System, help me become the empress

Chapter 119 Morbid Worship of Upright Officials
Xu Youxi never expected that Geng Feng would burn the life-long hard work of an old Tibetan doctor who had saved countless lives.

Seeing Ruan Yuzuo kicking and kicking Geng Feng recklessly, sometimes with fists and sometimes with kicks, several military officers couldn't hold him back at the same time.

Even Xie Xixi, who was sitting in the distance, was terrified: "Why is the morning so scary, and there are fights? When I get back, I have to prepare soft armor for you and Youxi for self-defense. It's too dangerous."

Emperor Chongjiu swallowed his saliva, and he seemed to be hated: "That... I have to prepare a soft armor quickly."

"...As for Youxi, I think it would be enough to prepare more teapots." Emperor Chongjiu said while secretly observing Hui Ruan's face, carefully remembering that this person is very fierce and should not be messed with.

Geng Feng wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth vigorously, his eyes were full of viciousness: "You are a small gangster, and you dare to beat the imperial court official!"

"What's the noise!"

Xu Youxi couldn't take it anymore, but he didn't continue to smash the glass.

She can't be so prodigal, what kind of family does she have to be in order to smash two teacups a day!

"Ruan Yuzuo, disrespect in front of the hall is a felony. As a teacher, you still act so recklessly, how do you let me entrust you with the important task of promoting the 'New Medical Pavilion' in the future!"

"And you, as an official, should work for the well-being of the people. Geng Feng, if you can't even do this, you might as well go home and start farming."

"As for you, with so many military officers, you can't even hold back an ordinary person. Once something happens, you can't rely on any of them!"

"Now I know how to keep silent, why don't you continue to discuss! Just laughing and watching the fun, pointing, why don't you laugh! How funny, isn't my big court the biggest joke! You work hard , let's try to change the name of 'Taihe Hall' to 'Taihe Street' as soon as possible!"

Xu Youxi was full of yin and yang, completely indiscriminate, and put all civil and military officials together to scold them collectively, so as to prevent these people from developing a bad habit of fighting in the hall in the future.

The officials below were so frightened that no one dared to speak.

"Chen Shangshu, according to the law of Dagan, what crime should deputy Dong of the civilian businessman be sentenced to?"

Chen Huishi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, worshiped lightly: "Dong Fu, a civil businessman, had a quarrel with his buddy, which accidentally caused the other party's sudden death. He should be sentenced to three to 15 years in prison. If the other party's family members can be forgiven, the sentence can be reduced appropriately. He attempted to bribe the government, but the influence Hell, he should be fined ten times the amount of the bribe and serve five to ten years in prison."

"Your Majesty, even if the case is judged according to the heaviest punishment, Deputy Dong will not be sentenced to death." Chen Huishi quickly came to a conclusion.

"Gengfeng, can you object to Chen Shangshu's verdict?" Xu Youxi continued to ask.

Geng Feng mocked lightly: "Your Majesty insists, but I don't regret it either."

"I admit that you, Geng Feng, are an upright official. You have never been bribed, and you have never been afraid of power." Xu Youxi stood up from the chair with a steady voice.

"But you, Geng Feng, are not worthy of the word "good official". If you don't accept bribes, you can do nothing wrong, right? You can use your own guesses, decide cases at will, and regard deciding the life and death of others as a trifling matter. You Doing this will put the court where it is, and where it will put the law!"

Xu Youxi's eyes swept over the group of officials: "Since when did not accepting bribes become something worth showing off, and it should be your duty to be an official!"

"Today's trend of blindly advocating honest and upright officials among the general public is pathological! To be an official is clean, the first and the most basic. The people should worship officials who can do practical things and bring the people's lives to a better level!"

"Who doesn't want to have surplus food for the family, who doesn't want to be healed, who doesn't want the mountains and rivers to be safe, and the world to be prosperous and peaceful! As the court officials, do you take these as your own responsibilities! Why does the guy die suddenly? Isn't it because The family is poor and can't afford the medicine, isn't it because of staying up all night to take care of my mother, so I can't rest normally!"

"If the dead man still has enough energy, he doesn't need to worry about medical expenses at all, and he can hire someone to take care of his mother, all these tragedies will never happen. Since you, Geng Feng, are the governor of Shu, why don't you take the initiative? Help the local poor get rich!"

"How can wealth be determined by human effort? It's simply nonsense!" Geng Feng looked at Xu Youxi, as if he felt that she was ridiculous.

"Nonsense? That's because you not only can't do it yourself, but also think that no one can do it!" Xu Youxi's words hit the nail on the head.

Geng Feng stared deeply at Xu Youxi, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute.

"It is my oral order that the governor of Sichuan and Tibet, Geng Feng, will step down from his post. From now on, Mo Shiqi, the political envoy of Shu, will supervise both Shu and Tibet. Li Shangyun, escort Geng Feng back to Dali Temple, and liquidate him as soon as possible."

"Dong Shangyi, I recognize your filial piety in rehabilitating your biological father, but your father is not innocent. This case will be re-determined by Minister of Criminal Affairs Chen Huishi. Are you convinced?"

"Your Majesty is wise, the grass people are convinced! The grass people are convinced!" Dong Shangyi kept kowtow gratefully.

Before the ministers could react, Du Zhiyi was the first to kneel down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Although the rest of the officials were a step slower, they had to follow Du Shangshu's example and knelt down, shouting "Your Majesty is wise" in unison.

#
The next day.

"Ganbao" officially published the original story of the "Gengfeng Case", as well as the reactions and dialogues of the hundreds of officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Its title quotes a line from the Tao Te Ching: Great good is great evil.

The content of the article is roughly like this:
Dirty officials are hateful, everyone knows it, clean officials are especially hateful, and no one knows it, if it is small, it will mislead people, but if it is large, it will harm the country.

For example, Gengfeng judged the case based on subjective speculation, ignored the evidence, and wronged many good people; the Tibetan medical books he burned were the painstaking efforts of several generations of Tibetan doctors, and there were even successful cases of ancestors who dissected the skull and took arrows, but now these precious materials are buried in the sea of ​​fire , turned into a handful of dust, what a shame!

Liu Jiye appealed in the article that the people should not blindly worship upright officials.Being an honest and honest official should be the most basic essence of an official, and all officials must be honest and honest officials!

The word "honest official" is used as an excuse by some officials for their own self-willedness, but it is extremely ridiculous. The real worthy of people's admiration should be some "good officials" who do practical things for the people!
Liu Jiye is very smart and knows how to subtly help Xu Youxi spread the pressure of public opinion.

In addition to satirizing "an upright official Gengfeng", the article also introduces the deeds of Xiahubu Shangshu Du Zhiyi by the way.

Mr. Du is also one of the well-known upright officials among the people. He never mentions the word "upright official".But as long as there is a natural disaster and epidemic among the people, he will always rush to the most dangerous place and tide over the difficulties with the people.

For another example, when the Emperor Tianyou of the dynasty was still a princess when she was a child, she had already fought corruption in the south of the Yangtze River and rescued innocent women;
One and a half years ago, the plague in Jingzhou was caused by the empress who took the risk of herself and vowed to share the suffering with the people, and even the heaven and the earth were moved by it;
At the beginning of this year, foreign races invaded Shangjing, and the empress was ordered to defend the Dagan Mountains and Rivers at the risk of her life;

A few months ago, there were continuous natural disasters in Dagan. It was the empress who built the Shengong Bureau, made cement, introduced sweet potatoes and potatoes, and rescued the refugees from all over the world.

So whether you should worship the upright official Geng Feng written in the storybook, or follow the empress who cares about the common people, I believe everyone should judge in their own hearts!
