The nature of the rebellion was very serious, and the consequences were also very serious.
However, Zhao Ziliang did not put all his thoughts and attention on this matter.
Military and political affairs and judicial aspects were also his focus.
In addition, there were also the prosperous economic situation.
After the reform of the officialdom system ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty has now formed a set of fixed patterns.
With the complete finalization of this model, the entire officialdom of the Tang Dynasty has been operating according to this model, but any institutional form is different.
It is not perfect.
Even if it was perfect at the beginning, after a period of operation, certain changes will inevitably occur, causing this model to start to go off the road, and even have disadvantages that are not in line with the development of the times.
Zhao Ziliang looked at a memorial, which contained the various items of administrative expenditure and the total financial expenditure of the Tang Dynasty over the years.
After reading, Zhao Ziliang looked up at Jiang Shan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and asked: "Since the reform of the official system ten years ago, the court's administrative expenditures have been greatly reduced.
However, in the past five or six years, the total administrative and financial expenditures on rent have begun to increase every year.
The sharp rise, Jiang Shan, can you tell me what is the reason?"
Jiang Shan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Returning to your Majesty, officials sent by Weichen have done some investigations in the past two years.
In summary, there are many reasons: First, social stability, people's living standards have improved, and prices have also risen.
The salaries and salaries of government officials also increased, which greatly increased the court's financial expenditure.
Secondly, governments at all levels gradually increased the number of administrative officials.
Old officials had not had time to retire and new officials were recruited.
It has increased again, causing the number of officials to become larger and larger, which also increases financial expenditures.
Furthermore, some people in governments at all levels increase financial expenditure budgets under various names.
Because local governments have local taxes that can be used by themselves, they all have Small treasury, they collect local taxes but do not use it to improve people's livelihood, build public buildings to benefit the people, use it privately for their own enjoyment, and make false accounts when doing accounting to deceive the superiors' inspections."
"Huh, in just ten years, there have been so many problems in the government.
It seems that our government is not thorough and has not persisted for a long time.
I still underestimated the greed and selfishness of the people.
As the days of the people get worse, Things are getting better and better, and there are more and more problems in the officialdom.
Why is there so much oil and water?
In the past, the common people had no money, and those corrupt officials had to pluck a layer of skin from them.
Now that the common people are rich, how can the corrupt officials?
Can bear it” Zhao Ziliang's actions made every civil and military official in the Tang Dynasty tremble with fear.
What is this going to do?
Is there another anti-corruption campaign?
Is a new round of officialdom storm coming?
Zhao Ziliang's face was tense, which made him look even more majestic when he sat on the throne.
The ministers below did not dare to express their anger.
It seemed that there was an incomparable pressure coming from the person on the throne.
"My lords, a country is actually the same as a person.
No matter whether it has foreign enemies or not, it must always take care of itself.
Only by treating illnesses, taking care of illnesses, strengthening the body, and building a strong body can it be healthy.
Only when you have enough strength and energy to work can you have an active mind.
Now there are no forces around Datang.
We have a strong enemy.
At this time, it is the best time for us in the Tang Dynasty to treat the disease and regulate ourselves.
If a strong enemy appears in the future, we will find that we are seriously ill.
When we want to fight a strong enemy, our body is already strong.
We can’t stand it any longer.
Our ancestors have always warned us to take precautions before they happen, to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and to keep the alarm bell ringing.

Ah, you are all important officials of the imperial court and pillars of the country, not just people in the market.
Your thoughts and ideas cannot always be the thoughts of people in the market.
You should think and deal with problems from a new height, and don’t always think about yourself. , family, we must consider issues at the level of the court and the country, and we can be alone here.
I would like to responsibly tell the Qing family that since ancient times, those who are too selfish and have too strong family values will never achieve much, because their own ideas and ideological realm limit their future achievements.
Only those who always have the world and all people in mind will never end on the road to success."
"History may bury some truths, but as long as you have done something that is beneficial to the people of the world and promoted the historical process, history will definitely remember it.
Even if there is no record in the history books, the people will still praise Shang Yang's reforms that made Qin strong and ranked among the countries.
Crown, the First Emperor unified the world by ending centuries of disputes among the Seven Kingdoms As a generation of emperors, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others were remembered in history for assisting Liu Bang in creating the 400-year-old Han Dynasty.
Wei Qinghuo Qubing became a generation of famous generals because of his fame in Mobei.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism and the Northern Expedition.
The Xiongnu became an emperor throughout the ages, and Zhang Tang became famous for saying that anyone who offends a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away he is.
The annals of history, don’t talk too far away, just talk about this dynasty, how many capable ministers and good generals’ life stories have been praised by the people of the world.
These people may not be able to escape the shackles of selfishness and family barriers, but each of them definitely puts the world first. , otherwise it would never be possible to do such earth-shattering things.
Official position does not mean success.
Just, no matter how high your official position is, you are still sitting in the dead position and have never done anything meaningful.
After death, you will only be left with a handful of loess and nothing will be left.
Isn't this sad?
Compared to other people , your chances of achieving great achievements are much greater, but it would be a pity if you gave up in vain."
Even the most slick and sophisticated among the ministers couldn't help but be moved after hearing Zhao Ziliang's admonishment.
Many people sighed in their hearts that they had spent the past half of their lives in a dog's belly.
The court was quiet for a long time, and finally a minister stood up.
When the ministers saw it, it was Zhongshu Minister, Tong Pingzhang Guanbo.
After Guan Yu, the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty, Guanbo successively served as Huainan Jiedu officer, Wei Zuo judge, Youbu Que, Henan Prefecture Bingcao, Huainan Jiedu judge, Chuzhou governor, Du official wailang, military official wailang, Hezhong Shaoyin, and Gaizhou governor.
In Shizhong, he holds the positions of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs, and Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Just listen to Guan Bo bowing to Zhao Ziliang and saying: "Your Majesty, I think that since there is a problem, I must actively find out the problem and find a solution.
Now the yamen of the imperial court and the local government officials at all levels are overstaffed and overstaffed.
If the official establishment is used and nothing can be done, it is better to abolish it once and leave only those who have political achievements, talents, willingness to do things, and can do things.
This is one; second, new establishments are established at all levels of administrative levels.
A yamen that specializes in interrogating Accounting for the financial budgets, expenditures, tax revenue, and other expenses of government offices at all levels; thirdly, by the imperial court order, all government offices and local governments at all levels are strictly prohibited from using public funds to eat, drink and entertain guests, and it is strictly prohibited to use public funds for private enjoyment Pay the bills, investigate and deal with each case, and never tolerate it.
In such major matters involving official character and character, we must always be serious.
The yamen and officials responsible for supervision cannot turn a blind eye, otherwise they will be held accountable.
Responsibilities of Supervisory Officials” The ministers looked at Guanbo in great surprise, and they were very confused.
Guanbo had always been gentle and kind in the position of prime minister.
He was a Confucian, why did he suddenly change his temper today?
He was also recommended by Lu Qi to be the prime minister.
Now There were only two prime ministers in the court, one was Lu Qi and the other was Guan Bo.
Lu Qi was always jealous of the wise.
Yes, since he became prime minister, he has intensified his efforts and often suppressed those who opposed his opinions.
However, Gao Shang and others who have been presiding over affairs in the Regent's Palace trust him more, so he can sit firmly in the position of prime minister, and Guanbo did The prime minister has always followed Lu Qiyan's advice, but now Guanbo has completely changed:
