Online Games: Start as an Emperor

This year's second place winner is Kuang Zhong, a figure that Lu Yan is not familiar with.

But Kuang Zhong's articles are very good, especially the chapter on governing the country, second only to Sun Shuao.

There are some views that even Lu Yan has to admire.

Kuang Zhong believes that if a country wants to be governed well, it must be done step by step and cannot be done too hastily.

In addition to officials being honest and diligent, the king must also work hard to govern.

Only when everyone is united can the country be strong and prosperous.

In the policy of governing the country, it is taboo to change orders in the morning and at night.

A stable national policy is needed.

Lu Yan fully agreed with Kuang Zhong's statement.

After discussing with the four prime ministers, he was designated as the second one.

This year's imperial examination talents are not as good as last year's.

Last year was the third year of the imperial examination.

It went through testing in the first year, perfection in the second year, and explosion in the third year.

There is a lot of talent emerging.

Yu Qian was an outstanding figure who lasted for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty.

Song Lian was the first literati in the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Yijian is also an extremely outstanding person.

The most outstanding one this year is Sun Shuao.

Compared with them, Kuang Zhong fell short.

Kuang Zhong is similar to Bao Zheng, both famous upright officials in history.

Bao Zheng is called——Bao Qingtian.

It just so happens that Kuang Zhong is also called Kuang Qingtian.

Kuang Zhong was a well-known honest official in the Ming Dynasty. He was initially appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs to Lu Zhen. He was so talented that he was recommended to be the head of the Department of Ceremony.

Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was moved to the doctor's school.

In the fourth year of Yongle's reign, he was appointed Cao Cao of Jingan County.

In the 13th year, he was recommended by Lu Zhen, the Minister of Finance, and appointed as the head of the Department of Rituals and Regulations of the Ministry of Rites.

In the 21st year, he was promoted to the rank of doctor.

In the fifth year of Xuande's reign, the emperor thought that many of the county guards were incompetent, and that there were vacancies in the nine prefectures such as Suzhou and Xiongju. The ministers of the Ministry of Life and the Academy recommended their subordinates and those who were honest and capable could fill them. Shangshu Jian Yi and others recommended him to be appointed magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture.

At that time, Suzhou government had heavy taxes and servitude, making it difficult to govern.

Many people are unwilling to govern.

After Kuang Zhong arrived in Suzhou, he rectified the administration of officials, enforced the law impartially, and reduced taxes.

At that time, corrupt officials frequently tortured the people, and he successively exempted nearly 1,400 people at his discretion.

At the same time, he collaborated with the governor Zhou Chen to carefully plan and provide the people with more than 700,000 shi of tax-free grain.

He promoted advantages and eliminated disadvantages, spared no effort, hoe the powerful, and supported the good. He was a famous upright official in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the people worshiped him as a god.

Kuang Zhong was upright and honest in his dealings, not intimidated by power or violence. He also cooperated with Zhou Chen, the governor of Jiangxi, to reduce Suzhou government taxes and grains, build charity warehouses, allocate corvee service, exempt military households, recruit refugees, and build water conservancy projects.

Later, the people of Suzhou built a shrine for him and praised it as"Kang Qingtian".

Kuang Zhong came to Suzhou three times in his life.

Every time I come to Suzhou, it brings different changes.

Admired by others.

Lu Yan didn't know Kuang Zhong, but he was talented and definitely not an unknown person.

So Lu Yan checked Kuang Zhong's information.

I found that the other party was indeed extraordinary, not only a historical celebrity, but also very powerful.

Like Sun Shuao, Kuang Zhong is also very honest.

It is said that Kuang Zhong has been the magistrate of Suzhou for nine years and is going to Beijing to assess his performance and meet the emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty, when local officials came to Beijing to meet with each other, they usually brought gold and silver treasures and famous local products to send to all the dignitaries in the capital. A popular ballad in the Ming Dynasty said:"The magistrate is like a broom, and the prefect is like a broom." The governor is stationed at the mouth of the sack, and everyone will go to the capital to shake things up." Kuang Zhong went to the capital to see the emperor, but his sleeves were clear and he did not carry a single baht.

When he left for Beijing, he wrote poems to bid farewell to the people of Suzhou who came to bid farewell. Two of them said: First, the breeze with two sleeves went to the sky, not taking an inch of cotton from the south of the Yangtze River.

Ashamed, the soldiers and the people sent each other farewell, and wine was sprinkled in front of the horses like a spring.

Second

, check your luggage. It's light and you can see how far you have traveled from Chang'an.

Stop the whip and quietly remember the official day, and be able to uphold the heavenly alliance in everything.

Kuang Zhong, unlike some other people, pretends to be cool.

Kuang Zhong was indeed honest throughout his life.

Don't be greedy for property.

There are many such officials in Yun State.

While Fang Yan was pleased, he was also a little distressed.

As officials of Yun State, these people worked conscientiously, but as a result, they lived a very miserable life in their later years.

This is the duty of a king.

As parent officials, the duty of officials is to ensure that their people have enough to eat and live a good life.

As a king, he is responsible for more than just the people.

There are also these honest officials who are dedicated to serving the public good.

Some even cannot afford to buy a coffin after death.

Just use a straw mat to roll the roll.

Old age is miserable.

Kuang Zhong said in"Shi Zhuzi Shi" that he"although he has no economic talent, he still adheres to the integrity". He warned his son that"it is not necessary to acquire wealth but to be diligent and thrifty."

He was frugal during his lifetime and was buried sparingly after his death.

During the Ten Years Catastrophe, his tomb was excavated, and it was found that there was nothing in the tomb except a few clothes and a hairpin.

······

The top pick in this year's imperial examination is Daotong.

This man was upright and upright, and was the county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty.

Because he asked for orders in his name, he was framed by Zhu Liangzu and sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang later learned what Zhu Liangzu had done, he felt sad.

Knowing that he had killed a loyal minister and a capable minister.

So Zhu Yuanzhang recalled Zhu Liangzu and beat him and his son Zhu Xian to death with whips. He also executed the local tyrants and bullies in Panyu County to avenge injustice.

This person's ability is remarkable.

Serving the people wholeheartedly!
