Chapter 406 The Emperor's Ruthless Hand
For some fat people, not to mention the other ones, it is like the Ministry of Personnel’s selection. If any Jinshi does not give them gifts, then at the least they will be sent to the border. At the worst, they will be given a supplication and will be given a supplication that will not be qualified. They will go back to the next year and then take the exam.
How many talents have been buried in this over the years? Li Neng didn't want to think too much. If he thought too much, he would easily kill these ministers of the Ministry of Personnel with one sword and one sword.
The so-called Ministry of Personnel election is nothing more than a drop in the bucket of things they did. Almost every official promotion and transfer, they have to get some money. This has almost become a hidden rule in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.
However, because Li Yan did not move their positions after he ascended the throne, most officials still dared not speak out, fearing that if they said it but it was ineffective in the end, they would be the last one.
It is precisely for this reason that when Li Yan suddenly fought back in the court and said that he would conduct a good investigation and investigation into the Ministry of Personnel, almost all the officials did not say even a word for them.
According to Li Neng's understanding, many officials in Chang'an City added several dishes when they returned to the palace after the court that day. For them, it was like the New Year.
Li also knew that the officials who were cheated by the Ministry of Personnel were happy to add the dishes after they returned home, and they were all slapped at the face of their old Li family.
However, at this time, since Li Yan did not want to move only one Ministry of Personnel at a time, he had to endure it. For those disobedient governors, he had to work together.
According to the investigation by Liu Yan and Zhang Xun, a list and account were found in one of the Minister of Personnel's Office's Office, which was provided to him every year by the Anxi Jiedushi Li Baochen. What he gave was the officials who he hoped to work in the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, and even the surrounding Beiting Protectorate and other prefectures and counties.
In addition, he secretly gave the gift to the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Li Wen had reason to believe that after he had made the matter clear, the things he got from scouting the houses of these officials of the Ministry of Personnel must have been more treasures in his Tai Chi Palace.
But this is obviously not a good thing. Whether it is Anxi or Beiting, it is a place where poverty sounds. Where did their things come from? They must have been plundered from local people.
This shows that the local Tang people must live in dire straits, which is also a major reason why Li Yan was anxious to remove the Jiedushi this time.
In fact, Li Neng never thought there was any major problem with the position of Jiedu. It was just that the Tang Dynasty has come to this point today. At this time, Jiedu was no longer the Jiedushi who was able to guard the frontier for the Tang Dynasty.
Since the fixed mindset has been formed, the only way for Li Qing to completely solve this problem is naturally to revoke the position of Jiedu.
Although it is foreseeable that there should be a lot of objections when he raises this matter, it is indeed a matter of being decided in Li Neng's mind.
After moving the Ministry of Personnel and the Jiedushi, there will be many vacant official positions in the Tang Dynasty. This is another headache for Li Qing. The twenty-six Jinshi selected this year are simply a drop in the bucket for these vacant positions. However, Li Qing no longer has much time to think about this matter. After the Ministry of Personnel and the Jiedushi solved it, he felt that these were trivial matters.
At this time, the news that all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were frozen had been passed on to various parts of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, most of the officials of the Tang Dynasty were very happy about this matter. The officials in Chang'an City had already made this matter feel like the New Year atmosphere, let alone the following ones.
The most unlucky group of people spent a lot of money to get an official position of 8 or 9 rank. At this time, before they even earned the money they spent, the people behind them were gone.
These people's mansions can't add any food. On the one hand, the money is given to the elder brothers of the Ministry of Personnel, and another reason is that they have poured it. If their names appear in their small notebook, it will not be certain how long they can sit under their butt.
For a moment, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was so panicked. No one knew whether Li Yan would come to his head once he started to liquidate.
Obviously their worries are unnecessary, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that since Li Neng ascended the throne, he has always adopted the method of catching the big and letting go of the small in his court. Even if he was so powerful that Yuan Zai had been showing off before, as long as you admit defeat and don’t fight with the emperor, at least your life will be fine. At most, Li Neng just let him experience the life he had never experienced before.
After Yan Zhuang sent a letter to Li Zhuang, Li Zhuang was actually very panicked because he just asked Yan Zhuang to operate around Hebei Road and Hebei Road. Beiting Protectorate was definitely a place where Yan Zhuang had not arranged manpower before.
So even if he and the elite soldiers under his command protected Du Huangshang, Li Qing knew that it was definitely not foolproof, because once Shi Siming was really in Pugu Huaien, if they wanted to obtain the evidence, they had to know the true hiding place of Yi Luohe, which would be quite dangerous.
At the same time, Li Baochen, the governor of Anxi, who was holding the largest area of land in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, had also discovered some unusual things from Li Wen's actions towards the Ministry of Personnel.
Li Baochen was originally An Lushan's adopted son, but for some reason, when An Lushan had just occupied Chang'an City, he surrendered to Li Heng who was in Fengxiang at the time of the strongest morale.
Although he surrendered far away from the north at that time, it was no different from time to time for Li Heng, so Li Heng always believed in this person. After returning to Chang'an City, he appointed this person as the governor of Anxi and never cared about it.
Li Baochen is a good person. In the past few years, he not only did not contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but also fooled Li Heng. However, after Li Yan ascended the throne, he obviously did not believe in his tricks.
