Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 337
Zhao Ke sighed and added at this time: "Master Song is a good official, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era. If he was born in the Renzong Dynasty, he would be like Bao Qingtian. It's a pity that the current officialdom of Song Dynasty can no longer accommodate him. There are people with integrity like him."

Zhao Ke said this, then looked at Li Qingwei, and she continued: "Just like a noble boy like you who doesn't like 'sexy dogs and horses', others like it, but if you don't like it, you can't integrate into their environment. circle."

Yang Chan continued: "Although our Master Song is a good official, he is too straightforward. To put it bluntly, he is 'dead-minded'. He understands everything, but he knows nothing about human relationships and the world."

"The sage always said that 'one is not a sage, but one can have no faults'. How can a person not make mistakes? He puts on a face that is more saintly than a saint all day long, but the sage also said, 'Knowing mistakes can make a big difference'. And he always shoulders the burden. Hold a big banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and then catch others' slight mistakes and mistakes, and punish them to death."

"In life, there are occasional mistakes, which are not mistakes. In this world, how can he be so stubborn in the officialdom. My father just made a mistake of drinking and made a small mistake. He was demoted and fined, and he was beaten with dozens of military sticks. It's okay to be demoted to a commoner. But he will be imprisoned and punished. It will make my Yang family lose face."

"What's more, my father made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, charged dozens of times, and had more than [-] old and new wounds on his body. There is hard work without credit."

"Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pleaded with the Holy One, but this Master Song just insisted on trying to punish my father with the words 'Great Song Wangfa'. There are so many corrupt officials in this world. He doesn't catch or punish the wrong clan nobles, but punishes a 'loyal minister and good general' like my father."

Li Qingwei understood Yang Chan's feelings. Yang Chan was not denouncing Song Ci's "iron face and selflessness", but was denouncing this dark world.Although it was bad, the mistakes made by Yang Chan's father, General Yang, were as clear as water compared to other officials.

General Yang was loyal to the country, but in the end he ended up with such a result. Although he was responsible for it, it is still embarrassing.

After all, this is how the world is, too strict with good people and too lenient with bad people.

And those bad people are good at disguising themselves as good people, making people think that a modest gentleman is also a hypocrite who is "a villain inside and a gentleman outside".All of a sudden, people can't tell right from wrong, making the world muddy.

Even Li Qingwei himself dare not say that he has no selfish intentions.

Li Qingwei said at this time: "I don't need to integrate into their circle. I don't have any prejudice against Mr. Song. If all the officials in my Song Dynasty were like Mr. Song, the world would have become clear and clear long ago, not today. Like that."

Zhao Ke asked at this time: "Qing Wei, what would you do if you were in Master Song's position?"

Li Qing smiled slightly and said: "Although Mr. Song is honest and upright and known as 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow', he is only a literati after all. If the emperor hadn't given him the post of 'promotion', I am afraid that he would have been killed dozens of times by those corrupt officials and nobles." This is the second time. Master Song wants to investigate the case with real evidence. But I am different."

Zhao Ke asked, "Oh? What's different about you, Qingwei?"

Li Qingwei replied: "I just rely on my likes and dislikes. If this person is really a villain of the common people, then I don't even bother to find out any evidence to convict him, let alone sentence him according to his guilt. They all killed him directly!"

Zhao Ke smiled and said at this moment: "Fortunately, you are not an official in the court. If you were an official in the court, it is estimated that not many officials in my Song Dynasty will die."

At this time, Zhao Ke sighed again, and she said, "Hey~! Today's Da Song officialdom is corrupt and dark. Although the father and grandfather know about it, they are powerless."

"Nowadays, the cronies in the court, although they are corrupt and dark, most of them are still loyal to the emperor. I remember that the emperor's grandfather seemed to say that the most important thing for a minister is not 'integrity' or 'outstanding ability' but 'loyalty to the emperor!' If If Mr. Song is asked to 'get to the bottom of it', then Grandpa Huang and Father Wang will also be in trouble."

"If those officials are punished, the new officials may not be able to do better than them, and the emperor's grandfather can't guarantee their absolute loyalty to the 'father', and if they don't undertake, then the 'law' will no longer be able to do it." Deterrence, the majesty of the Song Dynasty's "law of the king" will be completely lost, and the consequences will still be serious."

"So the emperor's attitude towards Mr. Song is to use him but not reuse him. Others impeach him, but grandpa defends him. What we want is to balance and deter the government and the public with a 'clear stream' like Mr. Song."

Li Qingwei was a little emotional, and Zhao Ke had exhausted the emperor's intentions in a few words.

He is a little hesitant now, he doesn't know if he will be so "cold-blooded" in the future.

Losing the "initial heart", everything is focused on the interests of the "royalty", not the common people of the world.

He didn't know this, maybe he would walk on this path one day.After all, sages like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably become dizzy in their later years.The "Witch Gu Disaster" and "Anshi Rebellion" broke out one after another.

But who can tell what happened next?

Li Qingwei asked at this time: "Then do you have any clues about your investigations these days?"

Zhao Ke shook his head at this moment and said: "No, the Imperial City Secretary investigated the boss of Hu Yulou. The boss is a pair of sisters. After the sisters were criminals, they got a windfall a few years ago and redeemed them. He was from a lowly family, and then he made a living by running this Hu Yulou. Except for the unknown source of a sum of money, there is nothing wrong with Cha Laicha."

"However, we can't convict them just like that. Although the source of the money is unclear, both Hu Yulou and her predecessor's sister's restaurant are making money every day. After investigation, it is nothing more than tax evasion. .”

"Originally, I wanted to entrust the two sisters to assist the court in the investigation. After all, they know who comes here often and what they do. But the two shopkeepers bluntly said that they are businessmen, and everyone who comes is a customer. They only accept money regardless of their status. Except for doing business to support the people on the first floor of Hu Yulou, I don't care about other people, although I know they are lying, but there is nothing I can do about it."

"During this period of time, I have been coming here at night to lure those Mongolians to take the bait. These Mongolian spies like to make friends with powerful people, and the financial resources and status I have shown during this time are naturally the top grade among the powerful. But it is a pity that they always Didn't find me."

At this time, Li Qingwei shook his head and said, "Hehe, why is it so troublesome to find a spy?"

Zhao Ke asked at this time: "Then what can you do?"

At this time, Li Qingwei took a sip of wine and said, "No!"

Zhao Ke rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can't help it, so what did you say?"
