Chapter 1578 Spying
The ministers looked at each other.
Everyone knows that what the emperor said comes from the allusion "Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi for accepting advice".
Someone said immediately: "What the emperor said is wrong. Receiving advice is for the exclusive use of the emperor. We, the ministers, only need to obey the emperor's orders. How can we dare to listen to other people's advice?"
"Okay, if you stab me in the face, you should be rewarded with a hundred taels," the emperor nodded first, and then said expressionlessly, "But misinterpreting my meaning is extremely abominable, and I will receive ten strokes of the imperial staff."
Then there were extremely vicious factory guards who dragged people down to beat them.
From this point of view, we know that the emperor has always had real power.
The ministers also have a way to deal with the emperor, that is, they only work but do not exert any effort on weekdays.
"Your Majesty is wise, and our ministers should also imitate the sages, be humble and prudent, and be good at listening to others." Chen Guoguan, the first assistant, was still able to take the overall situation into consideration and quickly followed the emperor's words.
The emperor nodded.
This chief assistant is still reliable. I can't say he is too honest, but he is an honest person.
The other party is writing a book at home.
The content is to collect taxes from ministers, big landowners, big gentry, and big merchants, find money, and enrich the national treasury.
As the head of a hundred officials, yet he is prepared to do such a thing, which shows his character.
If it had been before, he would have happily accepted it.
Things will inevitably go wrong, because there will be many resisters and many rumor-mongers, and then he will doubt the chief minister's thoughts, and in the end he will let it go, and even cheat the chief minister.
Now that he understands the other party’s true thoughts and actions through Xiawang, of course he believes in the other party.
"Okay, what Chen Shoufu said is good. Let's stab each other face to face." The emperor said while sitting on the stage.
The ministers were stunned.
This scene that happened in the main hall was all seen in Wen Rensheng’s eyes.
Although he is in the distant Broken Star Ridge, the Internet is so magical, bringing distant people and distant things closer to his eyes.
It seems ordinary to modern people, but it actually changes the entire social form extremely profoundly.
For the first time, justice truly becomes public knowledge.
The cost of doing evil has increased dramatically.
In the past, to do evil, you only had to oppress a few people. Now, to do evil, you have to silence everyone in the world.
These ministers did not know that they were experiencing a kind of meeting often held by later generations of companies: criticism and self-criticism.
This is the boss’s biggest weapon against his subordinates.
Things that were originally hidden were gradually exposed through criticism.
Even a veteran will purify himself for three days after some self-criticism.
Of course, after three days, we will do whatever we have to do.
Wen Rensheng remembers that at that time, his colleagues always had a headache about such meetings.
Now it is the turn of these ministers.
…………
“I want to correct Zheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs.” A fourth-rank official spoke first.
Everyone looked over immediately.
"Zheng Shangshu stayed up for three days last month in order to raise funds for the Northwest | Army. If this continues, his body will inevitably collapse and the imperial court will lose a pillar. How can such behavior not be criticized?" the fourth-rank official said sternly. .
Everyone was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.
Good routine.
“I also want to report to the official Gongsun Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel. He is too harsh and does not allow his subordinates to make even the smallest mistakes. He always says that if you appoint the wrong official, you will harm the county. He treats his subordinates so harshly. , how to make subordinates work with peace of mind?”
“I want to report Wang Cifu, but Wang Cifu’s daughter only went out once, and he beat her up, saying that she must strictly abide by etiquette and not see her husband before leaving the cabinet. He hanged himself the next day. Such an act is unreasonable to be a father.”
The emperor heard it a little interesting at first, but then the more he listened, the more something seemed wrong.
Good guy, this is the opposite of a compliment.
The difference is that some people are superb and innovative, while some people only learn to walk in HD, imitate parrots, and make people laugh.
"In this case, everyone should write a note and withdraw from the court."
"The Holy One has decreed that we withdraw from the court." The great eunuch Li Guoen said in a long voice.
Returning to the harem, the emperor hurried back to the bed and lay down.
As soon as I had an idea, I went to check on the minister again. In the largest Yingchun Tower in the capital.
Several ministers were drinking, accompanied by the oiran Jinke.
The emperor was very angry when he saw this.
A few years ago, when he wanted to bring a beautiful woman into the palace, he was advised by his officials that he should not be obsessed with beauty, so he had to reluctantly part with her and abandon her.
The minister who advised him was the Minister of Rites. At this time, he was hugging the oiran and drinking a small drink.
What a moral gentleman!
These damn guys can only use words to deceive the king.
Damn factory guard, why don’t you report these things to the police?
Oh, the factory owner said a few days ago that there is no money left for the fans.
Do you really think you are stupid?
The fans are just like Bai Ding among the government officials. Even if they don’t have money, there are many people who are willing to work because there are places to make money everywhere.
Businessmen, good families, and ordinary people are all the targets of their blackmail, but they dare not blackmail the ministers.
It’s time to change the knife.
"The Emperor has changed." said the Minister of Hubu.
"Your Majesty still has the old virtues, has an impatient temper, and comes out as soon as he thinks. When he believes in you, he can dig out his heart and lungs for you. When he doesn't believe you, you just wait for death." The Minister of Rites shook his head. road.
Everyone nodded.
It seems that everyone has figured out the emperor's temperament.
The emperor was speechless.
No wonder the ministers and workers don’t contribute. The more they contribute, the more mistakes they make and the faster they die.
If it weren’t for Xiawang, he wouldn’t have let everyone come in to remonstrate, so he wouldn’t have known about his fatal flaw.
Or maybe he knew, but he didn't realize the severity, and even thought he was doing fine.
Because the ministers are not trustworthy to begin with, they only know how to annex land and collect money.
However, there are a few good ministers who are worthy of trust.
The chief minister, the governors of the five provinces... there are about a dozen people.
If in the past, I couldn't tell the difference, I could only believe it for a while, but I couldn't believe it all the time.
Now that we have the Divine Network, we can always trust it.
You can also know their concerns.
The imperial court has no money, and these people understand it.
Just like Governor Sun, he did not ask for money from the court, but only needed a Shangfang sword to attack the vassal kings and bureaucrats who had occupied the land of the garrison. He wanted the land back and distributed it to the soldiers for farming, thus establishing a Qin army of 20,000 people. military.
Performing military exploits, the rebels fled in all directions.
It is a pity that because of this, many ministers wrote letters saying that he was arrogant and domineering, but he still believed him, and he was even dismissed from office and imprisoned twice.
I was really wrong and wasted my time.
I can obviously kill the rebels several times, but I am impatient.
At this moment, these important officials in the court were talking about something again.
"Do you know about the Xiawang? It seems that it can inform the people of the world?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance said again.
"That has to be seen by someone before it can be spread to the top. It's not worth making a fuss about, just drinking." The Minister of Rites said nonchalantly.
"Let's put it this way, it's not good...didn't the oiran see us?"
"How dare a common girl upload any Xiawang? Several adults are all descendants of saints, but Don't believe in the ways of ghosts and gods," the oiran said quickly.
"Yes, what kind of chivalrous net is just a miraculous skill, not worth mentioning." The Minister of Rites advised.
However, the other people were not so stupid, and they all left after a while.
The emperor was disappointed.
Looks like these guys are pretty smart.
It will be difficult to pry into their privacy in the future.
