Chapter 20 Purple Training Card [Dragon Pattern Volume Collection]
The capital of the Yun Kingdom, the Royal Palace of Jiangling City.
Compared with the Zhongqing City Palace, which has been operated by the royal families of the Yun Kingdom for hundreds of years and covers hundreds of miles, the Jiangdu Palace in front of you appears slightly smaller due to the hasty construction time and insufficient land area of the palace.
A little more.
But this is not without its advantages. The palaces and pavilions in the palace are well laid out and every detail is exquisite and thoughtful. Compared with the Zhongqing City Palace, it feels so fresh.
In the Imperial Palace, inside the Daqing Hall.
Hundreds of officials gathered here, divided into two groups, civil and military, bowed to pay homage, and shouted long live the mountain.
Because Jiangling City is only a companion capital, not a new capital, the imperial palace here can only be regarded as a companion capital palace. Therefore, the names of the palaces and pavilions in the palace cannot be the same as those of the imperial palace in Zhongqing City.
This Daqing Palace, which is nine rooms wide and has a vast courtyard that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is the palace where hundreds of officials gather in the imperial palace!
Xiao Chengduan was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a black imperial robe and a twelve-stringed crown on his head. The strings were hanging down to cover his face, which made him look more dignified and mysterious, looking down at the officials in the palace.
"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"
Following Feng Bao's opening remarks, the queue of ministers, divided into two groups and saluting respectfully, immediately started to boil like boiling water.
Several officials stood up one after another, holding memorials in their hands and shouting loudly:
"I supervised Zheng Chi, the censor, and impeached Pu Botao, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, for colluding with his wife and brother, misappropriating public funds, and engaging in corruption and bribery!"
"I, Chenghong, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, impeached the current clan. Xiao Chengyan, the fifth son of the prince of Anyang County, got drunk and rode into the city, seriously injuring three people. His rebellion was unreasonable and his crime is unforgivable! The prince of Anyang County did not seem to be repentant, but he wanted to cover up and bribed
The Minister of Punishment, Guo Cai, caused his son to receive a light sentence. The Minister of Punishment, Guo Cai, attached himself to the clan and accepted bribes. His heart is worthy of death!"
"The minister Wai Lang Zhonglian impeached Zhang Hui, the imperial censor of Zuo Qiandu in Yushitai, and collected 150,000 taels of silver from Zhong Kai, the Chief Secretary of Yunyuan County, and intercepted and returned the memorial to impeach Zhong Kai, in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.
Yu Wuwu. The Chief Secretary of Yunyuan County, Zuo Shenzheng Zhongkai, oppressed the people in the local area and accepted bribes, which caused the people of Yunyuan County to be resentful. His crimes are too numerous to list. The sins of these two people are difficult to forgive. Your Majesty, please issue an order for a detailed investigation immediately!"
"I impeach the young minister of Taipu Temple..."
"The commander of the capital of Jiangyang County, Si Qianshi, used the soldiers of Jiangyang County as servants and used them for his own use. He invaded military fields and deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates. Your Majesty, please investigate in detail!"
…
Such a fierce impeachment involved people ranging from senior officials from the six imperial ministries to officials from the three local departments. The scope was extremely wide and terrifying!
Xiao Chengduan sat on the dragon chair with a cold and calm expression, as if he had expected it and did not look surprised or angry at all.
In fact, if it hadn't been for his nod, how could this great court meeting be so lively today?
Xiao Cheng wants to take advantage of this opportunity to rectify the corruption that has gradually emerged in the court!
Under the eyes, Xiao Cheng glanced at the officials, and then said calmly:
"The issue of He Shao, the governor of Guizhou and Guizhou, has not yet been sorted out. The ministers are impeaching people one after another today. But do you feel that Dali Temple is not free enough on weekdays?"
After hearing this, among the hundreds of officials, someone quickly stepped out of the queue, bowed and saluted, and said loudly:
"I, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, would like to report to Your Majesty. He Shao, the former prosecutor of Guizhou and Guizhou, has all the evidence of corruption and confessed his crime last night. A series of files, a confession, and a summary of the evidence have all been sealed and memorialized.
It has also been presented to His Majesty!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he glanced at Feng Bao beside him.
Seeing this, Feng Bao quickly dug out Zhidu's memorial from the memorials handed over by hundreds of officials and handed it to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng took it and took a look at it. He couldn't help but nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Well, the Dali Temple errand was done well this time! It's only been a few days, and He Shao has already made a confession."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng folded the memorial in his hand and continued to say in a deep voice:
"In this case, today's impeachment matter should also be handed over to Dali Temple."
Upon hearing this, Di Renjie, the minister of Dali Temple, quickly walked out of the queue, saluted with Zhi Du, and said loudly:
"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Tiren, the Minister of Punishment, could not help but step forward, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the officials impeached today involve officials from the six ministries, the Yushitai, and the three local departments. They are widely implicated. It is not appropriate to only use Dali Temple to investigate!"
Wen Tiren knew very well what attitude Di Renjie, the minister of Dali Temple, had towards his party members.
At this time, he was in charge of investigating corruption in the court. For Wen Tiren, that was just sending a knife into someone else's hand!
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he glanced at Wen Tiren slightly and continued:
"What Wen Qing said is not unreasonable! In this case, it is better for the three departments of punishment, imperial and temple to jointly handle this matter!"
Having said this, Xiao Cheng looked stern and shouted in a deep voice:
"Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple!"
"Song Ci, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, and Zhang Tang, the outside minister of the Ministry of Justice!"
"Censor Hai Rui, the censor of Zuo Du, the censor of supervision, Bao Zheng, and the censor of supervision, Zhao Yu!"
Several people whose names were called came out one after another, bowed to the ground, and said loudly:
"I'm waiting here!"
"Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple, is in charge, Song Ci, the Minister of Punishment, and Hai Rui, the censor of Zuodu, are in charge. I order you and others to thoroughly investigate the corruption in the court, and do not let it go to waste!"
"The East Police Factory, the Shangyu Preparatory Office, the local garrison, and the Sansi Yamen all cooperate with each other and are at your disposal. But if there is any negligence, we will never tolerate it!"
Xiao Cheng's cold voice echoed in Daqing Hall.
The people who were named shouted in unison again:
"O ministers, please obey the holy orders!"
All the officials in the palace looked at these people silently.
Di Renjie, Hai Rui and Song Ci, needless to say, these three are all people with outstanding abilities.
Di Renjie is incorruptible, wise, and very good at reasoning. Hai Rui is upright, sharp, and indestructible. Song Ci is good at collecting evidence, and clues cannot escape his eyes.
With three people as the main ones, it can be said that there is nothing in this world that is difficult to live in.
Zhi Du, Zhang Tang, and Zhao Yu were all low-level officials. They had never been in the imperial examination and had never been recommended. They rose up step by step because of their reputation for being upright and honest and ruthless in enforcing the law.
Only the last one, Bao Zheng, the supervisory censor, with a dark face, a solemn expression, and an imposing manner, was a bit unfamiliar to all the officials in the court.
Those who are well-informed only know that this person has just been transferred from the cabinet to the Yushitai to serve as the Yusheng. However, not many people know what his abilities are.
However, everyone in the world also knows that His Majesty has a keen eye and is best at recognizing and employing people.
There are countless people in the court, in the localities, and in the military who are now very light-weight and have outstanding abilities. When they were still white and their reputation was not obvious, they were discovered by His Majesty and rose to high positions.
Those who can be selected by His Majesty to go to the investigation together must be outstanding!

