Just as officials from all over the country who arrived in Youzhou City were worried, time finally passed until December. Starting from December 1, local officials returned to the local government affairs and the Nine Ministry.
A few days passed in a flash. Logically, these officials could return to various places or leave them in Youzhou City. If there is no particularly important thing, they could also wait until the Spring Festival next year before returning. It can be said that Chaoji is also a vacation for officials.
During this month, local government affairs will be handled by local officials. Of course, when the world is peaceful, the Chaozhou gathers will be held every few years. During the peace period of Dayan, it will be once every three to five years.
But this time, these officials were explicitly told that they were not allowed to leave Youzhou City. King Zhao wanted to personally summon all officials in the middle of the month. This made these local officials even more nervous. Logically speaking, except for special circumstances, the monarch is generally
He will only summon some people, not all local officials. From this, these officials know that this time, there will be a big problem.
On December 13, King Zhao summoned all officials to hold a banquet in the Mingzheng Hall of the front office of the Zhao Palace, three provinces, two houses, nine departments, and various places of court officials. The three provinces, two houses, nine departments, the Shangshu, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister, the Minister
Officials of the third rank and third rank and above, including the Censorate of the Yuan Dynasty, Zongzheng Prefecture, various temples, departments, supervisors, etc., gathered together. Apart from them, the remaining hundreds of local officials were hundreds of local officials.
The entire Mingzheng Hall was filled with several dense cases, and the entire hall, hundreds of meters of land were all filled with officials. It can be said that the time of the dynasty was a summary of the situation in Zhao State, and it was also a gathering of officials in Zhao State.
Really quite a lot!
Of course, even the Mingzheng Hall where all officials attend court can hold so many officials. Therefore, this time, the court gathering was concentrated on the square outside the Mingzheng Hall. For this reason, the charcoal brazier alone is enough
There are so many hundred. The entire venue is filled with warm air.
Zhao Xun did not open up the problem at the beginning, and still raised his glasses with his ministers to drink. As for the local government affairs summarized by these officials, each department will take over, and this also needs to be reported one by one when meeting the king. Of course, if
If there is a special situation, it is a different matter.
At this moment, Zhao Xun sat high on the throne, leaning casually against the tall chair back, holding a huge glass of wine inlaid with dragon patterns in his hand, and occasionally raising his glasses from afar to drink with the ministers in the hall. The zither, zither, flute and flute
The sound of the sound came slowly.
Although the ministers in the palace seemed to be admiring the music and dance of the palace maids in the palace like King Zhao, most of them were carefully observing the king's every move. Because except for a very few people, no one else knew that
The king summoned important officials from various departments to gather all officials to gather together in Mingzheng Hall.
Most of the palace maids in the Zhao Palace and the palace maids dancing in His Highness are brought from the Luoyang City Palace. In addition, some are orphans selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At the end of the song, the dance ended! Zhao Xun put down his exquisite wine glass, applauded gently, and said to the palace maid dancer with a smile: "Very good, each person will receive ten silver coins! Get out!"
In an instant, the palace maids, musicians and dancers, heard that King Zhao rewarded them with volleys and thanked them. Ten silver coins were only ten taels of silver, not a small amount. And these palace maids could also be
Those who leave the house will save the money and will be their own private money in the future.
Of course, the court officials naturally would not pay attention to the rewards of King Zhao to these palace maids. Not to mention ten silver coins, ten gold coins, and hundreds of gold coins. At this moment, these ministers are afraid they don’t have the energy to pay attention.
But for them, ten silver coins are nothing. In Zhao State, the treatment of officials is quite good.
In an instant, the entire hall quieted down, and there were only the sound of the palace maids and musicians retreating. After these palace maids left, Zhao Xun spoke.
"I am in a very good mood today. This year, we took over the land of Dong Yongzhou. Now, Xuzhou is fully in control of my Great Zhao. It can be said that my Great Zhao is getting stronger and stronger now, becoming stronger and stronger
Haha, should you be happy with me?" Zhao Xun said with a big laugh.
