Judging from the current situation, there are quite a few people to be arrested.
Although it is not a particularly large official bar, it has a lot of people, and they are working on projects from top to bottom.
When things got serious, the person named Zhang Cong initially attracted the attention of officials in Beijing.
Yang Yiqing originally thought it was just a corruption case in Huai'an Prefecture, nothing unusual, until the emperor became furious. After he got out of the palace, he took a closer look and found out that it started with a county magistrate.
"For a long time, most of the people's land belongs to the rich and powerful, and most of the official land is left to the poor. However, the country's taxes are still paid by the poor. If the poor cannot provide it, they scatter it in all directions to evade the tax. If the tax has nothing to pay, it is shared. Lijia. Therefore, there are many poor people, and Lijia is trapped in poverty... These few hundred words are really spicy. Mr. Ge, look at it."
Zhang Cong wrote an admonishment in front of the court. The sentences were profound and bloody, and they soon spread.
Yang Yiqing also praised after reading it, "It's really good and thought-provoking. What is this person's origin?"
"In the year of Bingyin, he won the second-level Jinshi."
"This case in the Huai'an Mansion, with His Majesty's words, will not cause any trouble, but this person must have been in the Emperor's heart. We might as well give His Majesty a step up."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, my subordinates are here to give me advice."
Yang Yiqing didn't need to elaborate on what he was admonishing, Qi Chengsui must have understood.
In fact, Zhang Cong himself knew that he probably wouldn't be able to continue working in Huai'an Mansion.
Two reasons. First, many of the criminal's family members hated him, and he was actually not interesting here. Secondly, this time we investigated the case and cut out the rotten flesh, and now the people of Shanyang County have received their money.
And it's fast.
With Mr. Ge here, he can naturally make decisions.
The engineering teams are all queuing up to get paid.
After the matter was resolved, he naturally felt that he could leave.
In fact, ordinary people in rough and hemp clothes know the general story just by listening to the story. Outside the Shanyang County government office, some people often gather in these days.
Because there are rumors that Zhang Cong is leaving.
It's not that the people love him so much, it's mainly because they are afraid that if such an official who makes decisions for the people leaves, he will bully people again in the future.
So Zhang Cong was blocked.
Hundreds of people came one after another, and they all knelt down spontaneously.
"This is Mr. Zhang, kowtow. Let's kowtow to Mr. Zhang. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang, no one would get the money back for us."
Among the people who kowtowed, some were gray-haired old men.
Zhang Cong thought to himself that this would shorten my life, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, get up, everyone!"
You will get up, just kowtow to your head.
Some people wanted to push forward, but were stopped by the government officials. An old man grabbed his arm and asked: "Mr. Zhang, all the villagers have benefited from your kindness. Today we are here to thank Mr. Zhang. But I heard that Mr. Zhang is leaving. Isn't this true?"
"Master Zhang, you can't leave. There are not many good parents in Shanyang County. We only believe in you. If you leave, who will make the decision for us in the future?!"
Zhang Cong has never become that kind of 'indispensable' person since he was a child. At this moment, he had a very special feeling.
"Thank you folks for your love. It's just not me who can decide where to be an official. I have to listen to the court and the emperor's orders." Zhang Cong cupped his hands towards the north, "Moreover, today's emperor loves the people like his own son, and he is a benevolent king. Even if Without Zhang Cong, the subsequent county magistrate will definitely treat everyone well, please rest assured!"
He said this as if he was really going to leave.
So the people couldn't accept it, and some of them seemed to cry.
Scenes like this happen more frequently as the rumors become more and more true.
As for those who were arrested, the only thing waiting for them was the bustle of Caishikou.
The first one is Tian Ruofu, the magistrate of Huai'an. He tried to escape and his crime was increased.
"I remember His Majesty said a word... bad money drives out good money. That means that promoting a corrupt official will have a negative impact far beyond normal expectations. So the reverse is reversed, and only good officials are promoted. This Only the atmosphere in the officialdom can be upright."
Wang Hao left such a sentence, and its meaning is self-evident.
And he said this to Wang Hua who was going north.
The two of them worked together in Zhan Shifu, Wang Hao was the young Zhan Shi, and Wang Hua was You Yude, so they were old acquaintances.
In May of this year, Wang Hua set out for Beijing. On the way, he heard that Mr. Ge was in Huai'an, so he naturally came to see him.
He had also heard about the wage theft case that was causing a storm in the city.
The local officials arrested more than thirty people, and the Yamen stationed by the Shaofu basically took over everything.
Wang Hua had not been involved in political affairs for many years, and this time he came across such a familiar scene...
How can I put it, it is really the character of the emperor.
"If I have a chance, I would like to meet Zhang Cong and Zhang Bingyong."
