Chapter 648 (1/2)
”But those who objected were still not satisfied. Several times they almost started, but they were blocked back by the high priest's staff. What should you do? Strange things happened. However, those who objected to the high priest and touched the staff had nightmares, nonsense, looked like crazy, and even committed suicide to apologize. They were obviously delirious.”
”After sobering up, people with strong self-control realized that it was the problem of the staff, so they told the king of Chu that the high priest must be severely punished for using witchcraft without permission and harming courtiers. The high priest said that his staff was left to him by his master, that is, the former high priest. It was only used to investigate the secret of heaven. There was no problem. The reason why it was wrong was because those people were guilty of being thieves and were high priest The priest asked the king to investigate the courtiers to prove their innocence. ”
”As soon as the courtiers heard this, Ho! I was going to kill you, but you even bite back and want to fuck me? That's good! They played one after another immediately to execute the high priest. Just when the two compartments were deadlocked, the king personally sent someone to check the two high priests and the courtiers, and the results...”
”As a result, there was no problem with the high priest, but something happened to those courtiers, right?” Han Zhan said.
”Yes!” Lu Lingyu patted her thigh, ”Those courtiers were corrupt and deceived the superiors and subordinates. The king was furious. You know, the king hated corrupt officials very much. He immediately copied the moth's residence, executed them and exiled them. At one time, there were half of the officials in the court. The king personally ordered that the state of Chu would rather not have those who were slaughtered for officials than raise a group of evil people who ate and exploited the people People! ”
When the water is clean, there is no fish. They all work in the court. How can their men be clean?
”No one expected that the king was so swift and resolute, and his face turned pale with fear. Instead of being punished, the high priest completely consolidated his position in the court and became the king's confidant. The king said that if it were not for the high priest, he would not find so many corrupt officials. That is, from that time on, people knew, maybe the high priest knew early in the morning, so he would have made a plan After these things, that is, from then on, no one in the state of Chu dared to disrespect the high priest. ”
Han Zhan chuckled, ”it's just inviting the king into the urn.”
Lu Lingyu glanced: ”what do you mean?”
Then he reacted: ”do you mean the king did it on purpose?”
”You don't know?”
”How do I know about it?”
Lu Lingyu is smart, but this intelligence is only enough for him to protect himself.
What's more, he knows that it's none of his own business. As an official in the dynasty, he can't know too much or be too smart, otherwise he won't come to a good end.
Therefore, he never thought about the intention of the king of Chu.
Han Zhan sneered: ”you are the Minister of the king of Chu. You don't know what your intention is. How can I know?”
Having said that, Han Zhan can conclude that perhaps from the beginning, this is what the king of Chu did with the high priest.
The high priest understood the intention of the king of Chu, so he took his plan and punished the corrupt officials for the king.
The king of Chu is really clever!
No wonder he will give people tax relief.
Although there are many taxes year after year, they may be comparable to the confiscated corrupt official residence?
It's better to cut taxes and win the title of Ming Jun.
If the Treasury has no money, check several corrupt officials. If the Treasury has money, the people will be more happy.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Han Zhan didn't admit it, but Lu Lingyu guessed it.
He was stunned and said, ”I'm a real mother! It turns out that our king is so powerful!”
Han Zhan: ”
