The suggestion of Guanbo made the scene in the court a bit strange.
The faces of the civil and military ministers varied.
Some looked melancholy, some had sullen faces, some glared at Guanbo, and some looked gloating. , Some people look like they are not concerned about the matter, and some people have expressions of shock and fear.
Everyone here has an emperor's expression.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the expressions on the faces of each minister with cold eyes, feeling neither happy nor sad.
At his position, after a long period of time, he would no longer be emotionally affected by any military and political affairs in the court.
Even if it was, then It’s also a pretense.
Zhao Ziliang's eyes stayed on Lu Qi's face and asked: "Master Lu, what do you think of Prime Minister Guan's proposal just now?"
Lu Qi was not very capable, and his abilities as prime minister were far from adequate.
The reason why Zhao Ziliang made him prime minister was mainly because he was obedient, unlike some ministers who were loyal and upright and did not know how to adapt.
In the past, there were actually many talented ministers in the court, but they all took a back seat because of their age, such as Yan Zhenqing, Li Kui and others.
Among the ministers who replaced these people, there were also many capable people, but none of them became prime ministers.
This was deliberately detained by Zhao Ziliang.
Of course, there were many reasons.
The main reason was that Zhao Ziliang needed someone to listen to him.
A considerable part of the malpractices that are beginning to appear in the officialdom of the DPRK are actually related to Lu Qi.
Ever since he became prime minister, Lu Qi has become a little complacent.
He secretly accepted bribes, used his power to seek huge profits, and increased administrative officials in disguise to obtain more administrative expenses, but he can only do the most and dare not do more Do it even bigger, because even if these crimes are found out, they will not lead to death, and they will not implicate their families.
However, if they cultivate party members, eradicate dissidents, and seek to usurp the throne, these are all crimes that lead to beheading, and some of them have to be executed.
Among the nine tribes, he didn't have the courage, because he knew very well that Zhao Ziliang would never tolerate this.
When Lu Qi saw Zhao Ziliang calling his name, his heart jumped wildly and he didn't dare to answer casually because he didn't know what Zhao Ziliang meant yet.
In his heart, Zhao Ziliang agreed or disagreed with the proposal to close the broadcast.
But he quickly remembered From what Zhao Ziliang said earlier, I immediately understood that Zhao Ziliang was expressing his disapproval of the current official style.
If you are dissatisfied, otherwise you won’t be able to focus on things like excessive financial expenditure, bloated government agencies, too many salary recipients, and people who really do things.
These things have happened in all dynasties, but the severity is different.
Zhao Ziliang obviously I am very dissatisfied with this situation, which shows that this level is very serious.
In addition, if he expresses opposition, wouldn't it mean that the bad habits and phenomena in the officialdom are related to him, or that he, the prime minister, is acting as a protective umbrella?
Thinking of this, Lu Qi stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Guan Xiang's proposal, but Wei Chen believes that this time we can't cut the mess as quickly as before, but we should take it slow."
"Oh why do you say that?"
Zhao Ziliang asked and picked up the tea cup on the table and drank.
Lu Qi said: "The king carried out reforms after the great chaos.
After the chaos subsided, he wanted to bring about great governance.
Although there were people who opposed the king, they were not many anymore.
In addition, the king used his unparalleled prestige to quell the war and restore the country to forcefully implement the official system.
No one dares to stop reform, but it is different now.
The current official system was established by the king himself.
If you rush for quick success, you will definitely destroy your foundation and give enemies who oppose the king's rule an opportunity.
Any ruling class in any dynasty can take advantage of it.
These unhealthy tendencies in official circles will appear in every period, but I believe that this unhealthy trend has not spread widely in our Tang Dynasty.
The vast majority of officials are still loyal and upright, and are loyal to and support the king.
Now if the king gradually investigates Missing and filling gaps , it only takes a few years to stop this evil trend, but if the medicine is too strong, it can easily cause unnecessary turmoil, and may also affect other people.
Only by quietly moistening things can the officialdom return to the right track.
It’s the safest way” Zhao Ziliang stroked his short beard and thought about Lu Qi's words.
He quickly made a decision and said, "In this case, the two Prime Ministers will write down their thoughts in a statement for Gu Gu to review.
If other Qing family members have ideas, they can also write a statement.

Chen, if he is adopted by Gu, he will surely be credited with a meritorious service."
All the ministers agreed in unison: "I will obey the decree."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the minutes of the court meeting again, raised his head and said, "There is another matter.
Wang Jiahe, the former general of the Hexi Province garrison, and Jia Rong, the supervisor, jointly imprisoned the deputy general, launched an army to launch a rebellion, and attacked Gu's imperial commander.
This case has not been resolved until now.
While the investigation was still ongoing, Wang Jiahe was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment after arriving in Chang'an.
The day after, they committed suicide by hitting a wall.
I heard that Jia Rong was also crazy.
If they wanted to commit suicide, there were plenty of opportunities on the way to Chang'an.
