The great scholar Zhang Zi'an led the reclusive scholar and veterans of the previous dynasty to serve as officials in the dynasty, and swept the state capitals of the Wei Dynasty.
The Emperor of Wei personally established the Imperial Guard's personal army commander's office, and granted the title of commander to the young prince of the Qin Palace, Qin Yu, the Prince Consort of the Great Wei. He was given a python robe, the emperor's sword and the right to kill first and then report.
.
Emperor Wei used thunderous means to start the process of purging officials from the imperial court.
There is Qin Yu who is fearless and sycophantic in front of him to open the way.
Later, Zhang Zian, the greatest scholar in the Wei Dynasty, sat in charge of the court.
There are tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury, and there are mountains of imperial grain in Taicang.
Wuluo, Dongzhou and Hepingzhou all suffered heavy economic losses.
Former Shangshu's right servant She Fan Junliang and former Zhongshu Ling Bai Jiangheng confessed a large number of their accomplices.
Since the founding of the new dynasty.
This was the first time that Emperor Wei had such confidence and controlled so many resources.
The third year of prosperity, winter.
The weather in November was extremely cold, but it warmed the hearts of the people.
Jinling City.
Royal Palace.
Jinyiwei Commander Division.
Outer hall.
Jinyiwei Qianhu, Baihu, and the general banner were all waiting in the hall.
Inner hall.
Qin Yu, wearing a red python robe, was leaning on the couch, eating cakes, with a charcoal basin beside him.
Prince Xiao Nan, commanding colleagues Zhao Long and Cao Chuan were sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the files.
Commander Sun Hongyuan, Li Su and Zhou Chun were dressed in silver flying fish uniforms and stood in the hall waiting for orders.
moment.
Xiao Nan threw the three lists on the table, "Sun Hongyuan, take a team of people to get Zeng Dian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Guo Chen, the member of the Zhongshushe."
"Li Su, take a team of people to get the servant to Luan Feng, Guan Yun, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry."
"Zhou Chun, take a team of troops to fetch Ge Xing, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Jiang Lin, the young minister of Taipu Temple."
"Yes, Your Highness." Sun Hongyuan and the others bowed and then left the hall.
After the three of them left.
Zhao Long and Cao Chuan continued to sort out the files.
Xiao Nan looked around and turned to look at Qin Yu, but stopped talking.
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, if you have anything to ask, please don't worry."
Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, and then said in confusion: "Brother-in-law, this... we have been arresting them for a long time, how come they are all old-school officials? It is fun to beat up a drowned dog, but... the old and new schools go hand in hand.
, wouldn’t it be better and faster?”
Qin Yu sat upright and waved his hands, "No, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you. Let me tell you, if we are arresting old-school officials with such great fanfare now, the new-school officials will suffer even more than the old-school officials.
"
"This group of people are suffering the most right now. This commander is to make them suffer and break down their psychological defenses bit by bit."
Xiao Nan frowned and asked in confusion: "Why...why is this? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable for us to do it directly?"
"Do it?"
Qin Yu explained: "How do we do this? If we really get to the bottom of it, 80% of the officials in the court will be involved. Can we still catch them all?"
"Don't you know why the new faction and the old faction are frantically recruiting people to join the faction to keep the group warm? They are just waiting for the day when things are exposed, and His Majesty does not dare to touch them."
"Look at those people from the neutral faction. Do you think any of them have a fourth-grade official or lower?"
Xiao Nan thought about it and then said in surprise: "It's...there really aren't any, not even fourth-grade ones."
Qin Yu pondered: "Those neutral factions are all confident people, so they can stay out of the matter, but what about those officials who are new to the court or have no background? They have to be greedy even if they are greedy, and they have to be greedy even if they are not."
"This is the reason why corrupt officials are deeply entrenched and intertwined. Your Majesty wants to get rid of them as soon as possible, but he dares not to do so. This is how one hair can affect the whole body."
Hear this.
Shen Binglan on the side couldn't help but her eyes lit up.
She really couldn't understand that Qin Yu spent ten months of the year either listening to music or on the road listening to music, yet he could see so thoroughly the affairs of the imperial court.
Xiao Nan frowned deeply and asked hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, what should we do? If, as you said, 80% of the officials in the court are involved, how can we catch him?"
Qin Yu looked calm and calm, "Don't panic, who are active, who are forced, who are just greedy for money, who are involved in murder cases, who are the masterminds, and who are accomplices,
We need to make a clear distinction."
"What we arrested today are all typical ones, and they are also appetizers. We will arrest the ones who deserve to be arrested, and demote those who deserve to be demoted. As long as we get rid of these masterminds, the remaining officials will be punished lightly, and those who should be punished lightly will be punished lightly. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means will be used
.”
"My plan is that among the 80% of officials, 50% who are forced to do so can be given a lighter sentence, 10% whose conduct is not serious can be demoted and continue to be employed, and the remaining 20% who are the masterminds will be severely punished!"
"In this way, our goal will be achieved and the officialdom will be cleared. We want to give some people the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, right?"
Xiao Nan's eyes widened, as if he was enlightened, "Brother-in-law, you are the one who is far-sighted and sees things thoroughly."
After saying that, he asked again: "Then...then what's the reason why you don't arrest the new faction?"
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "Isn't it difficult to catch them one by one? Can't we just deal with Ouyang Zong directly? I have been to Ouyang Zong's hometown a few days ago. Don't mention anything else, just occupying the acres is enough for him to drink a pot.
.”
"However, the new sect is slightly better than the old sect. At least they do not collaborate with the enemy and treason. However, the situation of oppressing the people, raping the women of the people, and occupying the fields is very serious."
"As long as we take care of Ouyang Zong, there will be real peace within the court."
Xiao Nan couldn't help but stick out his thumb, "Brother-in-law, you are still smarter."
He truly admired Qin Yu.
Nowadays, there is really no hope of purging the imperial government.
...
Jinling City.
Teams of uniformed guards shuttled through the city.
The people on the street looked at the groups of heroic and heroic guards, wearing flying fish uniforms and carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists. They all stopped to watch and felt very happy.
"See? Mantis retreats, Ma Feng waist, Feiyu suit, Xiuchundao, those are the famous Jin Yiwei under the command of the young prince Qin. Each of them is an elite selected from the Yulin army, specializing in catching those dogs of the imperial court.
Official!"
"I feel that this is the most useful department established by His Majesty in the eyes of the new dynasty. How did those dog officials bully us?"
"Catch! Catch all those corrupt officials and eliminate harm for the people. The Prince Consort is really the savior of the people of Wei!"
"Mom, when my child grows up, he also wants to be a royal guard."
........
After Jinyiwei was established, its reputation soared.
Under Qin Yu's management, they were people-friendly Jin Yiwei who were strict with officials and kind to the people.
Oppressing the people is always the most incompetent sign of officials.
