Empress Xiaozhao

The Empress's face was even more important, so the compensation Imperial Consort De thought was insufficient.

After all, the emperor had never summoned the Imperial Consort De, and the empress had never said that the Imperial Consort De was meddling in the politics of the empire. This matter was just left to the wind in the end.

However, the imperial harem was not affected, but the imperial court was not. On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Chen Tingjing went on to do "Persuading the Insolence of the Insolence".

He said, "Those who are greedy and unscrupulous will get to govern the great pass; those who are frugal will get to be greedy and unscrupulous." "If you want to teach someone how to be honest, you have to be frugal first." Chen Tingjing felt that only by being extravagant and resulting in corruption could one be frugal and honest.

It was very obvious that the reason why Chen Tingjing had brought up this name was because the Emperor wanted to prune spring garden. Then, it was time for the work department's President to plan some silver for the Emperor.

Chen Tingjing had advanced for fifteen years, and his first selection was Shu Ji. After that, the Emperor bestowed a name and respect upon Chen Jing, who was from Shuntian Prefecture. So originally, Chen Tingjing was Chen Jing.

In these eighteen years, Shun Zhi had been bestowed with the title of lecturer by the Emperor. Therefore, in some aspects, Chen Tingjing could be considered the emperor's teacher.

"My dear sir, although the work department's Minister is in the wrong, this matter itself did not cause any major calamity. Teacher, seeing that the spring garden needs to be remodeled now, I will not pursue this matter anymore. "

He knew that Chen Tingjing was a straightforward person, the Emperor did not plan to punish Sa Muha in the first place. It was just that if Chen Tingjing did not make it to the assembly, it would not be good at all.

The Emperor wanted the spring garden to complete its transformation. If it was not possible to reform it well, the Emperor's plans would have to be delayed. Naturally, although it was necessary to punish corrupt officials, the Emperor felt that there was no need to rush it.

Even if it was later, it was still possible. After all, a monk could run, but not a temple. Now, since the work department Minister had no intention to withdraw from her position, only Sa Muha remained.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject does not wish to speak of the case of the work department President. His Majesty still remembers that Kang Xi was twenty-two years old. May 15th. Longmen earthquake. On the fifth day of the seventh month, an earthquake occurred in Dingxiang, killing more than a thousand people. On the 5th of October, the earthquake struck Paolo State, and people were crushed to death. The earthquake in Qiongzhou. "

"In the end of November of the 22nd year, there was a magnitude 7 earthquake in Xixian County. Among the 15 State County s of Taiyuan Prefecture, Daizhou, Pi County and Liangshan Mountains were the heaviest. More than 60 thousand houses have been destroyed in the houses of Zhe County. "

"His Majesty thought that the earth had shaken for a lifetime and sent out orders to help the victims. However, now that His Majesty has returned to the capital, this humble subject has discovered an extraordinary event. Now, we finally have an idea. "

For Chen Tingjing to be able to discover and investigate the case of corruption, the emperor would definitely be able to know a bit about it at this moment. It was most likely those officials who had colluded with the government to obtain the government's silver for the disaster.

Since then, since the time Emperor Kang Xi registered, there seemed to be no year in which this incident did not happen. Kang Xi Year 18, July 9th, Beijing Earthquake.

Tongzhou, Sanhe, Pinggu, Xianghe, Wuqing, Yongqing, Baodi, and Guan were all shaken as well. The sound was as loud as a car, as loud as thunder, as dark as the night.

On the 28th, Xuanhua, Kui Lu, Wuyi, Changli, Xincheng, Tangshan, Jingzhou, Shahe, Ningjin, Dongguang, Qingyun, Limitless earthquake. August, Wan Quan, Bao Ding, An Su repeatedly shook.

In September, Xiangyuan, Wuxiang, Xugou earthquake several times, the house has collapsed. October. The Lu'an earthquake. In November, there was a thunderous earthquake in Zunhua. The entire summer was filled with the punishments of the heavens.

Even though the emperor had taken timely measures, the capital was still suffering with countless casualties. The movements for the past three months had all occurred in the capital.

The person who was mobilizing the Emperor was the preacher, Nan Huairen. This is an earthquake, Your Majesty. It's a common occurrence. This is not a punishment from the heavens, so Your Majesty need not be troubled by it. "

After Tang Ruowang died, Nan Huairen replaced him and stayed in the Imperial Palace. The emperor had always been interested in Western things, especially when Tang Ruowang was a preacher at the same time.

"This matter, I understand, so you don't have to say too much. "I have my own thoughts. Let's go on." It was not as if there had not been a commotion in the capital before, but on the second day of the third month of the fourth year, Kang Xi made a sound.

When Kang Xi was eight years old, in the middle of September, the capital earthquake broke out. On the 28th of the 17th July, Kang Xi's capital was in an earthquake. Kang Xi had been married for four years and had been captured for eight years.

If these things were intentional on the part of the emperor, he would have already been scolded to death by the commoners. If the emperor had truly believed that this was a warning from the heavens, then he wouldn't have judged San Lian long ago.

However, because the Emperor did not believe, the Cabinet of Ministers wanted the Emperor to give them a decree of sin. This was why Emperor Kang Xi was so happy, it was because the emperor himself was not wrong.

"Since I have been controlling the Ji, I have been diligently seeking it. "All the sudden great earthquakes are caused by the lack of virtue, political discord, and the shared occupation of the great and the small, leading to disharmony between Yin and Yang, and to the warning of disasters."

Thus, even if the Emperor were to deliver the edict of sin, it would mostly be to pacify the Emperor. One must know that the Emperor had done many things in the past few years, but the old officials of the Ming Dynasty still remained.

