In the lobby of the yamen of Jiankang Mansion, a piece of music was placed on Zhao Hong's table, Zhao Hong looked through them one by one, his face was gloomy, his brows were tightly locked, and he never let go.

No wonder the common people hate corrupt officials so much, it turns out that these people are not only corrupt, but also no longer do things.

The rule of officials is not only about investigating and dealing with corruption and violating the law by officials, but also about putting an end to officials who solicit bribes and violate discipline. The rule of officials involves the implementation of the new policy, and it is related to the foundation of his prosperity and strengthening the army.

A group of ministers sat down, Wang Gang, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road, Hu Mengyu, the general of Jiankang Mansion, Song Ci, the criminal officer of Jiangnan East Road, Zhou Ping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Department, and Xu Xuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, all looked serious, or drank tea with their heads bored, or bowed their heads in contemplation.

There was silence in the hall, and even a needle could be heard clearly.

"Gong Xu, how is the case of Huangjiazhuang in Ningguo County?"

Finally, Zhao Hong put down the recital and broke the silence.

Thinking that six officials of the Jingjie Institute were beaten to death by the villagers of Huangjiazhuang, four of them jumped into the river and fell into distress, and only two survived in the end. The anger in Zhao Hong's heart was a little unbearable.

Is this still human?

Is this to give him a kick? Who gave their dogs guts?

"Your Majesty, in the case of Huangjiazhuang, the villagers were instigated by Huang Zhendong, the eunuch of Huangjiazhuang, and Xu Hai, the magistrate of Ningguo, could not come out of government. Now Huang Zhendong and more than 100 villagers in Huangjiazhuang have been arrested and brought to justice, waiting for the sentencing of the Criminal Division. ”

Xu Xuan cheered up and played 1510.

"Huang Rucheng, the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture, and Xu Hai, the prefect of Ningguo County, how did they deal with it? Won't stay out of the way, right? ”

As if dissatisfied with Xu Xuan's answer, Zhao Hong looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

This Dali Siqing, who is secretive, what is he afraid of?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, how could they stay out of the matter?"

Zhao Hong's face was pale, Xu Xuan dared to slack off, and his face was full of smiles.

"Xu Hai has been detained in the guard Ma Junsi, as for Huang Rucheng, accepting bribes, perverting the law for bribes, and instigating the eunuchs to fight against the Jingjie Law, his sin is great."

Originally, he wanted to persuade Zhao Hong alone in private, so that Zhao Hong would handle the case carefully, so as not to obstruct the ministers of the DPRK and China, and finally it would be difficult to ride the tiger.

Now there is no choice but to play directly in front of everyone.

"Xu Qing, Song Ci, Huangjiazhuang's case, Xu Hai, Huang Rucheng, Huang Zhendong, and a cadre of people involved in the case, etc., will be severely punished according to the law, and the punishment will be correct!"

Sure enough, Zhao Hong was unceremonious, obviously hating Huang Zhendong and his party to the extreme.

It's just that personal interests are put above the interests of the state, and they are crazy and coerce the villagers to kill the court officials, in their eyes, is there still an emperor of themselves?

Xu Xuan and Song Ci hurriedly received the order. Song Ci was satisfied, and his body stood straighter.

Needless to say, Huang Zhendong is afraid that he will not be able to escape the Fa-rectification on the spot. Huang Rucheng, the prefect of Ningguo Mansion, just instigated the eunuchs to fight against the meridian law, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death. Xu Hai, the magistrate of the county, will be demoted at the lightest.

The emperor is so tough, and Ning Guofu, the hardest hit area of the anti-French and anti-New Deal, is about to die.

"Xu Qing, Jiankang Mansion sentenced Gu Song, has his criminal evidence been clarified?"

If you want to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, you have to have a benchmark, and Huang Rucheng is not qualified. This Gu Song came at the right time.

The beauty of the mansion, the wine and the wealth, patronize the "heaven and earth" once every three days, do not care for the people, do not care for the people, only pay attention to the entertainment and cultural industry under the rule, and do not take this gentleman as the flag of the new deal, it is really unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, Gu Song's acceptance of bribes, corruption and perversion of the law, and tyranny governing the people are all ironclad evidence. Just bending the law for bribes, covering up crimes, and unjust, false and wrongful cases is enough to kill the head! ”

Xu Xuan didn't dare to hide it, and he was also shocked by Gu Song's crime.

