Xiu Xian: I can reincarnate in the heavens

Chapter 71 Who is the Corrupt Official?

"Pan'an, you are a girl, what are you thinking about so much?"

"Your father has his own considerations, it's not your turn to worry about it."

Inside the carriage, another soft female voice came out.

Looking through the gap in the opened reed curtain, one can see that in the carriage, besides Ouyang Pan'an who just spoke, there is another middle-aged beautiful woman in her thirties.

Ouyang Zaizhi is nearly seventy years old.

But he is old-hearted. After the death of his 50-year-old wife, he continued with another wife.

"Mom, what you said is wrong."

"If you don't know the world, if you marry a military general in a prosperous age, it will be difficult for you to get ahead in your life. It's not like marrying a scholar, who is romantic and understands poetry and books. But if you are in troubled times, you should marry a military general. At least you can be safe for a while..."

Ouyang Pan'an argued.

however--

Before she finished speaking, there was a clatter of horseshoes behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Tiqi from the Night Watch Division surrounded them.

"Lord Ouyang..."

"The emperor asked you to write a national policy before leaving."

Facing the former Zaifu, even the night watchman did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.Therefore, the Tiqi leader who came to Zhaomayi this time was not Baihu or Qianhu, but the dignified commander of the Night Watch Division.

"national policy?"

Ouyang Zaizhi was taken aback for a moment, and then a sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He achieved the pinnacle of civil servants.

In terms of scheming, it is difficult for people in the world to compare with him.

Therefore, after Commander Liu only uttered these few words, he guessed what the national policy Emperor Chongming wanted.

It's nothing more than letting him, the former prime minister who abandoned his official position, take the responsibility!

"Your Majesty said..."

"After you left, you were given the posthumous title of Wenzhong. In the 300 years of the Kingdom, only a few people have received such an honor."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven."

After all, Commander Liu glanced at the female relatives on the carriage, and said in a low voice, "Master Ouyang, don't make mistakes..."

"I remember……"

"When the emperor was the crown prince, I served as the crown prince's Shaofu, and I lectured on classics and history for him..."

Ouyang Zaizhi walked down slowly from the old cow's back, and said this unreasonable sentence.

After becoming a cabinet scholar, he also served as a first-rank official of Prince Shaofu.

The first emperor wanted him to be the future prime minister, so he was allowed to enter the East Palace to assist the prince, with a view to becoming a minister of the dragon in the future.

More than 20 years have passed.

The crown prince succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Chongming, but Jiang He was in decline.

"I've also heard Master Ouyang's Confucian classics..."

Commander Liu nodded slightly, dismounted to perform the salute to his disciples, and stood on the left and right to serve Ouyang Zaizhi.

The two are like a pair of master and apprentice.

The spring rain in February is as thin as a cow's hair, and I don't know when it will fall.

Two hundred steps ahead, there is a resting pavilion.

The two walked towards the resting pavilion one after the other.

Ouyang Zai holds the back hand in front, and Commander Liu holds the umbrella behind.

"Back then, when Xueshi Su left Beijing..."

"It's here too."

"I advised him."

"He held a piece of paper in his hand with an anti-poem written on it, and showed it to me. I read this poem, and after reading it, I decided to kill the person who wrote the anti-poem. stop me..."

"This anti-poem should fit the occasion."

Sitting on the stone bench, Ouyang Zai was holding the pen, but he hadn't written for a long time. He saw the rainwaterfall falling from the corner of the pavilion, and then he wrote.While writing, he read: "Look at the world, all thieves are robbed. The law of heaven is incomplete. Every man makes up for it. A good man, don't give up his parents, only for the sake of the common people and not the master, and kill all the officials before giving up. prisoner?"

"The strong man drinks the wine in the bowl, and he travels thousands of miles without turning back."

"The golden drums are roaring in unison, and the oath not to break the yellow dragon will never end."

After the word is finished, the pen stops.

