Shrew Tames Husband

A few people in the distance ran over: "my Lord, what's the matter?"

"Find a few people to do that smelly girl of Yi Lan." The magistrate was so angry that he was fooled by a smelly girl.

"Yes

Yi Lan quickly informs Qing Chen that it is the will of the Empress Dowager. And send the official errand of the document, the person of the Golden Eagle hall didn't kill, just shut it up, the document is also sent to the hand of Qing Chen.

Qingchen didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would run Luofeng mountain villa. Is it because of the financial constraints of the court that they are flourishing in Luofeng mountain villa, or is it because the Empress Dowager has found that the group of people are gathered in Luofeng mountain villa?

Chen Feng came back: "young master, Prince Tu of Hao country and mengche of XueGuo country have two ways. I talked with Prince Tu for a period of time. He didn't do anything except to inquire about Xia. And the people of the golden wolf hall follow mengche, and the result is the same. They are just asking about Xia Guo, and there is nothing else. "

"Well! Didn't they say that Jiangzhou would converge? Leave them alone. You take the official waist token and give it to the Empress Dowager to see what she says. See why she has seized all the shops in Yishui. " Qing Chen hands the waist token and the document to Chen Feng.

"Yes Chen Feng took the document and left.

Now we are waiting for the people to be disappointed with the emperor. He seems to be adding fuel. Jin HUTANG attacked for ten days and assassinated six ministers in the court, including the Minister of the Ministry of household and a doctor; The right servant of the Ministry of punishment and two middle officials.

After the examination, all people died in the form of suicide. After death, they all left a letter of guilt and presented their bad deeds one by one.

This made the court officials panic. There are a lot of discussions among the people. I didn't expect that these officials usually looked like they were both clear-cut and clear-cut. They didn't want to do such bad things behind their backs. The people also have doubts about the court officials.

The emperor looked at the mountain of memorials and looked sad. What should he do?

Zhang Huai handed the emperor a cup of tea: "emperor, use tea first."

"I don't want to drink tea! In ten days, six officials committed suicide. It's not easy to explain to the people, not to mention who took up these posts! Three officials of the third grade! How can the people talk about their crimes? What officials did the court choose? " Situ chuzhao had a headache when he thought of it.

"Please forgive me. I have an idea. I don't know if I should say it or not." Zhang Huai has a flattering smile on her face.

"He said What situ chuzhao needs most now is an idea.

Zhang Huai lowered his voice: "the first thing to do is to push people out to bear all this."

"You mean to let the Minister of the Ministry of official take the responsibility?" There was a flash of light in the emperor's heart.

Zhang Huai smile: "the emperor is wise."

The emperor could not help frowning: "Liu Shangshu is one of the four assistant ministers, and he made no mistakes. If I should punish him, my mother would not agree. "

"Emperor, the only way to do this is to abandon the car and protect the commander. Except for Liu Shangshu, it makes people all over the world not disappointed in the court."

"That's right. However, besides Liu Shangshu, who else in the court has such ability? I can take up his duties. " The emperor has a headache.

Zhang Huai looked like he wanted to talk and stop: "I have a proposal, but..."

"Just what? I beg your pardon, but it's OK to say so. "

"The emperor, the civil and military officials of the court still have doubts about the emperor. They all take the four assistant ministers as their leaders. The emperor has no heart of his own. In the long run, the imperial power will fall away sooner or later." Zhang Huai is very serious.

He really didn't want to be the emperor if he could, but his mother said that he would die if he wasn't the emperor, and he couldn't let the family of situ fall into the hands of others.

"What shall we do?" Asked situ chuzhao.

"Cultivate your heart. At the last palace examination, people like fan Wan, Shen bin and Cai Liang were very talented. They were ordered by the emperor, and they can be called the students of the emperor. He will support the emperor. These vacancies can be filled by them. Then we will select a few corrupt officials from the local government to make up for the rest. "

"Why pick a few corrupt officials?" The emperor was puzzled.

"Using corrupt officials is to fight against them. If the emperor wants them to work for him, he must give others benefits. If the emperor can't give them money, then give them the right to use his power to search for people's fat and cream. Won't he be benefited? " Zhang Huai smiles.

"Corrupt officials have benefited from the power I have given them. What benefits will they bring to me?" Situ chuzhao didn't understand, but he felt that there must be a reason why Duke Zhang said so.

"Because he can get benefits because of the power given by the emperor, so in order to keep his own benefits, he must maintain the power of the emperor. Then, the emperor's rule is not firm. So many people want to be emperors. If there are no corrupt officials to maintain the emperor's power, how can the emperor consolidate his rule? "

Situ chuzhao gradually understood that there was some truth in it, but he didn't understand: "since you used corrupt officials, why should you fight back?"

"That's the essence of power. If we want to use corrupt officials, we must fight against them. Only in this way can we deceive the people and consolidate the political power. " Zhang Huai gave a mysterious smile.

Situ chuzhao was immediately attracted by his theory and asked, "tell me more about it."

