In either case, it is not what Li Xingchen wants to see.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins, forgives your sins."

The voice of the small official of Dali Temple was full of fear and trembling.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for this, when the ministers waited in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan officials were too enthusiastic about the ministers.

Got us drunk, found a bunch of women, and finally, finally... Threaten us with this, you can't say what you shouldn't say, Your Majesty forgives you! ”

The officials were flustered.

Li Xingchen sneered, "This is the reason why you concealed and deceived me?" Waste, dragged out and chopped. ”

When the words fell, the ministers gasped, "Your Majesty spares your life, Shangshu, Siqing, save me, save me!" ”

The officials were scared half to death and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty..."The official Shangshu opened his mouth to plead, but Li Xingchen glared at him, "Shut up." ”

"The left and right squires are the high-level officials below you, how do you manage people? I haven't held you accountable yet, and you still want to intercede on their behalf? Li Xingchen was furious, and his roar resounded through the imperial study.

A short time later, two platoons of marchers standing outside rushed in and dragged ten officials out.

After that, Li Xingchen looked around at the three provinces, the six ministries, the prime minister and others, "I want to know if you don't know anything about this, or if you are covering it up." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, and the minister only knows these things on the rules."

The six ministries of the three provinces hurriedly knelt down and dissociated themselves from this matter.

When Li Xingchen was furious, once he said a wrong word, he would end up like those ten people, so they were all scared, even if they knew part of it, they had to say that they didn't know at the moment.

"I don't know? True or false? The department under his own jurisdiction, his subordinates, tell me now that I don't know? I would like to ask you if you are capable of sitting in various high positions? If you can't bear it, get out, don't occupy the pit and don't. ”

Li Xingchen didn't believe that the Ministry of Shangshu and Dali Siqing would not know, the people were selected and sent out by them, can they not know? I'm afraid that I know and pretend to be confused, and try my best to clear up the relationship.

"Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know, please calm your anger, please your Majesty be clear."

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The two kowtowed again and again, still vigorously denying it.

Li Xingchen gritted his teeth and said: "This is the only time to meet someone who is unladylike, and I will not take it as an example." If there is a next time, it is better to take the initiative to return farmland to forest, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, Li Xingchen's murderous intent was fully displayed, and the frightened officials and Dali Siqing turned pale.

The two didn't dare to say anything more, and got up trembling.

Li Xingchen glared at the prime minister again, "You have been getting more and more unpopular recently." ”

The prime minister was frightened, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.

"Stand down."

"The ministers are leaving."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and obediently retreated.

Soon, the official department Shangshu and Dali Siqing returned to their respective posts, and the news of the execution of the ten officials also spread throughout the major departments.

For a while, all the officials shivered, and the chill ran from the soles of their feet to their heads.

Your Majesty is serious.

killed ten ministers in a row, the means were too ruthless.

No one dares to say that it is Li Xingchen's fault, and the crime of bullying the king should have been punished.

Many people can't help but think of Li Xingchen's ruthless and ruthless methods towards the alien army.

reacted, after becoming the emperor, Li Xingchen was not ruthless, but just restrained his temper, and now that he has moved his bottom line, he has resorted to the means of killing again.

The officials in the capital have changed a lot in the atmosphere of eating and not working, and they have performed their duties conscientiously, for fear of angering Long Wei on the cusp of this storm and leading to the fate of being beheaded.

Li Xingchen was still not idle, and the incident of the Jiangnan officials made him extremely angry, and he was determined to shovel out a wave, otherwise they would think that the imperial court was afraid of them.

In fact, except for the Jiangnan area, other places are also like this, but it is impossible to uproot them all at once, and they have to be slowly figured out.

As for Jiangnan, we can take advantage of this to carry out a wave of reforms, use Jiangnan as a base, face the whole country, and let officials across the country know that the world is my world, not the world of the major families.

The next morning.

Regarding the Jiangnan issue, the prime minister made a proposal.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the Jiangnan assassin envoy and the major county officials be dismissed and investigated."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department said: "Judging from the current situation, many petty officials in the Jiangnan area are from major families, and it is useless to remove county officials. ”

The prime minister twisted his eyebrows, "Do you want to dismiss them all?" However, if all the posts are dismissed and the official positions are vacant, the future development of Jiangnan and the post-disaster construction will be unplanned. ”

The prime minister is also angry with corrupt officials, and he hates iron but not steel, but I have to say that there are many follow-up problems caused by all dismissals.

The flood has just been experienced, and it is the time when the people need treatment the most.

Li Xingchen sneered, "Who told you that the removal of all officials will affect recovery."

Have you forgotten that the last time I took the 1,000 high school exams in the imperial examination, I haven't given them official positions? ”

Not long ago, after the end of the imperial examination, Li Xingchen first arranged a place for the 9,000 students who failed to take the exam, and there was still a palace examination in high school that had not been held, so he was not canonized.

Originally, Li Xingchen planned to take the palace exam as soon as possible and arrange them into different positions according to their talents, but the ensuing things overwhelmed him, so he was delayed.

Anyway, the high school examinees eat and drink for free in the capital, just wait, and there will be no complaints.

The three provinces and six ministries were shocked.

The official department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty wants to remove all the officials in Jiangnan? ”

In this way, how many officials will have to fall from power!

With such a big move, aren't you afraid of causing disgust to the family and causing trouble to the court in the end?

Why did Li Xingchen squint, "Do you think it's okay?" ”

A large number of dismissed officials are very rare throughout the dynasties.

If it weren't for the inaction of Jiangnan officials this time, controlled by the major families, Li Xingchen would not have been able to move so much.

But things have already happened, and they have to be resolved, so simply grit their teeth and eradicate them all.

And even if the local rich family is powerful, without the protection of local officials, what kind of storm can it start first?

This high school has a thousand exams, and it is enough to send the children of non-Jiangnan families and ordinary poor families to serve.

"Your Majesty, the movement is too big, and the ministers are afraid that there will be a rebellion in the local area." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu reminded.

The small family can't set off the wind and waves, but the Jiangnan area is extremely rich, and the big family abounds, and they will raise some clan soldiers to guard the safety.

Usually use a huge amount of money to maintain the expenses of the clan soldiers, and once something happens, it is when the clan soldiers come in handy.

"I have the heart to reform, but I'm afraid that they won't succeed, not only do I have to change, but I also have to change it with great fanfare.

I want to print the daily reform situation on the front page of the newspaper, so that the people can see it, let the officials see it, and even more so let the family see it.

I'm going to send an army to it! Whoever dares to stir up trouble will directly pacify their family. ”