He closed his eyes, and a few drops of old tears soaked the ink that had just dried up.

Commander Liu remained silent.

After a long time, he opened his mouth, "This poem is an anti-poem written by Xu Xing. My disciples have seen it and read it. However, in my eyes, he is just a prisoner. He can't get out of prison, and he can't transform into a dragon. Just a poor man who is still struggling..."

"But now he slapped you in the face!"

Ouyang Zaizhi opened his eyes, and he smiled, "After being released from prison, he will become the majestic Xingtian King. He is on the right path. The people of Kansai Province have long complained about the imperial court. He has entered the Kansai Road and is like a fish in water." , the gentry quickly supported him and gained a firm foothold..."

"At this moment, he also forced the old man to write a national policy for His Majesty."

He seemed to be mocking, but also pleased.

Xing Tianwang's anti-poetry has something to do with him.Back then, if he hadn't responded to Su Xueshi's plea and gave Xu Xing the privilege to use pen and ink in the sky prison, I am afraid that this anti-poetry would not come out as the times require.

"Lord Ouyang..."

"His Majesty is still waiting in the palace."

Seeing that the time was not long, Commander Liu didn't have the patience to wait anymore, so he reminded him.

Only important ministers like Ouyang Zaizhi can afford this scapegoat.

"No rush, no rush."

"The old man will grind the ink and write."

"As for this poem, I will give it to Commander Liu."

Ouyang Zaizhi rolled up the picture and handed it to Commander Liu.

"Thank you, Lord Ouyang."

Commander Liu was taken aback for a moment, and took the scroll.

Ouyang Shuda, the chief assistant of the cabinet, not only became the number one civil servant in the court, but also a famous writer in the literary world.His words are worth a thousand dollars.

There are countless people who seek Ouyang Shuda's calligraphy.

It's just that as a minister, Ouyang Shuda knew how to avoid taboos, and he seldom gave away calligraphy and paintings.

however--

Today, Commander Liu didn't want to accept this scroll.

It's not because after Ouyang Zaizhi lost his power and position, he left the tea and cold tea, and his family was lonely.But this picture is really too eye-catching, too dazzling, it is a hot potato.

Accept it, he collects anti-poetry, if Emperor Chongming finds out, he will be questioned.

If he doesn't accept it, if Xu Xing's army invades Shenjing in the future, he will not have this scroll... and his life may not be saved for a while.

Su Xueshi and Ouyang Zai are obsessed with Xingtian Wang Youen.

He understands this matter clearly.

"It seems..."

"Commander Liu is not a fool. What he thinks and what he sees are not bad."

Seeing this scene, the seasoned Ouyang Zaizhi instantly understood what Commander Liu was thinking.

He stroked his short beard and smiled.

"Green forest rebels, the court can be destroyed with a flick of a finger."

"But he is an official, he became a traitor, and he has achieved such a level, who would not be afraid of him."

Commander Liu took the scroll and shook his head with a wry smile.

As Emperor Chongming's milk brother, he knows Emperor Chongming's character clearly.With Emperor Chongming here, the possibility of the court's defeat is not small.

Everything needs to be prepared.

Before today's court meeting, his night patrol officer learned that many officials in Shenjing had secretly sent letters to Xu Xing.However, he did not stop the matter, nor did he report the matter to the emperor.

Because, most of the officials who sent the letter came from his party members.

Ally with him.

Just like Emperor Chongming wanted to kill a few corrupt officials to fill his treasury and internal funds.

But how to kill?

Can't kill at all!

Under his "conversion of black and white", honest and practical officials have become corrupt officials, and corrupt officials have been portrayed as honest officials.To kill clean officials is to continuously cultivate corrupt officials.

Of course, it is not wrong to kill these upright officials.

For example, Xing Tian Wang Xu Xing, he is also considered an upright official, but he was also greedy for some money and stood in line.

Corruption and bribery is the ticket to the top.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were only divided into big and small greed.
