Zhao Ziliang asked, "Dengzhou Liang Chongyi, do you know?" ”

Lu Qi nodded: "You know, will it be Liang Chongyi, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, soon?" I heard that he used to be a general of Laiyao, but under the banner of avenging Laiyao, he gathered people from other departments of Laiyao, and gathered in the area of Dengzhou to disobey the orders of the imperial court! ”

Zhao Ziliang knocked on the table: "The imperial court has never canonized Liang Chongyi as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, this is his self-appointed!" ”

"Yes, yes, this Liang Chongyi is really damned, he actually made himself an official, it is simply audacious, this kind of person must crusade, cut him with a thousand knives, and destroy his whole family!" Lu Qi said viciously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course the imperial court can crusade against him, and it has the ability to annihilate him!" But now that the imperial court is exterminating the traitor Li Zhongchen, it is impossible to divide the troops and start another war, so for Liang Chongyi's department, it can only be appeased at present, but at the same time, it must divide and disintegrate them! Liang Chongyi is under the banner of avenging Laiyao to gather those soldiers, it can be seen that they are not solid internally, now the court and the king have issued an edict to decide to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for a large number of civil and military generals who have been treated unfairly, Laiyao is one of them, this king wants you to take the edict of the king and the court to rehabilitate Zhaoxue to Dengzhou, on the one hand, with Guo Ziyi to stabilize Liang Chongyi and negotiate with him; On the other hand, Qu Hui and Du Shaocheng, the subordinate generals who secretly contacted Liang Chongyi, this king will leave a letter of resignation, together with the edict to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Lai Yao, brought over to them by a capable official, and persuaded them to tie up Liang Chongyi in time and lead the army to return to the imperial court. ”

Although this trip is dangerous, if you can disintegrate Liang Chongyi's ministry and solve a large feudal town for the imperial court with your own strength, this credit will undoubtedly be huge. As the so-called wealth is sought in danger, if you don't take risks, how can you have a chance to get ahead? Lu Qi's mind instantly turned countless circles, and he immediately bowed down again and said: "Don't worry, the king, the minister will definitely complete the task assigned by the king, disintegrate Liang Chongyi's interior, collect this army of soldiers and horses into the hands of the imperial court, and solve this feudal town for the imperial court!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with Lu Qi's performance, although this person is very cunning and cunning, but Lu Qi is a person with a flexible brain, quick response, strong adaptability, and many ways, but this kind of task really needs this kind of person.

Lu Qi thought for a while and asked: "King, if you want to successfully persuade Qu Hui and Du Shaocheng, if the imperial court's edict of rehabilitating Zhaoxue and the king's handwritten letter don't work, the minister will always need some other chips and capital to continue to rebel against these two, I don't know what authority the minister has and what conditions can be offered to them?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "You have the right to give them official positions below the third grade, titles below the national duke, and less than 200,000 yuan." Remember, if they can't go this way, they don't have to hang themselves on this tree, you can try to contact other generals, as long as you are willing to use your brains, you will definitely be able to think of a way, this king will never believe that they are impregnable! ”

Lu Qi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the king, the minister must complete the task!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Lu Qi: "If your rebellion is successful, you must immediately deploy to arrest Liang Chongyi, if you really can't catch it alive, you can kill it on the spot!" After that, the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou were temporarily led by Guo Ziyi, and you made him the supervisor, and the two of you led the army south to besiege Li Zhongchen's department with the imperial court soldiers and horses! If you don't understand the military, don't meddle in Guo Ziyi's command casually, manage the military discipline in the army, keep an eye on those generals and colonies, and don't let them have a chance to rebel again. ”

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, Lu Qi rushed to Dengzhou with Zhao Ziliang's handwritten letter and the imperial court's edict to rehabilitate Zhaoxue from Lai Yao.

On the first day of November, the morning meeting.

After the ceremony, Zhao Ziliang looked at the ministers and asked, "Do the ministers of the yamen have something to do?" ”

Li Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and arched his hand: "King, this scientific expedition has all ended, and all the thirty-nine people in Jinshi and the first total of thirty-nine people have been appointed to vacant official positions, and they have all gone to take office, and the relevant yamen of the Ministry of Officials have also sent people to begin to track and inspect them, and their every move will be recorded in the archives as the basis for future performance evaluation!" The other nine Jinshi candidates who did not pass the interview are also arranged! In addition, the old minister has one more thing to start."

