Chapter 53 The Great Anti-Corruption
Lu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Bai Yong is indeed a talented person, but he is not a handsome person. I have my own opinions at that time. Uncle doesn't have to worry, I will definitely do this." Then Lu Yunzhi asked again Rong said: "You ordered someone to find the young Yanbei from Tianjin. The next thing you and Yanbei need to cooperate with will be implemented."
At this time, several internal supervisors ran in and whispered to Lu Yunzhi that the emperor had secretly entered the mansion and waited.
Lu Yunzhi answered the internal supervisors, and then said to the people in the hall: "Okay, let's make arrangements first, let's prepare for each of you. If there is any problem, let's discuss the matter." Everyone dispersed and Fang Qingze left. He stopped after two steps, and then said, "Third brother, the collusion between officials and businessmen has remained unchanged forever, but this time the second brother did something, and he caused a big mess to you. I'm sorry."
Lu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Okay, why are you mother-in-law and mother? Didn't you say it just now? Remember, you are my second brother. Even if you break the sky, your third brother will take care of you as long as you have the ability. But I will tell you first. This time I am making up for the remedial of corrupt officials, tyrants, tyrants, cunning dealers. If some officials are involved or the interests of my second brother are damaged, just don’t blame me. Of course, don’t worry, I will never touch your foundation.”
Fang Qingze nodded, smiled slightly and patted Lu Yunzhi all in silence. This is brother.
Lu Yunzhi quickly walked to the side room, where Zhu Qizhen and Cao Jixiang were wearing casual clothes. The two had the most expensive identities, but Xuanlai met with Lu Yunzhi and arranged them in the side room. The two of them were not at all unhappy. Regardless of where Lu Yunzhi's real strength was, they said that the country is facing turmoil in its own right now, so they can't care about face or not. As soon as they received a notice from the hero of the Hidden Ministry, Cao Jixiang was busy. Reported to Zhu Qizhen, the king and his ministers came hurriedly.
Lu Yunzhi bowed his hands and said to Zhu Qizhen, "I am Lu Yunzhi, please see the emperor." Zhu Qizhen hurried forward: "I don't have to be too polite. Is the situation becoming more urgent? Why do you ask me and Cao Aiqing to meet me? .”
"Because what we said next must be discussed in secret, the palace is not very safe, only my house can prevent the partition walls from being exposed." Lu Yunzhi said lightly,
After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen was shocked. The palace was not safe anymore. Wouldn't it be a man who was the slaughter and I was a fish? Now the chaos in the world is about to begin? Zhu Qizhen's face was pale and could not say it. By the way, Zhu Qizhen's throne has not yet sat on the hot side, but after several changes, he was a little scared.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not that someone wants to usurp the throne." Lu Yunzhi saw what Zhu Qizhen wanted to comfort him. Zhu Qizhen then breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yunzhi said before he could ask questions: " I am afraid that the inner prison in the palace is not controlled by Eunuch Cao, so it is inevitable that there will be other people's eyes and ears. The things I want to say this time involve too many people, so I asked the emperor to come to the empress's house to discuss matters and hope the emperor will atone for his sins."
Cao Jixiang smiled and said disdainfully: "Who made Mr. Lu so afraid? Let me tell us that I will send Dongchang and Jinyiwei to deal with those eyesightless guys."
Lu Yunzhi did not be polite to Cao Jixiang, waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of them, but this successive domestic turmoil was caused by civil unrest due to corruption and inaction by officials, so although the war is now We should have waited for the current situation to stabilize before rectifying the official system, but the fire at the city gate will cause disaster. I am afraid that the people's anger will burn the camp. If we do not punish them severely, I am worried that the suffering people in the world will rebel."
"Therefore, we must crack down on and investigate and deal with it now. However, once the inspection is very important, officials at all levels are involved. If they say disrespectful words, including the emperor's relatives and Eunuch Cao, if they are asked to know in advance, the first step is to increase the handling of the case. The difficulty, secondly, will be quite unfavorable to the current war. When they know that they will be investigated strictly, they will be cautious at first and then know the determination and strength of the court, and then they will fight to the trapped beasts, giving us a military and national plan. "Lu Yunzhi said,
Cao Jixiang was sweating coldly behind him. Why did Lu Yunzhi tell him about his corruption in front of Zhu Qizhen? But he was not surprised to look at Zhu Qizhen, the confused emperor in his eyes, and he didn't beat him. Cha, just said: "Brother Lu is just as you said that there are too many aspects involved. I think you should grasp the degree and not overcorrect it."
Cao Jixiang secretly provoked Big Thumb Brother. Zhu Qizhen was not as idiotic as he saw at the critical moment. He knew the king's balance. Cao Jixiang asked, "I don't know what Lord Lu called me to come."
"We are all our own family members and don't talk outsiders. Now, in addition to the emperor, there are also four forces in the world. I, Eunuch Cao, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen's remnants." Lu Yunzhi said frankly, Cao Jixiang Nodded without denying it,
Lu Yunzhi paused for a moment and said, "Although you don't know about their corruption and the vassal kings in various places are also calm, but the imperial concubines have done a lot of things behind your back. Among the corrupt officials to deal with this time, there are Many of them are royal relatives, so I am not convenient to say in the palace that I am afraid that the eunuchs bought by the concubines in the harem will know, and now I say that I will report to the emperor that I should not let the concubines blow the pillow wind hinder our cleaning plan."
"I must fully support my brother. I will never give up halfway for one or two concubines." Zhu Qizhen expressed his opinion, and Cao Jixiang was not nervous, but although Lu Yunzhi said that he said Understand that Cao Jixiang himself could not take the initiative to take it. In very artistic terms, "The subordinates must also restrain their subordinates and cooperate with Lord Lu's work. Once there is a scum, I will never protect him and severely punish him."
Lu Yunzhi clasped his fists and said, "I thanked the emperor for his kindness, and thanked Eunuch Cao for his support. One of the reasons for meeting with you today is that you have your approval and cooperate with my work. This time, the investigation of the officialdom is not used. My direct descendant, Lu, is a foreign official. This young man is extremely honest. The person he chose is also a person as honest as him. To put it bluntly, this young man probably won't care about any royal relatives. It is still from the Dongchang or the Jinyiwei, and even my subordinates cannot escape the cleaning. The country now needs such a iron head. People who dare to offend and behead the risk of investigating the people to the end. Of course, honesty does not mean they have the ability. Our Ming Dynasty The problem with the official system is that the salary is too small, and officials have to be greedy. The people dealt with this time are those greedy and incompetent officials. I am not allowed to move those capable officials who have to be greedy for normal interactions and administration. Therefore, The Lord doesn’t have to worry about overcorrecting the normal operation of the country.”
