Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"Your Majesty, Yan Hong, magistrate of Ailing County, asks to see you."

"Let him in."

"promise!"

This is really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

After a while, a middle-aged man who was sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion hurriedly entered the main hall of Linzi Palace, and paid homage to the Jiji celebration on the majesty's platform: "My lord, Yan Hong, magistrate of Ailing County, see His Majesty!"

"His Majesty the First Emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

"Yan Hong, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Yan Hong lower his head and stand aside.

At this time, as Yan Hong's deadly enemy, Bao Xi, the magistrate of Bohai County, frowned, came out and said to Qingji, "Your Majesty, you are visiting Bohai County, and ordered all the civil and military officials of Bohai County to meet you in Linzi."

"Yan Hong came late, it's really disrespectful!"

"Exactly!"

"Your Majesty, Master Bao's words are very true. Yan Hong has disrespected His Majesty and should be punished!"

"It's absurd for a small official with a rank of six hundred shi to let His Majesty and the princes wait."

"Even if Yan Hong is not executed immediately, he should be punished for a crime of negligence, a crime of disrespect, and he must be dismissed from office."

All the civil and military officials in Bohai County were talking to Qingji, and they seemed to repel Yan Hong very much.

From this we can see how popular Yan Hong is in Bohai County.

Qing Ji narrowed his eyes, focused on Yan Hong, and asked slowly, "Yan Hong, why are you late?"

"I'm going to visit Linzi, you already know a few days in advance, and you're not prepared to see him at all? It's too late?"

What you need to know is that every time Qingji goes on tour, he basically doesn't want to harass the local area too much and affect the local people's livelihood.

Therefore, not all officials, big and small, in Bohai County have to come to Linzi to see each other.

The rule of Qingji is that the county magistrates and county chiefs of Bohai County must go to Linzi to see him regularly, and other small officials such as county magistrates, county lieutenants, and masters do not have to come to Linzi...

At this moment, Yan Hong smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything."

"This morning, I learned from others that His Majesty will visit Linzi, and asked me to wait for the magistrate and county magistrate of Bohai County to meet him."

"How dare I be negligent? Knowing that His Majesty is about to arrive in Linzi City, I rode a fast horse from Ai Ling and drove hundreds of miles all the way. When I arrived in Linzi, the horse was foaming at the mouth and almost ran to death."

"That's it."

Qing Ji looked at Bao Xi with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Bao Xi, it seems that you failed to notify in time, which made Yan Hong late."

"His Majesty……"

Bao Xi swallowed subconsciously, lowered his head and said, "I have already sent people to summon county magistrates from all over the country to meet him in Linzi. Maybe it's because the people under his command didn't do their job effectively and failed to notify Mr. Yan. "

"I see."

Qingji waved his hand, and didn't want to get too entangled in this matter.

Qingji took another look at Yan Hong, looked him up and down for a while, and asked with great interest, "Yan Hong, everyone in Bohai County is wearing shabby official robes, why are your official robes so bright?"

Seeing that Qingji finally noticed, Yan Hong knelt on the ground again, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the official robes are worn out, but it doesn't mean that he is a good and honest official."

"Just because the official robes are bright does not mean that he is a corrupt official."

"A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured. I have something to report to His Majesty."

"Say."

"I want to impeach Bao Xi, the magistrate of Bohai County, and others. During his tenure, Bao Xi accepted bribes many times and formed cliques for personal gain. It was only because they acted in secret that they were able to deceive others."

As he said that, Yan Hong took out a memorial from his sleeve and asked someone to pass it to Qingji, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is the list of corrupt officials in Bohai County that I have collected through open and unannounced visits over the past three years. The roster, and its crimes, are also traceable."

"Your Majesty will send someone to check it out. This is the roster, please take a look at it!"

"..."

After Qingji took the memorial, he didn't read it, but put the memorial on the imperial case, and looked at Yan Hong calmly.

"His Majesty……"

"Yan Hong, you are just a county magistrate, not a censor, so what you have done, you will inevitably be suspected of being a generational hermit."

"His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Yan Hong immediately became impatient, and said with emotion: "What I said is absolutely true!"

"Although I am not a censor, I am still a subject of His Majesty, a subject of Great Wu!"

"For other people's corruption, the minister also has the obligation to report!"

"Your Majesty, look at the shabby official robes that Bao Xi and the others are wearing. In fact, this is a means for Bao Xi to collect money!"

"Three years ago, when Bao Xi took office as the governor of Bohai County, he wore such a shabby official robe."

"He is a county governor, in charge of the government affairs of Bohai County. Not to mention cronyism, he pretends to be clean and upright, but in fact he has a bad stomach."

"Bao Xi reused those who wore old official robes because he sold all the official robes. An old official robe can be sold for a high price of 30 yuan, or even [-] yuan!"

"Isn't this a big joke in the world? Your Majesty, let the other party fight against dissidents. Those officials who don't want to get close to him or join him in the same ranks will either be demoted or put on the shelf. It will be even more difficult to be an official."

"If His Majesty does not punish such a corrupt official and such a traitor of the country, what is the law of the country? What is the law of heaven?"

"Your Majesty, please be aware!"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Hong knelt on the floor and kowtowed to Qingji.

"Yan Hong, don't spout blood here!"

Bao Xi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, pointed at Yan Hong and reprimanded him: "As an official, I have a clean sleeve, which is well-known in the government and the public!"

"All the people under my rule are not to be praised by all peoples, but the political achievements I have made, can you just slander them?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Hong is slandering the minister! Slander!"

"Your Majesty, please be the master!"

Before Qingji could speak, all the civil and military personnel in Bohai County spoke to Qingji one after another, saying good things for Bao Xi, and at the same time accusing Yan Hong of spouting blood.

"quiet!"

Seeing that everyone was talking non-stop, Qingji waved his hand to interrupt their conversation.

The huge palace finally became quiet again.

Qingji put his eyes on Yan Hong and asked, "Yan Hong, do you have evidence to impeach Bao Xi and others for corrupting the law and forming cliques for personal gain?"

"Have."

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, even though Bao Xi acted covertly and acted like an upright official on the surface, he couldn't hold fire with paper."

"Bao Xi's family members and relatives have a lot of land and property under their names, all of which he looted over the past few decades as an official."

"The bookkeeper can't find it, but with His Majesty's ability and the ability of Heibingtai, it must be a breeze to verify Bao Xi's private property."
