Chapter 24 Jun En (1)
"You think you kill someone, but in my heart it's light?"
In the warm pavilion of the Ganqing Palace, the conversation between the king and his ministers continued.
"This is a solution. Killing people can temporarily make the administration last for a few years. If you don't kill people, it will become more and more serious. At that time, you will be killed more? Besides, once all officials in the world are corrupt, it cannot be changed by killing people! It is better to kill less people now than kill more people in the future!"
Xin Yande listened to Zhu Yunxi's words silently, and then said, "I am afraid that the emperor will be able to kill you. If you are unhappy in the future, you will be charged with murder!"
"You..." Zhu Yunxiu was so amused and crying, "No wonder you were two Jinshis. After staying in the capital for less than two years, you were sent to Guangxi as a censor. Can your stinky mouth be used to kill people?"
"What does it mean that I feel unhappy? What does it mean that I am looking for a charge to kill people? Can I kill people easily? If I am really such an emperor, just by your words, the Jinyiwei will go to prison directly with great disrespect when he goes out!"
"I am a disciple of a saint, and I can't tell lies, nor can I say good things!" Xin Yande said firmly, "It is inappropriate to kill people, especially Xingzhao Prison. Have the emperor ever thought that you are the emperor. If you want to kill people, like the Embroidered Uniform Guards, you must be pleased with you. In this way, the person you kill must be a damn person? Beware that too much is not as good as putting the cart before the horse!"
"All the emperor cannot kill, nor can he kill indiscriminately. Using killing to stop greed can only be temporary and cannot be cured. The emperor wants the ministers in the world to love and be loyal to you, or are he afraid of you?"
"As long as they abide by their own ethics!" Zhu Yunxi glanced at him and said, "The ethics of officials are unreliable. If I kill people, I will become a tyrant? This is the knowledge of saints you read? Officials are killed so sadly, but those people who have been destroyed by corrupt officials will not be their lives?"
"What the emperor is talking about is a fallacy..." Xin Yande said hurriedly, "I don't mean this! The saint said..."
"Don't talk about a saint!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Saint? Humph, since I have said this, I will ask you by the way, what is the most important thing about the saint's theory? Don't tell me what is the cultivation of a family, governing the country and pacifying the world. I tell you that the saint's knowledge controls people."
"It is the one who restrains people, the king, the minister, the father, the father, the son, and the son, and the people in the world are divided. Don't be dissatisfied, you can figure out if that's the case?"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu said again, "You said I was talking about fallacies, and I said you were talking about fallacies. I understand what you mean, and be careful not to be overly killed. But for such a big case, how about being cautious in such a nest case?"
"Oh, go check one by one, ask one by one, listen to their arguments and listen to their persuasion. Then do the court do anything else? Let's circle them all day long. I guess I can't find out when I die. Although you are a naughty, you don't understand anything about the officialdom, right?"
"Besides, why do they dare to do anything when they are corrupt, but I have to think twice before I kill them?"
Xin Yande pondered for a moment, "But everything is the cause..."
"Yes, someone told me!" Zhu Yunxiu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "Someone told me that the reason why corruption and death are endless is that the salaries of officials are too small. In addition to supporting their families, the salary of officials also has human relations, and they also have to hire a master to send an official sedan chairperson..."
"Hmph!" Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "This is even more fallacy. Those who have fame in the Ming Dynasty are exempt from land tax. Which official does not have 180 acres of land for money?"
"I have accepted this. Not only did I recognize it, but I also set up a banknote to raise money, and the officials should be given additional subsidies and increase their salary in disguise."
"Didn't you send it yet?" Xin Yande said.
"You..." He directly blocked Zhu Yunxi's chest in one breath, staring at him in anger.
"Besides, in my opinion, if you want to send money to the raising of integrity, you will definitely cancel the tax exemption rights of scholars!" Xin Yande said again, "Now Tie Buzheng is promoting the integration of officials and gentry in the land, it is white-faced, and your raising of integrity is red-faced..."
