There are corrupt officials in the world, whether it is ancient or modern, these people are the object of anger, in ancient times, when these people were executed, they were able to suddenly realize, understand where they were wrong, the person we are going to talk about today, after he was sentenced to death, he calmly told his son that he himself could never be executed, which also made many people wonder, where did the courage come from? The person we are talking about today is Bai Yao, a university scholar in Xianfeng, although he is a bachelor, his rights can be compared with that of the prime minister.
In that year, there was a township exam, he happened to become the chief examiner of the exam, in this exam, there was a candidate named Pingling, at first glance it looked like a rich second generation who did not like words, with his own family with a lot of money, he still sat in front of the stage to watch the play during the exam, but what was strange was that when it came to the list, he got the seventh place result. Many people will also think that there will naturally be cattiness in this, and many candidates also think that this matter is very unfair, and finally Yushi knows about this matter and plays it to the Xianfeng Emperor.
After learning of this matter, he immediately sent someone to investigate, in fact, he did not directly accept bribes, but this matter also has a lot to do with him, naturally there is no way to get rid of it, but what is surprising is that many people are very panicked when they are ordered to make a decision, and they also hope that the emperor will be gracious, but he is calm and relaxed, and he also told his son before the execution that he will not be executed, and he can go home to help him pack his bags, where does he come from? It turned out that he was a big member of the first product, an official of the imperial court, after all, the emperor did not search for direct evidence of bribery, and this matter also occurred in the small matter of the "township test", and naturally he would be treated openly.
However, in this matter, the Xianfeng Emperor was really extremely angry, he was determined to kill him, and originally wanted to re-send him, but after all, he still had to kill the chicken to show the monkey, otherwise such things would gradually happen after that, and even more and more serious, so in the end the Xianfeng Emperor also made up his heart and directly executed him. Since experiencing this incident, no one in the imperial court has dared to do this, and no one has dared to bribe the examiner, so this is to make a huge improvement in the atmosphere of the officialdom at that time, in fact, the emperor's approach was also right, after all, whether in ancient times or today, it is also necessary to be cruel, after all, blind indulgence, the final harm is also their own.
