Under Kangxi's series of arrangements, the rectification of the rule of officials finally began.

There was no fanfare, no prior advocacy, and the whole thing was very low-key from the start...... Kangxi's plan is very clear: the current rule of officials in the imperial court has reached the point where it is impossible to rectify it, if it is advocated at the beginning of the matter, and the whole world knows about it as the clamor of cleaning up the deficit at the beginning, it will have to make the vast majority of officials feel "chaotic". In this way, the situation will inevitably produce turmoil. As an emperor, of course, he did not want to see this scene. Therefore, he planned to use the method of "diving into the night with the wind and moisturizing things silently" at the beginning, and did it without saying a word. Moreover, he also instructed Zhang Tingyu, Shi Shilun and others not to come forward immediately, but to have Zhao Shenqiao and You Mingtang come out first, and let the two start from their respective positions, and start to deal with them by a single official, gradually from small to large, from shallow to deep. In this case, even if some officials see that something is wrong, it will be a while before the entire imperial court knows the news, and it will be difficult for officials who do not get accurate information to form a huge opposition force.

Of course, Kangxi also knew that there was a not very trustworthy factor in the "anti-corruption" camp he mentioned - Zhao Shenqiao. However, he understood better that Zhao Shenqiao would not and did not dare to find him unhappy. Because he's the emperor! Since Zhao Shenqiao has been able to work under Ma De for so many years without being reprimanded by Ma De, it shows that he knows how to cooperate well with the meaning of the peak and knows how to make trade-offs. Don't forget, Mader's boss is far more difficult to serve than he is the emperor. In addition, there is another reason why he appointed Zhao Shenqiao, that is, although there are many officials with enough weight in the capital, they are all too widely involved, and it is easy to do bad things because of personal affairs. Although Zhao Shenqiao is not a great character, this guy is a sober person, which is very important. He believes. Zhao Shenqiao would never be willing to live with his future. Moreover, there is another point, that is, Zhao Shenqiao rose from the post of political envoy in Jiangsu, and at the same time he is not from Madedi!

Although his background in Jiangnan made many officials put the mark of Ma De on him, he would not be driven by Ma De. And the impression left by Ma De on the officialdom is that he is arrogant and unscrupulous! This image was sometimes more intimidating than that of the emperor, who had to be on the right side on most occasions. As long as he mentions Ma De next to him a few times to support Zhao Shenqiao, there should not be many people who dare to make trouble at first glance.

And as long as there are no problems with Zhao Shenqiao's Metropolitan Procuratorate, when the time comes, You Mingtang will take over the Criminal Department. Shi Shilun took over Dali Temple, and with the three law divisions in hand, he would act much more smoothly. At the very least, it is much more difficult for those who want to make a stumbling block.

However, although it was considered more thoroughly, and the matter had already begun, You Mingtang also began to sort out the case files of the Criminal Department with the attitude of "three fires for new officials", intending to investigate some officials first. But Kangxi still has troubles. …… He's an emperor, there's too much to do, and he's getting older. It's a bit overwhelming to preside over this big event. However, until now, he has not been able to find a suitable principal. Several princes who stayed in the capital. Except for the third and fourth, the rest of the people are either too mediocre or too young. And the third Yinzhi is lazy in talking, and his ears are easy to be soft, and his "sex" personality is not the kind of person who is resolute enough, although the fourth Yinzhi has a temper "sex" personality that never returns, but, as Zhang Tingyu said, his son is too upright! And the "sex" is mean! To rectify the rule of officials is to "rectify," not just to "rectify." Although the difference between the two is only one more word and one less word, the meaning represented in them is very different. And if Yinzhen is used, it is difficult for him to be sure that his fourth son will take the word "Dun" to heart.

"Forget it! Anyway, it's just started, and I'll have some time to wait! ……”

After thinking about it for a while, Kangxi finally gave up and continued to think, planning to wait for a while until You Mingtang and Zhao Shenqiao finished the matter. However, he did not do anything. A decree was quickly sent out, and. Soon, the courtiers learned what it was about:

"There is a decree from the saint to summon the thirteenth elder brother Yi Belle Yinxiang and the fourteenth elder brother to return to Beijing!"

………………

After a circle, I returned to Yunnan.

Since he detained Gan Guobi, took Ha Yuansheng, and let his 3,000 Governor Biao's soldiers disarm the 8,000 Green Battalion soldiers, the officials of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces all knew that they were staying in this territory and were a master who really dared to use knives. And after Ha Yuansheng was arrested, the iron hat Shun Chengjun King behind him hadn't even made a sound until now, and it made the officials of the two provinces, who had always been remote and relatively distant from the imperial court, know the power of Yu Zhong. So, in just one month, Yu Zhong erected a majesty that others might not have for decades. Of course, these majestys are only superficial at present, but at least, Yu Zhong is currently standing in Yungui. In addition, Liu Yingxia, the governor of Guizhou, was originally from Ma Dedi's command, and he also had a bit of incense with him, so he could basically be said to be banned in the two provinces.

