Among these people, those eunuchs and chamberlains are not included, and that's because Liu Zhi doesn't need to ask.

For the emperor, the courtiers were subordinates, and they had to fight wits and courage with them, racking their brains. But the eunuch is a slave, and his net worth and life are held in the palm of his hand.

They don't ask right or wrong at all, they only know that they must follow the emperor, be his eyes and ears, and be an eagle dog, and move forward.

Therefore, eunuchs are a group of people who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and their good and bad are directly in the hands of the emperor himself.

After several years of exploration, Liu Zhi gradually mastered some ways of employing people, and it is no wonder that most emperors trusted eunuchs more, and their loyalty was unquestionable.

And it's very easy to use, pointing where to fight, even if you ask you to be a dog to bite, you will not hesitate to pounce.

Therefore, he will hand over many private matters to the eunuchs, and for the courtiers, it has to be different from person to person.

Especially those scholars and doctors who are deeply rooted in Confucianism, you must be convinced, otherwise they will fight with you with their necks and foaming at the mouth.

As for those selfish courtiers, they can only be gracious and powerful, knocking and beating, and promising some benefits, for this kind of person who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, the effect is still good......

Of course, he asked himself if he was not talented enough, he was not a natural leader, and he could only accumulate experience little by little, crawling and bumping along the way.

Sometimes, he would rather put on a dumb name, so that when there is really nothing to do, he can still be reckless, and he doesn't have to worry about any reputation.

Seeing a group of courtiers, whether they wanted to or not, they all expressed their allegiance with trepidation, Liu Zhi hooked his lips and smiled.

As long as this group of people is tied to their own chariots, the rest of the plan will be easy to carry out.

On the same day, he let the Yulin army set off in full gear and embarked on the journey to the state, and issued a strict order that if anyone dared to flee halfway, he would be killed.

In addition, their relatives and related persons must be held accountable, and those who are found to be harboring private treasures will be severely punished.

Under such a high-pressure policy, a group of pampered children of the family reluctantly set off, and this trip to the state is believed to impress them.

Whether it is a dragon or a worm depends on their own creation.

If it's a swarm of moths, don't blame him for digging a hole for them.

This move immediately aroused the vigilance of some people, which was too anxious, no matter how you look at it, it is weird.

That night, some people began to use the party to discuss countermeasures, but there was no movement for several days, and Liu Zhi reviewed the music every day and teased his daughter, which was nothing unusual at all.

After several days in a row, all the ministers gradually let down their vigilance, and His Majesty's recent behavior has been very willful, and who knows what madness he will be.

Maybe he made a fool of himself in Shanglin Yuan, and he was not happy in his heart, so he must get Yu Linjun out to suffer a little, and he had this evil breath.

Anyway, this emperor has done everything, and some absurd actions are not surprising, so thinking about it, everyone is relieved again.

Early in the morning of this day, Su Yao, the captain of Longlin Guard, entered the palace to report that under strict supervision, the unwilling Yulin Army finally walked out of the territory of the Captain Department of Sili and set foot on the land of Bingzhou.

On the same day, Liu Zhi summoned Zhang Ling, the middle of the imperial history, and among the important ministers of the court, Zhang Ling was a special existence.

He was an upright man and was not good at words, but he never participated in the court's politics, and there was one thing that impressed him very much.

Liang Ji was in power during the reign of Emperor Yuanjia of the Han Dynasty, and this arrogant general had not yet received the honor of the sword in the previous dynasty.

At the beginning of the year, when the court congratulated, he entered the Chongde Hall with a sword on his shoulder, but was seen by Zhang Ling, who was the Shangshu at the time, and immediately scolded him and expelled him.

He also immediately ordered Yu Lin and Hu Ben to take his sword, Liang Ji was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged to be spared, but Zhang Ling resolutely refused.

At that time, I joined him, and I had to let Tingwei judge the crime, and the rod was twenty years old, if it wasn't for the Empress Dowager Liang's personal intercession, Liang Ji would have lost his hair.

In the end, he was fined for a year, and all the officials were in awe.

Liang Ji was insulted by this, and he was so ashamed that he hid at home for many days and didn't dare to go out, thinking about getting this breath back.

In the end, he found a mistake and wanted to kill Zhang Ling to vent his anger, but under the intervention of the Empress Dowager Liang, he was only removed from his official position in the end.

But Zhang Ling's character and personality can be seen from this.

