[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

"Chen Tingjing," Yinzhen recalled, "can Ama Khan write a poem to mourn in person in the last life, and the posthumous name of the courtier Wenzhen, does the second brother of the prince think that his talent will not be able to pass the exam?"

"Khan Ama praised Chen Tingjing's 'profound and elegant writing', and the ink in his belly can be seen."

Yinreng asked Yinzhen: "Master Chen, does he have a particularly long life? Otherwise, how could you still remember him until now, just looking at him, his temples are already slightly frosted."

Comparing this life, we can see that the fourth brother was only six or seven years old when Mr. Chen started to emerge.

Yinzhen: "I still remember him because he prevented the private minting of copper coins. He has been clean and honest all his life against corruption, and he is not afraid of the powerful. Khan Ama also said, "If the ministers of the court and China can uphold their duties as impartially as Chen Tingjing, they will be honest and upright." alright.'"

Yinfeng suddenly realized: "It turns out that Mr. Chen is a minister of Qingliu with noble moral sentiments."

He paid more attention to Chen Tingjing, and when he was reviewing memorials with Kangxi, he also observed Chen Tingjing who was often presenting recently.

For example, Chen Tingjing really played, mentioning the need to restrain courtiers and prohibit private casting of copper coins.

Kangxi asked Yinreng: "What does Baocheng think of Chen Tingjing?"

Yinfeng thought about it and said: "Master Chen tried his best to promote the reform of the bureaucracy. He is not afraid of the powerful, upright and bold, and has the courage to put forward ideas. The Qing Dynasty has an upright official like him to participate in the construction, so that the bureaucracy will be clear and better. Khan Ma also likes a good official like Mr. Chen, right? If everyone is like him, it will be a lot less worrying. How can there be corruption, private minting of copper coins, and enclosure of land to sell slaves?"

"Don't worry? Not necessarily," Kangxi heard Yinreng's high opinion of Chen Tingjing, and said with a smile: "When I was eight years old, I asked him to borrow money, but he refused to lend me."

Yinrong was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"There are still people who refuse to lend money to Ama Khan, isn't he afraid of losing his head?"

"I'm afraid, but when I asked him to borrow money from the national treasury to spend it, he just lost his head, and he was unwilling to accommodate me to make me happy. He also said that he would lend me money after receiving his salary. His little salary is not enough for me for a day. squander."

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Chen Tingjing is a good official, but he doesn't worry about it. His uprightness is the most worrying thing!"

"I have to protect a subject like him. He doesn't care how many people's interests are offended by what he does. He just wants to clean up the government. Do you think he is stupid? He is not stupid, but he does things. It all depends on the righteousness and belief in my heart. I admire his character, but I am also worried about the troubles he brings."

Kangxi handed Chen Tingjing's impeachment memorial to Yinreng: "Look for yourself!"

The censor's business is to use the pen to crusade against the enemy, and Chen Tingjing dares to write and expose everything.

Yinreng read word by word and said: ""The Fu Chen owes the state to the country according to the facts" (1)."

It is about the fact that Wang Jiwen, the local governor, took advantage of his position and did not use food and grass when wars broke out on the border. Instead, he used money. In total, as much as 90 taels were embezzled.

"Baocheng thinks how to deal with Wang Jiwen who committed the crime."

Yinfeng: "If Master Chen's writing is true, we will investigate and deal with it according to the law."

Kangxi looked strange: "Oh? Even if Wang Jiwen is Suo'etu's connection?"

Yinfeng:? ? ?

He quickly recalled what Khan Ama meant. He thought he was watching the courtiers sing a big show, but he didn't expect that the fire would burn on the third grandpa!

Yinfeng's spirit was lifted, and the righteousness said: "Khan Ama, officials who take advantage of their positions to embezzle and accept bribes should be punished strictly according to the law. When punishing corruption, we should adhere to a zero-tolerance attitude! Such as using power for personal gain, favoritism Fraud must not be encouraged, it will ruin the morals and erode the foundation of the court."

Kangxi: "..."

He endured it, but in the end he didn't hold back, and knocked a chestnut on Yinrong's head: "Speak well!"

Yinfeng rubbed his head, feeling extremely wronged: "My son is very serious!"

