Luoyang.

It is located in the middle of the Great Wei Kingdom.

It was originally one of the largest cities in the world, and after the joint efforts of He Shen and Shen Wansan, its city layout has far surpassed the former capital Chang'an, and even became the first city in the world.

It is a little more magnificent than Emperor Wu City, which is far away from the sea.

Emperor Wu City has always been rumored to be the first city in the world before, because people who have been to Emperor Wu City know that the pattern and city wall of Emperor Wu City or in terms of architectural structure can be called the first male city in the world, it is much higher than the imperial capital city wall of the Tang Kingdom.

But it is such a town, if compared with Luoyang, the new capital of today's Great Wei Dynasty, it is a little insufficient, which is enough to show how magnificent and luxurious Luoyang City is today.

So far, the city of Luoyang has become a veritable first city in the world.

The imperial palaces of Wei are built according to the pattern of the old palace of Chang'an, but it is much larger than the old palace, such as the previous Chengde Palace, which can accommodate hundreds of civil and military officials, but now the Chengde Hall in Luoyang City, even if it can accommodate hundreds of people standing side by side, it is not a problem at all.

Not only is the space bigger, but it's also more luxurious than before.

The palace roofs or gold pillars that can be seen everywhere are really all made of gold.

And the dragon pattern stone carving in the middle of the royal road in front of the Chengde Palace, are all gold sculptures, according to the meaning of Heshen, that is, the imperial court gave too much money to build the new capital, and there was no place to spend it, so it had to be icing on the cake in some places in the imperial city.

No matter what, Zhao Changqing is still very satisfied with the construction of this new capital.

He summoned hundreds of civil and military officials in the Chengde Hall and said to them: "You Aiqing have seen it, right? This is Xindu, and it will also be the place where you will work for your family and country in the future, all thanks to Shen Wansan and He Shen. Shen Wansan is a person who loves money all his life, and I have nothing to reward him, so I gave him a few Danshu iron coupons and death-free gold medals as heirlooms of his old Shen family, so that he can pass them on from generation to generation. As for He Shen, he has worked hard and made great achievements, and I plan to let him take the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, what objections do you have to Aiqing?"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials looked at each other.

Isn't it always your idea to do things like this?

Ask us, do we dare to disagree?

So, the ministers shouted together: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

After the ministers expressed their 'opinions', He Shen knelt down alone, and thanked him: "Wei Chen and Shen Xie Your Majesty is mighty Longen, and in the future, they will definitely die for my Great Wei Jiangshan Society!"

Zhao Changqing was tired of hearing this, so he simply didn't take it seriously.

Shen Wansan did not go to the palace this time because he was a businessman and could not go to the court, and Zhao Changqing did not give him any specific official rewards, so he let him wait in the Xuanzheng Palace.

After the main hall was quiet again, Zhao Changqing spoke again: "Many of you may ask me, why Zeng Lin, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, did not come here today, it stands to reason that the first court meeting after the relocation of the capital, all civil and military officials will be there, after all, some personnel scheduling must be explained."

You Aiqing don't need to be suspicious, according to the investigation of Jinyiwei, Zeng Lin did not hesitate to persecute the common people in order to use his power for personal gain, and when he was building the canal fortifications, he killed a village, more than 60 young and strong people. In fact, you can understand corruption, after all, how can officials in the world not be greedy? But you can be greedy for money, and you must not kill yourself, this is my bottom line, and it is also the bottom line of Wei.

If anyone touches this bottom line, I will let him die ugly, the position of the Ministry of Works, I think about it, or leave it to Heshen. Please remember what I said, it's okay to be greedy for money, but it's not okay to kill people, otherwise, I will clean you up one by one.

Retreat!"

Zhao Gao stood aside and announced his retreat in a sharp voice.

The Manchu civil and military forces were shocked.

They all froze in place, a little overwhelmed.

It's okay to make money, but it's okay to kill people?

Is this what the emperor should have said?

How do you listen to it, how do you feel it, it's like a faint king said it.

But our majesty, can he be a faint king?

Obviously, it's definitely not!

So, this sentence must be revealing something else.

Could it be that His Majesty wanted to cleanse the court and knock on the mountains and shake the tiger, so he said these words?

The intention is to make it possible for officials across the country to be greedy for money?

But every tael of silver embezzled is the people's fat and the people's anointing!

If officials across the country were to engage in corruption with impunity, would those ordinary people still have a better life?

The lives of ordinary people will be difficult because of this!

It may even endanger the lives of ordinary people!

In this way, doesn't it touch the bottom line of what His Majesty just said, 'Don't kill yourself'?

Oh my!

Your Majesty is so scheming!

Want to take this opportunity to test the reaction of officials across the country, see if those people have the potential to be corrupt officials, and then clean up together?

Normally, as long as an official wants to be corrupt, he will definitely not be able to resist the temptation and go to the road of crime!

In this way, isn't it just that Your Majesty will naturally clean up the corrupt officials in the world?

Your Majesty's imperial scheming is becoming more and more perfect!

It's heart-wrenching!

Fortunately, I knew His Majesty's true thoughts in time, no, I had to hurry up and report to my protégé and former officials, and we must not engage in corruption, especially in the recent period, we must not engage in corruption!

So, in this way, there was a period of the most politically honest time in the entire Wei State.

This period of political honesty was sung by later generations, and there was also an allusion called: 'Move the capital to be honest'.

On the way to the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial City of Luoyang, Zhao Changqing and He Shen walked together one after the other.

He smiled at He Shen behind him: "It took a long time to build the imperial city, and the amount of money required is as much as when I rebuilt Qingzhou, so you must have embezzled a lot of silver taels over the years, right?"

He Shen was half frightened by Zhao Changqing's words, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the heart of Weichen's fist can be seen from the sun and the moon, this time to build the imperial city, Weichen really didn't dare to touch half a cent of silver, and every silver tael was spent just right, the household department and the ministry have file records, which can be read by His Majesty at any time, and even the Ministry of Industry has recorded all the consumables needed to build the imperial city, and all kinds of file files can prove that Weichen is really not corrupt!"

As he spoke, he knelt down.

He Shen is telling the truth, he really has no corruption.

Not only did there be no corruption, but also saved Zhao Changqing a lot of silver.

But he didn't believe it!

He didn't believe that such a person as He Shen, who was so notorious in history, would give up this great opportunity and not be corrupt?

He said, "It's okay if you're corrupt, I promise you that I really won't blame you, and I will reward you for daring to tell me the truth!"

Zhao Changqing now wants to quickly determine whether He Shen is corrupt or not.

Because he was prompted by the system, he said that the system would wake up in half a year.

And this time it only woke up after the upgrade.

The system will return with a new look.

It gave him a sense of anticipation.

Will the system upgrade bring something different?

At this time, it is the time when madness needs mediocrity!

Time is running out!

Now that all countries are united, the international situation is changing all the time.

After years of struggle, the Wei State only won one-third of the land of the Jin State, and this one-third of the land has not yet been completely stabilized.

This made Zhao Changqing feel a little anxious.

When the first emperor swept Liuhe, it took only nine years to dominate the world.

And because of this bit of land in the Jin Kingdom, he has wasted a few years.

If this continues, I am afraid that the period of domination of the world limited by the system will not be completed.

When the system wakes up, be sure to ask it for yourself what that mysterious reward is.

When He Shen heard the emperor's promise-like tone, he was completely frightened, as if he had lost his soul, he knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's true! It's true! Wechen swears that there is absolutely no corruption, if Wechen embezzles one or two pieces of silver, let Wechen thunder five times in the sky, and he won't die well!"
