I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Gu Yuanbai handled the affairs of Yushi Zhongcheng and King Qi very quickly, and even those magistrates who were brave enough to conceal the news and not report it were charged with corruption and collusion with the capital before they even arrived in the capital.

It should be said that they were charged with this crime in the first place, but Chu Xun did not meet Gu Yuanbai's expectations. He was frightened by those several life-threatening crises, and did not dare to find out the evidence of these people's corruption. Bai had to do it himself.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are in the Shandong and Henan areas. These corrupt officials dared to embezzle the emperor's disaster relief money to build river channels. What's more, the large granaries, meat warehouses, weapon warehouses and other savings in various places have been messed up by these moths. Sample.

As soon as these local officials were sent to the capital, they were directly sent to the dungeon by Gu Yuanbai.

There is not a lot of evidence about them in his hand, and these things have been sent to relevant agencies for Dali Temple to interrogate them one by one.Find out how much people's fat and people's ointment they have eaten in their mouths and how much they have accepted bribes, one by one.As for other people who colluded with these officials, people who are deeper, he only checked a little bit.

To scare these people who hide in the depths, give them a chance to return these corrupted things to him.

Gu Yuanbai doesn't need to know how many moths there are in the whole country, he only needs these moths to secretly spit out what they eat, as long as they spit it out before he finds out, before anti-corruption, Gu Yuanbai can turn a blind eye one eye.

Clean the Yushitai first, and throw all the corrupt ones with criminal records to Dali Temple, and keep the clean ones, and then a new batch of people will go in.Chu Wei has the shaft strength and arrogance of the censor, so he also put him in it to grind his temper.

And Chu Xun is also going to be promoted.

And those who dared to speak for the King of Qi in the early court, they will be transferred from the capital to other places, and their identities as capital officials will be erased to make up for these gaps, and then they will start to undertake the anti-corruption actions from the Holy Majesty.

Don't you dare to take money from your clan to speak for your clan?

Then you get out of the center of political power forever.

As soon as the affairs were dealt with, the people in the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council were so busy that they were dizzy, and no one dared to breathe loudly in the whole court.Gu Yuanbai's working hours also increased greatly, and when he came to his senses, it happened to be the day when Yu Shi Zhongcheng was ransacked and exiled.

On this day, Gu Yuanbai left all government affairs behind, took his bodyguard Xue Yuan and others with him, and went out of the palace in micro-clothes to see Yushi Zhongcheng's exile scene.

Among the long line of people in extreme embarrassment, Yu Shi Zhongcheng was at the forefront. His face was haggard, his eyes were empty, and he had no hope of life.

His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and he was wearing prison clothes.

The people standing on both sides yelled at these people, and threw rotten vegetables and leaves at the notorious people. Their faces were full of joy and resentment.

"It's this guy who guards himself and steals himself! It's him who corrupts and colludes with local officials and common people!"

"It's too bad! It's a cowardly official!"

Yushi Zhongcheng... No, Feng Chengzhi, who is no longer Yushi Zhongcheng, listened to the abuse all the way, and suddenly felt that it was not because of the kindness of the Holy Majesty that the Holy Majesty charged him with corruption, prevented him from dying, and allowed him to be in the current situation.

The Holy One is not so merciful.

This is simply life is worse than death.

Feng Chengzhi looked up at the restaurants and teahouses on both sides, and at the people who looked at him with disgust. They threw rotten vegetables and leaves in their hands, and their disgusted and disgusted eyes seemed to be looking at some heinous bastard.

Really bastard...

Feng Chengzhi spent more than ten years at Yushitai before taking the position of Yushitai Zhongcheng. He naturally knew how serious the consequences would be if he was an official of Yushitai.

He also rarely accepts gifts, because once he finds out, he will be spurned by thousands of people, which is even more disgusting than ordinary official corruption.

And he really wasn't corrupt.

But the Holy One said yes, and he himself said yes, then he is a sinner through the ages.