"Now that we have started to clear up the government, we should do it with the determination and courage of scraping the bones to cure the poison, and cutting off the wrists of a strong man. This is a difficult battle that will take a long time. We need Chen Tingjing, a courtier with a clean style and a strong sense of responsibility to do things. .”

Kangxi's face turned cold: "You mean that Wang Jiwen is going to be severely punished. If that's the case, I will dismiss Wang Jiwen immediately."

Yinfeng agreed: "Not only dismissed from office, but also ransacked the house, tracked down the stolen goods, fined, and if the circumstances were serious, he would be imprisoned."

Kangxi suffocated and sulked.

"Just like this, you gave up the contacts that Suo'etu worked so hard to manage? Wang Jiwen is still the governor after all!"

Yinfeng is unwavering: "Khan Ama, my son insists on opposing corruption and has zero tolerance for offending officials. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted because of human relations and relationships, otherwise everything you have done before will be in vain and you will be in vain. Khan Ama's hard work these days has also failed what Mr. Chen risked his life to do."

As the censor, Chen Tingjing was relentless in impeaching people, first Wang Jiwen, and then he impeached Xu Qianxue.

Yinfeng was stunned: "Does Master Xu also commit crimes?"

According to Xu Qian's family history, he was the nephew of the famous scholar "Gu Yanwu" who was not available to Khan Ama and died after falling from a horse.

Based on Yinreng's impression of working with Mr. Xu in the Ministry of Rites, he is a capable person who works neatly, does what he says and never procrastinates.

Yinreng liked Xu Qianxue quite a bit, so if he had something to do, he would instigate Mr. Xu around.

"My son thought Mr. Xu was a high-spirited Hanchen literati," Yinfeng sighed for a while: Could it be that he was blind?Really know people, know face but not heart.

Kangxi glanced at Yinfeng lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Xu Qianxue is also a member of Suo'etu."

Yinfeng closed his mouth obediently.

"Baocheng thinks that Xu Qianxue is a man of high integrity?"

In Yinreng's mind, a good donkey who does not ask for anything in return can be praised as "high-spirited and bright" and "selfless dedication".

"Xu Qianxue was originally a close friend supported by Nalan Mingzhu. After Nalan Mingzhu lost power and was demoted, he formed a line of his own, and then colluded with Suo'etu to benefit each other. When Mingzhu recovered, he also participated in the battle with Mingzhu's gangsters, backlash The old master. Do you still think he is 'high-spirited' when he is so capricious and flatters the powerful?"

Yinfeng saw that Kangxi wanted to educate him, so he shook his head obediently, satisfying the old father's desire for education.

"People's hearts are unpredictable. The courtiers are willing to do things for you and listen to you. It must be because of what you can bring to them. For people like Xu Qianxue, you have to keep your eyes open and distinguish clearly so that you will not be deceived by others."

Seeing that Yinreng had stopped talking, Kangxi comforted him again: "You don't have to worry about it. What you have to learn is to distinguish them and use them instead of being deceived by them and led by the nose. Everyone has selfish desires. It is even more complicated, as a king, you should have a heart like a mirror, see through without telling the truth, drive them to do things in the way of an emperor, and achieve the situation you want to see, this is the emperor's mind."

【Big friend's father wants to say, a black cat is still a white cat, and the one that can catch mice is a good cat! 】Yinfeng had a "teachable" look on his face, but he still said firmly: "In anti-corruption and anti-corruption, zero tolerance is the principle. Whatever Mr. Xu committed, he should be investigated and dealt with according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Khan Ama Now that we have set a precedent and let it go lightly, there will be no deterrence in the future. Everyone knows that you can be forgiven in front of you by virtue of affection, so more and more people close to you will come to trouble you. You have done it now Being stern and selfless will save you more and more big troubles in the future."

Kangxi felt that he had said so much, and it was completely in vain.

"You have to know how to be roundabout. It's enough to let a courtier like Chen Tingjing come. The way of an emperor is to judge the situation and make the best use of his talents."

"Yes, yes, I know, I have to judge the situation and make the best use of talents, so Wang Jiwen and Xu Qianxuehan Ama are going to give them a stick first, and then give them a sweet date. They are not going to really kill them."

Kangxi was not satisfied with Yinfeng's perfunctory answer.

Kangxi: "Have you listened?"

Yinfeng hurriedly said: "Listen!"

Sizing up the situation and making trade-offs, using the rule of man to surpass the law, is too humane, and it will be meaningless if it loses fairness.

