The best person in Le Jin's heart to ask for help should have been full of favor.

If Man Chong could go to the central government, he would rather write to Man Chong directly and ask Man Chong to help him with a few good words. This matter might have passed like this.

But Man Chong went to Jiaozhou as the governor of Jiaozhou and failed to return to the central government, otherwise Man Chong would be his first target for help.

His relationship with Man Chong laid the foundation in the war era. The two of them worked together to do a lot of things in Yizhou, did a lot of things very well, and received a lot of rewards.

Le Jin felt that this relationship was very solid and the friendship was strong.

Moreover, Man Chong's wife is also a woman from the Guo clan. She is very trusted by Guo Peng. Once she returns to the central government, she will definitely have a high position and a generous salary.

Unfortunately, Man Feng was not in the center, so he had to settle for the second best, and thought of Guo Jia.

As the first important official of the royal family, Guo Jia's status is one of the best in the entire court.

The royal family, Yuan Cong, was in his teenage years, following Guo Peng to start a business to conquer the world and made many contributions.

When Liu Zhang's power was suppressed, Le Jin had a beautiful cooperation with Guo Jia. After that, he cooperated several times, and his relationship was quite good.

Guo Jia's optimistic, cheerful and talkative image left a deep impression on Le Jin. He thought Guo Jia was a reliable person.

Before, Le Jin had never asked Guo Jia for anything, but this time, Le Jin hoped that Guo Jia could take action.

If nothing is wrong, then it is the best. If something happens, he hopes that Guo Jia can help him speak a few good words in front of the emperor, and say good things, so that he will not lose his due status so quickly.

He is not old yet, and he doesn't want to leave the army early like Cao Ren to retire.

In that case, he will die of sadness.

The letter was sent to Luoyang Cheng as the anti-corruption storm was intensifying, which was mid-to-late June of the 12th year of Yande.

At that time, the Northeast Corps, Southeast Corps and Southwest Corps successively broke out corruption incidents in the military supplies system, and the local Warehouse System also broke out corruption incidents in the local Warehouse System.

In anger, Guo Peng refused to listen to the pleading of his ministers and directly ordered Dong Zhao to be removed from his post as Minister of War, put him in jail and questioned him for strict interrogation.

Local warehouses exploded on a large scale. What do you, the Minister of War, do for food?

He took his salary and refused to work, indulged his subordinates in arbitrary manner, causing a series of accidents in the world's warehouses, seriously endangering the strategic reserves of the court, which was almost a death sentence.

If it weren't for the ministers' plea, Guo Peng would have simply killed Dong Zhao to serve as a warning.

However, the death penalty is avoided, and the living penalty cannot be escaped. All male members of the Dong family deprived them of their academic qualifications, and they were not allowed to enter school for three generations and were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, so they went back to their hometown to farm.

Dong Zhao did not kill him, but Guo Peng's anger was difficult to curb, so two ministers from the Ministry of War who were also guilty of dereliction of duty were killed.

One of the two ministers was Kuai Yue, the surrendered minister of Jingzhou.

Some people from Jingzhou in the court pleaded for him, but Guo Peng refused to listen and became even more annoyed. He raised his sword and killed him, dismissed his clan member Kuai Liang, demoted him to a commoner, and rushed back to his hometown to farm, and never complained about it.

The Kuai clan members were not allowed to enroll in school for three generations, and they were imprisoned for local responsibilities. All clan members were deprived of their academic status, and they were not allowed to take the imperial examination, or even do business, and were only allowed to farm.

Almost one-third of the number of killed officials who were questioned by the Central War Department.

Many officials cried and shouted that they were dragged out of the Ministry of War by officials from the Sili School of War Office, beaten and scolded, and drove them away with whips, like driving them away from the Ministry of War Office to the Imperial Prison like driving away livestock. They were specially allowed to watch by Luoyang people along the way.

The surviving officials of the Ministry of War watched their colleagues be taken away so cruelly and never come back. They were filled with fear and gladness of surviving the disaster.

Local officials of the Ministry of War were also cut off by Guo Peng. Nearly a hundred officials' tribes were imprisoned for three generations, and they were not allowed to be officials, attend school, do not engage in business, and have to farm.

Moreover, men are not allowed to get married if they are less than twenty years old, and women are not allowed to get married if they are less than sixteen.

This rule was newly added by Guo Peng in the official law in the eighth year of Yande, because he heard that some criminals took advantage of the law to let the children in their families get married and have children early.

Some families even force their children to get married and have children at the age of 12 or 13, and strive to spend three generations of time in more than 30 years and then return to the court.

It is truly an example of policies above and countermeasures below.

When Guo Peng heard the news, he was furious and ordered that these families who took advantage of the loopholes be imprisoned for two more generations, and strict orders that men and women should not get married earlier than 20 and women should not get married earlier than 16. Otherwise, three more generations will be imprisoned to see who dares to break the ban.

As time goes by, the imperial examination bureaucrats have made great progress, and the origin attributes of criminal officials have shown a trend of diversified development, including scholars and bureaucrats, poor families, and common people.

It’s so fast to learn.

Guo Peng then expanded the attack surface and attack intensity.

In a rage, the ministers were trembling and trembling, and did not dare to say a word. Seeing the emperor killing, no one dared to plead again.

Later, Guo Peng compiled the process and charges of these officials into books, titled "Records of Sinners", wrote down all their names, origins and deeds, and sent them to Imperial College and local academies and schools, reminding those preparatory officials to think about the consequences of these sinners when doing things.

Then, Guo Peng began a new round of personnel changes.

Then he was transferred to the position of Yongzhou Governor Chen Gong and entered Luoyang to take over as Minister of War.