"Congratulations to the King, God bless Da Zhao!" One person led the way, and all the officials and ministers all stood up and bowed to the ground. As Zhao Xun said, now the Great Zhao is getting stronger and stronger, and the Great Zhao is stronger, which means that they are
The future is getting better and better.
After the ministers congratulated him, the original smile on Zhao Xun's face gradually faded away. The ministers in the hall, who were originally smiling, immediately felt a little different from the changes in the king's expression, and the noise of the original noisy greetings gradually disappeared. Who said that
Everyone knows that today's main show is coming, and today's purpose is about to appear...
"Dai Yi, take the things summarized by the Hawkeye Department, the Shadow Department, and the Supervision Department to all the inspectors." Zhao Xun swept through the bodies of the ministers in the hall one by one, and waited until all the ministers were seen.
When the whole body is cold, he says loudly.
Dai Yi, the director of the Supervision Department who had been waiting outside, led several secret guards of the Supervision Department, carrying a thick stack of paper books, and responded to the sound. He sent the items he had prepared long ago to each court one by one.
In the hands of the staff.
"All the officials are central officials, take a look, take a look!" After every official in the hands of the three provinces, two courts, nine departments, and three departments, Zhao Xun said lightly. Although Zhao Xun's tone was plain
, but everyone felt a wave of pressure coming towards him, and even a solemn aura appeared with Zhao Xun's words.
"Sun Zhao, the governor of Yuyang Prefecture, colluded with the traitor merchants for personal gain, and used the government's money to buy expired moldy grain to serve the victims. Haha, Yuyang Prefecture, this is in Youzhou, how far is it from my Youzhou City?
Far? This is our base camp, and it is so now. What’s more hateful is that Sun Zhao is like this again and again, with high prices enough for the people to eat without mold."
"Lin Zhenghai, the governor of Yizhou Prefecture, accepted bribes from merchants. In order to seek personal gain and to help others for personal gain, he actually made up a crime and massacred the three major merchants. Haha... Yes, it's also from Youzhou. I didn't want to fight, this
The charge of colluding with Hei Shui Mohe, a small prefect dares to deal with it privately."
"Li Yunji, the governor of Hejian Prefecture, seized the property of his wife and daughter. When Li Yunji learned that he had not only investigated, but also deliberately concealed it and did not report it. He even secretly instructed the yamen runners to privately create crimes, trap people in prison, and put people to death.
”[
"Song Zhang, the governor of Weizhou Prefecture, had treacherous merchants in their place to raise prices, causing dissatisfaction among the people in the country, and even almost caused chaos in the public. Not only did he not deal with it, he instead took large bribes from merchants, helped others conceal and suppressed them.
Good people have caused many casualties."
"The Prime Minister of Shuozhou Prefecture..."
"The prefect of Dingxiang Prefecture..."
…………
Zhao Xun read out a letter about his own case and then threw it down vigorously under the hall. Each letter was illegal matter of a prefect, an instigator, an instructor, a tax envoy, etc.
All of them are detailed, including the number of time and number of people.
In just a moment, the ground of the Mingzheng Hall, which could have been shining with light, was already in a mess. It was densely covered with various illegal matters related to officials from the Shadow Department and the Hawkeye Department. Fortunately, there was no one.
After all, the illegal affairs of the state governor, Zhao State only received multiple supervision from all the actions of every state. These state governors naturally knew their position and did not deliberately do anything bad.
The governor's income is even more low.
Except for the very few officials in the court who had already known the situation, the rest of the court were crawling on the ground in fear. As for the officials who were named by Zhao Xun, they were even more limp at the ground. At this moment, they were already
I understand that their way of life is probably coming to an end.
"The person who came, pulled out these more than 40 people, beheaded on the spot, and made their crimes public. In addition to immediately posting the crimes of these people in the territory of Zhao, it must also be announced in the current affairs report of the Great Zhao State.
The king wants everyone to know that I, Da Zhao, will never tolerate these black sheep."
