"Yang Xian was roaming the countryside in Yangzhou, preying on the people, and wantonly exaggerating his political achievements. Now his flaws have been exposed, and he was taken to Yangzhou, where he was cut into pieces with a thousand swords, and even affected nine ethnic groups."
"But back then, the nobles of Huaixi invaded and occupied the people's property. The old story was brought up again, and the gold medal for immunity from death was withdrawn. There was an explanation for the people of that year, and even the whole world."
"Because of these two things, His Majesty issued a criminal edict and re-enacted the law. Any official of the Ming Dynasty who embezzles sixty taels of silver will be executed."
"On the basis of these three things, the court can investigate the officials who impeached Yang Xian one by one without sparing any of them."
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao, stretched out three fingers, and continued: "So, with the support of these three things, the court can take drastic measures. And the more corrupt officials are killed, the happier the people will be and the happier they will be." I feel that our Majesty is a good emperor."
First, Yang Xian was taken to Yangzhou and cut into pieces with a thousand swords. The people of Yangzhou absolutely applauded, and the execution of the Nine Tribes was even more satisfying.
After all, the people of Yangzhou's hatred for Yang Xian was as endless as a torrential river.
In addition, there is also the recovery of the death-free gold medal of the Huaixi nobles, and the self-incriminating edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and regaining the people's hearts is just around the corner.
At this time, the calmer the court is, the more disadvantageous it will be. On the contrary, the court must make some noise.
What's more, we should deal with corrupt officials vigorously, not sparing any of them, and labeling their crimes so that the people all over the world know, what is this?
In this way, it is self-evident that the imperial court is willing to reform. By then, the imperial court will come to rescue Yangzhou again, which will win over the people of the world, and everything will fall into place.
"Um."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Now is indeed the best time."
"Nonsense, whether it is Yang Xian or the gold medal for immunity from death, in the final analysis, it is still the responsibility of the court, but it is the people who have suffered unreasonable disasters, so this can only quell public anger."
"However, how many edicts of sin have you seen since ancient times?"
"Then why did Your Majesty issue the edict to sin against oneself? Isn't it because you love the people like a son and feel ashamed of the people? That's why you issued the edict to sin against oneself?"
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows again and said with a smile: "The imperial court only needs to make a fuss about this to get the two best results. One is the return of the people of the world, and the other is the shock to all civil and military officials. .”
To put it bluntly, everything else is nonsense. Only the Sinji Edict is the most true and useful. After all, the emperor is not wrong. This is the most widely circulated among the people. Therefore, the credibility of the Sinji Edict is beyond doubt.
"Then who do you think should handle this matter?"
Zhu Biao nodded and asked again.
"It's best for you to do it."
Xiao Han stretched out his finger, pointed at Zhu Biao, and said with a meaningful smile: "From ancient times to the present, a son has never said anything about his father's faults, but your majesty has admitted his mistake, so what should the prince do?"
"My father has shamed the world for admitting his mistake."
"But why was my father wrong?"
"It's because of these corrupt officials."
Zhu Biao immediately understood what Xiao Han meant, and immediately said: "I will investigate alone!"
The murderous intent in his eyes was endless, and the meaning in it was naturally self-evident.
This is why a son should stand up for his father, and it is only natural that he should stand up for his father. But from the perspective of filial piety, Zhu Biao is in trouble!
"Um."
"As for the vacancies of officials, you can just find Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen and ask them to recommend some officials."
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao with satisfaction, nodded, and said again.
“Isn’t this just a recommendation system?”
Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly flashed with doubt.
“It’s originally a recommendation system.”
Xiao Han did not deny it, but still nodded.
"Brother, are you really just trying to fill a vacancy?"
Zhu Biao patted his forehead lightly and said helplessly.
Xiao Han doesn't mean he didn't say anything?
Regarding the recommendation system, the current Ming Dynasty officials, except for the old ministers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, are basically recommended talents. Aren't they still greedy?
So what's the point of changing the situation and still being a corrupt official?
"The impact of Yang Xian's incident isn't big enough?"
"Whoever dares to look for trouble at this juncture is asking for death?"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Zhu Biao, then took another mouthful of pickles and said, "Li Shanchang, a distinguished member of Huaixi Province, and Liu Bowen, a member of the East Zhejiang Party, can they not understand it, or can you not understand it?"
After Xiao Han finished speaking, a light burst out in Zhu Biao's eyes, and then he nodded heavily.
Zhu Biao understood what Xiao Han meant. Instead of recommending talents to the court, it would be better to leave this matter to Li Shanchang, the leader of Huaixi Honorable Men, and Liu Bowen, the leader of the East Zhejiang Party, and be the hands-on shopkeepers himself.
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen will help Zhu Biao handle everything and fill all the official vacancies.
Moreover, with Yang Xian as an example, no one should dare to commit corruption in a short period of time, which would be a good thing for both the court and the people.
"Let's do this for now. When the imperial examination system is perfected and the court has new blood, there will be no vacancies for officials."
Seeing that Zhu Biao did not speak, Xiao Han started to think, then waved his hand and continued: "However, the court's supervision of officials is indeed a bit short. Have you ever thought about improving it?"
"Ah? How to perfect it?"
Zhu Biao came to his senses and asked with a frown.
What Xiao Han said was true. The imperial court's supervision of officials was indeed not strong enough. Otherwise, the bad things Yang Xian did in Yangzhou would have been exposed long ago, so there would be no need to wait until today.
"We can set up a supervisory department to supervise the world and all officials."
"But this supervision department can only be subordinate to His Majesty, or you, otherwise it will easily cause trouble."
Xiao Han thought for a moment and then continued: "The biggest advantage of this is that your Majesty, sitting deep in the palace, can see all directions and listen to all directions. From now on, no treacherous person can deceive your Majesty anymore. .”
"good idea!"
"Then can you draft a memorial as soon as possible?"
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed Xiao Han's hand and asked.
"Uh...you probably have to give me some time."
"It was just a passing thought."
Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Biao, shook his head and said.
If all this is blurted out, doesn't it mean that Xiao Han has thought about it before?
Don't forget, just after Yang Xian's accident, Xiao Han took out the Jin Yiwei. Wasn't he causing trouble for himself?
Based on Lao Zhu's urine, one must doubt whether Xiao Han is Sima Yi!
"All right."
"Then as soon as possible."
A flash of disappointment flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, but it was only fleeting. After all, Xiao Han's ability is here, if he can figure it out, he can definitely perfect it.
