Chapter 192 Anti-Corruption General Mobilization

This is the first time I have been absent from the court meeting for no reason, although there have been cases of the Queen Mother thanking me for the Qing Dynasty and my arrival in the court, but it was all on a business trip, not like this time, because I had a strange dream at night.

It was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon when I slowly got up.

After I finished washing, Quan Jiu looked at me a little strangely and said, "The spirit of the official family seems to be much stronger than yesterday." ”

"Really?" I looked in the bronze mirror, but I didn't see any change.

Xiao Qi asked on the side: "The official family, Lord Lu, Lord Zhao has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, when will the official family go?" ”

"Go now." I am reminded that today I have to review the code of conduct for officials drafted by Zhao Shunsun.

The code drafted by Zhao Shunsun was very comprehensive, and I had already discussed it with Zhao Shunsun and Lu Xiufu halfway through, so today I simply reviewed it, and asked Zhao Shunsun to publish it in the name of the Government Council after he returned, and prepare to send it to the courtiers at the court meeting in the Ming Dynasty.

After the two of them left, I said, "Xiao Qi, call Yuan Jian and go to the martial arts hall." ”

In the martial arts hall, I told Yuan Jian about the aura in my body, of course, the reason for this is that I only said that I accidentally discovered it after waking up today.

Yuan Jian listened and said: "Your Majesty, let the ministers take the pulse for Your Majesty." ”

I held out my hand and said, "Okay." ”

"Although the breath is weak, it is pure and extensive, this shadowless trick is really wonderful, and it is worthy of being a peerless study in Longhu Mountain." Yuan Thorn didn't understand why I suddenly formed this aura in my body, so I had to attribute it to the magic of the Shadowless Technique.

Following the footwork of the shadowless step, I tried to walk it again, but nothing worked.

"Why didn't it work?"

"Maybe the breath in Your Majesty's body is not strong enough, as long as Your Majesty persists, it will definitely have an effect." Yuan Jian smiled, "Your Majesty, your state seems to have changed a little today. ”

"What do you say, sir?"

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, when the minister first saw His Majesty, he felt that His Majesty's body was full of yin energy, and there was also a lot of anger in his expression, since His Majesty ascended the throne, his spirit and spirit have been refreshed, and now I look at it again, the anger between His Majesty's eyebrows has completely disappeared."

"Really? I don't feel it. ”

"Your Majesty's feeling to the ministers now is that if the heart is big, everything can be small."

A big heart and a small heart refer to a person who is broad-minded and can handle everything with confidence.

When I came out of Ning Qian Palace, I didn't care about Quan Jiu's words, but now, Yuan Jian also has this opinion, I can't help but think of last night's adventure, it seems that I have gained a lot of benefits from it, but this process is too mysterious, it is better not to appear again.

In the evening, I saw Wen Tianxiang's flying pigeon biography in the Shifeng Trading Bank, because of the use of cipher communication, so it was concise and to the point: the minister has dealt with the matter, that is, he said to return to Beijing, and Wen Zhang was injured, but there is no major problem, and the details will be reported to His Majesty after returning to Beijing.

I told Yuan Jian the content, and Yuan Jian was also shocked after hearing it, with Wen Zhang's martial arts, he would be injured: "There should be a hidden secret in this matter, and I will ask in detail after Lord Wen returns to Beijing." ”

"Well, it can only be like this, fortunately, the matter has been dealt with, and Wenzhang is fine."

In this era, it was really troublesome to have no telephone, but the telephone was not like a musket, and it could be built with all your might, but the invention of the telephone had no chance at all in the last years of the Song Dynasty.

It's good to be an emperor! You don't have to take a day off if you're absent from work, I thought about it during the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I am holding in my hand is a trial copy of the Code of Conduct for Officials of the DPRK published by the Government Council, Xiao Qi."

"The little ones are here."

"Send this code to all the people in your palace."

Today's Xiao Qi is also very different, such a trivial matter does not need to go down to the palace in person, just move his mouth, and the little eunuch behind will send the code to all the courtiers one by one.