He was transferred to the position of governor of Liangzhou, Mao Jie, as the position of governor of Yongzhou.

He was promoted to Shangdang County Governor Lu Qian as the governor of Liangzhou.

He was promoted to one of the cabinet group assistants, and Xu Shu, the attendant of Nanshu, took over as the governor of Shangdang County.

After a series of personnel mobilizations, some political structures in the court and local areas changed.

For example, Chen Gong, who was struggling to return to the central government, finally got what he wanted and returned to the central government and became the Minister of War with practical power.

Although Mao Jie, who was struggling to return to the central government, did not return to the central government, he was one step closer to the central government.

Based on this experience, Mao Jie even began to look forward to the next fallen Shangshu, so that he could go back and take over.

Lu Qian, who has been working in Shangdang County for many years, has been unknown and diligent in everyone's vision. He was transferred to the governor of Liangzhou and became a magistrate of the border. The situation is indeed special.

Xu Shu, one of the cabinet group assistants and one of the attendants of the Nanshufang, was transferred to the position of the county magistrate of Shangdang, which was equivalent to being released for training.

It can be imagined that Xu Shu, who has experience in local administration and central administration, has unlimited future.

At the same time, because officials such as the Minister of War, Langzhong, Yuanwailang, etc. who were in charge of warehouses in various states in the Ministry of War were brutally held accountable, Guo Peng made a major move to mobilize cabinet officials to fill the shortage of officials in the Ministry of War.

Then, more than 50 grassroots officials from the Ministry of War were promoted from the Ministry of War to the grassroots management positions, assisting the cabinet officials to support the daily work of the Ministry of War.

Then, Guo Peng set a large number of new responsibilities and regulations for the Ministry of War.

The department in charge of the warehousing system of a certain state has to spend at least one-third of the time each year in the area under its jurisdiction. If there is insufficient time, they will be immediately dismissed. If there is a problem, the head will be directly held accountable.

Everyone from top to bottom of the Ministry of War was in danger. When Chen Gong, who was excited to return to take over his post, saw the mess of the Ministry of War, he immediately realized that he was not the chosen son of God, but was here to fill in the pit.

Good guy, dismissing one-third of the officials in one go is equivalent to bringing a large-scale blood exchange in the Ministry of War.

Several departments have changed everything from doctor to official website, all of which are new and no old.

What is certain is that the emperor's anti-corruption storm never disappoints.

The Ministry of War is facing a major change, and some mysterious departments with the Ministry of War have also been implicated and investigated.

The Ministry of Finance and the Cabinet Audit Department faced strict investigations from Cheng Yu, and the Minister of Finance Wang Can and the Cabinet Chief Cao Cao were once again faced the political storm and were investigated and interrogated.

At the beginning, everyone thought this was a storm against the warehousing system and military supplies system, and other departments could watch the show on the wall.

But who would have thought that the storm would soon expand and affect other imperial departments. On the contrary, the local governments, because of their limited power, could not manage warehouses, and were weak and powerless in the face of local central officials, escaped the disaster and were not affected.

It's also very lucky.

So many people find that local officials are indeed not as well treated as the central government, and have little power. They are often bullied and ridiculed by local central officials.

However, once a political storm occurs, the unlucky ones are these central officials, not local officials.

There is indeed no law in the world.

Wang Can and Cao Cao were strictly interrogated by Cheng Yu, but there was no serious problem after interrogation. In the end, they could only conclude that Cao Cao and Wang Can were suspected of dereliction of duty and did not have the fact of corruption.

Most of the officials in the Ministry of Finance and the Cabinet Audit Department were innocent, and at most they were negligent. Only a few people were found to have other problems and were further investigated.

The wind direction in the court gradually began to change, and everyone changed from the initial wandering to a hurry. Everyone remembered the tragic situation of the emperor crying for his parents and mom to regret it when the political storm broke out.

Who knows whether this anti-corruption storm will come to me as I storm. Many people have started self-inspection for this, for fear that they will be taken away by Cheng Yu and then dealt with severely, and died in the imperial prison, so they will not be able to see the light of day.

No one wants to have such an ending.

I can only say that the current news in Luoyang is really tight.

At such a tight moment, a secret letter was sent to Guo Jia's mansion without interruption and placed in front of Guo Jia's desk.

When Guo Jia saw this letter, he happened after he went home at night.

During the day, he heard a lot of rumors at the staff station. He ran to the cabinet to inquire about the news, but he never got any effective news. He only knew that Cao Cao was taken away to assist in the investigation for more than a day, and he still had no accurate letters.

He was worried about this.

People outside say that Cao Cao and Guo Jia are the weather vanes of the court's politics. If something happens, follow them, it is absolutely right.

But now, Cao Cao, who had been affected by any government turmoil, was once again affected by it.

Cao Cao has never been a weather vane. He has mocked himself, saying that if his sister had not been the queen, others would have been gone long ago.

Is it easy to exercise such power behind such an emperor in such a position?

Surviving in Luoyang City is a very difficult thing.

It’s okay for a small official, but a high official, so the risk factor should not be too high.

Cao Cao was not a weather vane at all, he was in danger many times.

Guo Jia himself dared not say that he was a weather vane. He had never been investigated or involved in any political storm, but this was obtained in a very extreme way.

Unruly, unruly, unruly, and unruly, and not respected by the world, is his own defamation.

He does not buy property, does not want land, and lives by relying on rewards and salary, and spends money like soil. This is his own strategy.

He knew better than anyone else that the reason why he was safe and sound is not only because he is from the Guo clan, but also a hero of Yuan Cong.

It is more dependent on his actual behavior and political ethics without political ambitions.

That emperor is no longer the young general who took him away from Yingchuan with him and was very tough in talking about military issues.
