Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189
Seeing Wang Fu argue that everyone was speechless, the little fat man became a little suspicious, frowned, thinking to himself, while Wang Fu looked arrogantly at the many courtiers, and said: "If you have any advice, don't worry about it." Hide!"

Many courtiers were annoyed, but they had no way to deal with it. He Xiu looked at the little fat man and said, "Your Majesty, this fellow has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. It's just that he has a good eloquence, not because of his sound system. This method is absolutely unfeasible. "

"It is still necessary to formulate regulations on the punishment of corrupt officials and the so-called maintenance of honesty, and then discuss the assessment process and decision-making before it can be implemented."

"Otherwise, the officials will absolutely not agree!"

Hearing He Xiu's words, Wang Fu was furious, but rarely said anything. Yuan Ping said, "You guys, are you using the fame and fortune of the scientific merit system to cultivate the confidants of officials privately? I heard that the people and officials in Yangzhou are all headed by you. I don't know." But is it true or not?" The little fat man's eyes flashed, and he slowly stared at Wang Fu. If the merit system is implemented, will the examiners who select and appoint these officials soon be able to take the opportunity to cultivate private trust?
"Zhu Zi'an dares to insult me?" Wang Fu was furious.

"It's true that the officials were arranged by me, but they are all civil servants. There are only more than [-] soldiers from counties and counties in Yangzhou. Do you think I can't do rebellion? The emperor arranges appointments in the army. Why do you need to involve other things?"

"Okay." The little fat man said, the officials were silent for a while, and the few ministers who came forward also lowered their heads and returned to their positions. The little fat man stared at the officials below, without saying a word for a long time. Under the sharp gaze, these ministers only felt a chill behind their backs, and their bodies were trembling slightly. The little fat man didn't frighten them any more. After watching for a while, he said:

"Yuan Jun, you should discuss the relevant laws with Mr. He. Now that Hezhou, Xinzhou and other places are newly established, there is a shortage of officials. Why don't you evaluate a group of small officials to see their effects. If there is a lot to do, then follow Wang Jiexin's instructions Do what you say!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed, and the little fat man nodded and ordered to disperse.

The officials bowed their heads and walked out of the hall in small steps. Just after they walked out, He Xiu stopped Wang Fu. Wang Fu was a little frightened, while the surrounding officials were a little curious, and looked up. He Xiu looked at these officials , There was some anger in the eyes, and everyone immediately said, "He Gong, it is common to disagree with political opinions. If you use force like this, it is definitely not what a gentleman does."

"Ha~~~, you also know how to be afraid!"

Wang Fu chuckled, but didn't answer.

He Xiu pulled him, walked with his head down, and said, "You are a man of great talent. I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen someone as talented as you."

"Ah."

Wang Fu listened and nodded seriously. He looked at He Xiu and pulled me over just to say this well-known thing?
He Xiu was a little shocked, shook his head helplessly, and looked at him with complicated eyes. He continued: "Having you is a blessing to the people of the Han Dynasty, but you are a little too anxious, and there are many things that cannot be completed in a hurry, otherwise , will only cause chaos, and will not achieve the desired results.”

"Besides, why do you want to anger His Majesty? Today, if I hadn't protected you, you would have been cooked alive!" He Xiu said angrily.

"He Gong, today, even if you don't protect me, the emperor will never kill me." Wang Fu said calmly, and then he smiled again, and said in a low voice: "As long as I am still useful to Your Majesty, I will not kill you." will die!".

"Then you can't be used by the world forever. If you become useless one day, aren't you afraid of being imprisoned by the emperor?"

"Hahaha~~" Wang Fu laughed loudly and said, "Hegong, I heard that some people are like a small stream that can nourish the land of hundreds of miles, while some people are like a big river that flows endlessly. You don't have to worry about me, the more the court officials hate me, the longer I will live!"

When He Xiu heard the words, he had no choice but to give up, shook his head, and left. Although he disagreed with his political views, he didn't want this talented person to die at the hands of the emperor he taught. Hearing that Wang Fu also had his own thoughts in his heart, He Xiu didn't say any more, left the main hall, and went to discuss with Yuan Feng about the new law to be enacted.

As soon as Wang Fu walked out of the palace gate, he saw a person waiting in front of the door. When he saw Wang Fu coming out, the man grinned and walked over with a smile to meet him. Unfamiliar with him, he cupped his hands casually. This person was Wen Renxi, who had been waiting for Wang Fu here for some time. He smiled and said, "I have been waiting here for a long time, why did you come out?"

"He Gong talked to me about some things, but I don't know why you are looking for me?"

Wen Renxi said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered me to be responsible for raising money, so I waited for Wang Jun. I heard that Wang Jun is a great talent, and I want to get Wang Jun's advice. Can't I come to my house?" Wang Fu heard. It was for political affairs, and he nodded, so he called dozens of retainers in the inn, surrounded and defended him, and walked towards Wenren's mansion under the leadership of Wen Renxi.

Wen Renxi looked at the dozen or so doormen before and after, and felt a little surprised. Wang Fu didn't speak a word all the way. Come here, they have seen this kind of scene countless times, sometimes, someone even used a yellow crossbow to ambush Wang Fu, and Wang Fu's life is so great that he has survived until now.

He has a total of seventeen disciples around him, don't think that this number is too many, you know, at the beginning, he had fifty disciples accompanying him, now, only seventeen remain
Wen Renxi led him away for a long time, finally stopped, asked the servants to open the door, and walked in with Wang Fu personally. When he saw Wen Renxi's mansion, Wang Fu was a little shocked, not because of the luxury. , but because of its simplicity, the well-known mansion looks extremely simple, no different from the surrounding civilian houses, at most, the walls of the courtyard are higher.

And inside the courtyard, it is very clean, but there are no decent decorations, everywhere is extremely simple, Wen Renxi took him into the study, and only three people can barely enter here, Wang Fu looked at it helplessly. Surrounded by doubts, they didn't ask, and they sat down with Wang Fu when they heard that someone had ordered the servants to get some tea.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to establish a new Han law, and impose heavy penalties on crimes of corruption."

"I observe the laws of the Han Dynasty. For those who take bribes, there are beheading, exile, and frontier defense. However, even this cannot fill the emptiness of his corruption. Therefore, the punishment of ransacking the house should be added. In addition, most of these officials are If a descendant of a wealthy family comes from an aristocratic family and violates the law, the family should be asked to compensate the government office with the embezzled money, up to three times."

"These money can be used as money to support honesty. It can not only reduce the expenditure of the national treasury, but also make the officials jealous. What do you think?"
