Chapter 782

"General Yue Fei Fei, you must remember, killing is not the way to solve the problem, it is just a means."

He had heard this many times, but only when Qin Mu said it did General Yue Fei Fei truly think about it.

Was killing wrong?

Zhang Juzheng was a civil official after all, and there were slightly more twists and turns in his brain.

Hearing the Emperor's tone, he probably guessed how to solve it?

"Your Majesty, the problems of the officials themselves cannot all be discovered by relying solely on the Ministry of Personnel's assessment. Why not establish a Supervisory Court to specifically supervise the behavior of officials in the world!"

This was exactly what Qin Mu wanted.

The Supervisory Court, independent outside the Six Ministries, not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War.

Qin Mu nodded approvingly.

Zhang Juzheng being able to think of this step was already not bad.

Qin Mu needed capable ministers to support Great Qin's rule; he couldn't rely on himself for everything.

The more capable the ministers were, the more relaxed he would be.

"Relying solely on the Supervisory Court is not enough. Officials from different departments will also become friends and collude with each other. This matter, in the end, still has to rely on the supervision of the common people and lower-level officials!"

Common people and lower-level officials?

Zhang Juzheng and General Yue Fei Fei couldn't understand this.

Since ancient times, the only ones who had the power to govern officials were higher-level officials.

The Emperor said to let the common people supervise, wouldn't the officials be subject to the common people instead?

This... seemed a bit reversed.

But they didn't dare to doubt the Emperor's words.

The Emperor would never be wrong; it was just that they hadn't realized such a deep intention yet.

"Your Majesty, how should the common people and lower-level officials supervise the officials?"

Qin Mu knew that this matter was not easy to understand.

It was not easy to make them reverse their thinking.

Highbrow things are hard to understand; that was how it was.

If others couldn't reach the height of your thinking, they would appear blank at what you said.

"Every official being toppled is an opportunity for their subordinates to be promoted. As long as the Ministry of Personnel slightly changes the content of the assessment, it can make lower-level officials more motivated to supervise their superiors.

In addition, it is necessary to establish a special channel—the Secret Memorial!"

The Secret Memorial was to let anyone have the power to write a petition to report those officials who violated the law.

This channel was specially protected, not allowed to be blocked, and not allowed to be read by others.

In a word, no one else could interfere with the Secret Memorial channel.

The Secret Memorial was like a Shangfang Sword handed to the common people, giving them a weapon to deal with lawless officials.

This was a subversive innovation!

Zhang Juzheng and General Yue Fei Fei exclaimed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty's wisdom is deep, always able to think of these unexpected good methods!"

"Your Majesty is an eternal holy emperor, and all kinds of innovations will surely leave a good name for eternity!"

It wasn't their fault for being ignorant.

In their memory, these things Qin Mu mentioned hadn't appeared yet.

This was a memory that belonged only to Qin Mu.

"Zhang Juzheng!"

"I am here!"

Qin Mu was still very suspicious of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who sent the golden treasure turtle to the harem.

He also handed this matter to Zhang Juzheng to investigate clearly.

"Go and handle the construction of the Supervisory Court. Also, investigate that Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel clearly; don't let Great Tang's tentacles reach into Great Qin's Imperial Court!"

"I obey the decree!"

Zhang Juzheng felt a chill all over, knowing the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy.

The Emperor's words were already very clear.

The Emperor suspected that the person who sent the golden treasure turtle to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel must be someone from Great Tang with ulterior motives.

They wanted to gather their forces within Great Qin by winning over Great Qin's courtiers.

This matter was absolutely not allowed to happen!

General Yue Fei Fei didn't have much performance throughout the whole process and was a bit unwilling.

As a pillar of Great Qin, compared to Zhang Juzheng's performance, he felt a bit ashamed.

"Your Majesty, behind this matter, Great Tang people have taken action. They want to corrode Great Qin's officialdom, and their hearts are punishable! I request to pull out all the foundations that the aristocratic families have left in Great Qin!"

These words were murderous.

Qin Mu knew that if he let General Yue Fei Fei take action, it would definitely be another bloody scene of blood flowing like a river.

"No need, the foundations of the aristocratic families were left intentionally. Their existence is to let other Great Qin merchants surpass them and stimulate the enterprising spirit of Great Qin merchants." This principle was another novel angle.

Aristocratic families had always stood at the top of this world, whether in power or wealth.

Qin Mu left a little foundation of the aristocratic families in Great Qin.

At first, Great Qin merchants would strive with them as their goal. After a long time, some people would slowly surpass them.

By then, discovering that they had actually surpassed the influence of the aristocratic families, they would definitely be greatly encouraged.

General Yue Fei Fei's request was rejected by Qin Mu, and he was momentarily at a loss.

He really wanted to do something to prove his value.

Qin Mu felt a bit funny looking at General Yue Fei Fei's appearance.

"General Yue Fei Fei, you don't have to belittle yourself. If you really want to do something, pick out a new army and train it into the Supervisory Court Legion."

Supervisory Court Legion!

General Yue Fei Fei's eyes lit up. Just hearing this name, one knew it must be full of killing intent!

When the Supervisory Court Legion moved out, corrupt officials would definitely be terrified.

Originally, it was just a few civil officials from the Ministry of Personnel checking their respective political achievements. Now, they were going to send a massive army to thoroughly investigate all traces of lawlessness.

Which corrupt official wouldn't be afraid?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely train a crack army that is impartial and incorruptible!"

Under Qin Mu's instruction, the Supervisory Court would become a special institution that was half-civil and half-military.

It would have its own independent armed forces that could be mobilized.

From now on, all corrupt officials, whenever they heard the name of the Supervisory Court, would definitely be filled with secret fear and live in constant anxiety!

After setting this big event, Qin Mu waved his hand, signaling them to retreat.

This matter had just begun.

Qin Mu wanted to see how many officials with ulterior motives those Great Tang aristocratic families had stuffed into Great Qin's Imperial Court?

This matter has only just begun.

Qin Mu wanted to see exactly how many officials with ulterior motives those Great Tang aristocratic families had stuffed into the Great Qin imperial court.
