In front of the emperor who was determined to flip the table, especially in front of the emperor who had already prepared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The actions of the Chang'an bureaucrats actually did not play any role at all!

Because, the embroidered guards have already taken action!

They guided the army, entered one by one, and controlled key witnesses and evidence.

Boxes of files were searched from one mansion after another.

One by one, the wealthy merchants, officials and nobles who used to be high in the past were escorted out of their homes.

Even the big names in the crown of the monks in Qili are not immune.

Therefore, the commander of Jingfu, Xue Ou, the Marquis of Guangping, became the first liege-marquis to be arrested.

Subsequently, Liang Zou Houwu committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine at home.

When Zhang Hou Mao Shun heard the news, he also hanged himself.

One by one, the big people who were majestic and invincible in the past fell off their horses one after another, and they were embarrassed.

But, this is just the beginning.

The storm has formed and will not stop until it runs out of energy.

The giants of the Hundred Schools of Thought witnessed the biggest storm in Chang'an since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

"How could Your Majesty be like this?" Someone whispered.

This storm is destined to sweep through the entire bureaucratic system in Chang'an.

Just the various rumors heard so far are enough to scare people to death!

More than one, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the official family that has been active in Chang'an has collapsed, and more than one famous scholar who was famous for his character and morality in the past has fallen into the dust.

This makes the giants of the various factions incredible.

Although in the past, some people in the officialdom of Chang'an joked: Now that the officials are boring, they can't live their lives!

But at this moment, this thunderous storm swept up and down the entire Chang'an.

Some well-informed people even already know that the internal history yamen is now under the control of the military.

An important system of internal history, up and down, along with temporary workers, was actually arrested!

Not only the internal history, but also the yamen such as Shaofu, Zhijinwu, Zongzheng and Zhonglang Generals, thousands of officials were summoned, and two or three hundred people were arrested!

In other words, when the son of today personally wielded the butcher's knife, he knocked over the entire bureaucratic system that assisted him in governing Chang'an to the ground with one sword, and stepped on 10,000 feet!

What about the good arch and the Holy Son of Heaven?

What about ruling the world with the ministers and doctors?

What a shame!

But then again, the emperor is shameless, this is the emperor's talent.

The emperor of the old Liu family, what is going to be faced?

Back then, Xiang Yu grabbed Liu Taigong, and Emperor Liu Bang dared to say, 'Please share a bowl with me after cooking'.

Therefore, the giants have closed their doors and thank customers, and they dare not mix with the disturbances outside.

Whether it is his own disciples and protégés who have been arrested, or their own disciples, financial masters, and backers have been arrested.

Everyone is looking at the nose and the nose, and the nose is looking at the heart, and they dare not say a word.

for fear that he will also be implicated and affected.

…………………………………………

At this time, Liu Che had already returned to Weiyang Palace.

Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and the Imperial Historian were wrong, and they also entered the palace with him.

At this time, the news of Neishi Niuru's suicide came.

When Liu Che heard the news, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Niu Aiqing is guilty of being a person......

In this matter, Niu Ru is actually not deeply involved, at most, a few doormen and domestic slaves did something under his guise, and then he received some filial piety himself.

According to the law, let alone punishing sin, punishment must be marked with a question mark.

But...... In China, the law has never been able to apply to politics.

This matter has already made a big fuss, as the internal history of the person directly responsible, even if Niu Ru tells others every day that he is innocent.

Even if Liu Che helps him testify - he is indeed innocent.

But it is also difficult to block the mouths of the people.

Therefore, his only way out is suicide.

Only by committing suicide can we preserve our reputation and avoid being discussed and blamed by the world.

Commit suicide in order to avoid being interrogated and judged.

Suicide is the only way to protect your family and ancestors.

This is the unspoken rule of the system - the premise of not dishonoring each other is that the parties are interested.

Uninteresting scum, still want to have preferential treatment? Hehe!

But in Liu Che's opinion, Niu Ru is purely throwing the pot!

In his death, he was purified, but he threw the problem to him, the emperor.

In the case of the death of a Jiuqing, shouldn't the emperor be a little angry?

And Liu Che knows very well that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to solve the chronic diseases and stubborn diseases in Chang'an for decades.

After all, the Han dynasty was founded for decades, during which time it experienced all kinds of turmoil and turmoil, and the bureaucratic system in Chang'an was intertwined and interdependent.

In order to solve these chronic diseases and stubborn diseases, under the current era and technological conditions, it is impossible to achieve any results by merely rectifying and strengthening supervision.

