Chapter 500: Spray someone to death

Just light the fire and the rest will be easy. How did the mine supervisor torment him back then? Now just take the medicine according to the prescription. Find a few typical areas, instigate the local gentry to send out servants and servants to instigate and instigate, lead the excited people to swarm over, burn down the factory, kill the people who run the factory, and let everyone live!

No matter how the factory was burned or how the workers died, what the local officials reported to the court and the emperor was that the factory was a civil commotion caused by all kinds of unreasonableness and tyranny. It was useless even if the emperor sent people to investigate. The local people and the government would all testify in unison.

Detailed investigation? How to check? Officials from other places could not even understand or speak the local dialect when they came, and could not communicate at all. In the end, they had to rely on the local gentry to complete their tasks. When the time comes, he can say whatever he wants. Even if the emperor understands in his heart, he can only swallow it with his teeth falling out.

But a word of madness was like a bolt from the blue, destroying all the efforts he had made before, including himself and his family. The person to blame at this time was not the emperor, nor the damn stalker, but himself.

Absolutely no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If he were killed directly in the house, wouldn't it mean that he would die without any evidence, and that he would be dead in one sentence? A second-rank official in the imperial court accidentally killed two slaves who were stealing things at home. Even if he brought trouble to the emperor, he would be fined a few months' salary at most.

"Uh... snore..." The more he thought about it, the angrier and angrier he became. His old face was red and his throat was cracking. Xu Honggang's eyes widened, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, twitching, and then lost his voice.

"Xu Yushi, Xu Yushi... Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu... Long live my lord, Xu Honggang was confused by phlegm and his pulse is weak. I'm afraid he may not be able to survive..."

At this moment, everyone in the room was in confusion. Weng Zhengchun, who was sitting next to Xu Honggang, hurriedly shook him, while Wang Chengen rushed over. He rolled his eyelids first, then listened to his heartbeat, and held his pulse at the same time. After a moment, he raised his head and rushed The emperor shook slightly.

"Carry it down and call the imperial doctor in a quarter of an hour. Don't blame me for being cruel. I am saving him and his family. If he doesn't die, all the members of the Xu family will be turned into slaves and will be forced to death. .

If a person is put to death and the crime disappears, and there are no more people committing the crime, I don’t plan to pursue it any further. Fortunately, this matter did not cause much impact. It just allows the candidates to take the exam with peace of mind and not to cause more troubles. What do you think? "

The emperor's next move was even more jaw-dropping than Xu Honggang's death on the spot. The dignified second-grade official fell down in the imperial meeting. It cannot be said that he was angry to death, but he didn't go far away. As a result, the emperor was stunned and said that he would not let the imperial doctor treat him first, and he would wait until the person was completely dead.

"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is benevolent, and it is hard for me and others to flatter you. Xu Yushi is old and frail, and things are unpredictable. Fortunately, your Majesty has taken care of you. The Xu family should be grateful!"

After the surprise, the great scholar Fang Congzhe took the lead in performing the bowing ceremony. After all the courtiers knelt down one after another, he offered words of praise on behalf of everyone present, including the Xu family.

It's not all false. Shen Yingwen and Gao Panlong must be sincere. One was involved in the planning and execution of the conspiracy, and the other was a fool who was so trusting that he was almost used as a gunman. If the emperor is not tolerant, it will definitely be deceiving the emperor without any injustice, and it is equally appropriate to add an evil intention.

No matter how different their political opinions are, no one wants to be killed as a rebel. Once someone is accused of this kind of crime, not only his family and his family will be lost, but his reputation will also be lost. No one will sympathize with him.

"I am not that kind. The participants must be punished. It is just for the sake of the overall situation that it should not be made public. Shen Yingwen is over seventy years old and it is time to take care of himself. He should donate half of his family property back to his place of origin to serve the people." Is the emperor kind? The identity of the king is still open to question, but he is definitely not the one who suffers. This must be certain. The reason why officials are not held accountable has nothing to do with tolerance. We just don’t want to create extraneous problems and add negative news to the New Deal.

But not convicting does not mean that there will be no punishment. All the officials involved on the list must voluntarily submit their resignations, donate half of their property, and then be deprived of their post-retirement benefits.

Don't think the punishment is too severe, just keep your mouth shut and only say that you made a mistake at work and deserved it. If someone thinks it's unfair and shows off, then everyone should be shameless. What to do is written in the Ming Law.

"I burst into tears with gratitude, long live long live, long live long live..." Shen Yingwen's mood at this time can only be described in four words, narrowly escaping from death. If his heart and brain were not still strong, he might have died along with Xu Honggang.

"I have the responsibility of inspection, and the crime cannot be forgiven!" Gao Panlong followed closely and confessed, taking off the black gauze with both hands, his face looking ashen.

When he unexpectedly took over the position of Minister of Dali Temple, he was prepared to die one day. It was obvious that the emperor did not want to let go of the Donglin lineage and planned to kill them all. But he didn't want to bear the name of bloodthirsty, so he deliberately put himself in a high position and waited for the pigtails to be grabbed.

But after several years of getting along, he discovered that there might be quite a bit of discrepancy with his previous ideas. The emperor indeed hated the factions in the DPRK, but he did not use the topic as an excuse to kill himself. On the contrary, he occasionally expressed his intention to amend the law and rectify the administration of officials.

Let’s ask who doesn’t want to make a difference when they become an official. Even corrupt officials will fantasize about becoming a capable minister from time to time while making money. If the emperor intends to rectify the government, he will be the first to support it with both hands and feet.

In the end, after a long time of preparation, this was the end result. Although he really didn’t participate in the riots, and he didn’t even know that someone was secretly fueling the trouble, what was the job of the Minister of Dali Temple? To join others in filing a petition to the emperor without knowing anything else is called serious dereliction of duty, or complicity, and cannot be defended.

"I do this just because I don't want to expand my influence and make people panic. In the past two years, with the joint efforts of me and everyone, the DPRK and China have just become more stable. If there is another big disturbance, wouldn't it be all in vain!
The sins of those who participated in the planning are unforgivable, and others should learn from them so that they can learn from this if they encounter such things in the future. Say no more, I have made up my mind. There are other things to discuss today. It's already late at night here, so hurry up. It's best not to stay up until dawn. "

After several years of observation, Hong Tao quite recognized Gao Panlong. It's not about work ability, it's about character. He basically meets the standards of a direct minister mentioned in history books. He has strict personal requirements, is neither corrupt nor afraid of death, and dares to put forward different opinions. Even if they have different ideas, they still belong to the category of having ideals and ambitions.

Having more of these officials would definitely be annoying, but it wouldn't do much harm. They will be like flies loving a dung heap, paying attention to every move of the king all the time, and will talk endlessly about anything that is inconsistent with their knowledge.

There are only two ways to silence them. The first is to kill them, and the second is to drive them away. But their existence is not a fly, but a mirror, allowing the king to see clearly how he looks and how many bowls of food he can eat at any time, thus avoiding arrogance and self-confidence to a certain extent.

It is not difficult to find a flatterer with beautiful words and gorgeous rhetoric, but it is not easy to find a person who offers opinions every day and reminds people of his heart every day. This kind of people were either swept away by the waves when they entered the official career, or they got tired of the king's complaints and scolded him, so they were chopped off with a knife. Not only can they not be driven away, but they must be reused. Rare things are more valuable.
