Chapter 33 Overkill
Nowadays, officials outside the country are greedy for the fat of the people, cruelly for the anger of the world, and do things to deceive the ears and ears of the court. Even though they cry and cry, they cannot fully express their feelings... The blood of the Yan, which has led to political destruction and people's livelihood.
This memorial from Yinghe to Minning in the early years of Daoguang made Liu Ji slapped the table.
"I didn't expect it!" Liu Ji sighed and thought it out loud. Unexpectedly, Yinghe was a loyal and famous official who was committed to the country's rejuvenation. This memorial in the first year of Daoguang pointed out the issue of the government, requiring the abolition of various bad rules among officials and the restoration of integrity in the officialdom.
However, Liu Ji felt that the memorial was still not revealed to the root cause of the administration. The Qing Dynasty's donation of officials was probably known to everyone in the world. Why didn't Yinghe know? I think he was worried.
After returning from the morning court, Liu Jie found the memorial without any objection. This memorial always reminded him of the information brought back by Dong Haichuan. The officials in this world were afraid that they would destroy anything Liu Ji wanted to do. As long as such a bureaucratic class was present, Liu Ji would never be able to revive China.
When he returned to the imperial study, Liu Ji remembered the harm of donating officials. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more afraid he became.
How could these people who pay for the official positions be honest and dedicated? They only plan to make money back all day long, and then buy a bigger official to make more money. The only ones who suffer are the people and the emperor in the deep palace. Liu Ji thought of this and wanted to drive away the donated officials in the world immediately.
He immediately summoned Eunuch Cao to ask him to polish a thick plate of ink, and thought for a moment in his mind. Liu Jieying planned to issue an imperial edict that shocked the court.
From now on, this dynasty prohibits donating officials, and those who say that donating officials are punished for serious crimes. All donating officials in office will be suspended and disbanded and returned to their hometowns after the new official takes office. Before leaving office, officials who commit favoritism, fraud, corruption and abuse of power will be taken as a warning by officials in the case of Zhao Ergu in Shanxi. Those who commit crimes will be severely punished. From now on, the Ministry of Personnel will select and dispatch loyal and straightforward people from various places to replace donated officials from the court.
This vernacular imperial edict was first written by Cao Zhenyong and then stamped with a jade seal. After sending it to the cabinet, the official seal of the cabinet's Grand Secretary was stamped with a copy and sent to all levels of government offices from the central to the local government.
The yellow page of silk paper is so light that it makes people feel the weight. Who would have imagined how huge the vibration this page will bring?
***************************************
The woman who cooks porridge in front of Changchun Temple gave birth to a 19th month of June.
The official only cares about the mouth, regardless of age.
The child eats the mother-in-law and eats porridge, and he will not get rid of the belly with two bowls a day.
Eat in the wind and sleep in the sunset.
The child is changing, the child is alone, and the child is sick and the weaning girl continues tears.
My son, don’t die. I will take advantage of the porridge for my mother to hide her tears and dare not cry.
This poem tells the tragic situation of the affected people barely living the people with the porridge factory in the court. It is a common scene in the Qing Dynasty.
This year, Zhili started drought and then rained, and Governor Jiang Youqiu used the method of using labor instead of relief to repair the Yongding River.
By the end of the year, Jiang Youjiu had no money from the treasury, and he understood that this was somewhat due to the abolition of the government's donation system.
Jiang Youqi also found that the officials around him had been replaced, and there were not many old officials around him, so the ones they were replaced were naturally donated officials who had already become unheard of.
The emperor's move had an immediate effect. Jiang Youzhi found that the remaining officials were careful not to make money as blatantly as before.
Hearing that the emperor was watching the people from the camp in the new army to compete with the people from the new army to compete in martial arts, Jiang Youzhi decided to take advantage of the emperor's mood to go there to try his luck and see if he could ask for some more money to let the affected people survive this winter.
When Jiang Youli sat in the official sedan chair and headed straight to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, he had heard that the emperor had trained a new army with strict discipline. When he arrived here, he was amazed. He saw several guard soldiers standing proudly at the gate. In the winter, these soldiers were wearing thin clothes but stood straight, and their green clothes stood there like several pine trees. What was strange was that the style of the clothes made Jiang Youli feel very funny. The two narrow pieces of clothes really seemed to be worn by women, but it also highlighted the majesty of these soldiers.
When we arrived at the tidy camp gate, the snow on the ground was swept clean. Looking inside, there was no snow in the playground. There were many people wearing green clothes sitting neatly around the playground. People in the middle of winter were not afraid of catching a cold. From time to time, people in the crowd were leading them to shout neatly: "Come on." The sound was majestic and neat, and the eyes lit up by the listeners. It was such a manly world.
Jiang Youli was looking at the guards at the door came up to interrogate.
After reporting the purpose of coming, Jiang Youzhi and his followers were stopped outside the door.
Soon after, the guard commander Da Yintai and a young man with purple-red faces walked out from inside, and Da Yintai, who was far away, greeted Jiang Youqiu.
Jiang Youqiu did not dare to neglect the celebrity in front of the emperor and bowed to greet him.
The young man with a purple-red face greeted the guards a few words, and Jiang Youqi was released.
He approached the two, Da Yintai introduced to Jiang Youqiu: "Governor General, this is Gong Zizhen, the governor of the first town of the new army, assists Yang Zheng and lead the first town of the new army."
Jiang Youqiu seemed to remember something when he heard Gong Zizhen's name. He thought for a while and pointed at Gong Zizhen and said, "Mr. Gong is the master of Zhejiang Province in Jiaqing Wuyin. He didn't expect that he would train a new army for the emperor now. It's really a genius with both civil and military skills."
Gong Zizhen just smiled slightly and responded faintly: "I dare not, Lord Jiang is famous all over the world, and the students are just young students who have just become the emperor. They have gained the grace of the current emperor to know the favor and join the army to serve as the sage of the country."
Jiang Youqiu laughed and said, "Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers. Lord Gong doesn't have to be humble. Those who can write such poems are not ordinary people."
When Gong Zizhen heard Jiang Youqi recite his own poem, he looked up and asked Jiang Youqi: "Master Jiang thought that the emperor has driven away all the donated officials in the world, and no officials in the world dared to be greedy anymore."
Jiang Youji laughed again and replied, "The superior intention is profound, and it is not something that ordinary people can guess. I can do my part-time job."
Gong Zizhen laughed and said, "Officials, soldiers and people are in a difficult situation, and five or six generals who are neither scholars, farmers, workers, nor businessmen, or ate tobacco, practice cults, and kill them, and die. They will never treat a single inch of silk, and a grain of rice to benefit people. Now the emperor punishes officials with thunder, eliminates corruption and removes corruption, so that knowledgeable people in the world will be happy. Today, if the lower part is sick and dies, those who want to innovate must sacrifice their heads and shed blood. If they follow the emperor, they will not regret it even if they die nine times."
Jiang Youqiu laughed unanimously, and he walked without saying a word.
