Chapter 881: Investigate and punish corrupt officials

When the prime minister heard that the household servant had said himself, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Back to the emperor, the minister was wronged, and the minister didn't know about these things."

At this time, in order to clear up the relationship, the prime minister glared fiercely at the squire of the military department, signaling that he would not have good fruit to eat.

Not to be outdone, the squire of the military department told him everything he said before leaving.

The ministers were speechless, they didn't expect this prime minister to be such a brazen person.

After Lu Li listened, he looked at the two people kneeling under the hall, and then asked the prime minister.

"Is there anything else the prime minister said earlier?"

Seeing that there was no room for explanation at this time, the prime minister admitted the crime.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoman couldn't make him feel better, and then began to add fuel and vinegar.

"I didn't expect the prime minister to be one of these people, and the minister wanted to participate in other things for him."

Lu Li saw that Su Xiaoman spoke again, and it seemed that his wife wanted to kill him, so he asked.

"What's wrong with the prime minister, Su Aiqing said."

After Su Xiaoman got the consent, he looked at the prime minister who was sitting on the ground, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind, and said with a cold snort.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister was too pretentious on this trip, and when he arrived in a clean place, he often scolded the local prefect."

Su Xiaoman was already blackened, after all, some people have been questioning her since she became an official.

Now whenever she finds someone working against her, she will put those who have done her to death.

Su Xiaoman looked at the prime minister with a mocking expression on his face, and then said.

"Being an official is an example of being honest, but I didn't expect that when the prime minister saw that no one greeted the coarse tea and light meal, he looked disgusted and scolded the court officials, and when he arrived at the corrupt prefect, he praised people very much for a little good food and drink."

The more Su Xiaoman spoke, the more excited he became, and then said.

"Is this the work of a clean official? Pan Yan attached to the situation, paid attention to the superficial things, the people ignored the disaster, and you were present at the distribution of earthquake relief items? ”

When he said this, Su Xiaoman was already speaking to the prime minister, and issued a conscience condemnation.

"You don't care about the people at all, you only care about yourself, as long as you are high, the lives of the people are not important at all."

The prime minister didn't have a little temper when Su Xiaoman said, and if someone accused him like this, he would definitely turn his face.

But at this moment, this situation is indeed his problem, so he can't say a word.

Lu Li saw that something was wrong with Su Xiaoman's situation, so he spoke up and began to stop it.

"Su Shangshu, this is above the court, please pay attention to your wording, the situation is really understood, you calm down."

The ministers looked at the scene of Su Xiaoman accusing the prime minister, and their hearts were very happy.

This prime minister is usually very unlikable, but now it's too late for everyone to see the jokes.

Su Xiaoman heard Lu Li's voice, and the lost reason gradually came to his senses.

After realizing his abnormality, Su Xiaoman began to organize his posture, and then said.

"Things

The minister has already explained clearly, please ask the emperor to investigate. ”

This matter has been debated in the court for a long time, and Lu Li no longer wants to see them rampant, so he said according to the plan discussed yesterday.

"This matter has already been resolved, and now the household servant is pressed into the prison, and General Li will lead people to search for the hidden silver in the household servant's mansion."

Li Ran heard the emperor's words, and then stepped forward to receive the order.

After Lu Li saw his order, he added.

"After the search, all the money was transferred to the state treasury. According to the attitude of the Tobe squire to explain the matter, it will be decided in the future. ”

All the ministers replied yes, and the soldiers were ordered to take down the Tobe squire from outside the gate.

Tobe Shirou knew that he had no way out, so he left them at their disposal.

Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li, and there was still some warmth in his heart, only he could defend himself at this time.

Lu Li saw Su Xiaoman looking at him, so he looked at her, and then gave the following order.

"For the prime minister, flattery is unclear for officials, good at jealousy and premeditated slander, removed from the position of prime minister, and pressed into prison to wait for torture."

After Lu Li finished speaking, the soldiers in the hall came to suppress the prime minister.

At this time, the prime minister still had a stunned expression, he didn't expect him to have such a day.

Lu Li actually didn't like these old ministers of the previous dynasty, and now Su Xiaoman was helping him clean up the garbage of the previous dynasty step by step.

After the prime minister was taken down, Lu Li arranged for a trusted general to let him go and seal the prime minister's mansion.

Then Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman and the squire of the military department and spoke.

"In this earthquake, Su Shangshu and the military department squire have a very good understanding of the situation, and the matter of the prefect's seizure will be handed over to the military department squire."

After the military department Shangshu got the instructions, he stepped forward to answer the order, and then quietly retreated and waited quietly for the next thing.

Lu Li suddenly thought of something, and then said to the squire of the military department.

"This time, I will bring more people, and we must rescue the people, and the rest will be exiled."

The soldier squire heard Lu Li's words, and then stepped forward.

