back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 153
Xu Jingchun didn't dare to be negligent, and said: "I'll do it now!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lu Chengqi.

"Wait!" Xu Jingchun stopped his body, turned around and stopped, looked at Lu Chengqi suspiciously, and waited for his next words.Lu Chengqi took two steps and said: "Forget it, two days is too little time, I guess the person who caused the disturbance this time is hidden too deeply, it's hard for you to find it. You can find it anytime, and the work of the Supervision Department is also very important." Heavy, Xu Qing, can you still take it?"

After half a year in the shadowy Supervision Department, Xu Jingchun didn't seem to have made much progress. Hearing this, he was immediately moved and said: "Your Majesty has reused it, and I can't repay you for it. You can only be heartbroken!"

If you listen to too many words of loyalty, you will feel nothing.On the contrary, Lu Chengqi felt more and more that Xu Jingchun, a good old man, might really not be suitable for the position of intelligence chief.But the problem is that, except for Xu Jingchun, no one can restrain these frontier troops. If the head of intelligence is changed rashly, the huge supervision department may be paralyzed.

Lu Chengqi sighed secretly in his heart, and found that recently, everything was out of his control, and he felt quite unable to move an inch.The Supervision Department is becoming more and more bloated, and after a period of time, corrupt officials seem to be on the rise again.Killing chickens to warn monkeys didn't seem to have any effect, which made Lu Chengqi feel as if he was being slapped in the face, and it was hot and painful.

Does it have to be like the Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty, hunting down corrupt officials across the country, making the relationship between the monarch and his ministers tense, as if they were about to rebel at any time?It's not that Lu Chengqi didn't want to, but he hesitated.Facing the huge group of civil servants and military officials, Lu Chengqi was really afraid that they would rise up to resist collectively. This force should not be underestimated.

The civil servants are okay, there is a saying that "a scholar who rebelled will not succeed in ten years."But it is still very dangerous for the military officer to rebel.Even if the military power is now in the hands of the Privy Council and the emperor, Lu Chengqi still feels a little uneasy.He didn't know who those soldiers would listen to.His control over the army is far from being as good as others think.Now the only way to maintain stability is to firmly control the middle and low-level officers in their own hands, so that they can influence the lowest-level soldiers through these middle- and low-level officers.The replacement of the army is a long process, and it cannot be done in a day or two.There is a saying that "government grows out of the barrel of a gun". If the barrel of a gun is not strong enough, if you want to forcefully implement the new law, it will lead to chaos.

"It seems that the strides were too big at the beginning, and it was a bit of a joke, but now it hurts!" Lu Chengqi sighed in his heart, but said: "After this matter is done, the meritorious inspector should be rewarded." If you want a reward, those who should be promoted should be promoted, Xu Qing, what else do you need, just ask me. Whatever I can give, I will give it to you!"

Xu Jingchun said excitedly: "Your Majesty has given too much power to the Supervision Department, and I'm a little panicked. I'm afraid that I won't be able to guide those little bastards."

Lu Chengqi nodded, and said: "These days, there are some black sheep among the inspectors, and I have listed them here. You can take them to prison, and follow the rules of the inspectorate. Those who should be punished will be punished, and those who should be dismissed will be dismissed." , should be killed."

Lu Chengqi threw a long-hidden notebook to Xu Jingchun, and said these words calmly, as if dozens of human lives were nothing to him.But who knows, after struggling for so long, Lu Chengqi still made up his mind?

Hearing the murderous intent in Lu Chengqi's words, Xu Jingchun was so frightened that he couldn't move his hands.He has learned some characters in recent days, and he can already understand the general name.Trembling, he opened the booklet and saw that the first person's name was his best colleague, Heizi.

Xu Jingchun couldn't believe it, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Heizi wouldn't do such a thing, he wouldn't do such a thing!"

The booklet he opened up said that on the fifth day of December in the second year of Hongxiang, when Feng Jue's family property was seized in Qingyang Mansion, he was greedy for five taels of gold... The words on the back were expelled from the Supervision Department and never used.

"Your Majesty, how could Heizi make such a mistake? How could such an honest person be greedy for ink? Even if he is greedy for ink, is the punishment too severe?" Xu Jingchun couldn't help pleading.

