Mr. Yan sat there and thought for a long time. What President Gao and Lao Zhang meant was that His Majesty did not want those who should leave and those who should be arrested?

But this is not Your Majesty’s style of doing things. Whether Your Majesty is in Jizhou, Yuzhou, or later in Jiangnan, when is it not the rule of the sanctions?

When the word "Duan" appeared in Mr. Yan's mind, a light seemed to illuminate at the same time.

Then, a cold line emerged from the spine, walking upwards from the spine, and suddenly penetrated into the back of the head.

As soon as the coldness came out, I felt sweaty after a moment.

Yes, what Your Majesty wants is not to drive away those who should be driven away, those who should be locked up...

Seeing Mr. Yan like this, President Gao smiled and said, "It seems that he has realized it."

Mr. Yan nodded, and for a moment, his face had not recovered.

The word "Duan" was still spinning back and forth in his mind, as if it turned into a sound, echoing in his mind.

"You have also assisted in handling the government affairs before."

While drawing the wooden cart, President Gao said in a plain tone: "Of course you also know that the most memorable memorials on the Censorate recently were not the ones who participated in Xu Ji."

Mr. Yan nodded: "Yes..."

President Gao said: "I went to the palace yesterday and saw Your Majesty. The table in His Majesty's study is so high..."

President Gao gestured for a while and continued, "The stack of memorials of this tall were delivered from the local area, and these memorials were handed over by the branch offices of the Tingwei Mansions in various places..."

President Gao looked at Mr. Yan: "Do you think this is terrible or Xu Ji's terrible?"

Mr. Yan felt that there was more cold sweat on his back.

After His Majesty returned from his personal expedition to the Northern Frontier, more memorials have emerged in various places, especially the branch offices of the Tingwei Mansion.

Most of the memorials are basically the same, and they are all about the same thing.

That is the meritorious minister.

When Daning was first established, a large part of the officials assigned to the local government were meritorious ministers who followed His Majesty in the past few years.

Some were appointed as the prefecture, while others had higher positions. Some people with military positions in the school were appointed as chief officials of a county when they arrived at the local level.

Although in terms of official positions, the magistrate is the sixth rank, and the local county magistrate is the seventh rank, which is still a downgrade, but in fact, the real power is in control. The matters under the jurisdiction, the places under the jurisdiction, and the people under the jurisdiction are not the rights that a magistrate can have in the army.

These people with military merits began to have the same problem when they arrived at the local area, and a very big problem.

Be proud of your achievements.

They felt that they were killed in the sea of ​​swords and fires, and were the meritorious ministers who followed His Majesty to fight south and north.

When they were in the army, there were military regulations and the generals above were strict and they did not dare to act rashly.

But once they get to the place, they all become domineering, even so domineering that they don’t even care about the law.

If this is just a matter of one person and two people, it is just a matter of dealing with it according to the law of Daning.

Not so, there are too many such people, from county magistrates to prefectures and even to high positions almost equivalent to the governor.

What do you ask His Majesty to do this?

If you really follow the Daning law and make a clear example, you are afraid that you will suddenly feel cold.

It is obvious that what they did is unreasonable, but once Your Majesty punishes meritorious ministers in this way, it seems that Your Majesty has unreasonable.

President Gao looked at Mr. Yan and said, "So, if you need to use a dictionary for such things, you can't use a dictionary for everyone, what should you do?"

He put down his brush and handed Mr. Yan a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty has asked the Tingwei Mansion to send people to inspect, and has arranged an extremely governor, all of whom are from the army. Not long after Liu Ge returned to Chang'an, he was sent out by Your Majesty."

President Gao said: "But the inspection of the Tingwei Mansion and the inspection of the imperial envoy, the inspection of the governor, is only a treatment for symptoms and cannot be cured."

Mr. Yan nodded: "The inspectors arrived, and they were honest and decent. The inspectors left, but they were the same as before."

President Gao said: "So this matter is really not as rushing as you said."

Lao Zhang said to himself as if he was talking to himself: "At this time, small punishments and great commandments are useless. If it is a big punishment, it will ruin people's hearts again."

Mr. Yan now fully understands that His Majesty is really difficult.

It was only when Daning wanted to change the administration of the previous dynasty and completely eliminate the remaining harms of the previous dynasty, that a group of meritorious ministers became the appearance of ministers of the previous dynasty.

If you are in a hurry, the military merits of those meritorious ministers are still in front of you, and everyone can see clearly.

The only way to do it a little later and follow the treatment method to treat symptoms first. When the time comes, then do this problem of treating the root cause.

And this book is Xu Ji.

To be precise, one of this book is Xu Ji.

President Gao looked at Mr. Yan and said, "When he entered the palace, His Majesty chatted with me for a long time. His Majesty said that it is not appropriate for anyone except Xu Ji to do this."

He asked, "Do you understand why Your Majesty said that?"

