"I have my own concerns about this." Now that he is determined to reform, Li Yin will never soften his heart. Guan Sixing is doomed not to stay in the position of governor of Yizhou, so Li Yin does not plan to pay attention to it for the time being, otherwise he, the majesty of the emperor where?
Seeing Li Yin's displeasure, Shangguanyi slowly backed out. At this moment, he finally understood what it means to be with the king like a tiger.
Shangguanyi was demoted, the Yizhou faction was replaced by Li Yin as a whole, and the Chang'an faction headed by Changsun Wuji was not happy but full of worries. Li Yin's own team can be rectified, let alone his ministers? And the subsequent anti-corruption actions throughout the Tang Dynasty once again proved their judgment. As long as the officials in the states and counties are reported by the people, Marquis Wu will immediately come to investigate, and if there is any problem, they will be detained immediately. The disadvantages were finally exposed. The quality of officials could not keep up. The influx of wealth and the erosion of capital merchants led to serious corruption among officials.
Facing the figures reported by the Overwatch Council, Li Sin was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day, and among the names of these officials, Tong Nian was among them.
"Your Highness, this is the white fungus and lotus seed porridge I made for you. You haven't eaten all day, so you can't starve yourself out if you get angry." Liu Yanyu walked in front of Li Yin holding a bowl of porridge.
Cui Yingying's relatives and Su Mo'er's subordinates all found problems. Li Yin was upset and went to Liu Yanyu's place. Only she has no relatives serving in the court, so Li Yin can be considered to be looking for a clean place.
Looking at the lotus seed soup in Liu Yanyu's hand, Li Yin shook his head, then went to the house to look at his third son Li Yun, this is his and Liu Yanyu's child, seeing the child sleeping soundly, Li Yin's hazy mood slightly better.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is coming to Changchun Garden." Li Yin was just about to leave when the **** rushed in to report to Li Yin.
Li Yin frowned, got up and left, leaving behind Liu Yanyu with a worried face, he had never seen Li Yin so angry, he only hoped that the queen could persuade the emperor.
Leaving Changchun Garden where Liu Yanyu lived, Li Yin met Cui Yingying head-on, before Cui Yingying could speak, Li Yin said: "If you want to plead for your Cui clan members, then you don't need to open your mouth. Datang has become like this now, I How good will it be if you don't hit a killing stick.
With tears in her eyes, Cui Yingying said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, are the concubines such ignorant people? They were arrested. This is because they did their own crimes, and the concubines will never speak for them. This time, the concubine asked me to Come and invite Your Highness to come over."
Handing a handkerchief to Cui Yingying, Li Min said: "You just need to understand it in your heart, and see how the Empress Dowager Changsun does it."
Cui Yingying wiped her tears and said, what Li Yin said was nothing more than telling her not to participate in government affairs, and just manage the six concubines with peace of mind.
Concubine Yang looked for him, Li Yin had no choice but to go, surrounded by maids and eunuchs, went down to the Hall of Compassion and Peace where Concubine Yang lived, when he arrived, Concubine Yang had prepared a table of wine and food, saw Li Yin coming over: " Your Majesty, we mother and son haven't eaten together for a long time, so we will have a meal together today."
"Mother and concubine, my son really can't eat it." Li Yin sat down on the chair, "My son thought that the Tang Dynasty was governed by me in an orderly manner, but I didn't expect it to end up like this!"
Concubine Yang sat down opposite Li Yin, lowered a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Li Yin, and said indifferently: "This is a big deal, those who should be killed, those who should be exiled, is there still a shortage of talents in this Tang Dynasty? Think about it." When Chang'an was besieged by the Turks, we were faced with the situation of subjugation. Your father dared to negotiate with Jieli with only a dozen personal guards to get rid of the siege, and the Empress Dowager Changsun even prepared the poison. As soon as Chang'an City was broken, she immediately took poison and committed suicide. Compared to this, arresting some corrupt officials is a small matter, a small matter."
"Hey, it's just that I really can't bear to kill so many people." Li Yin sighed.
