There was a strange scene in the court.
The ministers lowered their heads and secretly checked each other's faces and reactions, but no one spoke.
It was so quiet that you could even hear breathing.
Officials who have problems themselves certainly don’t want to support the proposal to shut down broadcasting at this time.
The proposal to shut down broadcasting is to deal with their power.
Of course they are not stupid.
And those officials with reputation problems don’t want to express support at this time.
Expressing support will undoubtedly offend people. .
There was some silence in the main hall, and Zhao Ziliang said: "Why do you know that you are pretending to be deaf and dumb at this time?
If you don't express your position, I will have to put this matter aside again."
Lu Qi looked around and found that the ministers were all looking down at their toes, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
He rolled his eyes and said again: "Your Majesty, these problems are real. , even if the court turns a blind eye to it, it will not go away.
It is like a disease in a person's body.
If you ignore it, it may become more and more serious, or it may heal automatically.
However, the officialdom system of the court is different from the human body.
It does not self-healing ability, if we ignore it, the situation will get worse and worse.
This is an unavoidable problem.
The consequences of ignoring it will be self-destruction.
I risk my life to remonstrate, and immediately issue relevant decrees to rectify and correct the unhealthy trends in the officialdom, vigorously Combat this evil trend; streamline government agencies at all levels and eliminate redundant personnel; promote clean government, reduce financial expenditures, and save unnecessary expenses.
Here is a detailed statement, please read it, your Majesty."
An eunuch came over and took the memorial and placed it in front of Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang picked up the memorial and opened it to read.
Lu Qi, who was standing below, was not idle at this time.
He began to attack the ministers present.
The first unlucky minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Jing, was the first one.
"Master Zhao, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Nowadays, unhealthy trends and evil tendencies are prevalent in the officialdom.
Don't you, the Minister of Civil Affairs, have no responsibility at all?
Shouldn't you stand up and express your views and opinions?"
This was obviously something that offended someone.
Of course Zhao Jing didn't want to get into trouble, but when Lu Qi confronted him, Zhao Jing couldn't help but curse.
However, he had to answer because Lu Qi was the prime minister and had the right to ask him questions.
Responsible.
Zhao Jing just had to stand up and say with his hands: "Xiaoguan is indeed responsible for negligence and improper employment.
Mr.
Lu's proposal is exactly what Xiaguan has always wanted to write to the court and what the king said, but there is an unhealthy trend in the court.
The epidemic has not been popular for a day or two.
These people are huge and Xiaguan is weak and unable to compete.
Now, Xiang Lu is taking up the banner of opposing unhealthy trends and evil spirits.
Xianguan firmly supports Xiang Lu’s proposal."
Next, several more ministers of the court were named by Lu Qi.
These people were extremely cruel to Lu Qi, but they could not fall out with him in person or oppose his proposal, otherwise they would be suspected of being the protection of those unscrupulous officials.
Zhao Ziliang spent almost a quarter of an hour reading Lu Qi's memorial.
He knew very well about Lu Qi's ability.
Lu Qi simply did not have the ability to write the memorial so well.

He must have had a master ghostwrite the memorial.
Although the suggestions are written with great literary talent, they still appear to be rough.
It is impossible for a small master to write down such a major national policy, otherwise the master would not be a master, but a prime minister.
After reading the memorial, Zhao Ziliang coughed twice, and Lu Qi stopped making trouble and immediately stopped.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the civil and military officials and asked: "Guanbo, you were the first to propose rectifying corruption in the officialdom, streamlining government agencies at all levels, eliminating redundant personnel, reducing financial expenditures, and promoting clean government.
What is your attitude?
" Guan Bo stood up and bowed with his hands raised and said: "Your Majesty, it was Wei Chen who first raised this matter.
Of course Wei Chen was the first to support and approve of it.
I thought that this matter did not need to be discussed in the court.
Your Majesty, you can Just issue an edict and implement it directly.”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Even if I want to issue an edict and implement it, I must have a specific and appropriate strategy and make preparations before implementation.
