Chapter 320 Zhu Gaojie: What is the way to be an official?
Zhang Chun said in a deep voice: "Little friend, you are very good at talking."
Yu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
After all, Su Wu couldn't help but chuckle.
This Yu Qian is really fierce.
No wonder he was appreciated by His Highness and accepted as his student. They are all the same kind of people.
Zhang Chun couldn't help but warn: "Little friend, you have such a strong character, you will suffer a lot in the future. Officials must know how to live in harmony with the light. If you are so independent, I am afraid that in a hundred years there will not even be anyone who burns paper money."
Yu Qian said calmly: "It doesn't matter if no one burns paper money. I'm used to being poor, so I will do what I should."
"Okay, okay."
Zhang Chun said three good words in a row and managed to squeeze out a smile, but he was extremely angry in his heart: "You should do what you do. I have said it all. Since you insist on going your own way, I will no longer advise you. Let's wait and see."
He turned around and left with a puff of sleeves, already remembering the name Yu Qian in his heart.
Yu Qian, a small master of ceremonies at Zuo Chunfang, do you really think that with the crown prince protecting you, no one can do anything to you?
If I really want to touch you, there are ten thousand ways to make you die without a place to die!
Su Wu looked at Zhang Chun's back and said to Qian: "Yu Qian, a big tree attracts the wind. In Beijing, I protect you and the prince protects you, but if you act like this, sooner or later you will fall."
Yu Qian pointed to his eyes and said: "My eyes are born with sharp eyes. Physiographically speaking, they are 'looking at the old age and exciting the sharp eyes'. The characteristic of the year is that the eyes often look up to the birds and socks, and will not follow other people's eyes."
As the name suggests, you will see the knife fall on your head and die a violent death."
Su Wu was speechless for a moment and said: "That's fine, I can't persuade you."
Yu Qian smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't lie to him just now."
"Didn't you lie to him?"
"I showed him his face just now, and what I said is true. I looked at this picture of spring eyebrows surrounding a dark room. If there is a bright red looming in the middle, there should really be a bloody disaster."
Su Wu said in surprise: "You really know how to read faces?"
Yu Qian was a little puzzled: "Why did you say this?"
Suddenly, a group of people poured out in front of the gate of the Academy of Literature. Different from the Academy of Literature students who were wearing red official robes, this group of people were wearing light armor and holding knives in their hands. They were so arrogant that they rushed out of the crowd.
On the way, it attracted public anger.
They rushed all the way to Zhang Chun and surrounded him.
A man with a knife looked up and down and asked, "Are you Zhang Chun?"
Zhang Chun was a little confused: "I am Zhang Chun, the Right Chief Minister of Shanxi Province. Who is your Excellency?"
"Jinyiwei Zhang Muzhi."
The man raised his hand and shouted, "Come on, take down Zhang Chun!"
A group of knife-wielding men pushed Zhang Chun to the ground, causing everyone to make noises and a commotion.
No one expected that such a joke would happen before the liberal arts college started classes.
Zhang Chun struggled and said angrily: "You are so brave. In front of important officials from two capitals and 17 provinces, you want to arrest a second-grade imperial official without reason. Who gave you the courage!"
"There is a madman like you at the feet of the Emperor. Is there any law? Is there any law?"
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Muzhi raised his hand to signal everyone to slow down, walked up to Zhang Chun who was pushed to the ground, and said calmly, "Master Zhang, don't slander others with empty words. Today we can
You have to speak clearly, otherwise I, Jin Yiwei, will be unreasonable."
"Tell me what your mother is like!"
Zhang Chun was depressed by Yu Qian's rebuke. At this moment, he was pressed down inexplicably. The anger in his chest was completely unbearable, "Do you fucking know who I am!"
Zhang Muzhi tilted his head and asked, "Who is he?"
The guard in brocade clothes beside him said: "Shanxi Chief Envoy Si You Chief Envoy, Zhang Chun."
"Yes, isn't it him we arrested?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let's take the person away."
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly a man walked out from the crowd, and when he took a closer look, he turned out to be Zhou Jing, Shanxi's Left Chief Envoy, and the head of Shanxi's Chief Envoy.
Zhou Jing bowed her hands to Zhang Muzhi, "Friend, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. The adults in the DPRK are all present today. If you wait for no reason, you will arrest a second-rank official of our DPRK. I'm afraid
Isn’t that a bit unjustifiable?”
Zhang Muzhi felt a little confused: "Who are you?"
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said: "I, Zhou Jing, have been appointed as the Chief Envoy of Shanxi Province, Si Zuo. It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you are so arrogant and want to capture a Chief Envoy. You must give me some help."
Let us Shanxi officials give an explanation."
"Oh - give me an explanation, okay, I'll give you an explanation."
