Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 582

Don’t be afraid to settle accounts if you have one. Since these two imperial envoys are here to settle accounts, let’s do the calculations. Dou Kuan is the official envoy and you are the deputy envoy. It doesn’t matter who received the ceremony from Lao Tzu, both of you are to blame. , At this time, it is too late to put on the airs of an upright official.

If you want to blame, you can blame Dou Kuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity, for being so dishonest. He is so unscrupulous that he dares to take anything from anyone. Can you get away with it as an envoy?To put it bluntly, if you sign up in the lobby of the Sanfa Division, who will believe you if you say you share the gold!
Besides, you underestimate me, the governor who has been entrenched in Yongchang for many years. If I don't get the army, why would I dare to be so lawless?Glancing at the dozen or so Xuanjia soldiers standing at the entrance of the lobby, Han Kui raised his mouth slightly, just saying that he didn't practice fake moves, so as not to let you know how good he is, you are really putting on airs.

Thinking of this, he laughed coldly, then threw the teacup of the case to the ground, and a team of government soldiers rushed in from all around the lobby.Of course, Han Kui knows this truth, so in order to prevent problems before they happen, the governor has been guarding up to 200 guards all year round. In critical times, this can save lives. Han Kui would not joke about his own life.

"Shangbai, oh, maybe you still have this title in the imperial clan, sorry for being disrespectful. You don't get anything in vain, and the two of you must know better than me what the procedure is for the tribunal to try a case. Okay, let alone Let me tell you how you two explain the origin of those money and women, and I will tell you two about my way of being an official today, hoping to benefit the two superiors." After Li Chengqian said something, Han Kui took out some things that looked like ledgers from the interlayer of the wall.

Pointing at these things, he said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, since Wude became an official in the third year, the lower officials have developed the habit of keeping accounts. There is no way, just like this Dou Shangshu who has been false to me. It’s the same as Shang Xian, if the lower officials don’t send you all happily, the black hat is a trivial matter, even if it is the money and food that should be given, it will definitely not bring you all.”

Oh, "According to what you said, you are corrupt and perverting the law for the sake of the people, so should Yanji and I go to the court to ask for credit for you! After all, you don't even want to be righteous for the people, and it's okay for a courtier to do this." Not bad."

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Han Kui waved his hands while pacing, and then said: "This official has a big mouth and a small belly in his life, and he makes a lot of good things, but he doesn't swallow much. To use a metaphor, fish You’ve seen it before, the life of the lower officials is the same as them, and the things I fished are either filial piety to some high-ranking officials in Jiannan Road and Beijing, or distributed to the subordinates below.”

Han Kui's words are true, he would not have bribed Dou Kuan so recklessly based on his prudent temperament, but the imperial court sent two groups of people to Yongchang, and the pressure was too tight. His filial uncle couldn't do anything because the official who handled the case came from the Eastern Palace, so he had to focus on Dou Kuan.But who would have imagined that the master Dou Kuan wiped his mouth and played with him, and this fairy dance really caught him off guard.

"Those Beijing officials who are underfed and high-ranking, what can they give to the lower officials? If I, Han Kui, really encounter any difficulties, they will run faster than rabbits. Who can protect me from the wind and rain? Ah! Do you two know why those Beijing officials didn't help to cover up this time? Because they know that my doom has come, and it's time to pull down the officials.

But, because His Majesty and the Crown Prince were alarmed, they didn't want to pull me anymore, they all hid until I was dismissed from office and handed over to the Ministry for discussion.Just watch, you two, at that time they were guaranteed to look like important ministers and good generals, pulling their necks in the Golden Palace to ask His Majesty to cook up all of us who pay tribute every year and are more filial than our own grandsons.

This is the reason why I am willing to take the risk of bribing Dou Shangshu, because only if real people of my own are placed in the court, the situation in Yongchang can be maintained, and everyone can have a way out. "

Li Chengqian has participated in the government for so many years, and this is the first time he has heard a corrupt official speak so clearly. You don't need to point out the favorable and adverse events in the officialdom, they have laid out everything clearly. This is the reason for the so-called knowingly committing crimes.At the same time, he also had a new understanding of Han Kui's mentality and official skills.How else can we say that corrupt officials are capable officials? If you don't think hard and use all kinds of tricks, who can put money in your purse for nothing!

"Dudu Han, I have dealt with many corrupt officials. Some of them repented and felt that they were sorry for God's grace and the common people. They cried like a child in Yueli. There are others who are greedy, anyway, it’s just a word, traveling thousands of miles to be an official is only for money.

There are also those who are as timid as a mouse, and they are not willing to spend a copper coin after being greedy, and they are forced to bury them in their own vegetable cellars. They pretend to be poor every day, and they are still afraid. Being greedy or not being greedy doesn't change much of their life, the only fun is to squat down with the wife and mother to count when it gets dark. "

"But someone like you who is greedy and sober and dares to pull anyone off the horse is indeed rare. But what makes me curious is, since you know that they are such a virtuous person, why do you still respect them? Wouldn't it be better to lead your men to behave in peace?"

Hehe, after chuckling a few times, Han Kui shook his head: "Sir, you are a noble person destined for heaven. You are destined to be crowned king and rewarded as soon as you are born, open a government office and build a mansion. You don't understand us who are struggling in the state capital. The hardships of the lower officials.

Although I, Han Kui, do not come from a distinguished family, I can be considered a prominent family in Guanzhong.I was studying the Four Books and Five Classics assiduously when many dandies were hunting around. To be honest, I was really envious to see people living freely and happily, but I didn't want to live like that.

My father spent his whole life wandering because of the merits of his ancestors. When he was dying, he told me to study hard and be a person who is beneficial to the country.I have studied, and I have made progress, but it is useless to think about it. In addition to military achievements and a small number of children from poor families and common people, the Manchu civil and military are officials of aristocratic families.Even though the policy of the imperial court has changed a lot over the years, how much of a good position can be left for us after the big waves wash away the sand?No one, no money, this official still can't be promoted. "

"Since the imperial court pacified Shuzhong, I have been an official here. I am diligent and conscientious. I share the worries of the imperial court. Compared with those officials who take money and do nothing, I will be the governor of Yongchang regardless of taking up the vacancy! But the official When I grow up, I don't dare to be an upright official like I used to. I believe Dou Shangshu should understand this. It is too difficult to do things for the people. , Everyone is making money, and everyone is guaranteed to be a moth.

So if you want to be an official for a long time, you have to be in the same boat, and you have to respect those big men. You have heard that there are people in the court who are easy to be officials. , Why worry about colleagues who belong to each other!There are too many corrupt officials, if you want political achievements, I can show you the way, why bother to stare at such a small place as Yongchang. "

"As long as you two agree to the agreement in advance, I will make a decision and double the filial piety to you two, and then I will make an apology to you two at the table wine. Who has enmity with Jin Cancan Jin these years, this country is Your Majesty in the final analysis Yes, it has nothing to do with you whether the government is clean or not. You have to put yourself in an unpredictable place, everyone has a family and a business, and the small families in Chang'an City still miss you.".
