Chapter 36: Officer
Zhongshan in the east of Jinling City, looking at the big river in the north, pine and cypress forests, splendid mountains and forests, beautiful scenery, it is a high-ranking official and noble person of Jinling City, and the wealthy businessman and giant Jia buy more properties here, and it is also a good place to cool off in summer.
At the foot of the North Mountain, a deep house, with pink walls and tiles, Zhumenge fans, elegant and simple. In the backyard of the house, in the bedroom, Gu Song, the general judge of Jiankang Mansion, was half-leaning on the couch, enjoying a fair-skinned young woman playing the piano.
The outdoor summer is scorching, but the indoor is cool, the sandalwood is curling, the wine and food on the table, the melons and fruits are cold, and the Jiankang Mansion judges Gu Song to pour himself a drink, which is comfortable and comfortable.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, he was sentenced to consular affairs with Zhizhou, and was in charge of affairs such as soldiers and civilians, money valleys, household registration, enlistment, and prison lawsuits. The official documents of each state must be signed together with the general judgment before they can take effect. The general judge also has the power to supervise and recommend the officials of the state to the imperial court, and if the state is known to be illegal, the general judge can report to the imperial court.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, when there was a war, the general judge was responsible for preparing money and grain, collecting money from the economy and the general system, and had great power.
And a general sentence like Gu Song, who was directly sent by the political affairs hall, was even more important, and he could compete with Wang Gang, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road and the prefect of Jiankang.
"Everyone Li, your piano skills are getting higher and higher!"
After the song was played, Gu Song put down the jade cup and cheered with a smile.
"Gu Xianggong, how many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing and talking. The slave family toasts you. ”
Li Xiangxiang came over, sat down beside Gu Song, picked up the wine glass in her slender hand, and the two of them smiled and drank together.
"Everyone Li, the imperial court has abolished the official prostitute status, and it is more convenient for this official to see you, and there is no need to go to the Qinhuai River to sneak around!"
Gu Song had warm nephrite in his arms, was in a good mood, and laughed.
Since the beginning of the year, the imperial court has tried a new policy on Jiangnan East Road, abolishing the lowly status of official prostitutes, and abolishing the private tax on the purchase and sale of personal weaving by the people.
What he didn't know was that the Anti-Corruption Department was already well aware of his affairs and adultery.
"Having said that, the sisters are begging for a living in Jinling, and they don't rely on Gu Xianggong to take care of them. If Gu Xianggong didn't call the slave family to come, the slave family would come to the door themselves. ”
Li Xiangxiang had a smile on her face, but she was extremely disdainful in her heart.
can't hide, Gu Song sent someone to come to the door, can she say no?
Although she is already free, she still has to mix in Jinling City, unless she disappears and leaves this world of flowers.
"Everyone Li, your piano skills are getting better and better, and your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!"
Gu Songzhi was smug and laughed.
I still want to get rid of myself, but I really can't do it.
"Gu Xianggong, your private house is worth a lot of money, I'm afraid it's worth tens of thousands, right?"
Li Xiangxiang changed the topic and returned to the topic of Gu Song's strong vanity.
"This is a gift from Liu Hao in Jiangning County in March this year, worth more than 30,000 yuan. If I accept you, you can live here in the future and play the piano and sing for this official! ”
Sure enough, Gu Song's face was arrogant, and he also looked like Gu Pan.
Li Xiangxiang's envious eyes made Gu Song's man's self-esteem greatly satisfied.
"Liu Hao from Jiangning County?"
Li Xiangxiang was taken aback, and subconsciously reminded:
"Gu Xianggong, Liu Hao is notorious, but he is a ruthless person. He has done a lot of stupid things, so don't get involved with the father-in-law. I've heard that the imperial court is fighting corruption and anti-corruption, and there is a lot of noise. Gu Xianggong should be cautious. ”
"Everyone, Li, you're too worried."
Gu Song smiled slightly, very disapproving.
"Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, have there been any investigations and punishments for official corruption? This house was given to the official by Liu Hao, what is the crime of the official? Moreover, the court's anti-corruption has always been thunder and rain, and it will not be taken seriously. If it is really investigated, do you think the officials of the DPRK and China, including those ruling ministers, are clean? Will the emperor also dispose of them? ”
Gu Song's words made Li Xiangxiang stunned.
Could it be that those ruling ministers in the DPRK and China also violated the law personally?
"Gu Xianggong, is there really a ruling minister involved?"
Li Xiangxiang asked curiously.
She actually just wanted to know how deep Gu Song had fallen into it, and how long he could stay in his current position. As for whether a ruling minister committed a crime, she didn't care at all.
"In the Great Song Dynasty, are there any officials who are not greedy? The Anti-Corruption Division, hmph, is just a hot brain for the emperor. My Great Song Dynasty is the Son of Heaven and the scholars who rule the world together, and the officials are all arrested, who will govern the world? Those fools? ”
Gu Song said coldly, instead of talking about the corruption of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, he popularized the facts and historical facts.
"Gu Xianggong, the emperor founded the Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and implemented a new policy on Jiangnan East Road, training troops or something, it seems that he wants to do something. Gu Xianggong, you should be careful. After all, this is not the case. ”
Li Xiangxiang poured wine for Gu Song, and looked at him with a meaningful look.
The various new policies on Jiangnan East Road, the newspapers are boiling, and there is a tendency for the mountain rain to come and fill the building, which makes Li Xiangxiang uneasy and very expectant.
Officials like Gu Song, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, drinking and being wealthy, and doing all kinds of bad things, just don't make decisions for the people. These dog officials have been caught, and the sky in Jinling can be brightened.
"Everyone Li, it's going to be fine, just put your heart back in your stomach!"
Gu Song picked up the wine glass and smiled coldly.
"The implementation of the new policy is nothing more than the emperor's wishful thinking. Since Emperor Xiaozong, how many times has the Jingjie Law been implemented, in the end, it has been a failure, and it has come to an end. The so-called public anger is difficult to commit, you just wait and see, it will not be long before the so-called new deal will end without a problem, and it will be as it should be. ”
Gu Song's face flushed, and he drank another glass.
Li Xiangxiang saw it clearly and shook her head secretly.
Gu Song said it easily, but in fact, he was under a lot of pressure, otherwise he wouldn't have drunk so much wine, and he had some meaning of using wine to kill his sorrows.
"Everyone, let's not talk about this. How about it, follow me, enjoy the wealth of the world. What do you think? ”
Gu Song kissed Li Xiangxiang on the face and changed the topic.
"Gu Xianggong, you now have one wife and three concubines, if I go over, it will be the fourth room, and you will not be abused by your wife every day. People are wealthy, and I can't afford to mess with them. ”
Gu Song has a wife and three concubines, with him being so lustful, I don't know how many women there are outside, it is not a good destination.
The difference between a concubine and a wife, heaven and earth. She would rather find an ordinary person to be a wife than risk becoming an official concubine.
"Don't worry, with me, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Gu Song's claws swam restlessly on Li Xiangxiang's body.
"You, you know how to bully people!"
Li Xiangxiang grinned and grabbed Gu Song's clutches, stood up, stood behind Gu Song, and rubbed his shoulders.
Gu Song is greedy and lustful, and now he is on the cusp of anti-corruption and anti-corruption, and he wants to make himself a concubine, which is neither the right time nor the right person.
It's just that I want to get rid of Gu Song's entanglement with the general judgment of Jiankang Mansion, I'm afraid it's not easy.
"Xianggong, Huang Zhifu, Liu Zhizhou, and Du Zhijun are all here, and they are waiting in the front hall."
The subordinate came in and whispered, and Gu Song nodded lightly.
"Everyone Li, you can rest for a while, and I'll go to see the guests."
Gu Song smiled and went out, Li Xiangxiang thought for a moment, quietly walked out of the backyard, and left in a sedan chair through the back door.
Huang Rucheng, the governor of Ningguofu, Liu Anguo, the governor of Huizhou, and Du Shi, the governor of Guangdejun, these corrupt officials are all Gu Song's henchmen. When they came to find Gu Song together, it must be a matter of the imperial court's implementation of the new policy. It seems that what the imperial court has done has disrupted the position of corrupt officials.
