Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"Why did Duke Qin do this?"

Seeing this, Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, had no choice but to stand up. The Ministry of Industry was responsible for the construction and management of the two tombs. Even if he didn't want to, he could only ask a question knowingly.

"It's not a big deal."

Li Xiu glanced at the conspicuous dossier on the table, and then looked at the three of Li Banghua in front of him.

"The construction of the Changling Mausoleum in Deling cost a lot of money, but the governor found that the accounts were not right. At least 40 taels of silver went missing..."

"40 million taels of silver!"

Hearing this number, Li Banghua and the others couldn't help but gasped. Before the three could react, Li Xiu casually picked up a roll of account books on the table and handed it to Li Banghua.

"The layers of greed and deduction, and the purchase of materials for the construction of the imperial tomb at a price much higher than the market price, the supervisors are in the same boat..."

Slowly speaking, Li Xiu glanced at the group of kneeling officials in charge. There is no doubt that they are just a group of people, the real behind-the-scenes people who still live high in the temple.

"The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the construction of the two tombs, the Ministry of Households is in charge of allocating funds, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of supervision, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of construction guidance, and the Ministry of War is in charge of maintaining the order and stability of the two tombs. Most of the courts are involved. Such a flaw, My lords, shouldn't I give an explanation to Bendu and an explanation to His Majesty?"

Li Xiu turned around slowly, looked at the three people in front of him, his voice was flat but unquestionable.

"The Ministry of Industry will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and will never let any treacherous minister go, and will definitely give His Majesty an explanation!"

Li Banghua had no choice but to be seized by others, so he could only bite the bullet and make a promise, otherwise, let Qin Guogong in front of him take advantage of the problem, not to mention how many people would die, but one radish and one hole, at that time, Qin Guogong's hands, then It penetrated into every department thoroughly.

Liu Qiyuan and the others also hurriedly assured that the matter was a matter of the court, and no outside force should be allowed to interfere. The rules were what they had to maintain.

"Okay, the integrity of the adults, the governor can still trust, the governor will wait and see."

Li Xiuzhi's straightforwardness obviously exceeded the expectations of Liu Qiyuan and the others.

According to what they thought, Duke Qin would never let this great opportunity pass by. After all, only the two mausoleums were built with internal funds for the construction of the huge court hall, and the Duke of Qin had the opportunity to really participate in it. Opportunity, the other ministries, the Duke of Qin doesn't have much room to intervene.

Not to mention that like now, people can hold the handles of various ministries without anyone noticing.

Such a rare opportunity, not only did not make use of it, but it was so lightly revealed?

Li Banghua and the others still hadn't reacted, but Li Xiu's voice sounded again.

"This is the preliminary investigation result of Jin Yiwei, and I will leave it to the adults for reference. The governor is waiting for the good news from the adults!"

Li Xiu patted the investigation file handed over by Li Ruolian on the table, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth. With a wave of his hand, all the soldiers gathered, and at the same time, his personal guards led the horses. Riding the horse and moving is also going away.

……

Chapter 249 The overall situation is decided

"This...is not like Duke Qin's way of acting!"

"It's weird!"

Looking at the figures who were surrounded by soldiers and leaving, Liu Qiyuan shook his head, eyes full of puzzlement.

At this moment, Li Banghua went to the military tent, picked up the file on the table, and opened it. With just one glance, Li Banghua's expression changed drastically!

"how?"

Sun Chuanting was surprised and strode forward.

Li Banghua sighed speechlessly, and handed the dossier to Sun Chuanting.

After taking a look, Sun Chuanting's expression was astonished as if it was contagious!

It was only at this time that Liu Qiyuan realized that something was wrong. He stepped forward, and seeing the densely packed names and official positions on the file, his cheeks couldn't help twitching.

He even took the initiative to help with this mess!

Wouldn't it be good to let Qin Guogong be this bad guy...

The three of them looked at each other, suddenly speechless.

The list of dossiers involved most of the court.

As for the urine nature of the officials, how could they not be clear.

Under the muddled waters, the related interests involved must be more than these. If it gets involved, it will undoubtedly be a big case involving the entire court!

This……

A bloody storm, let them hold knives?

"Good calculation!"

Li Banghua sighed suddenly.

"Let's do the bad guys. The courtiers are all in danger. Whoever has the energy to stare at his layout, he, can safely advance the layout of the various guards..."

Sun Chuanting also sighed quietly: "More than that, the knife is in our hands, once it is cut off, people's hearts will be messed up!"

"At that time, he will provoke and win one or two out of it..."

Up to this point, the three of them were silent, and in the end, only a helpless sigh was left behind.

The knife was given to them, whether to cut it or not, and to what extent, is not in their control...

What else is more helpless than this...

……

"40 taels of silver..."

At the Duke's mansion, Li Xiu looked at the list in his hand, which was far more detailed than that given to Sun Chuanting and the other three, but couldn't help but smile.

No matter which era, official corruption is inevitable.

This is the nature of human beings. Even if there are people who can get out of the mud and remain untouched, they are only a very small minority.

What's more, in such an environment of corrupt officials, corruption is really only a trivial item.

Even, in Li Xiu's view, the factors that determine whether an official is useful or not are not such as high morality and a clean hand.

Ji Xiaolan and He Shen are two types of officials.

He prefers to use Heshen.

Corruption is fine, dereliction of duty is fine, bullying the people is not impossible.

However, the things that have been explained should be done well and beautifully!

As long as you do this, you are a worthy person.

Of course, everything can't be too much.

For example, this time, as many as 40 taels of silver were swallowed before the construction of the two mausoleums was over halfway.

If it was in the past, he would definitely have to raise the butcher knife and kill happily.

