Chapter 258: quick knife

Popular recommendation:

"Li Xiang, we said that this matter has two layers. I talked about the superficial fur. For the rest, I'm afraid I will trouble Li Xiang."

Zhang Ximeng calmly returned to his seat and bowed his hands to Li Shanchang.

Seeing Zhang Ximeng salute, Li Shanchang hurriedly stood up. Surprisingly, Li Xi and Xia Yu also stood up, and their upper bodies were slightly tilted, respecting them like teachers and sages.

That's right, they felt that behind Zhang Ximeng's head, a bodhisattva-like halo was indeed born. As for why he didn't reach the realm of Buddha, it depends on whether Zhang Ximeng can stand still.

But there is no doubt that the changes brought by Zhang Ximeng so far can be said to be earth-shaking.

So when Zhang Ximeng sat down, the two of them just stood behind them, like two generals humming.

Don't be too tired to stand, how many people want to stand here, soaked in immortal energy, but they still don't have that blessing!

Li Shanchang is also convincing. Although words cannot solve practical problems, powerful principles can increase the power of actions tenfold.

At this moment, Li Shanchang is enough to defecate at will on the moral high ground.

"Wei Han, Huang Xiu, Li Tianbo, Sui Zhiyuan... You are all Confucian elders in Jinling City. You are quite famous, and you are all opposed to letting women do things. At this moment, what are your thoughts?"

The backs of these few people were already not so straight, and most of their momentum had disappeared, but they were still unwilling to admit defeat.

"Zhang Xiang deceives people. It is really rare in the world. But we uphold the way of Confucius and Mencius, the way of sages and sages, and die for Confucius and Mencius, and I will die without regrets!"

"Take it!"

Li Shanchang was not afraid at all, and said directly: "Take the old Weihan down!"

With his order, as expected, a soldier rushed up and directly held Wei Han down, "Kneel down!"

How could the old man withstand the pressure of the soldiers, so he could only kneel on one knee, he tried his best to hold his neck high, and said with grief and indignation: "Insulting gentle, gentle sweeping! Prime Minister Li, you are also a scholar! And Li Shangshu, you are not afraid of Shilin Stoke your spine?"

When he heard someone call him, Li Xi held his chest high and laughed, "Just now, Zhang Xiang has already made the words clear and explained the truth thoroughly. I thought about it, there may be people who didn't understand it, so they dared to talk about their experience. What's wrong, please ask Zhang Xiang to point out."

Zhang Ximeng smiled at Li Xi, indicating that he could continue.

Li Xi seemed to have been inspired, and a force poured out of his body.

"Zhang Xiang said that it is naturally good for ordinary people to let women come out to do things. Who wouldn't want to? These are the people!" Li Xi pointed at a few elders, and then said, "Why don't they agree? All the hype, in the final analysis, it's still for selfish interests!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Su Ru Sui Zhiyuan roared: "Li Xi, you, you study with me, you have the friendship of the same family, you are so nonsense, are you not afraid of deceiving your teachers and destroying your ancestors, and you will be struck by lightning?"

Li Xi laughed, "I was really afraid in the past, but today, I'm not afraid anymore, because I know that the law of heaven is on our side! The last time Zhang Xiang talked to us about the past and present, he said that the Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, a thousand Over the years, the road of sharing the world with scholars and officials has come to an end. Now, if we want to rejuvenate China, we must find a new road. And this new road is to share the world with all the people, so the new ruler of the world must uphold the Mandate of Heaven, allotment of farmland... At that time, I was a little hesitant and didn't understand the reason. But today, I have a little understanding. If the scholar-officials are not good, it's not that who is a bad person among you, but your choice. It's not good for this world, and what you think is not good for the people!"

"Li Xi, you, you are getting more and more mad!" Sui Zhiyuan gasped and asked, "Do you also think you should condone women? Let the chicken be Sichen, the ruler is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. ...Where did you put Tsunade? What do you say?"

Li Xi was not afraid, "Thank you for mentioning the word "Gangchang". These three guidelines and five constants originated from Dong Zhongshu, and it was the beginning of the king and the scholar-officials sharing the world. Since this road is broken and a new path has to be taken, the guidelines should be re-established. , old, out of date, it should be changed!"

Li Xi turned his head, the two prime ministers were sitting upright, Zhang Ximeng looked as usual, and Li Shan nodded frequently, as if expressing appreciation.

Li Xi immediately said: "Li Xiang, once upon a time, from the county government office to the Ministry of Punishment, everyone thought this case was difficult and difficult to handle. But now Silai is nothing more than being locked up by Gangchang's hands and feet, trapped in his head... We are cocooning ourselves, The painted ground has become a prison. Now that Zhang Xiang has untied the prison, we are fearless!"

"According to the lower official's point of view, it is still the responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment to re-determine the rules and regulations. In the final analysis, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment. We should formulate new laws as soon as possible to avoid the situation of being at a loss."

Hearing this, Li Shanchang nodded again and again.

