Outside the majestic Liangyi Palace, there stood two columns of gold-armored warriors, swords, halberds and axes shining dazzlingly in the morning light.

In the main hall of the Liangyi Palace, the gold is splendid, a solemn sù mu, Li Er is sitting on the throne full of gems, bowing his head, staring at the prime meridian drawn with gold on the ground without saying a word, his brows are slightly wrinkled, he is sitting in a precarious position, without saying a word, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are standing in shifts, I don't know why I always feel that today's great court meeting seems to be a little different from the past.

"The ninth day of the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan will be held, and there will be something to start, and there will be nothing to retreat from~" A father-in-law in front of the hall shouted at the top of his voice.

Hearing his father-in-law announce the start of the court meeting, Li Er also slowly raised his head, but his face looked ugly, his eyebrows were locked, his lips were closed, and he glanced at the ministers with a majestic gaze.

"From the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I have tried my best to make the people of the world live a stable life, but I have recently heard that some high-ranking officials, who have become rich by building factories and trading, colluded with wealthy families and clans, and encroached on people's land, which is not tolerated by national law. However, there are people in the DPRK and China who accept bribes privately and help them to commit abuse, and they do such a bold thing with my trust in them! Li Er's voice resounded in the tall palace of officialdom, sending out a buzzing echo.

"Who?" "What's going on?" Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and use your eyes to convey these questions that no one can answer.

Quan Wanji secretly looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the expression on his face became a little exciting, he didn't expect that His Majesty would actually take this matter out at the court meeting to hold him accountable, and it seemed that the uncle and grandfather in front of him had a good life. It's coming to an end.

Li Er continued: "I heard. The greedy do not know how to love money. There is a lot of truth to that. Now, if someone takes bribes, once it is exposed, the official income will be lost, is this really a love of money? If a king is greedy, he will lose his kingdom, and his ministers will be greedy. and shall perish. In ancient times, King Qin Hui wanted to conquer Shu, so he carved five stone oxen, put gold on the buttocks of the stone ox, the Shu people saw it, thought that the ox could be gold, dragged the stone ox back to Shu, so, left a mark on the wasteland, the Qin army escaped this mark to Shu and won in one fell swoop. There is also a person named Tian Yannian. He was the great Si Nong of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the country's money, grain, gold and silver. took advantage of his power to embezzle and accept bribes of 30 million yuan, and he was defeated and died. Isn't this an ignorance of valuing one's own life? ”

Li Er's voice was very high, and he kept gesticulating.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji's forehead was slightly sweaty, because he always felt that Li Er's gaze on the throne was always glancing towards him intentionally or unintentionally, and every word he said seemed to be said to himself, which made him dare not look directly at Li Er's majestic face.

I only heard Li Er say again: "My Datang is changing with each passing day, and the money transactions are getting bigger and bigger, ten years ago, I felt that 100,000 guan was a huge asset for the treasury, but now, if I find a wealthy family in Chang'an City, my family's savings have already exceeded 100,000 yuan." From the beginning of honest work, holding the country's money with peace of mind, to now colluding with big households, taking bribes to make black money, I didn't feel anything before, but now it seems that what these people are doing is not only wrong for themselves, but also for the country, and they are bribed by others, they must be driven by others, or to dredge the joints for others, or to exonerate people from their crimes, or to provide convenience for others, once there is such a move, I will no longer be able to see the things that harm the country and the people, I will not be able to hear the voice of harming the country and the people, and I will not be able to perform my duties as an official, resulting in the confusion of black and white, the reversal of right and wrong, and the emergence of bad things, which will ruin my country and my foundation! ”

Li Er said so much in one breath without the slightest pause, the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and when he came to the end, he was almost close to roaring.

The eldest grandson Wuji was sweating hotly, trembling all over, and a wave of intuition told him that the person Li Er said was him, and he knelt down involuntarily: "Sinner...... The sinner's capital offense ......"

Li Er glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said in a mocking tone: "Are you the eldest grandson Wuji who helped me to conquer and made great achievements back then?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice: "I dare not take a humble position." ”

"As a secretary of the ministry, you are in charge of the power of selecting officials, can you know the importance of being an official?"

"First, we must be loyal and upright, but we must be honest and ......"

"So, what about you?"

"The humble position was confused for a while, and it made a big mistake, and he was willing to admit his guilt."

Li Er showed regret on his face, took a piece of paper from the eunuch on the side, and said bitterly: "Changsun Qing, I am sorry for you, I don't understand, the steel mill opened by the eldest grandson's family has a profit of more than one million yuan every year, you look at this letter of my order Dali Temple Shaoqing Dai Xuan investigation fold, it is clear that the number of people, amounts, and income of the steel plant are clearly written, you earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, but why did you buy you with only 10,000 yuan of money?" Just 10,000 yuan can buy off a high-ranking minister, and you can ignore your conscience, ignore the civil law, and exonerate the traitor? What if it's 100,000, 100,000? Can you give away this Tang Dynasty to others? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was ashamed and unspeakable, tears flowed horizontally, and said sadly: "The criminal minister is deeply disappointed, ashamed of being a courtier, and hopes to give the minister a chance to change his ways......"

