After reading the document, Fu Zhu and the others were also extremely shocked.

"This..."

"There is such a thing, and it is still next to Yecheng."

.......

The crowd gathered around and talked about it.

He knelt down and said, "The minister was ordered to carry out internal affairs, and he did not fulfill his duties, so please punish the lord." ”

"What does this have to do with you? Get up! Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "Huyang County's order has been killed by me with a cane, which is cheap for him." At that time, I didn't know that he colluded with the bandits, but I thought he was cowardly and didn't dare to fight the bandits, but I didn't expect him to be so bold. Through this incident, we can see that the situation in Hebei is not as good as we imagined. Even the counties around Wei County have such lawbreakers, what about He, You, North Korea, and other places? Especially the state that has just been captured by us, there are jungles and mountains everywhere, and three or five people can get together and rob them. Our money banks and grain depots will all be threatened. ”

"Here today, I'm going to put the ugly things in front of me. No matter which state or county, if the country suffers losses because of my own negligence, I will not spare it. Depending on the amount of loss, the sentence can range from five years to life imprisonment, and the worst sentence is immediate beheading! ”

"Yes..."

All the officials responded.

Guo Tu listed: "My lord, the minister has a suggestion." ”

"Say."

He arched his hand and said: "There are more than 40 counties and hundreds of counties in Hebei Prefectures, and it is inevitable that the Military Administration Department will not be able to take care of them. The ministers believed that they should send people to inspect various places from time to time to punish and reward officials in various places. ”

"Your suggestion is very good!" Yuan Xi looked at Fu Zhi and said, "Start doing it immediately!" ”

"Yes."

Frustration should be given.

"We are fortunate to have worked so hard to build the territory, and we can't let these people destroy it..." After Yuan Xi made a fire, he calmed down and said, "You can set up a department first, called the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Officials who are responsible for supervising each locality are conscientious. As the public rule says, reward officials who govern the localities well, and severely punish those who bend the law for corruption. ”

"Especially the state.... Yuan Xi mentioned again: "The terrain of Bingzhou is special, and it is very easy for bandits to appear. Those officials who have committed crimes may also go up the mountain to escape responsibility. Therefore, the merger of states is the focus of our inspectors. ”

He replied, "Please rest assured. The Military Administration Department will do it immediately! ”

.............

After the meeting.

Fu Zhu stayed, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, the minister thinks that it is not the best time to punish the place now. ”

"What? Is it all about timing? Yuan Xi didn't understand what he meant.

Fu Zhu said: "Local officials, mostly related to the family. If they dare to defy the law, there must be someone behind them to support them, or they will collude up and down, and the relationship is complicated. Punishing one person will implicate a large number of people. It is not impossible to even implicate the big family of Yecheng. If it is really implicated, how is the lord going to deal with it? ”

"Do you still need to ask, how to deal with it, how to deal with it. Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned. Yuan Xi said without thinking.

"That's exactly what the minister was worried about." Fu Zhu arched his hand and said: "At present, all the armies are gathered in Wei County, preparing to attack Yuan Tan in two months. Although our army is already victorious, but the big war is imminent, how can we mess with our own positions? Minister's will, put this matter aside for a while, and when Yuan Tan is resolved, it is not too late to rectify the officials, and you can't lose a big one because of a small one. ”

"Will the punishment of the magistrate affect the expedition?" Yuan Xi snorted: "In my opinion, it can boost morale, right?" ”

"Lord, now is not the time to be angry..."

"Who's angry with you?" Yuan Xi said: "Who doesn't hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials? When they are punished, the people are at peace, and the soldiers can kill the enemy with confidence.... ”

When he said this, Yuan Xi had a new idea: "Mr. Fu, I believe that in Jizhou, there must be officials like Huyang County. You immediately send someone to raid the crime, and within two months, escort the officials who have committed the crime to Yecheng. When going out on the expedition, after sacrificing to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors, there is still a lack of a sacrificial flag. It is best to sacrifice the flag with the heads of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

"The bigger the commotion, the more the families dare not disagree. The army is more combative. ”

"The lord has decided?" Frustrated and cautious, he always felt that it was inappropriate to do so.

"It's decided. Otherwise, you can't shake the black heart of corrupt officials! Yuan Xi's eyes were like torches, and he said undoubtedly.

................

The matter of Huyang County soon spread to all counties and counties in Jizhou. At the same time, dozens of officials were sent to the local area for inspection. Those officials who have committed crimes, or those who are suspected, will be escorted back to Yecheng to await trial.

I thought that on the cusp of this storm, no one would hit the muzzle of the gun.

Unexpectedly, there are really people who are not afraid of death.

In just half a month, more than 30 county and county-level officials were arrested. Some are the main book, some are the chief envoys, and some are county orders... The official positions are different from each other, but the mistakes they make are similar to each other, and they are all to benefit themselves at the expense of the interests of the country and the people.

Early May.

The arrested officials were escorted to Yecheng.

Yuan Xi was shocked again.

In Jizhou alone, more than 30 officials were caught in a casual net. What would it be like in the outlying areas? For example, Korea and Goguryeo are thousands of miles away, and the decrees of Yecheng are sent there, and then they are conveyed by the assassins and governors, and they may all change.

Military Administration.

Sit in the hall.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country." I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it completely. With these moths and bad things, how can the country be kept? Don't say that there are foreign enemies, you will play yourself to death. ”

"Mr. Fu, Yuan Hao, Gongda, what do you think?"

"Ministers are the same as lords. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it. Guo Tu sighed and said: "Fortunately, the lord found out early, as long as the punishment is severe, the officials everywhere will be afraid and will be much more restrained." ”

"Embezzlement has been common since ancient times. No dynasty can be truly purged. The minister thought that as long as it did not affect the war, it was enough to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. Frustrated.

"Mr. Fu's words, I don't dare to agree." Tian Feng said: "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are more hateful than enemies. How can they let them go if they secretly steal state-owned assets and damage the reputation of the government? As long as you catch it, if you have one, you have to kill it, and you must not be soft. ”

"My thoughts are the same as Yuan Hao, I must not condone corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" Yuan Xi once again expressed his attitude.

"Yuan Hao."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi instructed: "All the officials who are escorted back to Yecheng will be handed over to you for review." Within a month and a half, I must find out all the cases, and when I go out on the expedition, I will kill them and sacrifice the flag. ”

"Yes."

Tian Feng also hated corrupt officials and was very supportive of Yuan Xi's orders.
