Are you stupid?

The new monarch has a gentle temperament, is kind and likes to consider others. Although the courtiers have always felt that the new monarch is too soft, as a courtier, it is much better to have a good-natured king above him than to serve a tyrant.Therefore, the courtiers, intentionally or unintentionally, never reminded the new emperor that his attitude towards his courtiers should be tougher.

The servant of the official department had little contact with the new monarch in the past, and what he knew was the news that everyone said. Naturally, he thought that the new monarch had such a personality. He was called over in a hurry. Although he guessed that it might have something to do with the official's dereliction of duty, he was not nervous , almost as a big event.

He paced in all directions, walking towards the main hall full of official authority, and even had the heart to sigh the exquisiteness of the buildings in Luoyang Palace along the way, and every step constituted a scene.

When he reached the main hall, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials put on an anxious expression, followed behind the servant, took a few steps forward quickly, and entered the room.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials did not know that the insignificant servant who was guarding everywhere had already passed on his attitude several times, layer by layer, so that the new king knew it clearly.

"Your Majesty is late, please forgive me." The servant of the official department stood in front of the new king, bowing his hands solemnly.

The servant of the official department turned his eyes slightly, and found that Gu Jian, the servant of the household department, whose office is next to the official department, had already arrived, sitting quietly under the new monarch, and looked at him with the new monarch, with complicated eyes.

Shenlong ignored the pretentiousness of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, let him stand hunched over, gave Lin Jianxi a look, and said coldly: "Tell them."

There were all smart people present, and the difference in arrival time between the servants of the official department and the servants of the household department had already made Lin Jianxi keenly aware of the different positions of the two officials.

He restrained himself from looking up, and quickly recounted the tragic situation in Shu with his jaw strained.

Gu Jian frowned after hearing this, and asked in doubt: "The taxes in Shu are paid neatly, and the grain tax has never been in arrears. How can there be a large number of people planting mulberry trees instead?"

There is a grain tax on grain, and silkworms can be raised by planting mulberry trees. Therefore, taxation is also required for planting mulberry trees; even because silk fabrics produced by weaving are more profitable than grain and are difficult to preserve, when silk fabrics are used instead of grain to pay taxes, there is an additional tax. tax.Generally speaking, those who pay "cloth" as a tax are far less than those who pay grain and money.

The household department has been in Gu Jian's hands for several years. Although Gu Jian can't say that he knows the data of all places, Shu is rich in products and has the reputation of the land of abundance. Almost one-fifth of Dazhou's tax revenue comes from this place. It is impossible for Gu Jian not to Knowing the tax situation in Shu, and hearing what Lin Jianxi said, Gu Jian's reaction was even stronger than that of the official minister.

Gu Jian was the first to speak, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials immediately seemed to have found an ally, and immediately joined in, "Yes, Your Majesty. The people in Shu are simple and honest, and the products are rich. It is a good thing that there are few people under the administration of officials. If you can manage a place well and give it an excellent rating, you can continue to be in charge of this place as a parent official. Although the officials in Shu have not changed much, they are governed very well and fully comply with the rules of official transfer. I really don’t understand, Your Majesty You have to believe the random words of the examinees, not the results of the investigations by the court officials."

"I have evidence!" Lin Jianxi roared immediately.

He took off his coat and turned it over, laying the clothes out in the sun. The originally dark single clothes suddenly flashed lines of small characters. Lin Jianxi pointed to the long gown and said with trembling fingers, "This clothes is from my hometown." Father 130, a family of folks weaving together day and night. The names recorded on it are the names of the people who died of illness and starvation when I left my hometown. .”

"My lord servant, I'm already the second place in high school. If I pretend nothing happened, I won't be able to rise to the top from now on, at least I can be rich and peaceful for the rest of my life. Why do I have to make troubles and bring troubles on myself? You have been in the temple for many years, so you can't go on. Are you willing to look down at the blood and tears of the people?"

Above the court, he was not afraid of confronting the emperor, but he was afraid of being questioned by his opponent.Because officials with bad character have ulterior motives in doing good deeds; officials with good character, when they do wrong things, are just careless for a while.

Although Lin Jianxi hadn't been an official in the imperial court yet, she obviously had a deep understanding of the essence of the quarrels in the imperial court, and the last question was instantly frightened, and the minister of the official department eavesdropped and broke into a cold sweat.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials hurriedly said, "Don't dare to say such words! I have been acting in accordance with the rules of the court, and I have been working hard for many years. How did it come to your mouth? If I question the truth of your words, you will say that I I don’t care about the common people. When I was working abroad, I also served as a parent official and educated the common people myself. Because of this, I can say that your words are not trustworthy—I can’t even eat when I’m hungry. Can you still think of weaving Shu brocade long clothes for you from door to door and sending you to Beijing for the exam? Look at the clothes you are wearing. It is brilliant from the inside to the outside. Hahaha, how ridiculous!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials laughed as he talked, and was very dismissive of Lin Jianxi. Lin Jianxi touched his brand new clothes and smiled bitterly, "Yes, they are all new, not only the clothes and shoes are new, Even my school bag is new. Because I left home to go to Beijing to catch the exam, my parents, brothers and sisters, no one can be sure if they are still alive when I go back."

