back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 402 Rectifying Officials
When Lu Chengqi asked such a question, all the civil and military officials in the Daqing Palace fell silent, and each of them lowered their heads, as if they had money on the ground.In fact, how could they not know about the desecration of subordinate officials?It's just that this is an unspoken rule in the officialdom, which has not been explained so far.

Who would have expected that Li Ran, a stubborn old man, actually told the little emperor about the unspoken rules. Isn't this embarrassing himself!Which yamen does not have subordinate officials? These officials and lords have nothing to do on weekdays, and they are only responsible for the final review.As for the heavy work, these subordinate staff are all doing it.Chang'an City is the capital of Dashun, and the administration of officials is fairly clear.And the farther away from Chang'an City, the more filthy officials there will be.The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it couldn't be more appropriate to use it here.

Lu Chengqi said with a smirk: "Why, are you all dumb? You know me well, and you can't tolerate sand in your eyes. If this dirty official deceives you like this and causes public resentment, how can I forgive you lightly? ? Where is the Supervision Department?"

Xu Jingchun was pricking up his ears to listen, when he was called suddenly, he couldn't react for a while.After a while, I realized that I was calling myself, and said quickly: "The minister... the minister is here!"

Lu Chengqi was a little amused, and said: "Xu Qing, tell me, is this true?"

The Supervision Department's spies are all over the territory of Dashun. Is there anything that the Supervision Department doesn't know about?Such matters have long been handed over to the supervisory department's desk.It's just that the involvement is too big, and the supervision department Yecheng Lequan suggested that this should be done slowly in advance.He made sense: "The Supervision Department is His Majesty's eyes and ears. We make our own decisions. If you offend His Majesty, can you and I afford it? Besides, there are at least hundreds of officials involved in this matter. Offending so many people at the same time, even His Majesty, it is difficult to make a decision. If we raise it rashly, wouldn't we be putting ourselves in danger?"

After Xu Jingchun heard this, he dismissed the idea.In less than two months, Li Ran raised the issue.Just now Xu Jingchun also secretly admired this hard-headed person, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the mountains.This kind of courage is beyond the reach of any official who claims to be an upright official.

Hearing the little emperor asking for his opinion, Xu Jingchun hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. It's just that since Your Majesty has rectified the officialdom, there are not too many cases of this kind. I think, Your Majesty has a lot of time to deal with, so don't bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters." It's..."

When Lu Chengqi heard this, he immediately lowered his face and scolded: "What is a trivial matter? Is it a trivial matter that concerns the common people? You are all important officials of the court. Let me remember that people's livelihood is no small matter! From now on, if you give me If I know who can make things difficult for the common people, I will make trouble for them! Xu Qing, do you understand?"

Xu Jingchun was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees and pleaded guilty.Seeing him lying on the ground like a dog, all civil and military officials finally figured out some resentment in their chests.It's just that only some people understand that this is the little emperor's method, it is clearly Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer!

Lu Chengqi took advantage of this incident to build his prestige, even Xu Jingchun, who he single-handedly supported, showed no mercy.This made the upright officials understand in their hearts that this little emperor is really here, and he is really doing things for the people.Since Emperor Wenzong, who is so concerned about people's livelihood, who has really achieved it?Is it possible that Dashun Zhongxing is really going to be realized in the hands of this little emperor who is not as weak as the crown!

Seeing that all the officials were silent, Lu Chengqi knew that his words had worked.Seeing that Xu Jingchun was still lying on the ground, he felt a little upset, and said, "Get up and talk, tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Jingchun got the little emperor's Jinkou absolution, and quickly got up, holding the court wat and said honestly: "Your Majesty, two months ago, the Jizhou Supervision Department sent a secret report. The case of forging land deeds and forcibly occupying people's land. I thought, this matter is not big, but it is not small. If someone makes a false accusation, and I rashly report to Your Majesty, but find out that it is an oolong case, isn't it embarrassing to Your Majesty! Xingye dispatched inspectors to investigate secretly. However, there are many water networks on Jiangnan West Road, and it is more than 3000 miles away from Chang'an. It will take some time to get down by boat. Adding to the investigation, it will take time No, two months have passed, and the inspector returned to Beijing yesterday to submit the evidence. I originally planned to report to His Majesty after the official court. But unexpectedly, Li Zhongcheng spoke out beforehand. I have neglected my duty, please Your Majesty. Punishment!"

Apart from Xu Jingchun, Lu Chengqi didn't know much about the Supervision Department.But there are also spies loyal to Lu Chengqi in the Supervision Department, who are responsible for recording illegal things in the Supervision Department. It is expected that Xu Jingchun will not lie.

After hearing Xu Jingchun's remarks, Lu Chengqi was noncommittal, but said: "Since the evidence is convincing, what can you do? I have also heard that some subordinate officials are really hateful, not to mention bullying the market, and now they even do things like occupying people's fields Come out, this is more hateful than local hooligans! It seems that this subordinate needs to be rectified..."

He does not mean that.The crackdown on corrupt officials last year is especially bloody when recalled by civil and military officials.Overnight, no matter the important officials or the sesame officials, they were all sent to prison.After autumn, more than 200 people were killed.The bloody scene made these officials who had survived the catastrophe still terrified.Now that the murder is about to happen again, how can they not be frightened?

As soon as Lu Chengqi's words fell, Yun Feng, the doctor Zuo Jianyi, came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter should not be rushed!"

"Oh, could it be that Yun Qing has a countermeasure? Come on, let me hear it!" Lu Chengqi knew a long time ago that Yun Feng, the Zuo admonishment doctor, had a criminal record.Earlier, Wu Xianzhi's report had his name on the list.It's just that he saw the opportunity quickly and donated all his family property.Seeing that he pleaded guilty with a good attitude, Lu Chengqi did not pursue the matter.Yunfeng's ability to handle affairs is still there, so let's just wait and see.

Seeing him come out today, Lu Chengqi thought that he had changed his past, but what he said next was far beyond Lu Chengqi's expectations: "Your Majesty, the system of subordinate officials was established by the Taizu, and it must not be taken lightly. Shaken! Your Majesty knows that there are more than ten million subordinates in the world? If they don't do their work, my Dashun organization will be paralyzed! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, this was something he hadn't expected.Although Yun Feng didn't know what kind of mentality he had in order to say these words.But the truth is clear, Dashun's bureaucracy is composed of the imperial court - local officials - subordinate staff.Most of the chores are done by subordinate staff.As for the local officials, they only need to write the memorial, and they will have the achievements of the official department's assessment, so that their official career will be unimpeded.In this way, the local officials and the subordinate officials reached a tacit agreement and did not interfere with each other, which fueled the arrogance of the subordinate officials.After nearly a hundred years of malpractice, local officials basically have no ability to handle government affairs, relying entirely on local subordinates to support local government affairs.If these subordinate staff "strike", Dashun's government will definitely be paralyzed.

"It seems that brute force is not enough, we have to find a way..." Lu Chengqi pondered in his mind, but what method can be used to govern the government?Lu Chengqi didn't have a clue for a while...
