.The Blade of Integrity

After five years of careful investigation by the First Military Machinery Department and the Department of Integrity, more than 3,700 people on the case have shown that they are suspected of corruption and negligence, accounting for almost three levels of officials at all levels of the imperial court.

Liu Xie has been quietly accumulating these evidences. What he wants is to deal with a one-time storm, which exceeds everyone's expectations. Although it has an impact on the credibility of the court and the ability to handle daily affairs, as long as there is such a storm, the great man will not have to worry about corruption within ten years.

One by one, it is easy for these people to have a lucky mentality. Only by dealing with it on a large scale will they be scared and completely scared.

Many times, Liu Xie is thinking about the question: Why is China's history a country that is constantly unified and divided, and peasant uprisings are constantly occurring, and what is the purpose of?

Many people say that Confucianism is the guarantee that China can continuously achieve unity and the fundamental guarantee for the formation of the Chinese nation. Liu Xie does not think so. For a long time, the discourse power of the Chinese nation's culture has always been in the hands of Confucian scholars. This is an undeniable issue. As the saying goes, nine out of ten officials are corrupt, but people have never considered another background color of China--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dynasties in the long river of Chinese history always stage unique and identical dramas. From the tyranny at the end of the previous empire, a new emperor will be born, and then there is war. When the war is exhausted, the new emperor begins to work hard to govern. After a few generations, the new dynasty will reach a peak, and then an incompetent emperor will appear. After the incompetent emperor, several emperors with no virtue and tyranny will emerge, and comedy with no virtue and even shamelessness will be staged for the birth of the next new emperor.

Since ancient times, there has been such a saying in China that the successes are kings and princes are defeated are bandits.

Since ancient times, especially after the Han Dynasty, those who have the right to speak in Chinese history have always been Confucian scholars. Such a huge ideological group can always grasp the right to speak again and again.

Are the two emperors Heng and Ling really unvirtuous? In Liu Xie's opinion, they can only be considered incompetent. The money they squandered themselves was a drop in the bucket compared to the finance and taxation of the Han Dynasty at that time. So who squandered all the finance and taxation of the Han Dynasty?

Some people say it is the Ten Constellation of the Ten Constellation. Yes, the Ten Constellation of the Ten Constellation also squandered a lot, but can ten of them destroy a huge Eastern Han Empire?

The real answer is that the countless county magistrates, prefects, and officials of all levels of Han, the destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of this huge bureaucratic group.

Who are these bureaucratic groups? The answer is two words - Confucian scholars.

Taking this as an example, we can find that the so-called dynasties in Chinese history that were destroyed by emperors and without virtue were actually destroyed by bureaucratic literati groups with Confucian scholars as the main body. Those emperors who were described by Confucian scholars as greedy and tyrannical, and had little morality and stupidity were just scapegoats for this bureaucratic literati group.

These bureaucratic literati groups are the largest interest groups in the history of Chinese civilization. No matter how history changes or how dynasties fall, their interests will not change. If they eat up the previous dynasty, they can still eat the next dynasty, and the carrier of civilization is in their hands. They can change history at will, and as long as they are blamed for foolishness and lust for the previous emperor, they can completely cover up their sins.

When describing Emperor Xiaoling, these bureaucratic and literati groups said that he asked the women in the harem to wear inner mattresses and could be debaucherous at any time. But no one has ever considered a basic fact. With Emperor Xiaoling's thin body, he could commit adultery everywhere in the palace. His last five years were spent on the bed.

Emperor Xiaoling was lust, but were the emperors in the prosperous era not lust, and were the founding emperors of all dynasties not lust?

How powerful is a bureaucratic literati group like Confucian scholars? In today's Han Empire, it can still be seen that 30% of officials involved in corruption, which can be traced. There are relatively conclusive data to prove that many officials with small corruption and bribery cannot be traced.

To be precise, even the Han Empire, which is so strict today, is still a breeding ground for corruption.

Corrupt officials in Chinese civilization are like leeks in the fields. One crop is cut and another crop is regenerated for a long time, because everyone is the same.

September 20, 15th year of China. This day may be written in the history of Chinese civilization. On this day, Liu Xie, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, officially announced the world to strictly investigate corrupt officials and promulgated the "Military and Political Law of the Han Empire" more strictly than the original "Military and Political Law",

Six days later, the Central Imperial Court informed the world that a total of 3,372 officials at all levels of the court were found, which had a severe impact on the Central Government.

