  Chapter 796 Conceited

   "There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. I don't know if Mr. Gu has ever calculated how many women are waiting to give birth during the national funeral?"

  Seeing that Gu Lei remained silent, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to go on and say:

"The first emperor mourned the death of the whole country. It was said that those who can be a benevolent emperor must love the people like a son. The first emperor died in his prime, but unfortunately died young. Even he himself couldn't bear to see someone die innocently because of his death, so he awarded the The purpose of the three-day mourning period is to save these innocent lives,

As early as the early years of the Kai Dynasty, there were amendments to the country's funeral and termination of pregnancy. In the Chonghua Dynasty, it was made public to the world in the form of laws, and flexible regulations were made on the mourning period. The clothes are released for three days, and it is not forbidden to take wives, marry daughters, sacrifices, drink alcohol, and eat meat. Neither the palace nor the officials and people of Langzhou have given birth to the mourning period. Yu De, Mr. Gu just had the heart to watch thousands of lives die during the national mourning period? "

  Gu Lei's complexion changed drastically upon hearing the well-founded words, and shame gradually appeared on his calm face.

   "Since the national mourning stops pregnancy without giving birth, what right does Mr. Gu have to deprive those women in labor of their right to conceive life?"

  Chu Nanzhi stood up slowly, walked towards Gu Lei, who was deep in thought, step by step, and said unhurriedly:

"The rise and fall of dynasties has its own destiny, but the progress of civilization has never stopped. If it was mentioned in the previous dynasty, it would not be wrong to think about people's sacrifices, but it would not be wrong to think about it a hundred years later. Would you like to see your relatives buried with you?"

Hearing this, Gu Lei thought about it and nodded slightly, knelt down devoutly and kowtowed: "The grass people are ignorant. They never thought that they would cause the Langzhou city to suffer catastrophe because of a few superficial opinions. Please punish the queen. Cao people wish Apologize with death."

   "Mr. Gu please stand up."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled and motioned him to get up, but at this moment his heart was full of doubts.

  This little old man behaved aboveboard in every way, and he didn't look like a sinister and cunning person.

  He can even show his disrespect to himself nakedly on the surface, and he must be disdainful to use such tricks that secretly harm others.

   Furthermore, being able to enter Chang Lao's eyes, she felt from the bottom of her heart that this little old man should not be a villain.

With a skeptical attitude, she walked back to the desk and sat down, and then ordered Tang Weiming to give Gu Lei a seat, and then continued: "I said that I invited Mr. Gu here today for no other reason. Narrative."

   "The queen doesn't have to test the grassroots."

Gu Lei was finally willing to sit down, and replied calmly: "The six members of Qian's family died in an accident. The grassroots have also heard about it today. The grassroots are deeply saddened by this. Judging from the current situation, some people suspect that the old man killed her family. It's reasonable, but the old man's life is considered upright, he can be killed but not humiliated, if he offends the queen, he will lead her to death without any complaints, but it's absolutely impossible for the old man to admit to this trumped-up crime."

   After finishing speaking, the old eyes stared at Zhan He deeply.

   "I am deeply grateful to Gu Lao for being able to confide in Ben Gong, and I also firmly believe that Gu Lao will never do such evil things that destroy conscience."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled and comforted her.

  At this moment, she can roughly conclude that the deaths of Chang Lao and Qian's family are inseparable from the reform of the official system.

   As for whether the old man in front of him is related to the two cases, it is easy to find out.

After thinking about it for a moment, in front of the county magistrate and county magistrate, Chu Nanzhi looked at Gu Lei deeply, and said in a solemn voice: "But since I was entrusted by the new emperor to reform the government system in Langzhou, this Strange things happened in Langzhou City, and I have to suspect that the two murders are closely related to this, I wonder what Elder Gu thinks about this?"

Thinking of Chang Yanjue's death, Gu Lei felt deeply regretful, and sighed sincerely: "Old Chang devoted his whole life to the country and the people, he is the person I respect most in his life, but it's a pity that before he can meet Chang Lao, he encounters Unexpectedly, the old man is really sad."

   But thinking about the reform of the official system, Gu Lei felt worried.

   And this is also an important reason why he has never gone to the Changfu to express his condolences.

After pondering for a while, he also truthfully stated the concerns in his heart: "Although the old man also thinks there are many merits in the policy of reforming the official system proposed by the queen, the current situation is difficult and it is not the time for drastic reforms. The war still depends on the rich and noble families, and the stability of various places also needs to be maintained by those great families."

   "Old Gu's words are wrong."

Chu Nanzhi shook his head disapprovingly and said: "There is an old saying that water can carry a boat and overturn it. To achieve the prosperity and peace of the empire, it does not rely on the strength of a few noble families, but the joint efforts of the people of the country. Nowadays, the major gentry control the way of raising officials and employing people, so that those who want to serve the court have no way to enter the court, while those in office only want to fill their own pockets, who will be willing to be loyal to the country if this continues?"

"That's just because my dynasty has been poisoned by party disputes over the years, which has caused such chaos in the court. If we can maintain the measures of the early years of the dynasty and appoint Zhongzheng and virtuous people to strictly select and recommend officials, why not worry about them? Do your best to serve your country.”

  When it comes to the recommended officials, this is also the thing Gu Lei is most proud of in his life.

  Although he was not as powerful as Chang Yanjue in the court, the scholars who can be recommended are now all over the court and the public, and he seems to have become the mainstay of the court.

Stroking his beard with satisfaction on his face, Gu Lei proudly boasted: "Although the people I have promoted in my life are not great sages, I can definitely guarantee that the current officials are all loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous. Yeye has never had any incompetent officials who neglected their duties and even oppressed and exploited the people."

Hearing this, Tong County Wei quickly echoed with a smile: "This is a point that I think deeply. Gu Lao has recommended countless scholars in his life, but most of the officials in Langzhou City have been supported by Gu Lao. In order to repay Gu Lao's kindness, they have been working hard these years, and this is why my Langzhou has flourished in these years.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the new Chang Shi lord Zhang Xuan. He has been the governor of Puzhuo County for five years, and he has managed the county in an orderly manner. Exemplary. "

  Chu Nanzhi has also heard about Zhang Xuan, the new governor of the state capital, and his reputation is indeed good.

  However, regarding Gu Lei's remarks, her summary of this person, although she has some talents and prestige, most of them make her feel very conceited.

  Such a conceited person would disdain to use insidious tricks to murder the lives of such insignificant people as the six members of the Qian family.

  So at this moment, Chu Nan Zhizi's suspicion of him is getting weaker and weaker, but Chu Nan Zhi is already sure about the way to break him.
