Since Emperor Gaozong succeeded to the throne, he has rectified the rule of officials and eliminated corrupt officials, not to mention that gifts between officials and officials are not allowed.

Embezzlement of disaster relief money is an unforgivable crime.

Tang King Li Muchen quickly hated corrupt officials, and his methods of dealing with corrupt officials were extremely simple and rude, with only one word - kill.

Corruption is still like this, not to mention the corruption of disaster relief silver taels, this is the imperial court to help the victims of the silver taels, once corruption, there is no upper limit, strict investigation, any officials involved, will be dismissed and investigated, no mercy.

Above the court, King Yu investigated the content of this time. All of them are detailed in the memorabilia, although not all of them are true after the recital.

But the result is not distorted, but only a little added to the process of the account in the middle.

After reading the recital, Li Muchen's face had already changed, and there were only two words written on that handsome and terrifying face, "anger", and that wordless anger turned into an impulse to kill.

No one in the court dared to raise their heads. Even Song Rubing's henchmen didn't dare, they knew better than anyone how much anger King Tang had in his heart?

The reason for this is that it may be clearly recorded in three words, and King Yu wrote the reason for the investigation in several volumes, and after he read it word by word, it finally broke out.

King Tang grabbed the thick stack of folds and threw them all on the ground. Pointing to King Yu and saying, "King Yu, is there anything to hide?" ”

King Yu was also taken aback, he was ready for King Tang to be angry, but he didn't expect it to be so thunderous and angry, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

"Back to Your Majesty, all the facts contained in the fold are true, if there is the slightest concealment, the minister voluntarily takes off the black yarn on his head, gives up the identity of the prince, and goes back to his hometown to find a place to farm."

Hearing him say this, it should be true, what does King Tang know about King Yu's virtues? King Yu thinks that he likes the title and official position the most, and if he can let him say this kind of thing, it will not be fake, but he can't be fully trusted, after all, this kind of person can't be fully believed.

Tang Wang's face was not very good-looking, and he said angrily: "King Yu, you come and tell me, how many officials are involved in the case in Wuzhong this time?" ”

King Yu stepped forward, turned around respectfully, reported the situation according to Shengming, and said: "Listed as ministers, there are a total of 48 officials involved in the case in Wuzhong this time, including 10 officials above the fourth grade, 25 officials above the sixth grade, and as many as 100 people involved in the corruption of the disaster relief silver. ”

After King Yu finished speaking, Li Muchen looked at the hundreds of people in the court, and said angrily: "The ministers have heard it, right?" Hundreds of people participated in this corruption case, and the imperial court's disaster relief money is the money to relieve the lives of the people, and they dare to embezzle? Such a bold act should be blamed even if they die. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, these corrupt officials deserve to die, but if they are angry, they are not worth it."

"Anger? How do you let me calm my anger? These moths are no longer so simple as corruption, they are embezzling silver, which is the life money of the people, and such behavior is undoubtedly taking money from the dead. ”

In the natural disaster a few years ago, the silver allocated by the imperial court was only a few taels of silver among the people, and those old, weak, sick and disabled were all killed by them.

All the rest of the money was filled into their own pockets, and went into their own purse.

King Tang looked at the outrageous and angry things in the compromise, and he hated that a thousand knives of those corrupt officials were not enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"They are bloodsuckers, these people are not greedy for money, they are the foundation of the Tang Empire." Li Muchen said, "Those who have attained the Tao are more helpful. The unrighteous are helpless, the people's hearts have been lost, and the empire is also dying. ”

Corrupt officials embezzled disaster relief money, and even slaughtered the people, and their crimes are unforgivable.

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's investigation, a total of 2.53 million taels of gold and silver were involved, of which more than 2,200 were killed by the government."

This figure is not recorded in the memoir, because there is enough to be said, and it is difficult to write down such a staggering figure.

The exact number of people involved in the relief effort in Wuzhong is not recorded.

After hearing this, King Tang couldn't help but exclaim: "You say it again?!" ”

Two and a half million taels of silver? Slaughtered more than 2,000 people? That's a terrible number.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is said to have only been obtained from the accounts, I am afraid that the real data still has a lot of moisture, and even some people in the statistics deliberately did not register in order to make profits from it."

Syllable!

Tang Wang couldn't sit still anymore, he slapped the case angrily, wanted to scold, wanted to beat people, and wanted to kill people, he slammed the cup in his hand on the ground.

The ministers of the court were all trembling, and many people couldn't remember the last time King Tang had such a big fire, and many people were even more frightened and sweating.

And King Xu had long known that this would be the case, so he had already taken a leave of absence from home.

"Where's King Xu?"

King Tang's gaze swept around, but there was no trace of him.

