Before dawn appeared, Jia Shi had already gotten up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoExcept for the time off, at this time of day, she always wakes up early before dawn.

The girl in the house had already gotten up one step earlier than Jia's, and Yahuan brought the clothes that had been ironed last night. Another Yahuan served Jia's washing, washed and changed clothes, and Jia's took Yahuan to the west wing.

Last night, the husband spent the night at the concubine in the West Chamber.

"Lang Jun, haven't you gotten up yet?" The night maid on duty in the outer room of the west wing hurriedly came over to face the wind, and Jia asked directly.

"Lang Jun hasn't gotten up yet."

Jia snorted dissatisfiedly, the more the fox girl really came, the more disagreeable it became, and what kind of Fascination Lang Jun became. Yesterday was Xiu Mu, Hu Tianhu was still over. I have to go to work today, all the officials are rushing to work and the court, and the officials have to rush to do things early, but Lang Jun is fine today and hasn't gotten up yet.

"Go open the door, tell Lang Jun to get up, and say that he is going to be late for work."

Going to work originally referred to the official court, because the court had to stand on duty, so it was also called going to work. Later, the officials also said that they went to work.

Yahuan whispered yes, go in.

After a while, Yahuan walked out and said in a low voice, "Lady, Lang Jun said that he would not go to work today." ”

"Don't go to work? Didn't Lang Jun say a few days ago that Shangshu Province is now Li Yuan's family, and he is very strict? The husband doesn't go to work in a good way, isn't this looking for trouble? Shangshu Province has been engaging in old nuclear recently, why is Lang Jun crazy at this time? ”

Jia simply crossed the Yahuan and went directly into the house.

In the house, Zhang Dacheng was noisy by Yahuan, and he had already woken up, and he was talking with his concubine in his arms at this time.

Seeing Jia Shi come in, he just yawned, but the concubine over there had already got up in a hurry, and when she got up, she remembered that she only had dirty clothes on her, and hurriedly went around to find clothes.

Jia's face was blue and black.

She is old, her husband loves beauty, and she spent a lot of money to buy a young and beautiful concubine back, and she has no objection. But now her husband is only obsessed with beauty but doesn't even care about business.

"Husband, it's almost dawn this day, you have to go to work today, you can't get up yet?"

Zhang Da is more than half a hundred years old, with gray hair and white beard, thin as firewood, and there are few taels of flesh on his body, and the concubines are younger than his daughters, and they are all quite old with his granddaughters. He yawned and waved his hand, "No, don't go to work today." ”

"Lang Jun, what are you crazy about today?"

Zhang Dacheng's wife Jia is from a better background than Zhang Dacheng, usually Zhang Dacheng is more in awe of his wife at home, and when he heard his wife get angry, he had to accompany him with a smile.

"Not only did I not go to work today, but more than 1,000 officials in Shangshu Province did not go to work today."

Jia Shi was shocked, "Why? ”

Zhang Dacheng smiled, "Why?" Give that Li Chao a dismissal, and let him take back that set of assessment and restructuring things. ”

"Don't die." Jia Shi said worriedly, although her husband is just a small official who is not in the stream, but because he is an official in Shangshu Province, he is still an old official, so the life of the Zhang family is actually good, there are groups of slaves, and the house is also very large, they moved from Chang'an to Xiangyang, and immediately put a big mansion in the city. Not to mention, there are many shops and granges of the Zhang family, if you only talk about living a rich life, the general county order is not as good as their family.

Jia was worried that her husband would die and lose the errand.

"Then Lee Sang-kook is a person to mess with? Don't mess around. ”

"Don't think too much about Li Chao, if Li Chao says that his ability to govern the country is really powerful, he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, but this time, he did something wrong, and he had to make a big mistake."

He proudly said the plan of the officials in tandem, the first day of work after today's rest, the result is that none of the thousands of officials in the fashion book province will go to work, and the entire Shangshu province will be paralyzed, and then it will be seen how Li Chao ends.

"Why do you want to make such a fuss, if you are really dissatisfied with the new rules, you can change the way, such as passive slacking is better than this."

"You're a woman, you know what. This matter has to be hard like this, if it is just passive sabotage, there will definitely be people who hesitate to wait and see, it should be like this now, up and down, all of them don't go to work, and directly have a showdown with Li Chao to show their attitude. ”

"But what if Li Xiang gets angry?"

"What about anger, the law does not blame the people. Li Chao still has the ability, he really dares to beat the thousands of officials in Shangshu Province, and if he messes with us, he can't play Shangshu Province, and then the entire court will stop. Li Chao can't afford this mess. ”

Besides, Zhang Dacheng and the others have other plans, and they have made their attitudes clear, which is also to let the officials in the province exert their strength. The officials are also dissatisfied with the new system, and now they are leading the battle, and then the officials will take the opportunity to make trouble, if the officials of the Yushitai also come to join in the fun, then this matter will be really lively, and Li Chao will definitely not be able to get off the stage at that time.

Li Chao was lucky, and then he took back the new system he announced. If it gets big and can't be controlled, maybe Li Chao's Shangshu order will come to an end.

Jia Shi said worriedly, "I always feel that this thing is very bad. ”

"Don't worry, you're in control."

Before dawn, Li Chao got up.

After washing, it was not dawn, Li Chao also practiced the gun as usual, slipped away for a while, and then took a shower and changed into court clothes to go to work.

