Chapter 415: People fear officials? Officials serve the people?
It was late at night, but the candlelight in the backyard of the Lu family's medicine shop was still swaying, and three figures were shaking on the wall with the candlelight. Zheng Shanxing held a brush in his hand and was writing something at the desk. On both sides of him, he was standing in the Lu Shi Gua, Wang Xuandao, he wrote and stopped, communicating with Lu and Wang.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.
The three of them looked happy. Lu Shigua smiled and said, "It must be Brother Han who is back, I'll go and open the door."
After saying that, he hurried out.
After a while, he saw him and Han Yi walk in. Lu Shiguai laughed and said, "Our efforts tonight are not in vain."
Zheng Shanxing and Wang Xuandao all looked at Han Yi with joy.
Han Yi smiled and said, "Han Yi has finally taken a small step to fulfill his mission, but whether he succeeds or not depends on this memorial."
Zheng Shanxing asked, "Uncle and the other uncle have not made things difficult for you, right?"
Han Yi shook his head and said, "It's much easier than I thought."
Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "This move is so clever, how could they refuse?"
Regarding the Civil Security Bureau’s plan, this is not a trivial matter. Why did it progress so quickly is actually because it meets the needs of all parties.
Needless to say, Li Zhi, firstly, a pool of stagnant water in the court has made him very unhappy. The emergence of the People's Security Bureau has just activated this pool of stagnant water. No matter what, he finally has something to do, and secondly, he also hopes to have his own political characteristics, benefit the people and let the people not always be nostalgic. It is much better now than the Zhenguan period.
As for Changsun Wuji's school, Han Yi proposed a policy of protecting the people according to law, in order to satisfy Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji has been tampering with Tang Lu. He has made great contributions to Tang Lu and plays with this legal system. That is what he is good at and it coincides with his political philosophy. Moreover, the Civil Security Bureau is related to the law, so it must be related to the Ministry of Justice. It can even be said that it must be under the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice is under the jurisdiction of the Three Provinces. It is equivalent to being the immediate boss of the Civil Security Bureau.
The Civil Security Bureau has gained some power from the Military Department, which means that the Civil Security Bureau will appear, which will further strengthen its power.
But on the other hand, although the Civil Security Bureau belongs to the Ministry of Justice, this is a new department and it is impossible to be controlled by the Ministry of Justice at once. Li ∑nstyle_txt; Zhi will definitely not let go easily. It depends on the game between the two sides. However, for Changsun Wuji, he believes that Li Zhi is his opponent in the struggle for power in the officialdom.
For civil servants, it is also good news. Because civil and military disputes are the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and public security is closely related to their lives. If the responsibility for maintaining the order of Chang'an is left to the military to manage, they are also worried, but if they are handed over to the Ministry of Justice to take charge, it would be much easier. After all, they are all civil servants, and everything is easy to discuss and will not be as depressed as they are now.
It seems that the military is the only party that loses, but it is not the case. The current Sixteen Guards are all second-generation officials and third-generation officials. These people don’t want to go out to fight, and their wealth makes them very greedy for life and death. However, if they want to inherit the ancestors, they must embark on this path. The civil and military affairs of the Civil Security Bureau are involved. This has opened up another safer path for them, and the military will definitely agree.
And Han Yi's words naturally needless to say. The Civil Security Bureau must be inseparable from him, and he can control real power.
If you are satisfied in all aspects, then success will naturally come naturally.
"The prince has been awarded too much."
Han Yi bowed and said modestly, "I just have troubled the three young men. Han Yi is really sorry."
Lu Shigua said very straightforwardly: "We are very willing to help with this kind of trouble. Your memorial has benefited a lot from us. It can even be foreseeable that once the Civil Security Bureau is successful, it will be a great good thing for the people, and it can also help the Tang Dynasty to a higher level. We will naturally have the responsibility to benefit the country and the people."
Zheng Shanxing laughed and said, "Yes. Since ancient times, only the people have feared officials, but there is no official for the people. Emperor Taizong also said that water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. Since this is the case, loving the people should be the responsibility of the emperor. Unfortunately, few emperors can truly do this. The emergence of the People's Security Bureau may be able to achieve this. The people pay taxes to the court, and the court uses this tax to pay salaries to officials. Then officials should do things for the people, which is natural."
He is kind-hearted and advocates the idea of "healthy will help the world, and poor will keep it alone". In the past, he often went to help the people when he was not an official. Now that he has entered the officialdom, he feels even more about doing things for the people, so the People's Security Bureau is the most enjoyable for him.
As he said that, he picked up the memorial again and handed it to Han Yi, saying, "This is what we just wrote. Look, is it appropriate to write it like this?"
