At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart. At the critical moment when the filial son succeeded in promoting filial piety, the news spread throughout the county immediately.

What a scandal.

Six years of filial piety, the child is four years old?

Whose child is yours?

Is this okay?

The news was exposed, and immediately, the public opinion field in the local county exploded, and then spread to the entire Chenliu County.

Facing the turbulent crowd, the prefect of Chenliu County couldn't bear the pressure and asked professionals to determine whether the age of the child in this person's family was really four years old.

Then a group of professionals determined through tooth age research that even if the child was over four years old, he would definitely not be over six years old. It can be concluded that this child was born during the filial piety of the eldest son.

If only the hostess hadn't cuckolded her husband.

Yes, in order to keep his official career, this dutiful son did not hesitate to slander his wife for having an affair with others.

These days, if a wife has an affair with another person, it is a felony, especially when it comes to such important matters as filial piety and integrity. If it violates the etiquette and law, if it goes wrong, it will be executed.

The wife looked at the filial husband in disbelief, and when she remembered the exciting things she had secretly done with him, she immediately felt desolate, and then asked for blood to confess her relatives to ensure her innocence.

In fact, there is no scientific reason to admit relatives by dripping blood, but people nowadays believe in this and think it is the best evidence, so Chenliu County Sheriff personally sits in the town to supervise in a fake manner.

Then, the innocence of the wife and the deception of the filial son were confirmed.

The eldest filial son saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he slumped on the ground with a panicked face, and all the family members were helpless.

Governor Chenliu quickly left here and went back to find a way——

He no longer wants to have any contact with this idiot. This idiot is as stupid as his family, and he might involve himself.

He now needs to think about how to keep his official position.

And the whole county exploded.

Then the news immediately spread uncontrollably to the surroundings, and soon spread throughout Yanzhou, and then spread rapidly towards Luoyang, which could not be stopped at all.

The main thing is that this matter is too sensitive.

Many people still remember that in the previous dynasty, the famous scholar Chen Fan was the county guard in Le'an County. At that time, there was a super dutiful son in Le'an County.

People usually keep their filial piety for three years, and those who are more filial and have bigger plans will go for another three years. Those who are really more ambitious, grit their teeth and fight hard, come for another three years, nine years, it's amazing, right?

This buddy has been guarding for 20 years.

20...

For 20 years, he ate bran and swallowed vegetables and slept on the ground with clods of soil. That is to say, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no concept of ascetic monks.

It's unbelievable, this filial piety has moved the world!

When Chen Fan learned of this, he was amazed and immediately went to see this filial son. After talking and chatting with him, he was deeply moved by his filial piety, and he wanted to uphold filial piety for him no matter what he said.

He wants to promote the righteousness of the world, and let the truly filial people severely shame those bastards in the capital.

Then Chen Fan operated fiercely like a tiger, and quickly settled the matter. As a result, a shocking scandal broke out——

During the 20 years of keeping his filial piety, this big dutiful son not only married a wife, but also took a concubine, and then secretly gave birth to five sons with his wives and concubines!

Who reported this matter, I don't know.

Whether Chen Fan knew about this beforehand or not, he didn't know.

No one knows whether Chen Fan has any relationship with the family behind this person.

Whether someone wants to use this dutiful son to mess with Chen Fan, of course no one knows.

Anyway, Chen Fan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately went to verify it, and then confirmed that it was true.

Chen Fan almost fainted on the spot.

Later, of course, Chen Fan severely punished that bastard who cheated the world, and he himself was not affected.

However, this matter has been passed down and is known to all. It has always been regarded as a joke, and it has become one of the few black spots of Chen Fan.

But Guo Peng is very clear that the incident that broke out is definitely not an isolated case.

Just like if you find a cockroach in your home, it means that this is definitely not the first cockroach.

One is two, and two is three.

Many things in the world are either zero or ten thousand, there is no difference.

chapter 1181 one thousand one ninety one

The inspection system has been in operation so far, and it has been completely controlled by the gentry and the powerful.

They say that whoever is filial will be filial, and whoever they say is clean will be clean.

Help each other, support each other's children, and become officials together.

This kind of thing is not clear to outsiders, but Guo, who has performed such a performance with one hand, knows it all too well.

