The day of the court.

This is the first time Wei Feng has entered the Great Hall of the Wind Country, he didn't dare to look around, but together with Li Gongfu, he lowered his body slightly, and hurriedly walked to the center of the hall, and then knelt on the ground to salute, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen knocks on the king, my king Wannian-"

"Let's be flat." Lu Chen stretched out his hand slightly.

"King Xie—"

After the two of them got up, Lu Chen first looked at Wei Feng and said, "Wei Feng, this king heard that after you arrived in Qizhou, you ignored the opposition of your subordinates, and even offended the officials, and encircled and suppressed the bullies in Qizhou, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wei Feng hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, the Qizhou bully Zhou Bao, rampant in the market, has no king's law, opens a gambling brothel, forces good people to become prostitutes, traffics in human beings, and even kills people and arsons. ”

"Well said!" Lu Chen Dayue said: "This kind of bully, no matter who is behind him, should be eradicated!" This is also the reason why this king set up the city captain's mansion in the first place! ”

As he spoke, he said again: "My Fengguo official mansion needs such a city captain, and locally, it also needs such an officer!" Only then can we keep the people safe in a place! ”

After receiving the king's praise, Wei Feng was immediately flattered, and hurriedly knelt down again, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen is panicking. ”

"Huh?" Lu Chen waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said: "This time, you assisted Li Gongfu in investigating the Yan case, and you have made a great contribution, and this king will be rewarded!" ”

If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have faults, you will be punished, this is the basic way, and then, he also looked at Li Gongfu and said: "Lord Li, in the case of Qizhou Guanyan, you have worked hard and made great achievements, and this king will also reward you heavily." ”

was rewarded by the king, and any official would thank the king, but Li Gongfu said: "King, reward or not, in fact, it doesn't matter if the minister is there, but after the incident in Qizhou, the minister has something to play the king." ”

This is also where Lu Chen hates Li Gongfu, he is like a stinky stone!

After frowning slightly, Lu Chen still said, "If you have anything to say, Lord Li doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Li Gongfu said: "Now our country's officials, embezzlers, countless, the king before, also ordered the purge of officials, but the effect is not great, Wei Chen suggested, when in the county government, set up an independent official office, directly under the royal court, do not have anything to do with local officials, only responsible for supervising the corruption of officials." ”

In all dynasties, how can there be no corrupt officials, this is a problem that cannot be avoided at all, under the temptation of huge amounts of money, there are always people who are willing to take risks.

And Li Gongfu's advice also made Lu Chen immediately ponder, and after a while, he said: "Well, what Master Li said is not unreasonable, this matter is feasible in this king's opinion. ”

"I'm Wang Yingming." Li Gongfu arched his hand and said.

And hearing this, the imperial historian Lu Boyan immediately moved in his heart, and said: "The king, Weichen also agrees with Lord Li's advice, just like Qizhou, our country can set up an official position in the county government, called the Imperial History, it is not a subordinate relationship with the county head, does not obey the orders of the county head, and has no right to interfere in the government affairs of the county, but once it is found that there are officials who are corrupt, the supervisor of the imperial history can directly write to the royal court, so that not only can the idea of local officials 'the mountain is high and the emperor is far away', but also can achieve the effect of the king's rectification of the rule of officials." ”

"Well...... Not bad. After hearing this, Lu Chen also nodded, feeling that this plan was feasible.

However, the meaning of Lu Bo's words is already obvious, isn't it to advise the king that this official office is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial History Mansion.

At this time, Sima Wen also stood up and arched his hand and said: "Although Lord Lu is reasonable, Weichen thinks that the establishment of this official office should not be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial History Mansion, but should be a supervision order. ”

These two people are obviously fighting for power, which is also an unavoidable thing, after Sima Wen finished speaking, Lu Boyan immediately retorted: "Lord Sima's words are wrong, the Imperial History Mansion has the responsibility of inspecting officials for corruption, and this kind of official office should be arranged by the Imperial History Mansion." ”

"Huh?" Sima Wen waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "Lord Lu, just like the Qizhou case this time, after the right prime minister's order was issued, did the Imperial History Mansion send officials to investigate?" But what have you found? Didn't you go to Qizhou to eat and drink, and come back after a walk? ”

"You! Nonsense! Lu Bo was extremely angry, and then immediately turned to Lu Chen and said, "King! ”

"That's it!" Lu Chen waved his hand impatiently, frowned slightly, and said: "The establishment of an official office, this king thinks it is feasible, but this official office, let the supervision order be in charge, officials from all over the country, can be named the history of supervision, and temporarily receive the five grades of the imperial court." ”

"We're in command." Sima Wenna hurriedly said.

The issuance of this royal decree undoubtedly made Sima Wen's power greatly increased, but Lu Boyan's Imperial History Mansion fell behind.

Next, Xue Huairen, the right minister, stood up again and began to propose to Lu Chen: "King, it can be seen from the matter of the Qizhou City Governor's Mansion that local bullies are not an exception, they either have a background or a big backer, relying on power and oppressing the people, Weichen suggested that in the whole country, a purge led by the City Governor's Mansion should be launched, and the people everywhere will be peaceful!" ”

Lu Chen had nothing to say about his proposal, so he nodded directly and said, "Quasi!" ”

Xue Huairen said again: "In addition, most of the city captains in various parts of our country are the original generals in the army, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, all of them have military achievements, and their loyalty to the king and the country is higher than anyone else, and there is absolutely no problem in eliminating bandits, but the only drawback is that most of these arrogant generals under the king are rough people, they like to gather people to make trouble, and they rely on their military exploits, and they don't take the local civil officials seriously!" ”

What he said was more like a vague remark that Lu Chen was heavy on martial arts and light on literature, and when the latter heard this, he was also slightly displeased and said: "Lord Xue also said that these city captains are all soldiers under this king at the beginning!" If there are bandits or bullies in the local area, they can handle them more easily than any official! And you say that these people rely on their military exploits and bully local civil officials, are there any examples? ”

"This ......" Xue Huairen couldn't give an example for a while, but said: "Your Majesty, these city captains are all fourth-grade military attachés, but most of them are illiterate, which has a great impact, Wei Chen suggested that after the purge operation is over, the city captains from all over the country should be summoned to return to the capital and study at the military academy." ”

Lu Chen was originally in Fengzhou, and he had a military academy, but he had not implemented any strategy, and now when he heard Xue Huairen say this, he also thought about it, and then nodded and said, "Well, what Lord Xue advised, yes." ”

"I'm Wang Yingming." Xue Huairen returned to the line.

And after this court discussion, on the way out of the palace, Lu Boyan snorted directly at Sima Wen, and flicked his robe, not to mention how annoyed he was.
