Confucian and Taoist scholar

Du Ning glanced at the crowd, and finally landed on the kneeling government servant. He lightly patted the prison guard, but it shocked the government servant and made him sit on pins and needles.

"As a yamen officer, you actually colluded with a superior official and used your power for personal gain. It's really abominable. But if you confess the mastermind in time, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll dismiss you immediately so you can take care of yourself!" Du Ning said.

"Thank you Du Jun, thank you Du Jun!"

The other party hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and then was stripped of his official uniform by the soldiers and kicked out of the courtroom.

"What happened in this courtroom today opened my eyes and made me understand many truths. I will write down my insights to warn all officials in the world."

Du Ning waved his hand gently, and a set of the four treasures of the study appeared on the table. He used a paperweight to hold down the white paper, and he held an ink stick and slowly ground out the ink in the inkstone.

After thinking for a while, Du Ning took a brush and wrote sixteen words on the white paper.

You have a salary and a salary, and the people anoint the people.

The people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully.

"Boom!"

The majestic talent and power soared into the sky, soaring straight into the sky.

At the same time, a powerful force of literary courage spread out, shaking the literary courage of all the scholars watching.

The holy temple of Tianfeng Mansion suddenly trembled slightly, and the tablets of the saints enshrined in it emitted bursts of light.

Not only that, but the holy temples in various human countries also triggered strange resonances.

Holy Court.

All the saints were alarmed by the words written by Du Ning, and they all lowered their holy thoughts and entered the Ping Kingdom to find out.

With the feedback of the Pingguo's national destiny and the people's support, the saints instantly understood the whole story.

"Good! As expected of Mr. Yunqi, he serves the country and the people. These sixteen words alone show his heart!"

"The law exists to protect the interests of the people, rather than becoming a tool used by corrupt officials to harm the people."

"The reason why people sue officials is because they are bullied and oppressed by corrupt officials. They are the victims in the first place. How can they be punished for suing officials as private citizens? Today's case is certainly not the first, but this case

Holy Hope is the last case!"

"Mr. Yan Shenggong, what do you think?"

The saints asked Kong Chunfeng for his opinion.

Kong Chunfeng thought for a moment and finally answered in eight words: "If you don't destroy it, you won't establish it. If you destroy it, you will establish it."

"Good!" all the saints said in unison.

After a moment, a strong semi-holy voice sounded in the sky above the Holy Courtyard.

"Your salary is your salary, and the people anoint the people."

"It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them."

With the help of the power of the holy temple, the semi-saint's voice spread throughout the countries and reached all the government halls.

"This is the voice of the saint! The saint has appeared!"

"The holy sound from heaven is an auspicious sign!"

"I'll wait to see the saint!"

In the yamen of Tianfeng Mansion, as soon as everyone heard the semi-holy voice, the common people knelt down and paid homage, while the scholars bowed deeply in the direction of Pingguo Academy.

"Shocked...shocked the saint!"

Feng Jinming even opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face. He never thought that the words written by Du Ning could alarm the saint!

"Kacha...Kacha..."

The surface of the stone tablets on the left and right sides cracked, and the words "False accusations will be punished by three grades" and "False accusations will be punished by fifty punishments" fell off as they cracked.

The next moment, golden light bloomed on Du Ning's page, and a "bang" hit the two stone tablets.

On the stone tablet on the right side, there are eight words: "Er salary and salary, the people anoint the people", while on the left stone tablet, there are eight words: "It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for heaven to bully".

Bright and sparkling.

All the scholars exclaimed, knowing that "false accusations will be punished by three grades" and "more accusations will result in fifty whippings" to warn all those who come to complain, and they have been used since ancient times.

But now these words fell off and were replaced by sixteen new words written by Du Ning.

Du Ning did not dare to do this, it was obviously the power of the semi-holy voice that helped.

The same thing happened not only to the yamen of Tianfeng Mansion, but also to the yamen of various human countries. The words on the stone tablet cracked and fell off, and were replaced with sixteen characters written by Du Ning.

This shows that the saints of the Holy Court have overturned this ancient precept and will use the text written by Du Ning from now on to warn all officials in the world.

"False accusations will be punished by three grades" and "The more you file a lawsuit, the more you will be flogged for fifty times". Literally understood, they are telling everyone that they cannot falsely accuse others and cannot appeal beyond the level.

In fact, its essence is to protect the interests of officials.

If an official determines that the person making the complaint is a false accusation and uses punishment without explanation, it is easy for the victim to suffer secondary harm.

The sixteen characters written by Du Ning have a larger pattern. All official salaries come from the taxes of the people. Although officials can bully the people, God will definitely punish them for their actions.

