Chapter 419: Disposition
Lu Chengqi suddenly remembered a detail, why didn't he stand up when the evil official whipped the young man's father just now? But what he didn't see was that if it weren't for the craftsmen squatting and chiseling the bluestone slabs to hold the young man, I'm afraid that the young man would have used the hammer and iron chisel in his hand to overturn the evil official. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Just because Lu Chengqi paid attention to the evil officials who were beaten up at that time, he naturally couldn't see the overall situation. It's normal to have some doubts at the moment. This doubt flashed away, and what made Lu Chengqi even more headache was how to deal with these evil officials. Now their crime is obvious, embezzling the wages of the craftsmen, beating the craftsmen, and if they want them to die, they can just disobey the holy decree.
But in this way, there will be more people who have lost their heads in the whole Dashun. At the feet of the Son of Heaven there are such filthy officials who fill their pockets, not to mention the remote state capital of the Emperor Tiangao. If you really set an example of the monkeys, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
After all, a lot of the work of the yamen can only be completed by relying on the officials. If you start killing on a large scale, it will make the people of the world panic, should you do the work of this yamen? This is the best way to go, and it must not be done.
Just when Lu Chengqi had a headache about how to deal with these evil officials, Xu Jingchun arrived with more than 100 supervisors. Xu Jingchun has been an intelligence leader for so long, and his emotional intelligence has skyrocketed, and when he saw Lu Chengqi's appearance, he knew that he was playing the trick of a private interview with Weifu again. But this person is the emperor, Xu Jingchun despises it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it. Looking around again, a group of craftsmen in thin clothes and covered in stone chips and lime stood aside, all bowing their heads and waiting for Lu Chengqi to pronounce his fate.
And a group of officials in official uniforms, all kneeling in front of Lu Chengqi, such a strange scene, if he hadn't known in advance, Xu Jingchun wouldn't have guessed what was going on. After Xu Jingchun came non-stop, he immediately went to Lu Chengqi's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Majesty, the minister has brought someone over." ”
Lu Chengqi turned his head, first glanced at the more than 100 inspectors standing far away, then looked at Xu Jingchun, frowned, and said, "Why did you bring so many people over?" ”
Xu Jingchun was stunned and didn't know how to answer. When he saw that the imperial guard who reported the news was sweating profusely, he thought that something had happened to Lu Chengqi. As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, if the Supervision Department can't protect the emperor's safety in Chang'an City, is there still a need for the Supervision Department to exist? If the Supervision Department is gone, with Xu Jingchun's background of offending such an important minister of the court, how much better will the end be?
No matter what the psychology is, Xu Jingchun just wants to protect Lu Chengqi's safety, and it is understandable to bring more people. Besides, the Supervision Department of Chang'an City is equivalent to the combination of the City Defense Department and the Capture Speed, which can not only hold firearms, bows and crossbows, but also waist and crotch knives. But with great power comes great responsibility. The Supervision Department not only has to investigate intelligence and supervise hundreds of officials, but also has the more important responsibility of protecting the emperor's safety. There are imperial guards in the palace, there is already a city defense department in Chang'an City, and there are 100,000 forbidden troops stationed outside the city, but Lu Chengqi is not at ease, and he actually set up a supervision department. From this point of view, the essence of Lu Chengqi's fear of death is exposed.
Others don't know why, as a reborn person, Lu Chengqi naturally has his own plans. Dashun corresponds to the Northern Song Dynasty, how did the Northern Song Dynasty die? Isn't it the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens and destroyed in the form of a blitzkrieg! At that time, although the Northern Song Dynasty still had many troops, it was too far away from the capital Bianliang to rescue at all. Without warning, the Northern Song Dynasty was wiped out by such a blitzkrieg.
Taking history as a mirror, since there are still nomadic peoples such as Khitan, Jurchen, and Murwei (ancestors of the Mongols) in this time and space, the defense of the capital must be done well. Although Chang'an City is far inland, it is not as dangerous as Bianliang, but it is always right to be cautious and cautious.
This is the inappropriateness of the imperial system, once the emperor is captured, he will be directly destroyed. It's like there is no commander in chess, even if there are cars and artillery, it is useless. I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty wanted to place another set of court teams in Jinling. Even if Li Zicheng and the Manchu Tartars occupied the Central Plains, the Southern Ming Dynasty still existed for a long time, but the Ming Dynasty was already corrupted from the roots, so it was hopeless.
Lu Chengqi saw Xu Jingchun using so many manpower, and he was dissatisfied because he was afraid that things would get bigger. But after thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "Forget it, come on." Director Xu, in your opinion, what should be done with these evil officials? ”
When Lu Chengqi said this, he deliberately amplified his voice so that the evil officials who were kneeling on the ground could hear it. Sure enough, they all shook their bodies. Xu Jingchun already had a rough idea of what was going on, but in fact, he had heard about it. I just thought that when Lu Chengqi personally ordered the disposal, he would start to clean up such a guy.
Xu Jingchun was also from a poor background, and he never had a good impression of these evil officials, so he immediately said: "These people obviously know that the emperor has issued a holy decree, and they deliberately disobey it, and they should be punished with death!" ”
In the end, he was born as an intelligence chief, when Xu Jingchun said this, it was like a gust of wind blowing, which frightened those evil officials and kowtowed vigorously: "The officials spare their lives, the officials spare their lives, and the little ones don't dare anymore......"
Seeing that they kowtowed and bleed their foreheads, staining the bluestone street red, Lu Chengqi also felt compassion. "In the end, there is still no such hard-hearted heart as Xu Jingchun! When did this intelligence leader become so bloodthirsty? Lu Chengqi sighed in his heart.
"Forget it, and sin will not be unto death. If they kill someone, they will be punished with death. In this case, how about punishing them to return double the wages they had embezzled to the craftsmen, and then kicking them out of the official register and repairing the road with the craftsmen? Lu Chengqi deliberately said loudly.
After being the director of the Supervision Department for so long, Xu Jingchun also has some political acumen. Hearing Lu Chengqi say this, he just didn't want to delve into it. As for the reason, why should Xu Jingchun think about it, just follow the little emperor's wishes.
"Huang Gongzi is merciful, let them live, why don't you come over and thank you?" Xu Jingchun drank it, not angry and arrogant.
When those evil officials heard that their lives were worry-free, they were so excited that they crawled over, and said in a gossipy voice: "Thank you for the grace of the officials not to kill, thank you for the grace of the officials not to kill!" ”
Lu Chengqi said impatiently: "Okay, Director Xu, this is your supervision department's business, keep an eye on them in the future!" Even if they become craftsmen, it would be good to treat them equally, and Mo will come up with some moths, you know? ”
Unconsciously, Lu Cheng activated the tone of command, but fortunately, the people around him did not come back to their senses for a while. But he felt speechless, and hurriedly said: "Gao Hao, what are you looking at, let's go!" ”
Gao Ho listened and hurriedly followed. Lu Chengqi was in a hurry to get rid of the crowd and walked extremely fast.
At this time, there were some knowledgeable people in the crowd of onlookers, and they always came back to their senses: "There is only one person in the Supervision Department who can command the current saint, and then look at that person, isn't he just a teenager!" ”
"Yes, I actually saw the face of the Holy Heaven, this is amazing!"
……
Xu Jingchun saw that the situation around him was a little uncontrollable, and shouted: "The Supervision Department is handling the case, there is no one to do, leave quickly!" (To be continued.) )
