Great Tang Broom Star - v2 Chapter 1163

  Chapter 1163 Elegant bribery is also bribery

  Yang Deli’s job is to keep an eye on the officials and impeach them if he finds something wrong.

   This job is supposed to be cool, but it’s not easy. First, you need to investigate carefully, otherwise you will fire too many shots, and even the censor will be unlucky; second, you have to impeach them at the risk of offending the big bosses.

  Others took the position of censor as a springboard and ran away after a few years, but Yang Deli was different.

“I like being a censor, watching the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and not allowing them to reach out randomly. I feel that I have always been in Huazhou, and I have always been in the village. I just stare at my granary. Whoever stretches out his hand will kill him. It’s a good feeling. .”

  Early in the morning, Yang Deli was feeling emotional after eating.

  Zhaodi took Pandi to clean up the dishes, Yang Dalang and his mother made faces and ran away quietly.

   “I’m not a nag.”

  Yang Deli felt that he was ignored by his children, and he was a little embarrassed. “I just want to say, it’s not that I don’t want to be promoted. A while ago, the Shangguan asked me if I would like to go to the official department, but I refused to go.”

  Aunt Wang smiled and said, “The censor is fine.”

  Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, marry a censor and shout all over the street.

  Aunt Wang has long been used to it, “It’s good to be able to impeach people, and others don’t dare to take pride in our family.”

   For her, stability is good. As for promotion…

  Yang Deli asked cautiously: “My lady, I don’t want to be promoted…Aren’t you angry?”

“not angry.”

  Aunt Wang’s attitude was very firm, which made Yang Deli stunned.

why?

  He went out, and Aunt Wang sent him to the door, “Husband, slow down.”

   “Get me a bowl of soup for dinner.”

  Yang Deli did not forget to tell his wife, “That’s what I do.”

“knew.”

  Aunt Wang turned around and entered the house.

   “It’s your job to be a censor and offend people. If you get promoted and leave the censor platform, offending people will bring disaster… You should not be promoted.”

  …

   Arriving at the value room, Yang Deli checked yesterday’s work as usual.

   It is a habit to review the old and learn the new.

  Look up yesterday’s work, throw it away if it is correct, and correct it if it is wrong.

   Immediately, he picked up a few pieces of paper, which recorded all the information he had collected recently.

  —Shangguanyi uttered complaints after drinking, talking about her own achievements, which meant resentment.

   This is not right!

  Yang Deli felt that something was wrong.

  Shangguanyi is the emperor’s confidant. The outside world said that he was the emperor’s loyal dog. After the fall of Li Yifu, he became so popular!

  Why do you still complain?

  Yang Deli was puzzled.

  In the past, he would definitely impeach him on his own, but having been a censor for many years, he keenly sensed a disturbing atmosphere, so he went to find Huang Ju, the censor Zhongcheng.

  Aunt said that when someone cheats you, you should quickly throw the matter to the person above.

  Huang Ju couldn’t help frowning when he saw the news, and couldn’t drink while holding his teacup.

  He took a sip of the tea reluctantly, and all the previous tea aroma turned bitter.

   “That’s not right.”

   If it’s not right, it’s right.

  Yang Deli breathed a sigh of relief, “I also feel that something is wrong.”

  Huang Ju looked up at him, and said for a long time: “This matter… you go and investigate.”

  ? ? ?

   Something is wrong!

  In the past, Huang Ju would be worried that Yang Deli’s impeachment would cause big trouble, and he, the Yushi Zhongcheng, would also suffer. But today he is even encouraging Yang Deli to make a move…

   This is not right.

  But Yang Deli felt that it was good for the Shangguan to know about it.

leftover…

  …

   The emperor and his ministers were discussing matters, and the emperor came today.

   “Is Your Majesty’s eyes healed?”

  Shangguanyi was quite happy and took a step forward.

  He felt that his smile was impeccable, but in the eyes of the emperor, it was just a shadow.

   “I congratulate Your Majesty!”

  The emperor recognized the identity of the black shadow through his voice, nodded and said, “It’s just better.”

   “Your Majesty, Censor Yang Deli is asking to see you.”

  The prime ministers all shook their bodies.

  It’s time for battle!

  Bomb who?

  Censor needs a shot before he dares to make a move, and the target must be a big boss.

  Yang Deli’s urination has been known to everyone over the years. What can make him fight is either a big event or a big boss above the minister…even the emperor.

  Who is not afraid of a ruthless person who can impeach the emperor?

  The prime ministers seemed to be in danger, the emperor said calmly, “Let him come.”

  Your Majesty is not afraid?

  Everyone thought the same thing, the emperor heard that he had cultivated his morals recently, and he couldn’t find any faults. Naturally, he was not afraid of Yang Deli.