On Yuliangzhou, in front of the palace gate, hundreds of officials lined up to wait for the palace gate to open.

The waiting officials were in front of the palace, talking in twos and threes.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came over, with some worry on their faces.

"Wen Yuan, I heard that something is going to happen today."

"The officials of Shangshu Province are said to be going on a collective strike today?"

Li Chao smiled.

"Don't worry about the two ministers, everything is under my control."

The palace gate was opened, and hundreds of officials entered the palace, and entered the palace to participate in the court.

In fact, there is not much to talk about, it is just a passing scene, more of a ceremonial nature. Everyone got up early, rushed to the palace, lined up to go to the court, and then after passing through the court, the court meeting ended.

Today, the emperor has something to do, so he sent his servants over to spread the word.

So today's court meeting, the emperor did not arrive, the prime ministers led the hundred officials to worship the emperor's empty dragon chair, and then the prime minister presided, as soon as the court ended in the morning, the hundred officials returned to the office.

Li Chao took Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, eldest grandson Wuji, Yang Gongren, and Ma Zhou, who were also in Shangshu Province, back to the Yamen of Shangshu Province, the imperial city.

When I arrived at the Yamen, I found that the atmosphere in the Yamen was very different today.

The officials in the yamen were all there, but everyone's faces were different, some were panicked, some were uneasy, and some were still smiling a little, as if they were waiting to see the joke.

Li Chao arrived at the hall.

First, call the principal officials over for a morning meeting.

Morning meetings are also a personal habit of Li Chao, morning meetings don't have to be long, but they can't be less. At Li Chao's request, all ministries and departments should also hold morning meetings, and an important part of the morning meeting is to name names.

No official was absent from work for late arrival.

However, Shangshu and Langzhong reported that the officials did not come today, and all sent people to ask for leave, saying that they were unwell.

Thousands of officials in the entire Shangshu Province asked for leave together, saying that they were unwell?

This liar.

Everyone knew what was going on, and they all looked at Li Chao, wondering what he would do with this matter, anyway, there were no such officials in the province, and they had already been paralyzed, and they couldn't operate at all.

Li Chao's gaze swept over the faces of these Shangshu, Shilang, and Langzhong, and he only sneered twice.

With a wave of his hand, the two staff members brought over the two large cowhide bags, and Li Chao put the two cowhide bags on the table.

"This is evidence of corruption and illegality by some officials in the province, and the evidence is ironclad. Now, I will send this evidence to Dali Temple and Yushitai and ask them to investigate. ”

Li Chao counterattacked the first move.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, and take down the officials who are in trouble and provoke trouble. These are the leaders of the strike, and they must be set an example.

But if the teacher is famous, there must always be a reason to take people.

Fortunately, there are few innocent officials in this world, and even fewer officials are innocent. Li Chao has already started this matter, and during this time, he has already held a lot of ironclad evidence.

Now Li Chao has taken down these officials after fighting corruption, which is justified.

Li Chao's second move.

The announcement of a salary increase for the officials has basically increased a lot from the original salary.

Then he made a third move.

A group of officials were temporarily transferred from other yamen, and many prisoners were borrowed from the Guozi Prison to help, and in addition, their staff and doormen were seconded to the hundred officials to temporarily act as officials to maintain the operation of official affairs in the province.

After all this was done, Li Chao gave the last order.

"Notify all 'sick' officials in the province to return to their posts within half an hour to report to work, and those who do not arrive within half an hour will be dismissed from their posts and will never be hired in the future. The provincial capital of Shangshu will first use the staff of the officials, the officials of other yamen, and the supervisors of the Guozijian to temporarily replace them, and then recruit the officials in the province as soon as possible.

Of course, it's not as simple as expulsion.

After the dismissal, Li Chao would also send someone to audit their previous work, check every account, in short, publicly tell these officials that he, Li Chao, would settle accounts after the autumn.

That's the real ruthlessness.

The officials thought that Li Chao would give in, thinking that the law did not hold the public accountable.

But Li Chao didn't give in, he chose to be tough, if he couldn't even suppress a few officials, then he couldn't hold down the officials in the province in the future, and it was even more impossible for the nine temples and guards of the three provinces of the imperial court to be in charge, and he didn't have to be the prime minister.

Even tens of thousands of troops can manage their uniforms and sticks, and Li Chao can't manage the thousands of knives and pens in Shangshu Province?

If you really want to get it, Li Chao can send each of these thousands of officials to prison, and everyone's butt can't be clean, but Li Chao didn't do it, he just got dozens of old officials' incriminating evidence, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, these dozen chickens are enough.

He didn't plan to arrest them all, Shangshu Province still needs this group of officials for the time being. After all, it is impossible to transfer people from everywhere and take them over immediately.

As long as these officials are willing to cooperate honestly, Li Chao will give them a chance, and the past will not necessarily be investigated, but who dares to be dishonest in the future, Li Chao still retains the right to investigate in the future.

Half an hour, Li Chao's ultimatum.

The officials of Shangshu Province are speculating whether those officials will come back in half an hour?

If these people don't come back, then what should Li Chao do and really arrest all the officials?

Ma Zhou smiled and said to the officials under the household next to him, "Believe Li Xiang, in less than half an hour, those people will all come back." ”

It is to capture the old officials and ask them for their crimes, to show their authority, and to give all the officials a raise, and then to show their kindness, so that the grace and power are combined, how many officials dare to resist?
