Chapter 15 Establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (3,000 words) "That's more than a hundred people."
When he said this, Wei Shuyu's voice was trembling, although he had always been by Li Zhen's side, but because he was a civilian, he had never been on the battlefield, let alone seen a dead person, not to mention that this was more than a hundred lives, and now he had to be killed?
You must know that even the corruption incident that Li Zhen dealt with back then only killed more than 130 people, which has already shocked the entire government and the opposition - counting the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time that such a large-scale massacre of officials has occurred, although there have been examples of beheading criminal officials before, but at most there are only three or five people, where will there be more than 100 at one time?
At that time, when this news reached Chang'an, Li Zhen was greeted by the verbal criticism of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the people who had a good impression of Li Zhen on weekdays were quite complaining, and even the people were frightened, so that Li Zhen's chamber of commerce income that month was much less than before.
Through this incident, Li Zhen's murderous nature also made many officials feel cold - it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only ruthless to outsiders, but also not soft on his own people.
Especially when I think that my butt is not clean, there may be such a day in the future, which makes some people feel even more frightened.
What's more, the Chinese court has always paid attention to the law and does not blame the public, at most it is only to punish the first evil, but Li Zhen is a pot, as long as it is enough to commit a capital crime, then they will all be killed, and will not be tolerated, such a ruthless and ruthless approach is simply challenging the unspoken rules of officialdom, even at the highest level, Li Zhen's most staunch supporters are quite critical of this, and they are shocked by Li Zhen's methods, and some people even wrote to reprimand Li Zhen.
Although in the end, Li Shimin mobilized all the newspapers of the entire Tang Dynasty to wash the ground for Li Zhen, put the facts and reason, and finally reluctantly cleared the matter in the government, the opposition and the people, but Li Zhen's reputation for killing has been left - this reputation is good and bad, it may be a good reputation for a general who kills on the battlefield, but it is a deadly poison for a prince.
After all, no one wants their monarch to be a cruel murderer, right?
For a while, Li Zhen's support rate dropped sharply, if he wasn't too strong, even if his reputation was ruined, he didn't give others a chance at all, but I am afraid that this time will be enough for some people to see the opportunity and challenge Li Zhen's status.
But on the other hand, this incident also shows Li Zhen's ruthless and decisive methods, and the reason for this incident is that someone has done something in the people's livelihood project, which aroused Li Zhen's murderous intentions, so it has also brought Li Zhen a good reputation of loving the people like a son - but Li Zhen is now in a good situation, his reputation among the people is already very good, and his ruthless and decisive methods have also been confirmed......
So in general, this time, Li Zhen still lost money.
Of course, Li Zhen doesn't think so, that's it.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuyu felt even more shocked - even Li Zhen, the crown prince, almost lost the position of crown prince, and now that this matter is in his own hands, can he still be okay?
If you really follow what Li Zhen said and kill everyone, what will your future be?
Do you still have a life to live?
I'm afraid that just the voice of the people's discussion will be enough to shatter one's bones.
"I'm afraid it's more than a hundred."
Wei Shuyu was still scared here, and Cheng Chuliang interjected faintly: "Didn't Li Mengling say it just now?"
It's not just the Quanzhou Mansion family that is involved in this matter, but eighty percent of the entire Lingnan Prefecture has people participating in this plan, plus the lofty status of the people behind the scenes - according to His Royal Highness's approach, they are afraid that they will not survive, right?
” "Goo-toot!"
Wei Shuyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and looked at Li Zhen pitifully, where is this reuse of him?
It's just going to send him to death - God knows what will greet him when he's done?
But even if Li Zhen can keep him from dying, but if he kills so many officials, he will be regarded as a public enemy by all officials, and he will be excluded from the core power circle, and he will not want to do anything in this life.
"Alright, don't mess around."
Li Zhen glanced at Cheng Chuliang angrily: "Is this palace that kind of person?"
These people only have a motive to commit a crime, but they have not yet carried it out, and even if they do find out anything, they will only be removed from their official positions at most, and it is simply impossible to kill them on a large scale - unless they are guilty of other capital crimes.
What's more, it is impossible for this palace to hand over all the power of disposal to Wei Shuyu, he has the right to remove officials at most, but it is impossible to kill people, what happened back then was a special matter, but now it is not possible, all crimes need to go through judicial procedures before punishment can be imposed. ” "Whew!"
Wei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't kill people, he could still bear the pressure brought by the removal of hundreds of officials.
At the same time, I shouted ashamed in my heart - no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to reuse himself, he is really too inferior, he has followed His Highness for so many years, and he has not figured out his character, and he still doubts him, I don't know what to do......
