When Chen Qinglong saw Wang Qi, he bowed respectfully and reported: "Your Majesty, all the news about Yang Xiong in Dongjun and the numerous crimes he committed have been verified. Please read it."
Wang Qi took the book, Qi Qi held a pile of books, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
Not one or two.
It¡¯s a pile.
The sheer number of cases involved is really shocking.
Wang Qi opened the letter and read it one by one. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. As many as thousands of people were killed when Yang Xiong was involved, whether directly or indirectly.
There are even countless people who have their families broken up and their lives lost because of these people. The entire Dongjun County was full of complaints because of Yang Xiong's harsh government, and countless people dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
"Yang Xiong, damn it."
Wang Qi¡¯s expression became increasingly cold.
He said in a deep voice: "Bring Yang Xiong in, I want to meet him and listen to what he has to say."
"Here!"
Chen Qinglong immediately notified him, and not long after, Yang Xiong was brought to the main hall. Yang Xiong knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "The criminal Yang Xiong, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Wang Qidao: "Yang Xiong, do you know your crime?"
Yang Xiong shouted: "Your Majesty, I acted in an extreme manner, and I am aware of my guilt. However, I admit that I was not wrong."
Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to hear it, why are you not wrong?"
Yang Xiong said: "Your Majesty, everything I have done is to develop the economy of Dongjun and make the local business prosperous. Whether it is mining, cement, river sand and other industries, they are among the best in Yanzhou. Our Dongjun The county pays the most taxes every year among all counties in Yanzhou. To put it bluntly, Dong County is the most developed."
At this moment, Yang Xiong was holding his neck while speaking.
He knew that he had killed countless people and even accepted bribes, so there was no need to say anything about it.
So, let¡¯s just talk about economic development.
?????????????????????????????
When it comes to tax payment, this is Yang Xiong¡¯s pride and his political achievements.
Wang Qi sneered: "Looking at the taxes you pay every month or even every year, it is indeed the most. But, don't you know where these come from? It's not a normal tax payment, but there is a problem."
"What's more, when the court evaluates an official, political performance is never the only criterion. Because political performance must be combined with the living standards of the people and the people's livelihood."
"The people under your rule in Dongjun, because of your exorbitant taxes and your indiscriminate governance, have made their lives difficult. Many people are even facing the threat of being kidnapped at any time to mine."
"The people's lives can only be scraped by. Safety is even more at stake. As a governor of Dongjun, what are you talking about about political achievements and taxes? All your taxes are deducted from these people, not from them. Sound development.¡±
"When you leave Dongjun, you don't leave behind a rich family, but a land full of chicken feathers."
"You are sophistry in front of me, do you think that I don't understand local governance? If under your rule, the people are well off and everyone praises you, I will have nothing to say. However, under your rule, even People's lives are difficult, so how can you talk about political achievements? If the people can't even live, how can you talk about political achievements?"
Wang Qi is even more murderous towards Yang Xiong.
Until now, I still don¡¯t want to repent, and I still look angry.
Yang Xiong frowned and shouted: "Your Majesty, they are just a group of untouchables. If these untouchables live a good life, they will rebel and cause chaos. Don't give too much to the local untouchables."
"When you give too much, these untouchables will take advantage of it and become a disaster. So now in Dongjun, it is enough for them to have enough food and clothing and survive."
¡°Asshole!¡±
Wang Qi gave a low drink.
His eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "You have never repented until now. Under the rule of Qi State, we have been committed to improving people's lives, developing people's livelihood, and allowing people to live a good life. But you talk about being untouchable. Indifferent to the life and death of the people, you are in vain as a parent official. You have failed to live up to the ardent hopes of the people."
Yang Xiong said: "But I have done meritorious service to the court. I have paid countless taxes."
Wang Qidao: "The court needs taxes, but it does not rely on officials to exploit the people. If you are still stubborn, you deserve death. Come here."
Give an order.
Then an attendant entered.
