Can you live forever

Chapter 426 Poetry and distance, weather of Han and Tang Dynasties

"Xu Jie has been appointed as the Grand Commander."

"Well, so, you can also be extradited to the north safely."

There are no stupid officials hiding here in the government office of Lin'an Prefecture. They can keenly sense the breath of safety and danger. When Xu Jie becomes the commander-in-chief, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be "full of surplus" and more tolerant.

Therefore, they will approve Nanjing's negotiations with the imperial court and allow these officials to be extradited.

Don't worry about being shot when you go out.

Many officials have already begun to pay respects to "Amitabha Buddha", and some are ashamed. There is no way, Xu Wei's assessment of them is unqualified. Even if they go to the north, they will have to be judged according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and they will also die.

Xu Wei had expected this.

He walked forward slowly, looked at those officials who had fallen to the ground in despair, smiled sarcastically, and said, "If I knew today, why bother?"

Most people opened their mouths, but nothing came out.

But there was one person who just stood still, unmoved. Only after Xu Wei asked, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "I only know the old rules in the officialdom, and it has been like this for more than a hundred years. Before that, thousands of years ago, is also like this."

"I only know that Xu Jie abandoned Nanjing and crossed the river to tear down the bridge."

"Other than that, what else is there to say?"

"The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" corrupted 80 strings and sentenced to death by hanging. Even the officials in the north, how many people can survive?"

"Even if the court says that merits and demerits can be offset."

"But how much merit is there, and how much is the fault?"

"It's just a winner and a loser. If you want to kill or cut, it's enough to listen and respect. Why bother to argue?"

This person is only about 14 years old, obviously a little unkempt, but still energetic, Xu Wei recognizes this person, this person is called Zhao Zhenji, in the 2th year of Jiajing, he was selected as No. [-] in the first class, that is, the second place.

He was hailed as "Cai Bi Jia Yi" by Wang Tingxiang.

Wang Tingxiang had been serving as the censor of Zuodu in the imperial court before, and he was in the same group as Xia Yan, who belonged to Nanjing's general in the imperial court. He and Zhao Zhenji had such a good relationship, it can be said that they have a mentor-student relationship.

Therefore, after Zhao Zhenji obtained his fame, he followed Wang Tingxiang to work and belonged to the Nanjing school.

After Xia Yan was killed, Jiajing did not embarrass others. Those who were willing to sue their old age and return to their hometowns were all approved, so these people returned to Jiangnan, and Zhao Zhenji also returned with his mentor.

From the Shu Jishi to the local area, he served as the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture.

After all, he came back after losing power, otherwise, according to the status of Wang Tingxiang and Zhao Zhenji's fame, it would be inevitable for Zhao Zhenji to be a local prefect.

Even if it is a provincial capital city.

Of course, with Zhao Zhenji's ability, even though he is a co-prefect, there is no problem in controlling Lin'an by evading the magistrate, but he doesn't want Xu Wei to come over by air.

Now, instead, he, a member of the Nanjing faction, has become a prisoner, while the people of the imperial court are in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

How can people be convinced by the changes in the world?

Therefore, if you kill someone without nodding your head, you will lose if you lose. If you want to humiliate your heart, he will not agree.

In this regard.

Xu Wei laughed, very loudly and wildly. After laughing, he asked loudly: "Corruption has existed for thousands of years, does it mean that corruption is innocent?"

"Wait, do you still have a little bit of courtesy, righteousness and shame?"

Zhao Zhenji sneered, and said: "Stop fooling people with that set of false emptiness, you and I are both sensible people, you might as well make it clearer, corruption is a crime anyway."

"If you want people not to be greedy, you must first satisfy your selfish desires and get some money to raise money."

"The wool comes from the sheep after all, where does the money come from?"

"People."

"If there is an upright means of exploitation, how much will be exploited, will it still follow the regulations? If the court collects this money, it is nothing more than taxes and fees. What is the actual taxation, don't you know?"

