Chapter 1387: Arbitrary and Arbitrary
When Lin Si said this, there was already an uproar in the hall.
Yue Luoning was able to use the battle between the two factions to get the tax reform back in place, but she couldn't get the stillborn reform of the bureaucracy to be supported.
The biggest reason is that the reform of the administration of officials has really endangered the lives of these ministers. This kind of thing, neither the local minister nor the foreign minister, will be willing.
And now the Ministry of Supervision proposed by Lin Si is equivalent to building an additional department to monitor all ministers, who would like someone to keep an eye on him in the dark all the time. Once you make a mistake, one day you are suddenly tied up and put in prison?
This kind of thing makes them very uneasy and uncomfortable.
However, Yue Luoning in the palace was suddenly shocked, she couldn't imagine that Lin Si would suddenly make such a decision.
She couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy in her eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you ......?"
It's just that before she finished speaking, she was violently interrupted by the ministers below.
"Ridiculous!"
"This is a must!"
"Sending people to spy on the ministers will only put everyone in danger......"
"What should the officials of the Ministry of Supervision do if they themselves are corrupt? Who will take care of them? If the officials of the Ministry of Supervision use this power to blackmail the ministers? This will only bring great disasters!"
"Yes, I hope Your Highness will think twice! We are not afraid of the so-called supervision, but this move will chill the hearts of thousands of officials in the Moon Country!"
Unlike the last tax reform, after Lin Si's proposal, the ministers didn't dare to say anything for a long time. And this time, he just proposed, and immediately attracted a storm of opposition.
The reason is simple, tax reform has only sucked a little blood out of them, and although it is unwilling, it is not fatal. And this Ministry of Supervision is like a steel knife on the side of their necks, which may leave them with nothing at any time.
In addition, Lin Si's silence during this period of time also made them much bolder, and they were gradually less 'afraid' of this prince.
For a while, Lin Si seemed to have become the target of public criticism, and this court seemed to be developing towards a noisy vegetable market again.
"Shut up Lao Tzu!"
A thunderous shout suddenly resounded in the main hall, causing everyone's ears in the hall to buzz.
Lin Si, who was furious, pushed the two courtiers closest to him to the ground, strode to the center of the hall, and before the courtiers could be embarrassed by this amazing move, he turned around and sneered twice: "Huh...... You guys are so imposing!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a wave of slander in their hearts, you are the most majestic here, right?
It's just that without waiting for them to reply, Lin Si immediately took the lead in making trouble.
"Do you still have the royal law in your eyes, what does the law of the moon say? On the top of the main hall, can the monarch speak at will? I see, you don't put the king of the moon in your eyes at all, right?"
Only then did the ministers understand why Lin Si was angry and dissatisfied, he was holding grievances for Yue Luoning.
This kind of thing, Yue Luoning himself couldn't say it, but when Lin Si said it, they really didn't dare not pay attention to it. To be honest, they really didn't take Yue Luoning too seriously.
It's just that they're used to it, and they've even thought it's normal.
"The ministers don't dare to ......," the courtiers hurriedly said in unison.
"I think you dare very much! Where is the book of the Ministry of Rites?"
"The minister is here!"
Perhaps it was Lin Si's sudden anger that shocked everyone, and a middle-aged official hurriedly stepped out of the crowd.
"This hall is noisy and shouting all day long, insulting each other, like a busy city, treating the monarch as nothing, is it in line with the etiquette law?"
"This ...... Not true. ”
"Then why don't you point it out?"
"This ......"
Lin Si waved his hand impatiently: "You are very incompetent in this Ministry of Rites, and you don't need to do it, let's demote it two levels and keep it." ”
In fact, Lin Si himself is not a person who cares about etiquette, and he doesn't even care about the minister's personal style. After all, he himself is a person who advocates freedom and ease, and he is naturally reluctant to restrain others.
When he was in the northern fiefdom, his subordinate ministers didn't care about whether they were taking concubines into the Qinglou or drinking and gambling, as long as they didn't delay their business.
But at this time, he felt that he had to correct the atmosphere of the court. Because these people have relaxed excessively.
To establish Yue Luoning's authority, it is necessary to start from these details. Let every minister be respectful when he sees her.
Even if this respect is only superficial, if you can't even do it superficially, what can you talk about internally and otherwise?
"Your Highness, this ...... Doesn't it seem inappropriate?" Prime Minister Yang Yu suddenly frowned.
Of course, this is not appropriate, Lin Si is not the Moon King at all, how can he have the right to demote the minister? Moreover, how can the demotion be so rash?
Once this wind is opened, it will only become more and more intense in the future, and he, the head of a hundred officials, of course, cannot sit idly by. What's more, this Ministry of Rites Shangshu is a native courtier of the Moon Kingdom, and he is from his camp.
Lin Si glanced at him lightly, and said lukewarmly: "What? You want to intercede for him? Is he not derelict in his duties? Did he do what he should do?"
"This ...... Although Lord Wan did not fulfill his duties, His Highness's move was also not in line with the law of the moon. Yang Yu's words were very subtle, but the meaning was obvious, you don't have the right to do this.
"Since you also think that he has not done his duty, it is that he is really incompetent. Then please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment, what do you think, do you think this Ministry of Rites should be lowered?"
With his support, where does Yue Luoning still not know how to cooperate?
"Wan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, neglected his duties, seriously derelicted his duties, and was demoted to two levels for temporary retention. ”
After she finished saying this, Wan Song suddenly sat on the ground with a weak body, he never dreamed that he would be demoted two levels so inexplicably.
