When everyone was feeling impatient and bored, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo slowly stood up and walked to the front. Seeing Wen Yanbo in action, all the officials instantly became energetic. They all stared at Wen Yanbo's back and raised their eyebrows.
My ears were waiting for Wen Yanbo to speak.
"I have something to report." Wen Yanbo held the wat tablet in both hands and bowed slightly.
Li Zhiyun nodded, "That's right."
Wen Yanbo said slowly: "Your Majesty, it has been more than a month since the major case in the south. The investigators have returned to Beijing one after another, and the criminals who committed the crime have been detained in prison. I am ignorant, and after reading the files, I privately thought that this matter should be
Please give your Majesty's instructions when handling it."
"Yes." Li Zhiyun said: "Since all the ministers are here, it is up to you to discuss how to handle this case."
"yes."
When the emperor opens his mouth, he can naturally start to give opinions or plead for mercy openly.
Wei Zheng first said: "Your Majesty, the southern officials colluded with local bandits to secretly persecute the people of the empire, ruined your majesty's reputation, and made it difficult for the imperial government to carry out local affairs. This crime is unforgivable. I believe that we should punish them severely and straighten out the rule of the southern officials. This is
"Fan, the officials have neglected their duties, and I request to resign."
Officials turned their attention to the big troll as soon as he opened his mouth. Many people even called Wei Zheng an out-and-out madman who would even kill himself when he went crazy. If you don't want to do it, just say so, why bother?
If you want to add some fire, your idle fire is not strong enough.
After Wei Zheng spoke, the Yushitai immediately followed up. To be honest, Wei Zheng's relationship with officials in the Ministry of Personnel may not be as good as his relationship with the Yushitai. Because he offended too many people in the Ministry of Personnel, and
It was very strict and the officials below were not allowed to get close to him. However, the Yushitai felt that Wei Zheng was born to be a censor, and he was suitable for those who were upright and upright every day.
After the Yushitai followed up, a large number of officials seconded the proposal and pointed the finger at various officials of the Southern Department. The attitude was very clear and planned to kill all the Southern officials. Naturally, among these people were the shadows of the Guanlong people and the Shandong gentry. They
After waiting for this opportunity for a long time, all that was missing was a beginning. Now the sage ordered hundreds of officials to discuss the matter. They immediately showed their bloody mouths to the southern officials and wanted to bite them to death.
When Li Chengzhao saw this posture, he felt a slight shiver in his heart and silently clenched his fists. Under the influence of Li Zhiyun, Li Chengzhao knew some things about the family. Now that he saw this scene, he silently recorded these people in his heart. As expected, even if he didn't move, his movements were astonishing.
.
Wei Zheng took the lead in the charge, Guanlong and the Shandong nobles were secretly trying their best, and Dugu Huaien had a comfortable smile on his lips. He didn't have to go down, he only needed to let his subordinates follow up, and he was responsible for defeating them at the critical moment.
For officials of the same level, just remove the obstacles. If he were to leave at this time, it would be really out of style.
The officials who demanded severe punishment far outnumbered those southern officials who begged the emperor for a lighter punishment. Seeing the opponent's situation, they were frightened and at the same time secretly resentful. They even complained that the emperor didn't open his mouth to suppress these arrogant Guanlong people.
Then, the two sides began to refute each other and quarreled. It is true that quarreling cannot solve the problem, but without quarreling, it will definitely not solve the problem. Moreover, without quarreling, how can the emperor know that the ministers are loyal to the emperor? Without quarreling, how can the emperor know that the emperor is loyal to the emperor?
How do they fulfill their duties? Therefore, quarrels are inevitable and necessary.
The two sides were quarreling fiercely. Although they were both restrained, the way they pointed at each other's noses and eyes with anger showed a strong tendency to roll up their sleeves and beat each other up when they disagreed. If the argument couldn't be resolved, the only way to resolve it was with fists. Fortunately this time
The matter did not allow them to make such a joke. The most important thing was that the generals did not participate and just looked at it with cold eyes.
Therefore, the two sides seemed to be relatively restrained and did not take any action to kill each other. Guanlong and the Shandong nobles were in a cooperative relationship in this incident. With their joint efforts, they quickly silenced the ministers who supported the southern faction.
Word.
Li Zhiyun saw all this, but he didn't stop him. He just watched them argue quietly. Occasionally, he would look at the prince's condition, and when he saw the latter's little face was tangled, he knew that his son was at this time.
I guess I can no longer hear what these people are saying.
After the southern officials were completely defeated, the palace became quiet, waiting for the emperor to make a decision. However, at this time, Li Zhiyun did not say anything to them. Instead, he said to the prince: "Prince."
"My son is here."
"Do you remember what the ministers just said?"
Li Chengzhao was about to blurt out that he remembered it, but after thinking about it, he honestly said to his father: "My son is dull and cannot keep up with what the ministers said."
The ministers nodded secretly. The prince is very honest, which is a good thing. I hope the prince can always maintain this honest temperament and never be like the emperor, who would be caught off guard once he gets angry.
But what they don't know is that the prince's honesty is only towards his father, the emperor, his mother, and the princess of Jinyang who is suppressed by blood. To others, Li Chengzhao always has a warm smile on his face. As for how real this smile is,
If it is false, then only he himself will know.
Li Zhiyun laughed and said to the officials: "The prince said that he didn't hear clearly. You guys can say it again."
Baiguan: "."
If this kind of request were placed on an ordinary prince, they would not pay attention to it. But the other person is now the prince, the future heir of the empire, so they must serve him carefully. If the prince said they did not hear clearly, then they must say it again.
Until the prince hears clearly.
Then, the same thing happened again.
This time, Li Chengzhao heard it clearly.
"Prince." Li Zhiyun asked again: "Can you hear me clearly this time?"
"My son, I understand this time." Li Chengzhao nodded, already prepared for his father's questions and his answers. In his opinion, since his father asked him to hear clearly what the ministers said, it must be a test.
he.
As a result, Li Zhiyun did not test him, but directly said to the officials: "What you all said is reasonable in my opinion. In this way, all the culprits will be the owl leaders, and their families will be scattered and enriched in Jiuyuan."
, major governor's offices in the grassland, Liaodong Road and other places. As for the bandits who occupied the mountains and looted, they were beheaded to show the public."
It is very simple to say, but it is not so simple to deal with it. The culprits here are not just the family members, but also thieves, officials, etc. And the relatives who migrate to the border include all the branches of the family who are contaminated with this matter.
In short, many people will lose their heads this time, many wealthy families in Jiangnan will be split up, and many officials will die unluckily.
He promised that the prime ministers could raise their hands a little, but his actions were not so gentle. He should be killed or exiled. Perhaps the only good news is that those accomplices whose crimes were not serious will not need to die this time.
, they will only be exiled to a barren land and start over. Moreover, they will have to be dismantled and completely dismantled.
Now the empire has expanded its territory enough to accommodate the children of the dismantled aristocratic families.
The benefits are self-evident. Immigrating these people in exile can not only scare the monkeys, but also suppress the southern aristocratic families. It can also fill the borders and take back all the original wealth and land of these aristocratic families. In summary,