People from all over the country demanded severe punishment of these corrupt officials, and at the same time asked Xun and others to step down. Liu Xie immediately announced the punishment results of Cheng Bing and transferred Cui Hao back to the Central Zhiluo Office to serve as the new Minister of Personnel. However, at the same time, the main officials of the Central Zhiluo Office were deprived of the trial rights, and the Supervisory Yuan conducted a public trial. According to the new law, among the 3,372 court officials, 81 were corruption and bribes of more than one million yuan, committed first-class serious crimes, and were directly sentenced to hanging, and 324 were guilty of second-class serious crimes.

The government officials violated the law and were punished with first-class crimes and were punished with first-class serious crimes. Cheng Bing, Secretary of the Central Personnel Department, Xu Fen, Secretary of the Central Agriculture Department, Yang Fenggong, Consultant of the Central Personnel Department, Huang Yuan, Consultant of the Yangzhou Zhiluo, Yang Xiao, Consultant of the Yangzhou Zhiluo, Consultant of the Jingzhou Zhiluo, Dong Chen, and other 32 senior officials were dismissed from the Marquis and were punished with titles and sent to the Yili Ranch in the Western Regions and the Wussurijiang Ranch in Xingzhou. Members of the same clan were not allowed to serve as officials at all levels of the court within 30 years, and their families were demoted to two levels of meritorious contributions.

There were 421 third-class serious crimes, 212 people were dealt with for life imprisonment, and the rest were all exiled to the frontier, and their families were demoted to the first level of meritorious deeds. The Governor's General Court applied to the Emperor of Han to apply for the confiscation of family property of the above 826 people, and the Emperor of Han Liu Xie personally approved the approval. One thousand six hundred people embezzled 300,000 yuan, which was a serious crime. All were sentenced to nine years of military conferred, and their families were demoted to half of their meritorious deeds, and their respective titles were removed.

Ninety-six embezzlement of 100,000 yuan is a minor crime, of which 360 people are punished with one or more serious crimes. They are sentenced to three years in prison, their respective titles are removed, their respective families are demoted to half of their merits, and 586 people are still subject to minor crimes. Sixteen k Literature Network has been dismissed, and those with titles are demoted to one level, those with new titles are dismissed, and half of their family's property is confiscated.

Although there were many people dealing with it, it did not shake the foundation of the court. The Xun family, the family who served in the central court, handed over the responsible children in the family in advance. As for Kuai Liang, it was his own self-inflicted, thinking that he had no idea. However, he did not expect that the military aircraft had been staring at these families who served as state merchants in major trading companies.

However, the sudden resignation of officials from the third floors of the office still caused a large-scale shock. Although the government and the country asked Xun Yinjiu to resign, Xun himself formally submitted his resignation, Liu Xie still kept him and gave him three years to clean up the mess. Three years later, Zhuge Jin took office.

Liu Xie knew very well that letting the three thousand people leave was a destructive act, and only Xun had the ability to recover slowly. As long as he was still there, the central court and the governing and ruling Taiwan at all levels could still operate normally.

It is easy to destroy, but it is very difficult to recover. The stability of the upper class must be ensured. It is the basis for Liu Xie's large-scale investigation and dismissal operation. At the same time, he personally ordered the exercise of the immunity of the Han emperor and the removal of the corruption of the two children of the Xun family. He will not be punished for the time being, but only let them retreat on their own.

After the investigation of the court, Liu Xie investigated the trading company again, but this time the investigation was much less intense. Only more than 620 people were executed, and some of the crimes were less culprits, Liu Xie only asked the Department of Integrity to give a warning to deal with it.

After completing the series of anti-corruption operations code-named "Blade of Integrity", Liu Xie once again announced to the world as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the leader of Taoism that all the people of the Han Dynasty must believe in Taoism and respect the three honors as the supreme gods. The Tai Chi Bagua Diagram ring is a necessary token of Taoist believers.

Imitate the model of the Roman Holy See and the Han regime. Reform the Taoist Holy See and set up the Xuan Daoyuan, the inner Daoyuan, the Heavenly Dao Monks Hall, and the Heavenly Dao Warrior Hall.

