"What is the root of corruption?" Li Yuanji and Li Chengguang sat on the same bed and patiently explained.

They guessed right, the three governors, a large part of their responsibilities are to go down and arrest people.

There were not many corruption phenomena in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not without it, it was the same in every era, where there were people, there were rivers and lakes, and where there were rivers and lakes, there was corruption.

This is indeed the case in the Tang Dynasty in history, but in the later period, in the Song Dynasty, corrupt officials and corruption have completely surfaced, and they don't even care about their own face, and everything is on par with money.

What is the reason for this?

Li Yuanji didn't dare to say that he understood everything, but at least he had thought about many of the problems that had arisen, and he had also thought about how to change them.

"Is it a change in people's hearts?" Li Chengguang responded with some vague understanding.

Since the beginning of this year, Li Chengguang can clearly feel that the pressure on his body is getting bigger and bigger, and as he gets older, the avoidance of some questions has gradually disappeared.

Today, the issue of corruption, which has never been mentioned before, is very serious, although it was not much before, but every court is strictly guarding against it.

No one can ignore this issue, but Lee Seung-kwang hasn't touched on it yet, after all, it's just a thirteen-year-old child.

Li Yuanji shook his head: "It's the environment!" ”

"In the past, the Tang Dynasty was poor and white, it can be said that there was nothing to want, and the officials were deeply influenced by Confucianism, and they were not willing to ruin their reputation and future for that little money. But now it's different, the environment of the Tang Dynasty has changed, to put it mildly, there is still a lot of money, I have built a lot of infrastructure, the imperial court has invested a lot of projects, as ordinary people, they have made money, and as officials in charge of these constructions, they have not gained anything except fame.

Watching people eat and drink spicy food, but they can only guard the meals in the bowl, after a long time, everyone will have some ideas. ”

"If Confucianism can be restricted, why should my father restrict the development of Confucianism?" Li Chengguang asked puzzled.

Since he can remember, Confucianism has begun to fall, a large school, was forced to suppress by Li Yuanji, originally he thought that Confucianism was not working, but now it seems that it is not like that.

Li Yuanji is still very strict about the restrictions of Confucianism, but now, he has affirmed Confucianism so much, isn't this inconsistent?

"If I approve of some things of Confucianism, but I also don't approve of some things of Confucianism, it's like a cabinet, if there is only one minister in the cabinet, then what is the difference between him and me? Moreover, the role of Confucianism is far more serious than that. And vice versa? The Academy of Sciences is a collection of hundreds of schools in one, although it seems that the sects are complicated, but the achievements are also obvious, if it were not for the Confucian suppression of other hundreds of schools of thought for thousands of years, the Tang Dynasty now has it, I am afraid that it has been there hundreds of years ago.

No matter what, the dominance of one family is always the worst outcome. Li Yuanji explained and analyzed with various cases.

Li Chengguang also fell into deep thought, Li Yuanji's words obviously had a great impact on him.

Where are the roots of corruption?

The suppression of Confucianism, or in other words, the suppression of Confucianism is only the beginning, despite the current situation, but the suppression of Confucianism still cannot be reduced in any way, this is a national policy, and it is inevitable.

The history of thousands of years has proved to the world that Confucianism cannot be allowed to dominate.

Since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been dominant for nearly a thousand years, during which the dynasties have changed continuously, and the personnel have changed one after another, but Confucianism is still the same Confucianism.

It's not that Confucianism is useless, but for the emperor, for an emperor who has ideas, such Confucianism is obviously not in the interests of the emperor.

Because if you really count it, Confucianism is the biggest winner of the real inheritance of thousands of years, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who determined the status of Confucianism, his Han Dynasty has disappeared for hundreds of years.

The suppression of Confucianism was only the beginning, and then there was a change in the environment, the imperial court decided to develop the economy, implemented various reform methods, and a large number of projects were put into it, which inevitably required a lot of investment.

And there are so many things, there are always omissions, and some people are eyeing this piece.

Governor, why did Li Yuanji set up the position of governor? And such a high-ranking patrol officer?

Speaking of which, it is because the current Datang has already shown signs of corruption.

It happened last year, a idle and boring, a whimsical, a supervisor who wanted to be promoted, wanted to be crazy about political performance, and made a crazy move, no, it should be said that he made a very unreliable move.

