Chapter 397: Lonely Minister
The next day, thousands of miles away, in the territory of Dashun, in the imperial palace of Chang'an City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This day is a regular dynasty, and before the end of the day, Lu Chengqi is about to get up. Under the service of the palace maid, he put on a dragon gon, put on a crown of heaven, wore a black hat on his feet, and then put on a light makeup, with Lu Chengqi's sparse beard deliberately raised, he really has the majesty of an emperor.
This dragon robe is very exquisite, consisting of a silk robe, a knee cover, a square heart curved collar, a crown to the sky, and a black robe. Dashun restored the system of the Han Dynasty, and also adopted red as the background color of the dragon robe. The nine five-clawed golden dragons on the dragon robe are also very regular, embroidered one on the chest and one on the back, one on the left and right shoulders and one on the back of the knee, and one embroidered on the placket.
Why is the dragon robe embroidered with nine dragons? Because the ancient emperors were influenced by the "Zhou Yi" and advocated the "Ninety-Five Supreme". In "Yi Qian", it is said: "In the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adult." That is to say, this dragon has flown to the sky and reached the highest level, which means that the emperor is the supreme being. It is also because of this that the numbers nine and five are often used in royal buildings, furniture, living containers, etc.
This dragon robe is made of the best silk Jilihu silk as the warp and weft of the dragon robe, and it is stipulated that no one except the royal family can use this kind of silk. The workmanship of the dragon robe is made of silk, and the specific name is "even the warp and weft", which cannot be used by non-high-ranking officials.
In addition to the red court clothes, the regular clothes of the emperor of Dashun are composed of purple, vermilion, yellow, black, Chu color, etc., some embroidered with dragons, and some stainless dragons. Anyway, Lu Chengqi's favorite thing is the purple regular clothes of the stainless dragon, so that he can pay a private visit at any time.
After sighing in his heart for royal luxury, this cumbersome dressing and makeup was finally done. Surrounded by the strong chamberlain Zhang Wu's umbrella cover and the four palace maids holding four fans, Lu Chengqi slowly entered the Daqing Hall and walked straight to his dragon chair amid the sound of music. After Lu Chengqi sat down, the personal little eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "The emperor has arrived, and the hundred officials have entered the palace to meet the court!" ā
Only then did the hundred officials dare to enter, and the Beijing officials who were less than five grades could only wait outside the Daqing Palace. After the hundred officials were arranged in order, the personal little eunuch shouted again: "The hundred officials pay homage to the emperor!" ā
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The hundred officials said in unison, and at the same time bowed deeply to Lu Chengqi, almost breaking his waist.
Lu Chengqi was already surprised, and said with a full heart: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!" ā
Hearing this, the hundred officials dared to raise their heads. Lu Chengqi asked again: "Do you have something important to play?" ā
As soon as the words fell, Li Ran resolutely came out of the imperial history, and Lu Chengqi saw that it was him again, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. Li Ran held the Chao Wat with a dignified attitude and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do. ā
Lu Chengqi shirked it, but he was really afraid of this old stubbornness. In desperation, he had to say: "Quasi-play!" ā
In these days, Li Ran seems to have pinpointed Lu Chengqi's weakness. He is not going to impeach officials one by one, but to state some facts. It's just that how these facts came about, Lu Chengqi is very skeptical. After Li Ran finished speaking, he would summon Xu Jingchun, director of the Supervision Department, and ask him to investigate.
It's okay not to check, but it's really greasy to check. I have to say that in addition to working for the country, Li Ran, an old stubborn, is still very attentive. But always summoning Xu Jingchun so often will always elevate the status of the Supervision Department, and Lu Chengqi doesn't want the Supervision Department to become another Jinyiwei or something. Originally, although the Supervision Department led the post of military attache from the fourth rank, and it was a real position, it did not have the power of the previous dynasty. Now in order to avoid trouble, Lu Chengqi asked Xu Jingchun to go to the court, and the main job is that once it involves the affairs of various provinces, after Xu Jingchun remembers it in his heart, he will send someone to spy when he goes back. After getting the exact news, he returned to Lu Chengqi. This is something that only the Inspectorate can do.
Xu Jingchun saw that Li Ran, who was his main concern, had already come out of the queue to play the right, and hurriedly concentrated. If Lu Chengqi can't wait for his secret report in the future, I'm afraid he will be scolded by Xuanjin Vertical Arch Hall again. In the eyes of others, this is something that cannot be sought, but it is not a good thing for Xu Jingchun, a lonely minister.
At present, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee do not regard the Supervision Department as a thorn in their side. However, he was afraid of the power of the little emperor, so he didn't dare to show it too much. It's just that during the last dynasty, even military officials subconsciously separated themselves from Xu Jingchun for a distance. These small actions, Lu Chengqi, who is high up, can see them clearly. He didn't say anything, originally he wanted Xu Jingchun to be a lonely minister, if it wasn't for a lonely minister, he wouldn't dare to use it!
Li Ranke didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, but said loudly: "The minister heard a news yesterday that on the east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many unscrupulous businessmen and local officials who collude to evade business taxes. This matter is related to the stability of the national system, if it is not treated, I am afraid that this filthy official will harm Dashun! I hope Your Majesty will see it! ā
Lu Chengqi was a little surprised, Li Ran has never cared about commercial taxes, and once said that valuing business will inevitably lead to a lot of maladministration in the country. But why is it that today it is suddenly played for business?
Speaking of which, Xu Jingchun and Li Ran are the same kind of people, and in Lu Chengqi's eyes, they are both lonely ministers. Lonely ministers are good, they don't form parties for personal gain, and they are easy to use. It's just that they are not popular in the DPRK and China, and it is difficult to ask them to do great things.
Lu Chengqi's thoughts just flashed in his heart, and he said, "Then according to Li Qing's meaning, what should I do?" ā
Li Ran said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is caused by the unreasonable official system of my Dashun. ā
Lu Chengqi was a little surprised: "Oh, Li Qing, let's talk about it." ā
"Your Majesty, the officials of the road government in various places are all hired by the chief officials of the yamen. Except for the hereditary arrest of the first person, the rest are all chief of staff. According to the minister's knowledge, these filthy officials are all local villagers. As for my Dashun release officials, my term of office is only three or five years. Even if the chief official leaves, the official will continue to do it. They are familiar with the rules and regulations of the yamen, various articles, customs and customs, etc. If this official is a good official, the territory of Dashun will naturally be peaceful. But if this official is a filthy official, he embezzles people's land, forges tax books, steals taxes and other crimes! As a result, the people's grievances must be great. And the chief official of the yamen is not a local citizen, if this corrupt official does not cooperate with the governance side, it will form the chief official is hollowed out, and the official takes power, where is the imperial power? The minister implored His Majesty to make up his mind to rectify the rule of officials and return the Qingming officialdom! ā
Li Ran's righteous appearance, Lu Chengqi also rarely faced his opinion, paused for a while, and then said slowly: "What do you think?" (To be continued.) )
