Chapter 127 Zhu Gaochi who has successfully lost weight
Chapter 127 Zhu Gaochi who succeeded in losing weight
Zhu Di also showed his rogue nature. He first recognized the meritorious officials and rewarded him with Feiyu uniforms. Anyone who opposes it is tantamount to going against the emperor.
You have to consider the consequences!
The three officials of the Sanfa Department are all one of the Great Nine Qings. How can they not understand this matter... But once this case is announced, it will be too dangerous for all officials.
Because this case provides a very scary idea.
As long as you do something wrong, even if you corrupt Gangchang, betray your kindness, and then be unfaithful and unfilial, bully the emperor and ignore your superiors... you will directly destroy the nine tribes, no need to discuss.
How to play this?
"Your Majesty, I have read the manuscript and thought..." Zheng Ci hesitated.
"Why?" Zhu Di asked.
"I think that this case is nothing more than an official having sex with a prostitute and having bad conduct. Moreover, she is a girl from a good family, so the crime is even worse... I only need to be dismissed from office. In any case, I should not be beheaded. I hope your majesty will show mercy!"
After saying that, Zheng Ci fell to his knees and crawled to the ground.
But after losing weight, Zhu Gaochi actually became a little handsome.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "He is mature and prudent, and he is a reliable talent."
The latter sentence is obviously just a word of comfort.
Guo Zi and Wuzhong looked at each other and both knelt down, "I second my opinion, your majesty, please have mercy!"
When will this kind of unlucky day end?
The Duke of Ding, Xu Jingchang, is in the middle, and the three princes, Prince Zhu Gaochi, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, and King of Zhao Zhu Gaosui, are prominently listed.
At first glance, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are quite similar to those of Zhu Di.
During this period of time, Zhu Gaochi has not done anything serious. He is mainly running to lose weight according to Xu Jingchang's instructions.
This is interesting to say. Huang Xiaoru rejected Zheng Ci’s appointment as censor of Qiandu, so he must show his sincerity!
Of course not!
That’s a high-ranking scholar-bureaucrat!
Faced with this situation, Huang Xiaoru's face couldn't help but turn red.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Zheng Shangshu, please listen to what I have to say. The people involved in this case are all court officials. They have read a lot of Confucius and Mencius. They talked eloquently in front of others, wrote poems, etiquette, and moral principles. They even gave advice.
The emperor is clear and logical. I think since you flaunt this, then this is the only way I can ask you."
Moreover, Fatty Zhu is the son of Empress Xu, and his facial features are very similar to his mother... In the past, Zhu Gaochi's appearance was obscured by fat, making him look bloated and clumsy.
Huang Xiaoru looked serious, "Replying to your majesty, I asked the case according to the order. If the proposed result can be recognized by the government and the public, I will naturally have merit. If the government and the public do not recognize it, it will be my dereliction of duty and I should be punished... Zheng Shangshu said that although I made a mistake, I
Even though I have achieved great success, I really can’t understand this. I don’t even dare to accept salary without merit, so I ask your Majesty to take a closer look.”
The only pity is that none of his colleagues came to congratulate him, and he has become a bit of a nuisance in the officialdom?
Is it possible that the first step to becoming the emperor's favorite is to offend other officials?
Just when Huang Xiaoru was thinking wildly, there was a sudden roar of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers.
Looking around, I saw a sea of people in the distance, and a group of people walking towards this side.
Anyway, the person is dead this time and no one can save him!
"The best county magistrate in the world".
"My lord, punishing corrupt officials is very satisfying. It's comparable to Bao Longtu!"
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Really? Zheng Shangshu, do you mean that benevolence, righteousness and morality can be put aside for the time being, and government affairs can be ignored?"
Zhu Di looked at them and smiled, "What you are saying is that Magistrate Huang made a wrong judgment and I also made a wrong reward, right?"
Huang Xiaoru was suddenly startled and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, how can a magistrate of Weichen County be responsible for such a big thing?"
How virtuous and capable are you?
Compared with Bao Qingtian, the people really looked up to him.
Not to mention, he has really lost a lot of weight.
He is truly a majestic prince.
Just listen to Zhu Di continue: "But this time the matter is special. They knew the law and violated the law, and aroused the anger of the people. Even if I want to spare them, there is no reason. I will kill them all according to Huang Zhixian's verdict! If there is another case like this in the future,
It will be decided by the three judicial departments.”
"That's right. Since they can't do whatever they want, don't they respect morality more than ordinary people? As for officials, they are the best among scholars, and they have to go further, right?" Xu Jingchang sneered: "Shen
As an official, he is supposed to make decisions for the people, but he takes the lead in having sex with prostitutes and bullying the people. Does this count as knowing the law and breaking the law?"
After all, with Xu Jingchang here, there will be no other outcome than humiliating himself... Zheng Ci lowered his head, Guo Zi and Wuzhong looked at each other, and did not dare to say anything at all.
"Huangzhi County, did you hear that Zheng Shangshu asked you for merit and wanted to promote you to an official position?"
"Of course not."
Six big characters, shining brightly.
Even if he is guilty, he should be given a lighter grade. How can he be given a higher grade?
Otherwise, where is the grace?
"Huangzhi County, this is the case. I plan to recommend to my father that you be responsible for the construction of Yingtian Waicheng."
Where is the dignity of scholar-bureaucrats?
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Yes, I have recommended to my father that you should serve as the censor of Zuoqiandu... After all, this is a position recognized by Zheng Shangshu, how can I be reluctant to give it up?"
The person walking at the front held a Wanmin umbrella.
