In the backyard of Jin Guogong Mansion, as soon as Li Zhi walked into the hall, he saw Cui He clasping her hands tightly in front of her chest. She looked at the report in the "Tianjin Daily" with a very nervous expression.
Li Zhi scanned the newspaper in front of Cui He and found that what Cui He was reading was "The New Chief of the Disciplinary Inspection Team Kills Everywhere and Beats the Tianjin General Soldier with a Stick".
Cui Changwu made a name for himself and became a blockbuster. In just fifteen days after taking office, he had already solved all the cases that the previous chief had accumulated for several years and dared not handle. Not only did he catch Li Xing who had neglected his duties on the spot in Cuiyu Tower, he also dealt with a
The regiment leader who abused soldiers, five court presidents who practiced favoritism, three tax bureau chiefs who allowed businessmen to evade taxes, and the principal of Fanjiazhuang Middle School who illegally recruited a relative's son.
There are countless other little people.
Even Jing Yishan, who was in charge of water conservancy, was dealt with. Jing Yishan had a dispute with the local people in Jiaozhou, Shandong over the demolition of a reservoir, and in a rage he canceled all water conservancy project plans in Jiaozhou. As a result, the matter was
Cui Changwu caught him, demoted Jing Yishan to a second-level official position, and fined Jing Yishan a year's salary.
Cui Changwu acted so vigorously that even Li Xing dared to punish him. Other minor officials who were punished did not dare to say a word after being punished. In just fifteen days, the official circles in Tianjin and Shandong suddenly revived, and everyone talked about Cui Chang's change in attitude.
Li Zhi was very satisfied with Cui Changwu's performance.
However, Cui He was very worried about his younger brother.
Since ancient times, officials responsible for disciplinary inspection have been called cruel officials, which has always offended people. When you arrest and arrest people in office, you are certainly prestigious and everyone is afraid of you. But this kind of work where you are the collective enemy of the officials,
In fact, the risk is very high. Once you lose power or are given the slightest clue, you are likely to encounter a collective counterattack by the officials.
For example, what happened to the four cruel officials during Wu Zetian's period, such as Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing? They were not executed one by one.
As for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they all depended on what others wanted to do. These officials often defected to the party and only criticized one or two people a year, and they often attacked people from the hostile party. If they were counterattacked by the other party, they would also
They often have the full protection of their own party bosses. In the Ming Dynasty, officials were completely reduced to tools for party struggle, and no one struggled for fairness and justice.
Cui Changwu’s previous commander-in-chief also knew that he had to protect himself and had a lot of evidence of disciplinary violations, but did not deal with it. There are few people like Cui Changwu who kill all sides purely for fairness and justice, and for the sake of clean government and morality.
Cui Changwu had nothing but Li Zhi's support. Although he was Li Huan's uncle, for this identity to really work, he had to wait until Li Huan came to power, or at least until Li Huan became an adult and could influence Li Zhi's decision-making.
The current Cui Changwu is actually very fragile. Cui He is afraid that his younger brother will be like Wu Zetian's cruel official and end up with a tragic end.
Li Zhi walked up to Cui He, touched Cui He's head, and said with a smile: "Are you worried about your brother?"
Cui He lowered his head and said nothing.
Cui He was a little angry that Li Zhi asked his younger brother to do this, and started to ignore Li Zhi.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Cui He is not afraid. No matter how many people Cui Changwu offends, I will always support Cui Changwu until Cui Changwu completes his three-year term and becomes governor!"
Cui He pursed his lips and said, "Even if he becomes the governor, the people he offends will still hate him. What if someone frames him and sets a trap for him in the future?"
Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "Cui Changwu has done meritorious service when he came out to do disciplinary inspection work. Even if he makes some mistakes in the future, I will not deal with him. In this way, even if someone sets a trap for him, he will not be easily
Bring him down."
Cui He pursed his lips and lowered his head, remaining silent.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Cui He, you have to rest assured. My husband is definitely not one of those leaders who abandons his subordinates after taking advantage of them. I will work tirelessly on disciplinary inspections. Cui Changwu is just setting an example as a chief disciplinary inspector. Not only will he not be counterattacked, he will be punished."
, he will be promoted step by step because of this. Once he sets an example, the succeeding chiefs will dare to stand up and offend others!"
"If no one dares to do this, your husband, I will do it myself."
"I will always pay attention to the implementation of discipline inspection work to ensure that the officialdom under my rule is efficient and fair and benefits the people."
When Cui He heard what Li Zhi said, his face softened a little.
"If my brother Cui Changwu is killed, I will never talk to you again!"
Li Zhi pinched Cui He's cheek and said, "Don't worry, little lady!"

On November 20th, Li Zhi sat on a high platform in the main hall of the Duke of Jin's Mansion, looking at his subjects standing below.
This main hall is large in scale and highly regulated. It is a place for holding ceremonial activities and is rarely used. Today Li Zhi will appoint high-ranking officials such as the governor and the commander-in-chief here, so he used this main hall.
In front of the high platform, the civil and military officials under Li Zhi were lined up on the left and right, all wearing beam crowns and uniforms - Li Zhi listed his subordinates' names in the merit reports after each war, so Li Zhi's subordinates were all listed one by one.
They all have military attachés, ranging from the second-rank commander Qianshi to the seventh-rank general flag and small flags.
Of course, the people saluting in the main hall at this time were all officials of fourth rank or above, so they were all wearing bright red crowns and uniforms.
Li Zhi looked at his subordinates who were standing attentively and felt that they were a little nervous. After all, Li Zhi was going to announce a large number of official promotions at once, and many people could become governors, commander-in-chief, prefects and other senior officials. This time
If you miss it, it will be difficult to get promoted in the future.
Li Zhi smiled, took out a list, and read: "Li Xing, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, has been promoted to the governor of Tianjin and is in charge of the administration of Tianjin."
Li Xing straightened his clothes, went up and cupped his hands and said: "My subordinates are ordered!"
Li Zhi said seriously: "Li Xing, you have been slacking off recently and spent too much time on having fun. I think the punishment given to you by the head of the disciplinary inspection team is very appropriate! I advise you to cheer up and do a good job for the people of Tianjin.
Officers."
Li Xing was still a little afraid of Li Zhi. He lowered his head after being taught by Li Zhi, and said honestly: "What the Duke said is that his subordinates will be energetic and handle official affairs well and manage Tianjin well."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Marine Admiral Zheng Hui has been promoted to governor of Shandong!"
Everyone looked at each other, a little jealous of Zheng Hui. Unexpectedly, the most powerful position as governor of Shandong ended up in Zheng Hui's bag. The governor of Shandong managed more than 10 million people, and could rise or fall a state or county in one sentence.
The official positions Li Zhi got this time were all "service officials". The court did not provide salary, so Li Zhi needed money. The affairs of the governor of Shandong were complicated, and the salary set by Li Zhi was one level higher than that of the other four governors. Even if the governor of Shandong completely enforces the law impartially and does not occupy the official position
For one penny in the family, Li Zhi's salary was 230 taels per month, enough to support hundreds of people.
Not only would you enjoy incomparable honors when you become such a high-ranking official, but with that salary, you could have three wives and four concubines and support dozens of children.
However, due to Zheng Hui's political achievements in managing Taiwan, it can be said that he is well-deserved as the governor of Shandong, and everyone is convinced.
When Zheng Hui heard these words, his face flushed with excitement. He trotted to the center of the main hall, shook his clothes, knelt down, and shouted loudly: "I am grateful to the Duke for his kindness. I can't think of anything except being smashed to pieces."
