Chapter 716: All things are relative, and those who make good use of them return

There are also the names of three people among the Yi singers, these ten people are honest and fair, and they are even excluded among the sword head faction, and the house is even poorer, and the official positions of the three people are not low, and even among the people, the official reputation is also excellent, but the least of the property of these three people is 30 million taels of gold.

Jiugongzi said: "Xuansun Zhixing, Wu Ying, Pei Yan three!" As the saying goes, being a thief has a weak heart, although the three of them don't know each other's corruption and bribery, but they know their own things best, and they have been investigating corruption for more than half a month, and they have been frightened for more than half a month.

But after inquiring, I found that the two people who went with me were honest people, and my heart was much more stable, and the three of them were all so calculated, put on official uniforms, and walked into the palace with their heads held high.

After meeting the ninth prince, the ninth prince has been correcting the folds, and the three of them waited for two quarters of an hour before the nine princes finished the folds, stood up, and said: "The three Aiqing are all models of honesty and integrity, and they are models of hundreds of officials!" The three of them bowed down and said in unison: "Weichen doesn't dare!" The nine princes said: "Give the seat, the three Aiqing don't stand, sit down!" The three of them said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The nine princes said: "I heard that Wu Aiqing advocates Buddhism, saves money for several years, and builds a Buddhist hall in his back hall!" Wu Ying smiled: " The Buddha is compassionate, and those who are officials should be more thoughtful, have compassion and good thoughts, and feel for all sentient beings!" The ninth prince smiled slightly and said: "But as far as I know, the ordinary Buddhist hall should be mostly made of bronze and wood as the pillar!" Wu Ying's eyes dodged and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is erudite, it is true!" The ninth prince said: "Wu Aiqing sincerely salutes the Buddha, moved the Buddha, and even turned your Buddhist hall into gold, and even the floor tiles are paved with gold, it seems that the people who are devout Buddhas in my Central Continent should take Aiqing as a model!" When Wu Ying heard this, she was immediately frightened, and knelt down and said: "Weichen knows his mistake, Your Majesty spares his life, Weichen will hand over all the gold to the treasury, and ask Your Majesty to forgive Weichen!" Wu Ying knelt on the ground and trembled and did not dare to raise her head.

The ninth prince walked in front of Sun Zhixing and said: "Sun Zhixing, Lord Sun is honest and honest, his family is simple and poor, and he is deeply loved by the people, even the stone table and stone bench at home are given by the people, and I heard that the people also specially built a pair of stone lions for Sun Zhixing to put in front of the main hall!"

Jiu Gongzi said: "It's a pity, the people don't know that the tables and stools and the pair of stone lions are wrapped in gold and silver inside, and covered with stone clothes! Lord Sun is so incorruptible!" Sun Zhixing's body is soft, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging: "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life......" Jiugongzi walked to Pei Yan, Pei Yan knew that he could not escape the blame, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and couldn't afford it, Jiu Gongzi smiled: "Pei Yan, Pei Daren, I don't know how many Pei Da Da's business there are in this Zhongzhou City, Pei Da Da is really an official and a fortune!" Pei Yan knelt down and begged:" Your Majesty spares his life, Weichen is guilty, and Weichen is guilty......" Jiugongzi squatted in front of the three of them, the corners of his mouth raised lightly, and said: "The three adults have gained fame and profit without showing a trace, and I quite appreciate the ability of the three adults!" The three of them have lived in the court for a long time, and Wu Ying kowtowed: "Whoever is driven by His Majesty, Weichen will never give up!" Sun Zhixing and Pei Yan echoed in unison.

The Ninth Prince got up and said: "I can spare your life, and even let you keep your official position, but there are more than 10 million officials in Zhongzhou, and the deterrence and strict investigation can only deter for a while, people like you, I Zhongzhou must be more than the three of you, it is impossible to completely uproot them, I want you to approach and verify these people for me, I want these people to be in my hands at all times, during which the bribes received by the three of you, as well as the things they requested, are secretly reported to me, and I have my own discretion." If it is found that the three of you have deceived me, I will not only ask for your head, but also write a book and engrave the names of the three of you in the shameful chapter of history, so that the three of you will be insulted and spurned for generations, so that your children and grandchildren will not be able to raise their heads and be people!" The three of them buckled their heads again and again, and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!" The ninth prince said: " As for the evidence of the three of you, Wu Ying's Golden Buddha Hall and Sun Zhixing's gold-filled ornaments are placed in their homes as they are, immovable, immovable, and not to let anyone know, and I will often send people to check them. Pei Yan, your business will continue to operate, but it will be operated for me, and every year you will use the profits from these transactions to donate eight thousand fine war horses and forage Sima people, and the remaining profits will be handed over together with an account book. The three of them all knew in their hearts that the reason why the emperor arranged it this way, whether it was the Golden Buddha Hall, the gold ornaments and the account books, it was ironclad evidence of their corruption and bribery, which meant that their life and death were always in the hands of the emperor.

The ninth prince looked at the three people who looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will not treat the three Aiqing badly, as long as the three adults do their best for me, I will be rewarded for high-ranking officials, gold, silver and jewelry!" The three of them finally calmed down, and kowtowed: "Don't dare!" The ninth prince smiled: "Okay, I hope to see the three adults enjoy their old age and die in peace, go!" The three of them retired.

Chu Qing looked at the nine princes puzzled, and asked hesitantly: "What the prince wants is the prosperity of the Central Continent, what are you doing with these corrupt officials?" The ninth prince looked at Chu Qing, and saw that Jiuwei was also confused, and said: "Heaven and earth are born of yin and yang, and people have good and evil as well as good and evil, and the two coexist, and they can never go to one or the other." Rather than those corrupt officials, traitorous officials, etc., to guard against them everywhere, forcing them to the extreme, but it is more difficult to prevent, a little careless and even endless disasters, it is better to stay all the way, control in hand, kill it can inspire the world, please the people, show the determination of the court to decontaminate and eradicate the people, so that the people can see that the government and the opposition are clear and clear in Zhongzhou, so that they can unite Zhongzhou. And there are some things that only these people dare to do, and only these people can do them, so they can be done if they are used properly. If all the Qing officials above the government and the opposition are for the people and the country, everything will be too harsh, and it will be difficult for them to make a roundabout, and the slightest carelessness will be directed at the imperial power and the ruler of the world. However, the Qing officials above the government and the opposition condense a clear stream in the world, and this clear stream attracts the hearts of talents and students in the world. Qing officials in the court can see the real scene tomorrow, can correct the chaotic government, and can know the aspirations of the people in the world. And sages and students are virtuous when they enter the DPRK, and chaos is a catastrophe. Therefore, the use of this Qing official is demanding, the clear stream is different, the people's hearts are scattered, and the country will not be a country. Moreover, this clean official can not be demoted, or even imprisoned, but he must not be killed, so as to stabilize this clear stream. The spear of the people's hearts lies in the scholars, and the edge of the scholars is the honest and honest officials in the court, the people and the country......" Jiugongzi looked at Chu Qing and Jiu Wei's confused appearance, smiled, and said: "Okay, you guys go down, I'm going to rest!" Chu Qing and Jiu Wei left with doubts in their minds.