In the past two years, Xiao Cheng has drawn more than 20 cards, including several purple cards, and has accumulated a lot of talents in his hands.
Coupled with the imperial examinations in the past two years, the court has hired a large number of talents, and the tense situation of the Yun Kingdom court and local officials has finally eased a lot.
This is also the reason why Xiao Cheng dares to clean up the corruption in the court at this time without worrying about the shortage of court officials!

Xiao Cheng paused for a moment, glanced at the officials in the palace with different thoughts again, and continued in a deep voice:
"A thorough investigation of the officials involves six ministries, the Yushitai, the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and the three local divisions. The matter is of great importance, and it is inevitable that there will be obstacles. I will give Shang Fangjian to inspect the world on my behalf and punish the traitors and looters according to the law. If there is any disobedience,
Officials below the fourth rank can be killed first and then reported, with the imperial authority's permission!"
The so-called "Shangfang" refers to the official office that manufactures the utensils used by the emperor.
Among them, the sword was naturally exclusive to the emperor and became a symbol of imperial power.
As soon as Xiao Cheng finished speaking, three young eunuchs appeared, each holding a sword with divine light flowing in its scabbard but still showing its edge. The extraordinary-looking sword quickly walked towards Di Renjie, Hai Rui, and Song Ci.

A fourth-grade precious sword is rare in the world!
Taking it out at this time also shows His Majesty's determination to eliminate corruption in the country.
In the Daqing Hall, the officials looked at these swords that had been prepared with divine light flowing in advance, their brows could not help but beat, and their hearts were awe-inspiring.
This court, which had been stable for only a few years, was obviously about to usher in another bloody storm...
-------------------
At the end of the court meeting, the officials, each with their own thoughts, dispersed one after another.
But at this time, Xiao Cheng did not have any free time to rest, but immediately went to Chui Gong Hall.
The Chui Gong Hall here is equivalent to the Yangxin Hall of the Zhongqing City Palace.
Because Xiao Cheng had given instructions in advance before building the Jiangdu Palace, two rows of wing rooms were placed on the left and right sides in front of the Chui Gong Hall.
On the left is the office space where the cabinet members walk. On the right, are the counselors of the Military Aircraft Department.
The Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department finally have their own offices, and they no longer need to work in a palace together with His Majesty!
At this time, Xiao Cheng came to the Military Aircraft Department in person, and then summoned only the Ministry of War, important ministers of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, military generals in the court, and a group of counselors from the Military Aircraft Department to come together.
He also asked Zhao Yun, the Central Guard Army, to personally lead his troops to guard the outside, strictly guarding it, and prohibiting anyone from entering.
Compared with the Yangxin Front Hall, the new military aircraft office is more spacious. It is extremely huge at first sight, containing the map of the entire world, hanging in the most conspicuous place.
Next to it, there are several enlarged frontline maps hanging on the side.
On it, there is not only an extremely detailed and clear defense of the Yun Kingdom's army, but also Xia Kingdom's military arrangements on the front line. If the Xia Kingdom people saw it, they would be scared out of their wits.
Xiao Cheng stood in front of the map, looking at the offensive map planned by the Military Aircraft Department for several months, nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice:
"My military strategy is not as good as those of other ministers. Your plan will definitely be perfect. I don't need to worry too much...how are the other preparations?"
Zhuge Liang, the left minister of the Ministry of War, bowed slightly, stepped forward, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, all supplies and weapons are ready!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed and he shouted loudly:
"Okay! In that case, after the great heat, when the heat subsides, we will immediately raise our troops. This time, we will not retreat until we reach Jinling City!"
When all the ministers heard this, they immediately shouted in unison:
