Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 81 The Memorial of Gao Shilian
Gao Shilian was refreshed, and finally it was time to serve the main course.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side was also shocked, and his sitting posture was a little straight.

In fact, the two of them were very happy when they received the reply from the palace yesterday.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to summon them, this is a stroke of the horoscope!

Of course, the two of them were not overly happy. It was one thing for the emperor to be willing to see him, but another for how they behaved.

In the eyes of Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji, this is no less than an exam.

Whether it is soaring into the sky, or the dog meat buns are not on the table, it all depends on today's prelude!
"Return to Your Majesty, I have a book to play." Gao Shilian carefully took out a yellow silk-covered memorial from his pocket.

"It's up to you."

Li Gan became more and more curious. If there were any memorials that he could not submit to the Secretary of General Administration, wouldn't he know how to read them? ?
Well, he really can't read...

Wei Zhongxian went down to fetch the memorial for Li Gan, and Li Gan took it curiously and opened it.

The title of the memorial is very interesting, and it is called "Government Accumulation and Disadvantages".

The memorial papers were folded together one by one. After Li Gan opened it, he suddenly felt his head was as big as a bucket.

It is full of teeny lowercase letters, and the writing is very regular, and it can be seen that the author is very careful.

But Li Gan felt his scalp tingling.

This thing is written vertically, from right to left, in traditional Chinese characters, without punctuation marks...

Since Li Qian usually only reads books with paintings, letting him read them is no less than punishment.

This is also one of the reasons why he was reluctant to read those memorials before.

But glancing at Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji below, Li Qian could vaguely feel the dignified and apprehensive aura of the two of them.

'Alas~'

Li Gan sighed in his heart, this was another time he felt that it was not easy to be an emperor.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet and read it.

"Gao Shilian, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, would like to report the evils accumulated for the country..."

After getting used to this special typesetting method for a while, Li Qian was gradually able to endure reading.

"I heard that the way to be an official is to control the people and the way to be a minister is to deal with the monarch, but the minister observes the affairs of the country..."

In the memorial, Gao Shilian expounded and summarized the current situation of the corruption of the government. There are three most deadly points: one is that corruption in the officialdom is rampant;

Many people may be able to see these three problems, but Gao Shilian was able to speak out in this memorial. I have to say that it takes a lot of courage.

Li Qian glanced down, and from the lines in this memorial, he could also read Gao Shilian's earnestness and sincerity when writing this memorial...

If you look at it this way, is he not deeply involved with Li Yuan, or not involved at all?

Li Gan gently stroked the yellow silk cover of the memorial, seemingly still reading the memorial, but actually lost in thought.

In terms of love, from this memorial, one can feel Gao Shilian's hard heart.

Yu Li, Gao Shilian and the others should know that his eldest grandson Wugou is now his favorite concubine.

If the eldest grandson Wugou becomes the empress, these few people must be rich and prosperous.

But what can they gain by following Li Yuan?

Li Yuan, a member of the general system, couldn't give Gao Shilian too much at all.

Even if Li Yuan could one day be honored and kill him, Li Gan, and become the emperor of this great cadre, what could he give Gao Shilian, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment?

Is it better than now?

Therefore, from the perspective of interests, Gao Shilian will not collude with Li Yuan.

He came here today with this memorial, probably to express his heart.

Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out that Gao Shilian is a stubborn person who insists on following Li Yuan, but the possibility is so small that it is almost impossible... Before there is no conclusive evidence, Li Qian will ignore it.

Having roughly confirmed Gao Shilian's position, Li Qian also had a general idea of ​​how to deal with him.

He sighed softly: "The words in Gao Qing's family memorabilia really entered my heart."

Seeing Li Qian's attitude, Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji who were waiting below were delighted.

What they were afraid of was that the emperor would not take this memorial seriously, and all preparations would be in vain.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen.

Li Qian put down the memorial, looked at the two people below with burning eyes, and then asked: "Since Gao Qing's family can point out these three problems for me, can they find a solution for me?"

Gao Shilian's mood also gradually calmed down, and he stood up again to report: "Your Majesty, I believe that these three evils need to be solved in three ways."

The following words are already memorized at home.

"Official malpractices need to be supervised by righteous ministers, and rotten beetles must be driven away with righteousness... The rebellious officials of the vassal states need to be thinned out with weapons, and the arrogant and barbaric way must be quelled with swords... The annexation of the common people needs to be restrained with laws. Pride the hearts of the people with strict laws..."

Li Gan kept nodding his head, but he sighed softly in his heart.

The method Gao Shilian said seems reasonable, but his eyes are still limited by the stereotype of the times.

These three ills can be serious or mild, some have solutions, and some have no solutions.

Needless to say, the first one is corruption in the officialdom. Li Qian feels that this is the most serious problem and the most unsolvable.

Officialdom and corruption are two accompanying products. Where there are officials, there will definitely be corruption. It is impossible to eliminate one of them alone.Unless Li Gan brainwashes all officials, or uses robots to serve as officials.

Besides, in order to reduce corruption, we also have to think about the system and fundamentally, instead of using some official ministers as Gao Shilian said.

How do you know that righteousness can drive away rot beetles?What if it was corrupted in turn?
Not everyone is Wei Zheng.

The second article is that the vassal states are not convinced by the court, which is the lightest problem in Li Gan's view.

Because this problem can be seen and touched, if the princes and states are gone, the problem will disappear.

Of course, Li Gan was quite surprised that Gao Shilian proposed to quell the war with military conquest.

After all, civil servants instinctively reject military affairs. Li Gan had seen Gao Shilian's sour taste before, and thought he was going to say something to make the princes bow their heads with etiquette.

It seems that this old man is not completely useless!
The third piece of land annexation is related to the social system, which in Li Gan's view is a middle-level issue.

Of course, the first gear is also relatively speaking.

In Li Qian's view, it is much more difficult to put an end to land annexation than to rebuild a Daqian dynasty. Fortunately, he is now a powerless emperor, so there is no need to be so indifferent.

What he has to think about is how to make this emperor more comfortable and how to be a little longer.

As for Gao Shilian's legal constraints... Li Qian didn't hold out much hope.

You must know that the officials of the imperial court are the most ruthless group of people who annexed the land. It is a fool's dream to want them to implement laws and punish themselves.

Even if we take [-] steps back, if this law can really be introduced, it will not solve the problem.

This is not a matter of punishment or non-punishment. No matter how severe the punishment is, it still needs to be enforced.

As long as someone implements it, someone can take advantage of it.

In fact, many feudal dynasties in the previous life died because of this, and land annexation is definitely not something that can be restrained by laws...
