Qin Xiao's knowledge was refreshed again.
Is there such a brothel in the world?
Can the woman inside still go out freely and let the guests take her away?
On the contrary, consumption in a brothel is lower?
Moreover, this kind of behavior can attract many customers. Think about it, there must be something extraordinary about it.
Wait.
Qin Xiao quickly organized his thoughts.
Fengzhou has always been a well-known poor area in the country. From the common people to the officials, life has always been difficult.
Xu Mo has only been in office for a few months.
Why are they all so rich?
Every time Xu Mo used his strength, there were always blind spots that Qin Xiao could not imagine.
Qin Xiao thought about it, but still couldn't figure out how Xu Mo did it.
Then he simply didn't want to think about it. Qin Xiao sighed and asked: "How can it be possible to spend so much money in just one month?"
"The salaries of officials in Fengzhou are not high."
Yang Jingdu replied: "Your Majesty, this is because of Xu Mo."
Qin Xiao was stunned: "Whether an official has money or not, what does it have to do with you Xu Mo?"
He was already used to Xu Mo's cunning routine.
So after hearing that the officials in Fengzhou spending a lot of money and staying in brothels had something to do with Xu Mo, Qin Xiao was no longer angry, but had a look of curiosity on his face.
Yang Jingdu explained: "It's like this. As soon as Xu Mo arrived in Fengzhou and took office, he visited local officials."
"For officials whose families were in dire straits, he even provided cash subsidies to support them."
Qin Xiao laughed instead of being angry.
In other words, when a new official takes office, he should first understand the public sentiment and greet the common people.
This Xu Mo only focused on winning over officials and didn't care about the people who were in dire straits.
Qin Xiao's face turned cold.
"I have never heard that Fengzhou officials have done anything great for the people. What difficulties can they face?"
"Compared with Chong County, the people of Fengzhou simply cannot survive!"
Xu Mo ignored the people of Fengzhou and was only interested in winning over officials.
Qin Xiao's natural reaction was that Xu Mo didn't take the people seriously, and he must be colluding with everyone to defraud someone.
But when I thought about it, I felt it was wrong.
Xu Mo is a corrupt official to the core, to the point where he just wants to put other people's money into his own pocket.
How could he be so kind and give money to others?
There must be fraud!
"Go on! What else did Xu Mo do to those officials? What did he say?"
"It's impossible for him to give away the money and it's over, right?"
Yang Jingdu nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, Xu Mo talked about some things when he went to the official's house to deliver money."
"Xu Mo has just arrived in Fengzhou and doesn't know the situation there."
Qin Xiao cheered up and leaned forward.
That's the point.
Xu Mo must have bad intentions when giving money to officials.
"What did you hear? What did Xu Mo say?"
Yang Jingdu hesitated to answer.
Under Qin Xiao's stern urging, Yang Jingdu cried: "Your Majesty! Wei Chen only knows a little bit about what was specifically discussed. Only Xu Mo and the person involved were present at the time, Wei Chen really doesn't know."
Qin Xiao's face became very ugly.
You've heard the most important part. Are you coming with me? !
"Waste! It's all waste! What do I need from you?"
Seeing Qin Xiao stir up real fire.
Yang Jingdu was so frightened that he almost peed. He slid his knees forward and said with tears in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Seeing Yang Jingdu begging desperately for mercy again, Qin Xiao became even more angry.
He lifted up his dragon robe, took a few steps down, and kicked Yang Jingdu hard.
"Get lost."
Yang Jingdu breathed a sigh of relief and ran away with his head in his arms.
Qin Xiao was left so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Imperial City Secretary, after reprimanding for so long, the progress is still not enough.
"We can't wait any longer. Reorganize the Imperial City Department!"
The next day, morning.
Qin Xiao solemnly announced:
"Recalling the Fengzhou case, I have learned from the pain. If the court could receive accurate information in a timely manner, then I would not have wronged so many officials."
"Therefore, I am determined to..."
Hearing this, there was silence in the palace, and the ministers pricked up their ears, wondering what the emperor was going to do.
Qin Xiao said: "I want to upgrade the Imperial City Division's standards."
"From today on, the Imperial City Department will directly take orders from me, and its official rank will be the same as that of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple."
Hearing Qin Xiao's words.
All civil and military officials were collectively stunned in surprise.
In the past, the authority of the Imperial City Division was mostly limited to the capital city, especially the imperial city.
The scope of jurisdiction and authority are completely incomparable to those of functional agencies such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.
And now.
Go beyond the upper and lower levels of the imperial court and take orders directly from the emperor!
Such a reorganization.
The Imperial City Secretary is just a sharp knife in Qin Xiao's hand, and others can no longer comment on him.
Among the officials, the most surprised was Prime Minister Chen Yong.
This decision was enough to change the structure of the imperial court, but Qin Xiao did not agree with him, the prime minister.
Moreover, the commander of the Imperial City Department is now basically on the same level as him, and he does not need to salute him when meeting him?
Although, the current power of the Imperial City Division is to gather information and protect the royal family.
But Chen Yong still felt uncomfortable.
The ministers all have ideas in their minds.
But Qin Xiao's decision did not allow them to oppose it, and no one dared to oppose it openly.
soon.
The edict to reorganize the Imperial City Department was subsequently issued.
Yang Jingdu was dismissed from his post and was appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division. Yang Da was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division.
After retreating from the court.
Qin Xiao immediately summoned Yang Da.
The officials in the court originally thought that apart from the expansion of the authority of the Imperial City Division, there would be no other changes.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao had already made plans. A few months ago, he asked Yang Da to make preparations and asked him to secretly select and appoint a group of new people.
The people appointed by the Imperial City Division in the future will be several times stricter than before.
Qin Xiao looked at Yang Da and said, "The Imperial City Secretary will be my eyes and ears. You must not be careless."
Yang Da was shocked.
Qin Xiao was beating him. The Imperial City Division must never be as incompetent as before.
If he fails to meet Qin Xiao's expectations, he will also be held accountable.
"I will serve your Majesty with all my loyalty."
Qin Xiao nodded: "Then listen carefully, I want you to do something."
"You quickly send someone to Fengzhou to monitor Xu Mo closely."
"We must investigate and find out the exact evidence of Xu Mo's corruption and violation of the law."
Qin Xiao emphasized coldly: "I don't want to see a confusing investigation report again."
"I accept your order!"
"If a minor minister cannot satisfy His Majesty and is dealt with arbitrarily by His Majesty, he will have nothing to say!"
Qin Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead and do it!"
The Imperial City Secretary had just upgraded the specifications and couldn't wait to test the knife with Xu Mo first.
