Who Cares

Guan Suyi stood quietly under the corridor. Behind him was the study room. From time to time there was laughter from grandfather and father. They were talking to the emperor, their voices full of excitement and joy of being appreciated. After moving to Yanjing for four years, Guan Suyi watched them become more vigorous and quiet day by day, and felt as uncomfortable as a knife.

It is said that a big man must not be powerless for a day. Although this is a bit rough, it is also a well-known saying. Which man does not have the ambition to become famous? Which man does not have the ambitious ambition of being an extremely human minister? The grandfather and father were willing to sell their property and move the family together, are they not just to realize their ambitions?

Now that they have the opportunity to meet with the emperor, they can speak freely and show off their talents, which is not in vain.

Guan Suyi stood in the warm sunshine and laughed for a while before going to the backyard to help the kitchen. Guan Miao was peeling beans, Minglan was watching the fire on the stove, Zhong's cooking with a spatula, a strong smell of meat wafted everywhere, which was mouth-watering.

"Mother, I'll show my hand too." She said while rolling up her sleeves and making her face. At this moment, an old lady ran and said, "Madam, lady, the patriarch sent someone to pick up the second lady home."

Guan Miao turned pale with fright, quickly threw away the beans, and ran behind Zhong to hide. Guan Suyi was about to go to the front yard to send the people away, but saw her mother took out a piece of paper from her arms and said, "Where to go? My second uncle has already written the deed and passed on Miaomiao to us. Five hundred taels of silver, written in black and white, if he repents, we will go to the yamen to sue him! Miao Miao is not on the genealogy at all, and he said that it would not be reasonable to break the sky."

"When was the deed written?" Guan Suyi had never heard of it.

"Your father invited him to drink for a while before he went to prison, and he got him so drunk that he got him signed, stamped, and pressed his fingerprints. He couldn't deny it." Zhong shook his document. .

"If this is the case, this matter will be easier to handle." Guan Suyi smiled, "I know that my father has always been reliable in doing things. Wang Ma, when you go back to them, you say that there are noble guests at home and it is inconvenient to entertain them. If they want to treat If the second lady wants to go back, see you in court."

The old woman nodded her promise and went down in a hurry. The servant sent by the patriarch had already inquired about it in advance, and learned that Guan Suyi was likely to be sent to the palace by the princess to wait for the emperor.

In just half a day, the fact that Mao wanted to starve his concubine to death for a piece of cake has spread throughout Yanjing, and Lin's rhetoric has also been known to everyone. Nowadays, although there are many people with stiff and rotten thinking, the great scholars who are truly academic have expressed extreme dislike for this matter. Some people criticized the Mao family for “killing life with reason and losing to benevolence”, and some people sighed that “the way of heaven may be inexhaustible.” The Mao family and the Lin family, who thought they could gain prestige by virtue of this matter, have become synonymous with cruelty. Time has been criticized.

After the servant took Guan Suyi's words, the patriarch Guan finally dispelled the idea of ​​bringing his granddaughter back, and instead took his son to the front and scolded him severely.

At the same time, Emperor Shengyuan ended his cordial conversation with the Guan family and his son, and left after dinner. Guan Suyi took the initiative to send him off, and when the carriage ran far away, he opened the package he carried and said in a low voice, "My lord, this is the manuscript accumulated by my grandfather and father.

Emperor Sheng Yuan received a thick pile of manuscripts, and just turned over the first two pages to indulge in it, mesmerized. This is a policy theory written by Mr. Guan, which expounds the shortcomings of the Wei State from the aspects of population, land, farming, military, political system, and people's livelihood, and gives practical and effective solutions. It's a pity that the article was completed in the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China in terms of the time it was signed. Four years have passed since then. If these suggestions were adopted and implemented from the beginning, Wei Guo would not be as precarious as it is now.

This policy theory is well versed in the way of checks and balances, and the way he is now adopting checks and balances is completely two extremes. One is built on the basis of winning over the hearts of the people; the other is built on the basis of winning over the nobles and families, and the foundation of the country is the people, so what about the instability of the people?

"Wrong!" He smiled bitterly, "I was wrong from the very beginning." There is nothing wrong with the poor family, but the mistake is to choose Xu Guangzhi as the representative of the poor family. This person is eager for quick success and quick profit, and is the best at drilling camp. He has won a large number of party members in a very short period of time, and then eliminated dissidents and smashed each other. So the poor family fought against aristocratic families, civil officials fought against military generals, and Han people fought against the Jiuli people. The whole court was filled with hostility, and he had to sacrifice Jinyiwei to suppress one or two.

However, curbing violence with violence is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. He also wants to administer benevolence and benefit the people, but wealth and power have been consumed by the nobles. There are Xue Nie and Hu people outside the country who are staring at him, and the people’s living space is repeatedly deprived. Occupation, the situation is no better than before the founding of the nation.

If he had thought about his life back then and re-used Mr. Guan and Mr. Guan, the current state of Wei would definitely be very different.

