Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 249 Let's Watch Its Talent
The widow has a disease, and the widow is lustful.

Xiao Gaowang doesn't think there is any problem with this. As a modern person, there are no mobile phones, no computers, and lack of entertainment materials in this era. If you can't even arouse your interest in female sex, then you don't look like a human at all. It is really extraordinary and refined. up.

But Gao Cheng didn't know what kind of misunderstanding it was, so he asked the Cui family to ask Lu Yuanming, who was entrusted with Sanqi's regular attendant and supervisor, to pass on a message to them, willing to sacrifice Cui Niang in exchange for his acquittal and release of Cui Yang and his wife.

Since Cui Yan was imprisoned, more and more details have been leaked out, and everyone knows that the whole incident was caused by Cui Xian's retaliation.

The reason why Lu Yuanming waded into this muddy water was, in the final analysis, that he and Cui Yan had ridiculed the Li family of Zhaojun and the Cui family of Boling together, and wanted to use the opportunity of being a matchmaker to show favor to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng's expression was not hesitant, which also made Lu Yuanming uneasy.

"Go back and tell the Cui family that I, Gao Zihui, have the best appearance and power for a while. If there is something good, I will come to ask for marriage. Why do you need to force the marriage and do such despicable acts?"

Even Yuan Jingyi and Xiao Gao Wang never threatened Cui Kuo. He is lustful, but he also has his own pride and bottom line.

Lu Yuanming hurriedly pleaded guilty and retreated, but the matchmaker was not regarded as a matchmaker, but he was tainted with riots.

When everyone in the Cui family learned of Gao Cheng's attitude, Feng's family was already in despair, but Cui Niang's feelings were complicated. Just as Gao Cheng said, no matter his appearance or power, he was the best choice. It should be a lover who can be entrusted for life.

However, no one expected that the turning point would come soon.

It was not Cui Niang's beauty that saved Cui Yan's life, but Gao Cheng heard that Cui Shan was visiting various places to experience the sufferings of the people, hoping to offer a strategy to strengthen the country and enrich the people in the Beijing test. (see chapter 245)
Cui Xian and Cui Yan were not personal enemies, but Cui Yan humiliated the Cui family of Boling, so King Gao summoned all three Cui of Boling.

Gao Cheng told Cui Shan about his travels, and said bluntly:
"Nowadays there is Yu Wentai fighting against the Kansai, and Xiao Yan is on the left side of the Yangtze River. Although the Kanto is strong, after all, the great cause has not been accomplished.

"Cui Lian has the ambition to serve the country, and his path should not be cut off because of his father. In my opinion, Cui Yuan should be imprisoned, and there is no rush to convict him. It seems that the Beijing examination will be held next year.

"If Cui Shan is really a scholar of the state, and Cui Yan is ordered to become an official, he will not be punished with crimes. If Cui Shan is a great talent, he will be dealt with according to the law. What do you think?"

After the Empress Dowager Feng distributed salaries to officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen imposed a penalty of "death to the one who steals a horse" for corrupt officials. The market price is only three hundred dollars.

This measure is draconian, but it is simply not feasible.

If we really want to strictly implement the rule of "one horse full of stolen goods will die", except for a few honest people such as Du Bi and Zhang Yao, if one counts as one, nine out of ten civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will surely die.

Since the promulgation of this regulation by Emperor Xiaowen, it has basically become superficial, and it has also made it impossible to truly punish corrupt people according to the law.

Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai reformed the law and made changes to this system. They both set the number of capital offenses at [-] pieces of cloth and below [-] pieces. Liu, four punishments ranging from.

In fact, even if Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai raised the amount of the death penalty for the stolen goods to [-] horses, for most corrupt officials, once they are found out, it is still a death penalty.

After all, the amount of 500 pieces of cloth is not much. During the time of Emperor Wei Ming, [-] people from Qinghe County were stationed in the west. They wanted to return home and passed through Zhao County.

And Cui Yan's stolen money naturally did not exceed [-] horses. Gao Cheng's meaning was very clear. Cui Yan's life or death all depended on whether his son Cui Shan really benefited the country and the people.

If Cui Lian is up to the challenge, Gao Cheng can just order Cui Yan to resign and return to his hometown for retirement, and Cui Lian will not have nowhere to serve the country because of the rule that as the son of a criminal official, he cannot be an official for three generations.

But if Cui Shan can't come up with a strategy that satisfies him, Cui Yan will punish him with death according to the "Taichang Law".

Cui Xian, Cui Ang, and Cui Jishu have no objection to this. In the final analysis, all the believers are Yuan Congzhong, and there are many people who are more greedy than Cui Yan. It was Chen Yuankang.

And the reason why Cui Yan was dealt with alone was that he was unrestrained, because he said, "Can children with yellow jaws also be able to take on important tasks?" 'Offended Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng was willing to give Cui Shan a chance to make amends, and came up with a feasible strategy that would benefit the country and the people to save his family. Cui Xian and the others couldn't say anything else. The real sufferer.

Regarding the gains and losses of this matter, Gao Cheng has his own calculations in his mind, the feasible strategy of killing one less person in exchange for strengthening the country and enriching the people is to make money no matter what.

As for the destruction of the system, if there is no conviction, it will not destroy the system of [-] horses full of stolen goods. Now the Eastern Wei Dynasty has more than [-] horses stolen, and there are countless people who have not been convicted, and there is no shortage of Cui Yan.

In the final analysis, keeping the useful and eliminating the incompetent is the anti-corruption attitude we should uphold in this era.

Gao Cheng's attitude was quickly passed on to Cui's family, and they also hurriedly wrote letters, telling Cui Shan not to return to Beijing, and to prepare for the next year's Beijing exam in the local area, that is the way to save his father.

Xing Shao submitted his resignation as governor of Yanzhou, and the resignation was quickly approved, and Gao Cheng didn't even bother to make a gesture to persuade him to stay.

Cui Yan is just corrupt, but Xing Shao is deceitful. No matter how capable Xing Shao is, it is impossible for Gao Cheng to set this precedent for him.

When Xing Shao left Luoyang, Cui Xian was the only one to see him off.

But he couldn't blame others, even Cui Xian's closeness persuaded him, bluntly saying that Xing Shao was unfaithful and unrighteous, and he deserved to end up like this, but Cui Xian insisted on sending him off.

"It was only when I wrote a letter to invite my son that I entered Luo. Siam never thought that what happened today will happen. I am the one who hurt you."

Cui Xian felt quite guilty. If the two were not close friends, Xing Shao would not be one of the three recommended by Cui Siam. Now that Wen Zisheng and Cui Ang are in high positions, and Xing Shao alone has lost his reputation, Cui Xian is inevitably sad.

"Shao Jiu took it upon himself, so what does it have to do with Ji Lun?"

Xing Shao smiled wryly, at the age of 42, he used to have black hair, but now his temples are gray, showing his old appearance.

"What are Zicai's plans for the future?"

Cui Xian asked.

Xing Shao turned his head and glanced at Luoyang City behind him, and then turned his eyes to the east, pretending to be free and easy:
"Indulge in the mountains and rivers, and chat to comfort your life."

But Cui Xian knew that his heart was miserable, and hiding in the mountains and forests was something only people would do in the dark world.

Now Kanto is thriving under the governance of Gao Cheng. In such a world, one's talent will be buried, and only the infamy will be left in the history books. Who can be really free and easy.
