I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

After the anti-corruption activities were carried out, the people from the Supervision Office reported the situation in Lizhou to Gu Yuanbai first.

After reading it, Gu Yuanbai flew into a rage.

The magistrate of Lizhou executed a corrupt official this year. The corrupt official was said to have committed crimes, robbed people's women, and was corrupt.After the case was reviewed by Dali Temple, suspicious clouds were found, and the governor of Lizhou was asked to make a new decision, but the governor of Lizhou insisted on going his own way and directly beheaded the official.

People from the Supervision Office found out that although the executed officials committed some corruption, they were not guilty of death, nor did they commit crimes or rob civilian women.If that was the case, then the state could only be convicted of a wrongful judgment and a crime of disregarding right and wrong. However, after investigation by the Supervision Office, a funny thing was found.

The magistrate who replaced the official position who was wrongly sentenced to death turned out to be a member of the "Shuangcheng School" in the capital.

After careful investigation, the supervisor found that Zhizhou was also a member of the Shuangcheng School.

Forming a party for personal gain is a taboo in the life of an emperor.

Gu Yuanbai looked at the letter sent back by the Supervision Office, the anger of the Holy One made the people in the hall tremble and kneel on the ground, he sneered twice, "Okay, very good."

He had just purged the inner court of the former court, and the factions among the officials did not dare to form a faction, so they took the school and started to form a party for personal gain?

Gu Yuanbai put the letter paper on the table, still burning with anger, he patted the table again, and said coldly: "Let the master of Guozixue summon you."

The morning court ended early the next morning, and the ministers had no time to retreat, and were brought to Guozixue by the Holy One in the name of inspecting the students.

The students in Guozixue read aloud, crisp and melodious.The head teacher and all the lecturers have been waiting in front of Guozixue to welcome the Holy Majesty to arrive.

A group of courtiers followed the Holy Majesty, only thinking that the Holy Majesty was acting on a whim, so they also smiled and followed by the side, seeing the great talents of Guozixue.

After watching these students, the ministers thought it was over, but they didn't expect the teacher to invite them into a school with a serious face.

Several chairs have been placed in the school, the ministers looked at each other, the head teacher had already walked forward, and said in a deep voice: "Please sit down, my lord."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked towards the front seat: "My lord, would you like to sit?"

Gu Yuanbai walked towards the back of the crowd and said, "I sit at the end."

"Then how?" Hubu Shangshu panicked, "How can the Holy One sit behind me?"

But Gu Yuanbai had already sat down, his face was calm, "Sit down."

Everyone was puzzled and sat down one after another.

Usually, those with high official positions are in the front, but now the Holy Majesty is sitting at the end, so those with high official positions also sit in the back.

After all the officials were seated, the head teacher opened his mouth, and his first words made all the courtiers in the room stop in shock, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you about the Niu Gao Controversy during the late emperor's time."

The Niu Gao Controversy was a dispute between the parties during the late Emperor's lifetime. It was a bloody political struggle between one faction headed by an important minister in the court, Lord Niu, and the other faction headed by Lord Gao.

The first emperor liked Buddha, and his character was benevolent and good at listening to advice, and he was soft-hearted at worst.At that time, the Niu Gao dispute disrupted the government, and the first emperor only gave each of them [-] boards to let them restrain themselves.Seeing that the first emperor's methods were so weak, Niu Gao's second party fought more arrogantly with the other party for the status and power of the imperial court. They relied on the words "the law does not blame the public".

It was only after the birth of the current Holy Majesty that the first emperor planned to fight hard to clear up the party chaos for his youngest son, and the party members of the Niu Gao dispute that ravaged the government in [-] fell one after another.

This incident has also become something that no one dares to mention, and it has become an unspeakable taboo.

But now, the head teacher of Guozixue directly talked about this matter in front of all the court officials and the Holy Majesty.

Officials with high political acumen have already noticed something unusual. The closer the person is to the Holy Majesty, the more they straighten their bodies and tensely listen to every word the headmaster said.

"Forming cliques for personal gain is a drawback that has existed in all dynasties," the head teacher said loudly, "The Niu Gao dispute during the late Emperor's reign was just one of them, and this Niu Gao dispute is a dispute between two factions headed by important ministers in the court. The battlefield of this dispute is not only in the capital, but also in the local area..."

There was already a fine sweat on someone's head, and they lowered their heads slightly, not daring to continue listening.

At this time, the voice of the Holy Majesty came from behind, and said in a neutral tone: "Lift up your head and listen carefully."

So the courtiers were forced to raise their heads, not daring to miss a moment.And as they listened more, their hearts sank.

The head teacher has already talked about the two factions of local officials who framed and killed each other because of party disputes. These deeds were exposed bloody, and every word is enough to make people shudder.

