Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 271
After watching Yang Qi being dragged out, Zhao Qian turned to Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, I intend to propose."

"General, you don't need to be too polite. If you have something to say, if it is beneficial to the country, I will definitely agree." Liu Bian said immediately.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said, "This matter is of course beneficial to the country and the people."

"Oh? Tell me quickly, General." Liu Bian urged.

Zhao Qian turned around, faced the officials, and said, "This Yang Qi incident is actually a wake-up call to our ministers. If General Zhang hadn't caught him on the spot, wouldn't these traitors be allowed to go unpunished?"

"This is the old minister's fault..." Yang Biao said quickly, but was interrupted by Zhao Qian.

"Yang Taifu is an important minister of the country. He has worked a lot on weekdays, and he may have neglected the management of the family's children. However, the general said just now that this matter is not the fault of the Taifu. Please do not repeat it." Zhao Qian said.

Yang Biao bowed his hands, stepped aside, and stopped talking.

"The general continued, what is the proposal?" Liu Bian asked again.

Zhao Qian nodded and continued: "In view of this, I propose to set up a Chen Yuan drum in Jinyang City. No matter who is wronged, they can complain about the cause, and then send a special person to investigate. If it is true, go to the court From the princes and nobles, down to the Li people, they are all dealt with according to law."

It was not Zhao Qian who came up with the idea of ​​setting up Chen Yuan Drum, but he had read a novel in his previous life, in which the protagonist set up the "Wing Yuan Drum" to deter the public officials.

Liu Bian listened, thought for a while, and said: "This method is very good, do you have any objections?"

His Highness and ministers looked at each other after hearing this, but they were just whispering. Many of them didn't know that this was Zhao Qian's excuse to beat the children of other aristocratic families.

However, no one came out to speak at this time, and many people looked at Yang Biao.

Yang Biao is the Grand Tutor. Although he has no real power, his official position is very high. If he speaks up, it will be very important.

However, Yang Biao couldn't stand up at this time. His nephew Yang Qi had just had such a bad thing. If he came out to oppose it, his intention would be too obvious.

Yang Biao, who was the grand tutor, didn't say anything, and everyone looked at Situ Xun Yu again, but Xun Yu didn't intend to speak, after all, Zhao Qian's move was beneficial to the country.

Huang Wan wanted to object, but he was alone, and if he offended Zhao Qian, it would be a fire, so he chose to remain silent.

Xun Yu and Huang Wan, who were among the three princes, did not object, Yang Biao chose to remain silent, and this proposal was made by the general, so how could the important officials dare to object.

Zhao Qian also knew that this would inevitably cause panic in the aristocratic family, and what would be done if the guarantee was not complete, so he said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, the previous things will be ignored, but from now on, Chen Yuan's drum will sound, If the princes are involved, don't blame this general for being rude!"

After hearing this, those aristocratic families and ministers were slightly relieved. If the old accounts were investigated, it is estimated that none of them would be clean. Fortunately, Zhao Qian did not blame the past, and he will only have to restrain his children more in the future.

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Since none of the ministers objected, the general's proposal has been approved. However, I don't know who is suitable for this matter?"

This is not a good job, it is the easiest to offend people, and it is not something ordinary people can do.

Zhao Qian thought for a while and said, "I think that Lu Ji, the son of the former Lujiang prefect Lu Kang and the current servant Lu Ji, can take on this role."

"Lu Shilang is meticulous in his work, but is he too young?" Liu Bian asked.

Zhao Qian was a little speechless. Of course, young people are required to do something that offends people. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If you find an older person, you will be smooth in handling things, but it loses the meaning of Chen Yuandao.

"Your Majesty, although Gong Ji is young, he is good enough for this job." Zhao Qian said again without further explanation.

"Since the general is so optimistic about Lu Shilang, I will agree." Liu Bian said.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "In addition to this, we need to set up a team to assist Lu Ji in investigating the case."

"It should be so." Liu Bian said, "The general can decide these things by himself, and I don't know much about them."

"Observe the order!" Zhao Qian said quickly.

Liu Bian nodded, and asked, "Do you still have to play? If there is no play, then you will retreat."

"Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I still have to play!" Zhao Qian said again.

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else is there for the general? Just tell me."

Zhao Qian turned around, faced the group of officials, and said loudly: "The matter of Yang Qi is not just about the Yang family. This general feels that it is a wake-up call for the lords in the court."

Upon hearing Zhao Qian's words, the faces of the ministers couldn't help but change, here we come!After beating the Yang family, start beating them.

"The princes standing here are already extremely human ministers, and the children in the family have been superior to others since birth, making them arrogant and even lawless. Do you think so?"

No one answered Zhao Qian's question, but they also felt that it made sense in their hearts, and nodded gently one by one.

"What a little Yang Qi did in Hongnong is so shocking, don't the local officials know about it? Why didn't they stop it?" Zhao Qian's voice suddenly became louder.

"It's because those officials are either afraid of the power behind Yang Qi, or they are the disciples of the power behind him, who are themselves and Yang Qi's family, so they turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, causing the lives of the people to be ignored. It's hateful!"

Zhao Qian said that these were not aimless. Zhao Yun's investigation was very clear. Several county lieutenants and county magistrates of Hongnong had a deep relationship with the Yang family, which was also one of the reasons why Yang Qi was unscrupulous.

"Old minister..."

As soon as Yang Biao was about to speak, Zhao Qian interrupted immediately: "This general is not blaming Taifu Yang. I believe that Yang Qi's matter is not an exception. Who can guarantee that there is no one in the family who bullies others?"

His Highness and the ministers couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. It seems that Zhao Qian is going to talk about the key points next.

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to rectify the administration of officials, find out those who are immoral and incompetent, and let capable and virtuous people be officials, so as to stabilize the foundation of the country."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "It's not a trivial matter to rectify the administration of officials. I don't know who can take care of it?"

The officials also looked at Zhao Qian, feeling very nervous. After all, it was related to the interests of many of them.

"There is no one who is virtuous and can't do this." Zhao Qian said lightly, "I don't think there is anyone who is competent except Taifu Yang."

Yang Biao was startled, hurriedly stepped out of the shift, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no way to teach his nephew, and committed a serious mistake, how can he have the audacity to take this responsibility? It is a shame for the world."

"Isn't Taifu Yang willing to contribute to the court?" Zhao Qian asked rhetorically.