The story of the past seven years speaks for itself – over the years, up and down the city of Chang'an, Liu Che has planted hundreds of examiners to mix with sand, hoping that the bureaucratic system will be improved and revitalized.

But alas, it turned out that this was nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of him, the emperor.

In the end, the examiners who were mixed with sand were either in the same stream or could not move by the force of the system.

The recent transformation of Chang'an proves that the entire bureaucratic system has been completely corrupted, degenerated, and irremediable.

If they are left alone, they will only get worse!

The only way to do this is to cut off the rotten flesh with a single sword, tear the table off, and create a new bureaucratic system.

In this way, things can be changed for the better in Chang'an City.

Therefore, Niu Ru's death did not even set off half a ripple in Liu Che's heart.

It was Zhou Yafu who was a little worried.

"Your Majesty......" Zhou Yafu persuaded: "Today, Niu Neishi apologizes, and Zhu Qing is exempt from the crown, you should take a break from the anger of the thunder......"

As the prime minister, Zhou Yafu is of course very worried.

What were the bureaucrats like in Chang'an? Zhou Yafu is naturally very clear.

Since the Han Dynasty, bribery has become a common practice in Chang'an City, and the trend of filling private pockets has flourished day by day.

Of course, this pot, the emperors of the Liu family have to carry at least half of it.

In fact, most of the reason why Chang'an's bureaucratic system has become like this is because the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.

In Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, bribery has become a trend, and relatives and princesses within the royal family are desperately digging into the wall.

During the Taizong period, Emperor Taizong's confidant, the general Zhang Wu, took the lead in accepting bribes.

The eunuch Deng Tong, on behalf of the emperor, took the advantage of minting money.

Generations of eldest princesses have a glorious record of meddling in government affairs and interfering in state affairs.

And the emperor himself turned a blind eye to all this, and did not listen to it.

In such a situation, expect the people below to be honest and law-abiding, honest and honest? Let's be funny!

Therefore, in this huge Chang'an City, from the three princes and nine kings, down to the temporary workers of the government service, no one is not greedy, and no one does not take it.

Among the prime ministers of all dynasties since Xiao He, only Shen Tujia has truly achieved not being greedy or taking.

Other people, even Zhang Cang, the Wenhou of Beiping, who is highly praised in the market and is highly respected and missed by people, have not also done corruption and bribery, and privately taught and accepted things?

Now, the emperor felt that this would not work and that it must be rectified.

So he raised his butcher's knife and wanted to cut a Lang Lang Qiankun out.

Even Zhou Yafu felt that this was a bit too domineering and unreasonable!

What's more, Zhou Yafu is really worried, which arouses public anger!

"Anger?" Liu Che sneered.

It is impossible for him to quench his anger now.

It's hard to find such an opportunity, and it's not easy to make such a determination!

finally seized the opportunity to play on the topic, and he would not stop no matter what.

Of course, Liu Che also knows that the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and things have to be done step by step.

From a macro and historical point of view, bureaucracy and corruption will not die as long as the state and the ruling class exist.

Anyway, Liu Che has never seen and heard of any form of government and system that eliminates bureaucracy and corruption.

Even Switzerland, which claims to be the cleanest, may not be much cleaner!

So, for the bureaucrats, his requirements are really low.

If you can do things, you can do things, you are motivated, and if you don't do things, you are very qualified!

Like Shaofuqing Liu She, the big farmer is unsuspicious.

These two people, everyone in the world knows, one of these two is a big corrupt official, and the other is a well-known Nuo Nuo Danong.

It is not news that Liu She, this guy, quietly appropriated and stole the technology of Shaofu and the craftsmen to do things for his own workshop and feudal country.

And there is no doubt that in the Da Nong Yamen, it is completely an ornament and sculpture.

The specific policies and affairs of the Great Agricultural Yamen were discussed, formulated, and implemented by the Three Cheng Six Orders headed by Shang Rong.

There used to be a joke.

Back then, when the Longshou Canal was excavated, some people asked no doubt: Does the Ming Mansion know where the Longshou Canal has been dug now?

As a result, he looked confused, and it was a petty official next to him who told him in his ear that he avoided embarrassment.

But Liu Che never had any dissatisfaction with these two people.

Liu She is greedy, but he can do things!

Although his business ability is not strong, his wrist is strong!

In the past seven years of being in Shaofu, he has been busy with everything he has been busy with, and sometimes he even has to worry about the port and shipyard of Lou Ship's Yamen.

But he did everything.

