In the same way, the political situation in Annan has become unbelievably corrupted, and it is possible to control the situation by relying solely on the troops, but if there is not enough administrative force to intervene, the political situation here will become more and more chaotic.

The separation of military and government allows both sides to exert their maximum power in their respective industries.

Although it seems to increase the number of officials on the surface, it is worth the effort in terms of work efficiency and achievements.

Never before in history has anything like this happened in a region.

Of course, no one knows whether there is one or not, because there is no record in history, and it is impossible for a court to put so much effort into doing this.

As the saying goes, the law does not hold the public accountable, and similar incidents, at most, are to deal with some major figures, and the rest are warnings or dismissals within a time limit.

But there are not many cases that have really done it, and there are even very few cases where a large number of main characters have been handled, and the reason is naturally because of the family.

Officials are from the family, or they are the spokesmen of the family, and before that, the family could not compromise with the court so easily.

Headache!

In addition to a headache or a headache!

Although he was prepared, when he really learned about these things and how wide the scope was involved this time, Li Daozong's heart still trembled a little.

Of course, although Li Daozong has the power to deal with it, but in the same way, the case is serious, and he does not dare to deal with this matter lightly.

The original plan could only be put on hold for a while, on the one hand, it was necessary to mobilize manpower, and on the other hand, it was necessary to wait for the reply of the imperial court.

This time, the stakes are very high, so Li Daozong did not take the regular, most labor-saving way to report the news, if you take a boat to transfer to a train, it will take nearly 20 days each way, one back and forth, a month and a half without it.

Li Daozong used his status as governor this time to send someone to Leizhou by boat, and then sent the letter out in an expedited manner of 800 miles through the post station in Leizhou.

The 800-mile rush is just a code name, but in fact it does not refer to just 800 miles, but to all post stations, and the letters must be sent to the next post station as quickly as possible and without delay.

Chang'an, which is 3,000 miles away in a straight line, received this urgent letter from Leizhou for 800 miles on the fifth day.

In history, since Li Yuanji reformed the post station system, this is the second time that there has been an eight-hundred-mile expedited situation.

For the first time, when Li Jing and Su Dingfang's army broke through Tibet, the 800-mile urgent letter was sent to deliver the news of this great victory.

Maybe it's been too long, so when the people on the road see the messenger, they are often curious, but no matter how you look at it, there is an idea that can be sure that something big has happened.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that after receiving the news, Li Yuanji just summoned the ministers to talk about it, and then replied directly to Li Daozong.

Yes, this time Li Yuanji did not solicit the opinions of the ministers, but just told them about this matter, and then prepared for it, regardless of whether they knew about it.

……

'Yes! ’

Seeing this one-word reply, Li Daozong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that in this matter, Li Yuanji will not interfere too much, just one word, and nothing else, that is to say, how to operate later, just follow Li Daozong's wishes, and the court will cooperate.

What was Li Daozong's idea?

Quite simply, there are too many people involved this time, and the problem of anti-corruption is particularly serious, which does not mean that a person can stay out of the matter if he wants to.

In addition, some people deliberately blocked the news, and many low-level officials did not know about it at all, so it was impossible to talk about the matter of handing over illegal gains later.

Li Daozong's suggestion is to put aside these officials who are only involved in corruption for the time being, and give priority to concentrating on those officials who participated in the 'coup' before arresting them.

To cure a disease, it is much easier to get rid of the rotten roots, and then to solve the problems on the outside.

Therefore, Li Daozong's method is only a few steps.

First, officials from the surrounding areas were secretly mobilized into Annan to stand by, and then the 19th Army was dispatched to directly arrest the people, while the officials mobilized from these other places immediately took up their posts to investigate.

After that, on the one hand, the arrested officials were examined, and on the other hand, the seized court documents were published, and then everything went into normal.

But true normality is unlikely, and it will take time to recover.

But the general meaning is that in next year's imperial examination, Annan will be allocated more places, and as much as possible, some foreign officials will be allowed to serve here.

By complicating this staff, these problems can be avoided.

Of course, this method is not very mature, and it is not easy to experiment in other places, so it just so happens that the erosion of Annan is going to be torn down and restarted, so it is more suitable.

"Aren't you afraid of problems with such a big movement?" Li Daliang asked with a wry smile.

"There is no way to go wrong, the situation here is already very bad, and the real situation is far more complicated than what the old man told you, if it weren't for the fact that more officials could not be mobilized here for a while, just this time, the old man would have to get rid of more than ninety percent of the officials in the Annan officialdom." Li Daozong said viciously.

The messages came and went, and the time delayed in Chang'an, on the evening of the ninth day, Li Daozong received a reply from the imperial court.

At the same time, Li Daliang, the commander of the 19th Army, also received a secret order from His Majesty, and a notification from the Ministry of War, asking the 19th Army to cooperate with Li Daozong's actions.

Li Daliang and Li Daozong are no strangers, the two worked together when they were in the expedition to Tuyuhun, but this cooperation was only in the rear, and they did not cooperate much on the battlefield.

After that, Li Daozong had been working in the position of Yongzhou Zhizhong for seven years, while Li Daliang first worked in the local army for a year, and then began to set up a mobile force.

The Nineteenth Army was not formed by Li Daliang, Li Daliang formed the Ninth Army stationed in Yanzhou, but unfortunately, after the formation of the troops, Li Daliang only stayed in the position of commander of the Ninth Army for one year.

Then he was transferred to the commander of the 19th Army, of course, there was not only one Li Daliang who was transferred, all the commanders of the mobile army were transferred, and half of the high-level garrisons in various places were also transferred, and the remaining half was also transferred in the next year.

Although he has been here for four years, Li Daliang has always kept in touch with these old friends.

"If we move, Nanzhao and Zhenla will not be able to sit still." Li Daliang reminded.