Lin Jianxi couldn't bear it anymore, covered her eyes and choked up, "Yes, silk brocades are precious! I didn't know until I arrived in the capital that a suit of silk and satin clothes can be exchanged for five bags of polished rice, but no matter how expensive silk brocades are in Sichuan You can’t exchange for a bowl of life-saving coarse grains.”

"I don't care about the world so much! When the catastrophe is imminent, I just want to take my parents, brothers and sisters to escape from the dead zone, but I can't help it! If I can go to Beijing to participate in Enke with fame, Does Mr. Shi Lang think that I am still alive to stand here? There are 37 people in my family, and they have been controlled long ago. Even before being controlled, the youngest sister was only eight months old, and she starved to death in her infancy! Today I Having said these words, I don’t expect anyone in my family to survive—people cannot be heartless, my family is like this, what about other people? They don’t even have anyone who can come to Beijing and speak up!”

Lin Jianxi stroked the brocade clothes under the sun, put her fingers on the vest, pointed to a line of small words on it, "This is my little sister."

He simply took off the shoes and socks on his feet, revealing a pair of calluses and scars, which looked completely different from Qingya's feet, which did not look like they had grown on the same person. Opening my eyes, I didn't dare to stop for a moment, worried that I would wear out the shoes my mother and sister sewed by myself, so I had to go barefoot, full of calluses newly ground on the road."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials still wanted to refute, but Gu Jian was not on the same road as him, and he didn't want to let the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Lin Jianxi entangle, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if Lin Jianxi's words are serious, I am afraid that not only the officials will be corrupted in Shu, but even the officials will be corrupted." The local military officers are probably in collusion with the Jiayu County King. Ordinary officials may risk their lives to help the disaster."

"The servants of the Ministry of Officials, please go down and have a rest."

Shenlong waved his hand, and the servants immediately "invited" the servant of the official department to go to the next door, put him under guard, and let him "rest" obediently, Wu Chang obediently supported Lin Jianxi to go down together.

In an instant, only Xinjun, Gu Jian, Mu Huaiyuan, and Shen Yu were left in the hall.

Shenlong looked at Gu Jian with a smile, and said, "I heard that Gu Shilang can draw all the precious metals that I have seen before."

Gu Jian was puzzled, and waved his hand awkwardly, "I only like to play with 'money', this hobby is really unrefined, Nian'er has learned it from a young age, he must have told His Majesty. "

"The Tiger Talisman is lost." Shenlong spoke again, frightening Gu Jian to the point where he was paralyzed.

He looked up at Xinjun in disbelief, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears to hear such terrible content.

Shenlong smiled, "Gu Shilang has seen what the tiger talisman looks like? Come on, draw it, I'm going to recast the tiger talisman and dispatch troops."

"Does Taishi, Taifu know about this?" Gu Jian's voice was tight, his head was as big as a bucket.

"The teacher didn't know before, but after this incident, he will know immediately."

Gu Jian only felt that his head was as big as a bucket, but he didn't expect that a palace test would lead to the evil behavior of the king of Jiayu County in Shu, which was not the most terrible thing, and it even let him know the bad news that the Tiger Talisman that can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses was lost!

Gu Jian wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened to the loss of the Tiger Talisman? As long as you have the Tiger Talisman, you can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses. The generals guarding the border towns only recognize the Tiger Talisman and not the imperial decree!"

"Gu Shilang, don't panic." Shenlong told the story of the disappearance of the tiger talisman after the death of Emperor Taixing and the testimony of the two servants who had been in contact with the tiger talisman. He took a sip from his teacup, "Both servants were sent by me. I went to the Punishment Division. Gu Shilang must have heard about the means of the Punishment Division. Although the latter servant was indeed bought by the Jiayu County King, the tiger amulet was indeed transferred by the two from time to time, but it was lost for no reason."

"Did it really follow the late emperor into the tomb?" Gu Jian comforted himself in his heart.

Shenlong looked at him with a smile, which made Gu Jianxin slowly cool down, "No?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not, but the people who repaired the tomb were sent by me to investigate, but they didn't find it in the jade pillow." Shenlong changed his posture and said uncomfortably, "Based on what I know about my father , it must have been received when the emperor was alive, I don’t know where it went.”

Gu Jian: "..."

What else can he say?He felt that Xinjun's words made sense!

"I can't help it either. I originally thought that the tiger talisman can be found slowly, and I won't need it for the time being, but things can't wait for me to 'find it slowly'." Shenlong rubbed his aching forehead, "Just take a picture of the tiger talisman." It became clear to me that Lin Jianxi didn't need to lie to me. When my father was alive, he told me more than once that the king of Jiayu County was good at buying people's hearts, but I really never thought that his fiefdom in Shu was only three The number of cities is such that the entire seven prefectures of Shu can be united with the king of Jiayu County. ——At this point, what is "corruption of officials" is no different from raising rebellion."

"Without the accompanying army, disaster relief will never be accomplished. Every official who goes there will die. Even the reasons are ready-made."

Shenlong clicked on the memorial made by the Ministry of Officials to report the death of an official who died "on the way to his post".

No wonder the king of Jiayu County dared to enter the capital without fear. It turned out that he had already been waiting for him.

The author has something to say:

Today, I was ordered by the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor to go on a blind date. I haven't finished writing the speed of life and death in the morning, and it's even later.

With one hand weeping, he lay flat and let himself be mocked.