This is no longer just a crime of corruption, but a crime against the law.

"The officials of Jiangnan East Road are corrupt, Song Ci handles the case, Xu Qing is the auxiliary, Ming is the canonical punishment, and he is severely punished according to the law."

Zhao Hong's face was pale, and he made a decision coldly.

With these "excellent" officials, it's no wonder that the people don't scold their mothers!

"Your Majesty, Hu Yuanfeng, the county governor of Jiangning, collects harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, even if the imperial court has expressly prohibited it, he still commits crimes against the wind. Merchants within its jurisdiction are required to pay a huge tax of 20%. The number of hidden fields in its territory is also the largest among all states and counties. Besides, Hu Yuanfeng still has ...... I love young girls...... Hobby. ”

Zhou Ping said softly, he was a little embarrassed when he said the ugly behavior of the officials.

"Good at beasts who lack virtue and are inferior to beasts! Song Ci, investigate this case well, punish it properly, and punish it severely. ”

I think I have seen this gentleman on the flower boat, with an ugly face, how can I have the appearance of a county parent official? How can such an official, and the people under his rule, have a good life?

Like...... Young girl! What a pervert!

Where did all this weirdness come from? Such a person is also worthy of being an official?

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Zhenjiang Naval Division, Huang Ren and his generals, privately embezzled more than 200,000 yuan for the repair of the warship by the Ink Division. He drank the blood of soldiers and ate empty salaries, and over the years, there were 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. This Huang Ren is also the niece and son-in-law of Xia Zhen, the former commander of the palace. ”

Wang Gang rushed before Zhou Ping and said it loudly.

After all, Huang Ren is a general under his rule, if it is all found by Zhou Ping, he, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road, is too incompetent.

"Wang Qing, bother. The law of the land is ruthless, do you know how to do it? ”

Zhao Hong looked at Wang Gang with a solemn face.

Xia Zhen was killed by him, what kind of bullshit niece and son-in-law of his dared to be so rampant?

It seems that he is still too soft-hearted, so that these guys mistakenly think that they belong to the mud faction and are weak and can be bullied.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, after arresting these corrupt rats, the minister will let Song Ti deal with this case, and he will definitely give His Majesty and the people of the Great Song Dynasty an explanation!"

Wang Gang swore an oath. Emperor Chrysostom said that there was no psychological burden in capturing these "criminals".

"Excellent! Song Tixing, don't worry, just let it go! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers will deal with it impartially, and give an explanation to Your Majesty and the people of the world!"

Song Ci bowed and bowed, impassioned.

The emperor was resolute, and he didn't have to think about retreating to the countryside anymore.

"Song mentions the punishment, and the national law is ruthless. Kill those who should be killed, pass those who should be closed, and be exiled by the army, don't be merciful. There is always a fluke mentality, thinking that the law is human favor, and the officials protect each other. The law is the foundation of the country and the will of the people of the world. Whoever walks against the will of the people is the law without mercy. ”

Zhao Hong was depressed and said coldly.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, but the water should not be too mixed, so that the fish have no room to survive, how can the fish survive?

"Your Majesty, the ministers will be punished according to the law. However, to punish these corrupt officials, especially court officials such as Gu Song, I am afraid that it depends on the meaning of the ruling ministers. ”

Thinking of Xu Xuan's words, Song Ci couldn't help but play.

Although Zhao Hong is the emperor, he has to discuss with the ruling ministers about dealing with so many officials, especially those high-ranking officials.

Zhao Hong glanced at Song Ci and didn't say anything.

Jiangnan East Road implemented the new policy, killed officials and destroyed the office, arrested officials and arrested eunuchs, and there were rumors that such a big thing had happened, and several ruling ministers were afraid that they had rushed over.

To deal with corruption among officials, we must first solve the problem at the root of the officials. There are no wages and benefits, and it is strange that there is no corruption and bribery.

"Wang Qing, how is the matter of the officials?"

Zhao Hong changed the topic and returned to the matter of Xu Yan.