Zhang Muzhi sneered, took out a yellow piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to the Jin Yiwei beside him, "This is the arrest warrant written by the Crown Prince himself, read it!"
The Jin Yiwei on the side took the arrest warrant and read: "Shanxi Chief Secretary Zhou Jing, the left chief envoy, Zhang Chun, the right chief envoy, and Li Chong, the political counselor. Zhang Lin is guilty. I ordered the Jin Yiwei to command the Qianshi Zhang Muzhi to treat them one by one and wait for their fate.
!”
Zhang Muzhi nodded slightly: "Okay, the prisoner will come to the door himself."
Everyone in Zhou Jing was dumbfounded.
Co-author: This is not to find fault with Zhang Chun alone, but to wipe out all the senior officials of the Shanxi Chief Envoy Department!
Damn Zhang Chun, teammate, you are probably not the undercover agent sent by the prince to our Shanxi Chief Envoy Department!
Seeing the Jin Yiwei coming over and arresting the Shanxi Chief Envoys one by one, Zhou Jing said quickly: "Sir, wait a minute! I still have something to say!"
Zhang Muzhi frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you? Can't you finish your last words at once? You have to procrastinate."
Zhou Jing asked: "Sir, I don't know what crime I am guilty of, why do you think I am guilty?"
Zhang Muzhi shrugged: "Don't you know what you have done yourself? There are stacks and stacks of letters from the Shanxi Provincial Supervisor and Censor reporting you in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Jin Yiwei went to check them casually and found out one
There are loads of evidence of your crimes. Let’s not be in a hurry, follow me to Zhao Prison, and I will tell you the evidence of your crimes in detail."
Metropolitan Procuratorate?
Zhang Chun, who was pinned to the ground, suddenly realized something and looked in horror at the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zuo Du Yushi Su Wu.
Su Wu noticed Zhang Chun's gaze and smiled at him. His smile was like a spring breeze, harmless to humans and animals.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His lips moved slightly, as if to say:
Mr. Zhang, what a bloody disaster.
…
After Zhou Jing, Zhang Chun and their group were arrested, the whole place fell silent.
What a good start!
It's just that the touch of red that opens the door is a touch of bright red, which is really unflattering.
On the first day of the liberal arts academy, there were four missing students and they were escorted to Zhao Prison on the spot. What kind of further training in the liberal arts academy was this? This was a life-and-death battle in the liberal arts academy!
Yu Qian whispered: "You knew a long time ago that Zhang Chun and the others were going to be arrested?"
Su Wu smiled slightly and said, "As you think."
Yu Qian asked: "Do you know what I am thinking?"
Su Wu stepped forward and patted Yu Qian on the shoulder: "Young man, being a good person is not enough. You still have more to learn. The liberal arts college is quite suitable for people like you. You can learn a lot of useful things."
Killing chickens to scare monkeys is the "opening ceremony" prepared by Zhu Gaojie for the first batch of students in the liberal arts college.
The liberal arts academy is different from the martial arts academy. In the martial arts academy, when Zhu Gaojie and Zhu Di stop there when school starts, their own performance is the best deterrent.
As for the students of the Academy of Arts, these buddies are so bold that ordinary intimidation methods are ineffective. Compared with the arrogant soldiers of the Academy of Martial Arts, the civil servants are bolder and more difficult to deal with. You and
They talk about fists, and they reason with you. If you reason with them, they are unreasonable.
Therefore, some unreasonable methods must be used against these people.
Zhu Gaojie had already collected all the evidence against the Shanxi Chief Envoy and his party, but he just kept it secret and waited for these people to arrive at the Academy of Arts for the time being. Then he swarmed up and ordered the Jin Yiwei to crouch in advance and arrest these people one by one.
If you arrest someone in front of all the students in the liberal arts college, how can the remaining students not be heartbroken?
Just asking you if you are afraid!
…
A group of students from the liberal arts college waited anxiously for the liberal arts college to open, fearing that they would be caught inside.
It is said that a person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow, but in the officialdom, an upright person is also afraid of a slanted shadow.
After reaching this level, who can confidently pat their chests and say that they are so clean that there are no shadows under their feet?
Even if you have no shadow, others can fabricate a shadow for you and put you to death.
Unless it's a stupid young man like Yu Qian.
After everyone stepped into the Academy of Literature, Zhu Gaojie was already waiting behind the door with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Welcome to the Academy of Arts, everyone."
"I am your dean. In the next three months, I will be in charge of your further training courses."
Yu Qian was the first to bow and salute: "Hello, sir!"
The liberal arts students present were all very smart people and responded quickly. They quickly imitated Yu Qian and bowed: "Hello, sir!"
Yu Qian curled his lips secretly.
I call you sir because the prince is really my husband.
Why don't you call me Hammer?
…
Only then did Zhu Gaojie discover something that made his balls hurt.
