Chapter 534 Han Lin's Story
After hearing Zhao Zheng's answer, all the civil and military officials in the court, including the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, felt something was wrong for some reason.
But then, they all withdrew their uneasiness.
They had seen all the performance of Zhao Zheng, the head of the family as the Minister of the Household, over such a long period of time.
Although the two factions in the Zhao Mansion are not incompatible, they are certainly divided by their ideologies.
So as a conservative, Zhao Zheng is also the head of the family.
How could they be connected with the previous heads of the Zhao Mansion?
Maybe it's just a simple little story with some fun and truth in it.
After all, the prosperity of the Sun-Moon Dynasty has continued to this day, although various problems are still inevitable.
But the big problems are still the same, and there are ways to deal with them, and they all take time.
Even if the previous Zhao Zheng came back to life, it would not be easy to find other problems.
Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved.
"Please tell me in detail, my dear."
"I also want to hear what questions the students have in their minds. After all, I am indeed not as good as you and the Queen in the students' minds."
So Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in acting as the supporting actor.
Haha!
All the civil and military officials in the court naturally followed suit and laughed.
Zhao Zheng was of course happy that he could listen to himself quietly, so he laughed a few times before continuing.
How to buy time for Li Jin? A simple way is to attract the world's attention to yourself.
But how to attract the world's attention to yourself?
In fact, given Zhao Zheng's identity, it is very easy to deal with.
However, Zhao Zheng chose the easiest one.
That is revolution.
It's just a revolution for oneself.
Revolutionize yourself with great vigor!
A prosperous age is a beautiful dress, and good times are a box of fine rouge.
Zhaofu is the best brand among them.
But the urgency coming from the southwest also made Zhao Zheng realize that something was wrong.
The people of Yangzhou are proud of wearing Shu brocade but they do not know Shu, and they often forget to practice it themselves.
......
"Gao Yan, I... I still have a set of building blocks in my arms, which are the answers to the last lesson that the Zhao family can give you. Try to stack them again, don't be in a hurry, poof!"
"Master Chongsi, you are vomiting blood, please stop talking!"
"Before Master Siyi, Sier, and Sisan left, Master and Master asked me to take good care of you. Gao Yan hasn't taken you to the new world yet."
"Gao is stupid, I haven't learned it yet, please teach me again, wuwuwu~"
Go east to the last thief island.
Gao Yan, the second son of Prince of Yan, ignored the consolation of Prince of Yan and his followers who had complicated expressions behind him.
She just watched Chongsi's breath gradually weaken, crying stubbornly, while hurriedly stacking the wooden blocks stained with Chongsi's blood vertically and building them higher.
"Your Highness Gao Yao, you can't build it like this..."
Finally, Daoyan in black decided to be the bad guy, but he only said half of it.
A gust of wind from Hokkaido swept everything that was left into the sky.
The unrelated mahogany tower still stands.
......
"After the north and south were divided into the list, there was a Jinshi named Han Lin. He was intelligent and kind, but his ambitions were not high."
"From the beginning to the end, I just wanted to find a job that would allow me to live a good life..."
After hearing this beginning, most of the uneasiness in the hearts of everyone in the court disappeared.
Because if Zhao Zheng is guilty, the impact of this crime will definitely be significant.
But since Zhao Zheng said he was pure and kind, he must be a very good person.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang even almost wanted to interrupt and have the official Han Lin brought to the court and reward him generously.
My ambitions are not high, it's just a small matter, just join the cabinet.
Then Zhao Zheng continued.
"So after Han Lin took office, he failed the assessment in his first year and was demoted to a local position."
“After I got there, I started to work relatively diligently.”
"But who would have thought that just after the second year, he would be demoted again because of his superior's involvement in the incident."
"Han Lin, from this place, went to the county."
"But he seemed to be born unlucky. When he arrived at the county, he was implicated again and was directly demoted to Shuchuan. And that was not the end."
"So just like that, a Jinshi, after ten years, actually became the chief clerk of a ruined government office in Shuchuan..."
The story is not long, nor is it complicated, and it is easy to understand.
After all, it was Han Lin's official career that was tortuous, and had nothing to do with the people present.
However, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang obviously heard it and his expression changed a lot, which was different.
"Lord Zhao, is Han Lin still in Shuchuan?"
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked by Han Lin's unlucky nature in Zhao Zheng's story.
He originally thought that Han Lin was another Liu Ji, but after ten years of bad luck, he actually went from being a Jinshi to a chief clerk.
Of course, from another perspective, Han Lin is also lucky.
After being implicated so many times, he was just demoted.
You have to know that other Jinshi of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, under normal circumstances, could either be promoted to higher positions or thrown into jail.
But soon, he couldn't be happy anymore.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Zhao Zheng nodded with a smile on his face.
"Then we have to meet him. I believe the other nobles are also curious."
As the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was speaking, he couldn't help laughing again.
All the civil and military officials in the court continued to follow.
And then, Zhao Zheng shook his head.
"Your Majesty, Han Lin really doesn't have this blessing."
"Hmm? Why is that?"
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang thought of a possibility, and his mouth twitched when he thought of it.
That Han Lin can’t be that unlucky.
The fact turned out to be just as he thought, except that it was beyond his expectation.
In other words, it started to get out of control.
"Your Majesty, Han Lin was investigated a month ago for embezzling over one million taels of silver and has committed suicide by taking poison."
"what!"
When Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang heard the price of one million taels, his brows immediately furrowed with anger.
As for the thought just now.
I don't know where it flew to.
At this moment, he just wanted to dig out Han Lin's body and grind his bones to ashes.
"Yeah!"
"It took ten years to discover such a huge corruption! You really gave us a peaceful and prosperous era!"
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the officials from the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Personnel who were in charge of related affairs all knelt down quickly.
"My dear, how did you discover Han Lin's crime?!"
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of showing any mercy to the officials from the three ministries who knelt down, and continued to make them kneel.
After all, such news about corruption was brought by students. How could he not be angry?
Zhao Zheng knew that his goal had been achieved and continued to apply eye drops.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Han Lin is greedy but not arrogant. Whenever he collects money, no matter how big or small, he will do it himself."
"When he lived in the capital, he had the intention to leave. He made friends with his colleagues while in office. The real reason for his exile was that he personally exchanged his test scores with Hu Yong's cronies!"
"So that when we get there, we can use Hu Yong's kindness and power to make a big deal!"
"But I didn't expect that after Hu Yong's incident, this man would use his power and kindness as the head of the prefecture to go back and forth to the towns and villages, and the same thing happened after he arrived in Shuchuan."
"As a result, Han Lin has been an official for ten years, and despite all the major and minor incidents, the rules and regulations of the local government have not changed, and his enjoyment has not diminished!"
