Chapter 1081 Asking Su Zhenting

Chen Tong's expression frightened.

In fact, long before the rebellion began, Donggong and Sanbao issued an order to take advantage of this rebellion to record all the officials who had previously found and had hidden their confiscations to the cabinet.

Therefore, arresting people is not difficult for Chen Tong.

But it is difficult, it involves too much.

He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, are everyone arrested?"

Li Chen frowned.

If the Three Jewels are still there, they will definitely not ask.

Fortunately, Su Zhenting spoke and said, "Commander Chen, the senior official who entered the pavilion, can only be sentenced if the emperor and His Highness have the edict."

This sentence is very clear: arrest everyone below the cabinet and above, and do not move.

Chen Tong suddenly realized, and he said to Su Zhenting gratefully: "Thank you General Su for your reminder."

Su Zhenting nodded and accepted Chen Tong's gratitude.

Turning his head, Su Zhenting said to Li Chen: "If you arrest them all at once, it will probably cause paralysis of major departments of the court and the inability to operate the institutions. Do you consider arresting them in batches and steps? In order to avoid causing too much turmoil."

“Not considering.”

Li Chen shook his head and refused.

"If it is said that there is turmoil, this time they are obviously forcing the palace to rebel, isn't it big enough? I'll just take advantage of this time to kill them all."

Li Chen said in a sinister tone and coldly: "It's a killing chicken to warn the monkey."

"As for the suspension of institutions, our palace is also prepared for this matter. Let the scholars who passed the imperial examination in the previous session enter the officialdom and fill the gaps. They lack experience and can be temporarily appointed as deputys and do things while studying. It is better than being an editor in the Hanlin Academy every day to stay in the Hanlin Academy."

"As for other things, the selection from all over the country will be filled as soon as possible. The extraordinary method will be applied at extraordinary times. This selection will relax the conditions, and all the requirements shall be subject to priority compliance with the employment needs of the imperial institutions and departments."

"Once it has been selected by the Ministry of Revenue, no local officials are allowed to shirk responsibility without permission from this palace."

Su Zhenting's eyes lit up and said, "Your Highness is planning to take this opportunity to test the dismantle of local officials and transfer them to prevent the local government from being too strong and the court from weakening, and to compete with the court?"

Li Chen said calmly: "All the king's land under the world is the king's land, and the shores of the earth are the king's ministers."

"There is only one imperial court in the Qin Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to allow anywhere to compete with the imperial court."

The two sentences show Li Chen's attitude and also explain his basic governing philosophy.

Strengthen the centralization of the court!

After saying this, Li Chen suddenly turned his head and said to Su Zhenting: "General Su, this rebellion has made me see a lot and figured it out a lot. I am particularly dissatisfied with the military's performance."

"Why did the Shenwu Gate have a total of sixteen red-clothed cannons appear? This number is comparable to the configuration of the Crescent Pass. Where is the Crescent Pass? Why can someone transfer from the military without knowing it to the sixteen red-clothed cannons aimed at the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

There are three questions in one sentence, but there is only one central idea.

It pointed out that Su Zhenting was not in charge of the military.

Su Zhenting lowered his head and said, "I am dereliction of duty, please punish me."
