Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 11 Decontamination and Elimination (Part [-])
Feng Bao was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "How old is Gao Xinzheng showing this kind of memorabilia about governing the country to his nephew? If it wasn't for Gao Xinzheng's bewilderment, then this kid is really a child prodigy in the world, and he is so smart." But, a child is a child after all, no matter how smart he is, he can't understand these important national affairs at this age, right? But if he can't understand at all, then what does Gao Xinzheng mean by this move?"

But the hesitation in his heart did not prevent him from making a joke with a smile on his face: "Gaoge old country is a pillar of the dynasty, and there are many talents. Since this theory has been made, I think it must be to the point, and it hits the nail on the head. Our family has little knowledge, I don't know if it is true or not. Fortunately, I heard, what are the eight evils, and how to get rid of them?"

Gao Wushi smiled and waved his hands slightly: "The factory supervisor is too modest. The eight evils mentioned by the third uncle in this book, one is 'broken law', that is, misinterpreting the law, and arbitrarily serious; The third is 'mean', that is, cruel and harsh, making things difficult for the people; "Bi" means to form cliques and form factions, and the parties are the same to fight against differences; the seventh is to "go out of the way", that is to follow the responsibilities, and to respond to the story; the eighth is to "floating words", that is, to make a lot of discussions and confuse right and wrong."

Zhu Yijun was a little confused when he heard it, but Feng Bao's scalp was numb - the words hit the nail on the head, but he didn't know how Gao Xinzheng planned to get rid of these eight evils?You must know that all of the above are all old evils. The so-called freezing three feet is not a one-day cold. If you want to start with these things, I am afraid that none of them will be easy to deal with. If you do it casually, it will cause an uproar... Well, it's no wonder Gao Xinzheng didn't submit this memorial in the end.

Feng Baozheng felt that it was dangerous to continue this conversation, but Gao Yushi seemed to have understood his worries, and continued on his own: "But today, there is no need to talk about the rest, just talk about the second evil - warring goods."

Now Feng Bao is not so afraid-corruption, any dynasty and generation can be scolded, and he can be bold and confident.No matter who it is, there is no need to worry too much about scolding corrupt officials. Even eunuchs, scolding corrupt officials will not be regarded as a thorn in the side of the court.So now Factory Supervisor Feng decisively chose to continue to praise: "I want to ask Mr. Zhongxuan for a high-level discussion."

Gao Yushi recalled it for a while, and said: "There is a passage in it that says: those who are famous and virtuous, scholars and gentlemen can stand on their own, and they can't be destroyed in a day. The effect of self-cultivation is outstanding, but the way of innocence is lost. Righteousness. Where the yang uses the name and the yin violates the reality, or even both the name and the reality are contrary to it; where the benefit is, the yin uses the reality and the yang violates the name, and even the reality and the name are used together. Those who enter the body use bribes as a gift , Those who recruit officials judge talents by goods. It is only false Zhuo Mao's words of sympathy, but he is obedient to Yang Zhen's decree.

Feng Bao repeatedly nodded and said: "Mr. Zhongxuan's words are very true."

Gao Yushi said again: "The third uncle once said to the boy: "In recent years, right and wrong have been unclear, and the discussions have been reversed. Those who give bribes are not strict, and those who accept bribes are not investigated. Gu Duyu is very harsh on those who accept bribes. 'In this way,' so that the bribe-taker disappears without a trace, but the bribe-taker has a trace; This third uncle once explained to me and cited examples: Zhou Yude, the censor who inspected Nancheng, sent charcoal to the merchants, Yu Biao, a wealthy man, bribed Zhou, and sent his family Cao Xiong to post a post offering a hundred stones of white rice, hoping to be spared. Zhou then asked about the situation As a result, Cao Xiong was arrested and brought to justice, and the soldiers were sent to interrogate him. Another example: Zhang Shipei, the supervisory censor of Shandong Province, was promoted. For example, he should be impeached. Send it to the place of origin for recommendation. Zhang sent the bribery post to the procuratorate, and he will be strictly investigated. Another example: salt merchants Yang Dong and Li Lu issued gifts of 150 taels of silver, and bribed Li Xueshi, the censor of the Lianghuai patrol salt inspection. When they were sent to Li’s house, they were immediately captured by their family members, and even the stolen goods were sent to the government for questioning. Zhou Yude, Zhang Shipei, and Li Xueshi should have been commended for their bribery behavior, but at that time they were severely criticized and all kinds of gossip were created. Some said, They have a reputation for bribery, otherwise bribery would be easy to come by; some said that they bribed to cover up a bigger bribe; some said that they had been known to accept bribes and had to bribe; Blame the briber."

When Gao Wushi said this, he didn't actually get to the point, but Zhu Yijun was only eight years old after all, and his attention had already been diverted. To be blamed? Not right, not right."

Feng Bao's train of thought was not easy to be misled, so he took over the conversation: "Then what should be done according to Duke Zhongxuan's wishes?"

Gao Wushi said: "According to Sanbo's opinion, the evil of 'smuggling goods' is the key point of the 'eight evils', and 'smuggling goods' is actually closely related to 'breaking the law'. This so-called: Corruption must break the law, and breaking the law is for corruption Therefore, the countermeasure to get rid of corruption and perverting the law is: 'There is no forgiveness for dancing, so one law is followed; there is no forgiveness for greed, so the dirty customs are also clean'."

The reason is naturally the same, but Feng Bao feels that this topic is getting farther and farther?So he asked: "Then Mr. Xiao Gao said this..."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "What the boy means is that Sanbo is very disgusted with corruption, and he has cited it as a major disadvantage of the country at this time. But as far as the investigation of corruption is concerned, judging from the boy's understanding of Sanbo, he Mostly support it.”

Oh, the original key here.

Now Feng Bao understood what Gao Pragmatism meant: My third uncle hated corruption very much, and believed that this matter was related to the rise and fall of the country, so as long as it was to punish corruption, he would support it. As for who will punish it, this matter is not a matter Large and totally negotiable.

Since this was the meaning, Feng Bao's mind suddenly turned quickly.

If Gao Gong really hates corruption as Gao Yushi said, but he doesn't care much about who is in charge or who handles it... Then, if he takes on this job, he will be big in front of the emperor and the prince. Second, you can show your favor to Gao Gong—er, at least let Gao Gong see my ability, and I am on the same front with him on this big matter, so in the future Once there is another chance, he probably won't object to me making a little progress and becoming a palm print eunuch, right?

Things can be done!However, this Mr. Xiao Gao also looks very powerful. Regardless of how young he is, judging from his performance today, this boy is simply a genius. He is only an eight-year-old yellow-mouthed child. Not only is he clear in thinking, but he also has a black belly Gloomy and ruthless.In addition, this son is also very favored by Gao Gong, and he was brought to meet important officials in the capital, and to meet the Holy Majesty, this is completely treating him as the successor of the Gao family!For this Mr. Xiao Gao, I must not neglect him because of his age. I must pay attention and pay attention to him as... as Yan Shifan did a few years ago!
　Basin, friend, have you collected it?Have you voted?
