The corruption of officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty has always been hated by the monarchs of all dynasties, and all dynasties have issued various decrees to punish officials for corruption. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info however, they have had little effect. When Tuoba Hong became the emperor, the wind of corruption was even better, and Tuoba Hong issued many edicts to crack down on corruption, and those who were corrupt over 100 stones died! Before this decree could be promulgated, it attracted the opposition of many ministers, who unanimously stated that if the emperor insisted on acting, there would be no more available people in the court.

Tuoba Hong knew that the corruption of courtiers was deep-rooted, and even the harshest laws and regulations could not eradicate corruption; On the contrary, if it is imposed, it will inevitably cause a lot of dissatisfaction, and the result will be counterproductive.

Tuoba Hong was at a time when he was worried, and Zhang Baize, the secretary of Zhan, suggested that "punish corrupt officials by rewarding clean officials instead of punishing corrupt officials" Officials at all levels should be rewarded at different levels according to their official style, political achievements, and people's reputation.

After the promulgation of this decree, although the courtiers also opposed it, it was much easier to implement it. After the promulgation of the decree, from top to bottom, there were officials who were found, and Tuoba Hong was ruthless and severely punished, and ordered the officials of all prefectures and counties, the places under their jurisdiction, those who were corrupt and accepted bribes, once they were found, could be cut down first, and there was no need to report to the imperial court, only the evidence and the cause of the case were reported to the imperial court.

After the death of Empress Li, Tuoba Hong had no time to take care of his eldest son, Little Tuoba Hong, who was raised by Feng Luoli himself. Tuoba Hong, who was only three years old, was smart and quick-witted, and often went to Taixue to listen to Gao Yun and other generations of erudite Confucians and capable ministers of governance, teaching the way of governing the country and a subset of classics and history. With those big round eyes, he always looked at the lecturer with curiosity, and from time to time he would ask Feng Luoli some strange questions, which made the students laugh. In martial arts, Xiao Tuoba Hong is even more talented, a pair of eyes are extremely accurate, when each student draws a bow and shoots an arrow, he only needs to look at it, he knows whether he can hit the target, whether he can shoot on the bull's-eye.

Some students do not believe in evil, blindfolded, everything is under the command of Xiao Tuoba Hong, whenever Xiao Tuoba Hong says to release arrows, repeatedly hit the bull's eye, and the arrows are not missing. Is Rao a battlefield legend, Murong Baiyao was also surprised.

In order to facilitate Xiao Tuoba Hong to learn the boring way of governing the country, Feng Luoli personally compiled the "Exhortation Song" and handed it over to Taifu Gaoyun for review and error, and asked the palace people to compile a song for Xiao Tuoba Hong, listening, reading and singing along, Xiao Tuoba Hong liked it very much, and the effect was quite good.

Because Wan Anguo, who was left out by the Lin family, acted cautiously and knew how to avoid his edge, he made full use of Tuoba Hong's love for him, and gradually restored the glory of staying by the emperor's side in the past. Although Tuoba Hong still has a problem with him, but Lin's words before his death also made him feel a little guilty, and then his disgust with Wan Anguo was not so heavy, especially after Tuoba Anle became the assassin of Sizhou, no one in the court said to him considerately, there was heavy pressure from courtiers outside, and Feng Luoli was indifferent to him inside, Wan Anguo was undoubtedly an outlet for his many boring emotions. Coupled with Wan Anguo's careful response and obedience everywhere, the relationship between the two gradually became closer.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers entered the palace early this morning, they heard a few eunuchs chewing their tongues, and I originally wanted to come forward to reprimand a few words, but I didn't want to hear something that shouldn't be heard......"

Tuoba Hong put down the Zhu Pi in his hand, turned his head to stare at Wan Anguo, there were temptations and questions in his eyes, and after a while, he lowered his head and folded, "What are those minions chewing on again?" Your ears are very bright."

Wan Anguo swallowed and foamed, only then Tuoba Hong looked at him and was startled, and when he saw Tuoba Hong continuing to watch the twists and turns, he slowly put his mind at ease and said slowly: "Those few minions said that these days, Li Yi, the superintendent of the guard, and Murong Baiyao, the king of our new Jinan, have not run to the Taihe Palace......"