Moreover, this incident did not come out before Ju Xiaolian, but because Xiaolian's list was all in Luoyang, and it was sent to someone Guo before it came out.

After Guo Peng learned of this, he was furious, and called all the officials of the Ministry of Rites, big and small, and lashed out at the boss in front of them.

"I trust you, so I entrust you with the qualifications of being filial, talented, virtuous, and upright. I have told you again and again that you must strictly control the gate. Pay attention, where did you notice?"

Guo Peng stared at the senior officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The senior officials of the Ministry of Rites headed by Xu Jing could only kneel down and plead guilty.

But this did not stop the emperor's anger.

"In the reign of Emperor Xiaoling of the former Han Dynasty, there was a nursery rhyme of Luoyang. Back then, when Gu was a student of the imperial court, he heard such nursery rhymes. Mud, Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken.

Gu was young at the time, so he laughed it off, and didn't really understand the meaning behind these words, and how such things were passed on as nursery rhymes. Now it seems that such nursery rhymes are definitely not groundless! "

Guo Peng slapped the table in annoyance: "Selecting talents for the country, unexpectedly selected an unfaithful and unfilial bastard! In order to get rid of the crime, he did not hesitate to slander his wife for having an affair with others! How can such a morally corrupt person be proclaimed?" For Xiaolian!

absurd!absurd!Absurd!In order to keep himself, he can even slander his wife!If all my Wei officials are like this kind of person, in a few years, Gu will be the king of subjugation!Are you all looking forward to being the king of subjugation alone?ah? "

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were terrified. They touched their heads to the ground one after another, expressing their daring, and begging the emperor to appease his anger.

But how could the emperor's anger be extinguished so easily?

What's more, Mr. Guo didn't want to extinguish his anger like this at all.

He wished to make this matter a big mess, so that it would be convenient for his next series of operations.

"Get out! Let Gu investigate! This year, last year, and the year before! Since Gu ascended the throne, all the inspectors who come up to the throne will be investigated one by one! Thoroughly investigate! The investigation is innocent! A little bit Dirty things are not allowed to be kept! Let Gu go to investigate! If they are found out, Gu will have their heads thrown to the ground!!"

Guo Peng raised the tea bowl and threw it on the ground hard. With a bang, the tea bowl was smashed to pieces.

"roll!!"

The emperor's roar terrified everyone around him.

These officials from the Ministry of Rituals turned pale with fright, and they were almost incontinent.

"The minister obeys the order!!"

Xu Jing got up from the ground with a pale complexion, and took the lead to run outside.

Then a group of officials from the Ministry of Rituals followed closely behind, and fled out of the side hall of Fengtian Temple.

A few officials from the Ministry of Rituals accidentally fell down the steps of the palace because their legs were weak because they were frightened. They rolled all the way down and fell unconscious on His Highness. One even scratched his forehead and bled, very embarrassed .

At this moment, it has been a long time since the last time he got angry, and some people have almost forgotten what Guo looks like when he is angry.

But someone Guo was furious, and as soon as the news of the high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Rites being expelled from the palace came out, some officials couldn't help but look tense, and then some bad memories came to their hearts in an instant.

Every time Guo gets angry, it means that a group of people will be unlucky.

No matter who it is, once it hits someone Guo's gun, the end will be ugly.

While the pale-faced Xu Jing convened a thorough investigation meeting overnight, Guo Peng, in order to further promote the tense atmosphere, dismissed Chenliu's official post, drove him back to his hometown to farm, and issued an imperial edict to all government offices.

A decree with punctuation.

[Since I was enthroned by Chan, I have been conscientious and conscientious in dealing with state affairs, diligent and conscientious, and dare not be negligent, lest I have to bear the heavy responsibility of the world. I have not slept when all the bureaucrats have slept, and I have risen before the bureaucrats have risen. I am so harsh on myself. .

But even though I am so harsh on myself and handle state affairs so hard, I cannot handle all state affairs. I need talented and talented people to share my worries and solve my problems. It has become a bad case!

Dutiful sons are not filial, honest officials are not honest, cold and pure are white and muddy, and Gao Diliang is as timid as a chicken. I often think this is an old story in the former Han Dynasty, but who would have thought that such a scandal would happen in front of me and hit me in the face!I am heartbroken!I am in great pain!