However, what Yu Zhong has to worry about now is not whether the officials will listen to him, but how to rectify the mess in Yunnan. This mess is not left by Gan Guobi or Ha Wusheng, but the accumulation of successive positions, more precisely, it should be the accumulation of history.

During the Ming Dynasty, after the general Mu Ying led the army to pacify Yunnan, according to the characteristics of Yunnan's large number of ethnic minorities, the Tusi system was implemented in the vast minority areas, and it was constantly improved. However, with the continuous development and progress of society, and the closer ties between Yunnan and the hinterland, the drawbacks of the Tusi system have become more and more obvious, and it is no longer suitable for the development of the border ethnic minority areas and the central government's rule here. Although this system played a useful role in history, allowing the Ming Dynasty to destabilize the local situation soon after pacifying Yunnan, it had many drawbacks of its own. Under the rule of Tusi, Tusi has its own land, and the world has its people, and has the power to kill and seize the people under its jurisdiction.

It can be said that Tusi is the emperor of soil. And in his own jurisdiction, he can do whatever he wants than the emperor. Under the rule of these Tusi, the people lived a difficult life, and the wealth was taken away by the Tusi, and the people were miserable, and they could not take anything except to maintain their living needs, which naturally seriously hindered the development of the local economy. And in addition to that, toast between.

Tusi also often fought within themselves, robbed each other's villages, and killed innocents indiscriminately, causing suffering to the common people and seriously affecting the stability of the region. Especially in the border areas, even more so. In addition, the Tusi have their own armed forces, and they use their own soldiers to suppress the local people, and even disobey the imperial court, and the rebellion is endless.

As early as when Yu Zhong was ordered to take over the post of governor of Sichuan, he had a thorough understanding of the Tusi system, and he also knew the disadvantages of this system very clearly. It's just that he had already received Kangxi's secret order at that time.

It is necessary to seize the time to prepare for the dispatch of troops to Tibet. Therefore, I had to use a more convenient and quick method, that is, financial interests and military coercion, etc., to make friends with the Tusi leaders there. But he didn't start with the toast system. After he occupied Tibet, the reason why he still did not do it was because Tibet was only nominally under the central government, but not under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, and in addition, religion was prevalent there, and he had two religious leaders who were recognized by all of Tibet. But. However, he knew very well that the long-term existence of the Tusi system was extremely detrimental to the unification of the country. Especially now, the backwardness and disadvantages of the toast system are becoming more and more prominent. In the two provinces under his jurisdiction, there will definitely be serious obstacles to some of the things he will do. Therefore, the abolition of the toast system has become an inevitability.

………………

"Brother Yu, there are six more cases of Hanyi conflict this month...... In addition to last month, we have seen nearly 30 such cases in less than three months! ”

Alinga scratched her head and found the governor's yamen. Since he officially took over the post of governor. He also did his best, and for the affairs of Yunnan Province, he always had to take advantage of the performance before the middle school. The purpose of his doing this was very clear to Yu Zhong, it was nothing more than to firmly grasp the power in his hands, but unfortunately, Yu Zhong had no intention of robbing him, so he had to find the door of the Governor's Mansion again.

"Is it that serious? Such a sad face...... If it is known by the officials below, won't it damage your face? Seeing Alinga coming to the door with a depressed face, Yu Zhong asked with a relaxed smile.

"Isn't that serious? There are almost a dozen cases of stabbing me, the governor's yamen, every month, do you think it is serious? I said Yu Dashuai, please think of some way! Alinga didn't get angry because of Yu Zhong's ridicule, but just sighed incessantly: "Although Ha Yuansheng's guy just made a little trouble, this Hanyi conflict has also been stirred up more and more by them. If you continue like this, maybe one day you will have to go into battle again! ”

"So what do you think I'm going to do? Do you want me, the governor, to run after the cases every day, trial one by one, and then get the name of 'Yu Qingtian'? Yu Zhongxiao asked.

"Yu Qingtian? Hmph, I think you're a 'Yu Hongtian,' Alinga pouted. Because there has always been no conflict with Yu Zhong, and Yu Zhong has not grabbed power with him since he took office together, he has fought for profit, and his attitude is also kind, so he also let go of his attitude a little.

"Hehe, Yu Hongtian? That's a pretty good name. I also want to lead the army to run over directly, and smooth out all the troubles, all the edges and corners. How much pleasure is that? Isn't that impossible? The people who are calling back and forth are all their own people, what's the point? I'm not interested in fighting with my own family! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Then you should hurry up and find a way to solve this matter! When you were in Sichuan, didn't it take only two or three years to make the Yi, Qiang, and Tibetan people there honestly obedient? Why not do it now? Do you want to see me laugh? Alinga asked angrily.

"Hehe, I said, don't be angry! How dare I look at your jokes? Isn't your business my business? Yu Zhong saw that Alinga was displeased, and knew that the other party was really anxious.

