God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 86 Datang Officials' Integrity and Self-discipline Regulations
Silent night.

Chang'an City, which was originally brightly lit, suddenly became silent.

A huge city also seemed to be asleep.

In Lai Guogong's mansion, Du He was sitting at the table, not feeling sleepy.

He was worrying about Cheng Chumo.

He wanted to help Cheng Chumo, not just to keep Cheng Yaojin's promise.

What's more, it really happened because of him.

If he doesn't handle it well, there must be a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over.

There is a stack of thick papers on the table, and a pen that is about to run out.

"The root cause of this incident actually lies in the old man Wei Zheng."

"It's just that Wei Zheng, an old guy, is notoriously hard to mess with. It's not easy to deal with him!"

Even Du He felt a little headache.

Wei Zheng really has no desires or desires.

Money, don't like it.

Beauty, not interested.

Power, doesn't seem to like much either.

What he does is really the kind that is close to a saint. He is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty and does not seek personal gain.

Those who have no desires are the most difficult to deal with.

Of course, there might be, but Du He couldn't figure it out for a while.

Suddenly, Du He remembered that he had been so busy recently that he hadn't turned on the system for a long time.

He then opened the super lottery system.

Reminders to obtain the shock value appeared densely.

It was only at the end that Du He realized that he only had more than 200 shock points.

This is not normal!

The system seemed to see his doubts, and explained: "Host, you haven't done anything shocking recently, so the shock value is very low."

Only then did Du He react.

Seems like he's been out of business for days.

Are you going to do something?

"Forget it, let's talk about the lottery first!"

"System, I want to draw a lottery!"

Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a copy of "Research on the Supervision System."

pat.

A hardcover book as thick as a brick fell on the table in front of Du He.

Du He picked it up, flipped through it casually, and found that it was a masterpiece written by a certain scholar in the later generations who spent more than ten years, and studied all the supervision systems in human history.

As far as the inspection system is concerned, the Tang Dynasty also has it. There is a Yushitai in the center, and there are various inspectors in the localities.

And Wei Zheng is today's imperial censor doctor, in charge of the censor platform, with the right to supervise civil and military officials, the right to supervise and review cases in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the right to advise the emperor.

Datang's supervisory system, up to now, can be said to be very complete.But compared with later generations, it is still far behind.

This knowledge is introduced in detail in this "Research on the Supervision System".

But, what use do I want this thing for?

Du He was a little depressed.

He was lying on the table, staring at this tome, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Success or failure is here!"

Then, he sat up straight, put the book aside, spread out the paper, picked up the signature pen, and began to write in a swish.

Written by Du He, the title is: Datang Officials' Integrity and Self-discipline Regulations.

After writing a full two pages, Du He put down his pen in satisfaction and said, "Old man Wei, I don't believe you are not tempted this time."

Then he carefully folded the paper and put it away, and went to sleep satisfied.

Early the next morning, when the sun was three poles high, Du He didn't get up.

As usual, he went to inspect the furniture factory and had lunch. Du He took Lu Bu out in the afternoon.

Lu Bu asked curiously, "Master, what are we doing here?"

Du He said: "Go to the Wei Mansion and pay a visit to Mr. Wei."

Not long after, the two arrived at the gate of Wei Mansion.

After the servants reported, the old housekeeper came out first.

Seeing Du He, the old housekeeper suddenly pointed at him and said, "You...you, it's you. I saw it clearly that night, it seems that you hit our master with a stick."

Du He smiled slightly, and said: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Old housekeeper, don't you know this truth? What does it mean to be like, yes, yes, no, no, you spread rumors like this, But you have to be responsible."

The old butler said angrily: "You, what do you want to do in Wei Mansion?"

"Please tell me that I have something to give to Mr. Wei."

"You wait!"

The old butler went in for a while before coming out, and said angrily, "Come with me."

Under the leadership of the old housekeeper, Du He and Lu Bu soon came to the living room of Wei Mansion.

Wei Zheng sat upright in the middle hall, looking at Du He indifferently.

"Young Master Du is such a rare visitor!"

Du He said with a smile: "Your Majesty Wei, you are being polite. From now on, our two families should walk around frequently."

"Humph!" Wei Zheng snorted, not wanting to speak.

Du He didn't feel embarrassed, walked over, and after taking a seat, he said straight to the point: "I came to the door rashly today, but there is actually something I want to give to Mr. Wei."

As he spoke, he put the two pages he wrote last night on the table in front of Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng took a look at Du He, and said, "If you want to persuade me to forgive Cheng Chumo, then don't waste your time. Cheng Chumo did such a thing, it's really arrogant, and I will never let him go."

"Hey," Du He waved his hand hastily, "Master Wei, it's too utilitarian for you to say that. I'm here today to share good things with you. It has nothing to do with Chu Mo. Why don't you take a look?"

Wei Zheng wanted to refuse, but he saw that what was on the table was not real money, nor any rare treasures, but just two pieces of paper, so it doesn't hurt to look at it.

So, he picked it up and took a look.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Wei Zheng was a little moved when he saw the title.

Datang Officials Integrity and Self-discipline Regulations.

It seems to be talking about officials' integrity.

When he became interested, he looked down and read it out.

"All officials of the Tang Dynasty must persist in serving the people, follow the important spirit of His Majesty, strive to be clean, upright and honest, cultivate a noble spirit, and cultivate noble sentiments."

Wei Zheng was surprised by the previous sentence.

As the boss of Yushitai, his most important function is to supervise all officials, prevent them from taking bribes, and not to do things for His Majesty and the people. This first sentence accurately summarizes the obligations of an official of the Tang Dynasty.

interesting!Wei Zheng thought to himself.

So he continued to look down.

"The first rule is to insist on self-restraint and dedication to the public, leaving the small family for everyone, putting the public before the private, and being selfless."

"The second rule is to be a clean and honest person, do things cleanly, be worthy of heaven and earth above, worthy of the lord at the middle, worthy of the people below, be worthy of others externally, and be worthy of the heart internally."

"Third, no matter how hard it is, enjoyment comes second. You must have the spirit of being especially able to endure hardships and risks, and serve the people of Datang wholeheartedly."

……

There are eight in total.

The more Wei Zheng looked at it, the more shocked he became.

At first he looked down on these words, because they were written in vernacular, not common classical Chinese.

After careful reading, you will find that the penetrating power of these vernacular languages ​​is so strong that every sentence can become the code of conduct that every official of the Tang Dynasty abides by.

In the end, Wei Zheng said excitedly: "If every official of the Tang Dynasty can meet the requirements of the regulations, then there is no need for the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty to exist."