But it was precisely because of this very unreliable move that such a case was uncovered.

The scale of the case was not large, but in the end, the case went straight to heaven and attracted the attention of Li Yuanji, so much so that he paid attention to it to send three cabinet ministers as inspectors to inspect various places.

And how much power does the governor have?

Just look at Li Yuanji's preparations, a battalion of forbidden army attendants, a ninety-seven person disposal team, the disposal team includes ten martial marquis, five evidence collection officials, four investigation officials, ten court martial marquis, and a complete court with a total number of sixty-eight people.

That is to say, no matter where this court is, they are a complete court, from the beginning of the case to the verdict, all the processes and steps in the middle, they can complete it alone, and this scale is exactly the same as a county court, except that there is an additional five-person overseer team, responsible for inquiring about the case, questioning questions, and at the same time, the verdict of the case must be recognized by the five overseers before it can be considered effective, otherwise it can only be retried.

In addition, there is a 32-person Governor's Division, which can be seen as a member of the working group that follows the Governor, responsible for coordinating the normal development of various places, coordinating cases, and so on.

As for the Governor, he does not participate in the review of cases, but when an outside force begins to intervene, the Governor has to stand up and push it back.

A governor with the status of a cabinet minister stood up and said this, and the weight is still very high.

Some people will say that this is an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, because the value of the case itself is not enough for the imperial court to engage in such a big battle.

Because the supervisor found out that although it was corruption, the funds involved were not large.

It's very simple, and the facts of the case are very simple, it happened on a railway construction site.

The supervisor did not find out who was involved, he was mixed in as a worker, and naturally belonged to the most basic labor force, and he could not get in touch with such a high level of things.

And there is no obvious evidence now, but the other party is very sure that what he has seen with his own eyes is the common behavior of enriching his own pockets on the railway construction site, because the construction site is to record the work, and the truck is to record the number of times, and every time he goes back and forth, he will give a certificate.

He found that some of the trucks would come to the construction site again after dark, but these trucks were empty and did not unload, but they received the certificate of work as normal.

The problem is that trucks travel between the factory and the construction site, and if you want to keep track of work, there is a corresponding process to follow.

Entering the factory, loading, recording, getting the factory certificate, and then going to the construction site, handing over the factory certificate, unloading to check the quantity, and then receiving the work certificate, this is a complete set of processes.

But there is no goods in the car, but I received this certificate, so where did the goods in the car go?

The supervisor had been observing for a month and found that this was a common phenomenon, and it happened every day, but the number of them was not very much, sometimes there were only one or two trucks, sometimes only one, almost every day, except when the weather was bad.

They are enriching their pockets in the way of ants moving, and these people are very cautious, Li Yuanji once secretly sent someone to observe, found that the supervisor's report is true, and asked people to check the billing records, all the records are normal, and the factory and the construction site can be matched.

Therefore, the phenomenon of enriching one's own pockets can be very certain, because it is the conclusion reached after the observation of two different groups of people.

So, Li Yuanji was angry, this situation happened on the construction site, so is this situation also in other places?

This is the purpose of his establishment of the governor, anti-corruption, relying solely on local efforts is far from enough, the imperial court must use a heavy fist, with the power of thunder to quickly destroy this unhealthy trend, and then warn others at the same time, Li Yuanji is also ready for the next step.

Again, anti-corruption cannot be done by relying on the imperial court, but by the joint efforts of everyone.

This group refers to everyone, not a single governor, court, or locality, which includes officials, people, and anyone.

But how do you get people involved? It's a technical job.

But for Li Yuanji, it is not difficult.

One reward and one punishment, there are naturally more people involved, but Li Yuanji is not in a hurry to take out this method, and he must wait until the end of the first stage before he can take it out.

Of course, for some people, this is a reasonable opportunity to make a fortune, but there are also risks, as for how to control it, it all depends on personal opinions, anyway, Li Yuanji is supportive, and at the same time he is ready for everything.

"Anti-corruption! Is it difficult? It is not difficult, it is not difficult because of the obstruction of vested interest groups, and it is not difficult for the determination of the imperial court......" Li Yuanji said lightly.

As for the familiar anti-corruption cases, Li Yuanji admits that the results are very good, but if you carefully analyze them, you will find that some of them are greasy, but in fact, they are more 'non-vested interest groups'.
