Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 219 Chapter [-] Let the people suffer for a few more years
Ignoring Zhu Wan's clamor, Wang Daoqiu took out the official document from the court asking him to investigate Zhu Wan from his sleeve and handed it to Liang Tingzhen.

Liang Tingzhen took it and looked at it carefully. He was startled and ran over with the official document in hand to show Zhu Wan.After Zhu Wan read the black and white writing on the paper and the big red seal, he became even angrier. He scolded Wang Daoqiu angrily: "You Zhejiang people don't have any good people. You deceived the emperor, deceived the court, and framed Zhongliang. I, Zhu Wan, have the intention to kill." Thief, you are helpless! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been deceived by these traitors! Uuuuuuuuuuu!"

Thinking that he had worked tirelessly and tried his best to suppress bandits in Fujian and Zhejiang, but the imperial court sent Wang Daoqiu to investigate him, Zhu Wan was heartbroken. A 50-year-old frontier official just howled and cried in public.

Wang Daoqiu was furious when he saw that this so-called upright official and loyal minister still acted like he was right and refused to repent.

He galloped his horse past, condescendingly, and Wang Daoqiu said contemptuously: "Zhu Wan, you are still living among your own capable ministers and honest officials. It's sad, sad!"

"Bah, Wang Liangzhen, you are a villain who deceives the top and hides the truth, and climbs up by seducing the king. You are also qualified to say me. Wang Liangzhen, you are not so proud. Although I, Zhu Wan, are framed by you and other traitors this time, I am afraid I will die. .But there is justice in the history books of thousands of years."

justice!Yes, Zhu Wan was right. As a time-traveler, Wang Daoqiu knew that Zhu Wan was not just wishful thinking. Those later generations really gave him the "justice" Zhu Wan wanted in the history books. It is said that Zhu Wan was an honest official and capable minister.

The IQ of the Zhuan family has always been very impressive, and there is nothing Wang Daoqiu can do about it. After all, there is someone behind him. Even though he is more naive than a kindergarten child, he will still be called the Beast Zhuan family and still occupy the right to speak in this country.

Lamenting the unfairness of the world in his heart, Wang Daoqiu said coldly to Zhu Wan: "Zhu Wan, you are right. You are an honest and upright official, and your conduct and conduct can be a model for all officials. You are a role model for our generation. At least I, Wang Daoqiu, have the same conduct. , not as good as you."

"Hahaha, Wang Liangzhen, I didn't expect that you are a villain, but you still have a sense of shame, and you also know that your character is not good. Hahaha, Wang Liangzhen, you can still be saved. I advise you to resign and go back to your hometown, and examine me three times a day. Please be a good person! Hahaha."

Hearing Wang Daoqiu admit that he was a better person than him, Zhu Wan was happy and felt a sense of accomplishment.So facing Wang Daoqiu, a Shangguan, he madly became Wang Daoqiu's life mentor.

Faced with Zhu Wan's confusion, Wang Daoqiu continued to say coldly: "Zhu Wan, yes, your character is indeed better than mine. You are an upright official and I am a dirty official. But if that's the case, then why, I The people of Shandong and Shaanxi who had served this dirty official were extremely reluctant to part with me when I left office. They all hoped that I could go back and continue to be their feudal official. But you, an honest official, have only served in Zhejiang for two years. But everyone in Zhejiang wants to eat your flesh and drink your blood?"

"What do the ignorant people know? They can only see the small profits in front of them, but they cannot see the future. I am confident that as long as the people of Zhejiang can suffer for a few years, the pirates along the coast will be wiped out by me. Clean."

Let the people suffer for a few years, and things will get better in the future!What a noble reason!Isn’t this the same reason for so-called “great people” from generation to generation?In the understanding of those "great people", they should pursue great achievements and leave a lasting name.It is only natural that the common people eat chaff and eat vegetables and sell their children and daughters to pay for their great achievements.

Anyway, the common people are that in their eyes. The "price" in the slogan "We will do whatever it takes" can be used at any time to "do not hesitate".But the common people are unwilling to endure hardship and are unwilling to sell their children and daughters to pay for their great achievements. That is short-sighted and unruly.