Li Er's tone softened slightly: "If you can really benefit the country and the people, I can share the national treasury with you, why did you go on this path?" ”

Li Er turned his head to Dai Guan, who was investigating the incident, and asked, "Shaoqing of Dali Temple, what do you think should be done?" ”

Dai Xuan said: "Respect the holy will." ”

"What do you have to say?"

"Willing to bow to the law." The eldest grandson Wuji knelt on the ground and said.

Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling to walk out of the train: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson has contributed to the country, please forgive." ”

At this time, the left and right servants shot, Hou Junji, the general of the left guard, and Wei Chigong, the general of the right Wuwei, and others also stepped out of the squad to plead for the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The eldest grandson Wuji said bitterly, "Please don't have to intercede for the lowly duty, the lowly duty knows that the fault is deep, if you can warn future generations with death, be happy!" ”

And Li Er shouted: "Someone! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's head "boom", he seemed to hear the samurai's halberd clashing, and seemed to see the knife and axe hand holding the knife and rope walking towards him. The sword was shining, the blood was flowing, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Xu Yang looked at the big hall where chickens and dogs jumped, and stood in a corner of the hall by himself, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, sitting and watching the changes in the situation, what he was talking about was his current self, Li Er really finally obeyed his own Jianyì, Guiguzi This trademark, now in the court of Li Er's family, has an incomparably huge appeal and credibility.

The eldest grandson Wuji was in a haze, and suddenly heard Li Erlang say in a loud voice: "Give the eldest grandson Wuji five hundred taels of gold!" ”

It's like a dream, but it's clearly reality. When Eldest Sun Wuji opened his eyes, Li Er's cold and stern face had been replaced by a concerned smile, and the four waiters walked towards him carrying a huge box.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly got up and waved his hand again and again: "The sinners dare not accept it, the sinners dare not accept it!" ”

Li Er smiled: "Take it!" ”

The ministers were inexplicable, looking at each other, and the eldest grandson Wuji was even more puzzled. When his eyes touched the yellow, orange and orange gold, the eldest grandson Wuji was ashamed, his slightly dark face turned red, and his short beard trembled slightly: "The criminal violates the law, the crime deserves, he will die today, and he will die without regrets!" ”

Li Erdao: "Eldest Sun Qing, I remember that you once told me that there was a Hu merchant in the Western Regions who got a precious pearl, and he loved it like his life for fear of being stolen, so he put aside his stomach and hid the pearl. When you talked about this, you once laughed heartily, laughing that Hu Shang was too greedy for money, and died because of the pearl, you received gold to take gold, can you save the life of the whole family? ”

The eldest grandson was ashamed of himself, and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is guilty, he is also the minister around His Majesty, and the minister is really difficult to accept." ”

Li Er restrained his smile and said solemnly: "The bonus is not what I want to do, but Guiguzi advised me to do it, the purpose is to remind you all the time, don't forget the shame of collecting gold today!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji knelt down at His Royal Highness and replied respectfully: "The ministers should keep it in mind!" Never make such a foolish mistake again! ”

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and glanced at the civil and military officials, and said with a stern expression: "This time, in order to punish Changsun Qing, I will remove Changsun Wuji from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and at the same time ban his position as the director of the Datang Iron Works, and transfer him to Yuzhou as the assassin!"

Now open a factory, the people who are corrupt and take bribes, my Datang is not only Wuji, I have now sent all the imperial history to thoroughly investigate the states and counties around Chang'an, the imperial history investigation team has now gone deep into the civil investigation, collected report information, and collected evidence of corruption, this time, whether it is a family or a wealthy businessman, I will all be brought out, and then punished one by one, my Datang will never tolerate another person after the case of corruption and bribery! ”

"Your Majesty!" The hall was filled with a bunch of compliments......

The great court will be dispersed, civil and military officials are all out of the Liangyi Palace, many of them have ghosts in their hearts, now it is like a hundred thousand people rushing to the house, I heard that Li Er sent the imperial history investigation, those officials who have been corrupt and bribery are like being asked for their lives by ghosts, they are sincerely frightened, and they are extremely panicked......

On the Liangyi Palace, there are still a few people who have not left, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, Xu Yang is also impressively listed.

After all the officials came out of the Liangyi Palace, after a while, a small servant ran in from outside the main hall and said to Li Eryu: "Your Majesty, those officials who looked flustered and acted in a hurry have all been recorded. ”

Li Er nodded and said to him, "Focus on the investigation!" ”

"No." When the little guy had finished speaking, he bowed and stepped out cautiously.

Li Er turned his head and smiled at Xu Yang, "I wonder if it's okay for me to do what I did today according to the building of the Ghost Valley?" ”

"His majesty's acting skills are superb, and he is really the best actor in the world." …… (To be continued......)
