System, help me become the empress

Chapter 116

There is only one more month left before the Chinese New Year, and Xu Youxi has been very busy recently. In addition to a number of things to be finished before the end of the year, he also has to be responsible for reviewing the plans for the second year formulated by the officials.

"I asked them to make a plan, look at what is written here!" Xu Youxi was so angry that he wanted to smash the memorial.

Zhou Huixue shrank his neck and hid behind, not daring to make a sound.To be honest, he has also seen the plans of most of the officials, and there should be no problem with the content.

Concise writing, fluent language, excellent work!

"Look at this, it is planned that next year the country will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

"This is a plan to strive for every household in the world to have a surplus of food next year, and to raise peace with singing and dancing all over the world."

"Look at this again. This is against the background of the Dagan Mountains and Rivers. I hope that the people will not pick up the lost things on the road, and there will be no disputes among the people. The people will have enough food, live in a house, provide for the elderly, and educate the young."

The more Xu Youxi looked at it, the more angry he became: "I see that they are not making plans for themselves at all, they are clearly assigning targets for the next year to me, the emperor!!!"

"Tell me, wait a year later, take a look at the plans of these court officials, and ask each of them how much they have completed, and what caused the failure to complete."

"Those who have completed this summed up their experience and said that it is all good for His Majesty the Emperor; if this cannot be completed, do you have to say that there is something wrong with my being the Emperor? The key point is that I have no reason to refute him. You said that I hope that the country will be safe. , the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful through singing and dancing, which one is not my task!"

"..."

Zhou Huixue originally listened and felt that there was nothing wrong with these next year's plans, but thinking about it following His Majesty's thinking, he really couldn't look directly at these things.

"And their words seem to come from the same template, isn't it just that everyone changed a few words!" Xu Youxi suddenly had an epiphany, and looked suspiciously at Zhou Huixue, "Do you think they copied each other? of?"

Zhou Huixue echoed casually, thinking that he doesn't have to make plans for next year anyway, how could he understand this.

"By the way, Zhou Yuxue, what are your plans for next year? Show me." Xu Youxi began to reach out for things.

"...The minister is not yet finished." Zhou Yuxue wanted to cry, but why did His Majesty embarrass him as an eunuch?

"Then as soon as possible. Type all these batches back and rewrite. I see now that the things written by the prefect of Pingshun Prefecture are a bit interesting. His new year plan is that the sewers in Pingshun Prefecture will be completed before April, and the construction of the sewers in Pingshun Prefecture will be completed in the first half of June More than a few families can live in concrete houses, and by the end of next year, the harvest in Binh Shun Prefecture will be % higher than in previous years, and at the same time actively follow the new policy of the imperial court." Xu Youxi frowned, "Except for these contents, it is still mostly empty talk."

"Go back and rewrite."

Xu Youxi asked Zhou Yuxue to withdraw all the plans he had just read, and was about to start reviewing the memorial.

Xu Youxi didn't change it for a long time, and unexpectedly found a note from the Secretary of General Administration among a bunch of memorials.

The Dagan Tongzhengsi is similar to the Office of Complaints and Visits of later generations. If there are people who want to sue for impeachment, they will absolutely not be able to do without this institution.

Moreover, imperial certificates are not so easy to sue. Like in the costume dramas of later generations, the behavior of rushing up the emperor's motorcade with a piece of paper is tantamount to rushing to reincarnate.

The correct steps, first you have to come to the capital, and submit your pleadings to the Secretary of the General Administration, even if the Secretary of the General Administration is willing to accept your pleadings, he will send you tied up and sent to prison for a few days.

After this process is completed, your pleading paper may not have a chance to be sent to the emperor, and even if it is sent, the emperor may not even look at it.

Curious, Xu Youxi opened the memorial, and it was indeed the pleadings handed over by the Secretary of the General Administration—Dong Shangyi, the son of Dong Fu, a civilian businessman, sued Geng Feng, the governor of Han and Tibet, for disregarding human life, and hoped that His Majesty would vindicate his father's case.

