When you open the ancient history, you can see a thick history of vicissitudes, the rise and fall of dynasties, and these topics that every dynasty cannot do without, such as wars, conspiracies, corruption, etc.

In order to consolidate the rule of the dynasty, most of the founding monarchs were wiser, could learn from the lessons of the decline of the previous dynasty, and tried their best to fight corruption and corruption, but history is the history of people, and politics is also the need for the rule of the feudal dynasty to make personal changes, and the system left by the ancestors began to loosen in the hands of the successors.

There are also many differences in the governance of the government, some are vigorously anti-corruption, and some are greedy to govern corruption, such as Yuwentai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and some favor corrupt officials. In different historical periods, different emperors have given different meanings to greed. It is too difficult for courtiers who have great merit and are incorruptible in their hands to be high-spirited, and they have to protect themselves by corruption in the face of a life-and-death contest with the emperor's boss.

Actually, it's also normal!

Take Xiao He of the Han Dynasty as an example, Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Gao, was suspicious by nature, after Xiao He used a strategy to get rid of Han Xin, Liu Bang rewarded him, Yingbu rebelled, Liu Bang drove the expedition in person, and the old rule was to let Xiao He raise grain and grass to solve his worries.

At this time, although Liu Bang asked Xiao He to do the old errand, he was not at ease, and sent a secret envoy to check Xiao He's every move in Hanzhong, and the secret envoy came back to report that Xiao He was deeply popular with the people and was very sympathetic to the people's feelings.

A doorman reminded Xiao He: "You are about to come to a catastrophe, the emperor thinks that you have won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, and is afraid that your reputation will surpass him, and you will seek to usurp the throne in the future, why don't you hurry up and do something bad to destroy your reputation and eliminate the emperor's doubts?" ”

Xiao He suddenly realized, so he collected taxes from the people indiscriminately, and even the people stopped the emperor to tell Xiao He. When Liu Bang found out, he smiled and asked him to apologize to the people himself. is equivalent to the recognition of innocence, and then Xiao He's official will become bigger and bigger in the future.

And Tang Taizu Li Yuan is the same, when he was still working for Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he liked to make friends with heroes in the world, which was naturally suspicious of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Li Yuan knew that he began to panic every day, so he began to drink and have fun without restraint, accept bribes, and embezzle money, which made Emperor Yang of Sui no longer suspect Li Yuan, and later promoted him to the general of the Right Xiaowei.

In the end, the world of the Yang family was returned to the Li family.

Zhao Ji is not as good as Liu Bang or Yang Guang, but in terms of tolerating corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he can definitely fight with the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, there would not be the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty!

At this time, Zhu Zilong was silent, but the officials were very calm when they saw it.

Even Uncle Zhang in the clear stream did not have any fluctuations in his heart when he was in the team. Because he knew that Zhu Zilong's embezzlement in those evidences was not so much spontaneous. It is better to say that it is the current comrade emperor who wants to take the big head, so he secretly allows Zhu Zilong to take part of the subtext.

Moreover, the officials and clans who take this kind of money are by no means the only ones in Zhu Zilong.

I'm afraid that in the entire court, there are no people who take this kind of money, and the prince is the only one. It is also said that the position of the crown prince is too hard, because he is not an emperor, so he must strive to be a quasi-emperor, and he must act with a virtuous name and integrity as the criterion.

Therefore, he is obviously poor and wants to die, but he still has to pretend to be serious. What's more, the prince's personality is really a little disgusted with corrupt officials.

At this moment, a trace of helplessness flashed on Zhao Ji's face on the dragon chair. Looking at the crown prince, I thought to myself that you want to be a saint in the future, that's your business. However, my second prince and other ministers are only doing things for me, so they should naturally take advantage of this.

What's more, there are many benefits in this, which people should have taken in the first place, and if I took it, it could be regarded as another kind of corruption. How to punish crimes?

Do you even rule with yourself, the emperor?

When did the prince hate it so much, really.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji frowned, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "It's no wonder that Ta'er is this matter, the division and creation of many wonderful things are actually voluntarily dedicated to the court. He is dedicated to the consideration of the court, and I can't let Zhongliang and his son chill. Therefore, such things are not corruption, but rewards! The prince doesn't need to say much about this. I know it in my heart! ”

Perhaps over the years, the emperor's practice of protecting corrupt officials has not been once or twice. Just look at Gao Yanei's family, so far, the prince has not been able to remove any of them. So the fourth charge was actually added by him.

The henchmen and officials of the East Palace actually didn't think it would be of much use. At the moment, I could only sigh again, but I was not disappointed.

At the moment, the prince thought that his temptation today was not completely ineffective, and said: "In this case, it is the son's ministers who acted too violently today, and they have not considered it, and I ask my father to punish the sons." Make fewer mistakes! ”

The word wrong in this sentence, the prince is very heavy on the spoken language.

The prince's behavior is not wrong, and the emperor has no intention of doing too much, he just wants to make peace.

So, Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "That's it, a little misunderstanding, but I can't blame you." The official can talk about state affairs, and the prince can naturally do it, it's all within his own affairs, don't care! ”

As he spoke, the emperor looked at Zhu Zilong again and continued: "But then again, when Ta'er is standing up repeatedly, I naturally want to reward and punish clearly. There is also a reward for meritorious service, and from today on, Tamura will also serve as the already vacant Zuo Shilang of the household department. For the purpose of its banking affairs, there are also thousands of acres of land in the suburbs of Huangzhuang. In order to add to the merits of today. ”

"Thank you, Father Huang Longen!" Zhu Zilong replied surprisingly quickly, singing and joining the emperor on the throne.

As long as you are not a fool, you can guess that this is the two of them singing a double reed.

Although there were many people at the scene frowning, including the prince, but without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhao Ji was rarely decisive, and the eunuch on the side opened his mouth again and again:

“…… Liu Zhishi, the prefect of Shandong, has made meritorious contributions to the charity, and has been promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials......"

"Huai'an prefect Sima is in the sky, and he has made meritorious contributions, and he is promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry......"

“…… Luo Changjiang, the prefect of Jinan, has made meritorious contributions to the relief and has been promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites......"

“……”

So many people have been promoted to squire, and some of them are still the honorary title of part-time job, which has interrupted many people's train of thought at the moment. 's attention to Zhu Zilong also dropped a lot, and they all thought and speculated.

Maybe some appointments will eventually change, and not all of them will be implemented. But the thoughts revealed by the emperor are worthy of careful analysis and analysis.

For a while, all kinds of wills were issued one after another, making the voices of hundreds of officials discuss into a buzz.

Such a large-scale official change was not notified in advance before. In other words, it is rare that most officials are not prepared. It's a little weird!
