In the imperial city, Xuanzheng Hall.
After the list of supplementary officials was confirmed, the case of Li Linfu's rebellion was finally settled.
Convict or something.
Of course, it was a joint conviction by the three departments of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Civil Service Department. Conspiracy was considered a first-class crime, and then there were all other corruption-related crimes.
We also need to rehabilitate some officials.
At first, some officials looked down on Li Linfu's control of the court and showed off his power, and they tried to impeach him with memorials, but they were suppressed by Li Linfu's people. As for that official, he was eventually executed because he was found guilty, and his whole family suffered.
In some cases, Li Linfu directly eliminated dissidents, impeached people, and demoted or exiled people.
Di Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the traitor Li has been eliminated. However, there were loyal ministers and righteous people who saw that traitor Li was causing trouble to the government, so they reported to your majesty. However, traitor Li had many rats, and the impeachment was suppressed by them. Later, he was bitten back and executed on unfounded charges. There should be an explanation for this matter, so that the wronged person can be vindicated, so as to show the wisdom of His Highness, and I respectfully request a verdict."
Dai Guang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out of the procession, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Minister Di said is absolutely true. Now that the Li thieves have been eliminated, the injustice should be vindicated for those loyal ministers and righteous people who have been wronged. I sincerely request that the investigation of the capital be opened. Please His Highness makes the decision!”
"Daqian Huidian" records: "For example, the affairs of Beijing inspection are presided over by the Taiwan Academy, and the official department, Dali Temple, and the Kao Gong Department are assisted by the subordinates."
That is to say, the Yushitai was presided over and the official department was supervised. The two parties of the Taiwan department were called the right and left hands by people at the time. The Kao Gong Department, the official department, and the Dali Temple were responsible for specific affairs.
The specific method is: first, language test, second, consultation.
This is the so-called "collecting public opinion in the country and gathering public thoughts in the court officials".
Consultation is a questionnaire survey. The Ministry of Personnel will issue a questionnaire with the list of officials, which is the interview book, to the censor who is on inspection. Therefore, the Beijing Inspector wrote in Chen Shuzhong that "the official consultation is allowed, and the inspection envoy is allowed to consult." beginning.
As for the test language, it is an evaluation conducted by officials such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the company. In fact, it is just a formality and can be operated in secret.
However, if the chief official of the Jingchao is upright and an upright minister, and the three departments of the Yushitai, the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple are also fulfilling their duties, some problems can still be found.
The reason why Beijing Investigation was launched at this time was naturally to take advantage of Li Linfu's fire.
They also know that the capital has lost the management of several places now, but if it continues, they will lose even more local rights.
The solemnity of Longyou Road is almost over.
Jinyiwei and Yushitai gained a lot. Longyou Road, which had been hit by drought for three years, actually collected 21.2 million coins.
There are a total of 367 corrupt officials.
The biggest are the Xuanfu envoys and prefects, then the county magistrates, county magistrates, etc., as well as some local village tyrants, county tyrants, etc.
Immediately, more than a hundred people will be escorted to the capital, where they will be questioned and executed.
These people were also local officials with great power. Under the quick control of Jin Yiwei and Yushitai, they failed to escape and were captured.
There were also some who fled upon hearing the news and were caught by border officers.
He did indeed escape. As of now, the arrest warrant has been posted throughout Beidi and Longyou Road, and the reward is relatively high.
It can be said that the tolerance level towards corrupt officials is the most severe in almost all dynasties.
As long as there is blood on your hands, there is only one way to die.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said: "The decree is to be drawn up on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Officials below the fifth rank in Beijing will be appointed by the superiors in the Yamen Hall, and will be reviewed together with the Yushitai, the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple. Those above the fourth rank will be appointed by the superiors. List……"
Someone else came out and said: "I have this memorial."
Xiao Yi looked at the speaker with surprise. He remembered that the person standing in that position was the Minister of Rites, and asked, "Qing Zhang, what do you have to say?"
Zhang Taiyue said in a deep voice: "I have heard that he is upright and does not obey orders. If he is not upright and does not obey orders, the three departments of Yushitai, Ministry of Personnel and Dali Temple will come to the court for review. He should be supervised by Jin Yiwei again to prevent People with the same government office are in love with each other, and those with different government offices become fiercely criticized."
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Zhang Qing's proposal is acceptable."
With this, the curtain of the Beijing Procuratorate has been raised, and a thick layer of gloom has been cast on the hearts of many officials.
Seeing that everything was finalized, Xiao Yi ordered the three treasure eunuchs to draw up a decree: open the capital inspection.
After everything was agreed upon, it was almost noon. Xiao Yi directly called the imperial dining room to give a banquet to the chief officials of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing, including Yue Shan, Zhang Jiuling, Di Yan, Dai Guang, and Zhang Taiyue. In the afternoon, Xiao Yi took Lu Chong to Dali. temple.
It can be said that the city of Chang'an is bound to be turbulent, and there will be attacks, criticisms, and impeachments one after another for at least half a year. I don't know how many people will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
The treacherous Prime Minister Li Linfu's rebellion was quickly put down overnight, and the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had launched an inspection of the capital on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month spread throughout the capital like a hurricane.
Dali Temple.
Inside the prison.
Li Linfu's cell door was opened.
He was put in shackles and led by jailers. After turning left and right, he entered a private room.
"Kneel down!"
Xiao Yi looked at Li Linfu, who was disheveled and depressed, and asked, "Did you ever think that this day would come to you?"
Li Linfu raised his head, his eyes were red, and he could only vaguely see a figure in his sight, but he would definitely never forget that voice in his life. He replied in a hoarse voice: "I have thought about the consequences of failure, whether you are a king or a bandit." I have already thought about how serious it is."
His face was ashen, his lips parted, and he finally swallowed some words.
Now, he was a loser. When Xiao Yi came to see him at this time, he must have deliberately humiliated him with the attitude of a winner. Therefore, if he begged for mercy, saying it would only make the other party happier.
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "That's right, success is king and defeat is defeat. It seems that many people like to say this, but failure is failure."
"You can be considered a person from a poor family. Being able to sit in the position of prime minister is enough to prove that you are very capable."
"It's just that you went to the wrong place."
"Power can corrode people's hearts. My father was so wise and powerful back then, but he is no longer familiar with the martial arts of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty."
"However, after taking power, sitting in the capital, every day is nothing more than discussing matters in the morning and reviewing memorials."
"As time went by, the early morning discussions turned into a battlefield for officials to eliminate dissidents and try their best to seize power. The memorial also became a sword for you people."
"You have the final say on all major events in the world."
"You say that this Dagang is prosperous and strong, and my father also thinks that this Dagann is indeed prosperous and strong."
"It's just a whitewash, that's all."
"A traitorous prime minister is nothing more than that."
"I want to build a different prosperous age, a prosperous age where people can truly have support in their old age, education in their young, and never close their homes at night."
“The people are rich and the country is strong.”
"From now on, Da Qian will make sure that all the land under the sun is Han territory!"
Li Linfu's face was mostly shocked, and he felt a different feeling in his heart. Especially when he heard about Xiao Yi's ambition, he felt extremely jealous.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and asked the jailer to take Li Linfu down. The reason why he came over and said this to Li Linfu was to break this man's heart.
It was just a crime of treason, which was too easy for him.
"You are still too short-sighted. You can only play with power, but in the end you have been played by power all your life."
