travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 88

Zhao Fei glared at Lin Ziyan, as if he wanted to eat Lin Ziyan.

Lin Ziyan looked at Zhao Fei not to be outdone, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, why should you look at my concubine like this? I only remember that your Majesty was very brave and happy last night."

"It's not all good things you did." Zhao Fei roared angrily in a low voice: "If you didn't put Xiaofang in, would I make such a mistake?"

"How could it be a mistake? To be favored by His Majesty is the blessing that Nizi has cultivated for several generations. How can it be a mistake?" Good at making claims."

"You..." Zhao Fei smiled wryly, "But you can't do this..."

In fact, everything Zhao Fei said now is just pretending. You said that there is a big beauty coming to sleep with you in the middle of the night, can you be unhappy?

It's just that even if I'm happy, I can't show it in front of my wife, but I have to act like I don't want all of this.

Zhao Fei deeply remembers that no woman will share a man generously with other women.

Don't look at Zi Yan's nice words now, in fact, when she saw Zhao Fei in the morning, her mouth was pouted, obviously a little unhappy.

When you said this, Zhao Fei dared to thank his wife with a smile on his face and said: Thank you wife, thank you for sending me a pillow in the middle of the night, you are so considerate to me, I love you so much!

Of course, I can say that I love you to death, but forget about the previous ones.

So now Zhao Fei is making such an appearance of remorse, in fact, he is pretending to say that this is all my fault, and it is because I can't control it. Of course, there is also your problem, why don't you send a fragrant beauty Come to my bed, how could I make a mistake?
But I will always love you, and I only have you in my heart. I am really ashamed for making such a big mistake, wife, you must forgive me!

In short, under Zhao Fei's vigorous performance, sister Zi Yan was also quite moved.

In Zhao Fei's arms, Zi Yan said softly: "Your Majesty, in order to revitalize the royal family, you must get more concubines and have more children, so that I can make the foundation of Song Dynasty last for thousands of years."

"Well," Zhao Fei lowered his head and kissed his wife, "Yan'er, don't say that, I only love you."

"Your Majesty." Zi Yan blushed at that moment.

Seeing the beauty's blush as delicate and charming as a red Fuji, Zhao Fei couldn't help but move his index finger, and then he couldn't help but move his hands up and down.

"Your Majesty, don't be like this." Zi Yan twisted her body and said emotionally: "I can't stand it. If Your Majesty wants to, can I go to Fang Guiren now?"

Noble Fang was talking about Xiao Fang. Early in the morning, Empress Zi Yan canonized Xiao Fang as a nobleman, and then ordered the palace servants to help Xiao Fang go out to cultivate her body.

"There is such a great beauty like you by my side, why bother to look far away?" Zhao Fei giggled strangely, lowered his head to enclose Zi Yan's red lips and continued to attack.

"Hmm..." Zi Yan soon fell into Zhao Fei's deep kiss.

Fortunately, Ziyan still remembered that she was pregnant and had trouble having intercourse, and Zhao Fei also went crazy last night, although he hadn't run out of energy, he wasn't so angry.

The two of them just passed the addiction, so they ordered someone to come over and wait for them to change their clothes without mentioning it.

Military Department.

Zhao Fei looked at Qin Hui and other senior officials in surprise. The good mood he had up to now when he woke up in the morning disappeared completely after Qin Hui and others reported something.

"Tell me, who is so bold to beat the drum?" Zhao Fei asked strangely.

This Dengwen drum is also a feature of the Song Dynasty. Unlike ordinary drums, it is set up at the gates of various yamen, but at the gates of palaces.

The original intention of the Dengwen drum was to serve the people who were oppressed by the government and could not uphold justice. In the early years, maybe hundreds of years ago, the Dengwen drum was often played.

Because the drum was played for the emperor, naturally the emperor would personally settle the case no matter how big or small it was.

Who is the emperor?

He is the biggest official in the world, and he is here to solve the problem. Even if you want to sue the prime minister, as long as you have sufficient evidence, the court will accept and handle it.

But as the Dengwen drum became more and more famous, the role of the Dengwen drum became smaller.

The original intention of the Dengwen Drum was to deal with those earth-shattering unjust cases, or the high-ranking officials of the imperial court who broke the law and were not punished, but also because of the sound of the drum, the emperor immediately intervened, and the work efficiency was high, so the people in Chang'an City were free afterwards. Just ran to knock twice.

If you want to say that they are fine, so is he, but they are all trivial things, like when the vegetable vendor charged me an extra copper coin when I was buying vegetables.

Children's shoes, I'm the emperor?
I was born to deal with state affairs, and I don't even look at the court's expenses below 1 taels of silver, but now you ask me to deal with such a small matter as a copper coin, what do you mean?
It would be fine if it was just the people of Chang'an knocking randomly, and later it simply became a tool for officials to attack each other.

