Chapter 567 Routines

After hearing this, Zhao Bing broke out in a cold sweat. Whether the mainstream of the "official" group is mostly gentlemen or villains is directly related to the moral loyalty and greed and cruelty of the entire society. Ww    W.

『BiQuGe.

If CN is a villain who holds great power, it will inevitably lead to the mutual cooperation between civil and military officials in the court, forming a situation where bad money is eliminated in all aspects. It would be a novelty if honest people can be promoted.

Once the bad guys take over the power and manipulate their subordinates according to the rules of the game that is completely opposite to the normal order of the court, in this case, the local officials will either make a fuss for the tiger or be dismissed and eliminated, and there is no third way to go. When they form a climate, carpet-like, collapse-like manner, not only will it involve officials at all levels, but even clerks and barons have the opportunity to make a big fuss, and the court has no way to start if they want to rectify them.

Thinking about it, I was fortunate to choose an upright person like Yingjieyan, Jiang Xu as an official in the mansion, Zhao Mengjin, Cai Wanyi, Liu Zhu, Zheng Huchen and other generals who were still as shameless and loyal and loyal as auxiliary officials, and did not rashly appoint those who were just famous. Of course, Zhao Bing did this at that time because of the need to save his life to prevent him from being sold. In addition, in order to gain a foothold in Qiongzhou, he almost changed all the officials who had problems, so that he had the situation today. Although this was mostly due to accidentality, it was shocking to think about it now.

"Sir, when these treacherous slander first appeared, why can't the upright people in the court kill them in the bud, but instead use them to form a situation where they are too big to lose?" Zhao Bing knew that bad guys could not be refined in one day. Not all the kings of the Song Dynasty in the past three hundred years were foolish, and there were a lot of famous officials. In addition to political needs, so many treacherous officials also needed to reflect.

"Your Majesty's words hit the point." Deng Guangjian said, "In the Renzong Dynasty, most scholars could follow the words of sages, cultivate themselves, manage their families, and govern the country as their life creeds. They were ashamed of extravagance, and even sneer at the corruption and ugly behavior. They often fought for political affairs and even lost their official positions, but they were all respected gentlemen. Emperor Renzong was reigned for forty-two years, and later generations said that the court had never been without villains, but they were not enough to defeat the good. The compassion of the monarch and ministers and loyal policies were to cultivate the foundation for more than 300 years of the Song Dynasty. Although there were corrupt officials in the past hundred years before the Shenzong Dynasty, they could be just an individual case and severely punished, and it was difficult to correct the uprightness."

"The corruption in our dynasty began when Wang Jiefu became prime minister. In order to promote the new law, he did not hesitate to use officials with lack of qualities such as Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, and Cai Jing to become prime ministers. A large number of upright people who opposed the new law were expelled from the court, resulting in the loss of the integrity and integrity that the ancestors cultivated in the past century. The officials in the court began to blatantly engage in corruption, the Zhezong Dynasty was intensified, and the Huizong Dynasty reached its peak. After the migration of the south, although this decadence was curbed, it was already difficult to return, and finally it was too late to recover due to illness!"

"This..." Zhao Bing was stunned when he heard this. In his memory of his previous life, Wang Anshi was a positive example. He was not only one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties in literary history, but also a reformer who was determined to reform and implemented a strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Later generations also had a high evaluation of his virtue. He was simple, frugal, knowledgeable, talented, and had a high prestige among the literati and officials at that time. He was the only prime minister in history who did not sit in a sedan chair or take concubines, and had no inheritance after his death. This was obviously a representative of devoted himself and a model of being an official, but in Deng Guangjian's mouth, he became the culprit who led to the rampant treacherous and slanderous officialdom in the Song Dynasty and the culprit.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of defaming Mr. Jiefu, and I admire his character very much. However, his changes in the laws of ancestors and misunderstood people, causing party disputes, which really led to the rampant traitors in our dynasty." Deng Guangjian looked at the little emperor's shocked look and immediately realized that his words had subverted his understanding of Wang Anshi and explained hurriedly.

"Yeah." Zhao Bing closed his mouth and nodded, thinking that history is just a little girl, so he took it out and dressed it up to support his point of view. And a celebrity like Wang Anshi did do something that was just for future generations. When he opposed the change, he was a treacherous; when he needed the change, he was a hero. However, scholars today seem to be dissatisfied with his reform, but they still highly respect his character, and it is fair to see it in this way.

"Alas, with Mr. Jiefu's knowledge, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and cannot see through people's hearts, how can I distinguish between loyalty and treacherous?" Zhao Bing turned to think that the evil people from ancient times to the present have no label on their faces. However, these people do everything they can to achieve the goal of gaining personal gain, and sometimes they even act more gentle than gentlemen. Even modern times with extremely high technology are also difficult to distinguish, and he, a fledgling "politician", is even more hopeless. Thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although loyalty and treacherous are difficult to distinguish, there are traces to follow. As long as you are always vigilant, there will be no major mistakes..." Deng Guangjian saw that his teachings not only failed to make His Majesty firmly resolve to punish evil, but instead made him dejected. If the little emperor was really frightened by what he said and went with the flow, wouldn't he become a sinner for the ages? He hurriedly explained...

Zhao Bing listened to Deng Guangjian's great argument. He found that no matter how many people are, the treacherous and slandered are nothing more than those methods, and they are all the same routine:

One used special relationships to gain the upper hand. Cai Jing's son Cai You was a rogue who didn't even pass the Jinshi exam. He became the prime minister because of his father's official position. In just a few years, he went from being the "Imperially Give Jinshi" to a third-rank high-ranking official. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao, the traitor, climbed to a high position step by step through his sister's entry into the palace. This is no different from the prevalence of modern nepotism. The selection of talents and not avoiding marriage became their shield.

The two were to win high positions by currying favor with powerful ministers and subordinates. This phenomenon was quite common in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. Liang Chengda, one of the "three evildoers", tried his best to curry favor with Wan Xin, the slave of Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, when he was a county magistrate. Wan Xin once revealed to Liang Chengda that Shi Miyuan disliked the famous minister Zhendexiu very much. Liang Chengda immediately stated that he could do the matter well as promoted. Wan Xin passed on Liang Chengda's words to Shi Miyuan. A few years later, Liang Chengda entered the Censorate and immediately played Zhendexiu. Because he clinged to Shi Miyuan, Liang Chengda was promoted while corrupting, and repeatedly "promoted with illness", and took bribes and fed his personal pockets. Now the target of bribery is to change the driver and secretary of the leader, plus lovers.
