Chapter 1309: Blockade of Jinling City

Zeiszi's efforts within the Anti-Corruption Bureau quickly paid off.

For a mature politician, what he pays attention to is to kill the enemy with one blow, only one fire, super fierce fire, burn all the enemies to death and pull them down, as for what fire after fire, not only can not burn people, but will also cause greater trouble.

Before Cai Siqi presided over the rectification work, he specially asked to meet Li Xuan and asked the Son of Heaven to guide the work.

And the word guidance, in the Tang Dynasty officialdom, actually means asking for help.

Li Xuan gave him a direct reply that he would support Cai Siqi's rectification work in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and asked Hantong to cooperate.

How does Hantong cooperate?

Hantong directly gave Zeisqi a list, and needless to say, the names on the list are naturally problematic and need to be rectified.

Therefore, when Cai Siqi officially took office as the director, he did not engage in such a mess as fighting for power and profit, he directly brought people from the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Inspectorate to the door, and then packed up nearly half of the officials in the Anti-Corruption Bureau and took them away.

After directly killing half of the original officials, Cai Siqi went to meet with Shi Wuyan again, asking Shi Wuyan to send more personnel to his anti-corruption bureau, and specified that he should not be transferred from the inspectorate system, but from other departments, such as the court system and the Ministry of Justice, in addition to the new science and technology scholars and doctors this year.

Moreover, it is required that all newly transferred officials must not be more than 40 years old, preferably young people in their twenties and thirties.

On the one hand, young people dare to fight, and they still retain a very rare innocence, and they are not too seriously polluted by the big dye vat of officialdom, and secondly, these young people still have the possibility of continuing to climb up.

Even if their minds are no longer pure, they will work harder for the future, instead of being like those old bureaucrats in their forties and fifties, who can get by and be greedy if they can.

After such a fierce fire, the Anti-Corruption Bureau naturally changed a lot, and Cai Shiqi began to complete the task assigned by Li Xuan.

In addition to dispatching a special task force to Jiangbei, he also set up a secret task force for several heavyweight targets, and successively sent inspection groups to the three provinces of Jiangnan, northern Anhui, and southern Anhui.

However, the large-scale arrest has not yet begun, and Zeiszi is still waiting, waiting for the Son of Heaven to blow the horn of attack!

Cai Siqi did not wait long, in November, in the early winter, the Tang Dynasty newspaper officially published the serious violation of law and discipline of Xie Guanglin, a former Jiangbei Provincial Taoist, and officially removed the official from all positions and transferred to judicial trial.

In response to Xie Guanglin's violations of law and discipline, the Son of Heaven made important instructions to "deal with it strictly".

Xie Guanglin will be unlucky, this is something that many people have known for a long time, because the corruption problem in Jiangbei Province is too serious, and it is precisely because of the corruption problem in Jiangbei Province that it has led to judicial independence, the reorganization of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and other incidents.

Soon, the Gyeonggi Supreme Court made a verdict on Xie Guanglin: death penalty, and the rest of the more than 200 people involved in the case were also sentenced to death.

However, this is only a reported matter, and it has not been publicly reported, and the above-mentioned officials who committed crimes basically cannot escape the fate of being raided and exterminated!

The law of Datang has a joint sitting system, especially for officials, which is basically a crime committed by an official, and the whole family will die!

Li Xuan believes that since the family of the criminal official has enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by the corruption of officials, then they need to bear the corresponding consequences.

In Datang, it is impossible for criminals to commit crimes to get a huge amount of wealth, and after criminals are caught, they still expect their families to be able to keep these illegal gains and continue to enjoy a rich life.

This time, there is not much exile, let alone a sentence of fixed-term imprisonment and imprisonment, in order to achieve the effect of shocking hundreds of officials, Li Xuan personally instructed: Deal with it strictly.

This means that the punishment is strict, that is basically the crime plus one degree, and it is necessary to exterminate the clan if it can be destroyed, and kill it if it can be killed, and never let it go.

At the same time, we must also keep in mind the principle of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots!

The people of China have a tradition of revenge for ten years, and there is also a tradition that the hatred of parents is greater than the sky.

It has been written in countless books: After a certain magnate was killed, his son and grandson survived by luck, and then practiced his magic skills incognito, and when he grew up, he killed the enemy with his magic skills and took revenge!

Li Xuan didn't want to shoot himself in the future, he didn't know that the son or daughter of an enemy came out of nowhere.

Therefore, directly exterminate the clan, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and it is a hundred.

The arrest and handling of more than 200 criminal officers is just the beginning!

Zeiss Qi has become very busy, this is not to say that he is busy handling cases or anything, in fact, he doesn't understand anything about handling cases, the most he does in the Anti-Corruption Bureau is actually to rectify the internal, and then assign tasks, as for the specific handling of cases by his subordinates, in fact, he doesn't interfere much, well, he doesn't know how to interfere.

