Qiming 1158

Chapter 837 Zhao Zuoliang will be angry too

It concerns everyone's interests, Cao Kai has no way to retreat.

Even if he was black-spotted, he couldn't back down, otherwise he would be dead among the officials of his own faction.

As one of the leaders, he knew what the consequences of the death of the society would be.

At this time, you must be tough, even if it's just this time, as long as you get through it, the benefits it will bring to yourself will be quite large.

At this point, Cao Kai really hardened.

"Yushi Kongdu, it's not that I waited unreasonably to make trouble, but it was the news circulating in the capital city in the past few days that made me restless and worried about my family members in Shandong. I hope you can understand."

"Understood? Understand what? Understand that you came to Shangshu Province to quarrel with your salaries from Ming Dynasty when you were supposed to be doing business? Who is the person working in Shandong? It's Your Majesty! It's His Majesty the Emperor! Does His Majesty the Emperor deliberately make things difficult for you?"

Kong Maojie stared and said angrily, "His Majesty the Emperor is the most just person, and the decisions he made are also the most just decisions. Don't have any other thoughts in your heart, because even if there are, what can you do?!"

After listening to Kong Maojie's words, Cao Kai and the others looked at each other in dismay, realizing that what Kong Maojie said made sense.

If ordinary officials go to Shandong to fight corruption, they still say that there is a possibility that black and white may be reversed.

But this time it is the emperor himself who is doing things in Shandong. Can they still slander the emperor and confuse black and white?

Can they lead the emperor's thinking and let the emperor do things according to their wishes?

Well, when faced with certain emperors, they are indeed not incapable.

But when facing Su Yonglin, they just simply didn't dare.

So it turns out that you are you, or you are not you. If the emperor wants to ask you about your sin, you can't escape. If the emperor wants to let you go, you can't go to jail, so you can still struggle?
Just wait!

The Shandong officials who were aware of Kong Maojie's foreign voice could only nod their heads in worry and frustration, admitting that the situation they were facing was not something they could subjectively change.

"Nevertheless, when I think about my family members, I'm a little rude, but this is human nature, and the Censor Kongdu should understand it, right?"

Cao Kai lowered his posture and used a flattering tone.

Kong Maojie looked at this group of condescending people with disgust and disdain in his heart.

But fortunately, there will not be too many days for everyone to be an official in the same dynasty.

So Kong Maojie "very rare" let them go.

"Since you are talking about this, I am not someone who doesn't understand the world, so I won't be too harsh on you this time. I will return to my post immediately. If there is any negligence, I will not forgive you!"

It's too early to live, and the ghosts of Zhongdu are not embarrassed by everyone!

He actually said that he also understands the world!
This is really the world's biggest weirdness!

He actually didn't let everyone go to the Metropolitan Court to have tea and chat with him and then make up for his red and black list?

The officials immediately left Shangshu Province with a hint of happiness and a full sense of discord, returned to their jobs, continued to inquire about news uneasy, and waited for the fate to come.

They all left, leaving Yelu Chenghui and Huo Jianbai, who were still fighting against the Confucian scholars.

"You too, you are all high-ranking officials, how can you scold someone like a shrew? Yelu Zuocheng, I heard your voice from afar."

Kong Maojie shook his head and looked at the elegant Yelu Chenghui with a puzzled face.

Yelu Chenghui smiled a little embarrassedly.

"That guy Cao Kai directly called me a northern prisoner. I couldn't stand it, so I argued with him, so there was a scene just now. It was really laughable, but I asked myself to do my best for Your Majesty, to obey the law, and to have no selfishness. Still treating me like a barbarian, I really can't accept it."

Kong Maojie nodded.

"Your Majesty also said that everyone is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no distinction between Han, Khitan, and Bohai. Cao Kai's words are indeed excessive."

"That's good."

Yelu Chenghui breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Jianbai is also suitable for Yelu Chenghui to stand on the united front in this matter, because when Cao Kai scolded Yelu Chenghui just now, he scolded him together. He was so furious that he almost beat Cao Kai.

Kong Maojie did not embarrass them, and let them do what they should do.

Now only Kong Maojie and Zhao Zuoliang are left.

Zhao Zuoliang clapped his hands, stood up, and walked to Kong Maojie's side.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I still don't know when I will be able to get a rest from being quarreled by them today."

"You are always too kind, so some people think you are easy to bully. You need to know that the officialdom is full of wolves and leopards, and there are few good people."

Kong Maojie said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is not in the Central Capital, and I entrust you to preside over government affairs. You must always have a good attitude, and you cannot be looked down upon by others."

Zhao Zuoliang smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know anything else, but there is one thing I know best."

"what?"

"In my position, it is right to be bullied. Bullying others, the emperor, is not happy."

Zhao Zuoliang looked at Kong Maojie with a smile: "It's nothing for you to be a ghost in the middle capital now, your position requires you to do this, the more miserable you are, the happier the emperor will be, but one day you will sit in my place, then We have to weigh and measure, what should be done and what should not be done, it is all about.”

Kong Maojie listened and was silent for a while.

"What you said is not something I want to think about. I just want to finish the things that His Majesty told me to do. As for the rest, I don't care."

"It's good for young people to have ideas and drive, but there are some things that you can't care about if you don't want to. There are always many people who will force you to care."

Zhao Zuoliang shook his head: "You are a high-ranking official. There is no high-ranking official in the past dynasties who is not taken seriously. Now it is only a short time, sooner or later."

"Even if there is a day, I will never be at the mercy of others."

Kong Maojie shook his head firmly: "I am an official, not an official for the sake of being an official."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Zhao Zuoliang smiled and said, "If you really are not an official for the sake of being an official."

"That's natural."

After Kong Maojie gave his answer, he suddenly thought of what he said when he and Su Yonglin faced each other that night.

In the end, who are the people who haven't changed from beginning to end?
Kong Maojie once thought that everyone would not change and would only get better, but the cruel facts were in front of him, so he had to believe that there were always some people who were hopeless.

"I heard that the emperor started a massacre in Shandong?"

Zhao Zuoliang took a piece of cake that he liked very much and handed it to Kong Maojie.

Kong Maojie thanked him, took it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Yes, the Yellow River corruption case in Shandong is very involved, and many people have been found out. The radish is pulled out and the mud is brought out. The corrupt officials are all nested, so that the manpower brought by Your Majesty is not enough. In an emergency, another batch was transferred from China."

"Lin Jingchun is here for this, right?"

"Yes."

Kong Maojie said slowly: "I heard that the amount of corruption found in this investigation is as much as one billion dollars. This is only what has been investigated so far. The final result may be more severe, and more people will be implicated, and it will not stop here. ."

"They are all from Shandong."

Zhao Zuoliang ate a piece of cake himself: "So why do I need to argue with them just now? It's just a group of dead people. What's the point of showing prestige to the dead?"

Kong Maojie looked at Zhao Zuoliang and felt that Zhao Zuoliang's heart was far less peaceful than what he said.

He will be angry too.