Later, Liang Budo was Henan Yin, admired his talent and character, and wanted to promote Zhang Ling as filial piety, but he had doubts.

So he said to Zhang Ling: "In the past, you should punish yourself." ”

Zhang Ling said: "The Ming Mansion does not take the tomb as a tomb, and mistakenly sees the order, and now declares the public constitution to repay personal favors." ”

Liang Budo was ashamed and re-recommended Zhang Ling to enter the official career.

After Liu Zhi came into power, although Zhang Ling did not take refuge in him and did not participate in the killing of Liang Ji, he was still reused and promoted to one of the three independent sitting in the imperial history Zhongcheng.

Because of Zhang Ling's character and character, he is really suitable for this position, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who has his courage and courage.

He was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather Zhang Ba was a famous minister of the emperor, and his father Zhang Heng was also the Taishou of a county.

Clear-minded, selfless and fearless, such a person, whether it is his friend or enemy, can only be admired in his heart.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Zhang Ling's eyes are upright, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Chu Chong, sit down, I want to ask you something today, as a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, why have you never been impeached now that the trend of forming parties and engaging in private interests is prevalent in the court."

If it were a different person, he would definitely be frightened when he heard this question, thinking that His Majesty's move was to ask the teacher for sin.

But Zhang Ling was not, I saw him reply in a deep voice, "Back to Your Majesty, in all dynasties, how the atmosphere in the officialdom is oriented depends on the emperor, Your Majesty wants to make the official style honest and honest, and if you want him to be corrupt, he will be corrupt." ”

Yes, he actually threw it back with a word, but he was telling the truth, up and down, if an emperor is upright, the court will naturally not tolerate those ghosts and ghosts.

"If I want to rectify the rule of the world, where should I start?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is natural to start with the investigation of corruption and bribery."

Zhang Ling neither shirked his responsibilities nor actively offered advice, but gave the most basic answer.

Liu Zhi was slightly stunned, everyone knows this truth, can he use such a solemn statement, isn't it?

After a little hesitation, Liu Zhi understood what he meant, "How to operate, Chu Chong should have a charter, no matter what you do, I will support you from behind." ”

"Your Majesty has really made up your mind?"

Zhang Ling's questioning can be described as bold, this is Chi Guoguo's question.

"Yes, it's done."

Liu Zhi was not disobedient at all, and looked directly into his eyes, the brilliance inside was firm and sharp.

"Unwavering?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling was unmoved, and dared to question again.

"Never waver."

Liu Zhi's face was serious, "No matter who it is, no matter what it is, it will be severely punished, and the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people." ”

"Good! What a prince who broke the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people! ”

Zhang Ling was amazed, of course, he also knew that no matter when, it was impossible to really achieve the same crime as the common people when the prince broke the law.

This is just an attitude, which shows Liu Zhi's firm determination to rectify the rule of officials.

At this moment, Liu Zhi's real thoughts are, fortunately, I don't have a prince now, and when he is born and grows up in the future, if I still don't hold this world in the palm of my hand and give it what I want, then there is no need for this emperor to go now.

He is a man who protects his shortcomings, values family affection higher than the sky, and of course shows no mercy to those who have hurt and betrayed him.

For this world, he gradually has some sense of responsibility, but this sense of responsibility still does not overwhelm the blood and family relationship.

So his real plan is to govern the world to make the country rich and the people strong, and then smoothly hand it over to his future children, so that he can have a peaceful and prosperous world.

Don't live your life trembling like yourself.

"Since Your Majesty said so, then the minister is not welcome."

Zhang Ling smiled, and in an instant, a sharp and incomparable momentum burst out from his body, like a fierce beast that had been dormant for a long time, finally showing his claws.

"The minister has a book here, which records all kinds of evidence of corruption, bribery, and malpractice by officials above 1,000 stones in the DPRK and China."

He took out a thick book from his arms, and presented it to Liu Zhi's eyes that were getting wider and wider.

"The minister dares to guarantee that all the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, as for how to send it, it is all up to Your Majesty."

Liu Zhi couldn't wait to take the book, and flipped through it casually, which clearly recorded the amount of money that someone received for a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day.

Turning another page, it records that someone suppressed the performance evaluation of other officials for the future of the children of the family, and arranged his unsuccessful juniors to important positions.

