Zou Qingyuan stood there in a daze, his face turned red.

He thought that as long as he could handle this matter properly, the court would definitely discover his own benefits after seeing the Yulin Mansion so hard, but he did not want to do anything he had done to manage the scene. In the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was not only worthless, but even a foolish move that ruined the overall situation.

"You are born in the first year of Tianyuan, and this palace will make it easier for you to tell a story about the autumn of the sixth year of Tianyuan."

Li Chen said lightly: "The Yellow River flooded back then, and 17 counties in three provinces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait suffered floods. There is a dam upstream of Qingshui County today. This dam is related to the life and death of the four counties on both sides of the Yellow River. "

"At that time, Qingshui County was a famous local clean and capable official. He was ordered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin of the four counties at that time. At that time, Qingshui County was in the upper reaches of the embankment, and the other three counties were in the lower reaches of the embankment. In order to protect the 80,000 people in Qingshui County, he forced the dike to release water regardless of others' dissuasion. So Qingshui County was saved. However, the Yellow River collapsed and the flood poured down and flooded the land of the three counties in the lower reaches. Two hundred miles of the 220,000 people became unjust souls in the water."

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

"Some people think that as the magistrate of Qingshui County, he was unshirkable to protect the people under his jurisdiction. The people in other counties had nothing to do with him, so there was no fault in opening the dam and releasing water."

"But more people think that the magistrate of Qingshui County has preserved his reputation for his own benefit, resulting in the three lower counties becoming a country, and 220,000 people suffering from life, and the crime is extremely serious."

"After the incident, the magistrate was immediately dismissed from prison by the provincial governor who was in the then-departed province. However, the case was too big, and the governor at that time did not dare to deal with it without authorization. He simply sent the person to the capital and removed him himself. The case was tried six times by the Ministry of Justice and was promoted to the court four times by the Third Department, but he could not convict. In the end, the Chief of the Third Department joined forces to meet the saint and handed over the problem to the late emperor. Do you know how the late emperor ruled?"

Zou Qingyuan's face turned pale and lowered his head and replied: "Weichen has heard that the final solution is...Zhen Li Jue."

"yes."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Slay the Li Jue."

"But Qingshui County has so far a commoner who secretly worships his tablet. Can you say he is a bad official?"

"From the perspective of the 80,000 people in Qingshui County, he is the reborn parents, but in front of the souls of the 200,000 people, he is extremely guilty. In the end, the court will come forward to provide disaster relief and clean up the aftermath."

"This case was not only shocking at the time, but the whole world was watching, especially local officials. Because the final result of this case will directly change the administration atmosphere of the entire Qin Empire, because it directly points to a fatal problem. What should we do as an official?"

"Being an official is like being a human being, but being an official is difficult to be a human being."

"The late emperor issued an edict to behead him and declare him. There is a sentence in the edict: The foundation of governance is the most important thing for the people in the world, the second is the country, the second is the king, and the ancestors are born in different regions. However, they are all the people of our Great Qin, and they are the people, so there is no difference between high and low, and those who lose the majority with their own interests will be thieves."