Anyway, he only needs his subordinates to kill the officials on the list, and he doesn't care about the rest!

As for his list, some of the heavyweight targets were dictated by the Son of Heaven, while the middle and low-level officials were circled according to the scope of the Son of Heaven, and then he himself circled the scope.

For those middle and low-level officials, who to arrest and who not to arrest, in fact, the Son of Heaven does not care, and even the investigation and arrest of those high-level officials, the Son of Heaven does not care much.

He only put forward two requirements for Zeiszi: first, to have a good deterrent, and second, not to affect the operation of the various institutions of the empire.

The rest is as much as he wants!

Therefore, Zeiszi's main work recently is to study the thick list, and then constantly circle out suitable targets from them, and then assign them to his subordinates.

Regarding the anti-corruption matter, the Son of Heaven seems to give him great power, but in fact, Cai Siqi knows very well that he is a knife of the Son of Heaven, or a knife on the surface.

Whoever the Son of Heaven asks him to cut, he can only cut whomever he wants.

Li Xuan didn't seem to have personally formulated many detailed goals, but the names of several important officials he gave in person, through the analysis of these officials, then he could know what the goals of the Son of Heaven were.

Needless to say, Zeiszi personally set the criteria of 'no hope for promotion, huge amount of corruption, bad influence, not high enough political consciousness, and cannot affect the ......operation of the imperial administration', as long as he meets one of the criteria, then it may become his goal, and if it meets more than two at the same time, it will basically become a goal.

If it meets the three rules, it is basically a dead person.

And even so, in fact, there will be too many targets, and the job of Zeiszi is to choose a suitable target, and when there are many people arrested, there are gradually people who come to intercede and trust relationships.

For these people, Cai Shiqi will also analyze and then report to the Son of Heaven, which often has similar keywords: party, friend, etc......

And then, these people basically don't expect to be able to save their lives!

The targets selected by the Anti-Corruption Bureau are basically officials with relatively bad amounts of corruption and bad influence, and there are still people who plead for them?

No need to ask, just kill the person who intercedes, a nest of snakes and rats, and killing a few more will not be in the way.

At this time, Li Xuan's purpose of choosing Cai Siqi as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau was also revealed, who is Cai Siqi? He was born in Hanlin and served as Li Xuan's entourage secretary for seven years.

The emperor of the Eight Classics, the henchman of the Holy Son of Heaven!

So, even if he doesn't know anything about investigating cases and the like, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he doesn't have too many complicated relationships in officialdom like other officials, he is a very pure loner.

Li Xuan is his golden thigh, urgently holding Li Xuan's super golden leg, he doesn't need to be polite to other officials, even the ministers on duty in the imperial study.

After the Jiangbei case, under the auspices of Cai Siqi, the Northern Anhui case and then the Shandong case came one after another.

Of course, it is even more turbulent in Jinling City!

The Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Inspectorate first carried out internal purges, then carried out internal purges within the Inspectorate, then the courts, the Ministry of Justice, the Patrol Police Department, and then extended to the Inspectorate, courts, patrol police and other institutions in the provinces.

In order to ensure the success of the nationwide anti-corruption operation, Li Xuan asked Shi Wuyan to ensure the purity of the judicial system, although this may be an act of cutting off his arm for Shi Wuyan, but the Son of Heaven personally confessed, and Shi Wuyan did not dare to oppose it at all.

Therefore, he personally supervised the war, and the anti-corruption bureau came out, first from the central judiciary, and then to the local judiciary, and found out a large number of corrupt officials in the judiciary.

In just half a month, the Central Inspectorate has prosecuted more than 300 officials of the judiciary, and these more than 300 people are all judicial officials in the Gyeonggi region.

More crucially, the Anti-Corruption Bureau does not seem to have any intention of stopping, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau's task force has begun to be stationed in other agencies in Gyeonggi, even independent agencies such as the Ministry of Taxation.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau acted quickly, and in just one month, more than 1,000 officials were arrested one after another!

This is in Jinling!

Including those who were previously dealt with in the judiciary, the total number is nearly 2,000.

Many people thought that this time it was so ruthless that it was about to end, but the Anti-Corruption Bureau still did not stop and began to extend its tentacles to local provinces.

Because Zeisszi knows that this time his task is far from complete!

And in this context of anti-corruption!

At the beginning of December, the Son of Heaven ordered all armies to enter the state of garrisoning in place through the traditional channels of the Army Privy Council and the Navy High Command, and that no troops should be mobilized unless there was a special order, and violators would be punished as treason!

At the same time, through the Army Section and the Navy Section of the Hanlin Academy, secret orders were issued to generals at and above the level of brigadier general in various localities, repeating the above orders.

Subsequently, Li Xuan personally ordered the guards to blockade Jinling City!

After the blockade was completed, the personnel of the Military Police Directorate of the Naval High Command, mentioned by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Privy Council of the Army, began to be stationed in the major institutions of the Army and Navy!