"If you obey your orders, you will complete your mission."

After the matter was settled, Lu Li announced his retirement from the dynasty, and the recent events have gone through too long.

After such a long time, the civil and military officials were also very tired, so they hurriedly retreated.

After the next dynasty, Su Xiaoman did not go to find Lu Li, so he took Huang Fengyi to Lu Mansion.

As soon as the matter of the prime minister came out today, all the officials in the court and the central government did not dare to provoke Su Xiaoman.

Not daring to mess with her is one aspect, and the prime minister has been retributed, which makes people who are usually not used to him gloat in their hearts.

Usually this prime minister looks high, but now that he has been punished, of course everyone is happy.

But there are still a group of people who are frightened, after all, they are usually better with the prime minister, and now the prime minister is very afraid of sending him to his head after he falls.

After Lu left the court, he sat down in the upper study, and after Su Xiaoman's incident this time, he responded to the court

It's time to be able to change blood.

The eunuch beside Lu Li saw that he was so tired, so he stepped forward and said with concern.

"Your Majesty, this is tired, and the little ones have nothing to help with."

Lu Li looked at him, he had already planned him to be his own person, and then told what he thought.

"As soon as the prime minister's matter comes out this time, it will definitely set off a storm in the DPRK and China, and if it can't be done for a long time, there will be a big change of blood among the DPRK and China."

The little eunuch listened to the emperor's words, and the emperor was also happy in his heart, after all, the emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, and it is very important to be able to stabilize the form of the DPRK and China.

The little eunuch stepped forward to rub the emperor's shoulders, and then said while rubbing.

"This is indeed a good thing for the emperor. There should be a lot of officials in the prime minister's party, and it is also excellent to change them. ”

Lu Li felt the comfortable massage, and then squinted his eyes and said.

"Yes, it's really a good thing for me, and it's really good that the idle officials have a place to arrange."

As soon as this incident happened, it was a double win, and Lu Li recognized Xiao Man even more in his heart.

If it is true that his wife is the best, it may be that he has a beautifying function in the eyes of his lover, so Su Xiaoman is very beautiful in Lu Li's heart at this time.

When Su Xiaoman returned to Lu Mansion, he finally put his mind at ease, and as soon as today's incident came out, he would not be slandered.

Not only will he not be slandered, but he can also investigate and punish some officials who are not honest enough, so that Donglanguo can be more cohesive.

Su Xiaoman, who had not been seen for a long time, began to enjoy his leisure time, and in the company of pearl pandan, Su Xiaoman enjoyed the sunshine.

Take advantage of the fact that the weather is not completely cold to join, and bask in the sun in the yard.

Li Ran's speed is very fast, because he has secretly investigated the mansion of the household servant before, so he knows the situation inside very well.

Li Ran ordered a few trustworthy men to search those places he knew.

Sure enough, a large number of silver taels were found, and those silver taels were more than the amount of embezzlement.

At the same time, the generals who seized the Prime Minister's Mansion also greatly developed a large amount of dirty silver, and also troubled the records of relevant officials, and reported them to the emperor.

The squire of the military department also began to act after the next dynasty, and led the troops to the corrupt city again.

In the afternoon, Lu Li got the news of Li Ran and the general, so he ordered someone to torture the prime minister and the household servant.

The two of them knew the consequences when they were in the court, and they didn't ask for anything at this time, so they admitted their evil deeds over the years.

Lu Li didn't care about embezzling the money of the previous dynasty, but this year's amount is enough to make them get out.

In the end, seeing the sincerity of the two people, the emperor ordered the mansion to be sealed, and the two were dismissed from their official positions, and they were released from Shangjing and were not allowed to enter Shangjing forever.

And children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the court as officials within three generations, Lu Li has done his best this time, and it is already very merciful not to give them the death penalty.

After the two got the news, they hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness, and they were really lucky that there was no death penalty.

After the exile of the two, the emperor stepped up the investigation and punishment of officials who went to Beijing again.

Each of the imperial court officials was inspected, which was roughly a walk-around form, after all, the official didn't have any silver or anything like that at home.

The people who were affected by the disaster were a group of former prime ministers, and after they found out, everyone was dismissed by Lu Li and was not allowed to go to Beijing.

Many vacant seats were vacated in the DPRK and China at once, and those who should be promoted were promoted, and the remaining positions were arranged among the officials who had been idle before, and the order of the DPRK and China was well contested.

Although all the official positions have been newly contested, Lu Li has not arranged manpower for the position of prime minister.

After all, he wanted to give it to Su Xiaoman, and now it was too hasty to let Su Xiaoman take up the post at this time, so Lu Li didn't arrange it.

The officials in the court all knew that the emperor had this thought, but they were all a little unconvinced.

But Su Xiaoman can't be provoked, if the emperor really accepts her fate, the officials won't say anything.
