Chapter 224: Knock 2
"The anonymous note said that the amount of your monthly embezzlement varies, most of them are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and some are thousands of taels, saying that Xu Liang, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Industry, received a non-fortune, dividends, and a gray income of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, even if Xu Liang really took one hundred and fifty taels of silver, I felt that he took less, Xiao Muzi, and ordered the court monk Xu Liang to write ten thousand taels of silver to subsidize the family,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave has written it down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Xu Qingjia, don't shirk, take the flowers, this is what I rewarded you in front of the civil and military officials, and some people made a fuss about you as an honest man,"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As soon as Xu Liang heard that he had taken one hundred and fifty taels of silver, Zhao Xu knew about it, and immediately used a cold sweat, but Zhao Xu rewarded himself with 10,000 taels of silver in front of hundreds of officials, which shows that in fact, Zhao Xu was still not angry with him, and his heart, which originally mentioned his throat, fell back heavily
"To tell you the truth, I don't believe what is written on this anonymous recital, the ministers of the empire that I rely on, especially those with family backgrounds, and those ministers who hold high dividends from the imperial trading houses, you are not short of money, how can you use your position to seek the interests of the country and the people. So I don't believe in that nonsense at all. Zhao Xu saw that some ministers had begun to wipe their sweat with a towel from their sleeves, but he still pretended not to see it, turned around and continued
"The above also named and said some people, but they are all too fake, let's say, Liu Qing's family, that chapter says that you have a gray improper income of tens of thousands of taels of silver every month, this is definitely not true." Zhao Xu patted Liu Shihai's fat shoulder with a look of disbelief and said. At this time, Liu Shihai was already covered with cold sweat, and the cold sweat was still lying down his fat face
"Your Majesty Mingjian, this, this, this must be someone's slander and slander against Weichen." Liu Shihai trembled all over and said like chaff, he could completely feel his little liver beating rapidly
"I don't believe what the song says, my Liu Aiqing is already in a high position, and her family is rich and rich, how can she take risks for the sake of looting the people's fat and people's ointment, which will kill you." After speaking, Zhao Xu smiled brightly at Liu Shihai, and then patted Liu Shihai's fat shoulders again
"Your Majesty." Liu Shihai said tremblingly
If this is not above the court, I am afraid that Liu Shihai would have been so frightened that he would have spread it directly to the ground. And Zhao Xu turned around, looked at the other major ministries and heavenly officials, and said: "To be honest, I think that it is not a matter to be greedy for a few dollars, these copper-smelling things are not brought in life, and they are not brought in death, even if I let you open your stomach for corruption, how much can you embezzle, in my opinion, officials who take money and do not do practical things for the people are really corrupt, and it is not too much to call them dog officials." Ladies and gentlemen, you are all heroes who shed blood and sweat for the country and the people, and I have the right to treat the small money that I have embezzled as if I don't know about it, you don't have to be nervous, just do your duty well, you must have the people of the world in mind, and don't let down the people's trust in the court. ”
"The ministers will definitely live up to the people and your majesty."
When Zhao Xu said this, basically all of them believed that the performance was true, so at this moment, almost all the ministers present began to wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads. However, Zhao Xu is also very helpless about the greed for money, even if these officials are really corrupt, as long as they can work for the welfare of the people and do not defect to the enemy and treason, then Zhao Xu will never kill them. There are two mouths of officials, if the emperor doesn't feed the mouth above these officials, can they, the officials, work for themselves wholeheartedly?
"Even if the corruption is over, let's not mention it." Hearing this, all the ministers didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and then, Zhao Xu had another wave of insinuations. "It is said that the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory are poor, it is said that it is because their eyes are too bright, they manage too much, and they have offended many ministers, and even some high-ranking officials, so that no one wants to touch them, let alone anyone who can give them gifts, you are so much affecting the atmosphere of unity and friendship among colleagues, however, let me say, this is also another reflection of the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory, who have done this errand of supervising hundreds of officials very well, and I want to be rewarded heavily, From today onwards, the salaries of all the officials and officials of the Imperial History Observatory will be doubled. When Zhao Xu finished saying this, all the ministers present were 100% sure that the anonymous note that the emperor said was true, and he believed it 100%, but all the ministers blamed the CIA for this matter
And Zhao Xu didn't care what his ministers thought, because his purpose today was to beat his own courtiers, the purpose was simple and rude, that is, to tell them that I know all about your corruption and bribery, so you can do it yourself. At the same time, Zhao Xu also made it clear that the mutual gifts between colleagues and the gratitude for helping people do things, these gifts and money, Zhao Xu doesn't care about going back at all, as long as he remembers the people in his heart, don't go to loot the people's fat and ointment, and deliver treason, Zhao Xu, the emperor, will not drip them
After the beating, all the ministers digested Zhao Xu's words for a while, and only then did some ministers gradually report some important matters to Zhao Xu, while more ministers bowed their heads and remained silent because they were afraid that Zhao Xu would suddenly find trouble with them, besides, they didn't have any major events in the first place
Zhao Xu saw that all the ministers had nothing to do, so he glanced at Mu Fengchun, Mu Fengchun took two steps forward in understanding, shook the dust with one hand, and sang loudly: "There is a morning play, and there is no retreat from the dynasty-"
Seeing that all the ministers bowed their heads and were silent, Zhao Xu had no choice but to say, "Since all of you have nothing to report to me, then retreat from the court." After speaking, Zhao Xu hemmed his pocket, got off the Dan Majesty, and went to the ear room next to the Golden Palace
"Retreat—"
"Ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." (To be continued.) )