The act of selecting materials for the country has turned into a dirty place where filth is hidden. How can I bear it?The Ministry of Rites will return all the places obtained in this year's probation to their original places, and send people to investigate the academic performance and moral character of those who have been prosecuted since I ascended the throne. 】

The imperial decree was originally written by Guo Peng himself. After it was sent to the cabinet, cabinet officials were responsible for copying several copies, and then issued it to specific departments.

This time, Guo Peng's imperial decree was to be issued to the entire imperial court, and no one was allowed to be ignorant of this matter.

So soon, all the officials knew about it.

This matter has exploded.

This is not aimed at the people who were prosecuted this year. If it was only the people who were prosecuted this year, it would be better to say that it would not make everyone so panic-stricken.

The point is that the people the emperor wants to clean up are all the people who have been prosecuted since he came to the throne.

It has been five years since the emperor came to the throne and the people who have been prosecuted have been counted from the second year of Yande.

Among the officials who have been prosecuted over the years, there are those who have poor official luck and only become small officials like sesame mung beans, some who are directly in charge of the Central Book Office, and some who are county magistrates or even county guards.

It involves a lot of people and involves a lot of people. This wave is definitely an expanded blow, very like the emperor.

In this regard, many people realized in an instant—the expected political turmoil came again.

The political turmoil caused by His Majesty the Emperor may be late, but he will definitely not be absent.

Speaking of which, the emperor was so annoyed this time, and in the eyes of many people, he made a fuss over a molehill.

It is very normal for the procuratorate to become a tool for the local gentry and powerful tyrants to divide up political interests. Whether you are promoted or not depends mainly on your origin.

The height of birth determines the height of life.

If you come from a good background, naturally some people will recommend you to the imperial court. If your background is not enough, then you have to find another way, try your luck, or do some showy operations to attract attention.

A certain Guo kicked Xu Shao and Chiu Bingyu back then because his status in the scholar group was too low, he was a crane tail, and he had to do something to increase his reputation so that he could be noticed and invested .

Now, those people are actually the same.

So someone Guo understands them very well.

But time has passed, the position of the buttocks is different, and the head is also different. Mr. Guo can no longer tolerate the existence of such things.

In addition, he has always had double standards, only allowing himself to do such a thing, not allowing others to do such a thing, and it is also necessary to crack down on the prosecution system, so he decided to blast.

Anyway, there are a lot of black spots in the prosecution system, and as long as they are investigated, they will be found out, and there will be absolutely no problems.

In order to ensure that these things can be fully investigated and that no fish slips through the net, Guo Peng mobilized officials from the Third Division, the Ministry of Rites, the Cabinet, and the eunuchs from the inner court.

Chapter 1182 One Thousand 190 Two A Group of "Deceitful and Famous" Generations Surfaced

In this operation, for the first time, someone Guo used eunuchs from the inner court to join in.

The eunuchs of the inner court are in charge of supervision, and are responsible for supervising whether these officials will protect each other. They take the emperor's order and come to the place on behalf of the emperor to supervise everyone.

Someone Guo finally started to release the power of the eunuch.

Before that, he had always used eunuchs as his tools to collect money, and used eunuchs to collect money everywhere. Even the existence of Megatron, Dongchang, really became a factory.

But from this moment on, someone Guo wants to extend the tentacles of his power to more places, so letting the eunuch go out to handle affairs on behalf of the emperor's authority is the only choice.

Maybe it's been a long time since I felt the eunuch's disorderly government, or maybe it's because Yuan Shu killed all the eunuchs in one go, which caused heavy losses to the eunuch group, so that Guo had to spend all his time training eunuchs.

Now that it's finally cultivated, it's time to use it.

Eunuchs are the extension and symbol of imperial power. With this group of eunuchs following them, Mr. Guo is not afraid that they will not be able to do something.

In fact, as soon as this order was announced, many people raised objections.

They were alarmed that this was a harbinger of the emperor's resumption of the eunuch's intervention in politics, so they wrote a large number of letters to dissuade them, and even forgot to seriously think about what Guo's goal was.
