Chapter 222, two or three things about the journey to the east

Although Zhao Zheng was dissatisfied, he didn't quarrel with Yaoxing, after all, this matter is not very important, it is not about the country or the family!

In Zhao Zheng's eyes, home is only for him and Yaoxing. When Fusu was young, they often held them in their arms, which was very emotional. When Fusu grows up, he will be the prince, not just the child in his arms, so he can't spoil him anymore in terms of identity.

Only Yao Xing is the one who advances and retreats with him and works with one heart and one mind.

Wang Jia slowly drove out of Xianyang, the speed was not fast, but everywhere he went, Yao Xing asked the accompanying officials to change into civilian clothes, without attendants, scattered in the market, and experienced the life of the people firsthand.

Although they can't empathize with the people, being able to let them see the people's joys and pains is the most basic thing for them to be officials.

"You will, but they may not be what you want." Zhao Zheng did not stop Yaoxing's arrangement, but when he chatted with Yaoxing afterwards, he said the shortcomings.

"Those who are officials should be loyal to the king and love the people, and the loyal king must see the emperor's imperial skills, but to love the people, they must see the bitterness and happiness of the people with their own eyes and know what the people need. Is there anything wrong with me doing this? Yao Xing was puzzled

Zhao Zhengdao: "Many clans are born with a high eye, usually talented in the court, and seem to be a gentleman, but in fact they are pretentious, and even feel that it is an insult to be in the same place with ordinary people. ”

"Yesterday I demoted a Shangqing because he was snubbed by a shopkeeper while drinking tea in the market and had an argument. The look of looking down on people made the boss and the diners next to him dislike, and they ridiculed and ridiculed a few words. He didn't have a seizure at the time, but after we left, he sent someone to burn down the restaurant, and the owner and Xiao Er, as well as a few diners, were locked up in the restaurant and burned alive. ”

Yao Xing was shocked when he heard this, the cause of this tragic thing turned out to be just negligence when drinking tea. In the final analysis, it was the man who prided himself on being noble, and regarded the lives of ordinary people as cattle and horses that could be killed at will. His anger was not just a hat and a few taunts, but he let go of the noble and lowly people in the same place.

And such a person is a class of people, not a person.

"What did you do to him?" Yao Xing hurriedly asked.

Zhao Zheng sighed: "I dismissed him and escorted him back to Xianyang." ”

Yaoxing was stunned for a moment, is this the end?

"He refused to admit what he had done, and I had dismissed him on the basis of the confession of the killer he had sent. If you want to convict him and even execute him, you have to return to Xianyang and kill chickens and monkeys in front of hundreds of officials. Zhao Zheng gave Yao Xing an explanation, although he was not satisfied with this explanation.

Yao Xing knew that this was the best way at the moment, if he was killed, this same kind of person would not change his behavior, and would even do it more ruthlessly so that people would not be able to earn a handle. Find out what he has done, publicize it widely, and then punish and execute him, so that the people of his family have to obey, and only then can he make an example for all officials to know that Zhao Zheng values the people.

"Then my arrangement is not wrong, at least people like him are just an exception. Most of the officials have seen the lives of the people and know what we need them to do. ”

When fighting the world, Zhao Zheng needs generals who charge into battle, and strategists who have exhausted all their organs. But if there is no unification today, and there is no war, what Zhao Zheng needs is a good official to let the people live.