Zheng Ci hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have no such intention. Huang Zhixian has done meritorious service in investigating the case and is diligent and loyal. It is natural for him to be rewarded. I am willing to recommend Huang Zhixian to be promoted to the position of censor of Qiandu."
Your Majesty, you are already a mature emperor and can no longer fool around with Xu Jingchang.
Zheng Ci has long known that Xu Jingchang is difficult to deal with. This kid is very sharp-tongued and has a lot of weird things to say, which can often leave you speechless.
"Sir Huang, the ordinary people thank you for taking the decision and gave you the Wanmin Umbrella."
From now on, you should not call people Zhu Dazhuang instead of Zhu Dazhuang.
Xu Jingchang smiled brightly, "Zheng Shangshu, you are in charge of the criminal justice system of a country. You must agree that rewards and punishments are fair. Whatever the crime, there will be the punishment. You can't give light sentences for serious crimes, and you can't give heavy sentences for minor crimes, right?"
Zhu Gaochi laughed and asked him to get up.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Xu Jingchang, who nodded with a smile and motioned for Zhu Gaochi to continue.
At this time, Xu Jingchang smiled lightly and said, "You will no longer be the county magistrate soon."
Huang Xiaoru was a high-ranking county magistrate of the sixth grade, while the censor of Qiandu was a fourth-grade official. With this step, not only he rose to the top, but he also reached the sky.
Zheng Ci's face turned dark. Confucianism is based on benevolence, righteousness, and principles. How can we not talk about morality?
"Mr. Dingguo, you are obviously being messy and unreasonable!"
Xu Jingchang continued to pursue the victory and said with a smile: "In this case, what's wrong with sentencing the criminal severely?"
Huang Xiaoru thanked the people again and again before accepting the Wanmin Umbrella. With excitement, he returned to the Yamen, only to find that someone was already waiting in the second hall, and he was not alone.
Zheng Ci was speechless for a moment and was speechless.
Huang Xiaoru really has mixed feelings.
"Dong Guo Gong, what do you think of this person from Huang Zhi County?"
This is what Zheng Ci feels, but he cannot express it.
"President Huang, there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you very much, folks. I will definitely do my best to make decisions for the people."
"You can't talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but behind your back men are stealing and women are prostitutes, right?" Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "How can such a person with two faces gain a foothold in the court? How can he assist His Majesty and govern the people? As an official, he must cultivate himself and manage his family.
To govern a country and bring peace to the world, one must do better than ordinary people, right?"
His Majesty personally sealed it, how honorable it is!
Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "Zheng Shangshu, what you said is wrong... Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are at the top. I want to ask you, is it because scholars are at the top that they can do whatever they want?"
Hearing this, Zheng Ci and others were overjoyed. Is there still a chance?
Zhu Di smiled and turned his head to Xu Jingchang again.
Everyone who saw it fell silent, and it was time for the emperor to come to a conclusion.
This step is really the right one.
Although Zheng Ci and the others wanted to stop him, they did not dare to disobey Zhu Di. They could only lower their heads again and chose to surrender.
Neither Zhu Lao Er nor Zhu Lao San was happy when their names were called.
As the person lost weight, Zhu Gaochi's self-confidence also increased.
But before they could come up with anything, a plaque written by the emperor was sent to the Shangyuan County Government.
Huang Xiaoru hurriedly knelt down and said, "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness."
Unlike Xu Jingchang, a lanky handsome boy, Zhu Gaochi has a big frame and a burly figure. Even if he loses weight successfully, he still has solid muscles and is powerful.
"Huang Zhixian, you have handled this case very well, which is very satisfying. Those corrupt officials and worms in the government cannot be polite. I also have a plan to make you take on greater responsibilities."
He was very happy and sent it to the Shangyuan County Government Office.
…
"Magistrate Huang, do you have anything else to explain? Duke Dingguo and I are here... Of course, there are also the King of Han and the King of Zhao. We will find a way."
"That's right, your Excellency is Bao Qingtian!"
They beat gongs and drums and were beaming with joy.
Zheng Ci and the others had no choice but to go to Jian Yi and ask Master Tianguan for advice.
Huang Xiaoru was stunned, hesitated a little, and was about to salute, but Zhu Gaochi stopped him with a smile.
Huang Xiaoru lay on the ground, kowtowed and thanked Heaven.
But what happened this time was too outrageous. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Dong Guo Gong, you are talking about the self-cultivation of officials. You can't use this to convict. Are these two different things?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "You say he is reliable, but Zheng Shangshu and others think the sentence was arbitrary. What do you say?"
Zhu Di said slowly: "I understand... what Duke Dingguo talks about is fairness. As a scholar, you should be more self-disciplined. As a court official, you must be better than the common people. I deeply believe that. But hundreds of officials are
My right-hand man, who assists me in governing the world, should be a little different."
Zheng Ci took a deep breath and said sadly: "Since Duke Dingguo understands this truth, he should advise His Majesty not to settle the case in this way, otherwise, the world will be in chaos."
Once upon a time, they were all busy working and didn't pay attention to what the boss was doing.
Until a few days ago, when everyone went to Fengtian Gate together, Zhu Di passed by his eldest son and suddenly discovered that Zhu Gaochi, who had lost weight, was exactly the same as when he was young.
Zhu Di was very pleased. Zhu Gaoxu had lost one of his biggest advantages and was much further away from the position of crown prince...
Huang Xiaoru pondered over and over again, "I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Ding for help. I plan to thoroughly investigate the hidden servants of the wealthy families in the capital... After all, there is no one in the outer city."