"Your Majesty, the Anti-Corruption Department and the Criminal Investigation Department have made secret visits, and the number of extortionists and heinous officials on Jiangnan East Road is about 900 people. The number of officials who are greedy for ink and can be sentenced to prison is around 2,000. There are about 7,000 people who are lazy in government. As for the rules and regulations, there are less than 1,000 people who are not greedy or inky. ”

Wang Gang's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was as thin as a mosquito, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong was stunned, and then sneered.

Those who do things well are only less than one percent.

Sure enough, he is a good official of the state, who deceives his superiors and subordinates, harms the public and private interests, and makes the people's grievances boiling, and the people are not happy.

"Your Majesty, when the water is clear, there are no fish. This is the case with all the officials in the world, and Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. ”

Wang Gang, who has been in power at the local government for a long time, knows the depth of the water and the shallowness of the water.

"Your Majesty, the evildoers of the officials are extremely harmful and can shake the foundation of the country. Your Majesty needs to be strict with the officials, otherwise what is the point of implementing the new policy? ”

Song Ci bowed, as always, black-faced and selfless.

The corruption of officials is so serious, if it is not rectified, the Great Song Dynasty court should die.

"The reform of government governance will inevitably have labor pains. If the officials are allowed to be corrupt and the people suffer, I will be in danger. Your Majesty should use heavy rules to deter corrupt officials and powerful officials in the world. ”

Hu Mengyu is young and vigorous, and like Song Ci, he wants to make drastic moves, reform the evils, and save the Song Dynasty from fire and water.

"Your Majesty is arbitrary, and the ministers act according to orders!"

Zhou Ping made a fuss, but what he said was the truth.

Whether it is anti-corruption and anti-corruption, or the implementation of new policies, as long as the emperor supports it, they just charge into battle.

"Secretaries, to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the important thing is the guarantee of the national system. The Anti-Corruption Department is the first step, and the reform of the government is the second step. ”

Zhao Hong really felt a headache.

No matter how big or small, he has to do it himself and guide him.

In the era of using literature to control force, didn't there even have a cool official to rectify officials?

"Thousands of people who are diligent in political affairs and are not greedy or inky will directly enter the court officer system; 7,000 people who are lazy and lazy will be assessed as officials, and those who will be selected will return to their old jobs, and the number should be half or more; As for the more than 2,000 officials who are greedy for ink, these people have been abolished and can no longer be used. These more than 2,000 people, more than 900 people who have committed many evils, and officials who have committed notorious crimes, have all been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department for punishment in accordance with the law. ”

Those who build roads and bridges, mine and dig coal, and reclaim land, I am afraid that a few thousand prisoners will not be enough.

"Your Majesty! Obey the order! ”

Song Ci was solemn and put down the stone in his heart.

According to the law, as long as the emperor speaks, he has no worries, and it doesn't hurt to be a cool official.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the officials and officials are all paid by the imperial court?"

Wang Gang asked ignorantly.

He thought that it was just to punish corruption, but he never thought that the emperor would make a big move to include Xu officials in the court official system.

This is really blinding his dog's eye!

Doctor Huanghuang and Xu officials are in the company, isn't this a fish and a dragon together, not a system?

"From today on, Xu officials belong to the state officials, enjoy the imperial court, pass the imperial court assessment, and have the same qualifications for promotion. The imperial court established a township-level administrative system in the countryside, and the imperial court appointed officials to govern, changing the situation that the imperial power did not go to the countryside for thousands of years, and the officials exercised power. ”

They are all doing things for the country, why can't officials be promoted?

Putting an end to the inclusion of favors and shadows in the state official system may be a good way to solve the problem of "redundant officials".

"The Anti-Corruption Department has set up corresponding subordinate supervision systems in each state capital and county to ensure the normal implementation of the reform of the administration of officials and the implementation of the new policy."

The mature township-level administrative system in later generations would greatly enhance the imperial court's control over the local area.

"Reuse a group, appease a large group, punish a group, punish a group with the law, use the army as a guarantee, and eradicate anyone who stands in the way without hesitation!"

Zhao Hong made decisions one by one, and his tone and methods were fierce.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Wang Gang, Hu Mengyu and Zhou Ping were all frightened.

The emperor clarified that Jiangnan East Road must be a bloody storm. How it will end is exciting.