But now, when assisting the country and governing the country, there are priorities, and he can only suppress the desire to kill in his heart. In other words, this case of corruption of ink, compared to ending it in person, he, looking down from a high, as a decision maker, may be more important. It is beneficial.

The court is in chaos, so his actions will not be stared at by everyone.

Letting out a long breath, Li Xiu stroked his forehead lightly, his eyes also focused on the many files on the table.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty, after more than two hundred years of evolution, has been repaired and repaired by generations of emperors and courtiers, and it has long been extremely complicated.

In fact, Li Xiu didn't think that the guard system was the main reason for the corruption of the Ming army, not even a secondary reason.

Disregarding the environment of the times to talk about the flaws of a system is empty talk.

As long as the system needs to be maintained by people, it is impossible to have a perfect system. It can only be said to keep pace with the times and try to keep the defects of the system within a controllable range.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty's guard system has been corrupted to this day is that it has not kept pace with the times, resulting in a long-term rigid system and the result of the evolution of the general environment.

Today's military system of the Ming Dynasty is the coexistence of the Weisuo system and the recruitment system.

Between the two, in fact, there is no distinction between good and bad. In other words, in this corrupt environment, whether it is the military households in the guards or the recruiting battalions, they should be rotten or rotten.

Everything Li Xiu is doing now, whether it is mobilizing the soldiers under his command to disperse to various places, or using the military academy to manipulate the promotion and deployment of the guards stationed in various places, has only one purpose.

That is to strengthen the control over the Ming army.

Soldiers, soldiers, major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated!

The first sentence of the opening chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War explains the importance of the army. Li Xiu has been in charge of the army for a long time, so naturally he is not unclear.

Only when he strengthened his control over all the troops of the Ming Dynasty, could his orders be carried out. In this way, with the assistance of generals at all levels, he could gradually eliminate the shortcomings of the Ming army from top to bottom.

At that time, it doesn't matter what system it is, whether it's guards or recruiting soldiers.

After all, the existence of the system is only to allow the superiors to better control all living beings, and to better enable the lower-ranking people to work for the superiors.

Whether it is the guard system or the recruitment system, this can be easily done.

Even if he casts the best system, it cannot withstand the wear and tear of people's hearts and time, and it will eventually become corrupted.

He only needs to guarantee that in his hands, it is the peak, and that it can continue is enough.

As for the future, he can only choose to leave it to the future.

The future generations are capable, and the future is still brilliant.

The future generations are useless, so there is nothing he can do about it.

But now, Li Xiu's control over the military system of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly progressing smoothly.

In fact, no matter how corrupt the general environment is, in this era, the authority of the center is still beyond doubt.

Especially the current imperial center, after several battles, counting the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a great victory, and the authority of the center is at the time of its prosperity.

He acts in the name of the center, although there is resistance, but under the general trend, it is nothing.

Of course, this is also the reason for his current actions, which are only limited to the surface. They are only the reason for dispatching troops and not violating the deep-seated interest relationship.

Although there are many discerning people who can see that Li Xiu's actions against the Ming army are like boiling frogs in warm water. After accumulating enough basic strength, it will be too late for any counterattack.

However, people always have a fluke heart, and how can they have the heart to die if they don't reach a dead end.

Up to now, Li Xiu's mobilization and promotion of the entire Daming army system has come to an end. A large number of capable soldiers under his command are like seeds scattered among the garrisons in various guards of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Martial Arts Academy, hundreds of generals from various guards of the Ming Dynasty have gathered, from as small as a thousand households to as large as a commanding envoy of one guard. The seeds he spread left enough time to grow.

And this is just the beginning. Check out the yellow registers of military households, clean up the guards and fields, completely wipe out the bad habits and ills, and change their appearance. What he wants is a million-dollar army that has returned to the peak and is under his absolute control!

Of course, this ultimate goal is far from being accomplished in a short while, and the resistance involved is also unimaginable.

However, as long as this goal is only half completed, as long as Daming's entire military system is under his influence, it will not become the reliance of others, or stand in opposition to him.

Then, the overall situation is settled!

And this point is not difficult, and it can even be said that it will not be long before it can be achieved...

by that time……

Thinking up to this point, Li Xiu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

A country and a nation are all in his hands, and everything is moved by his one thought.

No one can stop his pace. This country, this nation will also be reborn in his hands and stand proudly on top of the world.

In the vast history, Li Xiu will also leave him with a rich and colorful stroke!

2 Chapter Fifty

"Heaven!"

"Heaven...the Son of Heaven..."

"Yes, these two words are the son of heaven, the son of heaven, you are Brother Chun..."

"Mmm... Mother, what is the Son of Heaven?"

"The son of heaven, the king, the father of heaven and the mother of earth, is the son of heaven, the king and father of the whole world..."

"Brother Chun, you are the emperor, so from now on, you must study hard and learn how to be an emperor!"

Outside Qianqing Palace, Li Xiu stopped. Based on his current perception, even though the distance was far away and the voice was inaudible, it was extremely clear to his ears.

After being silent for a while, Li Xiu looked at Wang Chengen who was standing on his body: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty, how are you doing these days?"

"It's very good, the palace is quite stable. Recently, the empress is still teaching His Majesty how to read and write, and His Majesty is learning very quickly..."

"It's just that His Majesty has been lethargic and doesn't want to get out of bed recently. Every time the empress has to persuade him for a long time..."

"Your Majesty is young, and it is time for you to grow up. The court meeting is too early, and it is normal for Your Majesty to not be able to bear it. Over there in the imperial dining room, you must be ready..."

"That's natural. Your Majesty personally watched the imperial dining room, and specially asked the imperial physicians to prescribe a few prescriptions for food supplements, and gave them to His Majesty with different patterns every day."