Han Yi picked up a look and suddenly exclaimed, "This is not like your handwriting like Mr. Zheng!"
Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "Brother Han can see the clues at a glance, which shows that he has a lot of research on calligraphy. Are you deliberately hiding your calligraphy?"
The reason why Han Yi asked them to write the melody on their behalf was that his handwriting was very unbearable, but as a liar, he could not have been involved in calligraphy. Anyway, he could not do it in real life. He could do it in fake ways, but he had a natural sensitivity to handwriting.
You are smart. Han Yi said angrily: "What's the point of hiding this calligraphy? I just like to appreciate calligraphy, but I may not be able to write. Just like those who like to watch dramas, they may not be able to perform dramas."
Lu Shigua smiled and said, "The calligraphy of good deeds is very impressive. He is not only good at imitating, but also can write writing in more than ten kinds of handwriting."
Han Yi was surprised and said, "Take it serious?"
Zheng Shanxing smiled bitterly and said, "This is just a plaything that is lost, and it is not worth mentioning. The reason why I changed my handwriting was that I was afraid that my Majesty would see it. Can I avoid this trouble?"
All seven of them were geniuses. Han Yi sighed inwardly and said with a smile: "This is amazing, go and be a cheat---No, I mean, it's a genius if you can't."
In later generations, some masters of Thousand Sects were also known for imitating handwriting. In that Internet era, these talents almost became rare animals. If one team had such talents, it would really be like a tiger and would save a lot of trouble.
The four of them started to talk about the memorial again. Because many of the four of them had a coincidence, they were very speculative when talking. While talking, they wrote. Han Yi just made a framework for the details. Everyone discussed it together. Han Yi himself advocated team spirit, and heroism was just a young and frivolous person. Moreover, Zheng Shanxing and others understood the current social system and background better. Their opinions were also crucial to this memorial.
As we were talking, it was dawn. Liu Qin and Lu Zhilian had already gotten up. Seeing that Lu Shi Gua and the others were still talking. They were so worried about eating and sleeping, so they quickly made breakfast and brought them over. The few of them ate and talked again. It was not until noon that the memorial was written.
Han Yi went back to take a shower, changed into clean official uniforms, and then ran to the palace with the memorial. This must be done while the iron is hot, and Han Yi still understands the truth that the change will change later.
It became much easier because Han Yi had a token to enter the palace. However, Zhang Desheng did not take Han Yi to Liangyi Palace this time, but took him to a garden. From a distance, he could hear the sound of flowing water, pavilions, water pavilions, birds and flowers. In this early winter, he still showed vitality and beauty. On the surface of the artificial lake, there was a pavilion, with a man and a woman sitting inside, which was Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.
"I am here to see Your Majesty, Zhaoyi."
Han Yi entered the pavilion and gave a gift.
"No gift."
Li Zhi asked with a smile: "What do you have to report?"
No, you forgot what you said yesterday today? Han Yi said embarrassedly: "Report to Your Majesty, I have already written the memorial about the Civil Security Bureau. Please read it."
Li Zhi was shocked and said, "What should I write it?"
Han Yi said: "How dare I be negligent when doing things for Your Majesty?"
Establishing a new government office is not an easy task, and how can it be settled so quickly. Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "You have to think carefully about this matter. Although I asked you to submit it as soon as possible, I did not ask you to submit it today."
Han Yi said respectfully: "I should do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best and dare not neglect it."
Wu Meiniang was delicate. Seeing Han Yi's face was tired, she knew that he must have written it overnight, and that she was very confident in Han Yi. Since Han Yi dared to present it, she must be sure, so she said, "Your Majesty, look at Han Yi's tired face, and I must have written this memorial day and night. Since the memorial has been sent, why not read it first? If there is something inappropriate, Your Majesty will let Han Yi change it."
Only then did Li Zhi notice Han Yi's fatigue and was moved. This was the emperor's favorite minister. He smiled and said, "It's really hard for you." He nodded and asked Zhang Desheng to hand over the memorial immediately.
Zhang Desheng immediately delivered the memorial to Li Zhi. Li Zhi opened it with the memorial and said, "This is not what you wrote."
It seems that my handwriting is so embarrassing that everyone knows. Han Yi nodded embarrassedly.
Li Zhi glanced at him again and said, "This is written by Zheng Shanxing."
Han Yi suddenly had the urge to squirt blood. He had agreed to imitate masters, but why was it obvious that people could see it all at once?
"Han Yi, even if you want to find someone to write for you, you have to be more cautious. Find someone you are not familiar with. You have to give this memorial to those ministers later. Although it is not a big deal, you will inevitably nag you a few words." Wu Meiniang saw Han Yi's embarrassing expression, covered her lips and giggled. As she looked around, she was full of charm, her breasts were trembling, which was even more fascinating.
