Chang'an in June has turned into a furnace.

Naturally, as in previous years, Liu Che took his concubines and hid in Ganquan Mountain to escape the summer heat.

"Liu Biguang confessed and committed suicide?" Liu Che soaked in the hot spring, looked at the memorial in front of him, and pursed his lips.

Those who died with Liu Biguang also included his queen, prince, and several sons who were deeply resented by the people.

Although Liu Che was soft-hearted, he was reluctant to kill the concubines and heirs left.

But there was no Virgin either, but they were imprisoned.

After one or two generations of this, it will be released only when the hatred is gone.

But before Liu Piguan died, he did something personal!

"Liu Xian, Liu Xian, Liu Zhi..." Liu Che read the names of these three princes and kings.

Compared with Liu Piguang, these three people can only be said to be outstanding for a while.

Liu Piguang shook off all the shabby things they had done.

That's enough to make these three scumbags 'dead innocently'.

In fact, there was no need for Liu Biguang to shake them off. In the past few days, Liu Che's court case had already been piled up with memorials accusing them.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.

Adding insult to injury has always been a bureaucracy's specialty.

only……

How many of Qilu's bureaucrats, especially these four officials, are clean?

At least according to Liu Biguang's confession, at least 70% of his senior officials and staff are bastards who follow him and do all kinds of evil!

"Zhuan Tingwei, Taichang and Zhi Jinwu..." Liu Che closed his eyes and ordered: "All criminal officials must be punished severely! Don't be burdened, if you find one, deal with it!"

"Send someone to tell Zhi Jinwu, it's less than eight hundred stones, as long as the evidence is conclusive. Zhi Jinwu can execute the law on the spot!"

"Those who are more than a thousand stones and are found guilty will be given poisonous wine and white silk ribbons!"

These people, these corrupt officials, are living in a sluggish way.

Staying in this world is also a waste of food!

Besides, this year's examinations are about to begin.

Eliminating these people will free up many positions for those who take the exams.

You know, Liu Che has been worrying recently, as the exams continue to progress.

As the number of scholars increases, sooner or later there may be a situation similar to that of later generations where it is difficult for college students to find a job and for research monks to find a job.

And problems like this will always be a big problem in future generations. I don’t know how many people’s hair has turned gray!

As for now...

Once something like this happens.

The consequences are very serious!

It can even be described as a disaster!

Liu Che simply could not imagine the terrifying scene of thousands or even tens of thousands of candidates waiting to be assigned positions in Chang'an in the future.

In a sense, finding positions for these guys will become Liu Che's main work direction for a long time in the future.

Now, take advantage of this opportunity to clear out a group of bad guys in Qilu, and then promote those scholars who have performed outstandingly in the past few years to positions in Qilu.

And the positions they vacated were taken by new scholars.

In this way, it not only gives jobs to the scholars and solves the employment problem, but also allows people all over the world to see that it is good to pass the examination. As long as you have the ability, you will be promoted like a rocket.

What's more important is that through this purge, the Han family can completely control Qilu from now on.

Let this place, which has always been against Chang'an, be quiet.

"King Qi and King Jiaodong, what do you plan to do?" Ji An asked in a low voice beside Liu Che.

Liu Che opened his eyes and said: "Tell Tingwei and Taichang. King Qi and King Jiaodong not to move. Just check their officials..."

No matter how you say it, King Liu Jianglu of Qi was once a stepping stone for Liu Che.

I think back then, Liu Che relied on Liu Jianglu to rise to power.

Even if you only consider this issue, you still have to show your respect to Liu Jianglu.

After all, this is a living reputation machine.

What's more, Liu Jianglu's problem is not big.

He didn't oppress the people much either.

This is not because Liu Jianglu has a conscience.

But he doesn’t need it at all!

Just relying on Linzi's tax and commercial taxes, he can earn thousands of dollars a year!

Among the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jianglu was second only to the king of Liang, Liu Wu, and the former king of Wu, Liu Bi!

What's more, Liu Jianglu was so sensible that he sent three counties as gifts to Liu Che's precious daughter without blinking an eye.

If this was the case, it would be somewhat unkind if Liu Che still wanted to mess with him, and he would be said to be Liu Che coveting his land in Qi.

This is not a good reputation!

As for Jiaodong King Liu Xiongqu, although he was a bit of a bastard, he didn't do too many bad things!

The most important thing is that his son Liu De is very angry with Liu Che.

Liu De, Liu Che's cousin who has the same name as Liu Che, has been helping Liu Che train shipbuilding craftsmen and search for shipbuilding methods in recent years.

The Jiaodong Kingdom now has the largest shipyard of the Han Dynasty besides the shipyard in Jiangdu.

Liu Che valued this naval base very much.

Therefore, I am not going to touch him.

Of course, after this incident, Liu Che had already made a decision.

That is to continue to gather the power of the princes and kings!

In the past, princes and kings had the privilege of appointing officials of more than one thousand stone and less than two thousand stone.

Relying on these privileges, they can naturally dominate and dominate.

Even that bastard Liu Xuan took out his official positions and clearly marked their prices and started an auction.

Liu Che can't bear it!

"Prepare an edict!" Liu Che looked at Ji An: "From now on, all princes and kings in the world, except for the King of Liang and Jiangdu, have the power to appoint and dismiss officials with more than 400 stone. Let Taichang prepare and select from among the famous people in the world.

A person of high moral character should be a prince, king, or tutor, and he should teach him carefully so that the story of Jinan cannot happen again!"

This is actually something that should have been done a long time ago.

In the original history, after the Wu-Chu Rebellion, Liu Che's father spent three years slowly returning all these powers to the central government.

But after Liu Che ascended the throne, this process stalled.

Now, after what happened in Jinan, Liu Che certainly can no longer tolerate such a situation.

"No!" Ji An kowtowed and left.

"Qi State..." Liu Che shook his head.

Although he was not prepared to cause trouble to Liu Jianglu.

But this does not mean that Liu Jianglu will be out of trouble.

Uncle Wang is still in big trouble!

For nothing else.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Qi is the world's number one economic power, and those who have been eyeing it, from Empress Lu to the present, can at least put together a strengthened platoon!

It's Liu Che, if he hadn't been the emperor already.

I'm afraid I should also be very interested in that big country whose legal income alone is as much as ten million yuan and thousands of gold every year.

As far as Liu Che knew, except for Liu Yan, who wanted to return to the Central Plains, almost all of his brothers had the idea of ​​​​Qi.

Even Liu Rong came over and bowed his head to Liu Che because of this.

Liu Che was also worried about whether he could keep his Qi country under the covetousness of his brothers.

After all, as long as his brothers unite and kick Liu Jianglu to Linjiang Changsha in the East Palace, it is not impossible.

Put these things aside.

Liu Che ordered Wang Dao: "Go and get me the report from the Xiuyi Guards!"