"Who else is dissatisfied? My sister Wang is the Moon King I recognize, but I don't see anyone who regards her as the Moon King! If you don't give me face, then don't blame me for not giving you face! Who else has an opinion? Stand up, and I'll help him take off his official hat!"
This kind of words full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes can be said by him in the court. His words seemed a little ridiculous, but no one dared not take them seriously.
Everyone knew that he was really angry, and that he was in a position to do so. In fact, even if he killed a certain minister in court, what could he do? Who would dare to punish him? Who else could oppose him?
They dared to confront Yue Luoning because she was a woman, and they could still welcome Lin Si if they took her down. What will be the consequences if they oppose Lin Si? Who can punish Lin Si?
Is there that force in the Moon Kingdom that can make Lin Si unable to turn over?
If you want to say that you don't want to do it, you can't say you're sick, then he really asked you not to do it, anyway, now after pacifying Qianlanqingchuan and Southern Qi, there are many people waiting for the top. Some people in these three countries have been prime ministers, and some have been scholars, and they promise that after taking over their positions, they will soon be able to do better than them.
So, they could only bow their heads.
"The ministers dare not ......"
"I don't care if you dare or not, I'm talking about the establishment of the Ministry of Supervision. Lin Si turned around with a sneer, and then bowed to Yue Luoning with a straight face: "Please also ask Your Majesty to inquire ......"
He finally understood that if he wanted his ministers to be respectful to Yue Luoning, then he, the king of the north, must take the lead in respecting her. Just like when he first knelt down when he ascended the throne and gave way, even he was respectful to the Moon King, what qualifications did others have to be presumptuous in front of her?
"Why are you proposing the creation of a Ministry of Inspection?"
"The minister has been in the court these days, and he has heard and witnessed countless corruption and fraud incidents, and the minister deeply feels that the officialdom of the Moon Kingdom is very corrupt. Officials are corrupt, and it is the people of Li who suffer, and in the long run, the Moon Kingdom will only collapse from the inside. Only by setting up a Ministry of Supervision to supervise the words and deeds of officials, punish officials who violate the laws of the country with monthly discipline, and let ministers become self-disciplined, can we prevent this situation from continuing to deteriorate!"
Yue Luoning nodded again and again: "What Aiqing said is very reasonable, do you ministers have anything else to say?"
She looked around at the ministers below, and even with her city, she couldn't help but feel speechless for a while.
Of course, the ministers below have something to say, even if they offend Lin Si, they have to say it. This inspectorate, they categorically could not agree. After Liang Yue first ascended the throne, he set up a Ministry of Supervision, and the duties he performed were similar to those proposed by Lin Si now.
At that time, the chief official of the Ministry of Supervision was Zhou Zichuan, and under his leadership, the officialdom of the Moon Kingdom was simply bloody.
Ministers were often pulled out of their beds by the cool officials of the Ministry of Supervision while they were asleep, and taken to the torture chamber to be tortured. And it is not uncommon for a certain minister in the court to be suddenly pressed down by the samurai on both sides, and then pulled out and beheaded.
For an official, it was simply the darkest and least wanted picture.
Although Liang Yue did what he did at that time, it was more to eliminate dissidents and promote his own people, rather than to rectify the corruption of officialdom, and many of the charges used were fabricated out of thin air, Lin Si would not necessarily do that, but this Ministry of Supervision has really become a nightmare that many ministers are extremely disgusted by.
It's a pity that they are speechless at this time.
Every minister who wanted to open his mouth couldn't open his mouth, because there was an invisible pressure that oppressed them, making them unable to open their mouths.
The pressure forced them to stand and move, even if they wanted to sit on the ground......
They were like flying insects that had fallen into a thick honeypot, and soon became immobile by the immense weight of the squeezing.
They understood that it was Lin Si who made a move.
Yes, there are some cultivators in the two hundred ministers in this hall, but the highest is only the extreme realm. Most of the others are ordinary people who don't know how to practice at all.
Compared to Lin Si, they were too weak.
Lin Si really didn't have an enchantment, but he was a master of the late stage of the Heavenly Realm after all, and he was still the strongest one. He wanted to turn this area of more than a dozen zhang into his absolute realm, and it was a no-brainer.
He used the most direct and shameless method - to force them to shut up.
Originally, 'Yiyantang' was only used to describe arbitrariness, but now he has made the word 'Yiyantang' true, and of all the courtiers below, he is now the only one who can speak.
Lin Si could feel the anger and dissatisfaction in the hearts of the ministers, but at this time, he had no time to take care of these things. He only knew that Yueguo was sick, so he had to treat it quickly, and if he was seriously ill, of course, he had to use fierce medicine.
As for the process and means, it doesn't matter at all, does it? Even if these ministers hate themselves, even if they may leave the name of an arbitrary, lawless and dictatorial minister in the history books of the Moon Kingdom in the future, what does it matter?
As long as the result is good, that's it......
The silence in the main hall lasted for half a pillar of incense before he looked up and laughed: "Your Majesty, the ministers have nothing to say, it seems that the establishment of the Ministry of Supervision is what everyone wants!
Yue Luoning couldn't help but rub her eyebrows, although Lin Si was doing nonsense, he was able to succeed. What he wants to do in the Moon Country is many times easier than himself.
"Since this is the case, then Zhun Qing will play, from now on, the Ministry of Supervision will be established!"
She smiled slightly, and followed him 'shamelessly' again. (To be continued.) )
