Are you stupid?

Incense was rising in the hall, but no one in the hall spoke.

Gu Jian has always looked down on Emperor Taixing. In his opinion, the country can enter a period of stable development when Emperor Taixing dies and the new emperor ascends the throne. But Gu Jian never thought that Emperor Taixing was a foolish emperor before his death, and would leave so many people behind after his death. The troubles that make the living have no peace.

He sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, I can draw a tiger talisman, but the difference between a new product and an old one can be seen at a glance."

"...Moreover," Mu Huaiyuan interrupted suddenly, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty is still in the filial age, so you are ready to use force? What happened in Lin Jianxi is likely to be a series of schemes set up by the Jiayu County King. Waiting for His Majesty to be young and passionate, to use troops against Shu? The people of Shu, who are the original people, are not clear at all. If they really kill them all, and arrange for their own people to go there, the officials sent by His Majesty will not be able to tell. How to say clearly."

Mu Huaiyuan kept shaking his head, "Even with the documents registered by the Ministry of Households or the county government at that time, there is no way to carefully distinguish whether the person is that person or not."

One side raises one side, the appearance of the people in each place actually has the characteristics of each place, and even if the appearance is registered in the document, it will not be too specific. The most is "so-and-so, born in a certain year, gender, height, round face" Not to mention portraits - it's not that there are painters who can draw real people very vividly without using fine brushwork skills, but it is obviously impossible for painters of this level to paint for ordinary people.

Shenlong thought for a moment, and frowned.

"That makes sense."

After all, the land of Shu is also the home of the Jiayu County King. He doesn't talk about benefiting the people in his fiefdom, but he doesn't think about harming the local people all day long.

If the whole thing was a series of schemes set up by the King of Jiayu from the very beginning, everything would be clear.

Choose those who have excellent grades and are likely to be admitted to Enke, and screen people's character a little bit. As long as they are not wolf-hearted people who suffer from neighbors and family deaths, it is easy to be blinded by hatred.Afterwards, according to the plan, three or five villages near the homes of the selected candidates were surrounded, the grain roads were closed, people were not allowed to enter and exit, all the merchants were withdrawn, and the people among them were deliberately starved to death, and then a kidnapping of them was staged in front of the candidates. The bad drama of the whole family is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Afterwards, no matter whether or not the king of Jiayu County would be feared and suspected by the first emperor when he entered Beijing, he could wait for the candidates he "arranged" to stage a big show in the Enke set up by the Taixing Emperor to establish the crown prince.

Lin Jianxi didn't know the inside story, his sadness and anger could easily touch people's hearts, and Emperor Taixing's brain was not working well; as long as Emperor Taixing believed it, he would use this to reprimand the king of Jiayu County, doubt the state shepherds of the seven prefectures of Shu, and replace him. , Relegating officials will chill the hearts of officials all over the world; if Emperor Taixing doesn't believe it, young officials will also be disappointed by the monarch's stupidity.

The one who suffers the most is the Emperor Taixing, and the king of Jiayu County can reap the benefits as long as he pretends to be a good person with an innocent face.

——Mu Huaiyuan's words suddenly reminded Shenlong that the king of Jiayu County is not a person of outstanding moral character.

When he was young, he was able to trick his best friend into murdering his own brother for him, and then turned his face on his best friend and denied him, presuming that the other party framed him; for many years since then, the king of Jiayu County has always been ambitious, how could he repent and be a good man? Woolen cloth?

It should be the nature of the king of Jiayu to be good at intrigue!

What's more, even if the king of Jiayu County is very good at talking, the honor and disgrace of the officials for a lifetime will always be maintained on the emperor. Following a rebellious king who doesn't know if he can succeed in rebelling, or sitting in the current official position to exploit, at worst, he can maintain the current situation. Life.Officials who have no problem with their brains know how to choose. They are living a good life, and few of them will not think about running to hang their heads on their waistbands.

Logically speaking, the king of Jiayu County only had three cities in the fiefdom, but nearly a hundred officials from the seven prefectures of Shu region all surrendered to him.

This is in line with the actual situation.

"...But what if it is true, the king of Jiayu County is so mad. He lost his fief after being deposed, and the people in the fief will be buried with him for his title." Shenlong asked worriedly.

Human life cannot be a bargaining chip in political games.

It's not that Shenlong can't afford to gamble, but he doesn't want to gamble with his own people.

"Jiayu County King came out of Beijing in embarrassment at the time. Why did he hurt himself in the fief all these years? He allowed himself to live a very good life, enjoying luxurious clothes and delicious food. He is not a person with courage and determination. Let such a person give up his glory and wealth and fight with his back? "Mu Huaiyuan shook his head and sneered, "It's not because I underestimate the king of Jiayu County, it's because he is not worthy of a hero."

Moreover, even if some officials were actually boarded by the king of Jiayu County, the other party must have hoped that the king of Jiayu County would succeed in rebellion and become emperor and share the glory.

The king of Jiayu County was demoted, and he was going to bring his own people to die. His subordinates were the first to refuse to agree to this operation.

Shenlong's beating heart finally calmed down slowly, and his feverish head also calmed down.

He rubbed his fingertips together, and suddenly remembered that he had "invited" him to rest next door, the servant of the official department who couldn't move.

Shenlong said with a guilty conscience: "Bring the Minister of the Ministry of Officials back to discuss government affairs."

