Not only the name, but also the official position and place of origin are clearly marked.

Among them, there are many names that Liang Yi is more familiar with.

Among them, the largest official positions are the ministers of the Ministry of Shangshu to the ministers of Jun, and the books of the Ministry of Household Books Yan, all of whom are members of the dynasty from the first grade.

The rest of the people were distributed in various locations in the court.

Among the left squire of the Ministry of War, the right squire of the Ministry of Works, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Rites, there is not one of the six departments left.

Even the Dali Temple Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Imperial History of the Inspection Institute.

Even the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Jingzhao Mansion were not spared.

Looking at the dense names, Liang Yi frowned.

If these are traced, Shangjing will not kill people.

Now it seems that the imperial court still can't move the big fish here.

Sure enough, after Liang Yi returned the chapter to Emperor Zhou, Chu Mengde saluted Emperor Zhou worriedly and said:

"Your Majesty, the extent of the involvement in this corruption case is unheard of, if you want to investigate it deeply......

Chu Mengde didn't continue, but everyone present understood the meaning.

Basically all the departments in the imperial court that can be named are basically involved, and if all of them are investigated to the end, then the imperial court will not be able to operate for even a day.

This is the reason why the law does not hold the public accountable.

In the current situation, the most important thing for the imperial court is to maintain stability.

Let's just catch a few typical knocks and shake the tiger, and then slowly settle down after this difficult time has passed.

Emperor Zhou also understood this truth, but those people were greedy for ink not for anything else, but for the entire 2.5 million stone relief grain.

Now that natural disasters are everywhere and people are everywhere, if we don't have these foods, I don't know if we can survive until after the autumn harvest.

Even if it can survive until the autumn harvest, judging from the current situation, Huainan, Central Plains and other production areas are afraid that there will not be a grain of rice this year.

Shudi and Guanzhong alone can't feed so many people.

Wang Deshui was also very anxious.

Among the three princes, he is the one who has the most direct understanding of human suffering.

Now Shangjing has received 180,000 refugees, and has been hanging on to Chen Mi in the treasury.

The porridge of the charity is getting thinner and thinner, and it looks like it will be unbearable.

Every day people die, every day there are people who make trouble.

Now they can still live, few people are willing to make trouble with them, and if their bowl of gruel is broken one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now the imperial court is in a dilemma.

or investigate to the end, kill tens of thousands of heads, stop the court, and destroy the country;

Or just take a few small shrimps and maintain the overall situation, and hundreds of thousands of hungry people are waiting to starve to death.

Emperor Zhou felt that his head was starting to hurt again.

He slowly turned his head to look at Liang Yi, with some helplessness on his face.

"Do you know why your policy in the Chaoyang Palace cannot be implemented? Copying is not something that can be copied casually. ”

"This world is not only the world of the widows, but also the world of scholars and wealthy families."

"The emperor can be changed when he is dead, and the dynasty will be changed when the royal family is gone, only these scholars and wealthy families are the real masters of this country."

Liang Yi nodded silently.

At this point, he really didn't expect that the imperial court forces were intertwined, and the usual dismissal of a four-grade general government could affect the whole body, let alone copy the homes of two Shangshu.

In the court, most of the officials are from the scholar family, even if they are not children of the family, there will be a wealthy family behind them to support them, except for the three dukes.

Among the three dukes, Chu Mengde is a son of a poor family, Wang Deshui was a farmer in the era, and Ling Zi was born in the army, all of which were hand-drawn by Emperor Zhou, and he had been assisted for many years when Emperor Zhou was still a hidden dragon.

Even these three are helpless in the face of the intricate imperial court, otherwise they will not be spared from the prison, government, and military.

But......

Looking at Emperor Zhou, who was obviously only in his fifties with gray hair and a face like a dying man, Liang Yi sighed.

When the emperor was in this position, Emperor Zhou was really a little aggrieved.

Judging from today's situation in the Chaoyang Palace, most people should know that Chu Mengde is investigating this matter.

But no one seems to care.

They handled the emperor and the three dukes very accurately.

No way! You can't let this matter be given so lightly.

He also wants to expand his territory and colonize the sea in the future!

At the beginning, he was pressed by the family, so in the future, he must not let people pee on his head!

What is the difference between this and Emperor Wu of Jin?

When the emperor is in this position, it is better to revolt and overthrow.

Overthrow your own emperor yourself, and let the rebels worry more.

After going through this matter in his mind, Liang Yi slowly bowed:

"Father, the son has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Emperor Zhou frowned:

"Don't sell it, just say it!"

Liang Yi straightened up and talked eloquently:

"Now that the state is in danger, you ministers don't want to repay the kindness of the country's soldiers for a hundred years, even if they are greedy for food and fill their pockets, they really deserve to be killed."

"The concerns of my father, Lord Chu and Lord Wang are too extensive to end."

"If all these thieves are killed, the imperial court will inevitably be suspended, if they are not killed, they will continue to investigate, and the food will be recovered, and the imperial city will be crushed by the hungry victims sooner or later."

Emperor Zhou nodded, with a slight look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although these are only relatively simple and easy to understand, as a prince who has not been in contact with government affairs for many years, this is already very remarkable.

After patrolling the faces of several people, Liang Yi continued:

"I guess, the next plan of the two adults is to pull out a few painless but high-grade officials in the court to punish them."

I opened the piece and pointed to a few names.

"I think these people are very suitable."

Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui leaned over to look at the name that Liang Yi was referring to.

"Taichang Siqing, Yang Feng"

"Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, Qiao Xuan"

"Guozi Priest Wine, Zhao Guoliang"

“……”

It's true that they are all positions with high positions but little weight.

Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui were overjoyed, but they didn't expect the prince to think clearly about the future in a few moments, and the punishment was just right, not light or heavy.

Looking at the two who were still secretly discussing, Liang Yi continued:

"As for the problem of food shortage, the only way to do this is to impose additional grain taxes on the southern provinces."

"And you have to collect it quickly, and you have to finish the work of relocating the victims before autumn, otherwise the domestic turmoil will give Beiliang a chance to take advantage of."

Emperor Zhou nodded, which coincided with what he said.

Just as he wanted to praise a few words, he didn't expect Liang Yi to change his words.

"With all due respect, this kind of plan can only solve the urgent need, not for a long time, and whether it can be achieved is two words."

The satisfaction on Emperor Zhou's face turned to surprise.

"How so? I think this is the most effective way to do it right now. ”

Liang Yi shook his head again and again.

"Not to mention that the southern provinces originally relied on Jianghuai for support, and they couldn't collect much grain."

"Moreover, this year's Jianghuai and Shandong harvests, and the increase in grain taxes may only make more people unable to survive the autumn harvest."