Why did such strange things happen as soon as they arrived in Chang'an?
The official responsible for investigating the case told Gu that there are various signs at present that There is a mastermind behind Wang Jia, and the power of this mastermind Extremely huge, otherwise they would not have disappeared after massacring the whole family of Wang Jia and Wang Jia.
Their families were also missing.
Where did the murderer take dozens of members of the family, if not for the huge protective umbrella?
, how could they not leave any clues?
The nature of this case is extremely It is serious and the impact is extremely bad.
It must be investigated to the end.
No matter who is involved, we will never tolerate if any of you know the clues about the conspiracy.
I hope you will actively come forward to provide clues to the officials handling the case.
If you know anything, If you don’t report it, once it is found out in the future, you will be charged with the same crime of rebelling against a thief.”
Zhao Ziliang's words shocked the courtiers.
Many people began to wonder, could it be that the king had already suspected certain people?
Is this to scare the snakes or to give them a chance of survival?
This court meeting was unusual.
It seemed that the whole court was going to hang on.
There was a bloody storm.
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he looked at Yushi Zhongcheng and said, "Umeda Matsutake, your Yushidai is responsible for supervising all officials.
How can you give me an explanation for such a serious rebellion happening this time?"
Umeda immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I know that I and Yushitai are guilty of negligence and ineffective supervision in this rebellion.
Please punish me, but I request to participate in the investigation of this case.
I will definitely At this time, we will find out the truth.”
"You, the Yushitai, should ignore this case.
You should think about how to correct this unhealthy trend in the officialdom.
You should not be able to shake the political situation, but also bring to justice those corrupt officials who do not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but only engage in evil practices.
"by law" "Yes, I obey your order."
Zhao Ziliang closed his eyes and meditated for a few moments, then opened them again and said, "Is Wang Ziyan here?"
"I'm here," Wang Ziyan stood up and agreed, clasping his fists.
He is Wang Rao's son.
He has been serving in the Imperial Army for many years and he is over forty years old this year.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Both Gu and your father served in Hexi back then.
You should go too.
Gu appointed you as the general of the Hexi Province garrison.
Lu Lun, a doctor from Hubu, was appointed as the supervisor of the Hexi Province garrison.
I hope you two can unite sincerely and work diligently."
Don’t slack off in training your troops and defending your territory.”
"I will obey the order" Zhao Ziliang believed that what happened on Hexi Road should be just an isolated phenomenon.

The mastermind of the rebellion had some energy, but it could not be so big that it was unimaginable.
Otherwise, they would have already taken action, and it would be impossible to send someone to assassinate him and attack with a large army.
There is also a killer organization from Qianjilou.
This organization is so rampant that they dare to assassinate him, the regent, without any scruples.
This is absolutely intolerable.
Such an organization must be eradicated and eradicated.
Xingbu Yamen.
After two days of investigation, the police took back from the Jinwuwei Yamen a list of all the dignitaries who passed through Wangjiamenqian Street on the night of the crime.
This list was recorded by the Jinwuwei patrol team that was in charge of patrolling that night.
There is one copy of such a record every day, and it must be kept for more than three months before being destroyed.
Guan Bao pondered the list in his hands.
The list contained detailed records of every dignitary's car that passed that street that night, including how many carriages, how many guardsmen, and how many horses. .
"If we say who is most likely to hide dozens of people on this list, it seems that his fleet is the only one.
His status is high enough and he has the most guards.
It does not seem to be very difficult to hide more than twenty Wang family members in it.
But is it really him?
This is a fatal matter.
You can't doubt him without evidence.
If the matter gets serious, it won't end well."
Guan Bao touched the long beard on his chin, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to have deepened.
He thought for a while, waved to the policeman standing not far away, and asked: "It stands to reason that the murderers were at Wang's house on the night of the incident."
He went on a killing spree with the Jia family, and the noise they made was definitely not small, and the street was not very long, so why didn't the patrolling Jinwu Guards hear the noise?"
The policeman clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it's like this.
There were several thefts in succession on that street that night.
It was quite noisy.
The attention of the patrol team's Jin Wuwei must have been attracted by the thefts."
"Oh" Guan Bao's brows jumped, "It seems there is something fishy indeed.
If this was carefully planned and arranged, then it is not surprising that the Wang family and Jia family were exterminated without anyone hearing anything.
However, the patrolling Jinwu Guards soldiers Although the theft attracted attention, there should still be people standing guard on the street."
"Yes, this record list was registered by the soldiers on guard.
Because there was a theft first, the people on guard were weak, and all the people passing by were the cars of dignitaries, so they only made a simple record, and Without a detailed inspection, this is what the Jinwu Guards soldiers who were on guard at the time said.
For this reason, the two guys were beaten with twenty military sticks by the superiors for dereliction of duty."
Guan Bao stood up and said: "There must be something wrong here.
The list is wrong.
If there is something wrong with all these people, pass on my order and gather people.
Let's go to each house to visit these dignitaries."
"Yes, my lord":
