Golden Summoner

"Sir, Daozhou City is ahead. I saw a lot of people at the official post in front of me. Flags were waving. It seemed that they were officials from Daozhou City coming to greet the master..."

The rolling carriage was driving on the official road. Zheng Ti, who was driving the carriage in front, opened the curtain in front of the carriage and said to Xia Pingan in the carriage.

"I know, just stop at the official post in front..." Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Zheng Ti and ordered.

Zheng Ti, who was driving the bus, nodded and continued driving.

Xia Ping'an looked at Han Yu's "On Criticism of Officials" in his hand with great interest.

This Han Yu's article is indeed excellent. Even if he wrote this article to scold himself, his "Lun on Criticism" is also impeccably written. An "Lun on Criticism" contains extensive quotations and quotations from the Book of Changes. When he came to "Shangshu", Han Yu picked up his words, scolded himself again and again, and left himself speechless.

Seeing Xia Ping'an reading Han Yu's article, Xue Yue, who was also sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but said, "... then Han Yu wrote "On Criticism of Officials" to ridicule the teacher for taking the position of admonishing the doctor. This time The traitor Pei Yanling framed Master Lu, and everyone in the court knew that Master Lu was unjust, but only the teacher dared to stand up and argue for Master Lu, and denounced the traitor. I wonder where Han Yu's face will go this time put?"

Xia Ping'an smiled and said, "Xue Yue, you are too straightforward and have a bad temper. No one can be faulted by a sage. I have been silent for many years when I served as an admonishment doctor. Han Yu couldn't stand it. He wrote articles and scolded me. The sentences are normal, Han Yu’s article is excellent, you should study more!”

"Why didn't the teacher refute Han Yu in the first place?"

"It's just a matter of doing something and not doing anything. You have to remember that an admonishment officer is like a sword. If you meet someone who doesn't like to sharpen the sword, the sword will be used more often and the sword will not be sharp. How can you cut through the thorns at the critical moment? I In the position of an admonishing doctor, risking one's life and admonishing this time can prevent His Majesty from doing stupid things, preventing Lu Zhi and others from being harmed by Pei Yanling, and preventing His Majesty from becoming a foolish king who kills loyal ministers in vain."

"Teacher, who is the sword sharpener?"

"Taizong liked to sharpen his sword, and Wei Zheng showed his sharpness!" Xia Ping'an said.

Xue Yue seemed to have realized something, but still looked angry, "Everyone in the world knows that Pei Yanling is a treacherous woman who is flattering, incompetent, and good at dealing with people. Back then, the traitorous Prime Minister was serving as an envoy, but he only made some books and accounts to fool His Majesty. , the imperial treasury has not increased at all, but your majesty thinks that he is good at managing money and has been promoted and promoted one after another. The traitor is the one who deserves to be killed and demoted. This time, the teacher is desperately writing a letter to impeach the traitor. Isn't it that your majesty still doesn't wake up..."

Xia Ping'an looked at Xue Yue, but he was thinking in his heart that Xue Yue's temper was really upright. If he hadn't kept him by his side to teach him all the time, Xue Yue would have been convicted of his words and relegated to the countryside.

I don't know if I can change Xue Yue's fate and the divine power he will get after the successful fusion of the world beads will increase.

In addition to the student Xue Yue, Zheng Ti, who is currently driving as his servant, is actually dead long ago according to historical records.

What happened to Zheng Ti should be the most frustrating thing in Yangcheng's life. Zheng Ti was originally a loyal and upright person. Because he had no money to bury his father, Yangcheng still lived in seclusion in Xiayang Mountain. After helping him bury his father, Zheng Ti was willing to do so. He worked as a slave and served Yangcheng's right and left, but Yangcheng was loyal and unwilling to repay his kindness. He only wanted to treat Zheng Ti as a student. He also taught Zheng Ti to read and learn "The Book of Songs" and "Guo Feng". But that Zheng Ti Ti is indeed not the material for reading. In the end, I felt that I was sorry for Yangcheng's teachings and could not study further. I was so ashamed that I actually hanged myself.

The death of Zheng Ti was also the most annoying thing in Yangcheng Jun's life. When Zheng Ti died, Yangcheng Jun took off his clothes to apologize for his sins in Zheng Ti's mourning hall, and asked his servants to whip him with thorns to atone for his sins.