"Do not maintain integrity, corruption is illegal, but it is difficult to live with a salary and even housing and food, forcing everyone to be corrupt."

"Then……"

"Whether it's your court or Xu Jie today, you can use this crime to punish us, or even uproot us. It's really a good way."

"Of course, this rule does not depend entirely on Taizu."

"It was created by those officials who fought against dissidents for the sake of the party, just for the opportunity to attack others, and then those who gained power were greedy for tens of millions of taels, which were as stable as Mount Tai. Those who offended others would spend dozens of taels and be hanged."

"Left and right are just a trend."

"Now the situation is in your hands, even if you come to take the head, why do you need to say more?"

Zhao Zhenji stood upright, without losing any momentum. Although he was a prisoner, he was able to fight against the high-spirited Xu Wei, but Xu Wei didn't rush to answer, took out the booklet unhurriedly, and read: "Zhao Zhenji, when you arrive in Lin'an, It's been more than half a year, and the gift and the amount of silver are 13728 taels in total, do you have any objections?"

Zhao Zhenji sneered: "It's just the money of the powerful gentry, so you just take it away. All the money is given to the officials of Jiangnan Science and Technology. It was originally a product of two sets of tax systems. Why bother to talk about it."

Xu Wei smiled and said: "Don't mention your faults, but in terms of merit, you haven't made any achievements, have you?"

Zhao Zhenji smiled angrily: "I am a noble in the Hanlin, so how can I say anything about it? I went south to the south of the Yangtze River and worked in Lin'an. It only took half a year. In the first three months, I was familiar with things and took power. I was about to flex my muscles when I was airborne. Be wary of the enemy."

"You want to ask about achievements? Oh, no."

"Please cut off my head!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Oh, you are still not convinced."

Zhao Zhenji was categorical: "Even though he died nine times, he still refuses to accept!"

Xu Wei smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to make a contribution. You have read the newspapers about what Xu Jie said at the inauguration ceremony."

"Da Ming is going to make an expedition to Xi Luo Continent."

"That's not a good place. Christianity is deeply ingrained, and the thinking cannot be reversed. Therefore, thunderous means are needed. There are some things that the court is inconvenient to do, so I have to ask you to come."

"All of you, I can give you a chance to go to sea."

"Are you going?"

The eyes of the others suddenly lit up, and they frantically kowtowed in thanks, if they survived, who cares where they go?And Xu Wei had his own ideas. These criminals were not sent to Xiluozhou to fight, and most of them did not have the ability.

But a country as big as Ottoman, and the territory that Xi Luozhou will conquer, needs to be managed by people.

It is impossible for Daming to spare so many people to take care of it, so just let these people fight poison with poison.

After all, Daming is not prepared to digest Xiluozhou...

Thinking about it, Xu Wei threw a piece of yellow rock candy into his mouth. He had already seen the clues from the grand plan of the Western Expedition. After all, Xu Hai was a very important part.

Xu Hai not only gave way, but also participated in it.

He probably understood the inside story, and after thinking about it, Xu Wei handed Yang Shen a piece of rock candy and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Yang Shen took Bingtang, thought for a while, and said firmly, "I also want to go to Xiluozhou."

"As long as you're in Daming, you can't get rid of the past grievances."

"So, it's better to go to sea."

"At least, I don't have to think about anything, just fight for Daming."

"I want to see the land of Taixi, the land where Zheng He's fleet has arrived, and the glory of the past. Perhaps only in this way can I admit from the bottom of my heart that my father was wrong, and it was Xuande Since the Dynasty, no, since the Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats have been so wrong."

"Father said that my literary talent is the best in Ming Dynasty."

"Before I died, I still muttered, saying that I can leave a name in history, but I don't want to be a general, but... I want to add a few frontier poems for Ming Dynasty, add two points to the atmosphere of Han and Tang Dynasties, and restore a bit of Yongle prosperity scene."