Pay the due price for what you do.

Now these sixteen words are engraved on the stone tablet to warn the officials and let them know their positions and responsibilities. They must not abuse the people because of their greed, otherwise they will be punished by nature and will regret it.

…………

Under the jurisdiction of the capital city of Jingguo, Qishan Prefecture.

In the Yamen study room, Magistrate Qishan was processing official documents with a dull smile on his face.

This year, the harvest in many places in the county was not good, and the people were living a very difficult life. The capital allocated three million taels of silver to buy food and clothing and send them to poor areas in the county to help poor families survive the winter.
As long as the prefect of Qishan signs the document, 800,000 taels of silver will be pocketed for himself.

Thinking of this, the prefect of Qishan happily signed the words.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, and the prefect Qishan is very familiar with it.

It is precisely by relying on this method that the prefect of Qishan has a huge fortune and thousands of hectares of fertile land.

But then, a semi-saint's voice sounded from the sky above the Yamen.

"Your salary is your salary, and the people anoint the people."

"It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them."

Every word was like thunder from the sky, hitting Prefect Qishan hard in his heart.

Magistrate Qishan instantly turned pale with fright, his forehead was sweating, and the hand holding the brush couldn't stop shaking.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Suddenly he regretted that he shouldn't have signed his name in such a hurry. After all, he didn't know that there would be a holy message from heaven at this time, and this holy message from heaven was aimed at none other than the corrupt officials in the world.
"Kacha..."

The magistrate's bile cracked, and a stream of blood spewed out from his mouth and sprinkled on the eucalyptus table.

"Saint forgive me! Saint spare my life! The official is aware of his sin! It was because he was greedy and he deserves to die!"

The prefect of Qishan knelt down on the ground with a plop and kept kowtowing in the direction of the holy courtyard.

However, no one responded to him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Magistrate Qishan seemed to be possessed by a demon. He smashed a hole in the ground with his head, and finally fell to the ground with a bloody head and a look of unwillingness to die.

It's not that the saint is unwilling to show mercy, but that the magistrate Qishan has accumulated too much greed over the years, and the only choice is holy punishment.

…………

A certain state government in Chu State.

At this time, the state pastor was discussing with a group of officials. Suddenly, he heard the holy voice from heaven. Everyone stood up and bowed in the direction of the holy courtyard.

Many officials looked happy. The appearance of the holy voice from heaven was probably a sign of progress for the human race. The entire human race had not heard a holy voice from heaven for more than two hundred years. How could we not surprise everyone present?

However, after listening to the content of the sacred message from heaven, many officials' expressions became serious, while a few gritted their teeth and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

The state pastor sighed helplessly and bowed in the direction of the holy courtyard: "I have been studying hard for ten years, and I was lucky enough to get the second place in the ranking. I served as the state pastor, worked hard, and worked hard to govern. However, I couldn't stand the bribery of my colleagues, corrupted the law, and enriched my own pocket. I feel ashamed.

In order to treat the people, I will write a letter to the court on the same day to apologize, scatter my family wealth, and return to my fields and hometown."

After saying this, Zhou Mu took off his black gauze hat.

"The lower official is guilty, and the lower official is willing to resign to apologize."

"I have read the books of saints in vain, and I am ashamed of the teachings of all saints."

"I'm guilty! I can't forgive my sin!"

Later, some officials took off their black gauze hats, placed them on eucalyptus, and exited the hall.

Other officials were completely on the contrary. Their literary talents were washed by the sacred sound from heaven and became extremely clear and translucent. Some officials even showed signs of breakthroughs, and they were overjoyed.

"Thank you saint for your help. We will definitely share the worries of the people and work hard."

"A lower official must live up to the government's trust and work for the benefit of the people."

…………

Within the Liang Kingdom, in a remote small county.

This is Qinghe County, which is located in a remote area and has a poor economy. Most of the people in the county are poor.

Even the official uniform of the county magistrate is sewn and patched with various patches.

At this time, the Qinghe County Magistrate was reviewing official documents, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

Suddenly, a holy voice descended from the sky, piercing the ears like thunder, causing the literary bravery to tremble.

The Qinghe County Magistrate felt like he had been enlightened. His literary courage suddenly doubled, his talent and strength increased. He was originally a seventh-grade Jinshi, but he suddenly broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to a sixth-grade Hanlin.

