Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 209 Do you still do less things that know the law and break the law?
As a father, King Zhongshan was dereliction of duty. No one needs to refute this point. It doesn’t matter whether Song Yuan made a fool of the governor of Zhaodi on purpose or accidentally smashed it. The possibility of concealment, even if it involves those two, cannot be relentless.

Sikong didn't say a word, and Doctor Yushi finally answered: "The Yushitai is a supervisor. In recent years, it is true that he has neglected local management. It is not the emperor's fault that such an idiot can get mixed up in the post of county guard. Angry, this is simply slapping the court in the face."

There is something in his words. Although he is the confidant of Taikang Emperor among the three princes, Taikang Emperor is an elderly person. Whether it is for himself or his family, he often has to judge the situation and leave room for it. As long as the position is not critical, he will turn a blind eye to the people in the frontier, which is to sell them face.

But they dared to put such an idiot in the position of the sheriff, which was too much.

"Since the problem is found, it should be corrected. Now the Tingwei Mansion is clearing the obstacles for the reform of Tianmu. The two young masters are working separately. No matter what the result is, it is a blessing for Wei to have young people stand up to eliminate the evils. We will wait for it naturally. It’s about helping out.”

Situ's meaning is also very clear. Both the crown prince and King Zhongshan are worthless people. Their only role is to transfer the throne to the next generation, so there is no need to think too much about them. As long as the juniors do things in a down-to-earth manner, the elder Wei still has hope.

Doctor Yushi nodded solemnly, and walked first, Sikong still didn't say a word, only waited for Doctor Yushi to walk away before opening his mouth slowly.

"Young Master Jiu is hard-working, able to distinguish right from wrong, and is a malleable talent, but is the emperor over-hashing? He will only make Young Master Jiu a target of public criticism if he tempers a fledgling young man like this. I don't think King Zhongshan forgot to remind Young Master Jiu of the favor of the palace. The purpose of the relationship is to let the ninth son be this villain, so that he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman himself."

Situ took a deep look at him: "The prince and the prince are insidious and cunning, and the other is mean and ungrateful. The other princes know how to fight for power and profit at a young age. They are indeed well-rounded, but the good things they have done for the people are no match for this young man." So what if he is still fledgling? The popularity he has accumulated now will one day save him from fire and water when he is in prison, and push him to the top."

Situ's admiration for Song Yuan was completely undisguised, and Sikong did not refute after hearing it. He naturally knew how difficult it was for the royal family to produce a down-to-earth descendant, but his worries about Song Yuan were also true.

When he returned to Sikong Mansion, he ordered someone to fetch the files of the governor and lieutenant of Zhaodi. Taking advantage of this gap, he wrote a letter and handed it to his confidant when he returned home in the evening.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Taikang threw the memorabilia of the governor and lieutenant of Zhaodi directly on the prince's face, and all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. Listen to training.

"The crown prince is really astute, and he recruited two crouching dragons and phoenix chicks to take up important positions. I don't know how much the price of the county guard is now? How much profit does the crown prince get from it?" At this time, Emperor Taikang did not forget the sarcasm of yin and yang. wave.

Recommendation to become an official was the main method of selecting officials in the Wei Dynasty. Although talent, learning and morality were all considered, talent, learning and morality were not valued in the way of buying an official. No one dares to put idiots in important positions. At most, they are allowed to stay in idle positions and strive for official titles, which is good for everyone.

This is a matter of public acquiescence. Even if the court repeatedly prohibits it, it cannot stop some people from doing things secretly.

The prince's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to argue: "Your Majesty, calm down, I have carefully questioned these two people when I recommended them, and I have read their articles, but I have not met them in person because I am busy with business. I really don’t know that they are such idiots, the imperial court prohibits the sale of officials, how dare the minister know the law and break the law?”

"Don't you do too many things that know the law and break the law?" Emperor Taikang yelled, and directly blocked the prince's mouth. Just as the king of Zhongshan was about to chuckle, the scolding fell on him: "What did you two do? I don’t know if you’re sizing me up about dirty things? Didn’t I say that I’m trying to hide it from you by doing something in my court to save you some face? I’m old, so I’m not confused.”

The people who were connoted all lowered their heads in panic, not daring to look at Emperor Taikang, which made the courtiers understand who did the dirty things.

Emperor Taikang's vicious and sharp eyes swept over them, and then he looked around at the officials: "The county guard, the lieutenant, the prefect, is in charge of the military, judicial, and civil affairs of a county. Such an important position can make people take advantage of the loopholes. How does Taiwan work?"

As soon as the question was asked, the officials of the two governments hurriedly bowed their heads to Emperor Taikang and apologized.

But his fury didn't end: "Have the crimes of Zhaodi Juncheng been found out?"

Huo Ying stood up and went out: "Return to the emperor, according to the investigation, Dai Mao, the prime minister of Zhaodi, colluded with the local dignitaries, forged the land deeds and lied that he had taken all the fields back to the government, and insisted on planting them on the grounds that the water conservancy had not been repaired. It caused the seedlings to rot and delay farming. Its intention was to frame the imperial envoy Song Yuan for dereliction of duty. After being found out, he tried to destroy the land deed and planted it again. It is true that Dai Mao forged the land deed, and according to the officials of the Zhaodi County Yamen, there are also yin and yang accounts in Zhaodi’s money tax books, and the Sikong Mansion has been notified to verify this matter.”

The prince's heart felt cold again, he raised his head in a panic, just in time to meet Emperor Taikang's eyes that were about to burst into flames: "Who recommends Dai Mao?"

Sikong hurriedly said: "Dai Mao has been an official for 17 years and was once an official of the Eastern Palace."

It was the prince again, and everyone was tense. Before they could do anything, the white jade chi tiger paperweight on the dragon case fell down. If the prince hadn't dodged quickly, he would have suffered a bloody wound on the spot.

"The emperor calm down." The princelings immediately rushed out to intercede, and the faces of the others changed greatly in fright.

The prince looked at the sunken paperweight on the ground, his face was as white as paper, and he was terrified at the furious Emperor Taikang.

"Enjoy the support of the people, but you can't benefit the people. You, the prince of the East Palace, is the heir of a country, and you don't feel that you are not worthy of this position?" Emperor Taikang stared, and asked sharply, the prince's face became paler.

The entire court was silent, and even King Zhongshan, who wanted to watch the excitement, was frightened. These words were not only questioning the prince, but also questioning him.

"You..." Emperor Taikang pointed at the prince and kept shaking his hands. After staggering a few steps, he pointed at King Zhongshan again: "You guys."
