Above the Han Palace, Han Xin's words gave Liu Jibang some confidence.

These confidences have swelled Liu Jibang's ambitions.

"Okay, I think there is some truth in what General Han said, my Han Kingdom has already established itself in an invincible position, so what does it matter if we go out to test the Tang Kingdom, if we don't test it, we will never know the strength of the Tang Kingdom."

When Liu Jibang said this, the generals immediately became excited.

"What the Holy One has said is very true."

"What the saint said is right, you should go out and test the Tang army."

“…………”

The generals all praised Xiao He and Zhang Liang, but they smiled helplessly.

Excessive self-confidence is sometimes not a good thing.

But now that Liu Jibang and so many people in the court support a war against the Tang State, it is not easy for them to do something.

And the two of them have always liked to protect themselves, so in the face of this situation, the two of them did not continue to say anything.

"I ordered Han Xin to be the marshal, lead 80,000 soldiers and horses, and after everything is ready, attack Jiangcheng."

This matter, even if it is so decided.

The Han side is actively preparing for battle, because the winter in Shuzhong is not very cold, so they can attack Jiangcheng at any time, but Han Xin is not in a hurry, he still wants to see the situation in the Tang Kingdom, now, prepare grain, grass and soldiers and horses first.

And while the Han Kingdom was preparing for this, on the Tang Kingdom's side, Li Yu was busy with other things.

The cold winter weather is surprisingly cold in Chang'an City.

And just as he was facing up early that morning, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up.

"Holy Lord, the minister wants to impeach."

As the official of the Tang State, Wei Zheng's duty is to impeach, and his words are particularly familiar to many people in the court, and under normal circumstances, they can always hear Wei Zheng's words within two or three days.

In the past, everyone was still a little afraid of this sentence, but now, it is a little numb.

Therefore, after Wei Zheng said this, not only did Li Yu not feel anything, but also others didn't feel anything.

However, even if he didn't care, Li Yu still had to make some responses to Wei Zheng's impeachment.

"Oh, what is Wei Aiqing going to impeach?"

"Holy Lord, the minister wants to impeach Zhang Zhinian for embezzlement and bribery, and the amount is as high as 1,000 taels of silver."

When Wei Zheng said this, the ministers of the court and the central government looked slightly condensed, and then they began to discuss with each other.

If it's something else, you don't care if you don't care about it, but corruption and bribery are a big deal.

Throughout the ages, no matter that dynasty or that country, corruption and bribery cannot be tolerated, but some countries have severe punishments, and some punishments are relatively light.

Tang Guo has always attached great importance to this matter, but in the past few years, Li Yu has not been on the throne for a long time, and his main energy has been focused on destroying other countries.

However, now that Wei Zheng has brought it up, then this matter cannot be ignored and cannot be turned a blind eye.

Li Yu's eyebrows condensed slightly, corruption and bribery are a very serious matter for a country, these officials are the moths of the country, and they will slowly erode the entire country.

Li Yu glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Aiqing, you said that Zhang Zhinian was corrupt and took bribes, is there any evidence?" ”

"Holy Lord, there is evidence."

As he spoke, Wei Zheng submitted the evidence.

After Li Yu saw it, his expression had become a little cold.

"Zhang Zhinian!"

Li Yu snorted coldly, and this drink immediately made Zhang Zhinian fall to the ground in fright.

"Holy ......"

"I'm here to ask you, have you been corrupt or bribed?"

"Shengshang, wronged, this is all Wei Zheng wronged Weichen, Weichen is innocent, how can he say that he is corrupt and bribery?"

Everyone has the instinct to survive, and Zhang Zhinian is no exception.

And just after he said this, Li Yu suddenly became furious and shouted: "There is no corruption, now the evidence is conclusive, you are still quibbling here with me, do you think I am easy to deceive?" ”

"If you admit it honestly, I will spare you, and now you are not only unrepentant, but you also deceive me, come to someone, pull Zhang Zhinian out, and cut him down."

Li Yu's words give people the feeling of despair.

Originally, there were still some whispers in the hall, but now, it suddenly became very quiet, and no one dared to speak, Li Yu, this is going to kill.

Zhang Zhinian sat down on the ground in fright.

"Holy forgiveness, holy forgiveness, minister...... The minister is indeed corrupt, but the minister doesn't want to, and asks the saint to spare his life, the minister doesn't dare anymore......"

Zhang Zhinian kept begging for mercy, but Li Yu didn't let go, and soon, a guard rushed up and pulled Zhang Zhinian down.

After pulling Zhang Zhinian down, the hall was still very silent, because the sudden killing made them all very uneasy.

Corruption and bribery, but among those of them who are officials, who has particularly clean hands and feet?

It's just a lot.

They were worried, especially worried. At this time, Li Yu looked at the ministers and said: "I have been fighting outside in the past few years, and the governance of the superfluous court seems to be a little lax, but don't think that I won't take care of it, since we have brought up the matter of corruption and bribery today, then I will investigate it thoroughly, the officials, you are in charge."

All the officials in the DPRK and China have given me a check, and as long as they find that someone is corrupt, they will report it immediately, and if anyone dares to stop it, or play any tricks, I will not spare it. ”

After saying this, Li Yu waved his hand and retreated, he was very angry about this, and the ministers in the court looked at each other, and they all sighed a little.

"I'm afraid things are a little bad......"

Originally, if the court was not bad at taking bribes, they would definitely not be able to withstand the temptation, and they would take it, but now the court suddenly investigated, which stumped them.

What should I do next?

After the ministers went down, they were worried, but the officials immediately launched an investigation.

And after Li Yu returned to the imperial study, he finally showed a light smile.

He has always been looking for an opportunity to deal with Xiao Yan, this undercover agent sent by the Wei State in their Tang State must not let him live like this, so he must be killed, but he doesn't want to cause an uproar, so if he wants to kill Xiao Yan, there must be an excuse.

And embezzlement and bribery are just an excuse.

Li Yu has already asked the Red Whisk Girl to investigate, this Xiao Yan needs a lot of money in order to be able to do things more conveniently in the Tang Kingdom, but his money can't support the money he needs, so he is particularly fond of corruption and bribery.

According to the amount of money he embezzled, it was enough for his life. The whole thing was not specially arranged by Li Yu, it was just a coincidence, and now, he is taking advantage of Wei Zheng's impeachment to clean up Xiao Yan and some moths in the court.
