Chapter 153: The Dust Settles
Kaifeng Mansion said that Taishi Liu's body was found in a small forest on the side of the main road to Zhuxian Town, about seven or eight miles south of the city. The distance from his burned residence was not close www.biquge.info an old man of sixty or seventy years old, frightened and frightened, and he was probably exhausted from the long journey. It is speculated that he may have been unable to walk anymore when he got there, and hanged himself. ”
After seeing Taishi Liu's body in Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Xin kept talking on the way back to Sansi, and his tone was full of regret. This time, the three officials who colluded and did evil were all wiped out, but unfortunately Taishi Liu died, which was not a complete success.
Xu Pingyou just nodded slightly and didn't speak.
Unlike Liu Xin, Sima Chi and others, Xu Ping didn't think it was a bad thing for Taishi Liu to die. Judging from the confessions asked now, the contact with the powerful families in the capital is through Liu Taishi alone, and what others know is nothing more than the cadres of some high-ranking officials' families, who are running businesses outside, and have no direct relationship with the high-ranking officials and magnates' families.
The slave has something, of course, the master has to come out and be responsible, but this responsibility can be big or small. Now that so many families are implicated, at most, it is a verbal warning, and the officials of the capital will be strictly controlled by the slaves in the future, and there will be no actual punishment.
In Xu Ping's view, this is a relatively ideal result, if because of the handling of public officials, a large area of high-ranking officials and important ministers of the imperial court are implicated, it will be impossible to clean up. Not to mention the counterattack of high-ranking officials and magnates, which offended so many people, and there will be people everywhere in the officialdom in the future, so the gains outweigh the losses, so why bother?
Liu Xin and others want to actively ascend to the top, Xu Ping's official road is prosperous, why bother to go to this muddy water.
Back at the Sansi Yamen, the pot had already exploded inside. In the early hours of this morning, the leaders were wiped out, and no one organized a stubborn resistance, and the confession was asked smoothly. Today, the day is to take people according to confessions, and everyone in the three divisions is in danger, no one has the heart to do things anymore, and political affairs are basically suspended.
In half a day, more than 300 people were taken by the Imperial City Division, and the speed of taking people did not decrease at all. Xu Ping estimated that according to the current situation, there would be about seven or eight hundred officials involved in this matter.
At this time, there were more redundant officials in the three divisions, but the total number was only 11,200 people, which was equivalent to planting two-thirds of the manpower at one time. After this case, the three divisions no longer have to worry about redundant officials.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is that most of the public officials who commit crimes are capable, and many of the rest are old and incompetent, or have various defects, which is the most headache for the officers.
Back in his governor's hall, Xu Ping said to Liu Xin: "Now that the case is basically clear, the rest of the things will be left to the Imperial Shitai and the Imperial City Division, and we will start to clean up the mess." Solving the case is a bit of a credit, but if the government affairs of the three divisions are not running smoothly because of the lack of manpower, then the credit will not be enough to offset the credit. ”
After listening to Xu Ping's words, Liu Xin's hot mind calmed down, and when he thought that most of the yamen were empty, he felt anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked Xu Ping: "Deputy envoy, where can I find so many people to fill the vacancies in a hurry?" ”
Xu Ping said: "The official who committed the crime is absolutely useless, no matter who it is, you must guard this point." All public officials involved in the case, except for those sentenced by the imperial court, will be stopped, and they must not be sloppy! ”
"My subordinates understand!"
"As for the lack of manpower, I have already played the emperor, and transferred familiar officials from Beijing, Tokyo and the west and other states to Beijing. The public officials of the state and county are under the management of your military case, and you check your name and prepare as soon as possible. ”
In addition to managing the officials of the three divisions and yamen in the capital, the salt and iron division soldiers are also in charge of the officials of the states and counties in the world, and the matter of deploying manpower can be completed by the three divisions themselves, and they do not need the cooperation of other yamen.
Liu Xin agreed.
Xu Ping said again: "How many officials do the three divisions and yamen in the capital need, you must come up with a number as soon as possible." Remember, the remaining public servants may not be competent, and they must not be filled indiscriminately because of a lack of manpower. If we mention some people who are lazy and unable to do things, we will suffer in the end. ”
Liu Xin wrote them down one by one.
"Also, the newly opened field affairs are mainly transferred from Yongzhou Sugar Ministry. If you go down, tell us the people we need to send no less than 100 people to Beijing, and be sure to strictly order them to pick those who are familiar and capable, and not to send people who you don't want to use to Beijing. These officials gave post coupons and rode into Beijing along the post road, and their families slowly followed. Arrange accommodation for them in the capital, everything is good. ”
Not everyone can live in a post house, and if it's not official business, you have to give money. With the official post coupon, you can eat and live all the way, and you can use the horses of the post house, which is the fastest way to travel.
Liu Xin took the order to go out, and Xu Ping sat alone in the governor's hall and rubbed his forehead.
Different identities look at things from different angles. Others value solving a big case, and Xu Ping values cleaning up the black sheep in the Sansi Yamen. Without the constraints of these difficult officials, you can choose your favorite talents and start a career according to your own wishes.
If the yamen of the three divisions is still controlled by these small officials, it is really difficult to say how much of a role it can play in opening new field affairs and reorganizing the regulations of the three divisions. The so-called three gangs of a hero, once a person has no help, his great ability will also be bound by the people and things around him.
Xu Ping has done things that no one has done before, and although it is hard to start a new stove, it is better than adding bricks and tiles to a broken house. From the very beginning, Xu Ping's mind was on how to use this case to sort out the personnel of the three divisions.
Spring has arrived, it is the season of renewal of Vientiane, and the whole world is full of vitality.
The third division seemed to be an empty yamen, but it gave Xu Ping the opportunity to show his ambitions. Things in the world are always dependent on good and bad, and interests are entangled, and it only depends on how people deal with them.
Standing up, Xu Ping walked to the door of the house, looked at the new shoots emerging from the big willow tree in the yard, and breathed a sigh of relief.
New manpower must be recruited and mobilized, and the new regulations of the three divisions must be compiled as quickly as possible, even if an immature first edition is produced. New regulations, new personnel, a new three divisions.
Xu Ping had a dull and depressing life all winter, just like the gloomy and cold weather.
However, spring finally came, and before you knew it, the spring breeze blew away the cold weather and brought bright spring light.
Xu Ping strode out of the Governor's Hall and walked towards the Ordinance Editing Office not far away. At this time, he didn't care what the final outcome of the public officials' cases would be, and his mind was already on the future affairs of the three divisions.
(Today's power outage, even later, the amount will be less, readers forgive me.) (To be continued.) )
