Li Qiuling was choked by Wu Huanian's words.

Give seven hundred and fifty taels of silver and let her play with her life?

How could she possibly go?

But also thinking of this, Li Qiuling also seemed to realize something.

She closed her mouth and didn't open her mouth.

But the fire went out on her side, and Zhou Qi stood up again.

He cleared his throat, pinched his throat and said: "As a parent official, if you only value interests and do not pay attention to the people's livelihood, you will not have the consciousness to give your life for the people. ”

"Then what do you want these parents to do in this world?"

Zhou Qiyi said in words: "Why should the taxes that the imperial court has worked so hard to collect be used to support these officials who only have money in their eyes? ”

"I'm hehe!"

Wu Huanian gave him a big white eye.

"Listen, do you hear what you say?"

"The preface doesn't match the afterword, and it contradicts itself."

Wu Huanian said unhurriedly: "First of all, you said that as a parent official, you must have the consciousness of giving everything for the people, including your life. ”

"All I can say is that it's a good idea."

"But it's just an idea, and it's never going to happen."

"After all, officials are also people."

"Officials also need to eat grains and grains, and they also need to support their parents, wives and children."

Wu Huanian looked at Zhou Qi and asked rhetorically: "He lost his life, who will support his parents, and who will take care of their wives and children?" ”

"The Imperial Court, of course."

"After so many years, have you ever seen that the imperial court will treat heroes badly?"

Zhou Qi glanced at Wu Huanian, his eyes full of disdain.

"I haven't seen the court treat heroes badly."

"But I also didn't see the court treat the heroes well."

Wu Huanian raised his head and looked at Zhou Qidao: "Why don't you tell me a few names, who does the imperial court support?" ”

"Do you need to ask someone else about this?"

Zhou Qi smiled coldly and said: "Dengyang Marquis Zheng Kaishan, thirteen years ago, sacrificed his life for the country, and his descendants were all personally supported by His Majesty. ”

"Zhang Lie, the loyal and brave marquis, sacrificed his life for the country eight years ago, and his descendants have been properly arranged by His Majesty, and money and food will be given as an offering every month."

"Danyang Bolubo Dynasty ......"

Zhou Qina said in one breath the names of more than a dozen people who were supported by the imperial court after the sacrifice.

Li Anmin next to him was also full of pride.

He dared to point to the sky and say a word, he was never ashamed of the hero.

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, he was also full of ridicule.

"Our court has never treated these heroes badly."

"The support for these heroes has never been interrupted for a day."

Zhou Qi said angrily: "So it can only be said that some people are too narrow-minded and selfish, and this kind of person is not worthy of being an official at all!" ”

The selfish and narrow-minded person in his mouth is obviously Wu Huanian.

However.

Wu Huanian was not angry at all, but laughed, and laughed very loudly.

"Dengyang Marquis Zheng Kaishan, sacrificed his life for the country thirteen years ago."

"Before he died, he blocked twenty-six feathered arrows for His Majesty today."

"Loyal and brave Uncle Zhang Lie, sacrificed his life for the country eight years ago."

"Before he died, he was the queen of His Majesty, covering His Majesty's retreat to the safety of the rear."

"As for the next few, I don't even bother to say it."

"They basically have something to do with Your Majesty, or Your Majesty is personally recruited, and they are on your side."

"Or simply die for Your Majesty!"

"And under such circumstances, it would be strange if Your Majesty did not support their parents, wives and children for them."

Wu Huanian glanced at Zhou Qidao and said, "It's better for me to ask you a few." ”

"Do you know who Wang Xuan is?"

"Do you know who Li Dechuan is?"

"Do you know who Zhao Huan is?"

Wu Huanian's voice was low, and he said, "You shouldn't have even heard of the names of these people, right?" ”

Zhou Qi pouted indifferently and said, "Who knows where you came up with these names from nonsense." ”

"Is it nonsense?"

"When you go back to the capital, you'll find out by asking for yourself."

Wu Huanian said: "I'll ask you now, these people, have you heard of them, just answer me truthfully." ”

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

Zhou Qi said impatiently.

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you about it."

Wu Huanian said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about Wang Xuan first." ”

"This Wang Xuannai is a county magistrate in the northwest city, and he is the same batch of candidates as me."

"His luck is really bad, and within two years of taking office, he caught up with the locust plague in the northwest."

"At that time, he was also in a hurry, and he sent disaster relief documents to the imperial court asking for disaster relief."

"I paid out of my own pocket to buy food for the people and open porridge sheds to ensure food and clothing for the people."

Zhou Qi snorted coldly and interjected: "This is what a parent official should look like." ”

Li Anmin also nodded.

This is a good official.

And he also secretly wrote down the name Wang Xuan.

When he returned to Shangjing, he had to check the background of this person.

If what Wu Huanian said is true, as the emperor, what he should reward his courtiers cannot be bad at all.

"That's right."

"That's what a parent should look like."

"However, he died, less than three years into office."

"Do you know how he died?"

Wu Huanian's gaze swept over Zhou Qi and Li Anmin.

Li Anmin and Zhou Qi were both stunned.

The two also didn't expect that the one he was talking about turned out to be a dead man.

"How did you die?"

Li Anmin asked.

"He was beaten to death."

"They were beaten to death by those hungry and desperate people who grabbed food."

And his wife and daughter were dragged out of their homes by these displaced people...... Spoil, dismemberment, and eating. ”

In the end, Wu Huanian seemed to think of something that made him extremely painful, and his lips began to tremble.

And Zhou Qi and Li Anmin didn't expect it.

Such a county order for the country and the people will end up like this.

Wu Huanian turned his head to look at the two of them: "But even so, those of you who are in Shangjing have never even heard of his name, so what do you think the imperial court will give him?" ”

"Of course, you can say that."

"His wife and children were all killed by the exiles, and the court naturally would not provide for him."

"Then, let's talk about this Li Dechuan and Zhao Huan."

"Both of them are much older than me, but they are both candidates in the same batch as me."

"When I participated in the imperial examination, the two of them sat next to me, one on the left and one on the right."

"They are full of enthusiasm for serving the country, and they only want to dedicate themselves to the country."

Wu Huanian pursed his lips, looked up at the sky and said, "But the ending of the two of them doesn't seem to be good." ”

"Li Dechuan was sent to Shu to serve as a county commander after being promoted."

"But in the first year of his tenure, he died in the mountains because of banditry."

"When I met his wife and children, his little daughter had been sold into the Qinglou for more than three years."

"And his wife was mad and stupid, begging for food in the streets, and being humiliated."

"The latter Zhao Huan is not much better, after dying in office, his wife and children were starved to death."

When he said this, Wu Huanian suddenly smiled.

He laughed very loudly, out of breath.

It's been a long time.

Wu Huanian turned his head to look at Zhou Qi and Li Anmin, and said: "When an official works for the imperial court, in the end, his wife has to beg for food, his daughter has to be sold into the Qinglou, and his son has to starve to death, isn't this super funny?" ”
