Setting the tone, Liu Ze summoned Tian Feng, pointed to the file collected by the secret guard and said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, the Han Dynasty has only been in the middle for more than ten years, but corruption is endless. These officials all read the books of sages and sages to seek fame, but they didn't expect that behind the sanctimoniousness, they were so dirty. As a doctor of the imperial history, he should take it as his responsibility to support the righteous path, and send the officials of the imperial history platform to investigate thoroughly and bring these black sheep to justice. ”

Tian Feng saw that the files were piled up in half of the room, as a doctor of the imperial history, it was his duty to picket officials, but he didn't expect that the case in his hand and what the emperor had collected were more than a drop in the bucket, and the cold sweat on his back came out, and he trembled and said: "The minister immediately sent someone to transport these files, and after verifying them one by one, he will submit the decree to the emperor." ”

Liu Ze said: "Yuan Hao, handle these cases one by one into iron cases, don't wronged a good person, but you must not let go of a bad person." It seems that there are still deficiencies in the rule of officials of the Han Dynasty, blindly letting officials at all levels clean themselves up, whether they can't block their outstretched hands, or severely punish the law, let them know the price of stretching out, and only then will they be restrained. ”

Tian Feng was shocked, if the emperor used the cool officials, I don't know how many people would be killed in vain, and said at the moment: "In the past, Emperor Xiaowu used Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang, which were extremely cruel and solemn, and the officialdom was solemn, but the two of them and their minions fabricated charges, cracked down on the upright people in the court, and created countless unjust, false and wrongful cases. ”

After Liu Ze crossed, he made up for his knowledge, especially for the history of the Han Dynasty, and knew very well, for the cool officials of this dynasty, Sima Qianluo listed ten people, and passed them on independently, which was intended to warn the lord that the use of cool officials must be careful and careful. Judging from the current dialectic, everything has two sides, and cool officials are a double-edged sword, which can deter corrupt officials and corrupt officials if used well; If they are not used well, they use their power to take the opportunity to seek revenge and revenge, which greatly hurts the vitality of the imperial court.

Liu Ze said: "Yuan Hao misunderstood. My so-called harsh punishment and strict law is not to use cool officials, but to revise the law, increase the cost of crime for officials at all levels, and force them to be loyal to their duties and conscientious. ”

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has retired and immediately started to handle these cases." ”

Liu Ze said: "Yushitai and Tingweifu must work closely together, don't separate each other, I will issue an order later, so that Tingweifu will cooperate with you and so on." ”

Tian Feng said: "The emperor is thoughtful. ”

Liu Ze said: "Yuan Hao is no longer in his prime, and the affairs of Yushitai are complicated, so there is no need to come in person, and it is important to take care of your body." Leave for now, and summon you again when something happens. ”

After Tian Feng left, Liu Ze looked at the room full of files blankly, and his heart was cool and cool, since the past dynasties, the Qingming officials have won the hearts of the people, it turns out that there are too few Qing officials, too many corrupt officials, and officials who are really dedicated to the people and are honest and self-controlled, looking at the present, how many people can there be? Liu Ze mistakenly thought that the Han Dynasty was fierce and heroic, and the scholars were influenced by the sages, they must be high-spirited and bright, and they must be famous figures in history, who knew that in the face of realistic interests, the greed of human nature was exposed. Thinking of the statement that the Qing prefect had 100,000 snowflakes of silver in three years, Liu Ze shook his head helplessly, after three years of the incorruptible prefect, there are still 100,000 snowflakes of silver, what about the corrupt? I also remembered the news I had just gotten before I crossed over, a director of a land bureau in this county, with a term of office of less than three years, embezzled hundreds of millions of yuan and five or six sets of real estate. A bureau chief, several levels away from the prefect, is so greedy. It seems that throughout the ages, there have been too many temptations.

Liu Ze summoned Liu Hu and admonished: "Brother Hu, between you and my brothers, there is nothing to talk about. In today's government of officials, corruption is rampant, and you are secret guards, with special identities and great powers. Brother Hu, you are trustworthy, whether your subordinates have taken the opportunity to be corrupt, but it is difficult to prove. I came to you this time, just to let you secretly check and see if there is any problem inside the secret guard system? If there is a problem, I hope that Brother Hu will not be soft-hearted, and use thunder means to deter a group of people, and ensure that the secret guard system is clean and can not make any mistakes. ”

Liu Hu said loudly: "As an elder brother, I will pat your heart and promise that if someone in the secret guard dares to know the law and break the law, I will be the first to kill him." ”

Liu Ze said: "As for how to take charge of the secret guard, that's your business, Brother Hu, I only need a little, and the secret guard is an iron fist, which will make officials at all levels tremble one by one." ”

Liu Hu nodded violently and left.

Next, Liu Ze met with key officials from various systems, and the main topic of the conversation was one, anti-corruption and clean government.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, the big man is up and down, the undercurrent is surging, and from time to time there is a certain county order, a certain Taishou, a certain general, how much money has been embezzled, how much money has been embezzled, how much money has been embezzled, how much profit has been made by profiteers, and so on.

The officials with ghosts in their hearts couldn't sit still, and began to be busy looking for relationships to dredge, so the traffic avenue of Dahan prospered, and the inns and restaurants on both sides of the avenue made a fortune one by one.

Liu Ze looked at the progress of Tian Feng's daily report, his brows furrowed tightly, among the corrupt officials dealt with by Gain, the children of the family accounted for the majority. Liu Ze originally thought that the children of the poor family were not good and were more susceptible to corrosion, but he didn't expect that the most vulnerable to corrosion were the children of the family who had no shortage of food and clothing since childhood.

With a stroke of the pen, Liu Ze dismissed the corrupt officials one by one, and convicted them according to the circumstances, and those who held positions within three generations of the same clan were all implicated and dismissed from office at the same time, and their immediate family members and three generations could not participate in the imperial examination. This time, the scope involved is too big, especially the children of the family, which family does not have three or five county orders and too guards, but they are not in the main position, and there are not a few officials such as Gongcao and the main book. When one person is convicted, the whole family is unlucky, and the officials who have committed the crime inevitably become live targets in the family, sitting in prison, and not even a single relative or friend comes to visit.

Since the children of the family are not good, Liu Ze wantonly promoted the children of the poor family, in order to prevent the emergence of a new family, the newly appointed officials, repeated orders, high salaries and incorruptible support, if you dare to break the law, the price of the children of the poor family is that they will not be able to turn over in a few lifetimes.

As a modern person, Liu Zeda doesn't want to engage in this set of plants, after all, the nine sons of Longsheng are different, even brothers are not necessarily the same character, and engaging in this set of plants is equivalent to eradicating the seedlings and weeds. But if this is not the case, with the strength of the children of the family, the officials will protect each other, and in a few years, they will turn over again.

Liu Ze is very entangled in his heart, there is no way, let's focus on reality, for the real virtuous ministers who are connected to Zhulian, after a few years, when the wind and rain pass, it is not a matter of his own words or not, and a special edict will solve the problem.

There were frequent domestic storms in the Han Dynasty, but for Persia, which was against Rome, there was no wave. Under Liu Ye's operation, Liu Jian learned what the real wrist is. Han and Roman merchants frequently went in and out of Persia, taking away batches of dragon and tiger pills, fine wine, and real strange things, leaving behind real money, silver, fine iron, leather and other things.
