Chapter 469 Thunderbolt method, no bloodshed!
King Yu City, Imperial Palace.
Zhengde Hall!
"The time has come for all officials to enter the court!"
With a loud shout from the ceremony officer, the ministers entered the palace one by one. With a loud shout of long live, the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, which means the beginning of the morning dynasty!
"If there is something going on, go ahead, if there is nothing going on, leave the court!"
Wei Ying stood aside and shouted loudly. The ministers below were about to go out to report, but Emperor Yu suddenly waved his sleeves: "Everyone, please don't start the report yet. Where is the Minister of Punishment?"
"I'm here!"
"Come, show me this fold!"
Emperor Yu's face was as dark as water, and he suddenly threw the book in his hand on the ground. The temperature of the entire hall seemed to have dropped a lot.
Cai Ji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, looked stagnant, with a look of panic on his face. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the fold, opened it and looked at it twice. His face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"This... Your Majesty, I deserve death for this crime!"
"Sin worthy of death?"
"Show this to everyone at the Yushitai!"
"In the more than 100 years since I founded my country, Dayu, I have never seen such shocking corruption. If someone hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't have known that there were so many corrupt officials standing on this dry bank!"
"I am simply ashamed of my ancestors and the people of the world!"
Emperor Yu's face was filled with rage, and the document was passed around among the officials. For a moment, the expressions of all the civil and military officials changed, and many people even looked frightened and collapsed on the ground.
"Official staff!"
"Zheng Aiqing, tell me, what do your officials do for food?"
"Is it possible that all the assessments over the years are just waste paper used to fool me?"
Seeing Emperor Yu Longyan furious, half of the courtiers knelt down to plead guilty. Lin Qiushi stood up at the right time, knelt in front of the officials, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am the left minister of the dynasty, and I am guilty of negligence!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
After Emperor Yu's expression changed, he said solemnly: "What's the use of condemning someone?"
"The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Yushitai are all in name only. There are such corrupt people in the court. Where is the place?"
"Is it possible that all counties and counties will be governed by officials to govern the Qingming Festival?"
"It's really hard for me to imagine how the people in this world stabbed me in the back!"
Emperor Yu took a deep breath, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, arrest all the civil and military personnel on this list and escort them to await trial!"
"As you command!"
Jing Li, the commander of the imperial army, personally took action and led a team of soldiers to drag down the corrupt officials in the court one by one according to the list. Emperor Yu seemed to have been drained of all his strength and slumped down on his chair.
"His Majesty!"
"His Royal Highness King Xuanyong asks for an audience!"
A eunuch walked up to the front of the palace with small steps and spoke in a low voice.
Emperor Yu's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect this kid to come at this time. He pondered for a moment and said softly: "Send him in!"
"It is said that King Xuan Yong has an audience!"
After the ceremony officials came out one after another, a straight figure walked out of the hall, walked into the hall with steady steps, chest raised and head raised: "My son, please see my father!"
The eyes of all the civil and military officials were focused on this young man with a youthful appearance, and their faces were full of surprise. King Xuan Yong's notoriety was known to almost everyone in the capital!
But now, why did he ask for an audience in the morning?
"King Xuanyong, you came to court this morning. What is your important business?"
"Replying to my father, I have nothing important to do. I am just being taught by my father on weekdays. I want my son and ministers to pay more attention to the court proceedings and contribute to the people of Dayu. Today I have come to discuss the affairs of the court and listen to my teachings!"
"Then...you continue..."
With an innocent look on his face, Ning Fan stood silently aside, looking around and wondering: "My lords, why are there so many empty ministers here?"
"Ahem!"
Lin Qiushi seemed to be choked. He slightly cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is a court meeting. You must not..."
"Ning Fan!"
"My son is here!"
"You have exposed a bunch of corrupt officials and have served the court well. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Emperor Yu's face was calm, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes when he looked at Ning Fan. Since you took the initiative to hit the gun, I will let Lin Qiushi go, just to test your ability!
When Ning Fan heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he was almost knocked unconscious by the pot thrown by Emperor Yu. Did he report a bunch of corrupt officials by himself?
Damn it, is this how your father deceives his son?
Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Yu finished speaking, the eyes of all the courtiers were focused on Ning Fan. Some were surprised, some had doubts, and some had deep eyes with a hidden luster!
"Replying to my father, I don't ask for rewards. It is my duty to be able to contribute to the court!"
"These corrupt officials who gave birth to sons without buttholes, their corpses have nothing to eat, they corruptly violated the law, and brought trouble to the government. They deserve death. I ask my father to severely punish these corrupt officials!"
"Everyone involved in the case will be dismissed from their posts and investigated. They will not be tolerated and will give an explanation to the people!"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, the ministers were even more astonished. Could this be said by a dandy who only knows romance?
Suddenly, many people looked at the superior with complicated expressions. Unexpectedly, this man actually invited a big dude to be a shield!
"Well, then according to what you said, I will order the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to handle the case strictly!"
"Father!"
Ning Fan took a step forward, glanced in the direction of the Minister of Punishment, and sneered: "These dog officials who gave birth to sons without buttholes have been able to bring trouble to Chao Gang for so many years, and the Punishment Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple didn't notice at all?"
"My father, the emperor, and my sons think that the responsibility for this crime does not lie with the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, or the Dali Temple!"
"Um?"
"What do you mean?"
"Reporting to my father, I, the Great Yu, have a Yushitai to supervise hundreds of officials. The Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple all have the power of supervision. However, despite this, it still created so many corrupt officials!"
"Is it possible that the officials at Yushitai and Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment are corrupt?"
"I don't believe it!"
Hearing that Ning Fan actually spoke up for them, all the officials from the Criminal Department looked surprised and also very puzzled!
"Then what do you mean..."
"Reporting to my father, I believe that it is not the fault of the adults, but that there is something wrong with the official supervision system of my Dayu!"
"All of you are colleagues, and it is inevitable that you will have some personal relationships on a daily basis. Sometimes you will naturally have some scruples and dare not report truthfully. Over time, this will lead to corruption!"
"My son suggested that it be better to set up another supervisory agency!"
"I will be directly responsible to you, Emperor Father. I will monitor the officials internally and spy on the military situation externally. In this way, I can not only alert you sirs at all times, but also strictly investigate the lawbreakers!"
Hearing Ning Fan's words, the expressions of all the civil and military personnel changed, and many people's expressions were astonished. It turned out that this was His Majesty's final intention!!
"Your Highness, are you exaggerating?"
Cai Ji came out of the queue and said: "It's just a few corrupt officials who want to start such a big war and even trouble your Majesty. I don't agree with it!"
