The strongest emperor system in history

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Meng Ping, and the officials of the six ministries would like to seek an audience."

As soon as Ji Bing went down, Yu Kezhi came.

Lu Zihong suddenly felt a headache when he heard this.

It had been two days since he released these courtiers from the dungeon, so these courtiers knew everything they should know about what happened in Beiqin City.

For a while, he frantically wrote a letter, saying that he could not act like a tyrant, let alone be a tyrant.

If it was someone else, Lu Zihong would have already slashed at him twice.

But these courtiers are loyal to him, and there are several of them who are loyal to him, including Meng Pingjin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

For the emperor, it has always been that traitorous officials are easy to kill, but loyal officials are difficult to rule.

The treacherous official was full of crimes, and if he wanted to kill him, he would kill him if he found any excuse.

Loyal ministers are loyal and courageous, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of your emperor and your kingdom.

If you kill him, you will easily be called a faint tyrant.

For the North Qin City, which is now in a state of ruin, the sudden rumor that the emperor is a tyrant and a faint king will affect the people's livelihood, and even affect the luck of the city.

Therefore, even though Lu Zihong didn't care about fame, he had to think more about it at this critical moment.

"Ugh!"

With a helpless sigh, Lu Zihong said: "I let these ministers go back to recuperate, why can't they be obedient one by one?"

Originally, he thought that these courtiers would at least have to rest for a period of time to recover their health, and this period of time was enough to pass the limelight, and then he would have plenty of time to think of ways to deal with these courtiers.

In the end, I didn't expect that everyone was a warrior, and the family had a lot of natural resources and treasures, so they just recovered very quickly.

Even the old man Meng Pingjin looked like he was dying when he got out of the prison, but in the past two days his face was flushed and he was in great spirits, and he brought his courtiers every day to persuade him not to be that tyrant.

After pondering for a while, Lu Zihong ordered: "You go and tell them, just say that I want to discuss with General Yang Zaixing how to deal with Lu Yanwu, and I don't have the energy to meet them for the time being, let them perform their duties and work hard for the kingdom."

"Yes!"

Yu Kezhi was ordered to go down.

"correct."

Lu Zihong suddenly said: "How is the situation with Gu Chengzhong and Concubine Nangong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Nangong has been the same since she released a Divine Falcon to the west on the day her Majesty went down, and there is nothing different about Gu Chengzhong." Yu Ke reported directly.

"That's good."

Lu Zihong nodded.

Yang Zaixing captured the Divine Falcon as soon as it left the palace, and the content of the letter was to explain his attitude towards the Nangong family, so that the Nangong family could restrain themselves.

There was no other information other than this, which made Lu Zihong feel a little more at ease.

After all, Nangong Shulian was the concubine of his cheap father, so he didn't want to kill him unless it was absolutely necessary.

"After you go down, notify Jia Xu by the way, let him come to see me immediately." Lu Zihong ordered.

"Yes!"

Yu Ke directly took the order.

Soon, Jia Xu arrived at the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Jia Xu." Jia Xu bowed and saluted.

"Wenhe doesn't need to be more polite."

Lu Zihong waved his hand and said helplessly: "I think Wenhe should have seen all the officials outside the palace gate when he came, and he also knew their purpose!"

Jia Xu nodded, he had heard about it in the past two days.

Some courtiers even wanted to ask him to persuade him after knowing that he was a close minister of the emperor, but he refused.

"So, Wen He, think about it for me, is there any good way to make them stop bothering me." Lu Zihong asked.

"I do have a plan." Jia Xu bowed and said.

"Is there really a way?" Lu Zihong was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "What way?"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have been familiar with the affairs of the six ministries these two days, and found that there are redundant officials in the six ministries. Many officials usually have nothing to do in the six ministries. There are many officials and courtiers outside."

Lu Zihong frowned slightly, he knew about this.

And it's not unfamiliar, there are more and more complicated things like this in the previous life.

He has always been uncomfortable with this kind of thing, but because he has just regained power, he has no time to clean up these redundant officials.

Looking at Jia Xu, Lu Zihong asked: "Wenhe, are you planning to let me clean up these redundant officials?"

"No."

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Right now, Northern Qin City is in a state of waste, if it is reported that His Majesty wants to reduce officials, it may cause even greater chaos, which will definitely affect the people's livelihood, and further affect the atmosphere of Northern Qin City. transport."

"Furthermore, the internal relations among the officials of the Six Departments are intricate. It is possible that an ordinary official, such as the father and uncle of Ku Lingshi, may be the head of other departments, or even Yuanwailang, or a doctor."

"Under this kind of relationship, it will definitely affect the whole body. At that time, it will cause chaos in the government. This is not a good thing for the revival of Beiqin City and even the entire Beiqin Kingdom."

Lu Zihong nodded, he naturally understood what Jia Xu said.

This situation was caused because of problems in the official selection system of the Northern Qin Kingdom.

But this kind of system change cannot be done in a short while, so Lu Zihong hasn't attacked them yet.

But now that Jia Xu mentioned this point, he probably thought of a solution.

So, he looked at Jia Xu, waiting for Jia Xu's next words.

He couldn't believe that the poisonous man saw the problem, but didn't find a solution.

Sure enough, Jia Xu pondered for a while and said, "Since it is impossible to clear up these redundant officials in this situation, let them go!"

"In the current Sili area, because of His Majesty's purge of military rations, many counties and counties have a shortage of officials. It is a good place to send them down."

Di Renjie was ordered to inspect Sili. At present, seven county magistrates have died in his hands, and as many as a hundred related officials have been killed.

As for the three clans of officials implicated, there are more than ten thousand.

Today's Sili officialdom can be said to be bloody!

Fortunately, the story of Lu Zihong's defeat of Lu Yanwu was spread, and at the same time the military was in full swing, otherwise the officials in many places would have to hold high the flag of rebellion.

But even so, Di Renjie and his party were assassinated many times, but facing Li Yuanfang, a warrior who was at the peak of the late Congenital Void Realm, those assassins seemed too weak.

"Sili?"

Lu Zihong frowned slightly, and said: "The Sili officialdom is indeed short of people, but what is lacking is good officials, good officials. Can those officials from the Sixth Department who are dawdling around be qualified for the position of parent officials in a county?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think this is irrelevant."

Jia Xu replied: "Di Renjie killed so much in the Sili officialdom, causing everyone in the Sili officialdom to be in danger, and blood flowed like a river. One side of the people."

"As far as ordinary people are concerned, as long as parents and officials in one place don't meddle in their lives, don't corrupt the law and don't bend the law for personal gain, they are already good officials, and if they do something that is beneficial to the people's livelihood, then they are the Lord Qingtian!"

Lu Zihong fell silent when he heard that.