"Isn't it normal for the two of them to assist in the expansion of Taixue and often go to the queen mother to report?" Tuoba Hong remained silent, and said in a light tone: "What's all the fuss about? ”

"The emperor is right! It was the minister who was abrupt...... "Wan Anguo didn't answer, but looked at the eunuch Li Jian who was waiting on the side, and gave Tuoba Hong some hot tea with his waist, and his sharp voice was like a sharp weapon cutting through the stone slab, especially harsh, "The emperor recognized Li'er, it's right!" According to the slave card, maybe Wan Shizi can't say if he hears it. ”

Tuoba Hong turned his head and glanced at Li Jian, put down the Zhu Pi in his hand again, and looked at the two of them who sang and harmonized, "Do you two want to sing a double reed?" If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! ”

Wan Anguo hurriedly walked to the book case and knelt down, "Weichen doesn't dare to make a mistake!" The minister did hear the servants say that Li Yi and Murong Baiyao of the Su Guard Prison were in and out of the Empress Dowager's palace these days, and often stayed until midnight before leaving! ”

Li Jian also knelt down with a thud, "The slave should be damned!" Although the slave had heard about it a long time ago, he only thought that it was an ordinary discussion about the expansion of Taixue, so he didn't report it to His Majesty for a while! Speaking of today's Shizi, the slave suddenly felt inappropriate! ”

"Bastard!" Tuoba Hong slapped his palm on the bookcase, stood up suddenly, and startled the two of them, "Nonsense!" The Queen Mother is the mother of the world, how can you slaves be allowed to make irresponsible remarks?! ”

"Weichen should be damned!" "Damn it! The emperor spares his life! ”

Tuoba Hong glanced coldly at the two kneeling people, said no more and walked out of the study in the apse of Yong'an. Wan Anguo and Li Jian's words seemed to stuff a handful of hair in Tuoba Hong's heart, and he panicked sullenly. Li Yi's talent is not unknown to him, the reason why it is not reused in him is only because he has a face that is somewhat similar to the first emperor, originally thought that it would be good to make him depressed, but he didn't expect it......

The distraught Tuoba Hong somehow walked to the only way to the Taihe Palace, looking at the Taihe Hall not far away, Tuoba Hong clenched his fist and prepared to turn around and leave.

I didn't want to be at this time, Li Yi walked out of the Taihe Palace, like a flame that ignited the suspicion in Tuoba Hong's chest, and couldn't help but stand in place with a blue face.

"Wechen see Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Li Yi walked quickly in front of Tuoba Hong and bowed down.

Tuoba Hong looked at Li Yi with unkind eyes, calmly and unhurriedly, with a thorough manner, without the slightest hint of sincerity and fear, could it be that with the grace of the Queen Mother, he could not take him as the emperor in his eyes?

"The Taihe Hall is the Queen Mother's dormitory, how can you come and go so freely?"

Li Yi, who was reprimanded and confused, was a little confused, since he supervised the construction of Taixue, if it wasn't for a reason, it had become a routine to report the fortification to Feng Luoli once on the fifth day, and it was also approved by the emperor, how could it be a random entry and exit?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to supervise the expansion of Taixue, today is the day of the Ming construction period, and he has not entered and exited the palace at will!" As a literati, Li Yi was inevitably a little arrogant, reprimanded by the emperor, and should have apologized, but he didn't want him to fall back softly.

At the moment, Li Yi's arrogance, coupled with the words of Wan Anguo and Li Jian, Tuoba Hong only felt that his respect had been greatly provoked, snorted coldly, turned around, and strode away.

When Tuoba Hong returned to the study, Wan Anguo and Li Jian were still kneeling, and they walked to the bookcase and sat down without speaking......

"Bastard!" Tuoba Hong punched the bookcase, and Zhu Pi was shocked and shocked.

"Wechen is guilty!" "Damn it!"

Tuoba Hong's eyes became cold when he looked at Wan Anguo and Li Jian, and he was so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, and after a long time, Tuoba Hong slowly spoke, "Since Li Shunshi, the Li family has been an official in the court for decades!" Shangshu Li Fu inherited the mantle of Li Shun, and most of the courtiers praised him. There is also his younger brother Li Yi, who is rich and has five cars, but he only got a small position as a guard supervisor, and Li Fu also complains about me in his heart! ”

How could shrewd people like Wan Anguo and Li Jian not know what Tuoba Hong meant, and looked at each other and listened to Tuoba Hong's words.

"Do you have any good ideas" Takubahiro raised his eyes, and a slightly cold gaze swept over the two of them.

What Tuoba Hong meant, Wan Anguo and Li Jian both knew that they were going to attack Li Yi's family, so it was naturally a good time for them to make a name for themselves. Wan Anguo got up, cautiously walked in front of Tuoba Hong, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this morning there is a report in Xiangzhou, assassinating Shi Li Xun to accept the people's wealth and Shanghu treasures, and the people are sued, and he should be executed. ”

"Oh?" Hiroshi Tuoba is undeniable.