If you don't leave now, when will you stay? Do you want to stay and wrestle among these beasts?
Gu Song came to the front hall, and everyone waiting in the hall stood up one after another.
"Everybody's coming."
Gu Song waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he came to the main seat and sat down.
"Gu Xianggong, how should the imperial court deal with the implementation of the meridian boundary law?"
Huang Rucheng, the prefect of Ningguo Mansion, spoke first, he was dressed in a green silk suit, and he was like a wealthy businessman.
"Gu Xianggong, those guys from the Jingjie Institute are wandering around the fields every day, making a lot of noise. What should I do? ”
Liu Anguo, the governor of Huizhou, has a sad face and a cloth coat, like a scholar with no fame.
Everyone spoke one after another, and Gu Song's face was calm and silent.
"Gu Xianggong, the court is anti-corruption, whether it is true or not. You've got to get an idea! ”
Du Shi, the intellectuals of the Guangde Army, observed his words and stopped the hustle and bustle of everyone.
In the officialdom of Jiangnan East Road, everyone sentenced Gu Songma to Jiankang Mansion. Gu Song didn't say anything, and everyone had no backbone.
There was silence in the hall, and Gu Song took a sip of tea, and then coughed lightly.
"Nearly 300 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, have any officials been held accountable for corruption? As for the meridian law, the previous implementation has not been fruitless. You are all big members of the party, you have seen the world, what are you afraid of? ”
Gu Song's words made Tang Zhong's officials relaxed.
The Great Song Dynasty established the country with Confucianism, and it has always been the king and the scholars who ruled the world together. Taizu's legacy, if you can't punish the scholars, don't kill the scholars, and the court fights corruption, what can you do?
"Gu Xianggong, the meridian law is angry and resentful, and the eunuchs are bitter. It's up to you to decide how to deal with it. ”
When it comes to the meridian law, Huang Rucheng, the prefect of Ningguo Mansion, is nervous again.
"Yes! Gu Xianggong, the eunuchs worked hard to farm and soothe the people, and calm the place, but they can't chill their hearts! ”
Liu Anguo, the governor of Huizhou, has a sad face, worried about the country and the people.
Everyone looked at Gu Song, waiting for him to speak.
"The emperor's imperial decree, the Jiangnan East Road Imperial Court implements the meridian boundary law, do you dare to resist the decree?"
Gu Song whispered, and everyone was silent.
The emperor transferred Wang Gang and Hu Mengyu to Jiangnan East Road, and his determination to implement the meridian boundary law to the end is obvious, and it must not be forced.
"The emperor's decree, the law of the court cannot be violated, but since ancient times, the law does not blame the public, if everyone in the world opposes the implementation of the law of the meridians, the court ......?"
Gu Song wanted to speak and stopped, everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, life is too short, why not sing about wine? Now that you're here, let's relax! ”
"Then I will bother Gu Xianggong a lot!"
"Gu Xianggong, I'm bothered!"
All the officials smiled and thanked Gu Song.
The subordinate came in and muttered a few words in Gu Song's ear, Gu Song's face turned pale, and he scolded.
"This slut!"
In the woods opposite the house, two men dressed as woodcutters hid in a hidden place, carefully observing the wind and grass in the house.
"What a bunch of dog officers! Beautiful women and delicacies, it's really comfortable! ”
A woodcutter wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed softly.
"Don't complain, so many corrupt officials came here in disguise, pretending to be ghosts, they must not be happy."
Another majestic man stared at the courtyard in the woods, his brow furrowed.
"Boss, what now?"
"I'm watching here, you go back and report to the master. These officials who are here today must be remembered! ”
Seeing that there seemed to be no movement, the strong man immediately made a decision.
"Boss, don't worry! Not a single one can run! ”
The man nodded and turned to leave.
Beautiful women's mansions, gold, silver and jewelry, soon, all this will come to naught, and even these corrupt officials may lose their heads.