Feeling sorry for the way of thinking of these so-called "wise kings" and "upright officials", I feel toothache in my toothache.Looking at the upright official Zhu Wan with great resentment, he said coldly: "Zhu Wan, I don't know how you recognize Mingjun's upright officials. But I, Wang Daoqiu, believe that a king deserves to be called Mingjun, so he should at least let him rule. The people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. A king who makes most of the people under his rule starve for a year may be unlucky and happens to catch up with a major natural disaster. But a king who makes most of the people under his rule starve every year for ten or even 20 years A hungry king, what should I say? He doesn’t deserve to be called a wise king, right?” “Not only does he not deserve to be called a wise king, a king who makes most of his people go hungry for ten or twenty years in a row is not only not a wise king, he is Not even a human being. Even saying he is a beast is an understatement. Such a king should be a devil who crawled out of hell to cause harm to the world."

"Okay, Zhu Wan, it's good that you have this understanding. If a king cannot let the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, then he is not a wise king, but a cowardly tyrant and a beast. What about a feudal official?"

"This, this, this! Wang Liangzhen, you are six yuan, and you are eloquent. I, Zhu Wan, can't beat you, I can't beat you."

Just now, Zhu Wan scolded the foolish king, which was very enjoyable, but he didn't expect that Wang Daoqiu would change the situation and apply Zhu Wan's theory to Zhu Wan himself. How could Zhu Wan refute this?So Zhu Wan was completely defeated in the quarrel with Wang Daoqiu.

After knocking down Zhu Wan's arrogant arrogance, Wang Daoqiu had a bad character, so he beat him up hard and said: "Zhu Wan, among the officials in the border area, you can be regarded as the only one in history. Other officials in the border area are corrupt and perverting the law. Yes, the people hate him, but the gentry and wealthy merchants like him; for those who are honest and make decisions for the people, the common people like him, and the gentry and wealthy merchants hate him. In any case, under the rule of other feudal officials, there will always be people who hate him, and there will always be people who like him. .”

"Only you, Zhu Wan, look at Zhejiang under your rule, no matter if it is a rich gentry and businessman or a poor farmer; no matter if it is an 80-year-old man or a five- or six-year-old child. Everyone wants to eat your meat , drink your blood. Zhu Wan, when you are a big official like you, when you rule the people, everyone wants you to die. I don’t know if there will be someone behind, but I know that this is absolutely unprecedented. Zhu Wan, a The big officials in the frontier are supposed to rule the people, and everyone shouts to kill, do you still have the face to feel that you have been wronged?"

Murder is heartbreaking. What Wang Daoqiu said was so heartbreaking. Zhu Wan was so angry that he held his neck and glared at Wang Daoqiu, wishing he could eat Wang Daoqiu now.

Zhu Wan gritted his teeth and replied fiercely: "Wang Liangzhen, you don't need to say those yin and yang words. I admit that in the two years since Zhu Wan came to Zhejiang, I have suffered the people of Zhejiang. But I did it to suppress the bandits. Good luck to you people in the future. I, Zhu Wan, have a clear conscience about this."

"Is it to suppress bandits? Zhu Wan, you said that the tyranny you implemented in Zhejiang in the past two years was all to suppress bandits? Zhu Wan, your brain really makes me speechless. Zhu Wan, this officer Let me ask you, you have been in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces for the past two years, and you have implemented strict sea bans to suppress bandits. So after your two years of suppression in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, have there been more or fewer bandits? Or should I put To put it more clearly, after you strictly enforced the sea ban, how many people along the coast have become bandits?"

"Those unscrupulous people are full of thieves. Why should they blame me when they join bandits? Did I instigate them?"

Zhu Wan still doesn't understand that it was his strict laws that deprived the coastal people of their source of livelihood and forced them to seek food from the pirate chiefs.Zhu Wan also shifted the responsibility to the common people without reflecting on himself at all.

Zhu Wan's stubbornness really made Wang Daoqiu very happy, so Wang Daoqiu laughed and said: "Hahaha, Zhu Wan, you, a serious Jinshi, can actually say such a thing, this is really shocking to me. The officer is impressed by you!"

"Zhu Wan, if you can pass the scientific examination, you must have memorized the history of the past dynasties. Don't you even understand the principle of officials forcing the people to rebel? Zhu Wan, remember, how many people you have made deprived of food and clothing, how many people have you made poor? If the common people are reduced to pigs and dogs, there will be as many beggars as there will be on the streets, and as many bandits as there will be on the mountains. Let the people suffer for a few years, which sounds nice, but without food, the people will not be able to survive even a few days, so how come How many years?"
