Chapter 412: Punish Corruption!
"I have my own plans." Since he is determined to reform, Li Su will never be soft-hearted, Guan Sixing is destined to no longer be able to stay in the position of Yizhou Assassin, so Li Su does not plan to pay attention to it for the time being, otherwise where is the majesty of his emperor?
Seeing Li Su's displeasure, Shangguan Yi slowly retreated, and he finally understood what it was to accompany the king like a tiger.
Shangguanyi was demoted, the Yizhou faction was exchanged for blood by Li Su as a whole, and the Chang'an faction headed by the eldest grandson Wuji was not only not happy but full of worries, Li Su's own team can be rectified, not to mention his ministers? And the next actions against corruption throughout the Tang Dynasty once again proved their judgment, as long as the officials in the states and counties were reported by the people, Wuhou would immediately come to investigate, and as long as there was a problem, he would be immediately detained, and at this time, the disadvantages of the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty were finally exposed, and the officials could not keep up, and the influx of a large amount of wealth, the erosion of capital businessmen, led to the corruption of officials was very strict, and the collusion of officials and officials was a string of arrests.
Faced with the figures reported by the Supervision Yuan, Li was angry that he did not eat all day, and among the names of these officials, Tong Nian was among them.
"Your Highness, this is the white fungus lotus seed porridge I boiled for you, you haven't eaten for a day, and you can't starve yourself if you are angry." Liu Yanyu walked up to Li Su with a bowl of porridge.
Cui Yingying's relatives and Su Moer's subordinates all found out that there was a problem, Li Su was upset, so she simply went to Liu Yanyu, only she had no relatives in the court, and Li Su was looking for a clean place.
Looking at the lotus seed soup in Liu Yanyu's hand, Li Su shook his head, and then went to the house to look at his third son Li Yun, this is his and Liu Yanyu's child.
"Your Majesty, the queen is coming to Changchun Garden." Li Su was just about to leave, and the eunuch hurried in to report to Li Su.
Li Su frowned. got up and left, leaving Liu Yanyu with a worried face, he had never seen Li Su so angry, he only hoped that the queen could persuade the emperor.
Out of Changchun Garden, where Liu Yanyu lived, Li Su met Cui Yingying head-on, and without waiting for Cui Yingying to speak, Li Su said: "If you want to intercede for your Cui clan, you don't have to speak, Datang has become like this now, what will happen if I don't kill the mighty stick."
Cui Yingying tearfully said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, is the concubine such an ignorant person?" They were caught. This is their own sin, and the concubine will never say a word for them, this time it was the concubine who asked me to invite His Royal Highness over. ”
Handing a handkerchief to Cui Yingying, Li Su said: "You just know it in your heart, and see how the Empress Dowager Eldest Sun did it." ”
Cui Yingying wiped her tears and said, Li Su's words were nothing more than telling her not to participate in government affairs, just manage the concubines of the six palaces with peace of mind.
Concubine Yang looked for herself, Li Su had to go over, and went to the Cining Hall where Concubine Yang lived, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs. When he arrived, Concubine Yang prepared a table of wine and food, and saw Li Su coming: "Your Majesty, our mother and son haven't eaten together for a long time. Let's have a meal together today. ”
"Mother, the child really can't eat." Li Su sat down on the chair, "The child thought that the Tang Dynasty was governed by himself in an orderly manner, but he didn't expect it to end up like this!" ”
Concubine Yang sat down opposite Li Su. gave Li Su a pair of chopsticks, and said lightly: "This is a big deal, kill what should be killed." The exile of the exile, is there still a shortage of talents in this Datang? Think about when Chang'an was besieged by the Turks, at that time we were facing the situation of the country's death, your father only brought a dozen guards to negotiate with Jieli in order to relieve the siege, and the Empress Dowager Changsun even prepared poison at that time, as soon as Chang'an City was broken, she immediately took poison and committed suicide. ”
"Hey, it's just that I really can't help but kill so many people." Li Su sighed.
