I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

When Xue Yuan stared at people, it was like a carnivorous beast staring at its prey.

No matter how nice his words were, Gu Yuanbai couldn't be moved.Instead, he felt that there was something in Xue Yuan's words, either he was putting on a show, or he was gloating in his heart.

The first impression is really too important. The first, second, and third impressions that Xue Yuan left on Gu Yuanbai...are not very good. Now he says words similar to caring, and the effect is not as good as that of Tian Fusheng. Or the head guard Zhang Xu said it well.

Therefore, the smile and gentleness that Xue Yuan wanted to see did not appear on the face of the Holy Majesty, but he nodded perfunctorily, and then closed the car window without hesitation.

The car windows were closed, and the wind brought up Xue Yuan's hair on his temples.

Xue Yuan froze for a moment, then slowly straightened up, he stopped laughing, and raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips expressionlessly, thinking, is his smile so scary?

Gu Yuanbai asked what he meant.

Just at this moment, the head guard on the other side of the carriage also approached with his horse, and persuaded him gently through the carriage: "My lord, your lords will take care of this matter. Don't worry, the dragon's body is the most important thing."

The saint in the car sighed, and replied softly: "I am fine, there is no need to worry."

Zhang Xu smiled, straightened up and said no more.Suddenly feeling a look of unkindness, he looked back along the line of sight, and saw Xue Yuan who was looking at him expressionlessly.

The Holy Majesty said that he should learn more from Xue Yuan, so the chief guard smiled, maintaining the demeanor of the chief guard very calmly and steadily.

Xue Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at his hand, and slowly clenched the rein.

The actions of Yushitai and the Supervision Office are still going on.

Before the anti-corruption campaign, Gu Yuanbai had set aside more than a month to allow those who had the ability to find out that the saint had anti-corruption intentions and who were able to make up for the money they embezzled had time to make up the money.These people can't move yet, Gu Yuanbai just asks them to spit out what they eat, so that they can turn a blind eye.

And the remaining people who were unable to accept Gu Yuanbai's early signal, let alone resist Gu Yuanbai.

On the bright side, Yushitai showed no mercy, and left without accepting banquets or filial piety after the investigation.The behind-the-scenes wave was more ruthless, and the surprise attack after half a month was often able to completely pull down the corrupt officials who were dealing with the situation.

The more you check, the bigger, the bigger you check.People who are not upright in various states and counties are starting to feel uneasy. Some officials are still trying to make up for the gap, while some officials plan to run away with the money.

Qingzhou, Shandong.

A county magistrate was hurriedly packing his bags and preparing to flee with his family. The sky was dark outside the window, and it was a good time to leave the city.A carriage had already been prepared outside the gate, and half of the space in the carriage was piled up with gold, silver and treasures.The official sat in the carriage with a panicked expression and sweat profusely on his forehead.

His wife was sitting by the side, feeling uneasy, "Is this how we escaped?"

The official said harshly: "Is it okay if you don't run away? Do you want to take out all the gold and silver in the family to fill in the corruption loopholes?! Even if you think about it, we don't have so much money!"

Madam stopped talking, looking at the gold and silver in the car with greedy eyes.

Two carriages arrived at the gate of the city, and the official raised the curtain of the carriage, and said to the defenders, "Open the gate, and let me out of the city!"

Seeing that it was an adult in the city, the guards and soldiers hurriedly retreated and opened the city gate.

Under the night, the carriage drove out leisurely, the official wiped the cold sweat off his face with his sleeve, he couldn't believe that he got out so easily.

The wife had already laughed, and the official looked at her smile, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.But already out of the city, the carriage drove all night, who would know where he went the next day?

The official also laughed, but the escaped smile didn't last long before the carriage stopped suddenly, the inside of the carriage shook, and the official and his wife were dizzy.

"What's going on!" The official steadied himself and shouted angrily, "Can't you even drive?!"

It was quiet outside, and no one answered him.The official's heart jumped, and the bad premonition struck again.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, lifted the car curtain and looked at it, and suddenly his heart stopped with fright.

On the road outside, a group of arresters were holding torches and surrounding his two carriages. Everyone was neatly dressed and equipped with big knives, and their faces reflected by the torches were majestic and terrifying.

A man in an official robe walked over leading the way, he looked at the county magistrate who was about to flee and laughed: "Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, are you planning to run away?"

The county magistrate screamed in shock: "You—"

The originally taciturn county magistrate sneered twice, his usually bent back seemed to straighten up suddenly, his eyes were burning, he looked at Zhao Ning and said forcefully: "With me here, don't even try to escape! You eat so much!" Do you want to run away just like this because you have so many people and people?! Don’t even think about it! I’m going to arrest you now, and when the Holy Majesty’s inspection team arrives at Huangpu City, I’ll hand you over to them for interrogation!”

The magistrate sternly said, "I have nothing to worry about with you!"

The torches illuminated everyone's faces in the dark, dispelling the chill, and the county magistrate glanced at every arrester holding the torches, and then said word by word: "You think we want to do evil for you Do you think we just want to be scolded by the people?! This is Huangpu City! It’s not your money nest! Why are we afraid? The imperial court has come to investigate corruption, so what else can we not dare to do!”

At the end of his speech, his fists were already clenched, his veins popped out of excitement, and his eyes were filled with scalding tears.