Wang Chao replied: "The enemy has to meet the Mingjun. Are you afraid that Dehui will not be promoted? Even if your Majesty doesn't mention it, the officials will not miss it. By then, there will naturally be a chance."
"I heard that Fei Zichong also recommended a man named Gu Renyi. I have heard of his name even when my subordinates are in Nanjing."
"Yes, in the presence of the governor of Shuntian, he is close to the people and loves the people, and he is always favored. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also said that the prefect is the foundation of the people. If he does a good job, he should be in office for a long time so that the people can obey the teachings. Gu Renyi After Liu Jian of Shandong, he is the second governor recognized by His Majesty. In the past two years, others have recommended Gu Renyi, and His Majesty has hardly moved."
Wang Hua couldn't help the smile on his face, and felt very happy in his heart, "A wise king and a wise minister are the blessing of the clan and the blessing of the people."
Shuntianfu is a land in the capital, and the contradiction between man and land is easily highlighted because there are many yamen, and they all like to enclose land. Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao found a "strong man", he would not touch him easily.
As time went by, people came to know that Gu Renyi was a very trusted confidant of the emperor.
Gu Renyi himself will also have confidence. What the emperor values is that he is honest and loves the people.
There are people like this, unless they are stupid, most people will not touch their bad luck.
Especially after the land distribution, the land in the capital has faded away from the previous poverty of thousands of miles. Instead, it is filled with smoke and peace and tranquility. This situation should not be destroyed.
Because of this, a peasant uprising was avoided here.
Only Zhu Houzhao knew this.
In early summer, both sides of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal are already ablaze with colors, and the acres of wheat fields give people a particularly happy feeling.
Looking away from Huai'an Prefecture, we soon arrived in Shandong.
Liu Jian, the governor of Shandong, has a great reputation among Qingliu. This is not only because of his age, but also because of his actual performance as an official.
The four words "Guotai Taiminan" are the most appropriate.
…
…
The capital, in the imperial palace.
Zhu Houzhao was visiting Concubine Shen.
The first three months of pregnancy are the most dangerous time. Concubine Shu is not like Huaixiao and Huaiyan who keep each other company. She is alone, which makes her lonely. Zhu Houzhao has been accompanying her more recently.
"Doctor Kui'er, how is your pulse?"
This was asked by the emperor.
But Concubine Shu was even more nervous, staring at the doctor carefully and not daring to look away for a moment.
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
After hearing this, Concubine Shu immediately showed her face and looked at the emperor.
This night, Kui'er didn't leave the palace.
Originally, there was a concubine in the palace who was pregnant, and she had to take care of her from time to time. She and her senior sister even had a place to live in the palace.
After the emperor finished his dinner, he gave instructions as usual.
About an hour later, Liu Jin brought the person over, and then left wisely.
From the second year of Zhengde to the fourth year of Zhengde, the relationship between Dr. Kui'er and the emperor became closer. At this moment, she knew that she would come to hold the lamp and grind ink for the emperor.
"Wait a moment, there are only some left." Zhu Houzhao said softly without raising his head.
Kui'er hummed skillfully.
Fortunately, the emperor said that it would be just a while, because the original time was also calculated, and it was almost over, so he brought her here.
After approving the last book, Zhu Houzhao stretched, twisted his neck and relaxed, "Kui'er."
"exist."
"Pinch your shoulders. They're a little sore."
"yes."
Kui'er followed to the old place. On the soft side, it was said that he was squeezing his shoulders, but in fact, Zhu Houzhao was already half lying in his arms.
The girl's hand feels very soft, and you can smell the fragrance even if you are close.
It's hard work for this guy to be the emperor, but if he wants to treat him badly, he won't treat himself badly.
What is this called?
Drinking together in front of people, surrounded by nephrite lamps.
He whispered this poem softly.
Kui'er didn't hear clearly, "What did your Majesty read?"
"I'm just thinking that it was written by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, but there is no verification."
"Poetry?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at her delicate and white cheeks and smiled evilly, "Come closer, I'll tell you."
Kui'er was a little shy, but she still believed it and lowered her head. However, after listening to only two sentences, his face was already flushed.
"No wonder they say he is a foolish king, he is so evil!"
"anything else."
By the time she finished reading the whole poem, the girl didn't even dare to raise her head.
Zhu Houzhao felt that he had won a great victory. And this is not the first time he has done this in more than a year.
"Your Majesty, you always bully others." Kui'er had no choice but to say this.
Zhu Houzhao just smiled and laughed, and then he became too lazy to even take a bath. He just wanted to lie in the arms of the beauty. This is called a real nephrite lamp hug.
"Kui'er, I will find a time to talk to Doctor Tan, and then I will let you enter the palace."
