Southwest Wind and Cloud Sixty-Nine Mind the world
Jiang Baihua and Yi Tianhang were full of wine and food, and left the Li Mansion, leaving the subordinates of the arsenal and Li Heng's family members outside the gate in fear, these people looked at each other, and each thought to themselves, finally sent away this demon king of the world.
The subordinate officials took their leave, and hurriedly left the place of right and wrong, and the people of the Li Mansion closed the door and took care of Li Heng.
Jiang Baihua and Yi Tianhang returned to Wanxiang Restaurant by car, and in the carriage, Jiang Baihua said while eating dried fruits: "Ben Hou didn't hold back for a while, which made Brother Yi laugh, the dead fat pig flattered and chattered endlessly, and the spittle stars splashed on Ben Hou's face, Ben Hou was really annoyed." ”
"Brother Jiang is really 'true temperament', he eats and drinks as if he had nothing to do when he hurts someone, if Brother Jiang speaks later, I'm afraid that Master Li will already die at this moment." Yi Tianhang looked at the white man in front of him and said.
"Ben Hou doesn't want his life either, it's just a whim, a whim, don't tell Yixue about this matter, you and I compete fairly, and Brother Yi doesn't want to be bad behind his back."
"Haha, Brother Jiang is too worried, and Yimou won't gossip behind people's backs, but with Brother Jiang's actions, I'm afraid that this matter will spread sooner or later without me talking."
"Huh? Brother Yi talks to me like this, so he is not afraid of annoying Ben Hou and killing you now? Jiang Baihua pretended to be annoyed.
Yi Tianhang was not afraid of him, and replied: "If Brother Jiang wants to do something to me, he will do it last night, how can he wait until today?" However, I am also quite curious, with Brother Jiang's understanding, I robbed your beauty and treasure knife in the next, if this was replaced by others, it would have been a mortal enemy who would have been in the same place, but Brother Jiang could still drink and talk with me, such a wonderful thing is really rare in the world. ”
Jiang Baihua seemed to be quite useful when he heard this, and said: "Hmph, how can Benhou be comparable to ordinary people? But Brother Yi is also very human, knowing the identity of Ben Hou, his face did not change, and he got along with me as he did last night, which is amazing, even Tang Wanxiong and Ran Xingzhou have to be respectful when they see Ben Hou. ”
"Brother Jiang has won the award, there is a problem with this person, it can also be said that what he thinks in his head is different from the people in the world."
"Oh? Brother Yi said to hear it? ”
"In the opinion of the following, everyone in the world is equal, and all princes and nobles, dignitaries, and ordinary people are the same in Yi's eyes, they all carry one head on two shoulders, and no one is one level higher than others. In this world, there is only the difference between the elder and the younger, the elderly, peers, and juniors, and that's it, the elders are disrespectful to the old, and the misbehaving is the old thief, and the peers are vicious and disregarding morality. ”
Jiang Baihua clapped his hands and almost hit the car cover: "Hey, Brother Yi is really a strange person, who in this world is not to befriend the powerful and dislike the poor?" However, when Ben Hou heard Brother Yi's words, he suddenly had a sudden feeling that the clouds had opened and the fog had dispersed, alas, fortunately, Ben Hou changed his mind and did not kill you. ”
"The assassins of the Tang Gate?" Yi Tianhang scoffed.
"Hey~ Brother Yi mentioned this, it's in the past, come, let's talk about it, what else does Brother Yi think? Ben Hou listened attentively. Jiang Baihua had no sense of guilt about the assassination of the Tang Sect.
"I don't have a high opinion, but I have some things to see, and I want to talk to Brother Jiang."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"In this world, the officials are commanding their subordinates and trying their best to be sycophants to the superiors, treating the people like roadside wild dogs, abandoning them like shoe, occasionally mobilizing teachers and people to engage in the so-called comfort of the people, but under the guise of serving the country and the people, they only deduct some residues from between their teeth to help the poor, and do their best to publicize and the people as officials, diligent government and love the people, like a monkey wearing a robe, it is really ridiculous."