The Holy Majesty sat at the end, and the backs of countless people would be seen by the Holy Majesty. Some officials glanced out of the corner of their eyes and saw the guards with big knives at the waist guarding the outside of the lecture hall. In an instant, their backs were soaked in sweat. up.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, this difficult partisan battle is finally over.When the head teacher came down from the front to the Holy Majesty, most of the officials sitting in the front breathed a sigh of relief.Their minds were half relaxed, and they began to think about why the Holy One brought them to Guozixue today, and the purpose of bringing them here to listen to this talk.

The teacher said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have finished my lecture."

Gu Yuanbai sat upright on the carved wooden leaning, nodded slightly when he heard the words, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and said with no expression of joy or anger, "Then tell the story again."

Sweat dripped from the headmaster's forehead, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and walked forward again with big strides.

This happened over and over again, and the atmosphere in the whole room was extremely tense. When Gu Yuanbai looked around, it was visible to the naked eye that some people were already fidgeting.

Tian Fusheng brought tea to Gu Yuanbai, and Gu Yuanbai drank it slowly, the original anger in his heart had subsided.

What is the difference between a party headed by senior officials and a party headed by schools of thought and local origin?

They all want to occupy Gu Yuanbai's land, rights and resources, use Gu Yuanbai's things to win over Gu Yuanbai's officials, and are completely generous to others.

But the emperor's generosity, how could it be so generous?

Gu Yuanbai put down the teacup after quenching his thirst. He hooked his hands to Xue Yuan, who was standing upright by the back door. The corners of Xue Yuan's lips curled into a smile, and he walked over, and said in a low voice, "What is your order?"

Heart pounding, is this really the heart of a monarch and minister?

Xue Yuan secretly glanced at Gu Yuanbai from the corner of his eye, wanting to see him smile, not wanting to see him so angry.What should I do if I get angry?This is probably the heart of loyalty.

Gu Yuanbai said: "Go and invite Grand Tutor Li Bao. He personally experienced the dispute between Niu Gao and Niu Gao. He always speaks more emotionally than the head teacher."

Xue Yuan stood up, covered by a shadow, answered yes neatly, turned around and strode out.

Gu Yuanbai's eyes were covered by the shadow, and he subconsciously glanced at Xue Yuan's back. At first glance, he found that Xue Yuan seemed to have grown taller again.

Gu Yuanbai frowned and asked, "How old is Xue Jiuyao?"

Tian Fusheng thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "It should be twenty-four."

Can you grow taller at the age of 24?Gu Yuanbai looked at the tense officials in front of him, and thought casually, then I'm only 21, why haven't I learned anything?

The officials in front prayed that the head teacher could speak quickly.After this time was finally finished, the head teacher still didn't dare to go down, the little eunuch next to the saint came over and said: "Master head teacher, please step down quickly. You have worked hard today, it is hot outside, you can go back and rest first."

When everyone saw the head teacher walking down, they all thought it was over, their hearts suddenly relaxed, and they all showed relaxed expressions on their faces.But the Holy Majesty behind him didn't speak, so no one dared to make a noise.

After a silence of more than a quarter of an hour, footsteps sounded by the door again.When everyone looked up, they saw Li Bao, a well-known scholar walking in with a cane, and moved to the front step by step. After seeing the eyes of all the officials below, he took a deep breath, and said sonorously: This old man is right here, and I will tell all the adults about the Niu Gao party chaos that disrupted the government of the late emperor back then!"

All the courtiers were dizzy, and their hearts jumped up again.This loosening and tightening made people almost tremble with fear.

Although the sun outside was big but not strong, the people inside were as hot as summer in July, so hot that they couldn't breathe.

After Li Bao finished speaking and was sent out, no one dared to relax anymore.

Gu Yuanbai waited for a while before asking leisurely, "What do you think, my lords?"

Don't dare to move, don't dare to have.

The six ministers and the important ministers of each government looked at each other from the corner of their eyes. The privy envoy Mr. Zhao watched his heart and nose, and the counselor of the political affairs hall did the same. There is no such thing as forming a clique for personal gain in these two governments.

After a while, someone finally stood up and said: "The chaos of the gangsters will only bring chaos to the government, and once found out, they must be severely punished!"

"The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is right," said the Holy Master, "Then how severe should the punishment be?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said: "Depending on the degree, we will investigate it in different levels."

Gu Yuanbai nodded, and his voice softened, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is right, and I think so too."

All the ministers heard the relaxation in the Holy Majesty's tone, and the tense spirit slightly relaxed.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not dare to think wildly, he felt that the words of the Holy Majesty had not yet spoken, and these words must be the main content of today's release.

Sure enough, the Holy Majesty's tone remained unchanged, and he asked again: "Then if a local high-ranking official in a party uses his private power to eradicate an official from another party who is not guilty of a crime, and fills the vacancy with someone from his own party, what crime should it be?" ?”

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments was under a lot of pressure suddenly. He was cautious and thoughtful.

The Holy Majesty didn't say good or bad, but instead called out: "Shangshu, what do you think?"

Everyone didn't understand why the Holy Majesty suddenly called the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and turned their heads to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was also confused, but they still respectfully said: "I think the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is right."

