Chapter 160: Judgment
If conditions permit, Xu Qing even wants to set up a big Chu anti-corruption and bribery bureau in Yushitai, the kind that specializes in arresting corrupt officials...
It depends on whether the King Xian will listen to the persuasion, but judging from what happened just now, the King Xian will probably force the emperor to listen to the persuasion, and this matter has nothing to do with him...
Of course, perhaps Xu Qing's copying from books is not suitable for this era at all, but doing something is better than doing nothing.
...
During the palace dinner
Xiao Ruxue handed over the document written by Xu Qing to King Xian.
The virtuous king was naturally very happy for Xu Qing to offer advice and suggestions for Da Chu. After receiving the document handed over by Xiao Ruxue, he looked at it, and frowned when he looked at the virtuous king.
King Xian looked up at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Is this written by Xu Qing?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Yes, Xu Qing said that there is a lot of room for improvement in Da Chu's supervision system, so he wrote such a memorial for his daughter to show to the king. If there is anything inappropriate, Xu Qing Please change it."
Xian Wang said: "Let's not talk about whether it is suitable or not, Xue'er, are you sure he has finished writing this memorial?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded her head as a matter of course and said, "It's finished, Xu Qing said it herself."
King Xian took a look at the memorabilia that contained nothing but a skeleton... This thing is really a complete product, who would believe it!
This can no longer be described as simple! Could it be that Xu Qing is so lazy that he started cutting corners in the memorials he submitted to him about the court's political affairs? ! How dare Zhu Zi'an do this? !
second day
Xian Wang didn't go to the bookstore, and directly asked Xiao Ye to summon Xu Qing to the mansion.
After Xu Qing bowed and saluted, the virtuous king waved Xu Qing to sit down, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, this king knows your talent, and the new law has been fully verified, but there are some things in your memorial that are fundamentally wrong." Can't connect, Xue'er said that your restructuring plan is already finished, are you sure you haven't messed with me?!"
Xu Qing quickly shook his head and said: "My lord, I assure you that I will never mess around!"
No deletion? It's a ghost if you don't delete it!
Are you really writing those words? Can King Xian understand it? Maybe I will be regarded as possessed by evil spirits by the people of this era!
Although Xu Qing had the idea of planting red flags all over the world at the beginning, it was just a thought. Before he is able to realize this lofty ambition, it is more important to save his life first!
The virtuous king looked at Xu Qing, and then at the memorandum: "If you are so nonsense, then take this memorandum back, this king will not be able to pass this test, let alone the civil and military officials above the court? Although this king I have to admit that there are a lot of constructive suggestions in your memorial, but you have to complete this memorial for me first, and the imperial court can’t pass such an extremely crude memorial, let alone implement it.”
Xu Qing coughed and said, "My lord, no matter how talented I am, I'm just a young man who will be less than seventeen years old... I don't know everything... Even if I write it, it may be just It is a work of my own imagination. Just like what is the Great Chu Dynasty? What are the duties and powers of officials? I don’t know these things... This memorial is to provide a direction for restructuring, an idea, and even this idea. Whether it is correct or not is up to the prince and the officials to decide whether it is correct or not. Even if it is determined to be suitable, how to fill its core should be a matter for the court, right? I am really not omnipotent..."
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing, and at this moment he remembered that Xu Qing is just a young man, not even at the age of crowning.
In view of the miracles created by Xu Qing these days, the virtuous king often subconsciously ignores Xu Qing's own age. At this moment, when Xu Qing said it, he realized that he is powerful and no matter how much he knows, but his ability has its limit. .
Let a young man who has never set foot in the imperial court make a detailed restructuring of a certain department and power in the imperial court that only the prime ministers of the past dynasties can do... This is not something that can be done by force, it is a way of forcing people to death!
...
In fact, if Xu Qing is really asked to write, it is not impossible for Xu Qing to write, but as he said, what he writes may be nothing more than his own imagination.
Xu Qing's best way is to give a framework that has been stripped and nothing is left. As for what to fill in, that is the business of civil and military officials.
Of course, Xu Qing has another scruple in doing this. How many people's interests were touched by Shang Yang's reforms? How many people have been offended? What happened in the end? The car cracked!
Since ancient times, restructuring has always required taking risks! If you change it, you will unknowingly offend others! Xu Qing is not willing to take this kind of risk!
Therefore, Xu Qing decided to only give the framework and ideas. As for how to add content to meet the national conditions of Chu State? Add it yourself, it has nothing to do with me! Life matters!
...
Facts have proved that with the intervention of Prince Xian's mansion, the process of the state government usually goes very fast!
Just like how he dealt with Xu Sima this time, it was like how he dealt with Zhou Xianwei last time.
But two days later came the day of Xu Sima's trial.
Because the evidence this time was submitted by the magistrate of Su County, the magistrate of Su County was also summoned to court as a witness.
Because Xu Qing was worried about this father-in-law... It should be said that Xu Qing was afraid that his father-in-law would not fully explain the crimes of the Xu family and make the Xu family's crimes lighter, so he himself went with his father-in-law. Qian Qian saw that there was no one at home, so she followed.
Since the case involved a lot of money, the case was judged by the virtuous king himself.
One hundred thousand taels is huge. If the virtuous king found out a few more corrupt officials like Xu Sima, he would have been able to complete the replacement of military horses even without horseshoes!
This is also the reason why King Xian hates corrupt officials. He has been busy trying to figure out ways to get some money, but you guys are lucky to get money so that you can live comfortably! This king is not envious or jealous, this king is hate!
The moment Xu Sima was escorted to the court and saw Su County Magistrate and Xu Qing, he understood everything and sued himself for corruption...it turned out to be them! It turned out to be them! Why are they doing this! ?
I have to say that when Xu Sima gave the money, he never thought that the county magistrate Su would sue him for corruption and bribery, because the 60,000 taels is strictly speaking dirty money. Become evidence and be confiscated by the court.
Do you want 60,000 taels of silver or is it just to win your morale?
Any fool knows that of course it costs 60,000 taels of silver! If you take your salary honestly, you won't be able to earn 60,000 taels in your whole life!
Is there really such a person in the world who is more stupid than a fool?
Only now did Xu Sima realize that there really are...
