Chapter 1008: The Policy of Peace of Mind
Luo Zhaoyun took advantage of the situation and Long Yan was furious. His aura became harsh in an instant. In addition, he was born in a military force and had the murderous aura and majesty of the army. The air in the hall instantly subsided.
These civil and military ministers all felt chills and had tense nerves. This was the first time they saw the current emperor, and they were so angry!
I always thought that he had the aura of a military force and a kindness of a benevolent king in the past, and I rarely got angry because I had never seen him lead the army personally, and his courage in killing was only heard of, so I never experienced how this prime king had power and courage!
At this time, the hall was shocked. Even some clans who wanted to make some trouble were honest and did not easily touch their eyebrows.
At this time, Luo Zhaoyun continued: "The evidence inside is conclusive. Hundreds of refugees wrote a letter to sue Huayin County Magistrate Pei Chang, who embezzled river workers' money, built luxury houses, supported singing girls, and neglected their duties. The rainfall in this year's rainy season exceeded that of previous years. As a local parent official, he did not care about the safety of the people. He ignored the dams of the Yellow River and the Wei River, and did not build river canals and strengthen the dams according to the regulations of the court, which led to the collapse of the Wei River and the Yellow River. The dams of the river collapsed and hundreds of miles of fields and villages suffered disasters. It is really unforgivable."
Fang Xuanling, the minister of Dali Temple, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the evidence is true, I suggest that you immediately issue an edict to dismiss Huayin County Magistrate Pei Chang, transfer it to Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice will jointly try this case of corruption and dereliction of duty."
Xin Gongyi, Minister of Justice, also stood up and bowed: "I also agree with the words of the Dali Temple Minister. Please allow Your Majesty to investigate the Huayin County Magistrate who is in trouble with the country and the people."
"Yes, what the Minister of Dali Temple and Shangshu Xin said is extremely true. This person should be severely punished!"
"One county magistrate, so corrupt and greedy, will cause harm to the other side, and the house will be confiscated and beheaded."
At this moment, the ministers were angry. Whether it was the Hanlin Qingliu or the noble bureaucrats, they all felt that this was over-doing.
At this time, he expressed his opinions, and he was a little cautious about his feathers. He couldn't help but scold the corrupt officials to harm others. He firmly drew a clear line with Pei Chang and others, and hated him deeply.
"Liu Fu, the county magistrate of Fengyi County, was favored and abused the law, sheltered his brother-in-law, and concealed the flood in Fengyi County without reporting, resulting in the inability to rescue in time, causing large numbers of refugees to flee and suffer huge casualties. They are also responsible. They will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation and prosecution of Dali Temple." Luo Zhaoyun took this opportunity to make a final decision and set the matter down.
There were also noble officials in the court who had close ties with the Liu family in Hedong. At this time, the corners of their mouths moved and wanted to give advice. However, when they thought of the serious consequences of this matter, it was difficult to express their opinions rashly, so as not to get angry.
Luo Zhaoyun's move was just right, and he was the first to win the crowd, shocking the officials in the court, following his thoughts, and turning his eyes to Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji, saying, "The Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of Revenue, have any good disaster relief plans."
Gao Shilian stood up and said generously: "I feel that rescue is urgent and the most urgent thing is money. Liang is the first thing to do. First, the Ministry of Revenue needs to issue an edict, and the Ministry of Revenue allocates funds from the treasury, organizes manpower, purchases equipment, and repairs rivers. Second, it is immediately reduced to transfer grain and rice from Yongfeng Warehouse in Fengyi County to transport grain and rice to the disaster area to help the people. Third, the reconstruction of the home requires certain support for the local county and town fund allocation, and the county magistrate should be sent to take office to handle government affairs and water construction matters. In addition, the treatment of the victims along the way, the medical treatment of the sick people, and the treatment of the corpses in the disaster are all necessary."
When the people in the court heard this, they nodded, feeling that what the Minister of Revenue said was clear and appropriate in general terms.
"These points of Gao Shangshu are exactly the key points to disaster relief, I will discuss them!"