It was a bit hasty when I promised Yang Rong to concurrently serve as the dean of the Academy of Arts.
The opening of the Martial Arts Academy was less than a month earlier than that of the Liberal Arts Academy. The two academies were established one after another. The courses in the Martial Arts Academy were basically taught by him alone. There was no way, the old man didn't care.
Now he has to run back and forth. In the morning, he goes to the Martial Arts Academy to teach "On the War of the Ming Dynasty" to a group of generals, and in the afternoon, he has to go to the Arts Academy to attend classes. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to return to the East Palace. The night is long, and he can only
Keep your hands company.
Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?
But at first I agreed simply and neatly, now I have to bite the bullet and get the job done.
Snapped!
A loud bang woke up everyone in the classroom.
Zhu Gaojie stood on the podium and said: "Class!"
…
"Today we will teach the first lesson."
Zhu Gaojie picked up his pen and wrote on the blackboard, "First of all, let me ask you a word."
He wrote the word "official" on the blackboard, turned around and looked at everyone: "What is official?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally one person stood up.
After the man stood up, he did not answer immediately, but bowed respectfully, and then slowly said: "The only way to be an official is to do three things: purity, prudence, and diligence. Knowing these three, you can secure your position.
, you can stay away from humiliation, you can gain knowledge from above, and you can get help from below. However, the benevolent people in this world cannot control themselves when it comes to financial matters. They often think that they will not lose. If they hold on to the idea that they will not lose, they will do anything."
Zhu Gaojie nodded slightly and asked: "What is the student's name and any official position?"
The man said: "Student Fu Bo'an is appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Zhu Gaojie glanced at the paper in front of him and waved to the Minister of Industry: "Please sit down."
Someone poked their head to find out what was written on the paper that the prince was reading just now, but the distance was too far and the words were too small to see clearly.
If you look at it from Zhu Gaojie's perspective, you can see a string of names written on the small piece of paper in front of him, followed by a string of deeds.
"Fu Bo'an, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, was verified by the Tax Supervisory Office and found to have evaded 74,000 taels of taxes. Most of the projects he handled were made of gold wadding on the outside, but the inside was ruined."
As expected, Fu Bo'an was sentenced to death in Zhu Gaojie's heart.
Execution in prison is also known as "suspended death".
"What Bo'an just said is the way of being an official written in the book. Officials do not fear my strictness but fear my integrity. People do not obey my ability but obey my public. If I am honest, the officials will not dare to be arrogant. If I am honest, the people will not dare to do so.
Bullying. Honesty breeds wisdom, honesty breeds authority, but I don’t agree with it.”
Zhu Gaojie said slowly, "Let me briefly explain what I understand as the way to be an official."
"People often say that the more books you read and the more knowledge you accumulate, the more you can become a good official. Of course, a good official must be promoted."
"But actually, promotion has nothing to do with knowledge?"
"The key factor in promotion is the relationship background, whether you have a bargaining chip with the Shangguan, whether the Shangguan promotes you and whether it will be of any real benefit to him, and other business abilities and conduct are secondary, or in other words, just a pretense, a pretense.
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was speechless.
Can you say this?
Anyone who can listen to Zhu Gaojie's lecture in this classroom understands this truth. Of course, Yu Qian is not among them. He is qualified to come here to attend the lecture because of his nepotism. However, it is obvious that Yu Qian does not seem to understand the truth behind this.
However, the truth is clear and clear, but these words cannot be said.
This is an unspoken rule in official circles. If you say these words openly, it is equivalent to giving everyone a loud slap in the face.
Say these words...who instructs you? What is your purpose!
so bad!
When you say that, aren't you trying to teach everyone how to be corrupt officials? What kind of liberal arts college is this? This is clearly the "Imperial Academy for the Training of Professional Qualities for Corrupt Officials"!
Where are the corrupt officials?
You must not slander Your Excellency with empty words. All of you here are old parents and upright officials. Each person has a high salary. How can there be corrupt officials!
"Hehehe..."
At this critical moment, someone couldn't help but chuckle, attracting everyone's attention.
The person who laughed was none other than Yu Qian.
He stood up, clapped his hands and applauded: "Well done, sir, the students have been taught."
Zhu Gaojie smiled slightly: "Sit down. Next time you speak, remember to report first, otherwise you will be punished."
Yu Qian sat down honestly: "The student has realized his mistake."
"As the saying goes, it is better to remain silent than to speak a thousand words. To put it bluntly, work to death but keep your mouth shut. This is the knowledge of being a slave. You can speak if you want, but kowtow as much as possible and call the Lord wise."
Zhu Gaojie said leisurely, "This way of serving as an official can ensure that all of you, sir, will have a smooth career... and that you will die without a burial place!"
"You all started your career by reading the books of sages. Sage Confucius taught us. Is it possible that he just wanted to become a corrupt official?"
