As a result, due to the grain purchase incident in Jiyin County, grain prices in Jiyin, Dongjun, Dongping, Liangjun, Xingyang and other places skyrocketed, which then affected Luoyang and other places, and finally triggered a nationwide warehouse inspection. However, this did not

It was not an isolated incident, but also involved issues such as corruption and bribery, collusion between government and businessmen, rampant corruption in the countryside, etc., which also turned the warehouse inspection case into an anti-corruption campaign sweeping the country.

The entire officialdom of the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, and the hard work of the seven noble families in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty was inevitably severely damaged.

During this critical period, you cannot protect yourself. If you jump out to cause trouble again, what else is it but seeking death?

"Yes!" Lu Zhaochun responded respectfully.

At this time, a family member came to Lu Yu's side and whispered: "Master, Zheng Gong Cong, please see me."

Lu Yu smiled faintly and said to Lu Zhaochun: "Look, someone with the same idea as you is here."

Lu Zhaochun knew that the head of the family was using him to accuse Zheng Yuancong of being short-sighted, so he smiled and said, "Perhaps he came to question him for food."

"It's possible." Lu Yu smiled slightly and did not criticize the little thoughts of his descendants. He was also young and knew that the younger generations were very concerned about face and needed encouragement rather than accusations. He looked back and said to the family: "Please

Mr. Zheng comes to the study to meet you."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he stood up and walked away.

The rocking chair under the tree kept shaking.

…

"Move the capital? Move the capital to something? There's something wrong..." Yang Tong, who was in the palace, also heard the 'rumour of moving the capital'. He said to Fang Xuanling who came to report: "Send the order and post it on the official walls of each quarter."

Notice, just say that I will not move the capital in this life."

"Here!" Fang Xuanling responded and said: "This rumor has spread too fast. I'm afraid someone is taking advantage of the flood to deliberately put the capital into panic."

"Who do you think is causing trouble?"

"The late emperor moved the capital, causing damage to the nobles of Guanlong and benefiting the nobles of Shandong. If the emperor moved the capital, it would be the opposite."

"Ninety percent of the power of the Guanlong nobles lies on the surface, in the army. They were optimistic about Li Yuan at first, so they all surrendered to the Puppet Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan killed all the forces on the surface; the hidden forces were also involved in the Daxing Palace Rebellion and the assassination incident last year.

After winning, even if there are still fish that slip through the net, they will be very few and will not become a phenomenon; I don’t think there are still nobles in Long who will come out to cause trouble."

"Your Majesty is wise." Fang Xuanling complimented, and then analyzed: "Wei Chen believes that this is the Shandong nobles who are causing trouble, and the purpose is to frame the remnants of the Guanlong nobles. After all, the Guanlong nobles have picked up their knives to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. The imperial court is against the Sui Dynasty.

It is normal for the Guanlong nobles to attach great importance to them. If the imperial court turns its attention to the notorious Guanlong nobles, then the Shandong nobles will have room for change."

"The nobles think too much!" Yang Tong said with a smile: "Continue to strengthen the attack."

"This... I think this is enough." Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, cruel officials are more harmful than anything else! In the Han Dynasty, cruel officials dared to humiliate ministers in court and did not avoid relatives and nobles. When he was the eunuch, as soon as he took office,

He hunted and killed the dandy children and defeated the powerful, so that the powerful did not dare to look at him, so he called him the "Goshawk". Zhang Tang specialized in ruling the princes and princes, and was famous for killing powerful people and wealthy businessmen. When Wang Wenshu was in charge of Guangping, he hunted and killed the people in the county.

He was so powerful and cunning that he killed more than a thousand households and caused bloodshed for more than ten miles. In less than a year, he killed even the barking thieves. It can be said that there are no missing items on the road! These cruel officials are not only capable, but they are also members of their own clan.

He is also quite honest. Zhidu never accepted gifts in his life, and did not even open personal letters sent to him by relatives and friends. After Zhang Tang died, his inheritance was less than 500, and Wang Wenshu did not even have 50 gold. I, the cool official Shedi during the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty

Scholars and scholars were even more willing to live in poverty, their families had no money, and they could not survive day and night. Such officials should be praised by everyone for their ability and integrity, and their names should be remembered in history. However, everyone from officials to the people hate them to the bone, and some are even more so.

The stench lasts for thousands of years, does Your Majesty know why?"

"Why?" Yang Tong was a little confused. Isn't this kind of person the kind of positive energy that should be promoted?

Fang Xuanling said: "This is because their methods are very cruel, and they often expand small crimes into major crimes that implicate nine clans. Whenever they encounter a case, they are afraid that the case will not be serious, and the scope of the implication will not be wide. The relatives and friends of the criminals who fall into their hands are left and right.

No one in the neighborhood knows whether the murderous steel knife will fall on their head inexplicably, causing people everywhere to panic. Therefore, these people are nominally enforcing the law for the country, but in fact they are destroyers of the legal system and local peace. These people

The cruel officials ignore the reality and try to solve all problems with harsh punishments. This is completely a waste of time. They don't think about how to stop the problems from happening. They just want to use violent torture to maintain the situation they want to see. Even if there are some results,

But hidden behind the results is a thousand times more serious hatred and hatred."