This made the Qinghe County magistrate feel refreshed and extremely happy. He bowed in the direction of the holy courtyard and said, "Thank you saint for your help. Bao will definitely advance and retreat together with the people of Qinghe County. If he cannot let the people live a good life during his tenure,

We cannot allow the common people to eat a meal of meat during the New Year and festivals, and then do away with this head wearing a black gauze hat. This oath is based on literary courage and hopes that all the saints will learn from it."

After finishing speaking, Magistrate Qinghe's literary style exuded strong power, sweeping away the feeling of fatigue and allowing Magistrate Qinghe to devote himself to his work in a better state.

…………

Since the Holy Sound came down from the Holy Academy, some officials in various official offices in various human kingdoms died violently, and some officials resigned en masse. Only a few officials received great benefits from the Holy Sound. Not only

He improved his Confucianism and Taoism, and therefore attracted the attention of the court.

Inside the yamen of Tianfeng Mansion in Pingguo.

Feng Jinming looked at the words on the two stone tablets on the left and right. He felt that his writing was fragile and thin, and there was a faint possibility of it breaking. At the same time, he regretted what he had done in the past, and said to Du Ning: "The holy voice from heaven is like thunder.

, let the subordinates wake up from a dream and regret their mistakes. Students should follow Du Jun as an example in the future, regard you as a teacher to learn from you, change their ways, and even if they can no longer be an official of the court, they must be a true scholar for the sake of

The country and the people are ruined to atone for the sins of the past!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Du Ning three times.

Du Ning was slightly pleased. Feng Jinming could admit his mistakes like this, which showed that he deeply regretted the mistakes he had made. A scholar's behavior can deceive others, but his literary courage cannot deceive his own heart.

Seeing Feng Jinming sincerely apologizing, some of the onlookers understood Feng Jinming's behavior today.

Du Ning said to Fu Shupeng: "Please ask General Fu to escort Feng Jinming back to Beijing."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Du, leave this matter to us!"

Fu Shupeng immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Here comes someone! Capture Feng Jinming and escort him back to Beijing immediately."

"Get the order!"

The soldiers immediately came out and took Feng Jinming away.

Du Ning was stunned: "Quit!"

Then he stood up and left with the crowd.

He looked back at the two stone tablets in the court, which had his own words engraved on them, and the court door was closed.

After Fu Shupeng escorted Feng Jinming into the capital, many soldiers and horses also headed towards the capital.

When Du Ning came to the street, all the scholars in Pingguo bowed down to show respect to Du Ning.

"Du Jun, please stay here today and don't leave. Let our Tianfeng Mansion entertain you well."

"Yes! Not only did you punish Magistrate Feng for our Tianfeng Mansion, but you also left a sixteen-character epigram in the courtroom. From now on, officials in the yamen of all human countries will use your epigram to remind themselves.

It is your meritorious service that lasts for thousands of years. We, Tianfeng Mansion, should build an archway for you to commend your achievements."

"Well said! If we build a memorial arch for Du Jun, it is our duty in Tianfeng Mansion!"

All the scholars and common people in the audience said yes.

The archway is a building erected to commemorate meritorious service, academic achievements, virtues, and loyalty, filial piety, and justice. It is also called the archway. The sacred forest in mainland China is called the Wenpaifang. It is often seen in the birthplaces of many great Confucians, Wenjun, or semi-saints.

Those who have made contributions to a county will build a county memorial arch.

Those who have made meritorious service to a country will build an archway in the capital.

Those who have made meritorious service to the human race will build an archway in front of the Holy Courtyard.

Like Du Ning, who has made great contributions to the human race, there is naturally an archway honoring Du Ning in the Holy Courtyard. Whenever scholars from various countries see the archway, they will know about Du Ning's life and deeds based on the content of the archway.

If Tianfeng Mansion builds an archway for Du Ning, Tianfeng Mansion will become a scenic spot in various countries. In the future, it will definitely attract countless scholars to come to see Du Ning's archway. It will be a matter of honor for the entire mansion.

Therefore, everyone is naturally extremely positive about such good things.

Du Ning thanked everyone for their kindness, and then said goodbye to everyone, but was intercepted by many scholars in Tianfeng Mansion, who insisted on keeping Du Ning to eat in Tianfeng Mansion to express his gratitude to Du Ning.

So Du Ning told everyone that after he attended the Fu family's wedding in the capital, he would come back to Tianfeng Mansion as a guest.

Everyone saw through that Du Ning was politely refusing. After the Fu family's wedding was over, Du Ning would definitely escape, so they all forced Du Ning to stay for one night.

Du Ning showed off Wenjun's aura and told them that if he was not allowed to leave, then he would not allow them to build an archway for him in Tianfeng Mansion.

Everyone was helpless, so they let Du Ning leave.