A few years ago, the street where he was listed as a boasting official on the gold list has now become a place where he is ridiculed by others.At that time, the people on the street and the students who failed the exam looked at him with envy and jealousy, but now they have become disgusted and gloating.

Gu Yuanbai was dressed in ordinary clothes, and hid low-key among the crowd, looking at the group of criminals and their families who were cast aside by all people.

In this group of people, there are weak and innocent women, and young and poor children. They are either in tears or restless and ignorant. What awaits them is a future like a nightmare.In ancient times, crimes, especially mortal crimes, were based on the family.

The greater the opportunity, the higher the price to pay, but there are always people who think that they can get what they want without paying.

Gu Yuanbai felt that he was quite ruthless.

At this time, he looked at these innocent people who were implicated, and he felt only regret and pity in his heart. Looking at Yu Shi Zhongcheng who was cursed by the people, he felt very peaceful.

There is always a price to be paid for doing something wrong. Since Yu Shi Zhongcheng is on King Qi's boat, he must be prepared to be overturned by Gu Yuanbai.

Surrounded by not only common people of Li and common people, but also impassioned scholars, they yelled at the corrupt and perverted Yushi Zhongcheng, the veins on their necks appeared ferociously, and they blushed when they questioned him.

Some people wrote poems to ridicule on the spot. As soon as the doggerel was written, the people around applauded and applauded.

This is reality, and over time, this becomes history.

Gu Yuanbai turned around when Censor Zhongcheng was taken far away, and the people around him protected him out of the crowd. As soon as the dense crowd left, the air became better.

There were also many scholars in Confucian robes standing scattered outside, and the sun was shining at noon. Gu Yuanbai looked at the teahouses on both sides and said, "Let's go, find a cool place first."

Even under the sun, Gu Yuanbai's face was still fair, and the slight sweat on his forehead was as clean as beads.The bundled long hair slid from the shoulders to the front of the body, looking very cool.

Xue Yuan was so hot that he pulled at his neckline, and there were two hideous wounds on his neck from being bitten.Tian Fusheng was beside him, and he smiled when he saw the injury: "Guard Xue, this injury should be quite painful, right?"

That day Xue Yuan carried Sheng back to the palace with his neck bloodied, because the blood was all over, and no one saw what kind of wound it was.Seeing it now, let alone thinking about that day.

Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows, glanced across Sheng Shang's body from the corner of his eye, touched the wound, and said meaningfully: "It hurts, the bite is very sharp."

Tian Fusheng smiled again, winking his eyebrows, "I don't see Mr. Xue getting angry with such sharp teeth."

"Why are you angry?" Xue Yuan asked, seemingly genuinely or falsely, "You have a very bad temper."

Gu Yuanbai turned his head and glanced at them, "What are you talking about?"

Xue Yuan smiled slightly, "Let's talk about the injury on my neck."

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but glanced at his neck. There were two teeth marks on his neck, one on the left and one on the right. The wound was bitten deeply and ruthlessly. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, he might sigh Xue Yuan's last night. How wild it is.

Gu Yuan said with a straight face: "Oh? How did Guard Xue get his wound?"

Guard Xue also followed suit, "Of course it has nothing to do with the Holy One."

Tian Fusheng laughed aloud, amused, "It's really interesting for Guard Xue to talk." Of course, it has nothing to do with their majesty.

Gu Yuanbai parted his mouth, gave Xue Yuan a warning smile, and walked into a teahouse.

There was still space for the private seats on the second floor. After Gu Yuanbai took his seat, Tian Fusheng saw that his head was sweating, so he went to the kitchen of the teahouse to see if there was anything to relieve the fever.

Gu Yuanbai picked up the handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, Xue Yuan poured out two cups of tea from the teapot, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Do you need me to try the poison first?"

"Drink," Gu Yuanbai said, "Finish."

Xue Yuan picked up the cup and smacked his lips after drinking, "It's hard to drink."

He drinks in the same way as the prince, at least he and the prince will not talk too much after drinking. Gu Yuanbai couldn't hold back his chuckle, took the cup and said, "Drink your tea, don't say anything to spoil the fun."