This is Wu Meiniang, who looks so beautiful from afar, and looks at it close to others.
Fortunately, Han Yi was also a man who had seen the world, so he quickly calmed down.
However, as soon as these words were said, Han Yi's embarrassment was resolved.
"Mei Niang, this is not Zheng Shanxing's notes." Li Zhi said.
Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes opened slightly and she said in surprise: "How did Your Majesty know that it was written by Zheng Shanxing?"
Li Zhi said with a little show of sarcasm, "You don't know that although Zheng Shanxing's calligraphy is good, it is still a lot worse than those of the people like the Youpushe. The reason why his calligraphy is talked about is that he can write more than ten kinds of handwriting and is good at imitating it, but after all, he wrote it alone. Then there must be similarities. His fonts are very neat and are especially good in small characters. And he has a very obvious feature, that is, his characters are very similar and almost equal in size, which may be related to his personality. Therefore, no matter how his handwriting changes, the size of the characters has not changed at all, so I guess that it was written by Zheng Shanxing."
So that's it. It seems that I have to remind Zheng Shanxing that sometimes he can do cursive scripts and not write them so neatly. Han Yi said: "Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, and I admire you very much."
"What does this have to do with the wise and divine martial arts?"
Li Zhi smiled and then started to look.
Wu Meiniang also glanced at her from the outside. Logically speaking, this memorial should not be shown to her, but because Li Zhi's current situation is special, even if Wu Meiniang doesn't take the initiative to see it, he will definitely show it to Wu Meiniang later. However, because Han Yi is here, Wu Meiniang is not easy to do it too obvious, so he just uses the omen to see it.
At the beginning of the memorial, it must have explained the reasons for establishing the People's Security Bureau. Han Yi has also said a lot, and Li Zhi also took a rough look. It doesn't matter whether he reads this reason or not, as long as it suits his interests. When he saw the last paragraph, he suddenly said, "Ministry Security Police, protect and serve the people?" As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Han Yi, what does this sentence mean?"
You don’t understand this sentence? Han Yi said: “Report to Your Majesty, I believe that the People’s Security Bureau is related to the lives of the people of the world. As a member of the People’s Security Bureau, you should have noble personality and thoughts. Therefore, I want to use this sentence as the purpose of the People’s Security Bureau. If you cannot do this, you will not be qualified to become a royal policeman.”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "But is the word 'service' inappropriate?"
Service is something that servants do, how can officials use the term service?
Han Yi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The sage said that the people are the most important, and the country is the second, and the king is the least. The king is the lesser than the people. Besides, the officials are even lesser. Your Majesty appointed them as officials, and he definitely hoped that they could govern the country and give the people a happy life. The royal police can be said to be His Majesty's servants, and the people are His Majesty's people. This is natural. If you do not serve the people, how can you let the people deeply feel the rain and dew that Your Majesty gave them? This is the spirit and responsibility of the People's Security Bureau. The People's Security Bureau is not used to manage the people, but to help the people. If the two are not distinguished, the poor ministers are afraid that the People's Security Bureau will lose its meaning of existence."
"Well said! Your words are really worth pursuing the saint."
Before Li Zhi spoke, Wu Meiniang praised her first and said, "During ancient times, many disasters have been caused by the faults of officials. After all, the monarch is just a person, and how can he take care of everything and must rely on officials. However, some officials use the power given to them by the monarch, and act recklessly, oppress the people, and commit favoritism and fraud, which has led to the phenomenon of officials forcing the people to rebel. I don't know how many monarchs are affected by this.
Last year, Chen Shuozhen's rebellion was not because local officials ignored the lives and death of the people and forced to impose intensive taxes when the people suffered a great disaster, which led to the people of Qingxi County having to fight to the death to save their lives, which almost caused a disaster. This was not your Majesty's intention, but the mistakes were taken by your Majesty. Those people pointed the finger at Your Majesty, which was an unfair act, but there was no way to do this. After all, Your Majesty is the emperor, and whenever there is chaos, everyone will look at Your Majesty. If you want to prevent this phenomenon from happening again, I think that this should be the case. Those who are officials should have this spirit."
It’s worthy of being Wu Meiniang. I really want to agree to this, but I don’t know if you agree or not. Han Yi couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up!
ps: Today, Xiaoxianren finally ushered in a big ban. The third update must be made. There will be another update at noon. I will repay the love of all the readers. I urge you to support Xiaoxianren more because of Xiaoxi's efforts. (To be continued.)