……

This...... This is really all kinds of evidence of abuse of power for personal gain, and it is completely irrefutable that the time, place, cause and insider are recorded in detail.

Liu Zhi's heart couldn't help but pound, haha...... It's so exciting to see what treasures he's picked up.

"Chu Chong, it's wonderful, you're such a wonderful person, why didn't you offer it earlier? Hahaha......"

The more Liu Zhi looked at it, the happier he became, he originally planned to let Yushitai fight an earth-shaking battle, but he never expected the evidence to come so easily.

It seems that he is really transferred, and now he is really a bit of a child of destiny.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, although the minister has been collecting evidence all along, he has never stopped.

But the minister thought that it would never have a chance to see the light of day in this life, and originally the minister planned to wait until the day he returned and burned it all. ”

His expression was infinitely emotional, bright and firm, "But I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could still let them play a role, so I am grateful to the minister, this great man, there will be a day when the Haiyan River will be clear, and the minister will be able to see the bones." ”

From his words, Liu Zhi suddenly understood a faint tragedy, since ancient times, the complete rectification of the dynasty has been accompanied by bloody rain.

But after the brutal purge, as a person in power, he had to find a way to stabilize the situation, and the most conventional operation was to throw out a few people in charge to appease the anger of his courtiers.

Then the ascension of the ascension, the reward of the reward, and the combination of grace and power, all the aftermath will disappear into invisibility.

This is the most skillful means played by the emperors of all dynasties, and it is also the best choice.

And Zhang Ling is even more soberly aware that he is definitely the best substitute for the dead.

Is it wronged?

Personally, he is really wronged, but in terms of the great cause of the country, this is an inevitable sacrifice, and it is really cost-effective to exchange peace for a mere Zhang Ling.

"Don't worry, I will never let the meritorious man be wronged, there are many solutions in the world, and there may not be only this way."

Zhang Ling smiled and didn't say anything, he didn't believe in Liu Zhi's promise, some things came to the end, it was the situation that forced people, not necessarily that he was willing to do so.

As long as he can fulfill his life's wish, he will not embarrass the emperor in the future, and he will take the initiative to ask for guilt and end this matter.

"I'll leave this ledger first, and I'll study it carefully to see how to start."

If you don't move, if you move, you will be thunderous, and he will sweep away the world with the most powerful means, and will not give them time to react.

Zhang Ling returned to the palace when he heard this, and he also knew that His Majesty needed to make up his mind, as a courtier, he should not influence the emperor's thoughts.

Liu Zhi didn't sleep all night, read the book page by page carefully, and pondered after reading it.

There are more than 100 officials involved in it, ranging from the imperial court and departments to local officials.

They belong to dozens of families and several interest groups, but ...... But none of them were high-ranking officials of 2,000 stone or more.

In other words, in Zhang Ling's hand, there is likely to be an account, which is the evidence of the crime that includes the cutting-edge forces of the imperial court.

This is an obvious temptation, and the decision is in the hands of him, the emperor.

It is to kill chickens and monkeys, deter the ministers, and then reverse the trend with a dissipation, so that they will be jealous in the future and no longer dare to do anything wrong.

Or do you want to comb it thoroughly from top to bottom, eliminate all the super rats, and return a quiet court?

Obviously, under the conventional operation, the last choice is the wisest, as long as the core interests of those families are not moved, they will eventually choose to abandon the car to protect the handsome and break their arms to survive.

After all, the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable, and if you want to oppose it publicly, you must not rebel.

The road behind is very dangerous, seeing that it is a catastrophe and there is no way to survive, anyone will choose to fight to the death.

At that time, if the world's families unite to rebel, even if they have military power in hand, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight them.

Isn't the new recklessness a lesson from the past?

Therefore, Zhang Ling was sure that His Majesty would choose the former.

It was a sleepless night, Liu Zhi stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his eyes penetrating the dark night, he was not satisfied with either of these two roads.

Is it possible to find another way out of the darkness?

His thoughts traveled through the torrent of time, up and down for five thousand years, and he did not let go of all the similar cases he could think of.

He hated less when he used the books, not to mention that the knowledge he learned was all primary and secondary school knowledge under the examination-oriented education system.

Many things are just known but not the reason, I clearly remember that there is such a thing, but once I dig deeper, there is a lack of necessary details, which makes him look entangled.

Where to go, he has stood at the crossroads of the imperial industry, and this step will directly affect the direction of history......