Where is Li Mi, the chief regent of the Regent's Palace?"
Li Mi was not an official official of the imperial court.
He had no rank or establishment in the imperial bureaucracy and was generally not allowed to appear in the court.
Zhao Ziliang obviously had a purpose in bringing Li Mi here this time.
Li Mi stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."
Zhao Ziliang said: "You have been assisting Gu in handling military and political affairs in the Regent's Palace for more than ten years.
You are conscientious, hard-working, talented, and have outstanding political achievements.
You are an experienced official and have served the emperors of four dynasties.
You are quite prestigious in the court and the public.
Now the court is the right one."
When the time comes to employ people, you should be transferred from the Regent's Palace to serve as prime minister, and I will appoint you as Minister Zuopushe, Minister of War, and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi."
"Your Majesty, Li Mi, would like to thank you for your kindness."
All the ministers and generals in the court looked at Li Mi with expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Originally, there was no such thing as him in the court, but now he became the prime minister directly as soon as he came out of the Regent's Palace.
Is this him from the Regent's Palace?
It's too high.
Even if the leader's secretary wants to be an official, he must first be sent to the local government for a few years to train.
It's better for him, he doesn't even need to be sent to the local government for training, and he becomes a second-grade official directly.
At this time, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Tian Jingji stood up and said loudly: "I think this move is inappropriate.
The imperial court has never had such a precedent.
I would like to ask which of the ministers and colleagues present have not experienced many years of serving as local officials before being transferred to the imperial court."
During the period, he continued to experience and experience the heavy officialdom.
An ordinary person's official career is like walking on a single-plank bridge among thousands of troops.
Why did Mr.
Li, who had been a minor official in the Regent's Palace for more than ten years, become the prime minister?
I don't agree, please take back your order and follow the rules.
When appointing and removing officials, it is better not to act willfully."
All the ministers were shocked by Tian Jingsi's performance, and they all thought that this guy had made a mistake today, how could he say such harsh words, veto the regent's will in person, and also appoint and remove personnel. , this is a fatal matter Sure enough, Zhao Ziliang's face was wrong.
Before Zhao Ziliang could get angry, the right-hand doctor Lu Mai stood up and pointed at Tian Jingsi and yelled: "Tian Jingsi, you are so bold.
As a minister, how can you talk to the king like this?
He has always appointed ministers, officials and generals." by the regent Qian Gang is arbitrary.
As the Yushi Zhongcheng, you can question it, but you have no right to veto it face to face.
You are committing the following sins again.
You have been the Yushi Zhongcheng for many years.

Evil practices are prevalent in the imperial court and local government offices at all levels.
You obviously He is guilty of negligence and dereliction of duty.”
After scolding Tian Jingsi, Lu Mai turned to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, Tian Jingsi has done nothing in the Yushitai for so many years, turning a blind eye to the unhealthy trends in the officialdom and among the people, and today he questioned your Majesty's regent in person.
I ask your Majesty to punish him for his negligence, dereliction of duty and the following crimes."
In the Tang Dynasty, there were four officials on the left and four on the right to advise the officials.
They were under the fourth rank and belonged to Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province.
Lu Mai is the Right Admonition Officer.
In many dynasties, the Admonition Officer was an almost useless official position.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Admonition Officer could reject obviously unreasonable edicts.
Wei Zheng was once the Admonition Officer.
Since all the admonishing officials had no objections to Zhao Ziliang’s appointment and dismissal edict, how could other officials and ministers have objections?
Zhao Ziliang slapped the imperial case fiercely and said angrily: "Come here, remove Tian Jingsi from his official position, take off his official hat and official title, throw him into a prison, and wait for his fate."
Two armored imperial guards strode in outside the palace and dragged the pale-faced Tian Jingsi outside.
Tian Jingsi was as limp as mud and was too frightened to speak.
The officials, generals and ministers present were all startled and wanted to Knowing that Zhao Ziliang has never been so angry in the court, even if he wants to punish the ministers, he has never appeared in the court, and this is the first time.