The eunuch Li Jian covered his mouth and snickered, Tuoba Hong threw a tea cup over, and the tea sprinkled Li Jian's body, "Your Majesty is angry!" It's a pity to use this precious tea to splash minions! Li Jian didn't change his smile, hurriedly changed a tea cup, poured the tea again and handed it to Tuoba Hong, "Your Majesty!" You think! This person who grew up together, who has a few catties and a few taels is not a door, and now this Li Xun! It's a weapon from God! No matter how arrogant his Li brothers are, they can't escape such ironclad evidence! ”

Tuoba Hong nodded, and then looked at Wan Anguo, "This matter will be handled by you, I only need the result!" ”

Wan Anguo nodded and took the order, "Weichen obeys!" ”

Li Xun, the assassin of Xiangzhou, originally thought that Li Fu was blocking Xiang'an, and he didn't want to be escorted to Pingcheng by an edict soon after, and tortured to confess. When he arrived in Pingcheng, Li Xun was imprisoned in Pingcheng Yousi Prison, and no one cared about him for several days.

Li Xun wanted to ask, but the jailer impatiently pushed back, and the more uncertain this was, the more unsettling it became.

After all, someone came, Wan Anguo sat on the square bench outside the prison in court clothes, and ordered someone to take Li Xun out with a cold expression. The jailer quickly took Li Xun out and tied him to the interrogation pillar.

"Are you Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Li Xun?" Wan Anguo glanced at Li Xun and asked lightly.

Li Xun nodded, "Xiaguan is exactly!" ”

"What is the relationship between Shangshu Li Fu and you?" Wan Anguo seemed to be mentioning it very casually, and it didn't look like he was interrogating a guilty official at all.

Li Xun secretly observed Wan Anguo, and saw that the court clothes looked like the royal family, but it was not the kind of royal family exclusive to the imperial family, thinking that it should be a royal relative or something like that, and now at this person's age, he is a relative and a royal relative, and it should be Wan Anguo, the son of Feng Xugong.

"Xiaguan and Li Fu are old friends in the world! I don't know ......" Li Xun couldn't help but play twelve points of mental response, although he had never seen Wan Anguo, but in terms of appearance, there must be no doubt that he was the son of the world, he was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and it was rumored that the Queen Mother had thrown him into the prison several times, and His Majesty had rescued him as a guarantee. The weight of this person in front of the emperor is naturally self-evident, and he may be the one who decides his life and death.

"Since they are old friends, they know everything about Li Fu and Li Yi's brothers?" Wan Anguo played with the wrench in his hand and asked casually: "Then what is the ugly thing about Brother Li Fu that is not humane to outsiders?" ”

was asked like this, Li Xun understood a little, and the purpose of escorting him back to Beijing this time was to bring down Li Fu's brother, but Li Fu is an old friend for more than ten years, and Li Fu has always defended him everywhere, and now it is really difficult to stab him in the back.

"Although Xia Guan and Li Fu are old friends in the world, Li Fu has been an official in Beijing for many years, and he has not been in contact for a long time, as for what he does not know, Xia Guan really does not know, and I hope that the adults will find out!" Faced with such a dilemma, Li Xun had no choice but to talk about him left and right, hoping that he could be perfunctory.

Wan Anguo sneered, "Okay! Since you don't want to say more, this official is too lazy to bother to speak! It's just that the way to live is for you, as for whether you want to die or live, it's all up to you! After that, Wan Anguo brushed his sleeves and left.

Since then, there have been a number of siblings who have come to interrogate Li Xun, all of which are nothing more than about Li Xun's brothers. Li Xun was infinitely embarrassed, and even thought of apologizing with death, but he had no choice but to be cowardly.

Until one day, Li Xun's son-in-law Pei You went to visit Li Xun's father-in-law in prison, and after listening to Li Xun's complaints, he still explained the real purpose of the visit. On the second day, he asked the jailer to spread the word to Yousi, saying that there was something important to report.

Wan Anguo, who had first achieved results in interrogating Li Xun, brought Li Xun's confession to Tuoba Hong. Tuoba Hong looked at the confession that had been signed and signed, and nodded, "Can this Fan Yan find someone?" ”

Wan Anguo said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured! The minister has already sent someone to Fanyang, and there will be news in the near future! ”

Tuoba Hong nodded, "This matter must be considered thoroughly!" ”

Three days later, there were dozens of charges in the court, such as Si Song reporting Shangshu Li Fu and Li Yicao's life, Tuoba Honglongyan was furious, and ordered someone to take down Li Fu who didn't know what was happening on the spot, and immediately went to the guard to arrest Li Yi.

Li Fu and Li Yi brothers almost wanted to defend themselves, but they were choked by the officials of the department in the name of disobeying Long Yan, and forcibly knelt on the ground. Several upright old ministers were about to speak, but they were all pressed back by Tuoba Hong's fierce eyes.

From the time Yousi accused the Li Fu brothers of guilt to Tuoba Hong's interrogation, it was only an hour before the two brothers were convicted and dragged out and killed! Tuoba Hong's move looked at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, stunned and chilled...... (To be continued.) )
