The wrath of the emperor, bleeding thousands of miles. Yuan Shu couldn't bear to kill, so he just ordered him to serve for the rest of his life, mining and building roads.

Corruption is indeed difficult to stifle, but it must not be tolerated. It is like a weed in a field, although it is inexhaustible, it needs to be cleaned up from time to time.

Now that the Han and the land are unified, this is just the beginning in the eyes of Yuan Shu, but in the eyes of many people, this is the end. When the troubled times are over and the world is peaceful, the next step is to consider the interests of their own officials and turn into infighting.

Yuan Shu had already thought of the appearance of this kind of thing, so he was a little resistant to this celebration ceremony.

Tell the world and calm the people, but for some short-sighted people, this is the signal of the beginning of infighting. The strength and wealth of Da Chu have become the biggest motivation and confidence for their internal fighting. Yuan Shu didn't want to see this.

However, fortunately, at this time, this kind of thinking and atmosphere has only just taken shape, and it has not reached the point of spreading and spreading, and it can be cleaned up. As soon as Yuan Shu was preparing to hold a celebration ceremony, he first carried out a major inspection and cleaning within Dachu.

Officials, generals, merchants, academies, etc., are all within the scope of inspection. Whoever has found evidence will be severely punished after examination, and the offspring will be harmed and the world will be announced. Where there is suspicion but no evidence, a separate warning is to be given, and they are to be included in the key watch list according to their severity, and ideological education is to be strengthened.

The world is unified, Yuan Shu doesn't want to make people panic, and he doesn't want to give the people of the world a feeling of unloading the mill and killing donkeys. Therefore, although the scale of this purge is huge, the number of people who have really been severely punished is not many, and only 12 out of 10 suspects are suspected.

But this does not mean that Yuan Shu will be soft on corruption. In the past, there was a great chaos in the world, there were many external and internal factors, and the officials were uneven, and there was still a certain amount of reason for their own problems. Yuan Shu knew that there were many greedy people with unclean hands and feet, but he didn't pursue it too much, just slightly punished and warned. This is also the only chance that Yuan Shu gave them, and the only reason for the chaos in the world can only be used once.

These little greedy people will definitely not be able to be promoted in a short period of time, and if they don't focus on observing for a few years, Yuan Shu will definitely not let them take the position.

"Families, poor families, commoners, states, counties, academies, schools, each as a group, everything needs to be balanced." Yuan Shu sighed lightly and said.

It's nothing if you don't check it, but after checking it carefully, you found that there are so many problems inside Da Chu, and sure enough, you can't manage it if it's big, and there are too many hidden dangers.

Although Yuan Shu has taken a very light attack, there are still a large number of officials and businessmen who have been raided this time. This is thanks to those fledgling and simple-minded scholars, those clear streams who are clear and arrogant, those hundreds of students from all walks of life all over the world, and the intelligence organizations under the command of Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

The energy of these people was concentrated together, and the horror made Yuan Shu himself unbelievable. Open investigation, unannounced visit, from top to bottom, from inside and outside. From the officials and gentry in various places, to the teahouses and small houses of the low-level people, even the prostitutes in Qinglou have become Yuan Shu's eyes, and the intelligence network is almost all-round. Nine times out of ten, all officials and businessmen who have problems have been discovered, and almost none of them have been caught if the problems are relatively large.

After this investigation, Yuan Shu discovered many problems among officials.

There are quite a few factions composed of regions, colleges, etc., especially the two major colleges of Jinling Academy and Lumen Academy, which are even more important, and they are basically a string after a string.

However, this is also normal, and it is almost human instinct to form gangs and factions in officialdom to create a community of interests to exclude dissidents.

But the problem is that the group formed by the scholars of Jinling Academy and Lumen Shuzi is too large, which is quite a bit of the Donglin Party.

There's no way, who let the top academies of Dachu just have these two, and Yuan Shu is in dire need of talents, and he has been transfusing blood into these two academies. It is normal for the quality of its students to decline, and it is normal for their abilities and morals to be uneven, and the number is extremely large, accounting for almost half of the officials in Dachu. Yuan Shu only realized what a terrible thing this was when he came back to his senses now.