"To be born as an emperor, the most important thing is to love women here. Gu Xiaojia will lose the world. If you don't kill them, they will poison your country in the future. Come, don't think about it, and eat." Concubine Yang took a piece of meat and gave it to him. Li Yin.
Concubine Yang's persuasion made Li Min make up his mind. He went back to the bedroom after eating, and then called Li Ran to Chang'an. I'm afraid he will have to prepare a lot of management robots.
All the way to the Daming Palace, Li Ran learned of Li Yin's decision and said: "The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was the emperor who treated corrupt officials the most severely. His attitude towards corrupt officials was zero tolerance. During his tenure as emperor, tens of thousands of officials were killed. It’s just that even so, officials are getting more and more corrupt.”
Li Yin has heard of this matter, he said: "That's different, Zhu Yuanzhang's salaries to officials are too low, and the officials can't support themselves. Naturally, they want to find ways to exploit the people, but the salaries I give these officials Is it low? Even having three wives and four concubines is enough!"
Li Ran smiled calmly, "Of course the monthly salary is high enough, but Your Highness's monthly salary is just one of the reasons why corrupt officials rampant in the Tang Dynasty."
"Then what else, let's talk about it." Li Yin kept marking with a red pen on the review list.
"Wealth, power and sex, this monthly salary is just money, this money is only the most basic, but in exchange for power, **** and wealth is the most important thing, His Royal Highness's monthly salary is very high, but gifts between officials are not enough, and it is not enough to win a smile from a beautiful woman How is it enough?"
"Hmph, so I have to give them money to give them gifts, and whoring women!" Li Yin said with a red cross on a name.
"Actually, I just want to say that no amount of money is enough to give them. This can only reduce the occurrence of corruption, but it cannot eliminate it. In modern times, why are there so few corruption incidents in developed countries, but so many in countries like Z? Because of these The country's current officials are all from the poorest time. They have low education and low knowledge. They are afraid of being poor. Naturally, they want to embezzle and accept bribes to live a good life to make up for their previous shortcomings. The second reason is that they are officials. Purpose, for stable treatment, for enjoyment, knowing that being an official can make money, the purpose is not pure, when they are in power, they will naturally accept bribes. In fact, the sum of these two is low quality, and the third is culture. The most important issue, if His Highness does not solve this problem, then this problem will never be resolved." Li Ran said in an elder voice.
"Tell me specifically." Li Yin put down his pen and became interested.
"Culture, the corruption culture that has been handed down for thousands of years in China, everyone will have a subconscious mind that officials can be corrupt, because the culture they accept is full of this information, and the endless corrupt officials in historical dynasties have set an example for them and let them know what it means to be corrupt. Corruption, what method to use to corrupt, not only did the corrupt officials reviled by thousands of people not make them afraid, but made them rush to this road like moths to a flame, because they knew that there was this road to go, and there was another The culture of courtesy and reciprocity, folk reciprocity is a legacy of history. Friends give gifts for business, relatives give gifts for business, officials give gifts for business, and corruption breeds. In a word, if you want to eradicate it, you must start with the quality of the people. "
"Well, this is a fresh talk, but it makes some sense, but eradicating corruption culture is one way, zero tolerance for corruption is also very important, and another thing is to avoid bureaucracy. From today, all big The assets of Tang officials must be reported to the government every month, and the officials manage the people, and the people supervise the officials. Both are indispensable, otherwise this matter will never be done.” Li Yin finally made a decision.
Let Li Ran be prepared, Li Min made up his mind to behead all the officials with huge amounts of corruption, then exile, then jail, and then dismissed from office. For a while, Datang set off a bloodbath, and the officials of Datang It was also the first time I saw Li Yin's ruthless side. At the same time, Li Ran kept adding new officials to the vacant positions. Management system, under this system, Li Min believes that Datang will usher in new opportunities for development.
In addition to the actions against officials, Li Yin asked the Ministry of Education to remove cases of corruption from the curriculum as much as possible, to cleanse the perception of corruption from the mind, and let the corruption culture gradually disappear from history. r1152