"Brother Yi has a deep prejudice against my Daqi officials, there are tens of millions of people in Daqi, and there are tens of thousands of officials, can officials be like this? The imperial court has been killing corruption and advocating honesty, even if it is as Brother Yi said, it can't all be killed. ”
"This is not necessary, just kill one to set an example, if it is not enough to kill one, then kill a hundred, kill a hundred if it is not enough, kill a thousand, and deter officials with harsh punishments, which is better than now."
"What now? Can't I control the officials under my order? ”
"Hou Ye lives in a temple and doesn't know much about the situation in various places. Now, when an errand commits a crime, he is first punished and then dismissed, and as soon as the limelight is over, he continues to be on an errand when he changes his position, and if the offense is more serious, he is only dismissed; Officials violating the law are even more understated, and the local government will admonish and review it internally, and if it doesn't work, it will be transferred to other counties and counties, and even fines will be saved, so what's the use of such punishments? ”
"Alas~ The officials in this place are bent on camping and just want to be promoted and make a fortune, Ben Hou is not ignorant, he has mentioned it to Brother Wang several times, but this court power is intertwined, and if it is involved, it will move the whole body, and no one knows which official to be punished today is the cronies of the minister of the court, and Brother Wang always has to weigh the interests of all parties." Jiang Baihua sighed, his brows furrowed.
Yi Tianhang continued: "The ancient sage Youyun 'The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people', but those who know the law and break the law, and those who enforce the law and break the law should be added to the crime! Most officials have long forgotten 'filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame', and people with lofty ideals are not allowed to stretch, and loyal people are not allowed to be reused, and there is a miasma from top to bottom! ”
"Brother Yi is cautious! Although Ben Hou admires Brother Yi, Brother Yi's words have stained my brother Wang. Jiang Baihua was slightly angry when he heard this.
Yi Tianhang glanced at Jiang Baihua and sneered: "Isn't Brother Jiang going to listen to the opinions of the subordinates?" Is this going to be annoyed? Zhao Shilang Zhao is a 'model' of slapping horses and flattery! A few years ago, he did a 'two or three things about the king of Qi', telling how the king of Qi loved the people, how he governed the country, and how he personally inspected the people's sufferings, and printed it on a large scale and distributed it to officials everywhere to read. Dare to ask Master Hou, how many times has your brother Wang been out of the royal city? Observe the people's feelings, but have they gone deep into the people? Have you ever really listened to the people?! In this way, the upward and downward effects! ”
"You?! Licentious! Jiang Baihua got up and drank heavily, but he hit the car cover headlong, and sat down with his head in his hands.
Yi Tianhang didn't want to say more, after all, people said it lightly, but when he said it, he was like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit unpleasantly.
Jiang Baihua pondered for a long time with a gloomy face, but his face tended to be calm, and said: "Listening to your words, the mouth suddenly opened, thank you Brother Yi for your advice, Brother Yi only talks about officials, how about talking about the people?" In recent years, many places have reported that the livelihood of the people has become more and more frequent, and in a small county town, there are two palms of blackmailers, and even more, a donkey cart on the official road can seriously injure people! ”
Yi Tianhang didn't want to say more, but seeing Jiang Baihua humbly asking at this time, he said again: "This matter is easy to solve but not easy to do, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the current situation is really the responsibility of the imperial court." In the past twenty or thirty years, the world's scholars have taken power and status as their lifelong pursuit, the people have no faith, only silver in their eyes, and even the stupid son of the landlord's family knows that money can make the ghost grind, and everything will be fine if he commits a crime. To uphold the people, first to correct the officials, sweep away the disadvantages of officialdom, corrupt officials should be caught and killed, and virtuous people should be employed, and the young people will walk on thin ice and be cautious, so that the officials are clean and the people are upright, and they are not stained with evil dust, so why worry about the instability of the world? ”
Jiang Baihua's expression was solemn, he had long lost his anger, and said: "Although Brother Yi is a person from the rivers and lakes, he has a good mind and a good plan, Mu Ziyu's old fox does have the wisdom to know people, and Brother Yi is willing to contribute to the people?" If the brother intends to enter the court as an official, Ben Hou should face Brother Wang and recommend it with all his might! Since his ascension to the throne, Brother Wang has been looking for talents, and he has never dared to slack off on national politics, but it is difficult to return. ”
"Master Hou's words are serious, but he is just reckless in the rivers and lakes, and he can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
It's not that Yi Tianhang doesn't want to take this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, but above the court can be described as the Longtan Tiger's Den, and the King of Qi has secretly raised a lot of masters and dead soldiers, if you want to use Nanqi for revenge, you must first improve martial arts and have the ability to protect yourself.
