The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 817 Strict Investigation
"The minister waits for the order!"

Just when the three people who were pointed out vowed to investigate strictly, Zhao Yanxun went on to say: "I will also let the supervisor and Jin Yiwei secretly investigate such cases..."

"You have to be careful!"

The last sentence made Wang Shiwei and the others extremely worried.

If there are missing cases, it means that they are not careful, and they can be charged with cover-up in their eyes.

Obviously, if they don't do their jobs well, dismissal is possible.

"The ministers will definitely live up to the emperor's instructions!"

After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Yanxun calmly said: "This is the best, let's all get up!"

His expression had changed, which also changed the atmosphere in the hall, but it still made everyone feel extremely depressed.

Stepping up the imperial steps, Zhao Yanxun asked, "How is the Ministry of Rites preparing for this year's spring?"

Hearing this, Pan Qifeng, the new minister of the Ministry of Rites, reported: "Reporting to the emperor, the Tribute Court was ready last month, and most of the candidates from the counties came to Beijing. The twentieth exam this month can be held as scheduled!"

In other words, there is still half a month to go until today.

"Arrange carefully, don't make mistakes!"

"Yes!"

Sitting back on the dragon chair, Zhao Yanxun continued: "I plan to expand the scope of admission to the Imperial College this year. All domestic students can enter the prison as long as they pass the examination!"

After the Battle of Jingnan, and Zhao Yanxun's last appointment, there are now only 400 people in the Imperial Academy, and only [-] people actually go to school.

Now that Zhao Yanxun is in power, he has a new positioning of the functions of the Imperial College, which can be compared to the School of Lizheng.

Now that he wants to reform, there will be more and more conflicts with the scholar-officials and civil officials, which forces him to make early preparations.

He must have enough talent reserves to be able to make up for his own people in time when others drop their picks.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Yanxun continued, "I plan to increase the number of students in the Imperial College to 2000!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yanxun's words, everyone present was taken aback. This is not a small number.

At this time, Lu Chaowen couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, is there any condition for recruiting so many people?"

The others also pricked up their ears to listen. The emperor made such a big noise, obviously there will be big money coming.

"Anyone who has a scholar or above, as long as they pass the exam, can enter the school!"

In the past, only people could enter the Guozijian to study. If it is true what Zhao Yanxun said, if you are a scholar, you can enter the Guozijian, then the scope of enrollment is too big.

At this time, Pan Qifeng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there are not enough teachers and venues in the prison to recruit so many people!"

"I have a plan for this matter. There are a hundred students who graduated from the former School of Political Science and Politics. They have not yet been appointed officials. They can be taught in the Imperial College!"

The School of Lizheng cultivated Zhao Yanxun's own people, and Zhao Yanxun could trust them to teach.

"Your majesty, non-subjects despise you. The students of Lizheng Academy have only been enrolled for one year. I'm afraid they haven't read all the teachings of the sages..."

Before Pan Qifeng finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun said: "They are only responsible for teaching mathematics and laws, not the books of sages!"

After learning these two things, you can become a qualified tool person, and it is no problem to serve as a grassroots county official.

"As for the teachings of the sages, it is up to the Ministry of Rites to decide who to teach!"

With regard to Zhao Yanxun's appointment, except for Tuesday, the rest were quite opposed to it, but they dared not speak out because of Zhao Yanxun's ferocity.

Zhao Yanxun knew what these people were thinking. There were bound to be many people who opposed him, and he was just waiting for someone to jump out.

With a strong army in hand, whoever jumps out will be crushed to death.

"Okay, you go on your own errands, Zhou Chengping stays!"

"According to the order!"

A group of ministers withdrew from the main hall, and Zhou Chengping bowed and stood in attendance.

"Zhou Qing, follow me out for a walk!"

"Yes!"

Without anyone following, Zhao Yanxun led Zhou Chengping before walking towards the main hall.