Before these officials could shout for mercy, the inner guards of the royal palace who had already been waiting outside dragged them out directly. Listening to the tragic cry, the begging for mercy gradually faded away, and the ministers in the hall trembled all over. After a while, more than 40 people
The head was brought back.
"Hanging it on the wall of Youzhou City, so that people all over the world can see what the corrupt officials who harm the people will end up with it." Zhao Xun looked at these heads coldly, waved his hand, and said coldly.
, "They get as much as they take from their home."
Zhao Xun did not make things difficult for the families of these criminals, but the illegal property they obtained by using their power was considered to be considered as a matter of nowhere.
"All get up!" Zhao Xun looked at the officials kneeling all over the ground and said indifferently, "Don't think that all of you are clean. I didn't call your name because you are not wrong too deeply.
I hope you will not become the next official whose head is cut off and hung on the city wall. As for those who make mistakes among you, go to the Censorate to surrender yourself and spit out all the illegal money you have obtained to me."
"Don't be lucky. If anyone deliberately conceals it and does not report it, then there must be your place on the flagpole above the city gate. The illegal behavior of each of you is recorded here, so I hope that
You can stand up by yourself, and this is also giving yourself a chance."
"A few days ago, my Da Zhao customized the new policy. Under the rule of Zhao, people from all over the country wrote tens of thousands of people and expressed their words to express their support for the court and their respect for officials. I think that even if you are not everyone, you are a beloved minister.
People sincerely go to serve their country and the people, but they will not harm the people. At least, you must be worthy of the praise of these people. But now, who do you deserve? Is worthy of your reliance on you?
Are you worthy of the people’s expectations of you?”
"My Great Zhao has not yet unified the world, and it is not time to enjoy peace. You do this, it is obvious that you are dragging my Great Zhao back. Do you want me to be like the princes in the south and like the Yan State?"
"You are all important ministers of my Great Zhao, but see what you have done? The treatment I Great Zhao gave you is not good? What I King gave you is not enough? Are you greedy or I am the one who is too
Too kind? Huh?"
Speaking of the last sentence, Zhao Xun's face was very ugly, and his murderous aura suddenly appeared, which made Pei Yi and others nervous. They were not afraid of King Zhao getting angry, but were afraid that King Zhao would give all these officials in anger.
It's a snap. If that's the case, it's definitely not a good thing for Zhao State.
Zhao Xun was extremely angry at this moment, and his roar resounded throughout the hall. Moreover, Zhao Xun did not hide the majestic murderous intention in his heart at the moment. Now it is not later generations, the country belongs to the public. Now this big Zhao is his own, these officials
Violent and fraud, corruption and abuse of power are just using your own things for personal gain. How can Zhao Xun allow it? It's like a boss of a large company who definitely doesn't like the employees below to take the company's property to their own homes, and he doesn't want them to borrow it.
The company's name is a rash act. Even if the boss doesn't care about some of the small actions of the employees below, these employees will never be allowed to hollow out the company until it goes bankrupt.
"Don't calm down!" Pei Yi said respectfully. He didn't want King Zhao to be really angry and ignored anything. Although he was extremely angry with these officials, he could not kill all of them. Otherwise, he would be afraid of the whole hall.
There are more than hundreds of officials, and there are a few left.
"I want to calm my anger! I don't want to get angry either! But you can see what you have done for yourself, I believe in you, the people believe in you, but you can see what they have done for yourself?"
Zhao Xun still understood Pei Yi's intention and slightly suppressed his murderous intent. Indeed, although many officials had illegal things, most of them were punished and died, and many were implicated.
, or someone is pulled into the water, or a minor crime.
"If the order is passed on, all businessmen involved in the case will be punished for death and confiscated. All local officials and minor officials involved in the case will be punished seriously. The Ministry of Justice and the Censorate, you will join the Supervision Department to conduct a strict investigation on the governments in various places. The Ministry of Personnel will immediately follow the
Among the minor officials and assistant officials in various places, choose the right officials to replace the dismissed officials. Even if I stop the southern expedition, I will first clean up my Da Zhao from beginning to end."