Mr. Yan shook his head, and did not immediately understand the profound meaning of this sentence. Why is it not suitable for others to do it? Only Xu Ji can do it.

President Gao sighed: "Although Your Majesty is your student, fortunately, Your Majesty didn't learn from you. You are the stubborn and upright fool in the academy at the time."

Mr. Yan smiled bitterly: "So the students have always said that I am not a great talent in governing the world."

President Gao smiled, then whispered towards the palace: "You are not, Xu Ji is yes."

Mr. Yan was stunned again, and he didn't understand this.

At the same time, Weiyang Palace and Donghunting Pavilion.

Li Chi sat behind the desk to review the memorials, and Xu Ji sat opposite him and sat carefully, and even adjusted his breathing to a gentleman.

To be honest, Xu Ji is definitely a role model for everyone to show how to show what a minister should be.

In private, did he form a clique for personal gain, and how serious is this clique for personal gain? I won’t talk about these things for the time being, just talk about how to be a minister and how to be a prime minister. No one is more suitable than him, and no one is better than him.

"I heard that you sleep very little every day?"

Li Chi put aside a reviewed memorial, picked up the gap between the next memorial, and asked Xu Ji.

Xu Ji quickly leaned over and said, "Although I slept a little less, I slept quite soundly, so I am not lacking in energy."

Li Chi said: "You are the prime minister of Daning. Although state affairs are important, your body is also important. You cannot get tired of your body because of doing state affairs."

He pointed to a small wooden box on the table: "This is the tonic medicinal material I asked Chen Yitang to send you, you can take it back."

Xu Ji quickly got up, lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chi waved his hand: "Sit down and talk, don't always kneel. The thing is the hand of Mr. Chen Ruzhan. You can replenish your body. Daning still needs to take care of it." Li Chi put down the pen in his hand and looked at Xu Ji and said, "You have read all the recent memorials. I want to ask you something."

A smart person like Xu Ji immediately guessed what His Majesty was going to ask.

He leaned over and replied: "There are some unruly things in the memorials from all over the country about the meritorious ministers assigned to the local area."

Li Chi said nodded and continued, "You are the prime minister, what do you think should be dealt with?"

Xu Ji had thought before that His Majesty would ask himself about this matter early and late, so he thought about how to deal with this matter early, but this matter is indeed not very good, and even he felt a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

Li Chi asked: "Is it hard to say?"

Xu Ji hurriedly said, "I don't mean this, I want to say... It's not difficult to do this. The difficulty lies in controlling a certain degree. If it is not this degree, it is not enough to shock. If it goes beyond this degree, it will make the people below resent..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ji looked at Li Chi: "Your Majesty, otherwise... I will leave Chang'an and go out for a walk?"

Li Chi picked up the red pen again, opened a memorial, and reviewed it while reading it.

"I think so too. They feel that they are meritorious officials and think that the great contributions of the world are worse than those of me to fight the country. I have arranged a lot of people in the past few days, but their status is not enough to suppress everyone."

Li Chi glanced at Xu Ji again: "You are the prime minister of Daning and the head of the ministers. When it comes to meritorious people, who can make more contributions than you?"

"So you can go out for a walk. If even the prime minister of Daning can't suppress them, I have to go around in person."

Xu Ji stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down again: "I obey the order, I... want to ask Your Majesty, can I kill a few people?"

Li Chi looked up at Xu Ji: "If this happens, you shouldn't ask me, you should ask Daning's law. This was jointly drafted by you, President Gao, Mr. Yan, and so many officials. It is a code that I have used seals. How should I do it? It is written in the code."

"I obey the order!"

Xu Ji kowtowed: "I understand."

Li Chi nodded and continued to review the memorials. He looked at the words on the memorial and said, "Before leaving the capital, she went to see the queen. She was also worried about your patrol. She personally selected the masters in the Tingwei Mansion. You still have to say goodbye to the queen."

Xu Ji leaned over and said, "I obey the order, I thank the Queen for her grace."

Li Chi smiled and said, "Go and pat your flattery in person, don't let me convey it. The smell of flattery in my turn is wrong."

Xu Ji also laughed and kowtowed again: "That minister has sued him."

Li Chi nodded: "Go... take care of yourself and bring this box with you... This time I go out is not a matter of three or two days, take care of myself."

"I remember."

After Xu Ji left, Li Chi looked up and then turned his gaze back to the memorial.

After a moment, Li Chi slowly let out a breath.

"I hope you can see it clearly. It would be a good thing if you can see it clearly."

With a self-discipline, Li Chi stood up and moved his arms, then shouted outside: "Ye Xiaoqian, go and call Zhang Tang."

Outside the door, Ye Xiaoqian leaned over and said, "I obey the order, I will send someone to invite Lord Zhang."

Li Chi walked to the window and looked outside, and breathed a long sigh again, as if he wanted to express some depression in his heart.
