Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 9 Tips!

"Guiyuan?"

Wu Xiuzheng and Su Xian were sitting in the small courtyard.

When she heard the sound, she quickly looked over. The study door was open, and she could easily see Su Guiyuan slumped down.

Wu Xiu quickly ran into the study.

When I went to see my husband, I sat slumped on the ground, my eyes dull, and my hands were just holding the letters that had fallen on the ground, and my fingers were shaking again and again.

Su Xian noticed.

My mother's attention was all on her father, and she was shouting things like "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

But see you next moment.

Su Guiyuan's consciousness seemed to be called back.

He just looked again.

But his hands were shaking more and more violently.

"This...what is this?"

"These...why are these all here?"

"Why is the memorial I wrote to the Holy One all night here?"

"What? Memorial?" Mother suddenly came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head to look until she saw clearly.

She was also completely confused.

"Why is what you wrote here?"

"I want to know too!"

"Then what Xian'er gave them is..."

Just this sentence.

Both of them seemed to react,
  Su Guiyuan reached out and picked up all the letters on the ground.

He quickly looked out the door.

But they saw their son standing at the door, blinking at them with big eyes.

Seems very innocent.

"It's over!"

Su Guiyuan is not a fool, and the son he raised knows this.

If my son looks like this, he must be doing something troublesome. This is what happens when neighbors come to visit him.

Just staring at you with that indescribable look.

But what is the petty quarrel between ordinary neighbors?
  Now this is a matter of life and death!
  Su Guiyuan patted his head eagerly, walked up quickly, and looked at Su Xian, "My little ancestor, don't tell me that you found a bunch of unwanted letters and stuffed them in!"

Su Xian waved his hand, "That's not true."

Su Guiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, who knew that the next moment, his tone would rise again.

"I wrote it myself and handed it in."

"What! Did you write it?"

Boom!
  Su Guiyuan sat directly on the ground, his eyes dull and his expression frightened.

But he still looked outside the door subconsciously. The noise at home should not be too loud, otherwise they would hear it and there would be no room for recovery!

But how to save it now?

"Do you think you're doing your homework?"

Su Guiyuan wanted to look up to the sky and shout, but he opened his mouth and had no choice but to close it.

"That's it! That's all! It's really over now!"

Su Guiyuan knew very well that what he wrote and what his son wrote were completely different.

My son's handwriting is very easy to read, no matter how messy it is.

If His Majesty saw it when he was reviewing and approving the memorial...

Thinking about that scene, he felt cold all over.

but.

At this time, I can only think of a random reason.

Even if he is wrongly accused, it is still a crime of corruption.

He is not afraid of corruption, and it is not about punishing the Nine Clans.

Previously, he was afraid that if he was convicted and his house was ransacked, his wife and children would be imprisoned or exiled. Then he hurriedly ran back and asked the mother-in-law to leave the capital quickly, maybe they could avoid the disaster.

After all, the prison is dark and dirty, and my son has always loved to be clean since he was a child. Even when he was two or three years old, he was as fair as a porcelain doll.

If he really went to jail, how could he endure it?
  There is also a journey of exile. Although spring has begun, what should I do if my wife and children are infected with the cold?
  Thinking of this, he felt bitter in his heart.

If I hadn't done this "inspection" of Lao Shizi, would I have fallen into this bloody case of empty seals?
  If your son is naughty, then he is naughty.

Although my son is smart, he is really courageous!

But then again...

The Holy Emperor must not be allowed to know that this was written by his son, otherwise, the current emperor's reputation for cruelty and bloodthirsty would make him shudder just thinking about it.

What should I do?
  Did your handwriting change because you were afraid?
  No no no!

Did you just write it casually when you were drunk?

Either way, it’s a dead end anyway, so it doesn’t matter!

Thinking about it.

Su Guiyuan began to think about a more suitable reason in his heart.

Su Xian looked at his father's silent expression and thought he was still in panic.

"Dad, don't think about it. If you really follow what you wrote, you will be dead." "Your Majesty will definitely not let anyone involved in the empty seal case go. You are not joking!"

Su Xian muttered softly.

In fact, he felt a little guilty because his father stayed up all night and his hard work was undone by him.

But no way.

