I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 257 Resolution passed
This time, no matter if it was Gu Zuo and other imperial envoys, even other officials also followed suit.

Not being transferred again means that as long as you enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you will never be able to get out again.

As we all know, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a Qingshui yamen, and everything they do is offending personnel.

The emperor may not give rewards for meritorious service, but when major events happen in the court, the emperor is often the first to be punished.

Such a yamen that grandma doesn't care about and uncle doesn't love, who are willing to take the initiative to join, and those who rush in are basically with the purpose of being gilded and then sent abroad.

But at this time, Li Tian's words were completely blocked. It is conceivable how these censors will react to their advancement.

On the contrary, Gu Zuo quickly calmed down. After all, his nature is like this, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also the yamen he has always wanted to enter. It doesn't really matter to him whether he will leave in the future.

But Jin Youde is different. A month ago, he was still the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. Although the lucrative water is not as big as that of the Ministry of Households, he is still one of the good positions where he can make money.

During this period of time as inspector censor, his income has decreased a lot, which has already made his boss unhappy. How can he be willing to be framed in this position forever at this time.

So he hurriedly winked at the people under him.

A young imperial envoy who flattered him very much stood up and cupped his hands and said to Li Tian,
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this move? In this way, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has become a maverick office. Those who are willing to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future may..."

Li Tian had long thought that someone would have such a question, and he had already prepared his words.

Facing the ministers, Li Tianlang said,

"Corruption in the world has been repeatedly banned and never stopped. I am here to ask you, are all the officials in the world so short of money? Is there no way for them to survive except for corruption!"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and no one dared to speak out at this moment.

Li Tian continued,

"I think that most corrupt officials are simply greedy for the sake of greed. As the name suggests, the reason why they become officials is to get rich.

The so-called being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and it is this kind of person. "

What he said was cruel and spicy enough.

Since ancient times, there is no emperor who does not understand this truth, but Li Tian was the first to say this in front of his officials.

It is conceivable how shocked they will be.

"Of course, I won't say that everyone is like this, but it is undeniable that such people must exist in the imperial court."

"In the Ministry of Industry, in the Ministry of Officials, even in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and my inner court, such people must exist!"

"And as a supervisory official, whether there is also a Metropolitan Procuratorate that cleans up morals, Lu Zhen's example is right in front of us, so I don't need to say more!"

"However, those in charge of supervision are inevitably corrupt. Let me ask, who else do I dare to trust?"

Having said that, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and he stabbed straight at the six ministers standing in the front row.

"All of you tell me, who dares to use their heads to promise me that there will never be corrupt people in the yamen that you are responsible for under your subordinates."

"One counts as one. If you dare to promise, I will order a thorough investigation! Whoever dares, stand up and speak out!"

Neither Xia Yuanji nor Qian Yi remained silent.

Who can guarantee this kind of thing, making a sound is a matter of death, unless they are crazy, otherwise, who dares to make a sound at this time.

One sentence completely shocked everyone.

Li Tian went on to say,
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate must first be clean, and the results of the investigation will win the trust of me, the officials, and the people of the world!"

"However, the imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they may be corrupted. To put an end to all this, the only way is to make the Metropolitan Procuratorate independent of all yamen!"

"I said so, but you understand!"

Seeing that no one was talking, Yang Shiqi, who had been prepared for a long time, stood up immediately and said loudly,

"Everything your majesty thinks is beneficial to the future, and the old minister supports your majesty!"

Li Tian nodded to them, then turned his attention to Xia Yuanji, Qian Yi, Wu Zhong and others.

"Weiji, Zhirong, Wu Shangshu, what do you think? Do you need the Metropolitan Procuratorate to clean up those moths for you?"

The three of them were named by Li Tian, ​​all kinds of small thoughts were thrown out of the clouds, and they hurriedly clasped their hands together,
"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans, and the ministers are far behind! After hearing what your majesty said, the ministers are suddenly enlightened. What insights can I have?"

Three of the six ministers have expressed their attitudes, and the cabinet has passed all of them. This resolution can be regarded as officially passed, and there is no possibility of it being retracted.

Li Tian glanced at everyone in the hall, and found that most of the people's faces were not normal, especially those who were clean of rumors, their faces were even paler.

Without him, the relationship between the officials of the DPRK and China is intricate. Even the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is independent from the six ministries, is the hardest hit area for these Qingliu people.

One of the ways Qingliu can control the government is to seek welfare for themselves through the memorials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This time, Li Tian can be said to have completely cut off their connection with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and immediately lost most of their right to speak in the court. Their faces are not very good, which is really normal.

Apart from them, the imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are working at this time have the worst expressions.

Most of them have a background of Qingliu Confucianism, and they came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate more out of interests and future considerations.

After all, he had the experience of serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the eyes of the emperor, he was always more trustworthy than ordinary officials.

It's just that this situation has completely changed since today.

He was only allowed to enter but not to exit, and died of old age in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for the rest of his life.

For those who wanted to be gilded, go through the motions, have backgrounds and ambitions, their future may be completely cut off. This kind of fatal blow, it is not bad for them not to be regarded as a collapse.

It was originally just a court meeting to discuss the candidates for the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but now it has turned into a day of silence for the entire court.

With the absence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate outside of the six ministries, the flow of personnel is bound to undergo a huge change, but no one can say clearly whether this change is good or bad.

Li Tian also ignored the whispers of the courtiers, not to mention the pleading expressions of the envoys.

Winking at Jiang Bao beside him, Jiang Bao immediately shouted at the top of his voice,

"Retreat!"

As soon as Li Tian left, the ministers scrambled to get together and discuss countermeasures with each other.

The noisy scene was even busier than the vegetable market.

Yang Shiqi and the others had a smile on their lips, and instead of getting involved, they followed Li Tian straight to the cabinet.
