By the way, let’s not talk about this for now. The corruption case you investigated only yielded more than 60 million taels of silver. So where did the other tens of millions of taels of silver come from?
Why is this matter bad news?"
The emperor asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Father, as a minister of the court, as long as he commits a crime, he will be judged according to the laws of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"
“Only by ruling the country by law can the world be peaceful.
The ministers of the DPRK must take responsibility for their actions and abide by the law. If they dare to commit a crime, they will not only be sentenced according to the law, but also have an additional penalty."
A sly smile appeared on Situ Xinghen's lips:
"My father is indeed worthy of being a wise monarch. I am proud to have a father like you."
"hehe……
Okay, let’s stop being pretentious and tell the truth about what’s going on.”
"Yes, father. The corruption of ink in Yanqing City can be said to be the biggest corruption case in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
It is absolutely impossible for a small prefect to behave so boldly. In Yanqing City, in addition to corruption and bribery, he also took care of people's lives, took over people's property, and committed many evil deeds.
The reason why he is so unscrupulous is entirely because he has a very strong backing protecting him."
Although Situ Xinghen did not directly tell the truth behind this incident, the emperor had already vaguely felt that something was unusual.
"Hen'er, is it possible that some of the high-ranking officials in the DPRK are also involved in this corruption case?"
"Father, you are right. Now I am afraid that my father will protect me!"
Situ Xinghen has been unwilling to directly tell the truth about Grand Master Han Chutian's arrival, just to block the emperor's escape route so that he has no excuse to protect himself.
"Haha, of course, I believe that a wise king like my father will not protect his shortcomings. After all, this is related to the country and the country of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."
"Hen'er, you are right. As long as there is any behavior that endangers the country and the country of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, no matter who he is, I will investigate and deal with him in the most severe manner, and there will never be any favoritism."
"My father is so wise, he will definitely not do something like this.
Father, do you know Wan Zheng, the prefect of Yanqing City?"
