Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 475 Internal cleaning, not forgetting the original intention, only then can it last forever!

Interrogate Lu Wanling

Naturally, it will not be a public trial.

The problem with Lu Wanling is not that he was corrupt. In fact, up to now, Zhang Haogu has not found any evidence of Lu Wanling's corruption.

In other words, he did not embezzle a tael of silver in Shandong.

However, in this way, the problem is even more serious.

This is not a question of corruption or not, but that his ass is no longer on the side of the people. He speaks to and works for the Confucian government, and you can't even find any traces of the Confucian government's dealings with him.

He simply covered up these facts.

After a detailed investigation, Lu Wanling wiped the buttocks of many gentry. These many crimes were not exposed in time, and it also allowed some gentry to continue to act recklessly and recklessly in Shandong.

This is where the real problem lies.

Lu Wanling's butt is crooked, he is not speaking for the common people, but for the gentry.

He is honest and honest, but his behavior is wrong.

"Lu Wanling!"

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "The people here are all Datong students. Today's trial of you is not because of your corruption, but to investigate. Why do you want to shield the gentry, why do you want to shield the Confucian government!"

Lu Wanling looked at Zhang Haogu who was sitting in front of him, and then at the Datong freshmen around him, but he was silent for a long time, and he said in a low voice, "Your official is guilty!"

"Where is the crime?" Zhang Haogu asked.

Lu Wanling was silent, while Zhang Haogu said slowly: "It seems that you still don't know?"

"Yuanfu, I ask myself, I have never done anything wrong to the court, and I have never embezzled a tael of silver. I really don't understand why I am guilty. I beg Yuanfu to show me!" Lu Wanling gritted his teeth. He simply let it go and said: "What is the crime of the lower official, if it is really guilty, the lower official will definitely correct it!"

Zhang Haogu just smiled, and said lightly: "It seems that you still don't understand, so, Tan Yong!"

Tan Yong came out and saluted Zhang Haogu: "Yuanfu!"

Then, Tan Yong glanced at Lu Wanling and bowed deeply: "Men!"

Seeing Tan Yong, Lu Wanling sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhang Haogu would bring his student here. This Tan Yong is now the magistrate of Zhending Prefecture. After Lu Wanling left, Tan Yong took office on the spot.

only……

Lu Wanling sighed and said, "Yuan Fu, what's wrong with the lower officials, please show me to Yuan Fu!"

"Tan Yong, tell me!" Zhang Haogu said slowly.

"The fault of the mentor is to cover up. The fault of the mentor is to speak for the gentry. The fault of the mentor is to forget the original intention and the common people, but to speak for the gentry!"

Tan Yong said: "Teacher, have you ever taught me that your salary, bit by bit, people's fat and people's ointment, what we eat and use are all produced by the people. They gave us food and salary. Ask my mentor, how are the people of Shandong doing today?"

Lu Wanling was stunned, and then heard Tan Yong say: "The Confucian family harmed the common people, but the mentor did not report to the imperial court, did not deal with the Kong family, but hid the news, so that the Kong family would get worse and worse, and even did something for a dog." The thing that killed my Ming soldier!"

"If it wasn't for the mentor to cover up, if the mentor could always be on guard against the Confucius family, how could the Confucius family dare to make such a mistake?" Tan Yong gritted his teeth and said: "Master, you are a little cover, in the end It is the common people of Shandong who have harmed, and the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty who have harmed, so, does Master still think that he is not at fault?"

Lu Wanling was silent, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he led a group of students to reclaim wasteland in Yongding County.

It was still good at that time.

It seems that there are no distracting thoughts, just want to do something wholeheartedly.

When did it start that I gradually stopped thinking about these things?
Not being greedy, this should not be a reason for your innocence.

It was precisely because of his own protection that many people in Shandong were oppressed by landlords and gentry.

When this fact was presented in front of Lu Wanling, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, and was it a big mistake?

"I!"

Lu Wanling was silent, he found himself unable to argue.

Especially, when Tan Yong put the bloody facts in front of him, Lu Wanling fell silent, and even felt a little ashamed.

"My teacher is not wrong. How innocent are these people who were murdered? What did they do wrong? The gentry bullied them, but my teacher could not make decisions for them, and even wanted to protect these gentry. My teacher is not wrong? My teacher is very wrong!"

……

……

At this moment, Lu Wanling only felt as if he had lost all his strength, and just sat silently on the chair.

This apprentice of himself can be regarded as a lesson for himself.

"As an official, as a student of Datong, not only does it mean that if you are not greedy, you are right, and mediocrity is wrong. If you refuse to work hard for the people, you are wrong!"

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "Lu Wanling, think about it carefully, why do the people in Zhending Mansion support you? Is it just because of incorruptibility? No, it's because you went to Zhending Mansion, not afraid of power. The people are fighting against the gentry, against Zhao Nanxing, everyone believes in you, and believes that you are doing things for the people!"

"If you are in Zhending Mansion, so what if you are clean and honest? You were captured by Zhao Tianwang, would his subordinates let you out easily? Why did they let you out, because they believe that you will allocate land to them !"

"When you arrived in Shandong, did you forget all these things? You spoke for the gentry, you covered up for the Confucian government, and the people of Shandong were treated unfairly, and you refused to stand up. Lu Wanling, tell me, did you crime?"

Lu Wanling was sweating profusely, and then he said slowly, "I'm sorry, I'm guilty, please, please punish me!"

"Although your crime is serious, it is not a crime worthy of death!" Zhang Haogu said slowly: "From today onwards, you will be fired as a Datong student. From today onwards, you will be dismissed from office. Please be blessed!"

Lu Wanling closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, and after a long time, he slowly said, "I'm sorry!"

Zhang Haogu took a deep look at Lu Wanling. Similar to Lu Wanling, he is definitely not alone. I am afraid there are many, many. At the beginning, maybe they really did a lot of things, but now , they have begun to speak for the gentry.

This group of people, they are no longer worthy of their own reuse.

Taking advantage of Lu Wanling's opportunity, Zhang Haogu also made up his mind to carry out an internal purge.

Let everyone remember their original intentions honestly.

Don't forget the original intention, just have to always!
