"And what is our chance?" asked an official in an ochre robe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Furong Garden Spring Banquet Case!" Wu Dan replied, he said: "We have discussed carefully, we must show our swords, so that those who despise the laws of the imperial court can see blood, that is, the common people often say that killing chickens and monkeys......! We have studied that the Furong Garden Spring Banquet case involved many government offices, many people involved in the case, and the money they reached out to embezzle this time was raised for the relief of the victims, which is very sensitive and can easily arouse people's attention and indignation. If the people involved in the Furong Garden Spring Banquet case are severely punished, the people's hearts will be greatly happy! Not only can they alleviate the worries of the empty treasury of the imperial court, but they can also rectify the rule of officials, and they can also unite the people's hearts.

"But the prince, have you ever thought that most of the people involved in the case this time are from your East Palace?" the queen asked leisurely, feeling a little meaningful.

Wu Dan smiled slightly and replied respectfully: "Erchen has thought about this question a long time ago. After saying that, he bowed to the emperor and said excitedly: "It is precisely because it is from the East Palace that Erchen will make a request for a heavy punishment, and Erchen will ask himself to deal with this case himself." ”

"Are you here in person?" the queen was stunned and asked abruptly, "Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in your East Palace?"

"Don't be a moth-eater. Wu Dan replied loudly.

actually took himself under the knife, which shows how determined Wudan is to rectify the corruption in officialdom!

actually took himself under the knife, which shows how determined Wudan is to rectify the corruption in officialdom!

"Good!" The emperor was moved by Wu Dan's determination, and he patted the shore and said happily: "The prince can have such determination, I am very relieved!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

The queen, the Seven Princes and Wang Qingluan shouted.

"You don't have to say any more. The emperor raised his hand to interrupt the words of the three and said, "I have made up my mind, so I will accept the words of the crown prince and the crown princess." ”

"Father Emperor Shengming!" Li Chengxiu and Wu Dan were overjoyed when they heard this, and they bowed their heads with several officials behind them: "The sons (ministers) are willing to go to the soup for their father (Your Majesty), and they will not give up!"

The emperor stroked his beard and smiled with a smile full of relief, but Li Chengxiu was guessing that he was not necessarily moved by Wudan's pure heart, but in fact, he had some calculations in his heart. First of all, he himself knows that the current corruption situation in the imperial court is serious, and the imperial court has gradually lost the support of the people, and if the world is not rectified in time, there will be great changes sooner or later. Secondly, the emperor had the idea of rectifying corruption, but he had not made up his mind, and he was worried about the prevalence of corruption in the imperial court, and he was afraid that the backlash of the court officials would cause more serious consequences than now. Even if the goal of "setting an example to the monkeys" is not achieved, at least the chicken can be killed, on the one hand, it can comfort the hearts of the subjects of the world, and on the other hand, it can also fill the treasury! As for the court officials, they still have to rebound...... The method of "reconciliation" proposed by the prince can also be used here.

As for the queen, in Li Chengxiu's view, all her concerns came from the Wang family, and Wang Qingluan was involved in the case, and she was afraid that she would be involved and make the Wang family fall into the mud. However, under Wudan's determination, the empress should feel that her reasons are very weak, not to mention that the emperor has agreed to Wudan's suggestion. Even if it is to avoid humiliating herself, in order not to drag herself into this quagmire, the queen should no longer object. What's more, Li Chengxiu gave a reminder before, "The sins are all committed by Prince Yin and Yuanji, since they have been ambushed, they should no longer implicate their henchmen...... Wang Qingluan is just an innocent person who has been instructed by others.

Wu Dan's idea is: "First deal with the people involved in the Furong Garden Spring Banquet case with heavy punishments, and then summon the whole world to ban all corrupt behaviors from now on, and those who can stop it in time will not be blamed, otherwise the previous account and the back account will be counted together!"

The Emperor readily agreed and expressed his full support.

……

The emperor felt that since he had made up his mind, there was no need to wait until the palace to make an order, and immediately, in the wine shop, he issued a decree and ordered Wudan to deal with the "Furong Spring Banquet Corruption Case".

There are two reasons why it is a central decree, one is that the soldiers are very fast, and the emperor wants to bypass the procedures agreed upon by the three provinces; and the other is that most of the people involved in the "Furong Garden Spring Banquet Corruption Case" are royal domestic slaves, and the implementation of the central decree can better control the situation and reduce the nervousness of some courtiers.

The emperor's personal guards held the gold medal in their hands and ran out of the wine shop shouting all the way, and the people in and out of the wine shop waited until they learned that the big guests of the gang upstairs were actually the emperor and the crown prince! In addition to being shocked, they also heard that the emperor had issued an order to punish corruption, and for a time the people kneeling on the ground inside and outside the wine shop shouted: "My emperor is Shengming!" Some people who had suffered so much from corruption were even more excited that they fell to the ground and wept. It can be seen how much the people hate the corrupt wind of officials!

The corrupt wind of officials is extremely foul, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have suffered from it for a long time, and today the emperor issued a holy decree to punish corrupt officials, which is like spraying a fresh air note, how can the people of the Great Zhou not rejoice?

Following behind Wu Dan, Li Chengxiu walked downstairs with her skirt, looking at the excited faces of the people who fell to the ground, and listening to their shouts of "Long live" and "Shengming", her heart was stirred. This is the people of China, who have been so pitiful and lovely since ancient times, just be a little kind to them, and they will treat you as a god. - Now, the emperor is a god in their eyes.

didn't wait to return to the palace Wudan was busy, and Li Chengxiu, who was the crown princess, naturally didn't have to be idle. Most of those women in Wudan were involved in the case, and Li Chengxiu had to go back to deal with it. Of course, Li Chengxiu, who has always adhered to the consciousness of "I am an outsider", will not make decisions without permission, and how to deal with those women has to be decided by Wudan.

For those women, Wu Dan didn't seem to have any feelings, and everyone involved in the case was punished severely and mercilessly! Even Yang Liangdi, who had a daughter by her side, was demoted to Zhaoxun and lived in seclusion in the Eight Winds Palace.

Li Chengxiu watched from the sidelines, his heart was quite complicated, on the one hand, he felt that Wudan was fair and selfless, and on the other hand, he felt that Wudan was too ruthless, so he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of investigation and handling, it was found that Concubine Gao was also involved, and Concubine Gao was deposed from the position of Concubine and sent to the Eagle Harrier Courtyard to raise birds.

In half a day, the Wudan harem was almost empty, and I don't know how many families were happy and a few were worried.
