Chapter 350 Bundling of Interests(2/2)
With one billion, you can receive ten thousand taels of gold as a final gift! With this amount of money, it will be enough for you to enjoy your retirement."
Hearing this, the scholars present could not contain their surprise.
However, Chongzhen changed the topic and said: "However, Emperor Taizu Gao once said something back then. I will also give this sentence to you today, and you will also tell it to all other scholars after you go back."
After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "I will drink from the golden bottle together, but I will not spare you any mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Mingluan, Ruan Dacheng, Wang Wei and all the scholars suddenly looked solemn.
Chongzhen said again: "There is no good thing in this world that only takes benefits without taking responsibility. I have given you such a generous salary. When you become an official, I will give you such a large amount of official salary. You must have it."
Take your own responsibilities, firstly, don’t be corrupt; secondly, don’t live like a fool and just live with nothing!”
After saying this, Chongzhen said to Huang Zongxi: "Huang Zongxi, the supervision matters will be left to your Supervision Department. Although your Supervision Department is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not subject to any control by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as you think it is necessary, you can
Investigate anyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including Ma Mingluan."
"O minister, I would like to listen to the holy teachings." Huang Zongxi stood up and solemnly promised.
Chongzhen went on to say: "If we let the Supervision Bureau find out who is messing around, if we find out once, the dividends for the year will be deducted; if we find out twice, we will be fired immediately, and the salary will be deducted! If we find corruption, just once, we will immediately
He will be fired, and his bonus and salary for the year will be deducted. In addition, he will have to recover the stolen money and accept corresponding penalties."
Chongzhen has reason to believe that with this high-pressure policy, he cannot say that absolutely no one will dare to commit corruption, but at least most people will shrink back after weighing the pros and cons.
When Ma Mingluan and others heard this, they all looked solemn.
At this time, Fan Zhongjie, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, hurriedly arrived outside Yilun Hall.
Wang Chengen outside the hall said: "Long live my Lord, Fan Zhongjie, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, wants to see you."
Chongzhen's response soon came from the Yi Lun Hall: "Let him come in."
Wang Chengen then sang loudly: "Xuan, Fan Zhongjie, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, comes to see you."
Fan Zhongjie straightened his clothes, walked into the Yilun Hall holding the wat board, and paid homage to Chongzhen.
"Get back on your feet." Chongzhen raised his hands and asked again, "Is Ting Tui going to start soon?"
The chief minister of the cabinet, Shi Kefa, was imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice for correcting an imperial edict. The second cabinet minister, Xie Xuelong, unfortunately slipped and fell into a well while admiring the moon last night and drowned. Two of the three cabinet ministers were eliminated at once, leaving Lu Zhenfei alone to take charge.
This situation is definitely not feasible, so nominating a new cabinet prime minister has become a top priority.
"Yes." Fan Zhongjie said respectfully, "This court promotion is of great importance, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to come and preside over it in person."