"In addition, all officials with good achievements will be promoted. With so many positions vacant, I will naturally praise those officials who sincerely serve the people."[
"According to the world, from now on, all the people in the world can anonymously report the illegal acts of local officials. Any secret reports will be subject to the Supervision Department, and the Censorate will work together to verify the secret reports written by the people in the world."
As soon as Zhao Xun said this, Pei Yi and others were shocked. In this way, the sword of Damox was hung on the heads of officials in the world. Officials from all over the world, civil and military officials must be careful when doing things.
"King, that's it..." Pei Yi hesitated, "If someone falsely accused him, that would be..."
Zhao Xun said indifferently: "Isn't there any of my secret guards and the Censorate working together to check? I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. If I do something wrong, I should be severely punished. If I don't do it, how can I be afraid of others.
False accusation?"
Zhao Xun is extremely annoyed now. Besides, how many officials are there in the world and how many scholars are there? Most scholars are unable to apply their talents and knowledge in practice and can also be used. That is, I am afraid that Zhao State will lose people.
Being an official? Falsification? Sacrifice one or two officials is more cost-effective than sacrificing millions of people.
Of course, these thoughts are just Zhao Xun's extremely angry thoughts. As for slandering, I don't know how many people die unjustly because of inaction by officials every day. Even if one or two officials are slandered, as long as they can make the world
It is worth it for officials to be careful about their behavior.
Seeing that King Zhao's face was indifferent and had no change in words at all, Pei Yi and others understood that King Zhao was determined to open the big net and put these officials in it.
"Censorate, Ministry of Personnel, one of your two major departments is to supervise the world and the other is to verify the achievements of local officials. But what have you done in recent years? Looking at the situation in front of you, each of you has the best of the best.
Good positions are all with high salaries that others may not get in their entire lives, but have you been thinking about the Great Zhao and the King?"
"There are all prefectures and every county in Dazhao, and every county in every prefecture, and every county in Dazhao, and they are all obtained by the soldiers with their lives. Every prefecture under Dazhao, every county in Dazhao is my Dazhao
At the foundation, every citizen is my great Zhao people, and the people of this king. They work hard, sweat and pay taxes. The monthly salary each of you receive from the court is covered with the blood and sweat of these hundred faiths.
Have you ever felt the slightest while you were frugal? The people have offered you, but are you treating those who have supported yourself in this way? Are you not afraid of those dead souls who are questioning you at night?”
"Especially the Censorate, which has inspectors everywhere, and inspectors and censors who are inspecting all over the country at any time. But what is the result? No problem was found, but many people have made contributions to local officials. They are no longer the case.
The corpse is in vain, but it is destroying my big Zhao root."
"When the order is passed, all inspectors who are in prefectures where the beheaded officials are dismissed from office and investigated. All inspectors who write letters to these officials will be dismissed from office and investigated. All officials of the Censorate who receive the benefits of these officials will be dismissed from office and investigated.
.In addition, from the moment on, the inspectors from all over the country separated from each other, one was light and one was dark, each inspecting the local situation, and changed every year. The inspectors and censors sent to various places were also light and dark. This is not the case.
The inspector and the inspector are both open and secret, and the left and right censors are responsible for the left and right censors. The summary situation is also divided into the left and right censors."
"In addition, the Ministry of Personnel's assessment cannot be determined based solely on the local livelihood, case incidence rate, case resolution rate and tax revenue reported by officials. In addition, the local development must be compared with the previous one.
, there will be cooperation between the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Commerce and other departments. I hope that the Ministry of Personnel will not neglect its duties and such problems will arise. This time, except for the Ministry of Personnel, there are people or many of the other eight departments.
Maybe you have less interest in dealing with officials from all over the country. I also warn you that you should know what you can collect and what you cannot collect. After you continue, return all the things you shouldn't take to the Supervisory Office."