  But when they thought that the emperor was afraid of the censor, everyone couldn’t help but smile.

   Yang Deli is here.

  The prime ministers looked at him casually, wondering who this person would fight today.

  The emperor remained silent.

   “Your Majesty.” After saluting, Yang Deli opened fire.

   “I heard that Shangguan Xianggong drank in the brothel the day before yesterday. After drinking, he said that he had worked hard for most of his life and served His Majesty for many years, but he could not be reused.”

  Shangguanyi: “…”

   Without waiting for him to fight back, Yang Deli cupped his hands: “Dare to ask Shangguan Xianggong, are these words true?”

  Shangguanyi thought about it…

  The day before yesterday, Xiu Mu went to the brothel with a few friends, and wrote a poem during the dinner, which attracted everyone’s praise.

   At that time, he seemed a little drifting?

  Someone said something…Brother You Shao is so talented, the leaders and ministers are just waiting!

  Leadership means to become a big boss who is under one person and above ten thousand people, such as the eldest grandson Wuji back then.

  The old man probably drank too much at the time… He even said that he had worked hard for many years, but he was never reused.

   “Your Majesty, I’m talking nonsense.”

   But that’s just whining.

  Which courtier has not made such complaints?

  Even if the old fox Li Ji can’t have a few glasses of wine at home, he has to say that the emperor is so suspicious, which makes the old man feel aggrieved and aggrieved!

  Everyone will complain, the difference is that the old man’s complaints are passed on by some lowly dog ​​slave.

  Shangguanyi was thinking about who leaked it, from friends to accompanying prostitutes.

   But still can’t guess.

   No motivation!

  Who dares to spread his complaints at the risk of offending the prime minister?

Yang Deli’s mission was completed, but he added at the end, “I also often complain. My complaint is why I don’t assign more manpower to the Yushi so that I can find out information from all parties… My complaint is for business. Shangguan Xianggong’s To complain is to feel that one’s talents are not of use, this is a desire that cannot be filled!”

  So reflect on it.

   This is Yang Deli’s original intention.

  But those words hit Shangguanyi in the face.

   Too much!

   Even Li Ji, who had been dozing off for thousands of years, opened his eyes.

   “Your Majesty, Yang Deli has humiliated the minister too much!”

  The old man is just complaining, is it worth your soul-deep critique?

  What kind of desire is hard to fill, if this word gets out, what will I do?

  The majesty of the prime minister is unshakable!

  So before Li Yifu completely disappointed the emperor, the emperor silently suppressed his faults.

  The emperor glanced at Shangguanyi, “Deal.”

  …

  Yang Deli returned with a big victory.

   Immediately, Shangguanyi’s reputation of being too greedy spread.

   “The old man has worked so hard, but the junior said that his desires are hard to fill… Who doesn’t complain, but insists on holding on to the old man, what does this mean?”

  Shangguanyi was annoyed.

  Back home, he didn’t eat dinner, and was sulking alone in the study.

   “Aunt.”

  In the delicate voice, the three-year-old granddaughter Shangguan Wan’er came in.

  Shangguanyi’s study room is not allowed to come and go at will, and he does the general cleaning by himself, without pretending to be outsiders. But only the granddaughter is an exception.

  Shangguanyi laughed, “Is Wan’er coming to see A Weng?”

  Shangguan Wan’er stepped forward with her short legs, raised her head and said, “Ah Weng, are you unhappy?”

  Shangguanyi nodded, “Someone said bad things about A Weng.”

  Shangguan Wan’er said: “Just say it! If you don’t say it, he will feel bored…”

Huh!

  Yeah!

  He said that the old man didn’t say anything, and others would definitely think that the old man was wrong at first. But after a long time, this matter subsided, and then all parties will naturally have a fair evaluation.

   “How Wan’er, hahahaha!”

  …

  Dai Zhide has been waiting for an opportunity.

  His father, Dai Zhou, was the prime minister during the first emperor’s time, and he was even before Wei Zheng.

  A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a rat begets a hole.

  As the prime minister’s son, his goal is naturally the prime minister.

  A few years ago, he had the opportunity to participate in political affairs, but was somehow pulled down.

  At present, he is the Minister of Zhongshu. If he wants to participate in the government, his position is enough.

  But at present, the position of prime minister in the DPRK and China is stable, but he can only watch.

   “Shangguanyi was impeached, disgraced. He asked His Majesty to make the decision, but His Majesty ignored it. This was an uneasy response for him…”

   After Zhang Wenguan reminded him, he smiled and left.

  Zhang Wenguan is also on this threshold. The two can be said to be in the same boat, or they can be said to be rivals.

  Dai Zhide stood up, “I’m going to see the prince.”

  …

  The prince is reading a book.