When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials returned to the main hall, his face was really angry, with a tense and cold face, and he refused to even look at Xinjun.

The other party originally looked down on Emperor Taixing's promiscuity, did not believe in the rumors of "Tianhuo" and had no admiration for the new king. lower.

The servant of the Ministry of Officials made a full gesture and waited for the new king to apologize to him, but he waited until the new king asked, "Is there any official in the three cities of Jiayu County's fiefdom who can be promoted and transferred?" Can."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was suffocated by the new emperor's question for a long time, and he couldn't find a word in his mouth, "The country's scholars treat it, and the country's scholars repay it. Your Majesty treats courtiers like this. Do you still expect them to be dedicated?" Suddenly, he couldn't find a chance. Speak out.

He snorted a few times, and replied reluctantly, "Among the three county magistrates, two of them have been rated as excellent three times in a row and can be promoted. Only the one who has ruled for many years has had bandits, and it is not good to manage bandits. Let the bandits kill the county magistrate who came to serve as an official, and it is not suitable for promotion."

Ok?

it's wired.

With a twitch in Shenlong's heart, he suddenly pinched his sleeves.

"Didn't the official who went to his post die on the way to his post? He actually died in the fiefdom of the Jiayu County King!" It is really not the style of the Jiayu County King to be so careless.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials put on a dead face, and emphasized in a cold voice: "Death on the way to the post does not conflict with death in the Jiayu County king's fiefdom."

That's right, he passed from the Jiayu County king's fiefdom to the county he needed to govern, but he died in...

Wait, he thought of the problem.

Shenlong asked again, "The king of Jiayu County ruled the three cities, and the two cities that were rated as excellent, have there been any mistakes or omissions over the years?"

The thought involved in this question is a bit long.

Although the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has a good memory, he still recalled it carefully for a while before saying, "For at least ten years, the people under the two county magistrates lived and worked in peace and contentment. No lawsuits, no banditry."

The terrain of Shu is low-lying and the interior is uneven. It is the most suitable for banditry to hide. Two of the three adjacent counties have no trace of banditry. Only one county is so loved by banditry. Just kill?

I'm afraid the banditry is not an ordinary banditry, but a family thief raised by others!

However, since the "thieves" still need to hide in Tibet, at least it proves that the officers of the local camp are still trustworthy.

Thinking of these, Shenlong was finally relieved.

"Since there are two officials with outstanding achievements, they have been promoted by half a rank, and one is transferred from the south to the north. The new county magistrate of the fiefdom..." Shenlong rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Huaiyuan, "The late emperor once said that my partner During my illness, I will never leave you, and my love is beyond comparison with ordinary people. If you can stand out in the scientific examination, Xu Guanshi will be promoted to another level. It is not easy for Mu Huaiyuan and Shen Yu to go to high school. You two can do it. Willing to share my worries?"

Another upgrade can just make you a magistrate of a big county.

Shen Yu looked a little uncomfortable. Rather than going to the border town where his life might be hurt, he would rather stay in the capital and be a think tank to solve the problems of the old king.The current situation of the Shen family can't allow Shen Yu to slow down his qualifications.

Shen Yu had her own plan in mind, so she answered slower than Mu Huaiyuan.

Mu Huaiyuan said directly: "Your Majesty's wish is the direction that I point my sword. No matter where I am, I am willing to go."

Shenlong shook his head at Shen Yu's hesitation in his heart, knowing that Shen Yu would devote his whole life to his own family and could no longer be a confidant.

"Okay! When I came to the throne, it was really time to employ people. You and Lin Jianxi were the first and the second, and both of you are extremely talented. Today I regard you as the county magistrates of the two counties. .Since the land of Shu is not peaceful, I will give each of you a hundred soldiers to accompany you to protect your lives."

Since Shen Yu is unwilling to go, Lin Jianxi has a special affection for his hometown, and he must be more willing to treat the people under his rule well when he encounters a catastrophe.

——After Lin Jianxi became the local county magistrate, even if people really starved to death in the local area, with the protection of the soldiers and the purpose of opening a granary, the situation can be curbed from going in an unpredictable direction It has developed; and if the matter is a conspiracy, seeing that there are people in his hometown who are alive is also a kind of comfort and psychological compensation for Lin Jianxi, and it will not make him suffer for the rest of his life.

"Shen Yu, it's up to you to explain to Lin Jianxi." Since Shen Yu is going to be a close minister, Shenlong will give him this opportunity.

The explanation must not be explained by the emperor in person, the identity is not suitable, and Mu Huaiyuan wants to be neighbors with Lin Jianxi, if he stimulates the other party when talking, it will not be conducive to getting along with each other in the future, and Mu Huaiyuan can't let Mu Huaiyuan talk about it, Shen Yu As a close minister of the emperor, his job is to explain and explain the deep meaning of the emperor for others, and he is the most suitable person to do this job.

After solving the worries in his heart, Shenlong smiled and said: "Go, I said that today I will hold a dinner party for the four of you, and you will not return if you are not drunk!"

Mu Huaiyuan, who had always been calm and calm, felt a shudder in his heart, and suddenly turned his head to look at Shenlong.

Shenlong was sensitively aware of Mu Huaiyuan's gaze, and suddenly it sounded that he had promised Mu Huaiyuan that he would not be drinking. He shrank his neck and added in a low voice, "You don't go home until you're drunk. I'm in the period of filial piety. No alcohol."
