Chapter 37: The Secretary Speaks of Greed (2nd Watch)
A few days later, not far from the Qianqing Palace, in a room with a secretariat sign, I saw a young official in a seven-grade official uniform standing inside, except for Shen Peng and Han Zhong, the other four men, all with a trace of excitement on their faces.
"Are they all there?" At this moment, an official in his thirties, dressed in a fourth-grade official uniform, with a short beard and a warm smile, walked in from outside.
"Meet Master Gao," the young officials immediately saluted respectfully.
Gao Liang, the minister of the East Palace, one of His Majesty's attendants, and the former household servant, has now been transferred to the Secretariat as the Secretary-General of the Secretariat.
"No need to be polite" Gao Liang smiled kindly, and said: "You are all the champions of this scientific expedition, Bangyan, Tanhua, and the best few, Your Majesty reform and innovation, in order to train talents, the establishment of the secretariat, the work of the secretariat is not very complicated, one is to proofread the excerpts sent by the Chinese Book Province, and the other is to some important excerpts, focus on the identification, reduce the amount of Your Majesty's work, understand?" ”
"Understood"
"In addition, you must remember that it is not allowed to change a word on each of these books without permission, and it is not allowed to leave a trace of a single stroke," Gao Liang immediately said solemnly
"Yes"
"Master Gao, our family has sent the folds" At this time, Zheng Sanbao walked in with a smile with a few eunuchs holding a large number of folds.
"There is Chief Lao Zheng in charge," Gao Liang hurriedly said.
"No hindrance, no hindrance, there are a lot of twists and turns today, and I may have to work hard for the adults in the secretariat," Zheng Sanbao said.
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is our duty" Gao Liang hurriedly said.
"Okay, then our family will go first" Zheng Sanbao saluted slightly, then turned around and left, and Shen Peng and the others immediately looked at the song with excitement, each of these books is related to the major affairs of the country, originally only the high-level of Zhongshu Province can read it, but now they can let them proofread it, although they have no right to decide anything, but this is also a huge honor.
Looking at these passionate young people in front of him, Gao Liang said: "Time is very tight, we will assign it immediately, Shen Peng, you are the champion, starting from you, and you will proofread the recitals from Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the future."
"Yes, my lord" Shen Peng took a bunch with some trembling.
"Li Yong," Gao Liang shouted again
"Xiaguan Zai" A man with a slightly dark complexion and slightly rough skin, obviously from a poor background, stood up, he is really the contemporary leader Li Yong.
"You are responsible, Xuzhou, Yanzhou's twists and turns" Gao Liang said.
"Yes"
"Guozhong"
"In" Han Zhong immediately stood up, because Xiang Chi wanted to press Du Xuan, so Han Zhong became a Tanhua.
"You are responsible for Yizhou, Yuzhou's twists and turns"
"Yes"
"Du Xuan"
"Xia Guan Zai" A young man who was eight and a half feet tall, with high cheekbones, a square and round sky, and an aggressive look in his eyes, also stood up.
"You are in charge of Liangzhou, Jiaozhou," Gao Liang said solemnly.
"Yes"
"Wang Yi"
"In"
"You are in charge of the twists and turns of Youzhou"
"Yes"
"Zhao Yan"
"In"
"It's up to you to take care of the state"
"Yes"
"As for Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Guanzhong in the back, I personally proofread it" Gao Liangdao.
"Yes"
"Again, time is tight, go back to your seat at once, start proofreading, and if you find some notes that you think are very important, report them to me," Gao Liang instructed.
"Yes"
Everyone immediately returned to their seats with the fold in their hands, opened a book of folds and began to proofread it carefully, in fact, Da Chu has been established for so many years, and many of them have formed a stable system, such as where there is a disaster, send money and food to help it, need to repair the project, and the Ministry of Labor will total, no need to bother much, it will definitely be right to do it.
"Bastard"
However, after a while, Du Xuan suddenly slapped the table heavily, startling everyone.
Gao Liang frowned and said, "Du Xuan, what are you doing?" ”
Du Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the people who were watching him, and immediately stood up and pleaded guilty: "The lower official was angry for a while, and he didn't control himself well."
"Brother Du, are you angry when you see something" Shen Peng made a round for him.
"Really, a county magistrate in Liangzhou, because of corruption and bribery, actually released a robber who killed eight lives, and among these eight lives, there are two young sons" Du Xuan said angrily.
"What" the others were also surprised.
After Gao Liang was slightly silent, he said: "What is the verdict given by Zhongshu Province?"
"I will never wait for the time, but the lower officials feel that this is too light," Du Xuan frowned.
"Oh" Gao Liang smiled and said, "Okay, then let's stop for a while, just this book, everyone carefully talk about their opinions, although we don't have the right to decide, but the secretariat still has the right to talk"
|“ My lord, the lower officials suggested that in addition to beheading and deciding, the family property should be confiscated, because the reason why these officials are corrupt is not only because of themselves, but also for the happiness of future generations" Han Zhong took the lead in standing up.
"Yes, in addition to confiscation, we also need to deter, we should be on the execution ground, let officials at all levels, go to watch the punishment, let them see with their own eyes, what will happen to corrupt officials and the country" Li Yong then spoke.
"Beyond that, corruption is never the work of an official, and it is possible that his relatives are involved. Therefore, every case must be investigated to the end, and the relatives who are slightly involved, including sons and wives, will never be tolerated," Du Xuan finally said ruthlessly.
Shen Peng, who was sitting first on the left, frowned and said, "Wouldn't this be too harsh?"
"Yes, I rule the country with leniency, if so, it will inevitably make officials everywhere tremble," Wang Yi nodded.
"Haha, the official has already said that ours is talking, not decision-making, and your policy is to raid the house at three points, watch the punishment, and cut it off, right?" Gao Liang Dao.
"It's true" Du Xuan, Han Zhong, and Li Yong.
"Okay, the official has written down these three points and continued to proofread, but Du Xuan, if you have any opinions to say in the future, you can't slap the table" Gao Liang said.
"Brother Du is probably too excited" Han Zhong smiled, and the others also laughed when they heard this, in fact, everyone is the same.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed," Du Xuan replied with some embarrassment.
The day passed quickly, and around dusk, in the Imperial Garden, Takarashi came here.
Xiang Chi, who was sitting on the recliner, listened to Du Xuan's three people's decision on corruption, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Young people are energetic and not afraid to offend people."
"Then Your Majesty," Gao Liang said in a low voice.
"The record is archived, and the decision is still based on the Zhongshu Province, and I know it in my heart," Xiang Chi said.
"Yes"
"By the way, apart from that, how are the six of them doing today?" Xiang Chi asked.
"They are very attentive and hardworking, even when they go to the toilet, they are pinching the time," Gao Liang appreciated.
"I'm not asking this, I really want to ask you, who do you think is better among them," Xiang Chi said.
"This minister can't see it yet, but judging from today's situation, Du Xuan and they are better at expressing themselves," Gao Liang replied.
"Haha, then continue to observe, in addition to observation, such discussions can be done more, but it is still the old rule, not a word can be left in the notebook, they are far from having the qualifications to write" Xiang Chi commanded solemnly.
"The minister understands"