"I'm going to discuss it."
"Please issue an order immediately."
Luo Zhaoyun struck while the iron was hot and commented: "Yes, saving people is like putting out a fire, and it is impossible to delay. The Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately drafted a book of amnesty, which means it according to the words of Gao Shangshu just now, and then it is written and presented to me. If there is no problem, the provincial government will review and pass it, and there will be no delay."
Xiao Yu, the Huangmen Minister of Menxia Province, and Chu Suiliang, the inner historian of Menxia Province, bowed to show that he followed the sage metaphor.
"Where is Jingzhao Yin?"
A middle-aged figure emerged quickly as a civil servant, and the Jingzhao Yin Wang Gui stood up and bowed: "Minist Wang Gui, listen to the sage of Your Majesty."
Luo Zhaoyun looked at Wang Gui. This man was in his early forties, with a gentle temperament, and good character and ability in history. However, Luo Zhaoyun met him for a short time and was not completely familiar with him. He was not old relatives. However, after several contacts, he felt that he was well-behaved and honest, so he appointed this official position.
When Wang Gui was young, he was elegant and had a deep ambition, did not value fame and fortune, and never made friends casually. He was deeply praised by his uncle Wang Jun. In the 13th year of Kaihuang, Wang Gui was summoned by the court to introspectively and was awarded the title of Taichang Zhili Lang, and participated in the procedural and classics of books.?
In the fourth year of Renshou, Wang Xu followed King Yang Liang of Han to raise an army to oppose Emperor Yang of Sui and was killed. Wang Gui was the nephew of Wang Xu and should be held accountable according to the law. He was afraid of the court's accountability, so he simply abandoned his official position and fled to the Mount Zhongnan. He lived in seclusion for more than ten years, avoiding the disasters in troubled times.
?In the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan led his army to attack Guanzhong, supported the King of Dai Yang You as the emperor, and was appointed King of Tang, and his eldest son Li Jian became the crown prince. Wang Gui was recommended by Li Gang, the prime minister, and served as the consultant of the crown prince's office. Later, after Li Yuan became emperor, Wang Gui was appointed as the crown prince's middle-class servant, assisting Li Jiancheng. Because of his outstanding talent and noble character, he was highly valued by the crown prince.
However, later Li Tang was captured, and Wang Gui was bedridden during that period. He did not have time to retreat to Jinyang with the Li Tang court, but was activated by the new court. Last year, he was the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue and served as the dispatch of Jingzhao Yin at the end of the year.
"A large number of refugees poured into Chang'an City. As Jingzhao Yin and under the capital of Jingcheng, did not discover it in advance?"
"This is indeed my negligence, but there are many vacancies in Chang'an City. As the war has just ended, the capital is in and out every day, bankrupt, beggar, fugitive, and everything is everywhere. In addition, there are many migrant people in Chang'an City, and the guards entering the city gate have not been carefully interrogated. In addition, the different departments have their own subordinates, Jingzhao Mansion has not received similar reports, so the news is slower, please forgive me."
"The public security, household registration management, infrastructure construction of lifang, street renovation, etc. in the capital should be accelerated. In addition, people should be sent to randomly check and interrogate people entering and leaving at each city gate to form records, so that dynamic control of the capital will be effective. In addition, in addition to the household registration system, ID cards should also be issued with some personal information engraved on it as a symbol of identity." Luo Zhaoyun put forward some suggestions.
"I know that after I go back, I should improve it as soon as possible to strengthen the security management and construction and renovation projects in the capital."
"Then what are your plans for the refugees pouring into Chang'an City?"
Wang Gui pondered: "I will send someone to register the identity of refugees, confirm their household registration and origin, then set up relief points, distribute food in time, clean up the bodies, isolate patients with wind and cold, and ask some doctors to treat refugees, prevent and treat infectious diseases, and stabilize the situation."
Luo Zhaoyun nodded. After hearing these methods, they all worked and were considered to be appropriate. Just as he was about to comment a few times, he heard a guard outside the hall shouting: "Eight hundred miles of urgent reports came from Heyang County-"