After fusing this world bead this time, Xia Pingan will naturally not let the tragedy of the past happen again. After helping Zheng Ti bury his father in Xia Yang Mountain, Xia Pingan accepted Zheng Ti and asked Zheng Ti to follow him as a servant. Not studying, only doing things, Zheng Ti really tried his best and is still active and vigorous until now.

There are actually two hardest parts of integrating this world pearl. One is being recruited by the imperial court in Yangcheng to become an admonishment official, and knowing when to risk one's life to speak out and get the chance to be demoted to Daozhou. The second is being demoted. After arriving in Daozhou, he knew what to do to relieve the sufferings of the people in Daozhou.

The Qianhuan boy summoned by this world bead should be related to the dwarfs that the people of Daozhou paid tribute to the court...

…

Soon, the carriage arrived at the official post in front. More than a hundred people, including Daozhou City officials and flag bearers, gathered here to welcome the arrival of the new governor.

When Xia Pingan got off the carriage, he took out his seal and showed his identity. The officials in Daozhou City greeted Xia Pingan and prepared to return to Daozhou City by clearing the way.

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Ping'an was already thinking about where to start after arriving in Daozhou. The matter of stopping tribute was not a trivial matter and involved the interests of all aspects. His officials and the observers above him may all be involved. From the Sui Dynasty Since Emperor Yangdi, Daozhou has been paying tribute to dwarfs. All the dwarf figurines of the Tang Dynasty came from Daozhou. In the words of later generations, dwarfs have formed an industrial chain in Daozhou. Many people have been promoted and made rich by paying tribute to dwarfs. I came here this time to stop many people from getting promoted and making money.

The officials and honor guards who greeted Xia Ping'an walked on the official road with majesty, making the people along the way look at them with suspicion.

In less than an hour, Xia Pingan's carriage followed the officials and arrived at the east gate of Daozhou City.

After walking for such a long time, with the scorching sun above our heads, the flag players were all wilted, but they still managed to keep their spirits up.

Just as the motorcade was about to enter the city, suddenly, a woman rushed out from the city gate, knelt down in front of the honor guard, and cried loudly, "The women of the people have been wronged, please forgive the women of the people." Make the decision!”

Seeing this happening just after the newly arrived governor entered the city, the officials who greeted Xia Ping'an suddenly turned green in the face.

"Where are you this bold and cunning woman? Drag her away..." An official on horseback shouted coldly and was about to order the woman blocking the road to be dragged away from the city gate.

"Wait a minute..." The curtain of the carriage was opened. Xia Ping'an had already got off the carriage, passed directly past the officials and flag bearers, came to the place where the wronged woman was kneeling, and took a look at the woman.

The woman kneeling on the ground was in her twenties, wearing a coarse linen skirt, with rough hands and face, and her face was dusty. At first glance, she must be a peasant woman from the countryside near Daozhou City. She must have been waiting here for a long time.

"I am the newly appointed governor of Daozhou, Yangcheng, and the entire Daozhou is under my rule!" Xia Pingan glanced at the people watching the excitement around him, said loudly, and then reached out to help the woman, "You have Why are you being wronged and why are you blocking the road? You can talk about it after you get up!"

"Ms. He, a commoner woman, asks you to make the decision for me..." The woman who was kneeling on the ground did not get up at all. Instead, she kowtowed and cried loudly. The woman's forehead was knocked on the dusty ground, and her forehead was swollen. It's green and covered in dust. "My child has just turned one year old and has been snatched away. Please help me get my child back. Wuwuwuwu. I don't want to live without my child. Wuwuwu." Woo hoo..."

"According to the provisions of my "Tang Code", those who plunder people and sell them into slaves will be hanged; those who are slaves will be exiled for three thousand miles. Those who are wives, concubines and descendants will be exiled for three years. Who dares to rob children in our Daozhou? If you tell me, I will definitely make the decision for you. I want to see who in this city is so bold?" Xia Pingan probably knew who did it, but he still told Tang Lu loudly. , his righteous words made the surrounding people a little commotion.

"The civilian woman's child was snatched away by that man and a few policemen!" The civilian woman raised her head and pointed at one of the officials standing behind Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan turned his head and looked at the officials in Daozhou City behind him.

There are many officials who came to greet him today. They are all people from the governor's office of Daozhou. There are Biejia, Changshi, and Sima from the governor's office, who record affairs and participate in the military. There are also Si Gong, Sicang, Sihu, Sibing, etc. There are officials from the Six Cao Cao such as Judiciary and Si Shi, as well as some minor officials.