"Li Shangshu really talked about the key points, and since that's the case, I will also say a few words." Li Shanchang sneered: "Wei Han, because of your own selfish interests, you encouraged the Han family and the couple to disrupt the military uniform workshop. This is your first priority. It's a big crime. You bought the clerk of the yamen to support you, this is the second big crime. Then you even formed gangs, made nonsense, disturbed the big government, and the means were despicable, and your heart was punishable!"

"With these three crimes, no one can save you! Immediately enter the prison, behead!"

Li Shanchang raised the murder knife without hesitation.

"Song Gui, you are the county magistrate of Jiangning, you should distinguish right from wrong and decide for the people, but you are incompetent, obedient to faith, and do nothing. Immediately remove your official position and go to jail until your corruption is thoroughly investigated. , deal with it together!"

After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he turned his attention to Li Xi and Xia Yu again.

"In this case, the Yingtian government and the Ministry of Punishment have all acted sluggishly and did nothing. If you think about it, you two yamen also have people who colluded, talking nonsense, and interfering with government affairs. Let's investigate now and bring these people to justice. The law. After checking it out, you are allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, but if you don't know it, you will be charged with the crime together!"

"Xiaoguan knows!" The two agreed in unison.

Then Li Shanchang said again: "Jiangning county government, all scribes and yamen who have contact with Wei Han will be thrown into prison, waiting for a thorough investigation... As for the others, those who worked in the yamen fifteen years ago will be dismissed immediately. Within seven days, an official examination will be held to fill the vacancy."

Li Shanchang's hair fell in a large circle, and finally his eyes fell on a few senior Shilin seniors, with a faint sneer on his face, "You are famous, your family has property, you have no worries about food and clothing, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you are friends with powerful people. , swaying Shilin's discussions, and even dare to contend against the big politics... This world is yours, isn't it?"

Li Shanchang suddenly roared, "If you take it down, it will be thoroughly investigated! It is not allowed to tolerate rape!"

Merchants, petty officials, Confucian scholars, officials... From top to bottom, Li Shanchang never let go. When the people in the hall heard this, they all cheered and applauded in unison to Master Qingtian!

Including Ma Shi, who was listening next to him, even stood up and nodded at Li Shanchang with a smile, his appreciation was beyond words.

The case has reached this stage, and Ma can see it clearly.

This is not a simple question of whether women can enter the workshop to do things, but a thousand years of accumulated habits.

Among the old habits, scholars from Shilin, officials of the imperial court, and wealthy merchants and tycoons were the most lucrative group of people.

Unsurprisingly, this group of people banded together to resist change.

Fortunately, it was Zhang Ximeng who caught the group of people out.

Knowing where the problem is, it's easy to get a knife.

What I am most afraid of is a mess. Everyone says that there are many difficulties and too many resistances, and it is impossible to start, and then it will be gone. This is the most important thing.

Now that Li Shanchang has the aura of cutting the mess with a quick knife, he can finally make people feel at ease.

"Girl, what are you afraid of this time?"

Ma Shi smiled and looked at Han Xiuniang next to her. The girl's face was flushed. When had she seen such a big scene? When she thought that she was alone, she had led to such a thing, so many arguments, and even someone was awarded for it. Sin was killed, her heart was beating wildly, and she was uneasy.

But she still has worries, that is, so many people have dealt with it, only her parents, what should I do?

Ma saw her concern and said proactively: "Don't be afraid, they are just two scumbags, and they are not worthy of being with this group of people, don't worry, at most suffer a little, understand some truths, and avoid getting old. Still confused!"

Han Xiuniang nodded vigorously, her heart finally letting go.

"Husband, madam, when will the workshop start?"

Ma couldn't help but smile, "What's the matter, can't wait?"

Han Xiuniang blushed and said: "Well, at these times, the family is not at peace, and I have been sick for a while. Start work earlier, and make more money to make the family feel better."

The family she was talking about naturally refers to her husband's family. Her in-laws have been criticized for her affairs.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

I have been a good and honest person all my life. At this age, people can't stand it. No one can stand it.

She didn't have anything in return, she just wanted to make more money, eat better, and dress better. Only by living a better life could she shut up those scumbags!

Ma Shi nodded, "I know what you're thinking, but you have to do what you can, go home and rest for a few days, take care of your body, and come back later. Don't worry, from now on, there will be more good days! No one can delay us from getting rich and living a good life, don't you think?"

"Yeah!" Han Xiuniang nodded vigorously, all her worries disappeared, and her face was full of smiles.

For Han Xiuniang, the troubled case has finally been resolved, and she can start a new life with confidence.

But the impact of this case has only just begun.

After Li Shanchang returned to Zhongshu Province, he immediately invited Zhang Ximeng. The two sat opposite each other. Old Li was very enthusiastic.

"Zhang Xiang, I won't say anything else, but I want to ask you for help, write down these principles, and then send them to all officials, including me, to study them carefully and understand them carefully!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Thank you, Brother Li, for looking up to it, but I want to say, should I send it to the lord first, and the lord nodded, so we can let it go?"

Li Shanchang didn't hesitate, "Yes, of course, I have to tell the superior about such a big thing."
