Gu Yuanbai handled the affairs of the imperial censor and the king of Qi very quickly, and even the local officials who were too bold to hide the news and not report it were charged with embezzlement and collusion with Beijing officials before they arrived in the capital.
It should be said that they were already charged with this crime, but Chu Xun did not meet Gu Yuanbai's expectations. He was frightened by the death-threatening crises, and did not dare to find out the evidence of corruption by these people. In this case, Gu Yuan Bai had to do it himself.
The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are in the areas of Shandong and Henan. These corrupt officials dared to embezzle the emperor's money for disaster relief and repairing the river, not to mention the large granaries, meat warehouses and weapons warehouses in various places, and they don't know what these worms have turned into them. Sample.
As soon as these local officials were sent to the capital, they were immediately sent to the dungeon by Gu Yuanbai.
There is not a lot of evidence about them in his hands. These things have been sent to the relevant institutions for trial by Dali Temple one by one. How much people's fat and people's ointment they ate in their mouths and how much they took bribes should be found out one by one. As for the other people who colluded with these officials, the deeper ones, what he checked was only a shallow taste.
Scare these people who are hiding in the depths and give them a chance to return these corrupted things to him.
Gu Yuanbai doesn't need to know how many worms there are in the whole country, he only needs these worms to secretly spit out what they eat, as long as he spit it out before he finds it, before anti-corruption, Gu Yuanbai can turn a blind eye one eye.
First clean the censor's desk, and all those who have a record of corruption will be thrown into the Dali Temple, left clean, and then a new batch of staff will be brought in. Chu Wei had the arrogance and arrogance of the censor, and he also put him in it to temper his temper.
There is also Chu Xun, who will also be promoted.
And those who dared to speak for King Qi in the early court, they will be transferred from the capital to the place, their identity as Beijing officials will be erased to make up for these gaps, and then they will start to take on the anti-corruption action from the sage.
Don't you dare to take the money from the clan to speak for the clan
Then you can get me out of the political power center forever.
One by one, the people in the government affairs hall and the Privy Council were so busy that they were dizzy and dizzy, and no one in the entire court dared to breathe loudly. Gu Yuanbai's working hours also increased greatly, and when he came back to his senses, it happened to be the day when Censor Zhongcheng was searched and exiled.
On this day, Gu Yuanbai left all government affairs behind, took his personal bodyguard Xue Yuan and others, and went out of the palace in micro-clothing to see the exile scene of Censor Zhongcheng.
There was a long list of people who were extremely embarrassed. The first one was Censor Zhongcheng. His face was haggard, his eyes were hollow, and there was no hope of life.
His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and he was wearing a prison uniform.
The people standing on both sides yelled at these people, and threw rotten vegetables and leaves at the notorious people, and their faces were full of happy and resentful expressions.
"It's this person, who guards and steals! It's him who embezzles and colludes with local officials to fish and meat the people!"
"Too bad! A coward!"
Censor Zhongcheng... No, Feng Chengzhi, who was no longer Censor Zhongcheng, listened to the insults all the way, and suddenly felt that the Sage had placed him on the charge of corruption, prevented him from dying, and made him in the present situation, not because of the Sage's kindness.
The Holy One is not so merciful.
This is simply life rather than death.
Feng Chengzhi looked up at the restaurants and teahouses on both sides, and at the people who looked at him with disgust. The rotten vegetables and leaves in their hands were smashed head-on, and their disgusting and disgusting eyes seemed to be looking at some heinous bastard.
Asshole indeed...
Feng Chengzhi spent more than ten years in the Censor's Terrace before he took the position of the Censor's Taichung Chief. He naturally knew that as an official of the Censor's Terrace, guarding himself and stealing would have great consequences.
He also rarely accepts gifts, because once he finds out, he will be cast aside by thousands of people, which is even more disgusting than the usual corruption of officials.
And he really wasn't corrupt.
But the sage said yes, and he himself said yes, that is, a sinner through the ages.