Who the hell said he was stupid? This young man is smarter than anyone else? He knew what the civil and military officials in the court had never guessed. Not only did he know, but he also guessed Zhu Yunxi's next move.
"This young man is a talent! You have to think about a place for him to show his strengths? Is it a pity to be a censor? Well, I don't even think about being a censor's ears!"
Zhu Yunxiu was shocked and his face remained unchanged, "Who did you hear nonsense?"
"The emperor has done everything, but he still doesn't recognize it?" Xin Yande asked back, and then he was silent for a moment. "In fact, the emperor's actions are both in agreement. When tax exemption is not good, it will definitely be a stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty in the future."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunyu nodded, and after saying so much, he finally said a few human words.
"Just as the emperor said, corruption can't be stopped!" Xin Yande continued, "In fact, you don't have to be afraid of corruption cases. If there is no case of corruption in the Ming Dynasty, it will be broken, which means that the whole world is greedy."
"But now it's not that far. Just like this case, who is actually the initiator?"
Zhu Yunxiu subconsciously said, "Who?"
"Of course it's King Zhou!" Xin Yande said, "Zhou Fan greedily colluded with the business, and the business snatched the officials, which caused such a horrific case that had not been seen in several years. Think about it carefully, there may not be any reason why Sheng Hengda, who was named Zhou Fan, threatened and tempted the officials!"
"A senior official is crushed to death, and the lower-level officials often have no choice but to do so...
”
"You're right!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "But a word of involuntary action is not enough to excuse me!" As he said, he sneered, "I have no excuse for corruption!"
When Xin Yande heard this, he whispered, "The emperor wants to kill people, but he only kills the people below. The culprit, King Zhou, doesn't know..."
Why doesn’t this naughty young man enter the oil or salt at all?
Zhu Yunxiu was furious directly, "Oh, have you not heard of my imperial edict? Did I not deal with the King of Zhou? You are the one who handled it lightly, right?" As he said, he was furious, "Then go to Fengyang and give the King of Zhou three feet of white silk!"
Xin Yande was not stunned yet and sat there without moving.
But he didn't speak, and his face was expressionless.
"Okay, you go down!" Zhu Yunxiu talked to him for a long time, and became more and more tired as he spoke. He leaned against the Arhat's bed and said powerlessly.
"The emperor also needs to take care of the dragon body!" Xin Yande stood up.
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu was so amused, "If you are angry with me a few times, I will naturally be fine. If you are angry with me a few more times, hey..."
"Loyal words are unpleasant." Xin Yande said, slowly bowing and retreating.
As he turned around, he heard Zhu Yunxi's sigh coming from the warm pavilion, "Why are you going to kill me?"
The wind was a little strong after the snow, which made Xin Yande's official robe and skirt fly.
Under the red official robe, the green lining inside was exposed, and a large patch on the knee was exposed.
There was a ground with water on the ground in front of him. He walked around and couldn't bear to get the official boots he just bought were stained and wet.
He was also a child from a poor family and lived a hard life. Since he was transferred to the capital, he still rented a house. Moreover, he still shared a yard with others, washed, rinsed, slit and repaired, and he didn't even have a book boy around him.
In recent years, I have not really had no money or water when I was in office for the Guangxi Censorate.
I remember the day after he took office, a small box of 150 taels was placed on his table, and silver ingots as big as dumplings were placed.
"It's not that others give gifts, but that the settlement money raised by your colleagues! After the resettlement is completed, don't forget to let me know and set up a few tables of banquets. My colleagues will burn the pot for you!"
The person who gave the money was his immediate boss, Zuo Buzheng of Guangxi.
As a result, he didn't accept the money, which made people feel dirty.
"As an official, there are upper limits and lower limits!" He still remembered what his teacher preached when he was studying in the state school, "When we become an official in the future, we should keep in mind the limits of the upper and lower levels, otherwise it will be a matter of destruction and will treat the king and the people badly!"