Xue Yuan saw him take a sip of the celadon cup with a smile, and the moist light touched his lips. Xue Yuan lowered his head, "The cup looks sweeter, Your Majesty."

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyelids and looked at him: "It's in a pot."

Xue Yuan also frowned, he naturally knew it, he didn't understand why he felt this way, so he simply stopped talking.

A cool breeze blew in from the window, Gu Yuanbai looked out the window, and the people who had gathered together before had dispersed, he was about to look away, but he caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Yuanbai paused, and then looked outside, the young man, tall, was Li Yan, the eldest son of Marquis Pingchang.

Li Yan walked in a hurry, and there was no servant to follow him. He walked all the way to the corner next to the tavern, and his expression was also in a hurry.

Gu Yuanbai took a sip of tea calmly, and after a while, at the same place, he saw Tang Mian, the son of the Minister of the Household Department and a concubine of the Imperial Academy, again.

Tang Mian also walked into that alley, but compared to Li Yan's hurried expression, he was calmer.

Gu Yuanbai put down his cup, squinted his eyes and looked into the alley.What is there in that alley that can lure a Pingchang Hou Shizi and a son of a second-rank official into it, and it is such a coincidence that they go in at the same time?

Gu Yuanbai raised his chin and asked, "What's in that alley?"

Xue Yuan glanced along, not very interested, and said casually: "Let's go to the tavern."

Gu Yuanbai didn't want to take care of everything, if he really wanted to take care of everything, he wouldn't be the emperor, he'd be exhausted.The gathering of two young people only aroused his interest, Gu Yuanbai was about to look away when he saw a carriage slowly approaching on the street.

Coincidentally, this carriage also stopped at the alley next to the tavern.

Gu Yuanbai: "..."

Who is this?

Wearing black clothes with the prince, he stepped down from the carriage with a dignified expression, and beside him was a servile young man who was leading the way, and the leading direction was the depths of the alley.

Gu Yuanbai stood up directly, and looked at the alley meaningfully, "Let's go, Guard Xue, accompany me to see what treasures are in this alley."

It was able to attract so many people.

Xue Yuan stood up, straightened his robe, and said, "Please, Your Majesty."

Gu Yuanbai walked out ahead, and Xue Yuan wanted to follow after him, but he caught a glimpse of the little emperor's unused half glass of water on the table from the corner of his eye, so he picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.

If you spent money, don't waste it.

The alley was not big, and the three people who just entered were extremely low-key. Gu Yuanbai asked the rest of the guards to wait in the teahouse, and brought Xue Yuan down the teahouse alone.

Crossing the street and reaching the entrance of the alley, Gu Yuanbai originally thought it was a residential courtyard, but when he turned in, he saw a gate painted with red paint and hung with lanterns. "Three words.

There seemed to be a vague fragrance, Gu Yuanbai sniffed it with the tip of his nose, and felt that something was wrong with this place.

He tilted his head and asked Xue Yuan: "What do you think?"

Mad dog, do you smell something?

Xue Yuan gave him a strange look, frowning, "Isn't it just a tavern?"

One out of ten taverns in Daheng can be called "Baihuaxiang".

Gu Yuanbai sighed, and walked slowly into Baihuaxiang with Xue Yuan.As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of wine and flowers came over him. The courtyard was extraordinarily large, but it was decorated with red gauze, which was quite emotional.

More than a dozen beautiful men who were smiling sweetly in the courtyard were scattered here and there to accompany the respected guests to enjoy the flowers and scenery. Gu Yuanbai looked around and saw the man with powder on his face walking towards him , the corner of his mouth stiffened.

Oh, so this is the rumored Nanfeng Pavilion.

As for the Daheng Dynasty, government officials were explicitly prohibited from spending time with prostitutes.

Gu Yuanbai looked into the building, revealing an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He was an official of the court, and also the Nanfeng Hall. Why didn't he remember that he and the prince liked men?