On the way, Zhao Yanxun asked some questions about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the latter answered them carefully.

"Zhou Qing, you're in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it's hard to take care of yourself!"

"This time I went out of Beijing, what I saw and heard was shocking, and the suffering of the people is beyond words!"

In Zhou Chengping's mind, although Zhao Yanxun's succession to the throne is not very honorable, his love for the people really makes him respect, which is also the main motivation for him to follow.

"What the emperor said is absolutely true!"

"For example, Gao Wenbai, the magistrate of Longying in Gyeonggi County. This person is plundering people's wealth with the gentry. It's crazy!"

"His subordinate Hu Lizhen, the county magistrate, has a good character and puts the people first, but he is suppressed and humiliated by him. I am afraid that even the official will be lost!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Chengping was undoubtedly extremely angry, and he didn't realize what was going on under his nose.

"Your servant is negligent, please punish the emperor!!"

Zhao Yanxun shook his head, and then said: "You must investigate the matter of Longying Mansion strictly, you must investigate it to the end, the government office, the feudal secretary, the governor and even the six ministries..."

"No matter who is involved, you must not tolerate it. I will punish the crime severely and warn the world!"

Hearing Gao Wenbai's words before, Zhao Yanxun knew that his network of connections was huge, and it would be no problem to get rid of a county magistrate.

According to the latest news, Hu Lizhen has been completely dismissed from the county government, Gao Wenbai is already active, and Hu Lizhen's county magistrate is dismissed on charges of crimes.

In the past few days, Zhao Yanxun has not interfered, presumably things are almost done, and now it is time to close the net.

"The minister leads the order!"

At this moment, Zhou Chengping was full of fighting spirit.

With the emperor's full support, he finally didn't have to worry about various personnel relations, and he could let go of his hands and do a big job.

Stopping, Zhao Yanxun said with a smile: "You go!"

"Yes!"

Then, Zhao Yanxun ordered people to pass on Lin Quan and Su Chuyun, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

Now these two yamen are Zhao Yanxun's eyes to monitor the world, and their efforts are indispensable in handling the case this time.

In Qian'an Palace, when the two chief agents arrived, Zhao Yanxun did not rush to order the mission, but first asked about the recent situation in various places.

Among them, there are two most important things, one is the movement of Hu people in the northwest, and the other is Xie Xiaofang's errands in the south.

Now outside the Northwest Pass, it is a foregone conclusion that the Hu people on the grassland will move back, and the spies they sent have found out more important news.

The Hu people moved back, neither voluntarily nor because of the zombies, but because of the pressure of the Western barbarians.

"Western barbarian?" Zhao Yanxun asked back, which made him curious.

Su Chuyun nodded, and replied: "This is the account of the nobles of the Hu people, but they are of a lower level, and they don't know the specific situation of the barbarians in the West!"

Immediately, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Pay close attention and investigate more!"

"According to the order!"

In the case of limited food supplies, these Hu people who moved east will definitely move to the south.

At this moment, in Zhao Yanxun's mind, the importance of the Northwest situation has increased a lot.

After asking about some things in the Northwest, Zhao Yanxun asked Lin Quan, "What's the situation with Hu Lizhen?"

"Hu Lizhen has been suspended. The day before yesterday, he couldn't even open a court hearing. This is all because of Gao Wenbai's troubles!"

Having said that, Lin Quan raised his head slightly and asked, "Your Majesty...do you want to take Gao Wenbai down?"

Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "You only need to investigate the information, and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will handle the case!"

"Yes!"

"This time there is an investigation into the collection of taxes in spring, the editorial supervisor needs to investigate more. You must know more about the number of crimes committed under the hood than I do. If you find out, report everything!"

Although the intelligence network of editors and supervisors is more comprehensive, they are not omnipotent, so Zhao Yanxun wants to put pressure on them, forcing them to do their jobs as well as possible.

"According to the order!"