It has been a year and a half since the Holy Majesty took control of the government with his own hands, and the big guy has also researched a detail.If the Holy Majesty is in a good mood, he will call his ministers to be a certain minister. If he is in a bad mood, or if an official violates his taboo, he will call him a full official position in a flat tone, just like calling him Minister of the Ministry of Officials at this time.

"I also think what the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said is right," Gu Yuanbai laughed, "Now that what I said happened to happen, since the Minister of the Ministry of Officials thinks it should be so, let's go and deal with it with Dali Temple .”

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not responsible for dealing with these, his eyes jumped, and a bad feeling rose in his heart: "Yes."

Gu Yuanbai finally got up and walked out accompanied by the palace attendant, he just remembered after taking two steps, turned his head and said: "Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the faction involved in this case is exactly the 'Shuangcheng School' ' is."

In the middle of the court, people from the Shuangcheng School suddenly woke up.

The Holy One smiled, and then his voice turned cold: "I hope you don't make the mistake of bending the law for personal gain."

"Important officials in the imperial court should put the country and the people first." Gu Yuanbai glanced at all the courtiers one by one, and said: "I also hope that all the gentlemen should know that the three lectures you listened to today are really important." What was said."

Everyone in the court, who were themselves representatives of various factions, broke out in cold sweat, and bowed heavily: "Yes."

Gu Yuanbai walked out of the lecture hall, but the legs and feet of the courtiers who were still standing in the lecture hall were stiff.Just when all the lords were feeling afraid, a voice suddenly sounded: "My lords, please go, the affairs of each yamen cannot be delayed for a moment."

General Xue, who was buried among the courtiers, felt that the voice was too familiar, and when he looked up, it was not his son.

Xue Yuan smiled politely and seemed to have an extraordinary demeanor.

All the courtiers woke up startled, and started going out in twos and threes.General Xue walked to the side, walked up to Xue Yuan, and said in a low voice: "What happened to the Holy One today? What big case did the Shuangcheng School have?"

Xue Yuan lowered his head and glanced at General Xue, and said lazily, "General Xue wants to inquire about the Holy Will?"

General Xue's face was so angry that he strode out.

After everyone had finished walking, Xue Yuan straightened the saber at his waist, and quickly followed the direction of the Holy Majesty.

When he walked outside the gate of Guozixue, the emperor's carriage had already gone far.Xue Yuan couldn't help but look around, stepped forward and pulled General Xue off the horse, turned on the horse, raised the rein, "Drive!" and chased in the direction of Gu Yuanbai.

General Xue was so angry that he jumped on the spot, "Nizi, Nizi——!"

After a while, Xue Yuan caught up with the large army. He rode his horse to the side of Gu Yuanbai's carriage, cleared his throat, "My lord, if you are in a bad mood, you can vent your anger on me."

I couldn't help laughing just after saying two words.

A few days ago, His Majesty could have scolded him hard if he called him a beast, so forget it.Xue Yuan recently felt that he was too angry, what if he was scolded hard again and frightened others.

A white hand opened the car window, and Gu Yuanbai showed half of his chin in the carriage, his light-colored lips curled up in a funny way, paired with a sharp chin, showing a somewhat half-covered and stern beauty, "What is Guard Xue talking about? If I am angry, will I vent my anger on the people around me?"

What's more, Gu Yuanbai has long been out of anger, why bother to be angry with himself for a group of fools.If you are bored...

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help looking at Xue Yuan's neck through the car window.

He still remembered the last time he bit Xue Yuan to express his anger and suppressed all kinds of restless feelings.Seriously, it's cool.In the Daheng time travel so far, only Xue Yuan can bear to let Gu Yuanbai vent his anger, and vent his anger on Xue Yuan. He is rough and fleshy, like a mad dog. Gu Yuanbai can temporarily make actions that do not conform to the emperor's words and deeds be yourself.

No one else, not the head of the guard, not Tian Fusheng, not Chu Wei, not the people in the Supervision Office, none of them.

Gu Yuanbai is a mountain, the mountain in their hearts, this mountain cannot collapse, cannot be irritable, must be calm, cannot take actions to vent their depression, must be unpredictable, and must serve the country and the people wholeheartedly.

After a long time, there is always some loneliness.

That's the case for lonely people, but in the final analysis, Gu Yuanbai is still a positive and promising young man in the 21st century who likes adventure and excitement.

Seeing that Gu Yuanbai kept his eyes on his neck, Xue Yuan suddenly felt itchy where he was bitten earlier. He stretched out his hand to touch the neck that had already healed, and glanced at Gu Yuanbai from the corner of his eye. He stabilized his body on the carriage, put his head close to the window, and coaxed in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to bite me again?"

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyelids and looked at him.

Xue Yuan licked his lips and suddenly smiled: "Doesn't Your Majesty like to watch Cuju? If you are in a bad mood today, I will play a game with Mr. Zhang and others for you to see."

"I don't think there is much need for rewards." Xue Yuan stared at Gu Yuanbai with black eyes, half-truthfully said, "Just smile and be happy, that's enough."
