Chapter Thirty-Eight: Banditry is Rampant

Qi Hanxuan was still immersed in the imperial study and was appreciating the folds, looking at the folds sent by the secret guard

Officials in the south colluded with the DPRK and China, eating, drinking, and exploiting the people, banditry was rampant, wanton robbery, and the people were not able to make a living, and the bandits numbered in the tens of thousands were now expanded to tens of thousands, and the people could not survive and were forced to become bandits

After reading it, he was furious and slapped the table uncontrollably

Mediocre! Mediocre! The court raised them, gave them money, officers and soldiers, and this is how they repaid the court and the people?

only cares about eating, drinking, and having fun, and exploiting the people, allowing bandits to rob the people, burning, killing and looting, and daring not to report to the court! When are they going to escalate? Wait until they rebel?

If it hadn't been for the secret guard who came back with the news, he would have been hiding this matter to death! In collusion with the DPRK and China, who else can you talk to? Shang Shuling Shangguan Haoyu, you are simply damned!

The flames rose higher and higher in his heart, and he shouted at the door, "Zhou Fu!" ”

As soon as Zhou Fu heard the emperor calling him at the door, he hurriedly came in from outside the door, walked to his side, and looked at him angrily, feeling bad, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" He asked softly.

"Go! Call me the book of the military department! There is also Shang Shuling! He glared at the fold fiercely, his eyes still on fire.

Zhou Fu listened to the order, and hurriedly went down to tell the guards to hurry up and inform them.

After a while, the military department Shangshu Shangshu and Shang Shuling received an order to let them enter the palace to discuss matters, and they hurried over.

After the report, he went directly into the study, knelt down and asked An "Weichen has seen the emperor"

Qi Hanxuan looked at them coldly, resisted the urge to drop the fold in their faces, and threw the fold in front of them

"Look! Look at it! A dignified official of the court, in an important position, eating the court's money, this is how he repays me! Give back to the court! Give back to the people! He scolded angrily.

The military department Shangshu and Shangshu Ling knelt on the ground, hearing this, his heart trembled, looked at the fold on the ground, quickly picked it up, picked it up and looked at it, was shocked, and quickly pleaded guilty

"Wechen is incompetent, Wechen is guilty! I don't even know anything about this kind of thing, please atone for the emperor's sins! The secretary of the military department kept kowtowing and asked for guilt.

He is the head of the military department, and he is responsible for the distribution of all local officials, and the bandits are so rampant that he has not received any news at all, someone must have hidden it from him, so that he did not transfer people to stop it in time, this is a dereliction of duty!

After he finished speaking, Shangguan Haoyu also went on to ask for guilt, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, as Shang Shuling, he doesn't even know that there is such a thing in the south, and the old minister is guilty of serious dereliction of duty!" ”

He couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, how could he make such a fuss, and he was very annoyed.

The official to the south was sent by Che'er, who said that the official was very shrewd and capable, and that it was worth using, so he agreed.

Some time ago, he received news that there was a group of bandits in the south, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and he also went to ask Che'er, he said that it was just a few lowly homeless people making trouble, and the local officials were already dealing with it, so he didn't have to worry

But now, it's tens of thousands! Tens of thousands! It's almost time to rebel! This is not a small amount at all, if the emperor really finds out about them, then they will all be finished!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly hung his head and thought about countermeasures, how to wipe them out of it and prevent the little emperor from catching them.

The little emperor got the news, someone must have gone to investigate, and he reported it, I don't know if anything else has been detected, whether it has been found that the officials in the south were sent by them!

Qi Hanxuan glanced at them, the military department is still a person, he knows it, loyalty, no two hearts, this time he didn't receive the news, he must have been hidden, his subordinates estimated that they were traitors, otherwise how dare they deceive!

And Shang Shuling is not, he only has family interests in his heart, seeing him with his head down and contemplation, it is estimated that this matter has something to do with him, buying and selling official positions?

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he actually did this, and he still regarded himself as an old minister, he really relied on the old and sold the old, and the bear's heart and leopard were guts!

Qi Hanxuan sneered in his heart, then withdrew his gaze and turned his head to order

"The secretary of the military department, I give you seven days, send troops to solve the bandits, and at the same time, clean up your own department, as an official of the imperial court, if you don't know every move of the people, stay in the capital all day and live peacefully, if you feel old, you can enjoy your old age in advance." He said coldly.

When the military department Shangshu heard this, he kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the minister will not let down the emperor's people, and he will solve the bandits, otherwise the minister will never return to Beijing!" "Guaranteed from the heart.

Hearing his words, Qi Hanxuan stopped talking, and turned his head, "Shang Shuling?" ”

"The old minister is here" heard the emperor call him, and Shangguan Haoyu hurriedly returned.

"This time the banditry is rampant, you are also responsible, as a dignified scholar in the court, the news is so backward, you can't even know such things, how to do your best for the court and serve the people! Don't be negligent! Reprimanded.

can't move him, it's okay to reprimand him, just to make him unhappy, thinking that he is the elder of the three dynasties, he is above 10,000 people under one person, and the older he gets, the more confused he becomes! Sure enough, power and status will change people's hearts, and greed is not enough to swallow elephants

Hearing his reprimand, Shangguan Haoyu felt a burst of anger in his heart, he was accompanying his ancestor to fight the country! This Feng Lingguo, even if he has no credit, has hard work! How dare his grandson discipline him like that!

His face turned black directly, and he felt very aggrieved, gritting his teeth and replying, "The old minister must do his best!" ”

Seeing him like this, the anger in Qi Hanxuan's heart slowly receded, since he was in power, he didn't dare to say everything to the court, but he has always done his best, never playing with the government and ignoring the regime

For the people, he has also been working hard to reduce taxes for them, complete the national law, cultivate poor disciples, and strive for the greatest benefits for them, so that they can all live better.

As a monarch, he must win the hearts of the people, and to win the hearts of the people, he must know the people's will. Only by knowing the people's will can we do our best to benefit the people. If the emperor is a boat, then the people are the water that pushes him forward, and he has always understood the truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat.

Therefore, for the officials of the DPRK and China, he does not pay attention to their family background and status, but only looks at whether they have a heart for the people.

is like Shangshu Ling Shangguan Haoyu, who clearly knows the rules of the court, but still indulges his son-in-law in buying and selling official positions, raising government soldiers in the house, and ignoring the law of the court

Qi Hanxuan coldly glanced at Shang Shuling, who was still kneeling, one day, he would definitely pull out all these moths one by one!

"It's good to know the duty, step down," he said lightly, his mood had already stabilized.

Hearing this, Shang Shuling and Shang Shu of the military department hurriedly retired, got up and retreated.
