Chapter 1218
Liu Bian looked at the ministers and couldn't help being speechless: "I never imagined that in my city of Luoyang, there are so many talents who can be qualified to be a feudal official in a state. It really opened my eyes."

Xun Yu, Liu Bowen, Di Renjie and other officials did not say a word, they glanced at the group of officials in the center of the hall with a little pity.

Terrible ignorance!
In the eyes of smart people like Xun Yu and Liu Bowen, the actions of these officials are like clowns, because of ignorance and stupidity, they do things that clowns do.

"Have you written down the names of the generals they recommended?" Liu Bian asked while looking at the writer beside him.

The pen official is responsible for recording the words and deeds of the officials in the court. Hearing Liu Bian's question, the pen official clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, I have written it all down."

"En!" Liu Bian nodded slightly, and said in deep thought: "Shang Shusheng ordered these people to be named generals, each leading [-] soldiers and horses to march to Mongolia.

This time, Li Jing and Xue Rengui led [-] soldiers to the expedition, and each got a million cattle and sheep, [-] horses, [-] women, and [-] men in their prime.Therefore, these people only need to get one-tenth of Li Xue's harvest.

Within two months, everyone must capture [-] cattle and sheep, [-] horses, [-] women, and [-] men.Those with less than these gains, together with those who recommended them, will be punished all over the family. Those who have more than these gains can replace Li Xue and become the governor of a state. "

"Promise!" Xun Yu, a senior official in Shangshu, bowed his hands and accepted the order.

As soon as Liu Bian's order came out, the complacent officials who were still recommending generals just now suddenly changed their faces in fright.

The generals they recommend have limited talents, and they just want Liu Bian to release them outside, gain some power outside, and then support each other inside and outside.

Never thought that Liu Bian would be so straightforward, directly sending them to the expedition, and also stipulated so many tasks, and they would be punished if they failed to complete the tasks. Doesn't this clearly mean their death?
What's more, Li Jing and Xue Rengui have cleaned up the grassland now. What can they get when they go to Mongolia? Maybe they can't even bring back the grass.

Thinking of the scene where his whole family was slaughtered, an official couldn't help but shuddered. He quickly knelt down and argued, "Your Majesty, please take it back! If you want to gain so much within two months, isn't it... ..."

"Isn't it something?" Liu Bian stared at the official and said with deep eyes.

The official boldly said: "Isn't it difficult for some strong people!"

"Snapped!"

When Liu Bian heard the words, he slapped the table hard, and shouted: "What is difficult for the strong? Li Jing and Xue Rengui used [-] troops, and in two months they got a million cattle and sheep, [-] horses, [-] women, and [-] strong men. Now I will give you The five thousand soldiers recommended by these people only need to get Li Jing and Xue Rengui's tenth of what they get within two months. How can this be too difficult?

The people you recommend are meant to replace Li Jing and Xue Rengui. If you want to make use of them, you must at least surpass them in terms of gains, otherwise why replace them?If you can't surpass Xue Rengui, Li Jing, etc., it is a crime of deceiving the emperor and you should be punished! "

"Your Majesty and I are just recommending it to His Majesty. His Majesty needs to personally assess his talent."

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Majesty needs to personally assess them. We just think their talents are good, and we didn't say that they must surpass Li and Xue, the two governors."

"Your Majesty, please be enlightened."

"Your Majesty, please learn from me."

Liu Bian shouted coldly: "Assessment? Going to the battlefield is an assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will be the governor. If you fail the assessment, you will be punished. Those who recommend you will die with them!"

Hearing Liu Bian's resolute words, these courtiers were completely flustered, knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"I know I was wrong, I shouldn't just talk about it!"

"I know I was wrong, and I will never frame the two governors again."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Going to the grasslands will definitely take a lot of work and consume a lot of food and grass. This will be very detrimental to the future Northern Expedition."

"That's right, if there is no harvest this time, the morale of the soldiers in Youbin Erzhou will not be lifted."

"What do you think they look like?" Liu Bian pointed to the officials kneeling under His Highness, and asked other civil and military ministers.

The ministers were silent. Although they didn't like these officials, they would not speak sarcasticly when they were in trouble.

Liu Bianhan said in a low voice, "It's like the moths growing in the main pillars of a house beam, constantly nibbling away at the house beam, and wanting to bring down the entire building one day!"

All the officials listened to Liu Bian comparing them to moths, and their faces changed greatly in fright, trembling, not knowing what to do.

Liu Bian pointed at these officials and shouted: "In the first emperor's reign, the factional disputes were so fierce that there was the disaster of the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo. Now that I have just revived the Han Dynasty, you can't wait to cultivate party members and form cliques for personal gain!"

"Your Majesty has absolutely no such intention!"

"Loyalty is a lesson for me. I recommend these generals to His Majesty. They are only dedicated to serving the country. They have absolutely no intention of cultivating party members."

Liu Bian shouted coldly: "Hmph, don't you know anything about me? One inside and one outside, mutual support, each other's outside, isn't this not forming a party for personal gain? Come on, call me all the generals and schools they recommend. Over the prison!"

"Your Majesty!" Pang Ji cupped his hands and said, "Although they are suspected of forming a party for personal gain, there is no evidence. I hope His Majesty can investigate in detail, and it is also His Majesty's understanding to rectify the country's laws."

"I hope Your Majesty will investigate!"

"I hope His Majesty will investigate."

A group of officials also begged for mercy.

Liu Bian nodded and muttered: "Jin Yiwei, immediately go to these people's residences, control everything, and search for any correspondence between them. This matter will be handled by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Procuratorate. error!"

"Promise!" Jin Yiwei Commander, Dali Temple Minister Bao Zheng, Minister of Criminal Affairs Di Renjie, Superintendent Hua Xin and others bowed their hands and accepted the order.

"These people really chill me. The monthly salary and rewards in my dynasty are more than any other dynasty. However, they are still not greedy enough.

I would like to advise you all, you only need to serve the country wholeheartedly and work diligently for the people, and there will naturally be opportunities for promotion. I will see it in my eyes and will never forget it.

If you have any bad intentions and want to rely on power to gain power, build roads and bridges, what you need is labor, and you can die for a lifetime, you can try it if you don’t believe me!If they want to die or go to jail, it will be easier for them. If the facts are true, and there are improper correspondence between them, all of them will be used as labor for me and will never be hired. "
