Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth: the first court
Before Zhao Hongqing came to the Chengde Hall, the Queen Mother Zhuge Linglong, who was listening behind the curtain, and the prime ministers on the left and right, as well as King Changlin, had been waiting for a long time.
As he sat on the throne, the civil and military officials in the court began to shout, "Your Majesty, the Emperor will live forever".
The momentum is like a wave, each wave getting stronger than the last.
Now he finally understood why everyone in the world wanted to be the emperor.
When he ascended the throne, some of the remaining issues related to the previous dynasty, such as the coordination among officials, the new manpower of the foreign feudal officials, Enke, etc., had been roughly settled.
The so-called official scheduling generally means that some of the feudal officials appointed during the Taizong period are no longer suitable to remain in their original positions.
Scheduling among officials is imperative.
After all, once the emperor has the same court, this sentence is not just a simple statement.
It must be implemented concretely.
Of course, the matter of scheduling the officials of the feudal frontiers in all the states and counties in Kyushu is too involved, which will inevitably make officials all over the world panic.
Naturally, many people began to seek a way out for themselves.
"I know that many officials now either send people or return to Beijing privately, just to keep their positions. However, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, we learned that many local officials have begun to have corruption problems.
The fundamental reason is that after staying in one place for a long time, I have experienced enough comfort and will not be wary of danger in times of peace. This kind of thing must be completely eliminated in my day. Therefore, the matter of dispatching foreign officials has been determined in this way.
If anyone has a different opinion, please let us know."
It was precisely because Zhao Yuan knew some recent news that he brought this matter to today to negotiate and resolve it with the civil and military officials.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.
But Zhao Yuan was not an official, but an emperor.
He cannot burn the three fires too brightly, otherwise, he will easily be regarded as a tyrant by the people.
I have just entered Dabao for the first time, so I really can't act swiftly and resolutely. Some things are better discussed through discussion.
Before Xiao Xuanwu, the right prime minister, could say anything, Geng Huaijiang, the Minister of Rites, had already begun to express his dissatisfaction with this matter, "Your Majesty, this official dispatch involves a large number of people, which is rare in ancient times. It will definitely make people panic.
County, I fear that uneasiness may arise.
At present, the late emperor has just been buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the counties in the nine states have not yet been safe and secure. If we make changes to the officials of each state at this time, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. I hope that your majesty can discuss this matter with all the ministers.
We need to find a perfect solution, even if the scheduling problem among officials is delayed a few years, it is not a bad thing."
His meaning is very clear.
You have just become the emperor, and you need to be taught by civil and military officials how to be a good emperor.
Zhao Yuan naturally heard the implication.
Although he was angry, he remained calm and asked the ministers: "Who has any different opinions?"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the entire court were discussing the matter.
After arguing for a long time, no different voices emerged.
This was within Zhao Yuan's expectation. He looked at Xiao Xuanwu and said, "The Right Prime Minister has been through two dynasties and is deeply ingrained. It would be better to share some of his views on this matter."
The reason why Zhao Yuan made up his mind to rectify these feudal officials was firstly because of corruption, and secondly, more than 80% of the officials to be rectified were promoted by Xiao Xuanwu.
He is a core member of Xiao Party.
To bring down Xiao Xuanwu, we can only start by dismantling the internal members.
Otherwise, it will inevitably stir up the hearts of the world.
Xiao Xuanwu naturally knew this, "Your Majesty, you haven't performed the crowning ceremony yet, and there are some things that you don't know at all. Throughout the ages, although the old system of one emperor and one courtier existed, it is obviously not suitable for today.
At present, the territory of the Wei Dynasty covers the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou, and is the largest in thousands of years. Such a large land area must be managed by capable people. If these officials are dismissed now, I am afraid that problems will arise in the states and counties.
.
If a newly appointed official does not know the local customs and customs, it is easy for him to make some mistakes."
His meaning was also very clear. It was impossible to remove officials.
Since you haven't performed the crowning ceremony yet, you are not considered a true emperor and cannot cover the sky with one hand.
"What Prime Minister Xiao said is absolutely true. No matter what, I have a different view. In today's prosperous world, if we are ignorant of looking forward and backward, how can we push our human race and our Wei Dynasty to a level that has never been seen before or will never come after?
I am determined to work hard and need the full support of all my ministers and ministers. If I still choose to hesitate when it comes to removing foreign officials and do not have the courage to do big things, how can I push my Wei Dynasty to a new height?
Many of the dismissed officials violated national laws. As the saying goes, a country thrives under the rule of law. If you ignore the national laws and allow these corrupt officials to continue to act recklessly in office, you will be irresponsible to the people of the world.
Although I am new to the throne, I should be lenient to others, but anyone who can't get along with the common people means they can't get along with me. These officials must be severely punished!"
Zhao Yuan counterattacked strongly.
Although he is easy to talk to, he is definitely not a weak emperor.
After hearing his words, all the civil and military officials fell into deep thought.
He is indeed a 'good grandson' as praised by the Emperor himself. As expected, he is not a good person.
Now we can no longer call him the Supreme Emperor, he should be called the Supreme Emperor.
With such an emperor in the Wei Dynasty, it would either reach its peak or decline.
"Although officials are corrupt, it is the time when the throne is changing. If we act vigorously and resolutely, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. It is better to take it slowly." Xiao Xuanwu gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
Is there any official in the world who is not greedy?
What they are greedy for is only a very small part of it.
After all, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, officials governing Qingming were not just talk.
However, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.
It is impossible for officials to be so clear-minded that there is no black fish left.
At present, more than 30 officials have been dismissed.
This accounted for a very small part among the tens of thousands of officials in the Wei Dynasty.
It can be regarded as the official administration of Qingming.
However, it is precisely this very small part, but most of them hold important positions and hold real power.
They were Xiao Xuanwu's support when he was out of office, and they could not ruin his future here.
Just as Zhao Yuan was about to say something, the Queen Mother who was listening behind the curtain spoke, "What Prime Minister Xiao said is reasonable. The emperor and officials are corrupt and should be punished, but it shouldn't be now.
At present, the emperor's top priority should be to immediately appease the world and stabilize the world. As for these corrupt officials, in extraordinary times, we must treat them very seriously, let them be allowed some time, and give them a warning so that they cannot do it again."
What she meant was to reduce the big deal to the trivial matter, and just give him a simple verbal punishment.
Zhao Yuan was startled when he heard the sound.
How could the Queen Mother speak for them?
While he was thinking, most of the civil servants knelt down and shouted, "The Queen Mother is wise, and the Emperor is wise."
This was purely a case of chasing a duck onto the shelves, leaving Zhao Yuan at a loss as to how to deal with it.
At this rather embarrassing moment, the regent Zhao Hongji, who had been keeping his eyes closed, spoke, "Now the world is very stable, and the people all over the world are also waiting for the 'good wife' that the Supreme Emperor said
Whether Sun' can really say "good".
Therefore, at such a critical moment, His Majesty the Emperor should do things that can prove his virtuousness, and punishing corrupt officials is one of them. This will spread His Majesty's virtuous reputation, which is a good thing. Everyone
The minister should not object."
With the regent to alleviate this awkward point, Zhao Yuan began to turn his back on defense, saying, "Uncle Huang is right, I don't want to just be a verbal emperor, I want to do something for all the people in the world.
If you are the same people as these corrupt officials and want to stop me from doing less good things for the people of the world, then I have nothing to say.