The person pointed by the peasant woman was none other than the Sihu of the Six Cao Zhongzhong of the Governor's Mansion. The position of Sihu was to count people's household registration. In Xia Pingan's eyes, this was a small official as sesame as mung beans, but in the eyes of ordinary people, , this kind of small official is also a great big shot.

The Sihu of Daozhou City is a man who looks like a pig. He is in his thirties, with bubbles in his eyes, black eye bags, and a fat head. He is sweating profusely and panting after walking this distance. He was in Guanyi just now. At the meeting, the Sihu introduced himself. Xia Pingan still remembered this guy, his name was Wang Qi.

Seeing the civilian woman pointing at him and the governor looking over, the Sihu Wang Qi's expression changed. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He quickly defended, "Please tell me, sir, I will never I have never kidnapped children!"

"Then why did she correct you?" Xia Pingan asked calmly, "Are you saying that she falsely accused you? If she falsely accused you, I can make the decision for you and clear your name and punish her!"

"It's you. Just ten days ago, you came to my house with a few policemen and snatched away my child. You also injured me with an iron ruler and pushed me to the ground. You turned into ashes and I also I recognize it, and all the neighbors around my home can testify..." The civilian woman looked at the clerk, gritted her teeth, wiped her tears, and directly in front of everyone, she tore off her clothes, revealing a black streak on her shoulder. "Sir, please see, this is the mark left by that person who hit me with an iron ruler. My husband died of illness when the child was just one month old. Now they are here to snatch my child again. God, what am I doing?" What evil have you done? Why do you do this to me..."

The woman was crying on the ground, her voice was so sad that everyone around her looked at her with sympathy, and many of the women who were watching almost cried.

Moreover, with such a commotion, more and more people were watching at the city gate. In the blink of an eye, there were people on the third floor and the third floor around.

"This...this..." There was sweat on the forehead of the clerk, and he looked at his colleagues around him for help, especially the Sicang official, but the Sicang official looked away, not wanting to take this trouble, and saw Xia Pingan's eyes began to turn cold, and Sihu Wang Qi could only hesitate and say, "Master Governor... this... can you please go back to the official office and explain to your Excellency..."

"Where we are in the Tang Dynasty, under the land of the Emperor, Heaven and Empress, are all places of reason. The place where this palace is located is the court. If you have reasons, why go to the Yamen to talk about it!" Xia Pingan said loudly, with murderous intent and righteous words. The countless people watching around were shocked, "If you have anything to say, you can say it now. In front of countless people in Daozhou City in this city, you can explain it clearly to me now. If you don't explain it clearly, I will immediately I will take your head for the crime of robbery!"

Hearing what Xia Ping An said, the Sihu King Qi gritted his teeth, lowered his head and defended, "Sir...Sir... I didn't rob anyone. I was... preparing tributes for His Majesty!"

They actually carried out the emperor and the tributes?

Xia Pingan had been staring at Wang Qi's face. Seeing Wang Qi's face, Xia Pingan sneered in his heart. He actually wanted to use the emperor and tributes to pressure me. In front of so many people, you didn't mention the emperor and tributes. Well, if you say it now, you are seeking death. You probably don’t know how you passed the Jinshi exam.

"When did the Tang Dynasty offer children and infants as tribute? I came from Chang'an just now. Why didn't I know?" Xia Pingan asked.

"This...this...children and infants cannot be used as tributes, but dwarf puppets can be. Your Excellency, you should have seen those dwarf puppets in Chang'an City. Those dwarf puppets were trained by those children. This He is the earth offering of our Daozhou City!" This Sihu Wang Qi actually had a needle hidden in his clothes and wanted to turn against him.

"Oh, really?" Xia Pingan smiled, "So, you admitted that you had robbed this civilian woman's child?"

"Sir, this is not robbing, but collecting soil as tribute!" Sihu Wang Qi continued to defend.

Xia Pingan asked the woman who complained, "When he took away your child, did he give you money or silk?"

The woman shook her head, "No, these people always snatch children directly..."

When Xia Ping'an heard this, his face instantly turned cold, and he pointed directly at Sihu Wang Qi, "Come here, capture this robbing traitor for me!"