Over the years, Shaofu has been able to complete many projects and task indicators on time or even ahead of schedule, and Liu She has contributed a lot.

That's enough!

There is no doubt that he is indeed a puppet, and he has never even put forward any constructive opinions and systems during his tenure as a big farmer.

But the problem is, he let go.

And he is good at promoting and protecting his subordinates.

At the beginning, Yan Xiong dug the Longshou Canal, and it was he who helped to shelter from the wind and rain in the back, blocking all kinds of black hands who tried to reach out to the Longshou Canal project.

Therefore, although Liu She's greed is known to the world, Liu Che trusts him.

Although everyone in the world knows, in fact, there is no doubt that he has no ability to manage and dispose of the huge peasant yamen at all, but Liu Che has always let him sit in the position of the big farmer.

After all, Liu Che knew it very well in his heart.

The Han dynasty was an empire under the feudal system.

Whether it is a bureaucrat or an aristocrat, he is an official for thousands of miles, either for fame or profit.

If you can do things well and implement policies, you are a good official.

If you are greedy and take something, you can even forgive if you don't have the ability.

You are like the Shaofu and the big peasants and the Taifu Yamen, who have implemented the policy of fake farming tools and fake animals over the years, and basically have not extended a hand to the common people.

The objects of their reach are all merchants and nobles.

Most of the benefits were obtained from the merchants, landlords, and nobles.

They can get it, it's a skill!

But what are the bureaucrats of Inner History and Chang'an doing now?

colluded with businessmen and nobles, and fished the common people.

What's more important is that the appearance is ugly, and the means are inferior.

If Liu Che opened one eye and closed one eye, let them play like this.

In a few years, his great image and the great career of the empire will be ruined by them!

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for people to gather and disperse.

The foundation left by Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Guang only took more than ten years to lose cleanly.

The great cause of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, Li Longji only took a few years to bury it.

The dominance and status that the Chinese dynasties spent two thousand years to build up, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost all of them in only one hundred years, so that for the first time in history, China fell to the bottom of the world, and was even ridden to the head by the neon of a thousand years.

Therefore, Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and said resolutely: "The prime minister doesn't need to speak for such a thief of the remnants anymore!" ”

"I have said it a long time ago, and I have seen the world many times: I aim for the great cause of the three kings and five emperors, and I am determined to go up to Yao Shun and match the three kings! This generation doesn't know about my inner history! On the contrary, with the government of the remnants of the people, the bad things will make the people centrifuge, and the people will be resentful, and if they do not get rid of it, I will be ashamed of my ancestors, of heaven and earth, of the community, and of the ancestors! ”

Seeing the resolute attitude of the Son of Heaven, Zhou Yafu moved his lips, but found it difficult to say anything more.

Since Yuande, the biggest change in the world is not how many victories the Xiongnu have been defeated externally.

Rather, it is in the internal ideological culture and public opinion circles.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of schools of thought, whether it is Confucianism and Huang Laomo, or miscellaneous families and deviant Xunzi schools.

Everyone is holding high the banner of 'people-oriented' and 'people-oriented'.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, at least in the ideological and public opinion circles, literati and doctors are talking about the 'people' every day, expressing their desire to 'love the people' and calling on the state and rulers to 'widely practice benevolent government'.

In such an atmosphere, such things are happening now.

It made Zhou Yafu feel embarrassed.

On the one hand, Zhou Yafu deeply felt that the dignity of scholars and nobles should be protected.

But on the other hand, his heart told him - these scum are more than innocent!

So he's ambivalent.

But Chao Cuo didn't look contradictory at all, on the contrary, this Imperial Doctor was about to jump!

Chao Cuo almost bowed to Liu Che like a fist: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the prime minister said is true!" Han Feizi said: The way of the law is hard and long. Today, the officials of the internal history have done evil and harmed the people for a long time, and your Majesty will remove them, although there will be temporary suffering, but they will benefit for a long time! ”

Liu Che also nodded when he listened, he knew very well that this knife was really cutting meat.

You think that the bureaucrats of the entire Chang'an, this time at least have to be killed, dismissed, and exiled, and the entire bureaucratic system is paralyzed in an instant, and it will take at least half a year to return to normal, and at least several years to restore to a complete state.

However, after cutting off this piece of meat, Chang'an will definitely be much healthier, and the people will be grateful for a long time.

It can give the Han regime at least another twenty years.

But......

Liu Che glanced at Chao Cuo, what kind of Xiao Jiujiu was playing in the heart of this imperial doctor, he naturally knew it clearly.