It can be seen that Tian Jingsi has touched his bottom line.
All the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Zhao Ziliang had a serious face, as if frost was about to form on his face.
The ministers were trembling and did not dare to breathe loudly.
He focused his eyes on Lu Mai, thought for a moment, and reached out to wave to Xuan Shiba, who was standing not far away.
Zhao Ziliang whispered an order in his ear.
After hearing this, Xuan Shiba clasped his fists in agreement and then retreated to his original position.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kneeling in the main hall, picked up Lu Qi's memorial and read it again, and said: "Lu Qi, although your writing style of this memorial is good, it always feels a bit messy and does not say anything.
Where is Li Mi at all?"
Li Mi agreed: "I am here."
"Take this memorial and look at it, help Lu Xiang polish it, and then show it to Gu when it's finished."
"Follow the decree" Zhao Ziliang then told the ministers: "As for the prime minister and Guanbo's agenda of rectifying unhealthy tendencies in the officialdom, streamlining the court and government agencies, reducing financial expenditures, and promoting clean government, I have decided to adopt them, but the specific implementation methods still need to be implemented.
After careful consideration, although Lu Xiang's memorial was well written, I still want to hear if you have any better ideas on this matter.
If so, please write a memorial.
If you don’t have anything else to do, just leave the court.”
As a "retreat from the court" was shouted from the eunuch's mouth, Zhao Ziliang stood up and left.
The ministers shouted to see the king off.
Not long after Zhao Ziliang returned to the Regent's Palace, Xuan Shiba walked into the lobby with a file and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought Lu Mai's resume file."
After Zhao Ziliang took it, he opened it and saw that it was recorded that Lu Mai respected his teachers since he was a child, was friendly to his companions, was honest and loyal, was strict in his responsibilities but lenient in his responsibilities, and was highly praised by people at the time.
He has successively held the positions of Lieutenant of Lantian, Chief Registrar of Henan, School Manager of Jixian Hall, Governor of Chuzhou, and Youjianyi doctor.
His comments say that he is loyal to the public and disciplined, does not seek personal gain, is magnanimous, treats others with humility, has an upright style, and does not form cliques.
You must know that this resume file is not a record of the relevant yamen of the imperial court, but was recorded by Xichang after investigation.
The above comments were also written by the Xichang secret agent responsible for the investigation, which is a very fair and impartial evaluation.
But when Zhao Ziliang's eyes fell on Lu Mai's kinship column, he was stunned.
It turned out that Lu Mai and Cui Youfu were nephews, and Cui Youfu was Lu Mai's uncle.
You must know that Cui Youfu was Li Shi's diehard back then.
After Li Shi's death, Cui Youfu also plotted to help Li Yu regain the imperial power, but was defeated and killed.
Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to reuse Lu Mai, but in view of Lu Mai's relationship with Cui Youfu, he hesitated.
Zhao Ting saw him nearby and asked, "Father, why are you so hesitant?"
Zhao Ziliang handed the file to him.

Zhao Ting took it and read it, then raised his head and said: "My father is worried about his relationship with Cui Youfu, so I can't trust him.
My son thinks that in fact, my father doesn't have to hesitate.
Is it possible that he is afraid once?"
Do you have to be afraid of well ropes for ten years if you are bitten by a snake?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded, thinking that he was getting more and more timid, and immediately issued an order: "Appoint Lu Mai as Yushi Zhongcheng."
The Yushi Zhongcheng was also under the fourth rank of the official.
The transfer from the right to admonish the doctor to the Yushi Zhongcheng was equivalent to an equal transfer, but the power was very different.
Especially when Zhao Ziliang was in power, the functions and authority of the Yushidai were brought into full play.
In general, it was not In the case of permanent imperial ministers, two censors and Zhongcheng were in charge of the affairs of the censorship station.
Now there is only one censorship and Zhongcheng, Lu Mai, which has great power.
However, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Zhao Ziliang transferred Lu Mai to be the censor Zhongcheng, obviously not to let him enjoy the blessings:
