This kind of rubbish article has nothing to do with its appearance. If I ask this young master to write it, it will be an insult to this young master.

Gao Shilian asked: "Then why are you talking nonsense here? Do you want to deceive His Majesty, can you deceive everyone?"

Du He smiled slightly: "My lord Gao, please be safe and don't be impatient. This memorial is well written, but it doesn't mean that there is no problem with the requested matter. It just so happens that the biggest problem with this memorial lies in the fact that there is a problem with what is written. Qiu Wanjia, the county magistrate of Hu County, was originally a bastard, but now he is portrayed as a parent official who loves the people like a son. I don’t know if this is the tragedy of the officials, or the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty. It’s a pity, a pity..."

"Bold!"

"Du He, stop talking nonsense!"

"The dead are the greatest. Although Qiu Wanjia is only a small county magistrate, he loved the people like a son and made extraordinary achievements. How can you be a gentleman to slander him like this after his death!"

Immediately, someone accused Du He.

Even Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others felt that Du He's words were a little too much.

Li Er also frowned.

This kid, do you want to use this method to anger me and let me drive him out?Think beautifully.

Du He picked up the memorial, walked up to Gao Shilian and the others, and asked, "Everyone, don't you really think there is something wrong with this?"

"What's the problem?"

"No problem with me!"

Everyone you ask me to answer.

Du He laughed, thinking to himself, what the hell are these officials.

He asked: "Well, let me ask you, in your opinion, what is Qiu Wanjia's character? What is his ability?"

Gao Shilian said directly: "My old man heard from the officials of the Ministry of Officials that Qiu Wanjia is a rare and good official. Once he serves as an official, he benefits one side. Everyone in the court praises him and has a great reputation!"

"Yes, although Qiu Wanjia is a small county magistrate, I have heard about his deeds."

"Such a rare county magistrate is rare!"

Everyone said something to each other, but they wanted to praise Qiu Wanjia to the sky.

The more Du He listened, the more he found it funny: "Everyone, how high is Qiu Wanjia's official position?"

Gao Shilian thought for a while, and said: "Hu County belongs to Jingzhao Prefecture, but it is Ji County, and the county magistrate is Zheng Liupin."

Du He asked again: "Qiu Wanjia has been the magistrate of Hu County since the fourth year of Wude, and he is on the sixth rank, but more than ten years have passed, why has he stopped and stayed in Hu County, and was selected according to the Tang Dynasty? The standard of talents, a good official like Qiu Wanjia, with good character and strong ability, even if he does not enter the court as an official, he will not stay in Hu County all the time, and he must be transferred to the state capital to take up an important position. Why?"

Gao Shilian and the others were stunned.

That's right, such an outstanding talent has been serving as a small county magistrate.

This... can't be justified.

"Gao Aiqing, what Du He said is somewhat reasonable. You can call a county magistrate of Ji County by name, but this county magistrate has been serving as magistrate for more than ten years. What do you say?" gradually confused.

Gao Shilian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a mistake made by the officials. I will investigate thoroughly when I return."

"Lord Gao, there is no need to investigate thoroughly. Let me tell you the reason. The reason is that Qiu Wanjia's so-called good reputation, good moral character, and strong ability are all problematic...as long as he leaves Hu County, the problem will be exposed. Therefore, he can't leave and can only be the magistrate here for the rest of his life. As for the reasons, you adults can guess for yourself. I'm afraid that among them, there are only things that you can't think of, and there is nothing that Qiu Wanjia can't do..." Du He said lightly.

When everyone heard it, they were all stunned.

It's not impossible.

Those who satirized Du He just now stopped talking.

Li Er's frowning brows relaxed.

But Du He knew that these few words were not enough to impress Li Er.

He continued to point to the memorial and said: "Everyone, please look at this memorial. It is clearly written. On April [-]th, Qiu Wanjia went out of the city to visit the people. He encountered heavy rain, the road was slippery, and the carriage overturned... Well, all this happened." It's very logical, it's normal for a car to overturn, but on April [-]th, that is, five years ago, do you remember that there was a heavy rain in Chang'an in the past half month?"

"Never!" Wei Zheng said.

Qin Qiong said: "The weather has been very good in the past half month. In my impression, it seems that it has never rained."

"That's right," Du He said with a smile, "It's not raining in Chang'an, not to mention raining, even if there is not a single dark cloud, and Hu County is only a few tens of miles away from Chang'an, why is there a heavy rain?"

What?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone is stupid.

That's right, Du He is now at the point.

I just heard Du He say: "It didn't rain in Chang'an, so why was there a heavy rain in Hu County? There was no heavy rain, why did the car overturn? Why was Qiu Wanjia's death so righteous? Why did all the officials praise Qiu Wanjia? Is all this a loss of morality, or a distortion of human nature? I’m afraid there’s a lot behind it?”

On the side, Chen Shuda, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, carefully pondered Du He's words.

Why are these words so familiar?

Suddenly, he remembered.

"Ah, Du He, I'm going to kill you!" Chen Shuda cursed inwardly.

After a while, there was a voice that said slowly; "Perhaps, it's the county magistrate of Huyi. You remember wrongly. What if it really rains on the [-]th?"

Du He laughed: "If it's raining, you can check it."

Li Er nodded and ordered: "Zhao Yang, go to Guanglu Temple to check."

Guanglu Temple: Administers the four departments of Taiguan, Zhenjiao, Liangying, and Zhangying. It is used to provide meals for suburban sacrifices and court banquets. It also manages matters such as praying for rain and recording rain.

……

Chapter 654 Shameless

Not long after, Zhao Yang came back and brought an official from Guanglu Temple and the rain records of Jingzhao Mansion in the past month.

The official was old and stooped, he opened the booklet in fear, and finally said: "Your Majesty, it hasn't rained in Jingzhao Mansion for half a month!"

Gao Shilian was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "Can you see clearly, didn't it rain on April [-]?"

The official quickly turned to the eighteenth.

Then he said: "No, on April [-]th, the sun is shining brightly, and the night is full of moonlight!"

Quiet!
