Chapter 317 Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it
On the way back, Cao Nai looked strange and hesitated many times.
When Zhu Qizhen saw this, he said, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."
Cao Nai thought for a while and then said: "The emperor is considerate of the people. This is a blessing to all people in the world. I am very pleased, but..."
"But what?"
"The veteran feels that the emperor is the king of a country and should focus on national affairs. As for these side issues, such as Liu San's scandal, someone will take care of them, so there is no need to trouble the emperor to personally intervene..."
Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked: "What is a national event?"
Cao Nai replied: "As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. The king has his way as a king, his ministers have their way as ministers, and the people naturally have their way as common people. What the emperor has to do is to strategize, and what the ministers have to do is to guide the emperor.
The decree has been implemented layer by layer, and what the people have to do is to implement it concretely. There are county yamen for trial. If the people feel that the county yamen's trial is unfair, they can also go to the government yamen to file a complaint. Above the government yamen, there is also the Ministry of Punishment. If the emperor
Even if you have to do such small things personally, with all due respect, it’s a bit... putting the cart before the horse."
In fact, he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and today he finally couldn't help but express them out loud.
It's a good thing that the emperor is considerate of the people, but you can't have to personally deal with everything, right?
There are tens of millions of people in the world, can you manage them?
Zhu Qi smiled calmly and asked again: "You have witnessed the whole process of this case with your own eyes. If I turn a deaf ear, Shuntian Mansion will settle the case with false accusations. Not only will Liu San die in vain, but his family will not be able to clear up the case, and even
Peng Qing's family and the crew members will also be implicated. Isn't this a trivial matter?"
Cao Nai looked guilty and said: "This matter is indeed a dereliction of duty by me. After I return, I will immediately discuss a charter with relevant people from the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Punishment, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple to prevent such a thing from happening again."
.However, I still want to say that after all, it is just a private scandal, and it is not worth the emperor’s personal efforts.”
His meaning is very clear. Although we are wrong, this is not the reason for you to go out every day.
You are the emperor, so just stay in the palace and review memorials.
If anything happens, there will naturally be a corresponding person to handle it, and you can’t mess with the rules.
Otherwise, if you go to check the memorials every day, who will review the memorials?
Who do we report to when we encounter national events?
I am the chief minister of the cabinet, not the supervisor of the country. If you are not in the palace and something suddenly happens, who will make the decision?
Facing Cao Nai's advice, Zhu Qizhen slowly shook his head.
"Cao Qing, I'm here to ask you, isn't Liu San's life a big deal? Human life is at stake. Liu San's family of three, all three of their lives were in vain. Who can their wronged souls look to for justice?"
Cao Nai had no choice but to say: "I admit that this incident reflects some problems in the officialdom. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will make rectifications as soon as possible."
】
"The officialdom needs to be rectified, but it is not as simple as rectifying a Changping County or a Shuntian Prefecture. I believe that what needs to be rectified now is the hearts of those officials. Are they officials for power, money, or the common people? Now
Now that the national treasury is abundant, I have never deducted the salary of officials. However, there are still many people like Wang Ying of Changping County who are blind to money. How should we rectify these?"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This world is my world, and it is also the world of the people. If the officials only think about making money, how can the world be stable? Every year we call for rectification of the officialdom and go to the Procuratorate.
Check here, check there, check here and there, has the officialdom changed?"
"What I want to rectify is the human heart. They say parents are officials, parents are officials. What is parents' official? Whose parents behave like this when they see their children being wronged? Cao Qing, if it is your son and he finds that his family has been killed, he will
I went to file a complaint, but I was falsely accused and lost my life for nothing. Are you willing to see it?"
Cao Nai's face was very ugly. My son's family has died, isn't that me?
I'm just discussing it with you, there's no need to curse me to death...
However, he also fully understood that the emperor had made up his mind, and he could not persuade him with just a few words.
Since the battle of Tumubao, the emperor seems to have changed.
In the past, although he was more stubborn and favored Wang Zhen, he was still able to listen to the advice of other officials.
At least in terms of face, I won’t refute directly, and my attitude is so firm.
Having said that, if you think carefully about what the emperor said, there is indeed some truth to it.
It's just... it's too idealistic. As the saying goes, a general's achievements are worthless, especially for a king. In many cases, human life is worthless.
Zhu Qizhen saw that he was deep in thought and did not continue to speak.
After all, in this era, human life is nothing, who cares about the life of an ordinary person?
Take your time, it always takes a process.
"By the way, Cao Qing, do you still remember the bet between us?"
Cao Nai looked confused, why did he suddenly go to the bet?
I just said that you, the emperor, should be more serious and focus on national affairs. What are you betting on?
"Back to the emperor, I seem to remember that the emperor once said that Longsheng Bank was a liar, and that Longsheng Bank would be revealed within five days without using force. It is already the second day, and there are still three more days.
Day."
"In my opinion, it won't take three days!"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head slightly and said: "It's almost time, this old fox's tail will be exposed soon."
Cao Nai was puzzled and asked: "I ordered someone to inquire this morning. The business of Longsheng Bank is very large and the business scope is very wide. Moreover, the capital transactions are increasing steadily every day. It is said that yesterday afternoon, I received a
A mysterious big order with an astonishing amount."
Zhu Qizhen smiled confidently and said: "Just wait, there will be results soon!"
Cao Nai didn't pay attention to this matter at first. After all, he didn't follow the trend and invest money. However, seeing the emperor so sure, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. When the carriage passed by Longsheng Bank, he couldn't help but lift the curtains.
At this time, the entrance of Longsheng Bank was busy with traffic and people were everywhere. How could he look like a liar?
If they are liars, are these people all fools?
Zhu Qizhen also glanced twice, but didn't show much expression.
He knew that the fun was about to begin.
While Zhu Ji went to Changping, Yuan Bin had also started taking action.
Jinyiwei has laid a dragnet in and around the capital, waiting for this old fox to get in.
Within three days, we will see the outcome!