The officials and servants who greeted Xia Pingan looked at each other. For a moment, they looked at each other and did not move.

Xia Ping'an looked at Daozhou City's secretary-joining army and the yamen's service team leader, "Disobeying the governor's order is tantamount to treason. Why, in full view of the people of Daozhou City, you two are going to be like him, Do you want to rebel?"

The recorder of the governor's office was responsible for supervising the six Cao Cao when he joined the army, while the leader of the guard team took orders directly from the governor. When they heard Xia Ping'an mentioned the crime of treason, the two officials were agitated, and without saying a word, they quickly gave orders to their guards. , and pushed the Sihu King Qi to the ground.

"Sir, I don't accept it. You can't take me. I'm collecting tributes for the court. I didn't commit a crime. I didn't commit a crime..." Sihu Wang Qi was pushed to his knees on the ground, still shouting.

"According to the imperial decree, all counties' contributions shall be based on what the local land produces, and the price shall be silk. The tribute items shall not exceed fifty pieces, and the official items shall be used to fill the market. The tribute shall be minimal, and the items shall be easily provided. The holy dynasty The regular system is here. In addition to this, it also discounts rents and taxes, not to mention military conquests. You said that people were robbed in order to pay tribute. Then let me ask you, where did the compensation given by the court to those who paid tribute go? , why was it not given to that woman? Dare to embezzle the land offered as compensation to His Majesty, it is also a capital offense!"

Sihu Wang Qi's face suddenly changed drastically, "This... this..."

Sihu Wang Qi couldn't explain, because all the so-called compensation to the people had been swallowed up, how could it be distributed, and embezzling so much court land as compensation was also a capital crime.

"You keep saying that you rob children to pay tribute, but the imperial court stipulates that the price of land offerings cannot exceed fifty pieces. It also stipulates that the government must compensate the property losses of those who pay tribute. You rob children without discounting the rent and taxes. , do not pay silk and property, how is this different from thieves who plunder people? You keep saying that this is for His Majesty and the court, but in fact you are doing this beastly thing under the banner of His Majesty, deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth, and making His Majesty He is at odds with the imperial court and the people of Daozhou, causing the people of Daozhou to be separated from their flesh and blood, and also slandering the reputation of your majesty and the imperial court. He deserves to be punished for his crime!"

Xia Pingan pointed at Sihu Wang Qi, "As a court official, if you know the law and break the law, your crime will be increased to one level. Come on, kill this beast here with a stick immediately, and give an explanation to the people of Daozhou!"

The officers who were holding Sihu Wangqi hesitated for a moment, but they still pushed Wang Qi to the ground and beat him with sticks, making Sihu Wangqi scream loudly.

At the beginning, the guards did not dare to use too much force and kept their hands tied.

"Xue Yue, this Wang Qi has done many evil things. If there are any accomplices in the governor's office, check it out for me when you get back!" Xia Pingan said directly to Xue Yue who was next to him.

"Yes, sir!" Xue Yue replied from the side.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of some of the surrounding officials changed again, and the strength of those officers' hands suddenly exploded, and they began to beat him with all their strength.

Wang Qi, who was screaming loudly just now, only had the strength to hum after just a few screams. Later, Wang Qi didn't even have the strength to hum, and was completely silent.

In front of all the people in Daozhou City, Xia Ping'an killed the evil officials at the city gate as soon as he arrived in Daozhou City, shocking all the officials in the governor's Yamen.

When Wang Qi was being beaten, the people around him spread the word, and more and more people gathered around to watch the fun. In just the blink of an eye, thousands of people gathered at the gate of Daozhou City.

After being beaten hundreds of times, Wang Qi's back was bruised, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he no longer made any sound, just like a piece of rotten meat.

The officer who was beating the man stopped, and the secretary of the governor's office came forward to check, and then reported to Xia Ping'an tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Wang Qi has been killed with a stick..."

"Drag the person down..." Xia Pingan ordered.

…

"Qingtian, Qingtian is coming, Master Qingtian is coming..." When the people around him saw this scene, an old man exclaimed in excitement.

"Lord Governor, please make the decision for us..." Countless people began to shout.

"Sir, my child was also captured by them..." Another person among the crowd of onlookers knelt down, "Please save my poor child..."

"Sir, save us Daozhou people. We Daozhou people are suffering too much..." More and more Daozhou people knelt down at the city gate and burst into tears...