He knows the direction of the Ming Dynasty Kongyin case.

I also know the wonderful use of "Children's Words are Wuji".

In fact, with the blessing of this "Children's Wuji", all the emotions and growth experiences he had accumulated in the previous world for nearly twenty years were wiped out.

The only thing I have is the knowledge and memory of those twenty years.

And because of this, he has also fully integrated into the behavioral patterns of his current age.

It can be said that he is a six-year-old child himself.

The more consistent they are, the greater the effect of "Children's Words Will Be Unbridled".

And he had made up his mind.

If this matter can be resolved safely, my father will quickly find a way to get promoted and secure his position no matter what. In this way, you can also have more entries.

When others become officials, the higher they go, the greater the risk.

But as long as you are alone, risks and opportunities coexist!

As long as I touch an entry like "related to peace", then I will be the most handsome boy in the Hongwu period!
  And just when Su Xian was thinking this.

"My child, you are fooling around. Although you are smart, you know that this situation cannot be changed. But you must also understand that nothing in this world cannot be changed."

Su Guiyuan explained in a low voice: "Our emperor, even though he came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, the founding monarch has unparalleled prestige, but we still have to give in to the general trend."

"This case involves nearly ten thousand ministers of the Ming Dynasty! Why would Your Majesty choose to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"What's more, hundreds of officials will stop it... His Majesty will never go on a killing spree."

Listening to my father's nagging voice.

Su Xian was thinking about something else.

He thought about the last paragraph he wrote in the memorial.

Although his grievances are expounded throughout the memorial, the core part is in the last paragraph.

Only by embodying the corresponding value can we completely separate ourselves from the empty seal case.

As said before…

Historically, after the Kongyin Case ended, Emperor Hongwu did not find any way to improve the Kongyin Case.

In the end, all we can do is impose regulations, and officials at all levels will follow the rules.

However, the difficulties brought about were far beyond what he imagined. It was just that the officials had to make more trips.

It is the "loss" that many, many people have paid for this.

Thinking of this, Su Xian looked at his father seriously.

"It's already like this anyway. Rather than complaining, it's better to think of countermeasures."

"Countermeasures? What countermeasures?" Su Guiyuan was confused.

Su Xian asked: "Why did the Holy One set off this empty seal case?"

Su Guiyuan said: "To deceive the Holy Lord, there is no room for sand in the eyes of this Holy Lord today. In a fit of anger, he became furious."

At this point, he elaborated on his point of view, "However, Your Majesty will figure it out."

Got it!

Su Xian patted his head.

I could only change the question, "Yesterday Mr. Li told me that officials from all over the country have their own reasons for stamping empty seals. This rule is even accepted by everyone in the officialdom. Dad, you might as well think of a way to relieve these difficulties."

“It’s the best of both worlds that can reassure the Holy One and keep all the officials from running around!”

"Once you figure it out, maybe everything will be fine."

"After all, your Majesty can't really watch from now on. Officials from various places are running here and there again because of discrepancies in the accounts, right? Isn't the money and food spent on the road the wealth of the people?"

Su Guiyuan shook his head directly, "You kid, you have such a wonderful idea, how can you have both ends of the world?"

"The solution is figured out by people!"

Su Xian whispered: "Anyway, I wrote it in the memorial. Dad, you have a way."

"What?" Su Guiyuan was startled, "What can I do?"

"Aren't I giving instructions?"

“If you solve a problem and think it through, maybe the answer will be there.”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for his father to speak.

Su Xian said bluntly: "If mother gave you one or two silver coins and asked you to buy groceries, how can you reassure mother that you didn't take more from it?"

Su Guiyuan said subconsciously: "Of course your mother will feel relieved after so many years of relationship."

Su Xian was speechless and said, "Is it possible that the relationship between Emperor Hongwu and officials from all over the country has been the same as yours and your mother's for decades?"

Su Guiyuan was surprised. He couldn't figure out what was strange in this.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly!
  "Bang" sound.

The door, which was originally ajar, was kicked open.

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Hubu government office, Zhaomo Institute of Ninth Grade Inspection, Su Guiyuan!"

Su Guiyuan raised his head suddenly.

The next moment, the person who came didn't say much, let alone explain, only two words.

"take away!"
