Luoyang.

It is located in the middle of the great Wei Kingdom.

It was originally one of the largest cities in the world. After the joint efforts of He Shen and Shen Wansan in repairing it, the layout of the city has far exceeded that of the old capital Chang'an, and it has even become the largest city in the world.

It's a bit more majestic than Emperor Wu's City, which is far away by the sea.

Emperor Wu City has been widely rumored to be the greatest city in the world before, because everyone who has been to Emperor Emperor City knows that the layout and walls of Emperor Wu City or in terms of architectural structure can be called the greatest city in the world. , it is much higher than the city wall of the imperial capital of Tang Dynasty.

But even a town like this is somewhat inadequate compared with today's Luoyang, the new capital of the Wei Dynasty. This is enough to show how magnificent and luxurious Luoyang City is today.

At this point, the city of Luoyang became truly the number one city in the world.

The imperial palaces of Wei were built according to the pattern of the old palace in Chang'an, but they were much larger than the old palace. For example, the previous Chengde Palace could accommodate hundreds of civil and military officials, but now the Chengde Palace in Luoyang City can accommodate hundreds of people. It's not a problem at all if people stand side by side.

Not only is the space larger, it is also more luxurious than before.

The palace roofs or golden pillars that can be seen everywhere are really all made of gold.

The dragon-patterned stone sculptures in the middle of the royal road in front of the Chengde Palace were all made of gold. According to Heshen, the imperial court had too much money to build the new capital and had no place to spend it, so it had to be built in the capital. Some places in the imperial city are the icing on the cake.

No matter what, Zhao Changqing is still very satisfied with the construction of this new capital.

He summoned all the civil and military officials in the Chengde Palace and said to them: "Have you all seen it? This is the new capital, and it will also be the place where you work hard for your family, country, and country. All of this is due to Shen Wansan. and He Shen. Shen Wansan is a man who loves money all his life. I have nothing to reward him, so I gave him a few alchemy iron coupons and death-free gold medals as heirlooms of his old Shen family, letting him pass them down from generation to generation. Go down. As for Heshen, he has worked hard and merited a lot. I plan to let him take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Do you have any objections, dear ministers?"

All the civil and military officials looked at each other in shock.

Isn’t it always you who makes the decision on things like this?

Ask us, do we dare to have objections?

As a result, all the ministers shouted together: "Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

After the ministers expressed their "opinions", He Shen stood alone and knelt down, thanking him and saying: "The humble minister He Shen thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness. From now on, he will definitely devote himself to our country and the country of Wei Dynasty until his death!"

Zhao Changqing was tired of hearing this sentence, so he simply didn't take it seriously.

Shen Wansan did not go to the palace this time because, as a businessman, he could not go to court, and Zhao Changqing did not give him any specific official reward, so he was asked to wait in the Xuanzheng Palace.

After the hall became quiet again, Zhao Changqing spoke again: "Many of you may ask me why Zeng Lin, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, did not come here today. It stands to reason that in the first court meeting after the capital was moved, all civil and military officials were all After all, some personnel arrangements need to be made clear.

Dear friends, there is no need to make random suspicions. According to Jinyiwei's investigation, we learned that Zeng Lin did not hesitate to persecute the common people in order to use his power for personal gain. During the construction of the canal fortification, he killed more than 60 young people in a village. In fact, I can understand your corruption. After all, how can officials in the world not be corrupt? But you can be greedy for money, but you must not kill your life. This is my bottom line and the bottom line of Wei.

If anyone touches this bottom line, I will make him die in an ugly way. After much thought, I decided to give the position of Minister of Industry to He Shen. Please remember my words, it is okay to be greedy for money.

You can't risk your life, otherwise, I will deal with you one by one.

Retreat from the court!"

Zhao Gao stood aside and announced his withdrawal from the court in a sharp voice.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

They all froze on the spot, a little at a loss.

It's okay to make money, but not to kill someone?

Is this what the emperor should say?

How do I hear and feel that these words are spoken by a foolish king?

But our Majesty, can he be a foolish king?

Obviously, definitely not!

Therefore, this sentence must be revealing other information.

Could it be that His Majesty said these words because he wanted to cleanse the court and shake the mountain to shake off the tiger?

Is it intended to allow officials across the country to be greedy and amass money?

But every tael of money embezzled is the people’s fat and the people’s anointing!

If officials across the country engage in corruption without restraint, will the lives of ordinary people be easy?

The lives of ordinary people will become difficult because of this!

It may even endanger the lives of ordinary people!

In this case, wouldn't it have touched the bottom line of what His Majesty just said, "Do not take life"?

Oh my god!

Your Majesty is so thoughtful!

Want to use this to test the reaction of officials across the country to see if those people have the potential to become corrupt officials, and then deal with them together?

Normally speaking, as long as an official wants to be corrupt, he will definitely be unable to resist the temptation and turn to crime!

In this way, wouldn't it allow His Majesty to get rid of all the corrupt officials in the world?

Your Majesty's imperial scheming is becoming more and more sophisticated!

It’s really heart-wrenching!

Fortunately, I found out His Majesty’s true thoughts in time. No, I had to inform my disciples and former officials immediately. I must not engage in corruption, especially during this period of time, I must not engage in corruption!

Thus, just like this, the entire Wei State experienced a period of cleanest politics.

This period of relatively clean politics was widely sung by later generations, and there was also an allusion called: "Moving the capital to clean politics".

On the way to the Xuanzheng Hall in the Imperial City of Luoyang, Zhao Changqing and He Shen walked together one behind the other.

He smiled at He Shen behind him and said: "The construction of the imperial city took a long time and required as much money as when I rebuilt Qingzhou. You must have embezzled a lot of money over the years, right?"

He Shen was frightened half to death by Zhao Changqing's words. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's heart can be seen from the sun and the moon. When it comes to building the imperial city this time, Wei Chen really doesn't dare to get involved with even half a cent of money, and every time

A sum of money was spent just right. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel have records for His Majesty to read at any time. Even the Ministry of Works has recorded all the consumables needed to build the imperial city. Various files and archives can prove that the details are

I really am not corrupt!"

As he spoke, he actually knelt down.

He Shen told the truth, he was really not corrupt.

Not only was there no corruption, it also saved Zhao Changqing a lot of money.

But he doesn’t believe it!

He didn't believe that a person like He Shen, who was so notorious in history, would give up this great opportunity without committing corruption?

He said: "It doesn't matter if you are corrupted. I promise you that I will really not blame you, and I will also reward you for being brave enough to tell me the truth!"

Zhao Changqing wanted to quickly confirm whether He Shen was corrupt.

Because he was prompted by the system and said that the system would wake up in half a year.

And this time it only woke up after the upgrade.

The system will return with a new look.

This made him feel hopeful.

Will the system upgrade bring something different?

This is the time when madness requires mediocrity!

Time waits for no one!

Nowadays, all countries are uniting to unite, and the international situation is changing every moment.

After years of struggle, Wei State only managed to capture one-third of Jin State's land. This one-third of the land has not yet been completely consolidated.

This made Zhao Changqing feel a little anxious.

When the First Emperor swept across Liuhe, it only took him nine years to dominate the world.

And I have wasted several years just because of this small amount of land in Jin.

If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the time limit set by the system to unify the world.

After the system wakes up, you must ask it yourself what the mysterious reward is.

Heshen was completely frightened when he heard the emperor's promising tone, as if he had lost his soul. He knelt on the ground and tremblingly replied: "Your Majesty, it's true! It's true!
Chapter completed!
