"My dear friends, these twenty-two officials are officials who colluded with the traitor Ximen Wentian. The evidence of their crimes is conclusive and they deserve to die!"
Ximen Hao's words were full of evil spirits.
The reason why he came up to judge these officials was to shock the officials so that the following orders could be carried out smoothly.
"My Holy Emperor!"
All officials responded in unison, saying the word 'anti-thief' was very sensitive now, so they immediately drew a clear line with these officials.
"Sage?"
The corners of Ximen Hao's lips were slightly raised, he looked at the twenty-two prisoners below and said:
"My dear friends, what do you think should be done with these twenty-two prisoners who have colluded with the rebels?"
"Your Majesty! These people are receiving salary from the imperial court! However, they colluded with the rebels and should be punished for their crimes!"
Di Hu came out of the queue. This tiger's injury recovered after two nights of rest.
"Your Majesty! Marshal Di's words are right! Those who collude with rebels should be punished!"
Another official came out.
"Ahem, cough, cough! Your Majesty, according to the law, anyone who rebels will be punished by the nine tribes below the earl, and the three tribes by the earl and above!"
Ji Wubing, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came out of the queue, and his words instantly silenced the officials.
Twenty-two people, 15 of whom have titles below earl, how many people are there to punish the nine tribes!
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! It's the guilty minister who is confused! Let my people go!"
"Your Majesty! Please let our people go!"
Twenty-two people kowtowed one after another, and blood marks appeared on the ground of Qingyang Hall where they kowtowed.
Ximen Hao looked down expressionlessly, until the prisoners stopped kowtowing, and then slowly said:
"A rebellion resulted in countless casualties and casualties, and even the common people suffered. It's abominable! And it's even more abominable that you, as officials of our Qing Kingdom, colluded with the rebels! Come on! Behead them in front of the Qingyang Palace!"
"yes!"
Liu Sheng led the Jin Yiwei and escorted twenty-two people outside Qingyang Hall.
Then he raised the knife and dropped it, and twenty-two heads rolled down on the Qingyang Hall. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood floated in.
Some officials had never seen such a scene and couldn't help but cover their mouths and wanted to vomit.
"Your Majesty! All twenty-two rebels have been killed!"
Liu Sheng walked in with murderous intent.
"Okay! Liu Sheng listens!"
Ximen Hao stood up directly.
"brush!"
Liu Sheng knelt in Qingyang Hall.
"Qiang!"
Ximen Hao pulled out the Emperor's Sword, and the golden light shone with a chill.
He slowly glanced at the civil and military officials, and then said:
"I order you to lead the imperial guards and a thousand forbidden troops to capture all the rebel clan members! Nine clans below the earl! Three clans above the earl! The direct descendants of the culprits...kill! The collateral descendants...the men will be sent to the army and the women will be sent to the church.
Boji!"
"My lord, I will obey the Holy Order!"
Liu Sheng received the order, then stood up and walked out.
The Qingyang Palace was eerily quiet, and all the officials were trembling with fear. They seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Qiang!"
Ximen Hao inserted the Emperor's Sword under his feet and sat back slowly.
The smell of blood floating in Qingyang Palace, coupled with the shining Emperor's Sword, made everyone feel chilly in their hearts.
"My dear friends, after the first thing is done, I will issue the second order. I know that some people are waiting for my reward, but only when the second thing is done can I reward you based on your merits.
Get promoted to a higher position! Zhuge Qing!"
"I'm here!"
Zhuge Qing is also dressed in cloth.
All the officials looked at Zhuge Qing at the same time. First there was Ji Wubing, and now there was Zhuge Qing. They were all His Majesty's newcomers.
"My dear friends, I have drafted a new system. Now Zhuge Qing will announce it, and then I will award the rewards. After listening, if anyone has any opinions, you can raise them."
As Ximen Hao spoke, he scratched the blade of the Emperor's Sword with his hand, his threat clearly evident.
Which of the civil and military officials dares to speak? They dare not speak out. At the same time, they are curious about what kind of system this new emperor will formulate.
"Zhuge Qing, announce it."
After Ximen Hao finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.
"My lord, I obey."
Zhuge Qing bowed, then took out a thick memorial from his sleeve, then opened it bit by bit and read out:
"First, cancel the system of hundreds of officials attending court! Change the Qingyang Palace to the Senate, and the Senate will hold a meeting every seven days! The ministers in charge of each department will just come and hold a meeting every seven days."
"Second, in addition to the original departments, the Senate has added: Audit Department, Ministry of Education, Military Staff Department, etc... We will inquire about detailed information later."
"Third, the working days of each department will be changed to a seven-day system, with five working days in every seven days. All work will be carried out in the palace! News from all over the country will be gathered from various departments in the palace, and then each department will report to His Majesty."
"Four, this system involves eight counties and sixty-four cities. Each county has one county governor and two deputy county governors. The three of them supervise each other! The following officials are managed by each department. Each city also has one city lord and two deputy city lords.
, the system is the same as above!”
"Fifth, hold a scientific examination system to select young talents from all over the country to join various ministries. Abolish the hereditary official succession system and the aristocratic family promotion system. If you want to serve the Qing Kingdom, the scientific examination results shall prevail! This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education
Grasp!"
"six……"
The more Zhuge Qing spoke, the louder his voice became. The sound not only spread throughout the Qingyang Palace, but even far outside the palace.
The civil and military officials below all looked confused when they heard this, but their hearts were filled with huge waves!
None of them are fools. Although they still don't understand the main purpose of the emperor's reforms, they all know that the days to come will be difficult!
Zhuge Qing was still announcing loudly. There were more than twenty memorials in total. The memorial was already coiled on the ground and he read it for seven or eight meters!
"Twenty-eight, the above systems have been carefully considered by His Majesty. After they are implemented, the Qing Kingdom will be extremely powerful! If you have any opinions, you can put them forward."
After saying that, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He bent down and put away the memorial, then bowed to Ximen Hao and stepped back.
Quiet, deathly quiet, except for the four people involved, everyone was in a state of mind.
Opinions? Who dares to raise them? The twenty-two corpses outside are still warm!
As for resistance, it is even more impossible! Ximen Hao now has more than 300,000 troops stationed outside the four city gates. Who dares?
Of course, that's all if the other party's system is harmful to the country and the people.
However, the right system is simply beneficial to the country and the people, and has increased the work efficiency of Qingguo's central organization several times! It is simply an idea thought up by a genius!
"What? My dears, don't you have anything to mention?"
Ximen Hao asked loudly while holding the Emperor's Sword.
"Your Majesty, I have doubts!"
An old minister came out.
"Oh? It turns out to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. What doubts do you have?"
Ximen Hao looked at the old minister and asked.
Others also looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, fearing that he would say something treacherous and be struck by Ximen Hao's sword.
"Your Majesty, the seven-day working system you mentioned means that you come to the palace for five days every seven days to handle affairs, and you come to Qingyang Palace for a meeting every seven days. Is this system implemented throughout the Qing Dynasty?"
After the Minister of Hubu asked the question, he stood aside with his hands lowered and waited for Ximen Hao's answer.