"Born as an emperor, the most important thing is that this child is long-term, taking care of the small family and losing the world, if you don't kill them, in the future they will poison your country, come, don't think about it, eat." Concubine Yang sandwiched a piece of meat to Li Su.
Concubine Yang's persuasion made Li Yu make up his mind, he went back to the dormitory after eating, and then called Li Ran to Chang'an, I'm afraid he will have to prepare a lot of management-type machines.
rushed all the way to Daming Palace, Li Ran learned of Li Su's decision and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was the emperor who treated corrupt officials the most severely, and his attitude towards corrupt officials was zero tolerance. ”
Li Su naturally heard of this matter, and he said: "That's different, Zhu Yuanzhang's salary to officials is too low, and the officials can't support themselves, so they naturally want to think of ways to exploit the people, but is the salary I give to these officials low?" Even if it's enough to marry three wives and four concubines!"
Li Ran smiled quietly, "The moon is naturally high enough, but Your Highness's moon is just one of the reasons why corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Then what else, let's hear it." Li Su kept drawing a red pen on the list of reviewers.
"Wealth and power, this moon is just wealth, this wealth is just the most basic, but in exchange for power and sex wealth is the most important, His Royal Highness's moon is very high, but how can gifts between officials be enough, and how can it be enough to win a smile from beauties?"
"Hmph, in this way, I still have to give money for them to give gifts, prostitute women!" Li Su said with a red cross on a name.
"Actually, I just want to say that no amount of money is enough to give them, which can only reduce the occurrence of corruption, but it cannot be eliminated, in modern times, why are there so few corruption incidents in developed countries, but so many in country Z? Because the current officials in these countries are from the poorest time, low education, low knowledge, they are afraid of poverty, the power is naturally to corrupt and bribe to live a good life to make up for their previous shortcomings, this is the second is their purpose as officials, for stable treatment, in order to enjoy, knowing that they can make money when they become officials, the purpose is not pure, they naturally have to accept bribes when they are in power, in fact, these two summarize it is Su zhì low, the third is culture, this is the most important problem, If His Highness doesn't solve this, then this problem will never be solved. Elder Li Ran said in a voice.
"Be specific." Li Su put down the pen and became interested.
"Culture, the culture of corruption handed down from China for thousands of years, everyone will have the subconscious that officials can be corrupt, because the culture they accept is full of this information, and the corrupt officials who emerged in the historical dynasties have set an example for them, let them know what corruption is, what methods to use to be corrupt, and the corrupt officials who were scolded by thousands of people not only did not make them afraid, but let them rush to this road like moths to a fire, because they knew that there was this road to go, and there was a culture of courtesy. The exchange of gifts between the people is the poison of history, friends give gifts between friends, relatives give gifts, officials and people give gifts, corruption breeds, in a word, if you want to put an end to it, you must start from the people. ”
"Well, this is a fresh statement, however, there is some truth, but the elimination of the culture of corruption is a way, zero tolerance for corruption is also very important, and there is also to avoid bureaucracy, from today on, all the assets of Datang officials must be reported to the government every month, officials manage the people, and the people supervise officials, both are indispensable, otherwise this will never happen." Li Su finally made a decision.
Let Li Ran be prepared, Li Su made up his mind to behead all the officials with a huge amount of corruption, followed by exile, then prison, and dismissal again, for a time Datang set off a bloody storm, and the officials of Datang also saw Li Su's ruthless side for the first time, and at the same time, Li Ran continued to add new officials to the vacant positions, Li Su used this incident to basically complete the intelligent people-led, indigenous supplemented management system, under this system, Li Su believes that Datang will usher in a new opportunity for development.
In addition to the actions against officials, Li asked the Ministry of Education to eliminate as many cases of corruption as possible from the curriculum, so as to cleanse the perception of corruption ideologically, and let the culture of corruption gradually disappear from history.
