Chapter 276: A two-pronged approach

Lin Bai looked at Li Guanqi in a daze for a long time, and in desperation, he had to kneel down and salute, and then got up and retreated.

"It's finally quiet!" Li Guanqi smiled slightly and said, "I was killed by him just now!" This Lin Bai, since the first day I saw him, he was a loud voice, and it was two or three years in a flash, and he was getting older and older, not only did his temper not decrease, but he got bigger and bigger, and his voice was still so high. Now, let's move on! ”

Qin Minzhong looked at Lin Bai's figure that was gradually moving away, looking staggering, as if he had suddenly aged a lot, when he secretly went to look at Li Guanqi, he found that Li Guanqi was also looking at Lin Bai's figure, but there was no disgust on his face, he was afraid that Li Guanqi would be angry and severely punish Lin Bai for such a loyal courtier, seeing his face, it seemed that Lin Bai had not lost his holy grace, so he took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty! Although Lord Lin should not say that our Central Mansion is a corrupt official who is in the same stream, he is indeed a loyal minister and a minister, and it is also a good thing that His Majesty can have him. There are a few courtiers who are willing to speak and dare to speak, whether it is right or wrong, the benefits of His Majesty's country always outweigh the disadvantages, according to the ministers, the punishment will be exempted, right? ”

"You're underestimating me!" Li Guanqi smiled and said, "If I can't see that he Lin Bai is a loyal minister, will I let him stay by my side all the time?" What kind of person is he, I know how ruthless! When the dynasty Yipin, except for Yulu, there is no other income, just rush him to this, I also have to respect him. But he is also a person who admits death, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, and in today's meeting, it is impossible to discuss countermeasures with him, so I drove him away. Punishment, since I have already opened my mouth. Not exempt. Go back and let Zhao Pu pass the decree, and the punishment I gave him was to reward him with two salaries! ”

Although Zhao Pu and Lin Bai quarreled for a long time, in fact, he also admired Lin Bai very much, originally heard Li Guanqi say that punishment was inevitable, and let himself pass on the decree, and wanted to follow Qin Minzhong to plead for mercy. Now that I heard that the punishment was actually a reward, I was happy again, and hurriedly agreed: "Obey the order!" ”

"That's it! Since I'm not the dumb king you feared! Let's get down to business! Li Guanqi smiled and said, "But I can declare it!" Don't be as noisy as Lin Bai anymore! Otherwise, I'll get out like that. ”

Dongfang Rui groaned and said, "Your Majesty! The opinion of the central government is that the government should be reformed, but the stability of the court is also fundamental! ”

"Slippery head!" Li Guanqi scolded with a smile and said, "It seems that you don't want to mention this plan that offends people!" ”

Zhao Pu and Li Guanqi were the closest, and when they heard this, they also smiled and said: "It's not that the ministers don't want to give advice." It's such a big thing, Your Majesty must have a good plan, how can the ministers get an axe? ”

"Less sycophants!" Li Guanqi smiled and said, "How do you know that I have a good plan?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Pu's face stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly, "The minister guessed!" Your Majesty has always been thoughtful, and if he hadn't had a good plan, he would definitely not have blindly taken it to the Imperial Council to discuss it. ”

Listened to this. Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Okay! My habits are clear to you. Yes, I already have a case, but we still need to discuss it together. The three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, no matter how good my brain is, it is not as thoughtful as everyone thinking together! ”

After a pause, Li Guanqi continued: "Lin Bai also said it just now. Qing officials are like a rarity, corrupt officials are like the sand of the Yellow River, if all the corrupt officials are wiped out, I will have no one to use, and the Great Qian Dynasty will no longer exist. However, if we do not fight corruption, in the long run, the wind of corruption will surely become more and more intense, and the country will also be destroyed.

So, I mean to think of the best of both worlds. It is necessary not only to appease the majority of officials and let them continue to do things with peace of mind, but at the same time, it is also necessary to make a painful determination to ruthlessly kill a number of corrupt officials, especially those in high positions, so as to set an example for them. In this way, it will not only prevent the government from causing great turmoil, but also make these people vigilant and dare not blatantly loot the people."

Qin Minzhong nodded and said, "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the minister has no opinion!" ”

Dongfang Rui and Zhao Pu exchanged opinions, nodded and said, "The ministers seconded it!" ”

Seeing that the three major scholars of the Central Center all agreed to His Majesty's plan, and the others had no better way, they all agreed.

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees with my opinion, then the Central Mansion will sum it up and draw up a strategy as soon as possible." The principle is that as long as no one is killed, I will not be held accountable for the corruption that has occurred before that. But since the Holy Decree, if there are any more people who dare to be unkind to the officials and the people, I will not spare them! ”

"Commandment!" The three scholars of the Central Mansion replied in unison.

Li Guanqi got up and paced two steps, and then said to Lu Konghai: "I will leave it to you to do the things that kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." From now on, you will inspect the various roads on my behalf, oh, you have to be subdued, once you find a corrupt person, you can kill him directly without asking for an order! ”

This is a big difference, not only can travel the world, but also has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but this right to cut first and then play still makes Lu Konghai slightly stunned, and then knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order!" It will definitely live up to the trust of His Majesty! ”

"Get up!" Li Guanqi raised his hand slightly and said, "I'm not worried about your character and ability!" But I want to emphasize one point, human life is greater than heaven, even the life of corrupt officials. Before there is conclusive evidence, you must not kill indiscriminately, otherwise I will not spare you! ”

For Lu Konghai's integrity and conduct, Li Guanqi is absolutely assured, the reason why he reminded him so much is that he is afraid that Lu Konghai will be jealous and hateful, and in the case of holding the power of supervising hundreds of officials and cutting first and then playing, he will be reckless of the consequences, and he will chop indiscriminately, that is a head, not a watermelon, when the time comes, Lu Konghai will kill happily below, Li Guanqi is too busy in Beijing, where can he find so many people to fill the vacant official vacancy?

Now it is like this, which not only gives Lu Konghai enough power to let him do it, but also puts a tight spell on him. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are actually very scared, but also very careful, even if Lu Konghai is capable, the people below are also actively cooperating with him, if you want to find out the conclusive evidence of an official's corruption and perversion of the law, it is by no means an overnight thing, so that the butcher knife in Lu Konghai's hands cannot be cut too fast.
