Chapter 216: Greed

At the same time, in the Jiangdu Palace.

When Yang Guang walked out of Empress Xiao's bedroom, it was already three hours later.

Empress Xiao and Qin Ruyan had already fallen asleep tiredly, although Yang Guang also felt a little tired, but his spirit was still quite vigorous, he came out, blew the cold wind, and immediately became energetic again.

"The queen and Qin Guifei are resting in the palace, don't disturb them, wait until they wake up, and then go in to serve." Before Yang Guang left, he didn't forget to instruct.

The palace maids guarding the door nodded again and again.

In his heart, he admired Yang Guang very much.

Three hours!

With such a long period of time, how many people can do it?

If they have the opportunity, they also want to try, but unfortunately, their status is too lowly, unless they take shit luck, it will be difficult to get their wish and be favored by His Majesty Yang Guang.

Under the gaze of their peach blossom eyes, Yang Guang quickly left, it was just dusk at this moment, Yang Guang had nothing else to do, he simply came to the study to deal with the twists and turns.

These twists and turns are quite boring to deal with, and most of them are about some things about the livelihood of ordinary people.

Among them, there are some local officials who are corrupt and corrupt, and only when they see this, Yang Guang will be extremely angry and slap the fold on the table.

"This corrupt official is really inexhaustible, so I really can't get rid of these moths?" Yang Guang has always had zero tolerance for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he has always adhered to the attitude of killing one by one, which is exactly the same as dealing with the Red Butterfly Sect.

Since the fall of the Yuwen clan, the sparse and sparse sum has almost killed more than ten more.

But even so, there are still rumors of corruption from time to time.

While Yang Guang was indignant, he was somewhat powerless about it.

"How do I fix it?" Yang Guang felt that as an emperor, if he couldn't completely put an end to such a thing, it would be too embarrassing.

But he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"That's right......" Yang Guang's expression moved, a figure appeared in his mind, and then he immediately sent someone to call Xue Yan.

It didn't take long for Xue Yan to stand in front of Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with finding a minister?" Although Xue Yan's daughter is well known to everyone, and the ministers have acquiesced, she usually retains a man's outfit, giving people a sense of white scholar.

But only those who are familiar with her know that Xue Yan's martial arts are so high, looking at the entire Great Sui, there are really few people who can become her opponents.

"Xue Yan, there are no outsiders here now, you don't have to speak a mouthful of Your Majesty, just call me Senior Brother." Yang Guang smiled and beckoned Xue Yan to sit down.

Xue Yan let out an "oh", but he really didn't see it, and immediately shouted, "Senior brother." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Guang nodded and handed her a notebook: "You take a look at this first." ”

"Good ......"

Xue Yan glanced at it quickly and muttered, "Is there a corrupt official?" However, this person is greedy enough, and even dares to be greedy for the disaster relief money given by His Majesty to the disaster area, and he is also greedy for a full 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"Yes, exactly."

Yang Guang was heartbroken: "You know, this person is just a small county order, and even a county order dares to become such a huge corruption, how much do those people with higher official positions and greater power than him dare to be greedy?" ”

Xue Yan said curiously: "Since a corrupt official like this has been discovered, then remove the official position and kill him, why did you call me over, senior brother?" Do you want me to deal with this? ”

"No, I want you to think of a good way for me to completely eradicate all corrupt officials."

Yang Guang made his intentions clear: "I don't want to see the existence of corrupt officials in the Great Sui again. ”

"Your Majesty, this is almost unlikely."

Xue Yan frowned, and then he was not afraid of Yang Guang's anger, and said calmly: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of any dynasty or generation that can completely eliminate the existence of corrupt officials, even if you are senior brother, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete this matter, because, senior brother, you still need these corrupt officials to do things for you......"

"Why do I need corrupt officials to do things for me? Could it be that there is no one in the DPRK? When Yang Guang heard this, he was quite unhappy.

Xue Yan said unhurriedly: "Senior brother, think about it, there are indeed many officials in the court, but how many officials are you really familiar with?" Is it these officials who are in Jiangdu at this moment? ”

"Even if they can ensure that they are clean and not greedy, however, with their status and status, it is impossible for you to send them all out, senior brother......"

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying." Hearing this, Yang Guang's face tightened, and he moved his mouth to refute a few words, but found that this seemed to be very reasonable.

Because, there is a big difference between the Beijing official and the local official in nature.

More of them, they are still helping themselves to deal with national affairs, and if they are sent to the local government to deal with those trivial matters, it will be too big and useless. For example, Li Wei, after being put at the grassroots level for a period of time, didn't he call him back in a hurry?

"Since you understand this, senior brother, you should understand that grassroots officials are indispensable to the imperial court, and it is precisely because of the help of these officials that the Great Sui will be permanently stable, otherwise the people below will be left unattended, no one will preside over justice for them, and the law of the Great Sui will not be implemented, and the foundation of the Great Sui will be truly shaken."

Xue Yan sighed: "But the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, in a place where you can't see it, senior brother, the magistrate whose power has been lacking supervision for a long time will inevitably have some changes in his personality, from a clean official to a corrupt official." ”

"Even if you kill this corrupt official and send another official down, it is difficult to guarantee that this new official will not become a second corrupt official like his predecessor in the future."

The more Yang Guang listened, the more he felt weak, and the whole person simply collapsed in the chair and muttered: "According to what you say, corrupt officials really can't be eradicated?" I can only watch the emergence of corrupt officials one after another in the Great Sui? ”

"No problem." Xue Yan couldn't do anything: "Unless you are ruthless in dismissing all officials, senior brother, there will always be some corrupt officials." ”

But from another point of view, although these corrupt officials are greedy, they have managed to maintain the peace of one party, which is not all bad for the Great Sui. Without them, many of His Majesty's decisions would be difficult to implement. ”

"As for the phenomenon of corruption and fraud that may occur in this process, we can only find and deal with them together, and reduce the number of corrupt officials as much as possible in this high-pressure way."

"No, that's not what I want to see, what I want is that there is no greed in the world." Ordinary emperors, hearing this, may acquiesce in this matter.

But Yang Guang is different from them!

He, the emperor, is more "greedy" than anyone else......