Taoist leaders wore the Hotan white jade dragon and phoenix gem Tai Chi Bagua ring. The Dao Master and the Dragon believer wore the silver Qinglong Tai Chi Bagua ring, the Taoist master and the tiger believer wore the purple copper Red Tiger Tai Chi Bagua ring, the Taoist priest and good believer wore the bronze Tai Chi Bagua ring, and ordinary believers wore the familiar iron Tai Chi Bagua ring. Any silver Qinglong Tai Chi Bagua ring can only be awarded and sealed by the Taoist leaders.

Liu Xie first sent the silver Xuanwu Tai Chi Bagua Ring to 16 people including Xun, Xu Shu, Hu Zhao, Jiang Wan, Zhou Yu, Sun Jian, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Cao Cao and others, and named them Dragon believers, Ma Chao, Sun Ce, Lu Xun, Wei Yan and others 121 people awarded Tiger believers and gave them the purple copper Red Tiger Tai Chi Bagua Ring.

Even if Xun and others did not believe in Taoism, they still had to wear it, so they had to wear it one by one.

Also imitating Christianity, Liu Xie decided that the day after the month was the court and worship. He had to go to the Taoist temple to teach the "Three Tathagata Sutra" and formulated donation regulations, requiring believers from all over the country to donate money to build majestic Taoist temples in various places. The Taoist temples are only set up in the mountains. Believers must visit legal Taoist temples in various places once a year.

In Tianjing, Nanjingg and other places, they are preparing to build very majestic Taoist temples, and they all adopt a realistic style. Liu Xie believes that only realistic and beautiful styles can produce enough realisticity and make everyone deeply believe in the existence of the three Taoist masters.

Now the people of all levels of the Han Empire have a lot of money. As soon as the edict to donate and build a road hall was issued, various places donated one after another. The major families, which were originally condemned in the Blade of Integrity, donated vigorously, and the number of donations from each family surprised Liu Xie.

Large-scale construction of road halls has also been launched across the country. Almost every county has three or four road halls on farms, which facilitates the people of all regions to enter the temple to worship at the end of the month.

This is something that Liu Xie has been preparing for a long time. From the time he began to elevate the status of Taoism to the national religion, he has been planning these things. Only by believing in Taoism across the country can people completely get rid of Confucian restrictions in their thoughts, that is, everyone can continue to maintain the concept of "monarchy's power and divine authority", and at the same time, let people follow the Taoist requirements for basic social morality, abide by the law, be honest and upright, self-disciplined and orderly, and be kind and generous.

Never underestimate the power of faith. A positive and harmonious belief can change the world, and autistic and discriminatory belief can destroy the world. No country in the world can be stronger than the power of religion in terms of cohesion. The birth, fusion and division of all nations in the world are the role of religion.

Liu Xie told himself that if you want to have a strong and stable empire, you must have a powerful and stable religion. Taoism is the most pursuing harmony with nature in the world. If this is dominated by Taoism, there will be no large-scale natural destruction in the whole world. People will prefer to live in harmony with nature and make profits from it. This is also the foundation for the long-term development of human civilization. Although Taoism is stable and harmonious, it is not strong enough. It lacks the spirit of promoting Taoism and popularizing morality, and also lacks this motivation. The Heavenly Dao Cultivator Hall and the Heavenly Dao Warrior Hall are organizations prepared to make Taoism more stable and powerful.

The Heavenly Dao Cultivator Hall is composed of the most knowledgeable people among Taoist believers in the world. They take it as their mission to discover the truth in the universe and are the product of the further integration of Taoism and science.

As long as there is a Buddhist monk in Heaven, Liu Xie believes that even thousands of years later, Taoism can still stand on the supreme point of faith and will not decline because of scientific advancement, because the mechanism he explained is the truth of the universe. For ordinary people, Taoism is a religion that believes in the three gods, and for scientists, Taoism is a religion that believes in science and a breeding ground for the birth of all scientists.

This is the greatness of Taoism, a religion that believes in the spirit of all the great Taos in the world and the universe. This is the greatest thing about Chinese civilization. Its rationality, harmony, nature, and orderly determination is enough to dominate the spirit and soul of the entire world and all human beings.

The Heavenly Dao Warrior Hall will be integrated with the Imperial Guards, and will even continue to expand, forming a military force to defend Taoism among the people, and working hard to explore and protect Taoism.

Standing on the towering star-gazing altar, shrouding the light of the vast starry sky, Liu Xie looked up at the sky and shouted: How great is it to build a great empire? I want to build a great spiritual empire, which will last forever!
