Chapter 883: Guilty Plea
As Lu Chengqi expected, after Cai Jing's case came out, within two days, his dragon case was already full of pleas. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They all thought, the law doesn't blame the people, everyone else has done it, and if I don't do it, won't I suffer a big loss? Even if you have to settle the account, everyone will calculate it together. Besides, I'm not the only one who has done this, so maybe the Holy One will not be punished if there are too many people!
In fact, they all overestimate themselves, and in Dashun, the most important thing is people who want to be officials.
Now that the imperial examination is held every two years, there are still 1.8 million people who come to take the examination, just to compete for the thousands of official places. And most of them are nerds who don't distinguish between grains and grains, and their limbs are not diligent, so they want to be officials. Even if they are lucky, they are afraid that they will have to go back and forth from the tenth rank official to the seventh rank official for a lifetime.
No matter what era, those who have the ability can always climb up; Those who are incapable can only stand still, or even regress.
Under this premise, Lu Chengqi is still afraid that no one wants to be an official?
Even if the current high-ranking officials are replaced, there will be no problem with the entire Dashun!
The real work is done by the ten officials, and these high-ranking officials are just pointing fingers, and laymen are leading insiders. It doesn't hurt to change, it's just that Lu Chengqi will have a reputation for being mean and unkind.
Anyway, Lu Chengqi's harshness towards officials has already made him famous all over the world, and he doesn't care about the reputation of being "mean and unkind".
Feng Jing, the new head assistant of the cabinet, has a headache, and has received more than 1,000 requests for guilt in the past two days, and the cabinet has been working overtime to complete the votes.
No, he asked people to hold a large stack of folds again: "Your Majesty, there is another request for a guilty fold to be handed over." ā
Lu Chengqi said lightly: "Put it aside, these people, they should be beaten and beaten, otherwise they will all go to the house to uncover the tiles!" ā
Listening to the emperor's profound ridicule, Feng Jing didn't dare to answer casually, but said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Cai Jing's case has caused a lot of shock, and it is not good if it hurts the national body, I don't know how Your Majesty will deal with it?" ā
"What else can be done? To be honest, I have a list of the Supervision Department, and the evidence is conclusive. Within a time limit of half a month, those who do not petition for guilt on their own will be dismissed. Lu Chengqi said indifferently.
Feng Jing was shocked in his heart, in the end, it was a ruthless emperor who cut off the heads of more than 200 corrupt officials without blinking an eye, and the way to deal with it was really simple and rude. "That'...... What about those who have already pleaded guilty? ā
Lu Chengqi put down the brush, looked at the cautious Feng Jing, and suddenly smiled: "This is easier to do, the officials sent officials to Annan Prefecture before, and they pushed back one by one, saying that Annan Prefecture is located in a remote area, full of miasma, infested with fierce beasts, and they are not satisfied with the water and soil, so they can't resign, even if they go, most of them are ten-rank officials, just to seek promotion." After confiscating the illegal gains, these criminal officials were arranged to Annan Prefecture in one go, and the Ministry of Officials and the Supervision Department evaluated each other, and those who did not reach the good level must not be repatriated to the Central Plains! ā
Feng Jing had to say that this move was indeed ruthless. The so-called thousands of miles to be an official are just for food, drink and clothing. If these officials are confiscated of their property, and then their officials are dismissed, how will they know how to make a living? Still don't obediently govern Annan Prefecture properly, and don't dare to have a half-point difference? Lu Chengqi's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only punishing bad officials and businessmen, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but also solving the problem of Annan Prefecture by the way, high, really high! Feng Jing looked at Lu Chengqi's eyes with a hint of awe.
If it was Lu Chengqi before, he would never have such a wrist.
Corrupt officials? Malfeasance?
In the past, Lu Chengqi thought that it was better to slaughter it with one sword, so as not to waste food.
But now Lu Chengqi realizes that even if it is a wooden stick, a piece of waste paper, or a piece of dirty clothes, it has its usefulness, let alone a living person!
It is good that these officials are insatiable, but they are not without merit. At least take advantage of their psychology of wanting to continue to be officials, and it is worth squeezing their value to the greatest extent. In fact, these officials are not bad in terms of means and experience, but they are unwilling to endure hardships. Think about it, I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and once I was famous all over the world, where would I go back to the bitter days of eating bran vegetables before?
How hard you lived before, how distorted your personality was, how crazy and extravagant you are now.
Human nature is like a spring, the tighter you press, the greater the rebound. Faced with the temptation of the world of flowers, not everyone is Megumi Yanagishita.
Employing people based on human nature is the truth that Lu Chengqi has realized in recent years.
Feng Jing nodded silently and said, "Your Majesty's move is very pleasing to the people, it is really the best policy......
"Don't be a sycophant, is there anything else important besides this? If not, the first assistant will go to the cabinet to be on duty, and I will still review the recital! ā
Feng Jing saw that Lu Chengqi was indeed quite busy, and he couldn't help but admire. Many emperors were lazy, so they gave their close ministers the opportunity to be in power. If the emperor is diligent in his administration, where will these close ministers have the opportunity to become powerful ministers? However, there are more diligent emperors, but the emperors who are diligent and know how to be lazy are the only ones in front of them. The original cabinet is equivalent to finding more than a dozen secretaries to help him deal with political affairs and give advice. If it's a trivial matter, Lu Chengqi doesn't have to pay attention to it at all, anyway, the opinions in the cabinet will be unified. If it is a big event, the cabinet will not be able to do it accurately, so he will have to make his emperor. If you can't even get Lu Chengqi's plan, you will finally put it forward in the regular court, hold a court meeting, and vote on it unanimously.
Rao is like this, Lu Chengqi's daily review of the recitals is one person high, and it also depends on the classical Chinese of those who are very good. Fortunately, he found a way, the general twists and turns, the beginning and the end are nonsense, just look at the general content in the middle. This cabinet was also drawn out by the way, and even helped Lu Chengqi break the sentence and draw a sentence to read.
In this way, Lu Chengqi's work efficiency has been greatly improved. However, the territory is too big and the twists and turns are too big, Lu Chengqi is already a little unbearable, and he needs someone to hammer his shoulders and loosen his back every day.
"It's all an occupational disease!"
Lu Chengqi has expressed such feelings more than once.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has a matter." Feng Jing said seriously.
"Oh? Let's hear about ......."
Lu Chengqi stood up and moved twice, sitting for too long, his shoulders and lumbar spine would hurt a little.
"Recently, there are Great Qin businessmen who have crossed the ocean and set foot in Chang'an, wanting to meet His Majesty......" Feng Jing knew that the so-called Great Qin was thousands of miles away, next to an ocean called the Mediterranean.
"Poof!!"
Lu Chengqi just picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when he heard this, he almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.
"What, the Western Europeans arrived in the Central Plains?"
Feng Jing was a little surprised: "Your Majesty seems to be surprised, they did go to the Central Plains, and even to Chang'an, and the minister has already arranged a post house for them to stay." ā
Lu Chengqi asked nervously, "How did they get here?" (To be continued.) )
