Chapter 1763-You are the culprit for this crime

door of the general's residence.two horses had already been prepared outside the door, and when Li Chen was about to help Su Jinpa get on the horse, a sour male voice came over in surprise."Sue. Miss...Chapter 1763 this crime, you are the culprit

Zou Qingyuan stood still, his face flushed for a while.

he thought that as long as he could properly handle this matter, and when the court saw that the Yulin House was so well managed afterwards, he would certainly find his own advantages, but he did not want the scene he had worked so hard to be worthless in the eyes of his Royal Highness, not only worthless, but even a stupid move that spoiled the overall situation.

"you were born in the first year of Tianyuan, the late emperor, so it is convenient for you to tell a story about the autumn of the sixth year of Tianyuan."

Li Chen said faintly: "at that time, the Yellow River was flooded, and 17 counties in three provinces on both sides of the strait were flooded. There is a dam in the upper reaches of Qingshui County, which has a bearing on the life and death of a total of 300,000 people in four counties on both sides of the Yellow River."

"Qingshui County was a famous local upright and capable official at that time, and he was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin of the four counties at that time. At that time, Qingshui County was upstream of the dyke, while the other three counties were downstream of the dyke. In order to protect 80,000 people in Qingshui County, he forcibly cut open the dike and released water in spite of other people's dissuasion, so he saved Qingshui County, but the Yellow River broke its dike, and the flood poured down and inundated the three counties four hundred miles downstream. 220,000 people have become unjust souls in the water. "

"the case caused a great sensation in the imperial court at that time."

"some people think that as the magistrate of Qingshui County, it is incumbent on him to protect the people under his jurisdiction, and the people in other counties have nothing to do with him, so it is not his fault to open the dam and release water."

"but more people think that this Qingshui county magistrate, in order to protect his reputation for his own benefit, has led to the destruction of the lives of 220,000 people in the three downstream counties, and the crime is extremely heinous."

"after the incident, the magistrate was immediately dismissed and sent to prison by the provincial government envoy where he was located at that time, but the case was so big that the cloth envoy at that time did not dare to deal with it without authorization. He simply sent people to the capital and picked himself out. The case went through the sixth trial of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and was tried four times by the third division, but he could not be convicted all the time. Finally, he had no choice but to join hands with the three chiefs to go to the palace, and handed the problem to the emperor. Do you know what the emperor ruled "

Zou Qingyuan looked very white and bowed his head and replied, "the micro minister has heard of it, and the final disposal is to make a decision."

"Yes."

Li Chen nodded and said, "make a decision."

"but in Qingshui County, there are still people who secretly worship his tablets. Can you say that he is a bad official"

"from the point of view of the 80,000 people in Qingshui County, he is a reborn parent, but standing in front of the souls of those 200,000 people, he has committed a heinous crime, and in the end, the imperial court has to come forward to relieve the disaster and clean up the aftermath."

"at that time, the case was not only a shock between the government and the public, but also watched by the whole world, especially local officials, because the final outcome of this case will directly change the atmosphere of officials in the entire Qin empire, because it points directly to a fatal problem. What should be done as an official"

"being an official is like being a man, but it is difficult to be an official."

"at that time, the emperor ordered him to be decided, and there was such a sentence in the imperial edict: the husband is the foundation of governance, and the welfare of the Li people in the world is the heaviest, followed by the social state, the second king, and the ancestors born in different regions, but all of them are the people of the Qin Dynasty, that is, the people, there is no difference between nobility and inferiority, and those who harm the majority for their own gain are thieves."

after saying this, Li Chen stared at Zou Qingyuan, who was sweating in the winter, and said, "what you are doing today is so similar to the magistrate of Qingshui County at that time. Why did the court ask to be kind to the displaced people" Why are local authorities not allowed to make decisions in private It is because once one person has done so, by comparison, the image of the government in several other gathering places has plummeted, and the civil change will not take place in your Yulin prefecture, but will also occur in other gathering places. You are the culprit.
