Blue Sky

Watching Elder Li and Elder Guo leave, Xia Ping'an put away the "Begging is not necessary for dirty officials" world bead, then called the shopkeeper he had summoned before, and took another formation plate that was exactly the same as before.

Give it to the shopkeeper and let him set up a stall in the trading market to see if he can exchange for some boundary beads.

As for Xia Pingan himself, he quickly flew back to his training tower. After summoning Xia Laifu and the God of Fortune, and protecting the training room with a formation disk, he took out the world bead he had just obtained.

"It seems that today is really my harvest day, being able to fuse so many world beads!" Xia Pingan, who was holding the dark world bead, smiled slightly, then looked at the world bead and sighed again.

"Begging for Don't Use Dirty Officials" is a memorial written by Bao Zheng to Song Renzong when he was the censor.

During the Renzong era, the officialdom had become increasingly corrupt. Officials at all levels in the Song Dynasty were seeking power and accepting bribes day by day. Corrupt officials could not be punished. Even if corrupt officials were occasionally exposed, they would be sentenced lightly for serious crimes, or they would be removed from office and reinstated at the end of the day.

They pay bribes and then find a backer, or they move to become officials to avoid the limelight, or they are nepotistic and cling to classmates and fellow villagers. These corrupt officials are full of tricks and have no fear of the court's laws, but the people of the world see it, but they dare not get angry.

He said that he was increasingly disappointed with the court and resentful.

In response to this situation, Bao Zheng, who was jealous of evil and upright, saw how corrupt the officialdom of the imperial court was, so he wrote this famous "Memorandum" to Emperor Renzong, demanding that the imperial court severely punish corrupt officials and never hire "dirty officials" with stains.

When Bao Zheng wrote this memorial, he was using the power of one person to fight against the entire officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Once the memorial was published, Bao Zheng became a thorn in the side of all "dirty officials" and those who appointed "dirty officials", but Bao Zheng still

Not afraid, still working hard, and well deserved the name of Qingtian.

However, a corrupted court cannot be saved by an upright official, even if the upright official is Bao Zheng. Sixty-four years after the death of Song Renzong, the most shameful scene in Chinese history, the Jingkang Shame, broke out. This is Xia Ping'an's sigh.

reasons.

Gathering up the little emotion in his heart, Xia Pingan dropped blood on the boundary bead, and in the blink of an eye, it was wrapped in a cocoon of light.

…

Opening his eyes, Xia Pingan found that there was a desk in front of him. He was holding a brush in his hand, and he was in a simple study. Outside the study, the sun was shining brightly, and the chirping of birds could be heard.

On the table in front of him, a piece of white paper was spread on the table. On the right hand side of the white paper, there were already written the six words "Begging for help without dirty officials".

A middle-aged staff member with a long beard was standing next to the desk, pressing one hand on the inkstone to prevent Xia Pingan from dipping the pen in ink. He looked at himself anxiously and advised earnestly, "

Sir, please think twice. Nowadays, the officialdom in the world is becoming increasingly rotten. This is the custom in all places. In that yamen and in every state and government, there are no dirty officials. Everyone in the court understands this tacitly. For a dirty official, some people protect him, some promote him, and some use him.

To cover it up, there are people who can help them reduce big things to trivial matters. Behind a dirty official is a large group of people or even a yamen. You will make countless enemies by doing this. It is too dangerous and a wise man will not do it!"

"That's why I want to write this memorial and present it to the saint!" Xia Ping'an looked at the words on the table, quickly entered the role, and said with a serious face, "Integrity officials are the people of all peoples.

As an example, corrupt officials are the thieves of the people. How can the country and the country govern the people with thieves? By appointing thieves as officials, the imperial court is slaughtering and trampling on the hearts of the people in the world, causing people to lose their hearts and create discord inside and outside.

At the moment, the world seems to be peaceful, and the harm caused by the dirty officials is not obvious. However, once the external thieves invade in the future, something unexpected will happen. How can the people of the world be willing to be driven by the thieves and do their best to serve the internal thieves? The Song Dynasty Sheji, because of these internal thieves

Therefore, it is like a tower of sand that can be overthrown overnight. If I am not good at reading this memorial, I will feel uneasy!"

"Of course what your Excellency said is reasonable, but this court is not a place that is completely reasonable!" The staff member shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Once this memorial is published, it is tantamount to risking the disdain of the world. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid your Excellency will have to be the first to do so.

Come and bear it!”

Xia Ping'an said generously, "During the Han Dynasty, corrupt officials who committed crimes for personal gains were never allowed to serve, and their descendants were not allowed to serve as officials. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, corrupt officials had to perform hard labor, even if it coincided with the imperial court's amnesty.

Send them back to their place of origin and never hire them. This is the behavior of the imperial court and the expectations of the people of the world. How can I risk the world's disapproval with this memorial? The real people who risk the world's disapproval are the officials who have been appointed.

, Sir, don’t try to stop me. I am loyal to the emperor for the sake of the great Song Dynasty and the common people of the Song Dynasty. I can take my head at any time. If you have the ability, feel free to take it!"

Seeing Xia Pingan's firm attitude, the staff member could only sigh, looked at Xia Pingan with admiration and helplessness, finally took his hand away from the inkstone, saluted Xia Pingan, and then exited the study.

Xia Pingan was the only one left in the study. Xia Pingan was quiet for a moment, looked at the writing on the paper, dipped his pen in ink, and started writing——

I heard: A person who is honest is an example to the people, and a person who is greedy is a thief to the people. Today, there are many counties and counties, and there are many officials, but the stolen goods and corruption are spread out, and there is no day without them. Bring a case to the table, or borrow money to get it all.

When he was alive, he might have given favors to get rid of his provocations. Although there were strict laws and regulations, they were just empty words. Greedy and obscene people had no fear. In the past and Han Dynasty, those who committed crimes for illicit gains and illicit gains had their descendants imprisoned, and they were committing crimes themselves! Taizong

During the dynasty, several officials committed crimes, and they were appointed as supervisors and servants of the Shaofu. They were pardoned and said to the officials: "Since this person has committed corruption, he can only banish him and not be reinstated." He was blamed for corruption.

Damn it, be careful of the name and weapon like this! All the decrees of the previous dynasty can be followed. If you want to beg in the future to compensate for the crime of stolen goods, you will not be lenient and apply in accordance with the regulations. Even if you are amnesty, you will not be hired; or if the crime is minor

, he has no choice but to be appointed deputy envoy and superior officer. In this way, honest officials will know what they are advised to do, and greedy officials will know what they are afraid of.

Xia Ping'an finished writing "Begging for Don't Use Dirty Officials" in one go. Before the ink dried, the "Begging for Don't Have Dirty Officials" on the table began to glow, and the world of Jie Zhu suddenly shattered.

…

In the secret room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes and fused the world bead. In less than ten minutes, the upper limit of the secret mandala's divine power increased a little as expected.

After fusing this world bead, Xia Pingan had no world bead to fuse for the time being, so he simply took out the materials for refining the machine puppet and started to refine the machine puppet in the training tower.

…

Xia Pingan was in the training tower and didn't care about things outside. In fact, on the night when Xia Pingan came to the Blood Front base, a news had spread throughout the Blood Front base - Heyunshan mine owner Mei Zheng resigned as mine owner.