"Ben Hou feels more and more how wise he is not to kill you, Brother Yi is really talented, since Brother Yi is unwilling to enter the court as an official, I don't bother to speak, you and I are not hypocritical people, but Brother Yi is willing to enter my Hou Mansion to do things? Danqu City is my fiefdom, there are thousands of officials, more than 200,000 people, located at the junction of southern Sichuan and northern Sichuan, there are many merchants, it is a good place for Brother Yi to show his strength, and there are not so many rules of the imperial court. ”
Jiang Baihua recruited Yitianhang for the second time in one day, if it was said that the morning was with a sense of curiosity, then at this time, he sincerely wanted to take Yitianhang for his own use.
"Brother Jiang don't force it, I have a plan in the morning, and I want to make a splash in this river and lake, and I have already promised General Mu that I will go to the army sooner or later."
"Okay, that's all this Hou said, if Brother Yi changes his mind, you can come to my Danqu Hou Mansion at any time."
At this time, the carriage had stopped, and they had arrived at Wanxiang Restaurant, and the two of them got off the car and went back to the room to rest.
Yi Tianhang entered the guest room, and just removed the sword behind his back, but he heard a knock on the door, and the person who came was Ding Ci, a master of the Hou Mansion.
"Yi Shaoxia, Master Hou just ordered to invite Yi Shaoxia to have dinner together, and also invite Yi Shaoxia to appreciate his face when he arrives, don't refuse."
Yi Tianhang looked at the dignified but expressionless peer master in front of him, and said, "Okay, please tell Master Hou, I know." ”
"Well, farewell."
Ding Ci answered and left, Yi Tianhang closed the door and returned to the room, thinking that Jiang Baihua and this Ding Ci master and servant were a perfect match, one was moody and the other was stuffy.
There was another knock on the door, no need to guess to know, it must be Xu Yanshan who was not at ease to find it, Yi Tianhang responded, Xu Yanshan and Jiang Wei pushed the door in, and as soon as they entered the door, Xu Yanshan ordered Jiang Wei to guard the door to prevent others from eavesdropping.
"Brother Yi, but I'm worried about the death of Lao Xu and me, you don't know the temperament of this ditch marquis, this person has a changeable and capricious temperament, and he is crazy like a ghost." Xu Yanshan gestured and said.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, I've already seen it, the arsenal has caused Lord Li to be pierced with several holes, and he is doing his best to treat it."
"Huh?! Fortunately, there is Li Fatzi to prevent the disaster. ”
"The Marquis of the Ditch invited me to dine with us in the evening."
"Brother Yi agreed?"
"Promised."
"Then it's better to deal with it carefully, don't clash with him, now is not the time."
"Thank you Brother Xu for reminding me, I have my own measure."
Xu Yanshan saw that Yi Tianhang was a little sleepy, so he said goodbye after a short time, and when he went out, he happened to meet Ding Ci coming out of the guest room of the Marquis of Tangqu opposite, and the two nodded to each other, which was regarded as a greeting, at this time Xu Yanshan was worried in his heart, and it was necessary to inform Master Qirong.
