Chapter 14: Advice!
At this time, these exposed officials were afraid, and they scolded Yun Yi to death in their hearts.
You said that you raised donations, and Lao Tzu cooperated vigorously, why did you still fight a rake after it was over? Are you TM the devil!
Those innocent officials were also stunned for a while, these three princes are really ruthless! This time, it is almost necessary to eliminate some officials in the court!
Could it be that he had anticipated this situation before the fundraiser?
At this time, looking at the chaos below, Emperor Shang's face became darker and darker, and he suddenly smashed his fist on the dragon chair and roared: "Enough!" ”
The voice in the court suddenly fell silent, and more than a dozen corrupt officials who were arrested lay on the ground trembling with pale faces.
"Dali Siqing!"
"The minister is here!"
A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Put all these people in prison for me, and stay for investigation!"
Emperor Shang's face sank like water, and he looked at these people below coldly, and there was surging anger in his tone.
After that, he looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Nie Tai!" ”
"The minister is here!"
"The Criminal Department fully cooperates with the investigation of Dali Temple, and if there is more than 50,000 taels of corruption and bribery, there is no need to report it, and the house will be raided directly!"
"Yes!"
After that, a team of guards took these people down directly, and the entire hall was silent.
The incident happened suddenly, and in less than half an hour, the originally happy donation event led to another unrelated direction.
Things have come to this point that no one expected.
Yun Yi didn't want to arrest any corrupt officials, who knew that these people were too conspicuous, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't point them out!
"Retreat!"
Shang Huang snorted coldly and left directly.
"Your Highness, you are a little reckless this time!"
Yu Deshou looked at Yun Yi with a strange face.
When counting the number of donors just now, Yun Yi asked him about the situation of those officials, and he didn't think much about it at that time, who knew that in a blink of an eye, Yun Yi would go to arrest corrupt officials, and he would catch so many of them.
It's kind of ...... It's so good at getting things done!
"It's just a group of tarsal insects of big merchants, and it's not a pity to die!" Yun Yi shook his head with a solemn expression.
"However, today's incident is too much involved!" Zuo Xiangyan Yimin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It is normal for corrupt officials to have officials in the court, and even the Shang Emperor himself knows that this kind of thing cannot be completely eradicated.
Even if you want to investigate, you can't do it easily, otherwise a large number of people will definitely be involved, causing the government and the opposition to shake.
"Forget it, let's go to the apse, and the follow-up matters will be discussed with Your Majesty."
After that, Yu Deshou, Yan Yimin and Yun Yi went to the apse together.
Emperor Shang's face was cloudy at this time, obviously in a very bad mood, and when he saw the three of them come in, his face eased slightly.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me!"
Emperor Shang waved his hand and retreated left and right, leaving only Gonggong Liu waiting outside.
After a little silence, Emperor Shang slowly spoke:
"Tell me, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he swept over the left and right faces, and his gaze stopped on Yun Yi's face for two seconds before retracting.
"Your Majesty, corruption has always been a disease of the government and the opposition, since His Highness has pried it open a crack this time, then we must investigate to the end and find out all these people!"
Yu Deshou clenched his fists, the court is a place where power gathers, if this kind of place is full of smoke and miasma, and tumors are everywhere, then what future does the Shang country have!
"However, the involvement is indeed too great, it is conceivable that behind these people there will definitely be some family valves, the so-called involvement of the whole body, if it is not handled properly, it may cause civil strife......" Yan Yimin looked solemn.
"These, damn families!"
Emperor Shang Huo Ran got up, his eyes hateful, and the green tendons on his clenched fists burst out.
"Insatiable!"
"Sin is unforgivable!"
He was like a lit powder keg, igniting all the anger that had accumulated before.
Seeing Emperor Shang's reaction, Yu Deshou smiled awkwardly, in fact, the Yu family behind him is also a family, and it is also one of the four major families at the top of the Great Shang.
"Father!"
Yun Yi suddenly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Actually, about this situation, Erchen has some ideas!" ”
"The emergence of corrupt officials in the government and the opposition is mainly due to three situations!"
"First, the supervision system of my big business is not perfect enough, so those with ulterior motives will take advantage of the loopholes!"
"Second, there is also a big problem with the official selection system!"
"Third, the income of officials is low, and many officials are obviously in high positions but still live a poor and dull life."
The first two points are nothing, and the third point is that Yan Yimin, the left minister, has the most right to speak.
Zuo Xiang Yan Yimin is very frugal and unswerving, he is a well-known Qing official, a huge state mansion, and it is not easy to rely on his support alone.
Just like this fundraiser, other officials, big and small, donated tens of thousands of taels, and even the small Congliupin donated 30,000 taels, and he was shy in his pocket, so he reluctantly donated 500 taels in the end.
And Yan Yimin is a dignified and upright person!
Lian Zhengyipin's officials are so poor, where do the other petty officials get their money? There is really food for thought.
However, it can also be seen from this that there is indeed a problem with the system of big business.
At this time, hearing Yun Yi's speech, Emperor Shang's face was surprised.
can see the system problems of a country, this kid is a bit of a material!
Although this kid has proved his talent in the matter of horses, he can't hide what he has done before.
Having fun all day long, lingering in the fireworks, there is very little time to really learn.
Even if Yun Yi used a novel invention to solve the problem of horse loss, the Shang Emperor did not think that Yun Yi could have much knowledge.
Therefore, it is really hard to imagine that these remarks will be made by this big man
Thinking in his heart, Emperor Shang became interested, and his eyes lit up and looked at Yun Yi:
"You go on!"
Yun Yi pondered for a moment, glanced at the three monarchs and ministers staring at him, and said:
"Father, the first question, the important thing is the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Imperial Historical Observatory belongs to the supervision mechanism of the Great Merchants, but even the Imperial Historical Doctor is only from the third grade, and its rights are restricted by all parties, which also leads to the inability to maximize the inspection efforts!"
The first question made Yan Yimin nod in agreement, a supervision mechanism that is only from the top three products, there are a large number of people in the court who can suppress it, even if the inspectors are dedicated to the country, they dare not risk death to admonish.
Emperor Shang also bowed slightly, signaling Yun Yi to continue.
"The second question is that the current system of electing officials in my Dashang is still elected by the aristocracy, and the original reason for the selection of this system is to select talents and abilities, but after so many years, this system has completely lost its original meaning."
"The current election system has completely become the umbrella for the family to employ people and send officials to the imperial court!"
"These families have wantonly occupied land and oppressed civilians for many years, and in the end they will only make the oppressed people who can't even eat enough to do some radical things."
"This is the so-called, the government forces the people to rebel!"
"The court is the court of the country, and the position of the monarch and the minister is to focus on the people of the country, if this position is biased towards the family and becomes a weapon to oppress the people, it will only make the great merchants perish!"