  As he grows older, the direction of his learning has also changed, from being indoctrinated to discussing together, which also reflects the improvement of his authority.

   “Meet Your Highness.”

   “Master Dai has worked hard.”

  Li Hong put down the book in his hand and nodded.

   “Where has Your Highness been recently?”

  As Zuo Shuzi, Dai Zhide has the right to ask about the prince’s study.

  Li Hong said: “A travelogue.”

   “Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles can be done in parallel. However, Your Highness is the country’s foundation, so naturally you can’t travel wantonly, and you can read travel notes.”

  Dai Zhide smiled and said: “Spring is approaching, if Your Highness is free, I would like to accompany His Highness on a tour of the city.”

   “Let’s have a look again.”

  Li Hong casually brushed it off.

  Dai Zhide resigned immediately.

  Zeng Xianglin sent him out, and when he came back, he muttered: “Mr. Dai is too kind today, even laughing at the slaves.”

  Li Hong picked up the travel notes, and said: “Shangguanyi was impeached, and it will affect the whole body…”

He frowned slightly, “In the past, I thought that Dai Zhide was a rare gentleman, but today I see that he is still a dog. What my uncle said is indeed true. There is no such thing as a gentleman in this world…but mortals still have desires. There can be no gentleman.”

   Zeng Xianglin praised: “Your Highness’s words are very true. Dai Shilang just wants to be promoted. If he has this desire, he will not be a gentleman.”

  Li Hong put down the book, “Go to Da Ci’en Temple.”

  The prince was in a gloomy mood. After consulting the emperor, he went to Daci’en Temple casually.

  This is the temple that Li Zhi built under the supervision of Empress Wende. With the arrival of Xuanzang, it has become a famous temple in Chang’an City.

   “Meet the mage.”

  Li Hong saluted very respectfully.

   When he raised his head, he couldn’t help but be amazed, “Mage is younger!”

“Yeah?”

  Xuanzang didn’t think he was happy, “It’s just a skin, whether old or young, it’s just a fleeting cloud, so there is no need to be sad or happy about it.”

   “The mage’s words are very true.”

   Li Hong asked: “There is only one thing I don’t know, and I want to ask the master for advice.”

  The two walked along the path in the forest, Xuanzang remained silent.

  Li Hong said: “My uncle once said that if there is desire, there will be no gentleman. If there is such desire, people cannot trust each other. How can we break it?”

   Xuanzang did not speak.

  Zeng Xianglin did not dare to remind, but just followed silently.

Xuanzang pointed to the ground, “At the beginning, the poor monk didn’t like laying stone slabs. Some people said that the poor monk was sympathetic to the people. But many years ago, the poor monk went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures. The road was so difficult that the poor monk’s feet felt uncomfortable when walking on the stone road. Your Highness Tell me, is this poor monk’s desire?”

  Li Hong couldn’t help being crazy.

   “Even if His Highness comes here, he still carries… this is a travelogue. He still carries a travelogue. When he opened this book, what did His Highness gain from it?”

   “Happy.” Li Hong realized something.

Xuanzang nodded, “This is desire. After reading it, I still feel unsatisfied and want to read another book. This is also desire. It is desire to feel happy when I look at the dishes I like when eating; it is desire when I see the dishes I don’t like.” Dissatisfaction, this is also desire… Lying on the bed at night to sleep peacefully, happy in the heart, this is desire; tossing and turning difficult to fall asleep, so worrying and restless, this is also desire…”

   Xuanzang looked at him, “Desire is everywhere, it is in His Highness’s eyes, it is in His Highness’s five senses, it cannot be eliminated…”

   “Then how to resist?”

  Li Hong stuffed the travel notes into his sleeve subconsciously.

  Xuanzang smiled: “Why resist? Just let it go.”

   “There is no hindrance in the heart, no hindrance, no fear, and stay away from upside-down dreams.”

   Xuanzang recited the Heart Sutra softly, and walked out slowly.

  The trail in the forest is not long, but the forest inside is dense, blocking the light, so that it is a bit dim.

  The stone slabs on the ground are densely covered with blue marks, occasionally small green clumps stand upright, and there are traces of being trampled on the body.

   Is this life?

  Li Hong looked up.

  The tree trunk does not move at all.

  He looked up and saw the branches moving slightly.

  A bird stands on a branch, swaying with the branch.

  Birds chirping, crisp and ethereal.

  The prince murmured: “So everything is for desire?”

  …

  Yang Deli offended Shangguanyi.

   This news swept Yushitai.

  Censor Zhongcheng Huang Ju called him.

   “Go home and rest for a few days.”

   This is for him to avoid the limelight, so as not to poke Shangguanyi’s lung tube.

  Yang Deli held his head up and said, “Your official has no fear.”