Lu Chengqi sighed: "People will change, not everyone is not tempted in front of Jinshan. Xu Jingchun, you have to remember that not all of your subordinates are good people. I only recently understood this truth, this This phenomenon has been around for a long time, if small mistakes are not punished, it will lead to great chaos. I do not hope that there will be such a person in the Supervisory Department. I don’t understand, the salary of the Supervisory Officer is already high enough to support a large family , why do you still have to move your hands and feet?"

Xu Jingchun had no words to answer, seeing that the pleading was hopeless, with a heavy heart, he silently left the Chuigong Hall.He felt very uncomfortable. He also knew some people, and there was indeed a way to kill them.But he brought it into the Supervision Department with one hand, how could he not be disappointed?
Looking at his dejected back, Lu Chengqi was in a complicated mood?He also knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.But the requirements are not strict, and there is no guarantee that the Supervision Department will not become the second Jinyiwei, the second East Factory, and the West Factory in the future, causing a temporary disaster.Only strict supervision can put an end to such phenomena.

"This Xu Jingchun came from the frontier army, so he can't fight. It seems that I have to find a good candidate, who is suitable?" Lu Chengqi received a secret report from the inspector in his hand, and went through all the little bosses in the inspection department. With a quick glance, I found that except for one Le Quan, the others seemed to be unqualified.

It's just that Le Quan has too much ambition for power and too much power, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't become the second Ji Gang. "Headache, let's wait and see, maybe there will be such a person in the future..."

Since the Supervision Department is still operating effectively and the fight against corruption is still effective, let it continue to exist!

After Lu Chengqi put this thought aside, he began to think carefully about who was behind the continuous impeachment.Yushitai will never be the instigator. The root cause of the disaster has not been found, and it will continue to exist in the future.

Some high officials?Impossible, Lu Chengqi has already ruled out these important ministers in his heart.It stands to reason that Yu Shitai is a mad dog, whoever catches and bites whoever, these important officials are probably not very clean.If they are implicated, wouldn't it be a firestorm?

Are those low-level officials?It is also impossible, Lu Chengqi employs a large number of new people, and it is easier for low-level officials to be promoted, and they will not object to such an approach.After all, when they become officials, many of them come for promotion.When the official is promoted, the salary will naturally increase. That is to say, there is no risk, and you can be an official for a lifetime. With an iron rice bowl in your hand, who would oppose the New Deal?

Corrupt officials?It's even more impossible. Now that the officials who dared to embezzle on the surface have all been imprisoned, who dares to commit crimes against the wind when the limelight is in full swing?If Yu Shitai took a copy of them, he would walk away if he couldn't eat it!Even if Lu Chengqi's new law fails, the Supervision Department that rectifies the officialdom will not be revoked.Corrupt officials see farther and more clearly than ordinary officials, so naturally they dare not challenge Lu Chengqi blatantly.

Who else is dissatisfied with the new law besides the official group?Warrior group?Even more impossible, the Dashun Dynasty's control over military power far surpassed that of previous dynasties.Sending troops requires not only the emperor's soldier talisman, but also the privy council's soldier talisman. Only when the two are combined can troops be dispatched.In addition, Lu Chengqi had notified the whole army long ago that the promotion mechanism would be changed so that it would be easier for soldiers at the bottom to be promoted, and military merit would be rewarded. Lu Chengqi couldn't think of why they would oppose the new law.What's more, such a secretive approach is beyond the imagination of these straight-hearted big-headed soldiers. There must be someone else behind the scenes!
It's just that he hid it too deeply, and Lu Chengqi couldn't detect it for a while.These people knew everything about the imperial court, and they also knew the weakness of Yushitai.Unknowingly, he used the characteristics of Yushitai to carry out indiscriminate attacks, disrupting Lu Chengqi's sight.Is the purpose of doing this to attack the new law, or is it an attempt to commit crimes?Lu Chengqi had never experienced such a thing, and if he didn't find out this person with ulterior motives, he would feel like a pain in his back, and he wouldn't know what to eat.Enemies hiding in the shadows are often the scariest and most insidious enemies!