A cat that can catch mice is a good cat, but a cat that is corrupt and favoritism must be caught and put in prison to think about it.

"Erchen has gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs." Yinfeng saw that the time was almost up, and took the lead to bid farewell to Kangxi.

Kangxi frowned slightly, feeling deeply worried about Yinreng's black and white concept of doing things.

When he was young, he also had such a time of hatred and hatred, but later discovered that hatred and hatred would not get the best results, only proper compromise and tolerance can achieve great things.

Kangxi sighed: "My prince is benevolent and upright, but he is too upright."

Liang Jiugong comforted Kangxi: "It is the emperor and the Taifus who taught His Highness the Prince well. His Highness is upright and selfless, and has not been influenced by Suo Xiang. With you slowly teaching, Your Highness will understand this in the future."

Kangxi nodded: "Forget it, if you don't understand now, you will understand in the future. With Zhen watching and Suo Ertu protecting you, Baocheng will never suffer."

Then, Kangxi slapped the table: "Also, send someone to call Suo'etu, how did he teach the prince, how did he teach it! I don't think he is teaching the prince, he is being taught by the prince!"

Yinfeng controlled his expression well, and ran away as soon as he left.

"Xinyu, Gu wants to teach you a serious task."

Xinyu: "Your Highness, please tell me."

"Protect Chen Tingjing, don't let him be slaughtered."

Yinfeng looked regretful: "Khan Ama spared Wang Jiwen and Xu Qianxue, isn't he afraid that Chen Tingjing will be retaliated against?"

[The widowed little cabbage without an umbrella is talking about Mr. Chen. 】Xinyu twitched the corners of his mouth: "Your Highness...you just tell your subordinates to tell Suo Xiang so that he will not trouble Mr. Chen."

"You think too much, the third grandfather would not do this. He is now in a critical period of transformation. What he has to do is to rectify the team gathered around him, eliminate the crooked melons and dates that are slowing down, and simplify the complexity. Master Chen offended It's not just the third grandpa, including Mingxiang, the Tong family, and the prince."

Xinyu: "Your Highness means..."

"Let the third grandpa protect Mrs. Chen," Yinfeng stretched out a finger and shook it: "The more muddy the water in this pool, the better, Han Ama always underestimates Gu, so Gu will fish for him! "

[Who do big friends want to touch? 】

Of course it's touching Mr. Chen!

The author has something to say: Notes (1) "Correcting and ginseng based on the facts of Fu Chen's debt to the country" comes from the life of Chen Tingjing.

Ps:

To punish corruption with a zero-tolerance attitude, we must continue to maintain a high-pressure anti-corruption posture, and resolutely carry out the party's work style and clean government construction and the anti-corruption struggle to the end.For many years, there have been endless discussions and debates about whether anti-corruption can achieve "zero tolerance".Some people say that "zero tolerance" must be achieved in anti-corruption, and we must not "open our mouths" to "don't blame the past" or "don't make an example".

Some people also say that China's anti-corruption cannot implement "zero tolerance" at all, because China is a "acquaintance society", "sophisticated people", and "a culture of harmony". Giving gifts", "reciprocity".National conditions, public conditions, and social conditions are like this. "Zero tolerance" cannot be achieved at all. Many "iron disciplines" have become "soft noodles" and rules and regulations have become "rubber bands."

Facts have proved that the anti-corruption struggle should not be based on peace, tolerance or compromise.It is right to adopt the policy of "combining leniency with strictness" to punish corrupt elements, but we should not only focus on "leniency" and ignore "strictness", or even be lenient without strictness and be lenient without bounds.We must use strong medicine to eliminate disease, the determination to deal with chaos, and the courage to scrape the bone to cure the poison and the brave man to cut the wrist, and resolutely carry out the party's work style and clean government construction and the anti-corruption struggle to the end.It is necessary to strictly examine and deal with violations of party discipline and government discipline by party members and cadres, and suspected violations of laws, and seriously investigate and deal with cases of corruption and bribery, buying and selling officials, bending the law for personal gain, corruption, dereliction of duty, and dereliction of duty.Adhere to the early grasp of the small, early detection, early reminder, early correction, early investigation and punishment of the problems of party members and cadres.Increase the intensity of international pursuit of fugitives and stolen goods, and never let corrupt elements go unpunished.
