Fu Xiaoguan's two imperial edicts were sent to Guanyun City at a speed of eight hundred miles.
When Zhongshu Sheng received these two imperial edicts, it was already the second day after Fu Xiaoguan left Siyang County for Heitan.
When Zhongshu Lingzhuo and his party saw these two imperial edicts, they immediately couldn't calm down.
"Master Nangong, Master Meng, take a look."
When these two imperial edicts were placed in front of the two adults, Meng Changping's face turned dark.
"Shame! What the hell! Come on, come on, call me Wen Siyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs!"
The dignified Emperor of the Wu Dynasty actually became a county magistrate in Siyang County in the Six Prefectures of Beixiao!
This is simply a slap in the face!
What does this mean?
It shows that their governance is unclear and they have no idea about the incompetence of the Siyang County magistrate!
Subordinates are incompetent, this is naturally their incompetence!
Meng Changping was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. The emperor became the county magistrate. This would probably become a big joke to the people of the Wu Dynasty!
Of course the common people would not laugh at the emperor, but they, the officials whom the emperor valued, would laugh.
Nangong Yiyu sighed leisurely and said, "I thought it was time to summon all the officials and hold a meeting in the Xuande Hall."
"This incident seems to have happened in Siyang County. But we have to understand these two decrees of His Majesty. For example, do such officials exist in other places in the Wu Dynasty? I think they do exist, but I'm afraid the number is still small. Not small."
"It is imperative to rectify the administration of officials! Don't wait for His Majesty to come back and let His Majesty initiate the rectification of the administration of officials. It will be meaningless for us to be officials."
When Zhuo Yixin heard this, he nodded in agreement, "Master Nangong's words are reasonable. If you look at a leopard, you can see the whole spot. What if Your Majesty goes to other states and counties and encounters such officials again, can we deserve His Majesty's trust?"
Meng Changping also nodded, "In that case, then summon all the officials to rectify the official administration! If the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel cannot handle this job... I personally proposed to terminate his official!"
The emergency meeting co-sponsored by the ministers, Zhongshu and Shangshu from the three provinces was opened in the Xuande Hall.
The ministers didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the dark faces of the three big guys sitting below, they knew something terrible might have happened.
Since the Xuande Hall was renovated, the emperor has hosted three more court meetings here in the first three months.
Then the emperor left Guanyun City, and no one knew where he went.
In the following days, the three big bosses also held several court meetings here to announce local policies for various places, but such a temporary gathering of all officials has never happened before.
Did something bad happen to His Majesty during his private visit incognito?
While the officials were guessing, Meng Changping spoke:
"Your Majesty is now the county magistrate of Siyang County in the Six Prefectures of Beixiao!"
This sentence immediately caused a stir,
"What? Your Majesty is the magistrate of Siyang County? What about the magistrate of Siyang County?"
"How unbecoming is this? He is the emperor, how can he be a county magistrate?"
"No words!" Meng Changping shouted, "Don't you think about why Your Majesty became a county magistrate?"
He looked angry and said through gritted teeth: "Shame! What a huge shame!"
"Bai Qiusheng, the magistrate of Siyang County, has governed Siyang County for four full years! But when His Majesty asked him about political affairs, he didn't know anything about it! I just want to ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wen Siyuan, how did you become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? How is the Ministry of Civil Affairs assessed every year? ”
Wen Siyuan's face turned green. He hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Sir, this, this..."
"What the hell, I think you don't know anything about it!"
"My lord, this official made an oversight." After saying this, Wen Siyuan turned to look at Duan Shuwen, the Minister of Civil Affairs sitting on top, "Servant Duan, you are responsible for the assessment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Now that something like this happens, Come down here!”
Duan Shuwen's face turned pale with fear. He walked down tremblingly and stood in front of Wen Siyuan dripping with cold sweat.
"You are now answering my official and official evaluation in front of the civil and military officials of the court. Are you just going through a formality?"
Duan Shuwen hurriedly replied: "Sir, Siyang County is too remote and there may have been omissions during last year's assessment."
"You're talking nonsense!" Wen Siyuan yelled, and Duan Shuwen was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, "There were omissions in last year's evaluation? Then Bai Qiusheng is obviously a weak official. He has been a county magistrate for four full years. Order, you told me that you missed something last year, and I thought you were missing it every year!”
Wen Siyuan pointed at Duan Shuwen angrily, "Your Majesty has repeatedly issued orders. The evaluation of civil servants is extremely important and affects the people under your rule! What about you? How dare you fool Your Majesty like this, which has led to His Majesty becoming a fool in Siyang County now? Magistrate, you are so stupid!”
Wen Siyuan turned around and bowed his hand to Meng Changping: "The lower official suggested that this document be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for review. The lower official thought that this document was very likely to accept bribes, so he was lenient to Bai Qiusheng and others."
"No, sir!" Duan Shuwen was already panicking. How did he know what bribe he had accepted from Bai Qiusheng?
He did take a lot of bribes, but he really didn’t remember Bai Qiusheng.
"I think this suggestion from Minister Wen is extremely necessary. Someone...take down this piece of writing. Shangshu Guan, you will personally review this piece of writing and be sure to get rid of such a black sheep!"
Guan Shanqian, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, cupped his fists and saluted, "I accept the order! Take off your official robes for this letter and take it to the Ministry of Punishment for personal interrogation by this official!"
Duan Shuwen collapsed to the ground. He was a dignified fourth-grade official minister, but at this moment he was dragged out like a soulless dog.
Wen Siyuan added: "The lower official has committed the crime of negligence. He voluntarily received a one-year fine and personally conducted a thorough investigation of the officialdom!"
"As for your crime, let's wait until His Majesty comes back to decide, but a thorough investigation of the officialdom cannot be delayed!"
Zhuo Yingxing glanced at the ministers with a very serious look, and said: "Now His Majesty is still serving as the magistrate of Siyang County, so I have to go there in person. In addition, Zhou Tongtong is not in the court, so this other imperial edict will be handed over to him. Give it to the Imperial Staff, which is under His Majesty’s personal control, and they know what to do next.”
"I want to tell all of you here that His Majesty has a broad mind and can tolerate any mistakes you make, but the only thing he cannot tolerate is to do nothing in his position!"
"Please remember, your Majesty is a man with lofty ideals! He will surely lead the Wu Dynasty to unprecedented heights! But if you, including me, cannot keep up with His Majesty's progress, you will drag His Majesty down or even block it. Your Majesty, please resign yourself!"
"This is what I said, please do your own thing!"
After saying this, Zhuo and his party walked away. Nangong Yiyu took a look and said to Meng Changping: "I have to go and have a look. Please ask Mr. Meng to take charge of the rectification of the official department."
Nangong Yiyu also threw away his hand, and Meng Changping became very depressed. These two old guys ran away quickly, but the official department was originally under the jurisdiction of his Shangshu Province, and it was indeed his responsibility. What else could he do? How to do it?
"Now, I have ordered all officials from the Ministry of Personnel to go to various places to thoroughly investigate the administration of officials!"
A rectification movement that shocked the entire Wu Dynasty began. This was within Fu Xiaoguan's expectation and the effect he needed.
At this moment, he had just arrived at the Black Pool—the endless pitch-black pool!