For the monarch, the emphasis is on the balance of the pattern.

Yuan Shu has no shortage of patterns, but he is indeed a little negligent in balancing. Because he used to use force to oppress people, and acted too extremely. Although Da Chu is politically harmonious on the surface, hidden dangers have been buried, and if it is not handled properly, the trouble will not be small. Yuan Shu was iron-blooded when he was like Qin Shi Huang and subdued everything with his own strength, so he naturally didn't care about these, but what should the younger generations do?

We can never expect to rely on the virtue of the monarch to govern the world, but rely more on the system.

After discovering the problem, Yuan Shu decisively began the construction of academies in various states and counties in the world. Build a top college in each state to disperse the students and avoid one family from sitting too big. At the same time, in addition to Chang'an as the imperial capital, Youzhou Jixian and Yangzhou Jinling are all companion capitals, with it as the core to develop to the periphery, so as to avoid the development gap between the Jiangnan region and the north.

"Your Majesty, I heard that my Great Chu was unified, and many small surrounding countries came to congratulate me. Do they need to participate in this ceremony to show the national prestige? Tian Feng asked.

"No, you don't." Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "A group of wall grass, what do you need to care about?" What's the point of having them participating? I am not a person who is very happy, and I don't need to find a sense of honor in these weak people, anyway, they will be swallowed up by my great Chu in the future, so there is no need to waste time and do such meaningless things with them. ”

"Your Majesty, it is a grand event for all countries to come to the court, which can not only show Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, but also deter all countries, and facilitate my Great Chu's foreign trade and diplomacy, how is it a good thing." Tian Feng persuaded him.

"When he sweeps through the countries and annexes Guishan, he will naturally seal Zen in Mount Tai, and then announce it to the world, and it is not too late to recruit all countries to come to the court. I'm afraid that there will be few of these so-called nations at that time. Now that my Great Chu is at its peak, some small countries don't matter to us, I still wish they would do something, I can send troops to kill the past to show the prestige of the country, and by the way, I can grab some people. ”

"And the three empires of Kushan, Sabbath, and Rome, there is no need to show force in front of them. If I am a king, I should naturally deter, but now that I am bound to win them, it is not good to stimulate them too much in this case, so as not to arouse their vigilance. I just need to know it in my heart, there is no need to show it in front of them, and when the time comes, I will catch them off guard. Yuan Shu said obscenely.

Tian Feng's face moved slightly: "Your Majesty, you are really scheming. But is this a little too insidious, not the way of a great power? ”

Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "Is face or lining important?" Quickly taking down Guishan is the most important thing, everything else is false. After I have annexed Guishan, Body Poison and other countries, I can show as righteous and awe-inspiring as I want to be, and I can do it with the demeanor of a great country. Wouldn't it be cost-effective to reduce years or even decades of war at such a time? ”

"Okay." Tian Feng sighed lightly, and was finally persuaded by Yuan Shu. The tree is so strong, Da Chu is so strong, it's not a good thing to show it too much, let's be obscene for the time being.

"Throughout the ages, like Your Majesty, you ...... Pragmatic and low-key, I'm afraid I can't find it. Guo Jia, who finally broke free from Tian Feng's clutches for the time being, couldn't help but say with a strange face when he heard this.

"If other emperors want to hold a grand ceremony, I am afraid that they will not be as grand as they can be, and they will be known to the whole world. It's really unprecedented for you to be so low-key like Your Majesty, for fear that others will know that you are powerful. ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, his face turned dark. How could he not hear the ridicule and ridicule in Guo Jia's words, and said angrily: "I have endured humiliation and taken care of the overall situation for the sake of the subjects of Great Chu, how can those pen-loading goods who are so happy with great achievements compare with me?" Guo Fengxiao, I asked you to deal with government affairs, are you done? How dare you hide here! Yuan Hao, drag this goods back, and you will not be allowed to leave the official residence for half a month. ”
