"Xiaochuan, the Jinyiwei organization is bloated and has many shortcomings. I don't know exactly how many people there are now, let alone you, Zhu Xiaochuan. Especially the establishment of the health offices in various places is a mess. Every year, Jinyiwei is given a salary At the time of payment, Chen Wenqi will come to file a lawsuit with me..." Li Wanjiang looked at Zhu Xiaochuan again.
"Your Majesty." Zhu Xiaochuan couldn't say anything right at this moment, so he simply remained silent.
"I think we should simply abolish all the local Jinyi health clinics. This way I can save worry and the local government can rest assured. Otherwise, if they are shaking all day long and cannot sleep well, how can they think of doing anything for me? Besides, what are the functions of these health clinics? It is also extremely limited. Duan Fengnian rebelled, and there is no news at all the Jinyi Guards in Langya. What a joke!"
"I obey the decree!" Zhu Xiaochuan said, "But I think it cannot be cut across the board, and we should still have some reservations. For example, Jiangnan, Jiangdong, Minzhou, Jiuxi, Jingzhou and other places cannot be abolished."
"Well...then you can do it," Li Wanjiang said, "If it's done, it will be a waste of time."
After all, he is still guilty.
Chen Wenqi and Li Wanjiang also all received admonitions, and each of them was also fined two years' salary. The words should be neither light nor serious, and the punishment should be neither painful nor itchy. In short, if there is nothing, then encourage someone, and if there is something, change it.
Finally, I asked Zhao Yu for his opinion. What opinion could Zhao Yu have? I can only say that the emperor is wise.
Everyone suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that the emperor and these ministers joined forces to put on a show for us?
Because if you take a closer look, you will find that although Zhao Yu participated in these ministers in public, with fierce and impassioned words, the matter he was involved in was actually not serious. In the final analysis, it was a crime of oversight.
It can be big or small, or even dispensable.
Xiao Chen's crime sounds very serious, but it is something that everyone knows. Even if Zhao Yu doesn't say it, everyone is aware of it.
After Zhao Yu said it, the emperor did not go into details and even comforted Xiao Chen. This is like a scar hidden under gauze. You think you will see blood dripping when you take off the gauze, but unexpectedly it is not painful or itchy. It turns out that the wound has already healed...
In other words, both the Emperor and Xiao Chen are fine, and others will stop looking for trouble in the future!
Gong Shouli was not an important official of the imperial court, but just a confidant of the emperor. This boy never made big mistakes, but he kept making small mistakes, but no matter what mistakes he made, he was loyal to the emperor. This is something that everyone knows and cannot doubt.
So no matter how much the emperor dotes on him and protects him, no one else can say anything. Even the old man Chen Jisheng, who was jealous of his enemies, never touched him...
However, the emperor's treatment of him was the most severe. He kept saying that he would have his house confiscated and punished for his crimes, showing a selfless and unselfish appearance.
But in fact, you are stupid to think that this is impossible. First of all, Gong Shouli is just a little more arrogant and domineering and greedy for more money. You really can't ask him about other crimes.
Secondly, he had just made great achievements in pacifying Langya County and was seriously injured. Even his nemesis Xiao Chen praised his performance highly, and he also had a good reputation in the army.
He gave the emperor face and refused to receive any rewards. For this reason alone, it was impossible for the emperor to punish him.
Thirdly, I don’t know which master gave this kid the guidance. Not long ago, he generously donated more than two million silver to handle the case for Prince Xuanping Li Qiu.
Later, the case was settled and the money was recovered, but Gong Shouli was uncharacteristically determined not to give it up. Why did he, a eunuch, need so much money?
Now that the country is in dire straits, all the money can be used to support the imperial court...
Don't you blame the emperor for loving him so much?
What emperor wouldn't love such a well-behaved and sensible slave?
Therefore, Li Wanjiang asked him to disclose his family property, not to punish him, but to protect him. As long as he can fully explain the source of his family's property, no one can use this matter to impeach him in the future!
So what is the purpose of the emperor, Zhao Yu and all the adults joining together to perform such a play? Naturally, we still need to rectify the officialdom!
By the way, Zhao Yulian, the prince, marquis and the ministers most relied on by the emperor all participated in the performance. If someone else participates in the performance in the future, who will be able to fart?
Let’s not talk about what happened before, everyone had better be careful in the future...
"Your Majesty, I still have this memorial!" However, Zhao Yu hasn't finished speaking yet, "I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to prohibit all counties from giving charcoal and ice homage to officials of various ministries in the capital!"
"Oh, maybe this matter can be discussed later?" Li Wanjiang was a little hesitant.
The so-called Tan Jing and Bing Jing are not actually regulations. They are just inherited from the previous dynasty and are used to it both inside and outside the court. Of course, Li Wanjiang knew that this was wrong, but he never banned it. He just turned a blind eye and pretended to be confused.
Because the salary of Beijing officials is actually very meager. To put it bluntly, they only receive dead wages and no other income. If they are not corrupt and bend the law, they are really far inferior to local officials.
Although Bing Jing Tan Jing is a drawback, to some extent it actually prevents corruption and bribery among Beijing officials, so some people even call Bing Jing Tan Jing 'Yang Lian Jing'. '
If it is forcibly banned, I am afraid that the officials in the capital will be greatly dissatisfied...
"Your Majesty, these shortcomings should be eliminated immediately. There is no need to discuss it again!" Zhao Yu said, squeezing his neck.
"Zhao Yu, are you talking to the emperor?" Li Feng couldn't help but scolded him, "I know that you are the first thorn in the new position and are eager to show your loyalty to the emperor, but you can't just care about yourself and not care about the life and death of others! Officials in the capital are poor, and as we all know, a little salary is not enough to cover their expenses, and a few local gifts are nothing."
"In his position, he must seek his own government! It is the duty of our imperial censor to report the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not to show any loyalty or to show off! Even if there is only a low-ranking ninth-grade official in the capital, the salary will be There are nearly a hundred taels, and there are various rewards and benefits during the New Year. How can this make you miserable?" Zhao Yu said.
"Rice in Beijing is expensive." Li Shidao, "It's not easy to feed a large family with one hundred taels of silver."
"Rice is expensive in the capital, but rice is cheap in the local area. Officials in the capital work for the court, not to make a living, and they don't have to drag their families to live here. Don't they have houses and property in their hometown? One hundred taels of silver, except for Jiangnan Outside of the two counties of Jiangdong, you can live quite a wealthy life no matter where you live! At least several times better than the common people!"
What Zhao Yu said was true. Although Li Feng and Li Shi disagreed, they couldn't refute him.
I thought to myself that this guy was really ungrateful. On his first day in office, he had offended all the civil and military officials of the dynasty!
Regardless of how happy you are now, you may even die in the future without knowing how to die!
"What do you think, dear friends?" Li Wanjiang looked at everyone.
All the dear friends were silent, because as long as they spoke, they would definitely support Zhao Yu, but this would greatly offend others.
Who the hell is willing to bullshit this?