"There are two advantages: first, there are no corrupt officials in the world? Officials are not afraid of corruption. They are afraid not to listen to the emperor. In the name of anti-corruption officials, eliminate those who don't listen to the emperor's words, and keep those who listen to you. This can not only eliminate dissidents and consolidate the emperor's power, but also gain the support of the people for the emperor.

Second, as long as the officials are greedy for ink, his handle is in the hands of the emperor. He dared to betray the emperor, and the emperor killed him on the pretext of greedy ink. Corrupt officials are afraid that the emperor will destroy him, so they have to listen to you.

Therefore, "anti corrupt officials" is a magic weapon used by the emperor to control corrupt officials. If you don't use corrupt officials, the emperor will lose the magic weapon of "anti-corruption officials". How can the emperor control the officials? If everyone is honest and upright, won the support of the people, he is not obedient, the emperor has no excuse to get rid of him; Even if it is removed, it will lead to public unrest. Therefore, only by using corrupt officials can the emperor clean up the bureaucratic ranks and make them all support the emperor. "

Situ chuzhao laughed: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect that you are more thoughtful than me. But have you ever thought that using corrupt officials will provoke people's resentment. The people first. "

"Emperor, please let me know. There will be no complaints from the people. He raised the banner of anti-corruption and increased publicity, which proved that the Emperor cared for the people. Let the people think that the emperor is good, but it is the officials who are bad. Put the responsibility on these officials. Never let the people think that the emperor is the culprit in appointing corrupt officials. The emperor must make the people think that the emperor is good. There are so many problems in society. It's not that the emperor doesn't want to do well, but that the officials below don't implement the emperor's policies well. "

"What about some officials who have too much complaint?" Situ chuzhao asked again.

"Kill him and avenge the people! Put the people's money he has collected into the national treasury. In this way, the emperor can live up to the name of plundering people's wealth and get the benefit of plundering people's wealth. In short, we should cultivate close friends with corrupt officials, eliminate dissidents with corrupt officials, kill corrupt officials to buy people's hearts, and not enrich the national treasury with greedy money. " With that, father-in-law Zhang had a flattering smile on his face.

After hearing this, situ chuzhao was immediately happy: "Mr. Zhang, you are so talented. It's a pity that he is a eunuch, otherwise I will make you a senior official. "

"Thank the emperor. I'll be very happy if I can share the emperor's worries."

"No. You have to be an official. What's a good seal? " Situ chuzhao thought for a while, then raised his eyes, "if you have it, you will be the eunuch of Si Li Jian."

What kind of official is this? They manage a lot, but the biggest power is that the documents processed by the four assistant ministers should be sent to the emperor for confirmation. They have to look at them first and then send them to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't want to see them, he can sign and seal them on behalf of the Emperor.

Zhang huaipo knelt down on the ground: "thank you, Emperor."

"Get up!" The smile on the emperor's face, why didn't you find that father-in-law Zhang had this ability before? Look, pay more attention to him.

The emperor immediately ordered Liu Huaqing, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, to be sent to the prison. Then he transferred tanhuafan Wan, who was the former Shaoqing of Taichang temple, to the Ministry of punishment as the right servant. Shen bin and Cai Liang, who were still studying in the Hanlin academy, were transferred to the Ministry of household affairs as the left and right servants, and three people were promoted from the place. Moreover, the emperor appointed and dismissed several officials in the name of thorough investigation of officials.

Although everyone was surprised by the appointment, Prime Minister Cai supported it. There was no further objection. When Liu Huaqing was put into prison, some people were happy and others were sad.

After all this, the emperor suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The memorials that must be read by him can also be handed over to Zhang Huai. After Zhang Huai has dealt with them, he will have a look at them and they will be finished.

It seems that she has never been so relaxed. She is preparing to go to Baiyan palace, but Huang Zhiqian asks to see her. Situ chuzhao didn't go to Yilan palace for a while. Seeing Huang Zhiqian, he suddenly felt guilty and gave up the idea of going to Baiyan palace.

Busy up, a face of gentle Huang Zhiqian from the ground to help up: "Zhiqian, not said, only you and I two people in, don't so much ceremony."

"Thank you, Emperor." Huang Zhiqian got up from the ground with tears in her eyes.

Situ chuzhao's eyes fell on Huang Zhiqian's face and found that she had just cried: "what's the matter? Zhiqian, why did you cry? Who bullied you? "

Huang Zhiqian tried to squeeze out a smile: "emperor, my concubine is very good, no one bullies my concubine."

"What's the matter with you? Do you feel well? Or do you miss me too much? I want to cry? " Situ chuzhao is joking.

Huang Zhiqian said with a smile, "the emperor hasn't been to see my concubine for a long time. Of course I miss the emperor."

"If you want me to come to Yangxin hall, I will allow you to enter Yangxin hall freely from today on, OK?" Situ chuzhao makes a promise to Huang Zhiqian.

"Thank you, my concubine." Huang Zhiqian was busy again and bowed to salute. A little hesitation flashed in her eyes.

"All right, all right. Don't cry any more. It's all due to the busy political affairs that I have no time to take care of you. Today I will do nothing but accompany you, OK Situ chuzhao coaxes Huang Zhiqian.
