Chapter 434: Kill First, Then Reform!
"All Aiqing, these twenty-two officials are officials who colluded with the traitor Simon Wentian, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, damn it!"
Ximen Hao's words were full of evil spirits.
The reason why he came up to try these officials was to deter the hundred officials, so that the orders below could be carried out smoothly.
"My Emperor Shengming!"
The hundred officials responded in unison, the word 'anti-thief' is very sensitive now, so they instantly drew a clear line with these officials.
"Shengming?"
The corners of Ximenhao's mouth curled slightly, looked at the twenty-two prisoners below, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say, how should these twenty-two criminals who colluded with thieves be dealt with?"
"Your Majesty! These people are taking advantage of the imperial court, but they collude with the thieves, and their crimes should be punished!"
Di Hu came out of the ranks, this tiger, after resting for two nights, his injuries were cured.
"Your Majesty! Marshal Di is reasonable! Collusion with thieves deserves to be punished!"
Another officer came out of the ranks.
"Ahem, cough, Your Majesty, according to the law, anyone who rebels will be punished by the nine clans below the earl, and three clans by the earl or above!"
Ji Wu, who was dressed in cloth, came out of the ranks, and his words instantly quieted down the hundred officials.
Twenty-two people, fifteen of them are titles below the earl, and the nine clans, how many people!
"Your Majesty is gracious! It's a criminal who is confused! Let my people go!"
"Your Majesty, please spare our people!"
Twenty-two people kowtowed again and again, and blood marks appeared on the ground of Qingyang Palace.
Ximen Hao looked down expressionlessly, and only then did he slowly say until the prisoners stopped kowtowing:
"A rebellion, countless dead and wounded soldiers, and even the common people have suffered, hateful! And you, as officials of my Qingguo, colluding with thieves, are even more hateful! Come on! Behead in front of the Qingyang Palace to show the public!"
"Yes!"
Liu Sheng took the brocade guards and escorted the twenty-two people to the outside of the Qingyang Palace.
Then the knife fell, and twenty-two heads rolled down in the Qingyang Palace, and suddenly a thick smell of blood wafted in.
Some officials had never seen such a scene and couldn't help but cover their mouths and want to vomit.
"Your Majesty! All twenty-two thieves have been executed!"
Liu Sheng walked in murderously.
"Okay! Liu Sheng listens to the order!"
Ximen Hao stood up directly.
"Brush!"
Liu Sheng knelt on the Qingyang Palace.
"Boom!"
Ximen Hao pulled out the Sword of the Son of Heaven, and the golden light flashed with a cold air.
Slowly glanced at the civil and military officials, and then said:
"I order you to lead the Jinyi Guard, with a thousand forbidden troops, to arrest all the anti-thief clans! Nine clans below the earl! Three clans above the earl!The direct descendants of the culprit...... Kill! Collateral descendants...... The men are sent to the army, and the women are sent to the Sect Division!"
"Minister, obey the holy order!"
Liu Sheng received the order, and then got up and was about to walk out.
The Qingyang Hall was quiet and terrifying, and all the officials were trembling, as if they had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Boom!"
Ximen Hao stuck the Son of Heaven Sword at his feet, and then slowly sat back.
The smell of blood wafting in Qingyang Palace, coupled with the bright sword of the Son of Heaven, made everyone's hearts feel cold.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing has been done, then I will issue the second order. I know that some people are waiting for my reward, but only when the second thing is done can I be rewarded for meritorious deeds and become an official!
"The minister is here!"
Zhuge Qing is also dressed in cloth.
All the officials looked at Zhuge Qing at the same time, first a Ji Wuxi, and now a Zhuge Qing, all of whom are His Majesty's newcomers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have drawn up a new system, and now Zhuge Qing has announced it, and then I am rewarding it. After listening, if anyone has any opinions, they can put them forward. ”
As he spoke, Ximen Hao scraped the blade of the Son of Heaven Sword with his hand, and the threat was obvious.
Which of the civil and military officials dared to speak? At the same time, he was curious about what kind of system this new emperor would formulate.
"Zhuge Qing, announce it. ”
After Ximen Hao finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Minister, obey. ”
Zhuge Qing saluted, then took out a thick piece of music from his sleeve, and then opened it little by little, and read it out:
"1. Abolish the system of 100 officials going to the court! The Qingyang Hall will be changed to the Senate, and the Senate will hold a meeting every seven days! The ministers in charge of various departments can come and hold a meeting every seven days. ”
"2. In addition to the original departments, the Senate shall add: the Inspection Department, the Ministry of Education, the General Staff of Military Divisions, etc...... Details will be available in the future. ”
"3. The working days of all departments shall be changed to a seven-day system, and the work shall be carried out for five days every seven days, and the work shall be carried out at the Imperial Palace! ”
"4. This system involves eight counties and sixty-four cities, and each county has one county warden, two deputy county guards, and three people supervise each other! The following officials are under the responsibility of each ministry. Each city has one city lord and two deputy city lords at the same time, and the system is the same!"
"Fifth, hold a scientific examination system to select young talents from all over the country to join the ministries. Abolish the inheritance system of hereditary officials, abolish the system of meritocracy in the family, and if you want to serve Qingguo, the results of the scientific examination shall prevail!
"Six ......"
The more Zhuge Qing spoke, the louder the voice became, and the sound not only spread throughout the Qingyang Palace, but even spread far outside the hall.
And the civil and military officials below listened to it with bewildered faces, but there were monstrous waves in their hearts!
They are not fools, although they still do not understand the main purpose of the emperor's reform, but they all know that the future will not be easy!
Zhuge Qing was still announcing that there were more than twenty in total, and the folds had been coiled on the ground, and they had been recited for seven or eight meters!
"28. The above systems are all carefully considered by Your Majesty, and after they are implemented, Qingguo will be extremely powerful! ”
After saying that, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bent down and put it away, then bowed to Ximen Hao, and retreated.
Quiet, deathly quiet, all but the four people involved were in a state of flux.
Opinion? Who dares to mention it? The twenty-two corpses outside are still hot!
As for resistance, it is even more impossible! Ximen Hao is now stationed outside the city with more than 300,000 troops stationed outside the four city gates, who would dare?
Of course, if the other party's system is a disaster for the country and the people, it will be fine.
However, the right system is simply beneficial to the country and the people, and has improved the work efficiency of the central organs of Qingguo several times!
"What, don't you Aiqing have anything to mention?"
Ximen Hao asked in a loud voice with the sword of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, the minister has doubts!"
An old minister came out.
"Oh? It turned out to be Tobe Shangshu, what doubts do you have?"
Ximen Hao looked at the old minister and asked.
The others also looked at Hubu Shangshu, for fear that the other party would say something rebellious and be split by Ximen Hao's sword.
"Your Majesty, the seven-day work system you mentioned, come to the palace every seven days to deal with affairs for five days, and come to the Qingyang Palace for a meeting every seven days, is such a system implemented in the entire Qingguo?"
After Hubu Shangshu asked, he stood aside with his hands hanging and waited for Ximen Hao to answer.
