In the early morning of the next day, the group left Zhengqi Villa and rushed to the capital.

Although the number of people in the team is small, they are all elite Jinyiwei, and it is not easy to look at it.

Therefore, no bandit or robber dares to throw himself into the net.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the group trekked through mountains and rivers and finally arrived in the capital.

The capital is also known as Yujing, it is the capital of the empire, built more than 200 years ago, you can see the city wall from a distance, the city wall is dozens of meters high.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and many people carrying flat burdens, as well as some merchants, gathered in front of the city gate, waiting for the inspection of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

"I am a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, on the orders of His Majesty, escort the Qin prisoner Fu Tianqiu into Beijing, why don't you hurry up and get out of the way, can you afford to delay the emperor's order?"

The carriage drove to the city gate, and Jinyi Wei Qianhu took out a token to prove his identity.

But it was the news that Li Ge didn't want to return to Beijing by himself, and the trouble was known all over the city, so he let Jinyi Wei Qianhu act cheaply.

"Senhe-sama, please."

Seeing that the Jinyi Wei Qianhu looked domineering, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned sideways and drove the pedestrians away, so that the carriage could enter the city.

After a while, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate opened the city gate, and Li Ge and the others entered the city smoothly.

And after entering the city, the scene changed again.

Looking from afar, the city extends in all directions, the carriages and horses are full of chariots, people come and go, the river is endless, showing a particularly grand spirit.

Soon the group arrived at the palace, Li Ge took out the jade pendant he was carrying, and entered the palace smoothly.

The palace is resplendent in gold, and although it has endured more than 200 years of wind and frost, it is still timeless.

Then Li Ge went to see the emperor alone, and the emperor retreated, and no one knew what the two men had said.

…………

Chengtian Palace, the place of discussion.

"I've seen the prince......

Arriving at the Chengtian Hall one after another, the hundred officials were stunned when they saw Li Ge, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

In the past, Li Ge rarely went to court, almost once a month, but today Li Ge arrived early, no wonder the officials were so surprised.

"No need to be polite."

Li Ge nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

However, many officials, after seeing Li Ge, their faces changed slightly.

"The emperor drove to ......"

As the eunuch's words fell, the emperor wore a dragon robe and strode into the Chengtian Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live......"

The ministers hurriedly respectfully greeted him.

"Zhu Qing is flat."

The emperor flicked his hand and said lightly.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother has something to do......"

Li Ge took a step forward, immediately told about Zhuge Wolong, and recommended Zhuge Wolong as an official.

"Zhuge Wolong, I have also heard of it, Xuan Zhuge Wolong will meet you!"

After the emperor's words fell, an old eunuch hurried to the outside of the Chengtian Hall to announce the emperor's dictation.

"Caomin Zhuge Wolong, see Your Majesty."

After a while, Zhuge Wolong strode into the Chengtian Hall and immediately knelt down and saluted.

"You are Zhuge Wolong?"

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at Zhuge Wolong with interest.

"Although the imperial brother recommended you, I still have to test you to see if you have real talent and learning."

In fact, the matter of Zhuge Wolong, long before the last dynasty, Li Ge told the emperor, and now he is just playing a double reed.

After some careful research, Zhuge Wolong lived up to expectations, but the strange thing is that the emperor did not immediately canonize Zhuge Wolong.

Because there are only so many official positions, if Zhuge Wolong is canonized, other officials must be removed.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother still has something to do......"

Lige stepped forward again, a list in his hand.

"What?"

The emperor was not surprised at all, because he had already crossed the script with Li Ge long before the previous dynasty.

"Regarding the corruption and perversion of the law by some officials, please list all the people whose names are read by this king: Chen Qun, the secretary of the household department, Liu Yan, the secretary of the criminal department, and Li Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, ......."

Those whose names were read by Li Ge turned pale in an instant.

The most unbelievable thing is that there are three Shangshu corrupt and perverted the law in the six ministries alone, involving as many as hundreds of officials, big and small.

After all, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the country's finances, accepts local tribute, and even the national household registration and land decrees are also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households.

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged......"

The officials who were named knelt on the ground one by one and shouted injustice.

"If there is no evidence, do you think this king will move you? Bring the evidence up! ”

As soon as Li Ge's words fell, more than a dozen brocade guards walked in carrying three wooden boxes.

Those wooden boxes contained many things, most of which were ledgers, which were evidence of the corruption of the officials.

"In addition, there are also Liu Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and others who framed Fu Tianqiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War......"

But Fu Tianqiu refused to go along with them, and was framed by Liu Yan and others.

"Brother Huang, all the evidence is here......"

After Li Ge finished talking about Fu Tianqiu being framed, he bowed his hand to the emperor.

"Bring up the evidence."

The emperor's face was not very good-looking, although Li Ge had told him that the court would punish some corrupt officials and corrupt officials this morning, but he never expected that there would be so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

What made the emperor even more unbelievable was that Chen Qun, the head of the household department who looked like a loyal minister in the past, actually embezzled as much as 10 million taels of silver from the treasury.

"Your Majesty forgives ...... sins"

The facts are in front of us, and some officials have finally pleaded guilty.

But not all officials are like this, and there are a small number of officials who are stubborn and frame Li Ge for falsifying evidence.

"Come on, beat everyone into the Dali Temple ......"

The emperor trusted Li Ge very much, so he naturally did not suspect Li Ge, and immediately ordered all officials to be sent to Dali Temple.

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged......"

Amid the shouts of injustice, all the officials were escorted down.

The next thing is naturally the canonization of Zhuge Wolong, and the reinstatement of Fu Tianqiu's officials.

Originally, there was no official position, after all, there were many monks and few porridges, but now that hundreds of officials have fallen from power, they will naturally vacate their official positions.

Under Li Ge's recommendation, Zhuge Wolong was canonized as the head of the household, which can be said to be a step to the sky.

In addition, Li Ge has recommended some talents one after another.

Those talents are all people from the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and the people recruited by the Zhaoxian Pavilion are not only warriors and monks, but also scribes and scholars.

Many people who have real materials but can't show their ambitions have joined the recruitment hall.

And after Li Ge's rectification this time, the entire court was suddenly cleared.

Although I dare not say that there are no more corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the proportion of them is very small, and it is still the kind of crime that is relatively light.

However, Li Ge asked the Jinyi guards to stare at them, if those people did not repent and still committed crimes in disregard of the law of the country, then what awaited them was imprisonment.