Because the Dengwen Drum was not played for reasons of injustice, so A and B had a conflict, and A ran to beat the Dengwen Drum. Let alone other things, first of all, in everyone's impression, there was something wrong with B.

May I ask which official in the imperial court has no problem?
But it's just the size of the problem. In short, it's fine if you don't check it. If you check it, it will definitely be a mess.

According to the court law, all officials must have the spirit of selfless dedication. You cannot be corrupt, you cannot accept bribes, and you cannot compete with the people for profit. There are requirements not only for you, but also for your family.

In short, the imperial court and the world require every official to have no desires and desires just like a saint, and only need the little salary issued by the imperial court to serve the people.

But the question is, do such people exist?
Surely it doesn't exist!

Even Confucius, who was honored as a sage in later generations, still had to eat meat!

Everyone has desires, and officials are basically a relatively elite group in society. Anyway, they are either high in IQ or high in EQ.

If you let such a person have no desires, no demands and selfless dedication, wouldn't that be nonsense?
Therefore, as long as you are not a legendary saint, you must not have no desires and desires. As long as you have desires and desires, then you will definitely have problems.

According to the court law, corruption is corruption, accepting bribes is accepting bribes, and fighting for profit with the people is fighting for profit with the people.

Specifically speaking, if you embezzle one tael of silver, it is corruption, and if you embezzle 1 taels of silver, it is also corruption. All corruption charges are the same.

Think about it, if you just investigate an official of the imperial court, even if the official is not corrupt, accepts bribes, and does not compete with the people for profit, but his family can't use his banner to make trouble?
The cheater is not an invention of later generations, but has existed since ancient times.

So because of the Dengwen drum, it resulted in a famous party dispute in the history of the Song Dynasty.

At that time, there were two factions in the court. You beat the Dengwen drum once, and I beat the Dengwen drum twice. After the court checked, there must be something wrong. According to the law, I’m sorry, you have to go away. The court must not have a corrupt person like you. official.

At the end of this incident, there were only two or three so-called Qingliu left in the court.

What is Qingliu?
This Qingliu is more hateful than corrupt officials, they are not greedy for money, they are greedy for fame.

In later generations, there was a man named Maslow, who invented a famous Maslow's theory of needs. He divided human needs into physiological needs, safety needs, love needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs.

This Qingliu is a ruthless person. They are not only ruthless to themselves, but also to their family members. He doesn't care if he can have enough food, he doesn't care if he is safe, and he doesn't care about the love of his family. They directly rise to the highest level, that is To achieve self-transcendence.

How to do it is to do everything according to the court regulations, and to demand yourself with perfect moral standards.

You say that such an official is good, fair, honest and self-disciplined, anyway, he is a perfect official.

But as the saying goes, if you don't do something, you will never make a mistake. Once you do something, no matter whether it is a big mistake or a small mistake, you will always make a mistake.

As clean streams of moral cleanliness, they cherish their reputation very much, and they are desperate to prevent themselves from being contaminated with any filth.

As Qingliu, they will never make mistakes, and the only way not to make mistakes is to not do anything.

Of course you will never make any mistakes without doing anything.

But the court is full of clean water, clean is clean, but the question is who will do the affairs of the court?
For example, now that there is a famine in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court definitely needs people to help the victims. This is hard work, but it is also a fat job.

You are holding so many disaster relief supplies from the imperial court, even if you don't reach out to grab them, the officials along the way will definitely treat you warmly.

This treat must be big fish and big meat, good wine and beautiful women.

So many people were affected by the disaster, and the supplies allocated by the imperial court were only so small, which county didn't want to get more relief supplies?
As an official distributing materials, he wanted to distribute the materials to the victims anyway, and he also gave them to whom. Anyway, they were all the victims. Anyway, they finally completed the task of the imperial court perfectly.

However, in this process, there must be some irregularities.

The Qingliu people just cherish their reputation, they are not stupid, and they naturally understand the tricks in it. If you let them go to disaster relief, it is better to let them move bricks to rebuild their homes.

So after that party struggle, all that was left of the entire imperial court were a few clear streams, clean and clean, but no one was doing anything.

The emperor at that time did not expect it to be so serious. Seeing that there was no one to do anything in the court, he had no choice but to issue an edict of guilt to himself, announcing that all of this was my fault and had nothing to do with my ministers , Then the world was amnesty, and all the dismissed officials came back to work.

But after this incident, the imperial court also knew that the side effects of the Dengwen Drum were so great, and then the Dengwen Drum was heavily protected.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to dismantle it directly, but after all, it was set up by the ancestors, so it can't be disturbed, so it has been kept.

In the following years, every time the Dengwen drum sounded, it would cause a sensation.

After all, this drum is guarded by thousands of soldiers, and it is not easy to beat this drum through the heavy defense line, nor is the reason for this drum beating.

Zhao Fei also found out about the drum by accident. It was just a joke at the time, but he didn't expect the drum to sound.