Chandfa stepped forward. He whispered: "Your Majesty, King Xu occasionally felt a cold and had to rest in the mansion when he was sick." ”

"Hmph, he's really sick." Tang Wang's words seem to mean something else.

King Yu could hear it clearly, hear it clearly, and knew that King Tang was alluding to King Xu's poor use of people. Most of the officials in Wuzhong are Xu Wang's people, and now that this kind of thing has happened, he, who is the master, is to blame.

In that year, there was a famine in Wuzhong, and officials in Wuzhong filled their pockets and embezzled huge amounts of silver. How could he not know that he was the master of slaughtering innocent people?

Tang Wang also came from a young age, and experienced too many political whirlpools, factions in the court, and party disputes. Fight openly and secretly, you live and die.

However, the holy monarch has never been afraid of party strife, but will take advantage of it, and use party strife to control party strife, and as a king, it should be the balance between the two. In order to contain the other party.

But now, one of the parties has completely angered him, and he has violated the moral bottom line that King Tang abides by in his heart. He must be sanctioned deliberately.

"King Yu!"

"The minister is here!"

"Can we investigate and eliminate the number of officials involved in this incident?" Tang Wang said.

When the emperor asks this kind of thing, smart people have already guessed the result, where is this questioning. It's basically the sentence before death, the talisman of King Yama.

"Your Majesty, this ......"

King Yu was naturally impatient to confess all the officials involved in the court, because most of the people involved were King Xu's protégés, but he couldn't show that he was very happy. It's urgent.

But he has to show that he is very embarrassed, and if he wants to say goodbye, he looks a little far away from betraying them, all thanks to his acting skills.

Sure enough, I only heard King Tang say: "King Yu, I ordered you to speak." You are not allowed to have any concealment, let alone intercede and cover up for them, you know?! ”

"Minister...... Obey orders!! King Yu said hesitantly.

"Say!"

King Yu pretended to hesitate for a moment before he said: "There are five officials involved in the case this time, they are Chang Ming, the head of the household department, Zhang Zuliang of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Wang Xian of Sinong Temple, Nalan Ruo, the supervisor of the capital water, and Li You, the general of Shence. ”

After telling these five people one by one, King Tang immediately ordered: "Someone!" ”

Li Junxian said: "The last general! ”

"Lead a Royal Forester. Go to the mansion of these five people and arrest them all. Tang Wang said.

"Yes!"

After Li Junxian received the holy order, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly led his troops to their mansion to arrest him.

At the same time, above the court, the atmosphere was still quiet and terrible, the emperor didn't speak, they all bowed their heads, and didn't dare to say anything, for fear of catching fire.

"King Yu, you told me the truth, did you forget to say someone?" Tang Wang asked.

The head of the household, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Sinong Temple, the Metropolitan Water Supervisor and the Great General of Shence. These five people are all King Xu's people, but King Yu bypassed King Xu and only said these five people, which can't help but make people think more.

These people are all slaves, without the permission of their masters, they dare to act on their own? Obviously. It's impossible.

King Yu is a performer, once again exerted his acting skills, showed the words to his mouth, swallowed again, and said: "Please show your majesty, I really don't know what I have forgotten?" ”

It's not that King Yu forgot something. It's that he can't say it, and if it comes out of his mouth, it will inevitably attract criticism and gossip from others, and what King Yu excludes dissidents, mutilates siblings, and so on, and so on, even more abounds.

The ministers understand, how could Tang King Li Muchen not know the little Jiujiu in his heart? It's just that everyone knows it.

"I said that. There is no cap, anyone involved in this case, I will not tolerate it, it will be severely punished, do you understand what I mean? Tang Wang said.

Saying this, everyone knows that this time, King Tang is really angry, what is the upper limit? At the top, it is the princes and nobles, and smart people can hear the meaning.

"Do you remember anything now?" Tang Wang asked.

King Yu said with trepidation: "Your ...... It seems like...... I remember part of it, but it's just ...... I forgot about it again. ”

"Forgot again?"

King Tang understood what he meant, it was nothing more than wanting a reward, this kind of thankless work could not be done in vain, Li Muchen said: "Order, this time King Yu has merit, reward one hundred taels of gold, and give eight pearls to the prince." ”

Prince Bazhu!

This reward is not small. Now King Xu and King Yu are both princes of Qizhu, and now there is one more pearl, but it is amazing.

More important than thousands of dollars.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

"King Yu, do you remember it now?"

King Yu said: "The memory has been restored, and among the people involved in this case, there seems to be a senior member of the court. ”

"Who is it?"

"King Xu Li Sujie." King Yu said.

Although King Tang already knew. It still feels angry when it sounds, and says: "Pass the decree, put King Xu in the heavenly prison, and choose a day to try this case." ”

"What about the other officials in Wuzhong?"

"All dismissals, beheadings after the autumn!!"