Li Zhen glanced at Wei Shuyu: "Okay, don't make a fuss, this matter will be left to you."
Later, the palace will write an appointment letter ordering you to be the director of the Lingnan Independent Commission Against Corruption, and all the personnel will be appointed by you.
However, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be a unit that has been established for a long time in the future, so you had better be careful when picking people and don't stuff everyone into it.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption has the right to call on troops with less than 100 troops, and more than 100 troops need to be reported.
The most important task of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is to investigate the corruption of all officials in Lingnan, and officials below the rank of Assassin can be removed from office on the spot once they are found guilty, and if there is a problem above the Assassin Rank, they can also be suspended on the spot, except for the military......
That is to say, you only have the right to inspect and the right to dispose of it temporarily, but you have no final right to dispose of it, let alone kill people......
With this name, you can be considered justified in investigating the case.
But you'd better not abuse this right, or the shrine will come back ......"
"Your Highness rest assured, if Your Highness comes back and finds that there is a trace of unjust, false and wrongful cases, without waiting for His Highness to be held accountable, his subordinates will come to see him himself."
Wei Shuyu assured loudly that the Independent Commission Against Corruption can supervise all officials up and down Lingnan, and can suspend all officials from their posts.
His Highness still believes in his ......
Wei Shuyu was very excited in his heart, this is simply a small imperial doctor, and the power is stronger than the imperial historian - after all, the imperial historian only has the right to inspect, and the director of integrity has the right to dispose of it in addition to supervision and inspection, although this right of disposal is restricted, but after all, it is also an invisible deterrent......
At the same time, Wei Shuyu was also moved by Li Zhen's belief in him so much, and swore in his heart that he would never live up to His Highness's trust, and he must do a good job and give Lingnan officialdom a big purge.
"Very good, then Hongu is waiting for your good news."
Li Zhen nodded slowly, although this Wei Shuyu is a little pedantic, and his talent is also very mediocre, far inferior to his father, but he has a good nature, although he is not as iron-headed as his father, but he is also iron-faced and selfless, fair, and is currently the most suitable candidate for the director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption under Li Zhen.

As for the lack of talent, Li Zhen is not worried, because the lack of talent is just an evaluation of Wei Shuyu a few years ago - he has been by his side all these years, counting five or six years, he has seen everything he has done over the years, after so many years of edification, he should be smoked even if he is smoked.
"Your Highness, after the matter is settled, you can follow the ministers to the banquet, right?"
Seeing that the matter was dealt with, Li Xuan came out and said with a smile, he was really happy at this time, because his biggest competitor was eliminated - although Li Mengling was nominally his assistant, but because of the unwritten rules of the imperial court before, the official position of the clan relatives was generally remote collar, and in fact, the power has always been in the hands of Changshi.
And Li Xuan came to Lingnan at about this time last year, that is to say, before Li Xuan, Quanzhou was actually run by Li Mengling.
After coming to Quanzhou, Li Xuan was suppressed several times, and was almost forced away by Li Mengling, and later although he gained a firm foothold in Quanzhou with his clan relatives and the relationship with Li Zhen, in fact, the most powerful person in Quanzhou was still Li Mengling.
Then the two started a struggle for a full year, although Li Xuan's power is not as good as Li Mengling's, but he is also a clan relative, Li Mengling didn't dare to really attack him, and the situation was so deadlocked......
It wasn't until Li Zhen appeared this time that Li Mengling was killed by thunderous means, and Li Xuan finally took off the shackles on his body and could let go of his hands and feet.
"Let's go."
Looking back at the construction site that had been stopped, Li Zhen turned around and left, there was no more business for him here, Wei Shuyu would deal with it - this is also Li Zhen's philosophy of employing people, suspicious people do not need to be suspicious, since it has been handed over to Wei Shuyu, Li Zhen will not interfere before he has gone wrong.
As for Li Xuan's careful thinking, Li Zhen will not be angry, although Li Xuan is a clan, but his ability is really good, and he is very responsible-since a small-scale earthquake occurred under his rule, he will personally sit in disaster relief, for which he has been eating and sleeping outside for half a month, just this is enough to prove that he really wants to be a good official.
To be honest, an old fritter like Li Mengling is actually not bad, although he is a little greedy, but he still has the ability - after all, he can develop Quanzhou into the scale of what he is today before Li Xuan's arrival, which is enough to see his ability, even if he is transferred back to Chang'an to be a waiter, Li Zhen even planned to reuse him.
But it's a pity that his greed eventually led him to the endless abyss - if he dares to do something about the people's livelihood project, Li Zhen will never spare him.