After issuing the edict of sin, the Emperor led the civil and military officials to the altar to pray for forgiveness. The reason was that the capital was different from the previous years. The damage caused by this was also extremely great.

Because of this incident, the Emperor immediately ordered the work department and the Ministry of Revenue to the west suburbs, to the places such as Li Li. Appropriation was also timely, so even though there were still casualties in the end.

"However, the emperor had done his best to minimize the casualties." "I don't know what kind of news my beloved one received that would involve the imperial government."

What the Emperor needed was evidence. There was no basis for words.

If there was no solid evidence, even if the emperor was the emperor, he wouldn't be able to apprehend a minister just like that. Besides, after the Prime Minister had been deposed, the civil officials no longer had the first place.

The Six Paths have always been the masters of the Six Paths, and the closest officials of the Emperor are the Six Paths. Although the work department was a little inferior to the Department of Revenue, who was in charge of money, and the Department of the Civil Service, who was in charge of power.

However, the Emperor needed the work department. It was like the Yellow River bursting its banks or the annual movement of the earth. These repairs were handled by the work department.

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, it was clear that Chen Tingjing knew as well. His Majesty still remembers that in the beginning of the twenty-first year, His Majesty ordered the scouting of the Stone Scenic Mountain from the Lu Gou Bridge's stone embankment.

"In this official's land in the embankment, Kang Xi recruited people to clear the wasteland, causing harm to the roots of the embankment. Please dispense with the assignment and do not return to ploughing. " Afterwards, His Majesty approved of Sa Muha's suggestion.

In the last twenty-two years, His Majesty ordered everyone to observe the earthquake that struck Shanxi Province of Sa Muha. Right now, the reason Chen Tingjing was talking about the old story was simply because of these two things.

Coincidentally, it was evidence of's corruption, so Sa Muha's calculations were not as good as they thought. At least, someone had caught on to something, and it just so happened that Chen Tingjing was involved in a play.

"I don't know teacher, but there is evidence." The emperor naturally believed that Chen Tingjing wouldn't shoot for no reason. Even though the Emperor still didn't understand why this matter of greed for ink would only occur after a year had passed.

"Remember, you must deliver this account book to the Chen Residence, Ning'an Lane, in the capital. "As long as you go to the capital and find Ning An alley and tell me my name, you will naturally be able to enter."

In the past twenty years, Kang Xi had caused the earth in the western part of the mountain to shake. Even the capital, which was a thousand miles away, felt shaken. Thus, the Emperor found out very quickly that the designated location was also the fastest way to arrange for disaster relief.

The emperor's decree had been announced, and the imperial government had also sent out money to provide relief. Even the work department's Minister had been personally ordered by the Emperor and was sent to the Great Western Continent to be promoted. However, things were not as the Emperor had expected.

Xie County was a part of the Daizhou, while the Daizhou's Prefecture and Taiyuan were not too far away. When Kang Xi was twenty-two years old, the Daizhou's Prefect was Zhang Yang.

However, Zhang Yang could be considered an honest man. Most of the officials held the thought of marrying him or bringing honor to their ancestors. Hence, if one really wanted to find someone like Yu Chenglong, there were very few of them.

Although Zhang Yang could not be like Yu Chenglong, who would give his official salary to the commoners year after year, but for the emperor's silver, Zhang Yang would never put his money away.

Zhang Yang had already made up his mind. All five members of the Zhang family depended on Zhang Yang for a living. In the early years, Zhang Yang only knew the county when his family still needed his wife to sew rice.

As an official, social interaction was inevitable. It was just like filial piety to a superior, whose superior also had a superior. Just like this, the rings intertwined with each other. The Emperor himself could not suppress corruption, simply because corruption began in the capital.

The source was the Imperial Palace. In the imperial harem, even eunuchs needed to be organized. The Emperor himself does not always receive a very expensive present every year on the day of his birthday.

Where did all these things come from? The cream of the people.

Even under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were still bones that starved to death. Not to mention that this was a remote and successful location. The Tang Dynasty was not flourishing right now, and the capital was in Chang'an. Therefore, the Daizhou was not far from the capital.

After the work department went to the Daizhou, on the day of his arrival, the Prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture would welcome him with a wash of dust. The world outside was dark, and a strong gale swept the yellow sand into the sky.

Inside the Tai Yuan Manor, it was resplendent with dazzling splendor. The bright lights from all over the place could not penetrate into the darkness. I can't dispel the haze. Along with the candle flame, it was a popular song and the laughter of the female dancers.

"Great Master Zhang, everything is of low quality. Only the word 'patience' is the way out." Seeing Zhang Yang accompanying them, it seemed like he couldn't bear it any longer. As his colleague, Lord Xiao had no choice but to remind him.

The Lan Ling Xiao clan had always been a clan of one hundred years. It was just that, after the Yuan Dynasty, the Great Qing had come to this day. The current Xiao Clan was similar to the Wang Xie's family from back then.

Flying Swallow would fly into the glorious Wang Xie Hall, but Wang Xie's Gyokuro Ganoderma was long gone. This was reality, this was history.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao. I am ashamed."

Zhang Yang knew what Lord Xiao meant. Now that the work department was an important member of the first rank, even if he wanted to be promoted to an official, he had to curry favor with him. Otherwise, there would have been a terrible earthquake in Daizhou.

Those who had no one to rely on, those who were widowed and had their houses destroyed, could no longer count on the Emperor. He could only count on the current work department Minister, this Lord Messenger.

If he did not do it himself, he would have offended an imperial official. Being ousted or ostracized was a small matter. If they had to implicate innocent people because of this, that would be the big deal.