And it's no wonder. When a new official takes office, who doesn't want to do a few things first to make a long face? But this old man touched the ash of his nose head-on. On average, there are almost ten cases a month, and they can all be stabbed into the governor's yamen, although not all of these cases are serious, but such a frequent occurrence is already a very serious incident. It's just that Alinga hasn't been a chamberlain for a long time? Why are you still so impatient, as if you have no experience in this kind of thing?

"I guess this guy is just a second stubble. I'm afraid I'm just patronizing and messing around when I'm in office! Otherwise, why did Kangxi throw him out of Beijing? Yu Zhong persuaded Ah Ling'a while thinking a little jokingly in his heart.

"Brother Yu, since you also know that you have a part in these things, then you should give me an idea. When our new official arrived, he set up such a big prestige when he first arrived, and I don't know how many people were staring at us. You can't just go on without achievements and let people see jokes, right? Alinga said again.

"Nothing? Damn, you kid is in a hurry! People only dare to say that they have made some achievements for the first term of office. You're going to plant a tree just when you arrive, you're superhuman, huh? Yu Zhongzai suddenly wanted to scold Alinga, this kid used him as a coolie? When I first arrived, what happened to this kid? Didn't make a difference? Hmph, it is estimated that this guy saw that he was so anxious to do something when he saw that General Yu was in Yunnan and erected his majesty. Hmph, this guy should think that others don't know what he's thinking? What did Kangxi send this guy for? It must be the one who restricts him, Yu Dashuai! It's a pity that he is too angry and famous for someone now, and he kills people and sets fire to the ground as soon as he arrives, and this guy may be afraid that those officials in Yunnan will be shocked by his prestige as a governor and forget his governor. It is difficult to complete Kangxi's task, so I am in a hurry to take the lead! Maybe. Now there are nearly ten cases a month, and there is trouble caused by this guy's misdemeanor. Otherwise, why didn't he come over and ask him even though he knew he had experience in handling minority affairs?

"My lord, it's not that someone doesn't want to help you. We can't be anxious about this Yunnan matter! Haven't you heard of it? 'I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!' Although Yu was a little angry in the center, he didn't want to have any conflicts with Alinga. After all, Alinga is not comparable to Ha Yuansheng, and if he really gets into trouble with him, then he won't have to do anything.

"Not in a hurry? I said, Lord Yu, aren't you in a hurry now? So when are you going to wait? When you make trouble 100 times a month? Ah Ling'a heard that Yu Zhong's tone had loosened slightly, and his heart was a little more confident. Yu Zhong's expectation was right, there were really cases in the past few months that were caused by his improper actions, which is why he came to Yu Zhongdi in a hurry. He didn't want Kangxi to know that his performance was so bad! Let alone. Before he arrived in Beijing, Kangxi had instructed him to listen to Yu Zhong more, and did not let him make his own decisions. Now, if you don't take advantage of the fact that the matter has just "exposed" your head and pull Yu Zhong over, it will be too late when you stab the capital. He's been relegated from the city to a place, and he doesn't want to be thrown anywhere else.

"Hehe, my lord, everything, you have to figure out the branches and stems before you do it! Which one is important, which one is secondary. Which can be done first, and which can be slowed down...... I think this should be the case when he is in charge of Yunnan affairs. Get organized before you think about your next move. Yu Zhong said.

"Then what do you think should be done in Yunnan? Which is the stem and which is the branch? Alinga asked.

"Hehe, this is really hard to say. However, in my opinion, before we do things, we must first rectify the officialdom in Yunnan, and when there is nothing wrong with ourselves, it is not too late to take care of anything else! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Rectify Yunnan officialdom? Brother Yu, what are you kidding? Do you know how long it takes? When Alinga heard this, he was anxious, and immediately shouted as if questioning.

"Hehe, don't worry, Lord A. I don't plan to do anything in-depth, in fact, this time I'm not so much about rectifying the officialdom, but except for some officials who really can't stay in office, I don't plan to move them. I mean, in fact, I just want to teach these officials a lesson! Yu Zhong said with a smile.

"Class?" Ah Linga said.

"That's right!" Yu Zhong put away his smiling face and said, "The magistrate is the intersection of the people and the imperial court. The reason why there are so many things in Yunnan is that these officials also have great responsibilities, and they cannot get rid of these responsibilities. So, before I actually start dealing with the affairs of Yunnan, I have to tell them the standards of my conduct, and let them understand my rules. lest anyone call me too arrogant. ”

"And after that? This is not just wishful thinking to restrain the officials! "Afraid that people will call you arrogant? Hmph, if your old gentleman is not arrogant, then everyone in the world is a humble gentleman. Alinga said secretly to herself.

"Yes! We can't just restrain our officials! Therefore, after rectifying the officialdom, what I have to do next is to change the land and return to the stream! Yu Zhong said with a smile.