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Kuo said: "According to the feedback of the Ministry of Officials, in front of many places in the country due to the division of feudal towns and years of war, the local officials have run away, no one is in charge of government affairs, only some small officials in the yamen barely maintain the operation of the government, this situation can not be delayed for a long time, it is necessary to send officials to take over the government affairs as soon as possible, but after so many years of war, the reserve of court officials has bottomed out, so in order to meet the needs of the court for officials, the old minister asked the king to issue an edict to continue to open an Enke in March tomorrow, to alleviate the problem of insufficient officials!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and agreed: "Quasi! This matter will be started by the Ministry of Rites from now on, and the notice will be sent to various places as soon as possible, so that students can get the news! ”

"Yes, King!" Li Kui was about to step aside after agreeing, but was stopped by Zhao Ziliang.

"Master Li, Jia Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is the first offender in this scientific examination fraud case, you, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, not only responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but also have the obligation to supervise and persuade the behavior of subordinate officials! If a subordinate makes a mistake, isn't the commander responsible? This is the responsibility of poor leadership! The ineffective leadership of you this time led to such a serious case of scientific research fraud among officials of the Ministry of Rites, which almost made the imperial court a laughing stock in the world. Now this king will punish you: first, a serious warning, a six-year probation, and a one-year fine! This punishment is all recorded in the file, and the king has made a rule here, in the future, all officials with a record of negligence in the file will not be promoted and reused, unless they can be rewarded for meritorious service and offset the mistakes on the record, otherwise they can only stand still, and if they make mistakes and do not act, they will be dismissed and go home! ”

Zhao Ziliang's domineering gradually began to be recognized and familiar by the court officials and generals, and all the officials began to have a sense of depression in their hearts, feeling that the current life was not as comfortable as before, which was like someone always holding a big stick hanging above their heads.

"You think it's easy to be an official, but in fact, the most difficult thing in the world is to be an official, if you want to be a good official, it's not okay to eat and wait for death, it's not okay to think about how to please Shangguan all day long, and it's not okay to keep exploiting the people! There are many officials in the court who don't even go to the top duty, he can't see his figure in the yamen all day long, and his subordinates and people can't find anyone to do things with him, what is the use of such an official, the court lets you be an official is for you to do things, not for you to get a salary for nothing, the government is going to start to rectify, and if you don't rectify the rule of officials, the court will only get worse! ”

"The matter of rectifying the rule of officials starts with the imperial court, and then proceeds in the local government offices! First of all, the various yamen of the imperial court should be rectified, and from now on, all the yamen of the imperial court should formulate an attendance system, send special personnel to evaluate the attendance of all officials every day, and record them in detail if they are late, leave early or not, and do not ask for leave or come to duty, and calculate them every month. For those who arrive late and leave early, if they are found for the first time, they will be deducted from the current month's salary, and if they are found for the second time, the superior officials will talk to them and warn them, and if they are found for the third time, they will be reprimanded in the whole official office, and if they do not change their ways, they will be dismissed from their posts and go home! For officials who do not ask for leave and do not come to duty, if they find that for the first time, the higher-level officials will talk to them and admonish them, and if they find that the second time, they will be reprimanded in the whole official office, and if they find that the third time, they will be dismissed from their posts and leave! In order to supervise this matter, the Regent Mansion should set up a relevant supervision yamen, and from time to time pile up the attendance of the various yamen of the imperial court for spot checks, if it is found that the attendance system is not implemented resolutely and thoroughly, the Regent Palace will send a commissioner to reprimand the chief of the yamen, and order to rectify it after going back, if the problem is not solved, then the Regent Palace can only invite your old man to go home for the elderly, since you can't even implement the decree of the Regent Palace, then what qualifications do you have to sit in this position? ”

"For those officials on duty who have nothing to do in the office all day long, except for drinking tea, they are fighting cocks and walking dogs, the Regent Palace will send a commissioner to supervise, and if you find one, please leave one! Any yamen in the imperial court, no matter how deserted the yamen, as long as the incumbent officials have a heart, why worry about not being able to find something to do? Could it be that the court invited you to drink tea, fight cocks, walk dogs, and play with birds? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang stopped, "Okay, about the first step in rectifying the rule of the court officials, this king will talk about it first, please go back and only start immediately, don't wait until the board hits you to know that you regret, this king is here to beat the side drum for you first, this is not a joke, if you don't care, when the board really reaches you, don't call it wrong!" Is there anything else to do in the yamen? ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Wu Yan stood up and reported: "Wang, Weichen was ordered to investigate the scientific research fraud case, and now the case has been fully investigated, all the relevant people involved in the case have been arrested and brought to justice, and the criminals have been escorted to the prison, and the relevant investigation files have also been transferred to Dali Temple!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Wu Shude, the secretary of Dali Temple, the trial of the scientific research fraud case will be conducted by Dali Temple, and a result will be reported as soon as possible!" ”

Wu Shude stood up and promised: "Weichen obeys!" ”