Feelings of regret were coming, he hurriedly flipped through the next few articles, and then even more admired. The manuscript was obviously carefully sorted out by his wife. From the first year of the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the fourth year, the old man’s explanation of the policy of governing the country has also changed over time, and until the last one, only one title made him breathe slightly-Legislation , Decentralization and Centralization. The so-called decentralization, the ultimate goal is to centralize power.

For the specific details, the old man didn't write it in hand. Just as Emperor Sheng Yuan was disappointed, he turned to Guan Fu's article. If the old man is at the helm, then he is a doer. He has written more than 20 pages of paper on how to legislate, how to decentralize, and how to centralize power. The densely packed small letters are so emotional that people can't bear to let go.

No wonder the nine homicide cases were spread over his head, but he was able to produce such powerful evidence, Mr. Guan really had a big heart.

For the first time, Emperor Shengyuan forgot the existence of his wife, and he read the masterpieces of the two gentlemen with no distraction. Seeing him like this, Guan Suyi couldn't help but cocked his mouth. Then he opened the wooden box beside him and carefully checked the evidence his father had handed over to the emperor. As a subordinate of the law, drafting official documents and entering the plaintiff's or defendant's confession is the most basic task, and the words can save or kill, this father is very clear.

Therefore, in every case he handled, if there was a grievance hidden behind his back, he would deliberately drop a drop of ink on the official document, and then make a copy of it on the grounds that it was dirty, and hand it over to Shangfeng for signature and seal. The copy was hidden as the case file, and when asked, it had been burned. When the incident happened, Shangfeng really pushed him out as a scapegoat, and he could have contacted his wife and daughter and asked them to take out evidence to sue. Considering that Xu Guangzhi's power is so powerful, it might be difficult to tell, but in the end he was ruined and killed, so he chose to forbear.

What is killing with one word? For example, there were seven criminals in the first robbery and murder case. According to the law, the first offender should be beheaded for public display, and the accomplices should be exiled for thousands of miles. The name of the first offender is written on the front, and the names of the accomplices on the back. The official Facao accepted the thousand taels of silver sent by the main criminal, and wrote his name to the end, letting others top it, which killed a person. In another case, a mountain bandit ran into a wealthy household at night to kill and steal money. Because the officials and bandits had a long history of money and money, they had to protect themselves, so the confession was changed from "in from the door" to "in from the dog door", only one more point was added. , The more than 20 bandits who were arrested were released after only half a year, and then resumed their old professions and slaughtered them.

how so? According to the law and order of Wei State, the crime of larceny and robbery cannot be punished in the same way. Climbing a dog hole is obviously stealing, not like breaking someone's door, it's a banditry. Therefore, officials only need to convict theft to release these heinous thugs.

All kinds of bizarre and **** cases should not be detailed. If it were not for the father's plan, he would carefully review every suspicious document and leave the case. Now I am afraid that it would not be clear if I jumped into the Yellow River. No, what if you leave evidence? He was kept in jail and not allowed to visit. When his family found these evidences, he might have become a dead soul under the sword. Who can seek justice if he has nowhere to sue? If the officials who framed him were accidentally informed, the whole family would have to get in.

It is so difficult for the unpowered and flat-headed people to live. It is no wonder that the father always spends money to help the families of those prisoners who have been betrayed to death, but it is for this reason. Guan Suyi put down the official documents and remained silent for a long time.

On the other side, Emperor Sheng Yuan also finished reading several policy theories and sighed, "Madam, sit here."

Guan Suyi was feeling cold all over, and after hearing this, he only hesitated for a moment before moving over, being held tightly in his arms. The two cuddled with each other, warming each other, and sighed after being silent for most of the day, as if they had made an appointment.

Emperor Sheng Yuan's gloomy mood immediately cleared, and asked with a smile, "What are you sighing?"

"Sigh that the world is dazzling and life is hard." As soon as Guan Suyi's voice fell, he bit his tongue hard, and hated his lack of words. Saying that the world is bad in front of the emperor is not tantamount to scolding him for being faint? She glanced at each other secretly, but saw a gentle and helpless smiling face.

"The dazzling world is my fault. I have no way to govern the country, and this has caused the people to die, and the lives will be destroyed." Shengyuan emperor whispered in her ear, "Look, madam, in my lifetime, I must give you a peaceful and prosperous age."

"It's not me, it's the people of the world." Guan Suyi corrected, and finally cursed that she couldn't stop her mouth.

Emperor Sheng Yuan was amused by the painful expression she always wanted to restrain, but couldn't help telling the truth. While holding her red lips, he smiled and agreed, "Madam is right, it is still the people of the world." Only four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he still has time to change everything now.

At first, Guan Suyi just sat stiffly on his lap to bear it, but at the end she couldn't hold it anymore. Only then did Guan Suyi collapse in his arms like melting snow. His kiss was tender and domineering, and after a taste, it was a deep plea. She felt that every pore of her was stained with his scent, and she was about to suffocate from being kissed. She opened her mouth to pant, but she ushered in an even more fierce attack.

She had never encountered such a straightforward plunder, her mind was so confused that she could not think of anything, she could only cling to him tightly, like a life-saving rope.
