Chapter 155: Argument with Li Chengqian
Gao Buer pondered for a long time before he said to Qiu Niang: "Your grievances are known to the king, but because the case happened to Wu County, I have to trouble you to go to Wu County with me, are you afraid?" ”
Qiu Niang's mother and daughter were overjoyed, Chen Yan was finally able to summon the snow, and knelt down again to buckle Gao Buer's head.
Gao Buer asked Gu Ci to help them up, and continued: "But I see that your mother is too weak and sick to travel any longer, so let her live in the academy temporarily, and by the way, I will ask someone to find a doctor to show her old man, and when the matter is over, you will take your mother back, so as not to be frightened again, are you willing?" ”
Qiu Niang thanked Dade and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
"You don't have to thank me, I am ashamed of your mother and daughter for such an unscrupulous thing, Lao Xu, you take their mother and daughter to settle down first, remember to ask the doctor of Huirentang to show the old man."
Xu Jingzong nodded and went to arrange it in person, and Qiu Niang took her mother with great gratitude.
Gu Ci said: "Lord, why do you need to go out in person for such a trivial matter, you can send a handwritten edict and go to the official." ”
Gao Buer sighed and said: "There are a lot of things to do in Yangzhou every day, and you still have to be busy with the things that take over the car, you can go." ”
Gu Ci knew that Gao Buer had something to say to Li Chengqian, so he bowed and retreated.
Gao Buer asked Li Chengqian to sit down, handed him Qiu Niang's paper, and when he finished reading it, Gao Buer asked, "Do you see something?" ”
"Grandpa Hui, this bully is really hateful, not to mention bullying people, and lawlessly harming people's lives, the local government actually does not handle it according to the law, so that the people have nowhere to redress their grievances."
"What you see is a superficial fact, but what I'm worried about is the chain of interests behind it, and this is what shakes the foundation of the country."
"The grandson doesn't know, and I ask the emperor's grandfather to make it clear."
"Judging from the paper, it was this guy named Dou Zhong who caused the destruction of Qiu Niang's family, and the case is also clear, the local government received the complaint to take people by law, and according to my Tang Dynasty law, just ask for the crime, right."
"Judging by the situation, it should be so."
But the fact now is that the local government is afraid of the forces behind Dou Zhong, but they dare not uphold justice for the people under their jurisdiction, so that the people have no way to sue, and in the long run, the people will lose trust in the government, and then lose trust in the court, once the people lose trust in the court, the country will be in danger. Therefore, when you look at things in the future, you must not only look at what is written on the paper, nor even just believe what is written on the fold, you must go and read more. ”
"My grandson has been taught, but how can this kind of thing be avoided?"
"Good question! I don't know this problem, our Tang Dynasty inherited the governing concept of the previous dynasties, Confucianism and Taoism, in the human society, everyone is not alone, inextricably linked, the higher the status in the court, the more relatives and friends, and because they have people in the court, if they can love themselves, motivated and self-sufficient, if they are willing to fall, it is easy to happen to Qiu Niang. ”
After a pause, Gao Buer continued: "This is also the reason why there have been founding emperors in all dynasties, and a large number of killings and degrading heroes have occurred in old age. In order to prevent the tail from falling off, the descendants of those heroes are not managed by the later emperors, and even the occurrence of uniting against the imperial power and corrupting the society has to be killed, but this is also a matter of killing chickens and taking eggs, and it will not be possible in the long run. ”
Li Chengqian nodded.
Gao Buji continued: "Once the descendants of meritorious heroes embark on the road of bullying others, the local government will learn from the same, and there will be things such as the children of officials, the children of wealthy merchants, and so on, so that the implementation of the laws of the dynasty will not be fair, and the implementation of policies will not be smooth, and eventually the dynasty will be chaotic and the dynasty will be overturned." ”
"Then why were there so few such things at the beginning of the country?"
"Because the older generation is here, most of them are from poor backgrounds, and they know the suffering of the people, although they will be more arrogant, it is also in the official face, and it will not affect the people. And their descendants have been rich and glorious since childhood, so they will not be able to understand the suffering of the people, nor will they regard the people as the cornerstone of the dynasty, the source of their wealth and glory, so they will do whatever they want to hurt the people and corrupt the dynasty. ”
"This is really difficult to do, if I hadn't been with you for so many years, I wouldn't have known that the people would actually use people to pull the land, I saw it in the book before, I thought it was a fabrication of the book. I don't know that my Datang is becoming more and more prosperous, and there will be so many ordinary people who can't fill their stomachs with two meals a day. ”
"It's cold from above, so you can't always be on top, fascinated by the words of the courtiers in front of you or around you, and can't see the real life of the common people who are 108,000 miles away from you, you can't just know in your heart that the common people are the cornerstone of the empire, you must go among them, it's best to go quietly, what you see with great fanfare will be what you want to see the most and what the courtiers want you to see, it's not the truth. The people's hearts are the best to gain, but also the easiest to lose, understand? ”
"My grandson has been taught, and I finally understand why you have to deal with this matter yourself."
"Oh? Is it? Let's hear it. ”
"First of all, this is a major event that affects the stability of the DPRK."
"Yes, there is no trivial matter in civil affairs, and there may be murders in one place, and other business development or something is a trivial matter, and second?"
"You want to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger and deter the officials."
"Your kid has grown up, but there is one more you forgot, and there are relatives of the emperor."
"This does not offend everyone."
"Your imperial grandfather and I are definitely defending the emperor and imperial power, and if others dare to endanger the community, they will be killed."
"You don't have to worry about future generations."
"The kid knows that you are the imperial grandfather, tell you, your imperial grandfather, I don't plan to have offspring, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, whoever is not satisfied can come to bite." Just kidding, since embarking on the path of immortality, it is difficult for Gao Fuji to want offspring, unless he ascends to the upper realm.
Li Chengqian listened to Gao Buer's words, and immediately knelt down and buckled his head, Gao Buer's words made him awe-inspired, and he also knew why the emperor's grandfather and father trusted him so much, pure.