   Sure enough, he was a stunned young man.

  Lengtouqing is Shangguan’s favorite type of person. This kind of people act impulsively and go straight. If they are used, they are the best cannon fodder and scapegoats.

   But thinking of Yang Deli’s cousin, Huang Ju quickly dismissed the idea of ​​being a cannon fodder for Yang Deli.

   “Zhao Guogong has been traveling for a long time, when will he return?”

  Yang Deli shook his head, “The lower officials don’t know either.”

  Jia Pingan would return letters from time to time, talking about the scenery along the way, but never mentioning the government.

   Huang Ju looked at him and warned, “Recently, you should be cautious in your words and deeds.”

“yes!”

  Yang Deli can still distinguish between good and evil.

  Backing to his duty room, he sorted out the information he had collected and set off again.

   There are many channels for collecting news, but the most common one is in the cafeteria.

  The yamen at all levels in the Tang Dynasty went to work early, so the so-called four drums and drums were dressed up, and it was too late to meet at the Meridian Gate. When can we enjoy the pastoral pleasure and sleep until the food is ready in the world?

  The emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and this principle also applies to officials. Therefore, from the prime minister to the officials at all levels, they all have breakfast when they get up earlier than chickens and arrive at the Yamen every day.

   This is a kind of appeasement, and it is also a kind of invisible welfare.

  Every day, the officials eat in the canteen of the unit. If you want to talk about eating, I’m sorry, we are a tired group. Why can’t we relax when we have nothing to do?

   Their way of relaxing is gossip.

  All kinds of gossip will spread in the cafeteria.

   And Yang Deli likes to come here to collect news.

   At noon, Yang Deli went outside Zhongshu Province. There was one of his informants here, who often delivered valuable news.

   Not long after, a small official came out, and the two went to a secluded place.

  The little official said in a low voice: “Shangguan Xianggong is very angry…”

   “I don’t care.”

  Yang Deli’s spirit of not being afraid of death made the little official secretly praise him, “By the way, Shangguan Xianggong has some contacts with Zheng Yu, a doctor in the official department. This time, there is a lack of servant in the official department, and Zheng Yu gave Shangguan Xianggong a calligraphy and painting.”

  Yang Deli’s eyes lit up, “Whose?”

  The little official said: “Yan Liben’s.”

   This is bribery!

  The little official said: “This is an elegant bribe.”

   “Elegant bribery is also bribery!”

  Yang Deli touched a string of copper coins to the little official, “Ask for more information next time.”

  …

  Shangguanyi never put Yang Deli in his eyes. In his view, Yu Shi’s impeachment of the prime minister to complain is just looking for trouble for nothing, which is a bit out of tune.

  The emperor’s attitude that day was ambiguous, but there was no follow-up, so Shangguanyi was very calm.

  Getting up in the morning, Shangguanyi first asked the old servant, “How’s the weather?”

  The old servant said: “It looks like it’s rainy. Although it’s late spring, Alang should wear more clothes.”

“knew.”

  Shangguanyi changed into a thicker dress.

  During breakfast, Shangguanyi suddenly said dissatisfied: “Where’s Wan’er?”

  Shangguan Tingzhi stood up and said, “Aye, it’s raining today, but Wan’er is sleepy, why don’t I wake her up.”

“No need.” Shangguanyi frowned, “Wan’er is still young. Adults don’t want to sleep because they feel that the days are numbered and they are anxious. The child is just about to start his life, and he is carefree, so he can sleep peacefully… that’s all he needs. Just be carefree.”

  Shangguan Tingzhi complied, but was slandered endlessly.

  When she couldn’t see her granddaughter every day, Shangguanyi would complain and mutter a few words of dissatisfaction. After seeing it, he would blame Shangguan Tingzhi and his daughter-in-law for not taking care of their granddaughter.

   In a word, it’s all your fault.

  When Shangguanyi had finished her breakfast and was about to go to court, Shangguan Waner finally came out.

   “Aunt.”

  Shangguanyi immediately beamed with joy, and leaned over to touch the top of her granddaughter’s head, “Ah Weng is going to court, and Wan’er is so happy to play at home.”

  Shangguan Wan’er sent him out the door and waved, “Ah Weng will be back earlier.”

  Shangguanyi turned her head on horseback, “Okay.”

  When it was time to check in, Shangguanyi was still smiling.

   “My husband is in a good mood!”

  The little official comes in to make tea.

“yes!”

  Thinking of her granddaughter, Shangguanyi couldn’t restrain her tenderness.

   Watch her grow up, dress up her dreams, hey! I am very happy to think about it.

   “Sir, it’s time to go to court.”

  The discussion begins…

   “Your Majesty, Censor Yang Deli is asking to see you.”

  Shangguanyi: “…”

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass!