Some of the arresters behind him couldn't help uttering angry and painful curses. These voices were passed on one after another. Every person who violated his conscience and closed his eyes and sank couldn't help but think of the people in the city.

Corrupt official Zhao Ning looked at this group of people and lowered his head decadently.

Things like this happen everywhere.

A good official with a heart for the people stood up and took the lead in seizing the corrupt officials in the administration and the evidence of their corruption, only waiting for the court to send someone to check.And in some places, there are no officials to stand up, that is, people who can read, and scholars who have correspondence with the capital. After they learned of the anti-corruption actions and strength, something ignited in their hearts. They dared to gather together, and then called on the people to stop the corrupt officials from tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, so that they would not dare to move, and would not dare to make up for the embezzled money.

"Everyone!" The scholars were sweating profusely, but they tried their best to tell the people about the court's anti-corruption activities over and over again. They talked dryly, loudly and firmly, "The court will definitely catch corrupt officials." Your Majesty will definitely punish these fish and meat people!"

Speech in the Daheng Dynasty was relatively free, but in this bureaucratic system, the scholars who had not yet become officials would not be ignorant of the consequences of offending officials.If they did this, and the court did not find out the corrupt officials, their life would be worse than death.

But when they looked at the farmers who were looking forward to them, and at the people who chanted "God is all grace" and "Corrupt officials should die", their chests were full of strength. Such emotions made them face these corrupt officials. When he was a filthy official, he became even tougher.

And these good officials, scholars, and common people have used great efforts to create a great situation for the court, and the court will never waste it.

Recently, a thing called "Daheng Guobao" appeared in the capital, and it was sold in Zhang's bookstore in the west of Beijing, and only [-] copies were sold every day.

The above articles follow up the anti-corruption process from time to time, which officials have been sacked by each provincial government recently, which things have been embezzled, and what has been implicated in this way, all of which are recorded one by one.In addition, there are touching stories from various places, people's views on anti-corruption and benefits, etc., all of which have completely brought the anti-corruption activities at the national level under the eyes of the people, making the people in the capital scramble for the first place. Before dawn, I lined up at the door of Zhang's bookstore, wanting to see the contents of "Da Heng Guo Bao" at first glance.

The people in the capital don't know why, when they saw these things, they looked at these things like treasures. Whenever they saw the tears of joy from the people everywhere when they saw the officials fell, they unconsciously wet their eyes and wiped them secretly. to tears.When I saw the gratitude and praise from other prefectures and counties to the Holy One, I was so proud that I wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

The content of such an article can easily unite the people of a country, to gather their sense of belonging to the country and their support for the ruler.

This is naturally Gu Yuanbai's handwriting.

teahouse.

The storyteller patted Xingmu, and what was in his hand was a copy of "Daheng Guobao", he said loudly: "...The county magistrate of Huangpu City, with all the arresters, will be the corrupt official county magistrate. It was suppressed back into the city! The people who heard about it couldn’t go out because of the curfew, so they watched from the cracks in the windows and doors by the window, and wanted to celebrate with joy, but they still had to cover their mouths. For fear of disturbing the sleeping child."

"Before our supervisory officials from the imperial court arrived, the people of Huangpu City consciously guarded the city gates every day, and no outsiders were allowed to enter and leave, so as to prevent the county magistrate from escaping. After our supervisory officials arrived, we will thoroughly investigate the county magistrate's mansion and the local granary. , Sure enough, a big corruption was found! The supervisory officials spent three days counting the amount of corruption in the county magistrate of Huangpu City." The storyteller sneered, and there was another sound of Xingmu, "It's a full 30 taels! One The ten-year income of more than a thousand households in Huangpu City! There is no need to say the amount of corruption. Our supervisory officials can’t bear it, the Holy One can’t bear it! When they came out, the whole city cheered, and the old farmer who worked hard but was robbed had tears in his eyes."

"Children don't understand the sorrow of their parents and grandparents, but they also jump with joy. Parents and grandparents wiped away their tears, and the tears wet their clothes. They are both happy with the current situation of the county magistrate Zhao Ning and grateful for the present. Beheaded Zhao Ning On that day, the crowds were empty, and the applause could be heard for hundreds of miles, only to hear that the time had come, and the sharp knife fell, and Zhao Ning's head would be beheaded!"

"it is good!"

There was applause from the audience, and everyone was excited and excited, "What about after that? What about the money found from the corrupt official's house?!"

The storyteller said with a smile: "Before our sage sent people to start the anti-corruption campaign, we had established regulations. Part of the money collected from corrupt officials everywhere was kept in the local area for construction purposes, and it is natural for the people to use it. Yumin. Part of it was sent to the imperial court to fill the treasury."

"The term "construction" was mentioned in the newspaper, which means to build a display. The part of the money that the Holy Majesty left in the local area is also used to build roads!"

"Building the road," murmured the people below, "it's about to start building the road."

In the private seat of the tea house, Gu Yuanbai picked up a glass of water, but was so absorbed in listening to the emotional words of the storyteller downstairs that he forgot to taste the tea for a while.

He only smiled and took a sip of his tea after he heard that everyone below started to discuss passionately about the road construction.

The things that the people yearn for, the court can produce, is the best way to win and gather the hearts of the people.
