The reason why I looked for these documents to read is because they are closely related to each of the six ministries, are inseparable from the many criminal decrees of Dingguo Gongfu that have been sentenced to death, are related to the decrees promulgated in recent months, and will also affect the future of the world.
But Xia Zhaoyi could not have imagined that there would be such a lifeless and ugly greed behind the words.
She closed the book and looked at the fragrant food beside her, without any appetite.
A sentence that the Master once mentioned seemed to ring in my ears. The Master said that in this world, the world is distinct, black and white, priorities, hierarchies, but good and evil are unclear.
Although she now finds the historians ridiculous, from another perspective, she can understand them.
Because the place where historians and ministers stand is high, and class is what they have to spend all their time to describe.
Coloring, solidifying, blocking, preventing benefits from being divided and resources taken away, but below the high place, there are thousands of corpses whose blood and sweat have been sucked away.
The only way to break down these classes is war, but what will happen after the war?
A person who has achieved great success and has all his bones withered, and who climbs to the top by stepping on all the bones, is a new beast that eats raw flesh and blood.
Xia Zhaoyi looked back at the flames on the candle and said, Master, I am confused.
………………
After the incident at Yanyun Mansion, the number of cries in front of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen decreased a lot, but the number of people did not decrease.
Many people sit at the door all day long. Whenever someone from the government comes in or out, they will swarm up and be quickly blocked out by the government officials and guards.
The sky in the morning was filled with clouds and it was going to rain at any time.
A carriage came from the street, and everyone looked up.
Someone recognized it: "It seems to be the carriage of Mr. Lu, Minister of the Ministry of Justice!"
"Master Shangshu!" someone said happily, then got up and ran away.
More and more people are following.
"Master Lu! My father has been arrested for almost a month. When will he be released? He has never done anything bad, he is just an honest storyteller!"
"Our husband has never done any evil, so why was he arrested?"
"Yes! It's been so long, why haven't you let him go yet?"
"How long will they be detained, sir? We can't even send you clothes. It's getting colder and colder. What can they do?"
…
Whatever you do, whatever you want to do, it’s none of my business if you ask me what to do.
Lu Ronghui sat in the carriage with an ugly face.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The coachman waved his whip, "Don't come here!"
Guards and government officials from afar arrived and were working hard to squeeze through the crowd.
"Hey, hey~!" Lu Ronghui said with a kind voice, "Don't be like this, don't hurt them, they are just ordinary people, who allows you to be so rough."
"Yes, sir." the coachman responded.
"My lord is wise, please pray for our lives!"
"Master Lu, my brother is still in prison. He has been arrested for a long time. Master, make the decision for us!"
Lu Ronghui didn't say anything anymore, sitting upright in the carriage, swaying slightly.
The carriage stopped in front of Jingzhao Mansion. The entourage in the carriage got off first and turned around to hold Lu Ronghui.
Lu Ronghui got out of the car, took off his official robe, and walked towards the gate.
Zhu Xian was listless and grading papers.
Liang Nai made a pot of good tea and had just poured it for himself when he heard the Yamen Guards running up and saying that Lu Ronghui was here.
Liang Nai looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Hide it for me. I'll come down and drink it later."
"Yes, sir." Wei Cheng responded.
As soon as Liang Nai left, Manager Wei poured all the tea into his own teapot, added a pot of hot water, and threw in a few of his own cheap tea leaves to brew.
Zhu Xian looked up, lowered his head and said, "I'm still sitting here. Is it appropriate for you to do this in front of me?"
"Hehe, drink good tea when it's time to drink it. If it gets cold, it won't be called good tea," Manager Wei said with a smile, "I don't want to entertain Master Lu with it. This tea has to be cold for two hours. It tastes bad."
Everything has changed.”
"Nonsense, treacherous." Zhu Xian said.
Manager Wei poured a cup and put it in Zhu Xian's hand: "Why are you scolding me? I don't have it all to myself."
Zhu Xian pushed the tea cup aside: "I won't drink."
"Hey, Mr. Lu, come here, are you going to tell us about Li Dongyan?" Manager Wei sat down and said.
This is what has kept Zhu Xian down in recent days.
He said everything he needed to say in front of the emperor. The emperor had a cold face the whole time, and looked at Li Dongyan with extremely disgusting and cold eyes.
Zhu Xian thought that Li Dongyan would not escape death this time, but it has been so many days now, and Li Dongyan is still in the palace, and he heard that he is being imprisoned there.
No punishment, no crime, just being locked up.
This is nothing.
"I don't know." Zhu Xian said, approved another file, sorted it and put it aside, and opened another one.
"Those teachers and storytellers are also miserable," Wei Zhizhang added, "We can't handle them all gathering outside."
Zhu Xian paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Appeasement will be a big mistake. Those who should be famous have no names and are free from justice. However, the nameless people are famous and are still in jail. Now it is your Majesty's own selfish intention and disregard of the law. Then I should
What’s the use of this bad official!”
Wei Zhichen quickly reached out to block his mouth and lowered his voice: "What you said is too loud. Where is this? It's a government office!"
Zhu Xian pushed him away and stood up: "I would rather stay out of the world than violate the Tao. I am resigning!"
Putting down his pen and taking off his hat, he walked outside. Before he reached the door, his steps stopped.
After a moment of silence, he turned back, put his hat back on, and sat down.
"I can't do it," his eyes turned red and he choked, "I have been working so hard for so many years, and I can't do it."
"I almost picked up the adult's hat and put it on," Wei said.
Zhu Xian raised his head and stared.
"I think I will be a good official," Wei Zhicheng picked up the tea cup that Zhu Xian pushed away and took a sip. "If you don't want to be an official, let a good official like me do it. Otherwise, if something happens,
No one should be offended by Mr. Liang, who is trying to get things right and left, and accomplishes nothing good all year round. Or if someone like Lu Ronghui is fat-minded, greedy for fame and wealth, and indulges in pleasure, or if someone like Li Dongyan, who doesn't regard the people as human beings, becomes this official, then what will happen?
It’s really adding insult to injury.”
Zhu Xian said nothing and fell into silence.
"You are not a good official either," Wei Zheng said again. "You act on your own impulse. You say one thing and then another. You are impulsive, impulsive."
Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed.
"Go away." Zhu Xian said, "Go and do your job."
After that, he picked up his pen again and continued reviewing the case and approving the files.
Liang Nai asked someone to make a pot of tea and placed it next to Lu Ronghui's hand.
Liang Nai smiled and said, "Master Lu, you don't have to come in person. You can just send someone to tell me and I will come over."
"I've been so worried lately, it would be good to go out for a walk." Lu Ronghui said, picking up the tea cup and taking a sip.
Liang Nai smiled: "Yes, there are too many things to worry about."
He turned to look at his subordinates on the side and said, "Go and get those cases, and then call in Wei and Li."
