Chapter 908: Capital Crimes Can Be Forgiven, Living Crimes Can Be Commuted!
The self-examination of the imperial court for several days has put everyone in the entire imperial court in danger. Especially corrupt officials.
Li Shimin's orders were sent down by officials who did not pass in time and by luck thought that they could get through in the dark, and what they got was the crime of beheading.
Nothing is negotiable.
And on this day, Li Shimin came directly to the East Palace, and he brought Du Ruhui and others with him.
At this time, it was in the hall of the East Palace.
Everyone stood below, while Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian sat on the main seat.
Generally speaking, the crown prince is not qualified to sit with Li Shimin, but today Li Shimin allowed him to sit next to him.
Li Shimin first asked: "Gao Ming, how is your darkroom going these days?" ”
He was concerned about the suggestion made by Li Chengqian a few days ago.
I don't know what the situation is.
Li Chengqian didn't disclose too much, after all, these things take time to operate.
Today, Li Shimin finally couldn't help but ask.
I probably held it back for too long and wanted to know.
"Father, I don't know if this matter should be considered a good thing or a bad thing."
Li Chengqian said.
When you hear it, what is this, is it good or bad?
"Oh? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Li Shimin was puzzled as to why Li Chengqian said this.
"The inventory of property in the darkroom must be full once every hour, and we have invested a lot of manpower to count, just one day's property can account for one-tenth of Chang'an's annual tax revenue! In this way, it took five days, which is already half of Chang'an! If it continues, I'm afraid it will be exceeded! ”
"So your mood is getting complicated?"
Li Shimin said.
"Yes, it is a good thing to let corrupt officials spit out the money they have gained. But the more things there are, the more it proves that the official style of my Datang court is not right. It's worrying! ”
I see, this is indeed a worrying thing.
Empress Changsun said: "Gao Ming, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, they can spit it out, proving that our court has a deterrent effect, and at the same time, this money can also be filled into the treasury, which can be used to strengthen the development effect!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun was thinking about the other side of the matter.
This is not unreasonable.
Li Chengqian understands better than anyone why this is the situation today.
That's because Pang Xiangshou's resignation is a bit like killing chickens and setting an example.
"Yes, Gao Ming, your mother is not wrong, you don't have to worry too much, they are willing to spit it out, that's a good thing, and I can not blame the past. I hope that they can clean up their own government and contribute to Datang in the future! ”
"Yes, my father is right. In fact, Erchen has been thinking recently, why are so corrupt officials greedy!? Erchen has been thinking about this for a long time. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"First of all, the court cares too little about them, and secondly, Yulu is not attractive enough."
Li Shimin came to the spirit.
There was such a thing as caring, so he asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Erchen has an immature idea."
In fact, Li Chengqian already had a complete plan in mind, but he said it on purpose.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Li Chengqian said directly:
"In terms of care, you can summon all the officials above the fifth grade to visit Chang'an every six months, and instill some ideas in them, those who are not greedy, can shade their descendants, and the court will not treat them badly. In addition, a set of review mechanisms has been established, and some upright people have been ordered to go down to the grassroots level to understand the situation. As for the income, it can even be linked to the GDP and the degree of development, and the bigger it is, the more it will earn. Of course, each region has a different degree of development, and the resulting coefficient will also be different. It's easier to be bigger and stronger in a small place. And they want more, there is only one way, and that is to become bigger! In this way, my Datang will definitely be stronger, about these two points, only the opinion of the son, and at the same time the son-in-law is also written into the book, if the father is free, you can take a look. ”
Li Chengqian's writing speed is very fast, and he can write a 50,000-word book in just one day, which is equivalent to a proposal.
Li Chengqian's words won the consent of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
"Well, Gao Ming, you're right, show me this document when the time comes."
Li Shimin was very curious.
"Yes! When the time comes, the ministers will definitely send it to His Majesty for trial. ”
Regarding the rule of the world, Li Chengqian has many new ideas, but he is afraid that Li Shimin will not implement them, if Li Shimin is willing to do this, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely be more powerful.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also highly talented!"
At this time, several other people also said at the same time.
Because they were also shocked, they didn't dare to think about the two points he mentioned, and they didn't think about it.
But Li Chengqian really thought of it.
Li Shimin nodded, expressing great satisfaction.
Then he asked:
"Li Jing! What about the review of Pang Sang-shou's related personnel? ”
A few days ago, the matter of the people related to pet Xiangshou began to be reviewed.
This matter was directly given to Li Jing for trial.
Li Jing said: "Regarding Pang Xiangshou's accomplices, a total of more than 100 people have been interrogated!" ”
This is undoubtedly huge, shocking news.
Hundreds of people.
There were only 300 people in the entire Shang Dynasty.
This accounts for almost half of it, which makes people a little scary when they think about it.
Pang Xiangshou can be greedy so much, most of it is because of these people, right?
"What do you think these people are going to do?"
"Most of these hundred or so people must not be officials in Chang'an, they think that if they stay away from Chang'an, they can do whatever they want and help Pang Xiangshou do some unsightly things. This has to be done strictly! As for the officials in Chang'an City, Erchen thought that these people should be dealt with in a softer way. ”
Li Jing once talked to Li Chengqian about this matter, because Li Chengqian knew the specific situation of the matter very well.
"Well, I thought that was the case."
Li Shimin expressed the same thoughts as Li Chengqian.
It is best to have education and stability in sync.
"What does Your Majesty think?"
Empress Eldest Sun asked.
Li Shimin thought for a while, and suddenly said, "That's it!" Give them time to turn themselves in, and if they do surrender, the punishment will be reduced by half, and the death penalty can be waived, and the living crime can be reduced! For those with a small amount, the punishment will be directly exempted, but it is necessary to note the blacklist, not as an example! If there is a next time, just cut it! ”
Li Shimin is even more murderous than Li Chengqian, what he means is, I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it, and make mistakes again, then, I can only let you die!
He can do this, as long as he gives them a chance, he can be stable.
In this way, Li Shimin and the others stayed in the East Palace for a while, and did not leave until the evening.
During this time, I also drank the good wine of the East Palace.
Fortunately, Cheng Biting Jin didn't come, otherwise the wine would have to be less than one tank.
In the end, Li Shimin and the others left the East Palace, and as soon as they walked on the front foot, someone came to look for them on the back foot.