Wang Qi ordered: "Drag Yang Xiong down and execute him directly. The Yang family's house will be ransacked, and all the Yang family members will be exiled to Lingnan. The rest of the people involved in the case will be killed and exiled together."
"Here!"
The soldier agreed, held Yang Xiong up and walked out.
Yang Xiong is unwilling to give in. He still refuses to plead guilty, shouts that he is wronged, and believes that he is not wrong. Under such a premise, Wang Qi felt even more angry.
Officials like Yang Xiong have a huge impact on the local area.
Chen Qinglong stood below, but said nothing. He could feel the emperor's anger.
This time the emperor was furious.
Wang Qi ordered: "Come here and summon the cabinet members to discuss the matter."
The chamberlain went to deliver the order. Not long after, Zhu Shanchang, Lan Yu, Yuan Cang and others entered.
Everyone is a little scared inside.
Wang Qi returned to Chang'an before, and when he encountered Zhang Yannian, he apologized one after another. However, Wang Qi did not deal with it for the time being, and everything remained as usual. But now, everyone has heard that Chen Qinglong is back and knows that there is news.
They were all worried about Wang Qi's anger.
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "In the case of Zhang Yannian in Puyang County, Dongjun, I executed Yang Xiong and the other people involved in the case, and ransacked their homes and sent them into exile. Do you have any objections to this matter?"
Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The rest of the people spoke one after another.
No one has any objections.
Yang Xiong¡¯s problem is very serious. Wang Qi did not punish them severely, which is already the biggest gift.
Wang Qi continued: "The matter reported by Zhang Yannian has been investigated. How should Zhang Yannian be placed here?"
Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yannian is an upright man and fulfills his duties. This person is capable. I suggest that Zhang Yannian be promoted to be the prefect of Dongjun to rectify Dongjun. On the one hand, he is capable. On the other hand, he is familiar with Dongjun. The situation in the county. Let him rectify the situation in Dongjun. He is the most suitable candidate. "
Lan Yu said: "I second the proposal."
Yuan Cang and others also expressed their opinions and recognized Zhang Yannian's appointment at the local level. After all, Zhang Yannian had been the county magistrate before and had considerable political achievements. After suffering such great suffering, it is now barely feasible to compensate him and directly promote him to be the governor of Dongjun.
Wang Qi nodded and said: "Since you all agree, let's arrange it this way. In addition, Yang Xiong's matter will be published in newspapers and distributed nationwide. Let everyone know the consequences of Yang Xiong. Learn from past mistakes and draw lessons from it. The imperial court does not need such people, What is needed are virtuous and capable people.¡±
Zhu Shanchang said: "I will make arrangements later."
Wang Qidao: "No follow-up, it will be published in tomorrow's newspaper."
"Here!"
Zhu Shanchang answered directly.
After a pause, Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, I dare to report. The territory of Qi State is far away from the east, west, south and north. If it were not for the existence of trains and the speed of travel, it would be extremely difficult to control such a vast territory. . It is even more difficult to govern the country of Qi. I sincerely request your majesty to postpone the military offensive and go all out to rectify the country."
"Your Majesty's martial arts skills far exceed those of all previous kings. He is the best in the world and the best among all kings."
"At the moment, the court is promoting sweet potatoes, potatoes and other foods, so the people don't have to worry about food. However, the issue of officialdom cannot be solved overnight, so I suggest that your majesty put the country in order."
Zhu Shanchang stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Every generation has its own affairs. If your Majesty has done all the things, what will the descendants do? I beg your Majesty to postpone the war. I have the courage to speak out, and I beg your Majesty to convict you."
Lan Yu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Yuan Cang and others also followed suit.
This is something that everyone in the cabinet has already agreed on. Because before, they all believed that the country was too big and the emperor needed to be in charge. If there is no emperor in charge for a long time, it is easy to cause problems.
After Wang Qi heard this, he lowered his eyes and thought carefully.
There was no immediate answer. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