"Governor of Han and Tibet Geng Feng?" Xu Youxi seemed to have heard this name before, "Zhou Yuxue, why do I feel that this name is familiar?"

Zhou Huixue bent down and reminded: "Your Majesty, Geng Feng is the prototype of the protagonist in the folk tale "Records of Honest Officials". When you went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace last time, the Queen Mother happened to be listening to this book."

Xu Youxi remembered: "Geng Feng is that upright official who divorced his wife in anger because he accepted bribes, and punished himself for a year of salary?"

"Yes."

"Did the Secretary of General Administration send the file over?" Xu Youxi asked with the paper in his hand.

"Give it away." Zhou Huixue gave a look, and the little eunuch who was waiting beside him immediately offered the file with both hands.

Xu Youxi finally understood the whole story of the case by comparing the dossier and pleadings.

This case is a long story. Dong Shangyi's father, Dong Fu, who came to sue the court, was a well-known local businessman.Although he has a lot of money, he is extremely stingy and stingy in his work, and the wages distributed to the clerks are pitifully small, and he often finds reasons to deduct money.

The cause of the case was that when a clerk was arguing with Deputy Dong, the two had quarrels and conflicts with hands and feet. As a result, the clerk suddenly fell to the ground and died due to ineffective medical treatment.

It is said that the wall collapses and everyone pushes it.

Something happened to Mr. Dong, a civilian businessman. The guys who had been bullied by him before stepped forward one after another, saying all kinds of things about him.But Deputy Dong didn't take it seriously, and even bribed the local magistrate to try to settle the matter. As a result, the public anger was aroused, and the matter became more and more troublesome, and finally even quarreled with the governor Geng Feng.

Governor Geng Feng's temper was straight and violent, and when he heard about this incident, he became even more furious and planned to punish Deputy Dong severely.Unexpectedly, Deputy Dong was not convinced, and threatened to go to the capital to sue the imperial court.Geng Feng remembered that the imperial court was also in a state of mutual protection by officials, how could it really give this scumbag a chance to be rehabilitated?

Dong Fu was directly killed on the charge of fighting and killing, and all his property was confiscated.

Dong Fu's only son, Dong Shangyi, had just rushed back from other places when he heard the news that his father had been executed, and was immediately distraught.Although Dong Shangyi does not approve of her father's usual behavior, she also believes that her father's crime is not worthy of death, and decides to go to Beijing to file an imperial lawsuit for redress.

But Geng Feng also felt that he had a clear conscience, and he didn't stop him at all, even in the capital.

"The body of the guy who died unexpectedly was incinerated very quickly. I made a preliminary judgment that he died of a sudden illness caused by emotional agitation. From this point of view, Deputy Dong did not intend to kill, and Geng Feng's judgment of the case is a blind judgment." Xu Youxi read the file repeatedly. After two or three times, I still think this case has been judged hastily, "Dong Shangyi is right, although Dong Fu is not a good character, but the crime is not worthy of death. Zhou Yuxue, do you think I should accept this case? "

"Your Majesty, Geng Feng, the Han-Tibetan governor, has a very high reputation among the people, and now the common people have the mentality of advocating honest officials. Even if Geng Feng did make a mistake, it will be difficult for you to deal with it fairly because of your speech."

Zhou Huixue felt from the bottom of his heart that this imperial certificate was definitely a difficult and thankless one!Anyway, the businessman Dong Fu is not a good guy, everyone is dead, so it's better to 'open one eye, close one eye'.

"It makes sense for you to say so." Xu Youxi sighed softly, "This Geng Feng will still give me a problem! But the imperial court has been brought before me, and I don't care about it. From now on, there will still be people who dare to sue the imperial court But if this matter is taken care of, what will be the result? Let Geng Feng pay for his life?"
