The Bad Guys: Their understanding is beyond belief, shocking the Bad Guys
Chapter 116: Arrangements for Old Officials
The bright moon is in the sky and there is no cloud in the sky.
Bianzhou City.
Inside the palace.
Su Qingjue, wearing a purple and gold flowing cloud shirt and a precious jade crown on his head, stood proudly on the platform below the throne.
His eyes were stern, like indifferent cold stars, looking down mercilessly at the ministers below the stage, as if they were just a group of insignificant ants.
The old Liang officials below the stage were like frightened birds, their faces as pale as paper and terrified.
Most of them were woken up by soldiers while they were asleep and then forcibly taken into the palace.
It seems like Su Qingjue is going to settle accounts with them.
So, these people were all scared to death.
Several elderly ministers were so frightened that they became incontinent when they were dragged out of their homes, and urine gushed out like a broken dam.
The situation for others was not much better. They all experienced life and death separations at their doorsteps.
"I haven't contacted you before. I called you here today because I want to explain a few things to you."
"call......"
Hearing this, the ministers' uneasy hearts were temporarily calmed down.
Fortunately.
As long as you don't chop off their heads, anything is fine.
You are the boss, you have the final say!
"First, although you are the ministers of the old Liang, I am not intolerant. You have been trying to please me in various ways these days, but you are just worried about your own future."
"I can tell you clearly that in my place, the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. Whether you can continue to be in a high position depends entirely on your personal ability."
Ok? ? ?
There is actually a good thing!!
The ministers looked surprised.
Su Qingjue's words undoubtedly revealed an attitude to them.
That is, he didn't care that these people had served as officials in the old dynasty. As long as they were capable, they could continue to stay.
Thinking of this, the ministers were extremely excited.
Who would be willing to leave if they can continue to be an official?
As for the question of ability...
All of them had followed Zhu Wen to conquer the world. Although they did not dare to be compared with Xiao He, Han Xin and Zhang Liang, they also believed that they were not incompetent.
Therefore, all the ministers were very confident that they could stay and continue to serve as officials in the new dynasty.
Ignoring the restless ministers below the stage, Su Qingjue continued:
"Secondly, no matter how much money you have embezzled in Daliang, as long as you hand it over obediently, I will forgive you all the past!"
"Otherwise, your property will be confiscated at best, or your entire clan will be exterminated at worst!!"
What! ! !
Upon hearing that their entire clan might be exterminated, all the ministers were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
The entire palace hall fell into silence in an instant.
This is really revealing the real purpose!
General, your map of Yan State is a bit short!
You just get a sweet treat in front, but then you get stabbed in the back.
If you can be an official in Daliang, you must be greedy.
It sounds outrageous, but the truth is simple.
Everyone is greedy, why are you the only one who is not greedy? Why do you want to be the enemy of everyone?
In this environment, no one present is clean.
If Su Qingjue was more ruthless and raided these people's homes, the money he seized would probably be enough for him to fight another large-scale battle.
The ministers looked at each other, knowing that under the current circumstances, if they didn't bow their heads, they would die.
This general is very different from Zhu Wen.
He doesn't seem to be confused by external things.
All the beauties and treasures they had presented to him in order to please him were returned.
"Your Highness, Wang Zhi is willing to return all the illegally acquired property. Please forgive me, General!"
Some ministers were quite smart and expressed their willingness to support Su Qingjue's policies on the spot.
Su Qingjue nodded and said, "Very good."
Someone took the lead and got the approval of Su Qingjue, and other ministers also stood up to express their support.
"Third, I may not care about the crimes you committed in the past, but if you dare to commit them again in the future, I will punish you twice as severely."
"For this reason, I want you to supervise each other. If you find someone daring to cross the line, report him and he will be rewarded handsomely!"
"Okay, that's all for today."
After saying that, Su Qingjue turned and left.
The officials bowed and said, "Farewell, General."
"..."
Outside the imperial city.
A group of old ministers gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Do you really want to hand over all your property?"
"Haha, what? You dare not hand it over? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? Your family members are all in the city, aren't you afraid of getting them into trouble?"
"Why waste so much time talking to him? If he doesn't want to hand it over, then don't hand it over. Wait a few days and go to the execution ground to watch him lose his head."
"What are you talking about? I didn't say I wouldn't hand it over, but... I'm a little unwilling. This general is really... cold-faced and heartless!"
"How dare you! The general is a holy ruler, how dare you insult him! Tomorrow, I will report this to the general and ask him to punish you for your disrespect!"
"You are really going too far. No matter how nice your words are, they can't cover up your past crimes of corruption! In the second year of Qianhua, the Yellow River burst its banks, and you ate up all the relief funds sent by the court, causing countless deaths and injuries to the victims downstream!"
"You are not much better. As the Minister of Personnel, you dare to sell official positions and titles in order to make a lot of money..."
"Alright! Stop arguing. As all of us are old Liang subjects, we should stick together for warmth instead of killing each other!"
"Humph!"
The minister who wanted to report to Su Qingjue snorted coldly and said, "Although I was a treacherous minister in Daliang, it was also because Zhu Wen was licentious and immoral. If I were to assist the general, I would definitely become a model of a virtuous minister!"
"Pooh!"
The minister who had a verbal conflict with him had a look of contempt on his face. He made a "Pooh" sound with great disdain, and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground as if he was spitting out a piece of stinky dog shit.
Although the other ministers did not say it explicitly, they were also quite dissatisfied with that man in their hearts.
"..."
The internal strife among these people was actually within Su Qingjue's expectations.
His actions today were intentional.
He used a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, using both kindness and severity, and then used benefits to alienate them.
After some time, select a few people to talk to individually and reward them with some money and goods.
After this operation, these people could no longer make any waves and could only work for him honestly.
of course.
He did this not to give these ministers the opportunity to continue serving in their official positions.
The core purpose is still to maintain stability.
Although Daliang is gone, the problem remains.
There is still room for these ministers to be utilized to a certain extent.
If their crimes were to be brought to justice now, the government affairs of all departments would be paralyzed instantly.
This is not conducive to his governance of the country as a whole.
Everything has a process.
Even if he wanted to gradually replace those old Liang ministers with his own people, he needed to do it step by step.
First let the ministers under your command gradually become familiar with various government affairs. When they are able to take charge on their own, it will not be too late to replace the old ministers.
"..."
After meeting with the ministers of the Old Liang Dynasty, Su Qingjue came to the dungeon under the imperial palace.
Jing Xinmo and Shi Yao have been waiting for a long time.
When the two saw Su Qingjue, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, General."
Su Qingjue nodded, then asked Shi Yao:
"How is Zhong Xiaokui's injury?"
Shi Yao smiled and said, "It's okay now, but she doesn't seem to want to stay..."
"Where's Li Cunxiao?"
"Will he submit to me?"
Mirror Heart Demon said: "Reporting to the general, Li Cunxiao knows that we killed his second brother, so he holds a grudge and is unwilling to surrender."
"Take me to them."