"From now on, this code will become the standard of conduct for officials of our DPRK." I said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, after more than 300 years of the Song Dynasty, I have accumulated more and more bad habits. Among them, the bad habit is the problem of official corruption, and this phenomenon is getting worse and worse, and this is the problem that I want to talk about today. At present, the officialdom has become a potential rule of our officialdom, and if this bad habit is not eradicated, let alone ZTE, even whether the giant ship of my Great Song Dynasty can last for a long time is a question. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. What water is, is the people's heart, the ancients have long said that the people's will determines life and death. My [***] will inevitably cause the loss of people's hearts, the water is shallow, how can this boat be opened? ”

I looked at the silent ministers and continued: "[***] Making officials unfairly will invisibly lead to a widening of the gap between the rich and the poor in our dynasty, and it will also lead to the accumulation of deep grievances among the people in the world, and even the deviation of the people's will. Some time ago, when the Guantian Department was measuring land on Fujian Road, it found that more and more middle- and upper-grade fertile land was concentrated in the hands of a small number of bureaucratic landlords, while the majority of peasants could only cultivate low-grade fields, or even had no land to cultivate. Think about it, what would happen if more and more people didn't have enough to eat? In the thousands of years of history of my Chinese family, the dynasties change frequently, most of the time it is because of internal problems that lead to decay, think about the year, the Han and Tang dynasties are so spectacular, but after all, it is only a few hundred years, although the reasons for its decline are different, but in the late dynasties, the corruption of officials [***] and private fraud is exactly the same, the end of the dynasties, the officialdom is the same darkness, this is a lesson from the past. ”

Ye Mengding looked around, and when he saw that no one spoke, he went out and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are taught." ”

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind that I will take opposition to [***] as a long-term affair of our dynasty in the future, even if there is an abyss ahead, even if there are thorns in front, I will carry out the anti-corruption matter to the end." I said categorically, "No one can doubt this, this is my obligation and responsibility as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." Of course, everything needs measures, it needs a process. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all important ministers of the court, I know exactly how much property you have, and I will not investigate the source of your property, after all, let it pass. However, I would like to see that in the future you will be able to discipline yourselves strictly, and that you must not go beyond the limits of the laws of our dynasty and the code of officials promulgated today, otherwise I will not be blamed for turning the other cheek and being ruthless, and the old and new accounts will be settled together. ”

This time, it was Jiang Wanli who came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and it is indeed urgent to fight corruption and promote clean government. ”

Jia Rudao thought about it, and finally handed Liao Yingzhong a look, and when Liao Yingzhong saw this, he hurriedly went out and said: "The minister also agrees with Lord Jiang's words." ”

I nodded and said, "Most of you have experienced ten years of hardship, and you all want to use your own learning to do your duty for our dynasty, so that you can leave a name for a thousand years." Judging from my ascension to the throne, I am still very satisfied with the performance of your Aiqing. ”

I slowed down my tone and continued, "My dynasty is much higher than the previous dynasty, why is that? This is the hope of the emperors that they could support the honest government with high salaries. In the future, if the treasury is abundant, I will increase the amount of money for officials at all levels. I will make this decision now, and I will also let you make your own choice, you can continue to be an official in the court, or you can abandon politics and business, or retire in your old age, or engage in other things, and I will follow your wishes. If you choose to stay, I welcome you, but you must strictly abide by the laws and rules of our court, and if you choose to leave, I will also support you, and I will provide you with a sum of money for those who have left. How do you choose, don't be in a hurry, think about it later, think clearly, and then give me an answer. ”

Except for the occasional whisper of a few people under the hall, most of them were silent, but the minds of these people had already turned an unknown number of thoughts at this moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to implement the anti-corruption campaign and avoid the situation where there is only thunder and no raindrops, I will set up the Supervision Office and the Nanya to be responsible for dealing with the [***] problem of our officials. Chen Wenlong. ”

"The minister is here."

"I order you to be the inspector of the Fujian Road Supervision Office, prepare for the establishment of the Fujian Road Supervision Office, choose to take office, and officially put it into operation on the first day of August."

"Yes, Lord's Order."

"From the moment you arrived on Fujian Road, you will convey the first order of the Supervision Office to all officials."

"The minister understands that since August 1 of the first year of Xianchun, all officials on Fujian Road who have violated the laws of our dynasty and the code of conduct for officials will be prosecuted by the Supervision Office and handed over to Nanya for judgment, and will be investigated for historical responsibility."

"Well, Chen Aiqing, you remember this number one correctly. Ladies and gentlemen, what I mean is very simple, Order No. 1 of the Ombudsman Office applies not only to Fujian Road, but also to any place in our court. ”

This is the first time that I have publicly expressed my determination to fight corruption and promote clean government at a meeting of the DPRK, and I think that all officials will discuss this matter in private, but only in a matter of discussions, and more than 90 percent of the officials will have a wait-and-see attitude.

Perhaps everything will not be known until the achievements of the Fujian Road Supervision Office come out.

Of course, I'll blow the wind from time to time, and I'll let my media do it for me.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the fight against corruption didn't work in a day. I know that I am facing not one, ten corrupt officials, but the officials of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and of course the difficulties are extremely great, but I must take this first step, otherwise I will only hear the thunder and not the rain.