A few years ago, the street that boasted the title of Jinbang was now a place where he was ridiculed. At that time, the people on the street and the students who fell out of the list looked at him with envy and jealousy, and now they have become disgusted and gloating.
Gu Yuanbai was dressed in regular clothes, and hid in a low-key manner among the layers of the crowd. He calmly looked at this group of sinners and their families who were spurned by the people.
In this group of people, there are weak and innocent women, and there are small and pitiful children. They are either in tears or uneasy and ignorant. What awaits them will be a nightmare future. In ancient times, crime, especially mortal sin, was a family unit.
The greater the opportunity, the higher the price to pay, but there are always people who think that they can get what they want without paying.
Gu Yuanbai felt that he was very cruel.
At this time, he looked at these innocent and implicated people with only regret and pity in his heart. Looking at the Censor Zhongcheng who was cursed by the people, his heart was also very calm.
There is always a price to be paid for doing something wrong. Since Censor Zhongcheng has boarded King Qi's boat, he must be prepared to be lifted off by Gu Yuanbai.
Not only were Li Shu civilians around, but there were also impassioned scholars. They yelled at Censor Zhongcheng, who was greedy and perverted the law. The veins on their necks appeared hideously, and they would blushed with every question.
Some people wrote poems and ridiculed them on the spot. When the limericks were written, the people around them applauded.
This is reality, and over time, it becomes history.
After Censor Zhongcheng was taken away, Gu Yuanbai turned around, and the people around him protected him out of the crowd. As soon as the dense crowd left, the air became better.
There were also many scholars in Confucian robes standing scattered outside. The sun was shining at noon, and Gu Yuanbai looked at the teahouses on both sides and said, "Let's go, find a cool place first."
Even under the sun, Gu Yuanbai's face was still white, and the slight sweat on his forehead was as clean as beads. The long hair that was tied up slid from the shoulders to the front, looking very cool.
Xue Yuan was so hot that he tugged at his neckline, and there were two hideous wounds on his neck that were bitten out. Tian Fusheng was beside him, and he smiled when he saw the injury: "Xuewei, this injury should be quite painful, right?"
That day, Xue Yuan carried the saint back to the palace with a bloody neck, because the blood was smeared, and no one saw what the wound was. Now that I see it, I don't even think about that day.
Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows, and out of the corner of the corner, he swiped across the saint's body, touched the wound, and said meaningfully: "It hurts, and the person who bites is very sharp."
Tian Fusheng smiled again and winked, "I didn't see Young Master Xue angry even with such sharp teeth."
"Why are you angry?" Xue Yuan said, "very bad-tempered."
Gu Yuanbai turned to look at them, "What are you talking about?"
Xue Yuan smiled slightly, "Liaochen's neck injury."
Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but glanced at his neck. There were two tooth marks on the left and the right. The bite was deep and ruthless. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, he might sigh in his heart that Xue Yuan last night. How rambunctious.
Gu Yuanbai said with a stern face: "Oh? How did Xue Weiwei get his wound?"
Xue Guards also pretended, "Of course it has nothing to do with the saint."
Tian Fusheng laughed out loud and was amused, "It's really interesting for us Xue Guards to talk." Of course, that had nothing to do with their saints.
Gu Yuanbai pulled the corners of his mouth, gave Xue Yuan a warning smile, and walked into a teahouse.
There is still a seat on the second floor. After Gu Yuanbai was seated, Tian Fusheng saw the sweat on his head and went to the kitchen of the restaurant to see if there was something to relieve fever.
Gu Yuanbai picked up the handkerchief and wiped off his sweat. Xue Yuan, who was beside him, poured out two cups of tea with a teapot, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Do you need the minister to try the poison first?"
"Drink," Gu Yuanbai said, "drink it up."
Xue Yuanyuan picked up the cup, and smacking his lips after drinking, "It's hard to drink."