"When Yan Yannian, a cruel official of the Han Dynasty, served as the prefect, in order to establish his authority, he gathered all the prisoners from various counties into the county government. He did not distinguish between prisoners and killed them, and he did not care whether they deserved to die or not. In short, they were all slaughtered. After that, under his jurisdiction, but when encountering a small number

The criminals were all executed, so that no one committed any crime, and the common people were almost at peace. However, within a few years, more people took desperate risks, and the number of thieves became more and more intense, and finally it turned into a rebellion. Faced with this situation, the people expressed their desire to

Corrupt officials should not be cruel to officials. The reason is that although corrupt officials seek illegal wealth, they are not as easy to kill as cruel officials. People can report and expose corrupt officials, but against cruel officials, people dare to be angry but dare not speak out, or even dare not be angry or dare to speak out.

"

"Your Majesty, the purposes of cruel officials throughout the ages are nothing more than two. One is to please the emperor with so-called political achievements and gain promotion; the other is to have too good a reputation, but do not know what they are doing, and step by step they are close to being infamy for thousands of years. What the minister said is 'enough is enough'

'It is because of this concern that I am worried that if I correct too much, I will suffer the consequences."

Hearing this, Yang Tong felt awe in his heart, "I understand, cruel officials are a double-edged sword that hurts others and ourselves. Therefore, when facing various social problems, we should provide evidence from multiple sources, then discuss the matter and impose sanctions in accordance with the law, instead of killing to stop killing."

.In the future, all those involved in capital crimes will be tried according to the regulations, and criminals will be executed without authorization...The court will hold them accountable..."

"Here!" Fang Xuanling was afraid that Yang Tong would connive with cruel officials and ruin the good situation.

The monarch and his ministers talked about the Shandong nobles again, and Fang Xuanling left in a hurry.

He is the official minister, but he is not as leisurely as Yang Tong.

…

Yang Tong had nothing to do and was about to return to the palace. Wei Fengwu had a bigger reaction to the pregnancy. She was vomiting all day long with tears in her eyes, and she was listless and sick, which made him really worried.

As soon as they arrived at Tongxin Pavilion behind Guanwen Hall, they heard Jiang Fengyi shout loudly: "Don't delay, everyone, invite all the doctors!"

Yang Tong stepped forward quickly: "What happened?"

Jiang Fengyi said anxiously: "Husband, the queen has fetal force and pain in her abdomen."

"What?"

When Yang Tong heard this, his heart tightened. Given the medical conditions of this era, a woman's pregnancy and childbirth meant she had to pass through the gate of hell. Therefore, once a pregnant woman was ill, it was a serious matter that could not be ignored.

Without saying a word, he strode towards Fengyi Palace. Jiang Fengyi trotted after her. Yang Tong asked as he walked: "Although Xiaowu's reaction to the fetus is big, the doctors said it was a normal objection. Why did she suddenly react so well?"

What if you have fetal bloating?"

Jiang Fengyi said breathlessly: "I'm not sure, I just heard Lujiang calling for someone. When I got there, I found out that the queen had fetal force, so I hurriedly sent someone to find a doctor..."

The two of them rushed to Wei Fengwu's residence while talking to each other, but the concubines had already arrived one step ahead. Changsun Wugou was a disciple of Zhangqiu Taiyi and Yang Tong's senior sister. She knew some medical skills, and Xiao Yuexian seemed to know the same, so they each captured the guards.

Feng Wu felt her pulse with one hand and nervously asked questions here and there.

Wei Fengwu lay on the bed and repeatedly said that she was fine and there was no need to mobilize troops, as if she were facing a formidable enemy. No one knew whether she was answering Changsun Wugou or Xiao Yuexian.

Yang Qinfang was also standing on the side, with tears streaming down her eyes. She didn't know whether she was anxious or frightened, but it looked like he was the cause of the trouble.

Yang Tong walked in and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Wu, how do you feel?"

Seeing that his voice had changed due to nervousness, Wei Fengwu said rather sweetly: "Husband, don't worry, it's just a slight pain in the abdomen. It'll be fine just lie down. I'm really fine. Everyone can rest assured."

Yang Tong saw that the room was full of people, "Everyone, please go out. Wugou, Yuexian, I, and I will just stay here. You guys guard all the intersections. If the doctor comes, please come over quickly."

"Here." A bunch of young wives and palace ladies responded and retreated one after another. Yang Qinfang hesitated, but finally said nothing. She lowered her head, shed tears, and left while biting her lip.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Yang Tong carefully stroked Wei Fengwu's belly and asked softly: "Does it still hurt?"

Wei Fengwu said helplessly: "Husband, I'm really fine! I just had a bad temper and made everyone feel like they were facing an enemy. I'm sorry."

"Husband, Sister, everything is fine." Xiao Yuexian put down Wei Fengwu's wrist and said cautiously.

Changsun Wugou also said: "Yes, it's indeed okay."

Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wei Fengwu: "How did you get the fetal gas?"

Wei Fengwu rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "This is all your fault."

"It's really your husband's fault." Changsun Wugou looked like he couldn't help laughing, "Yue Xian, are you right?"

"Well! It's indeed your husband's fault." Xiao Yuexian blushed and looked weird.