He drank the cow in the same way as the prince. People and the prince would at least not say a word after drinking. Gu Yuanbai couldn't help laughing. He took the cup and said, "Drink your tea, don't say anything to spoil the fun."
Xue Yuan saw him smiling and taking a sip of the celadon cup, and the moist light touched his lips. Xue Yuan bowed his head, "The holy cup looks sweeter."
Gu Yuanbai lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: "It's in a pot."
Xue Yuan also frowned, he naturally knew that, he didn't understand why he felt this way, so he simply stopped talking.
A cool breeze blew in from the window. Gu Yuanbai looked out the window. The people who had gathered together had dispersed. He was about to look away, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Gu Yuanbai paused and looked outside again. The young man, tall, was Li Yan, the heir of the Marquis of Pingchang.
Li Yan's footsteps were hurried, and there were no servants to follow. He walked all the way to the corner next to the tavern, and his expression was also in a hurry.
Gu Yuanbai took a sip of tea calmly, and after a while, in the same place, he saw Tang Mian, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, the Shuji Shi of the Imperial Academy.
Tang Mian also walked into that alley, but compared to Li Yan's hurried look, he was calmer.
Gu Yuanbai put down the cup and squinted to look into the alley. What's in the alley, so that a prince of Pingchang and a son of a second-rank official can go in, and they go in at the same time by such a coincidence
Gu Yuanbai raised his chin and asked, "What's in that alley?"
Xue Yuan took a look, not very interested, and said casually: "The tavern."
Gu Yuanbai doesn't want to take care of everything. If he really wants to take care of everything, he shouldn't be the emperor, he'll be exhausted. The gathering of the two young people only aroused his interest. Gu Yuanbai was about to look away when he saw a carriage slowly approaching the street.
Coincidentally, the carriage also stopped at the entrance of the alley next to the tavern.
Gu Yuanbai: "..."
Who is this
He and the prince, dressed in black clothes, stepped down from the carriage with a dignified expression. There was a servile servant beside him.
Gu Yuanbai stood up directly and glanced meaningfully at the alley, "Let's go, Xue Shiwei, accompany me to see what treasures are in this alley."
It can attract so many people.
Xue Yuan got up, straightened his robes, and said, "Your Highness, please."
Gu Yuanbai walked out ahead, and Xue Yuan wanted to follow, but out of the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the half glass of water that the little emperor had not used up on the table, he picked it up and drank it.
Don't waste your money.
The alley was not big, and the three people who had just entered were extremely low-key. Gu Yuanbai asked the rest of the guards to wait in the teahouse, and took Xue Yuan down the teahouse alone.
Crossing the street and reaching the entrance of the alley, Gu Yuanbai originally thought it was a residential courtyard, but when he turned in, he saw a red-painted gate with lanterns hanging on it. A flag was erected beside the gate, and the book "Hundred Flowers Fragrance" "Three words.
There seemed to be a faint scent, Gu Yuanbai sniffed it, and felt that something was wrong with this place.
He turned his head and asked Xue Yuan, "What do you think?"
Mad dog, do you smell anything
Xue Yuan gave him a strange look, frowning, "Isn't it just a tavern?"
One of the ten taverns in Daheng can be called "Baihuaxiang".
Gu Yuanbai sighed, and walked slowly into Baihuaxiang with Xue Yuan. As soon as I entered the door, a strong aroma of wine and flowers came over. This yard is extraordinarily large, but the decoration is light and elegant with red gauze, which is quite sentimental.
A dozen or so handsome and smiling men in the courtyard were scattered everywhere to accompany the distinguished guests to enjoy the flowers and the scenery. Gu Yuanbai looked around and saw the man with powdered face walking towards him. , the corners of his mouth stiffened.
Oh, this turned out to be the rumored Nanfeng Pavilion.
In the Daheng Dynasty, it was expressly forbidden for government officials to stay with prostitutes.
Gu Yuanbai looked into the building, showing a smile that was not a smile. He was a court official and Nanfeng Pavilion. Why didn't he remember that he and the prince liked men
