Chapter 60 Decree on the Impeachment of the Officials

"It just so happens that Du Zhongyang has already mentioned that he can't imagine that the emperor's favorite minister, the important state officials and ministers, would actually fill his own pockets and use his power for personal gain, and this time he must be severely punished to set an example and deter the ministers. Long Dingtian said.

"Yes, brother, when you first ascended the throne, you just need a reasonable and well-founded thing to establish your authority, and investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials is the best means, not only to deter the ministers, but also to establish a good image among the people and get the support of the people!" Long Feixue supported.

"Although this Long Feixue is a woman, her knowledge is indeed extraordinary. Hua Shenguang praised in his heart, and secretly gave Long Feixue a thumbs up.

Long Feixue pursed her lips, as if to say, "This is a national event, what do you know?"

Hua Shenguang smiled noncommittally, and replied: "I know a lot more about national affairs than you." ”

......

Looking at the information provided by Du Zhongyang, one by one, it was shocking.

In 8984 of the Great Ping Calendar, ten five-grade officials in Fuhe Province collectively bought officials, used 30,000 taels of gold, and all of them were promoted to four-grade officials;

In 8986 of the Great Peace Calendar, the governor of Sanfeng Prefecture in Fengyuan Province was found to be corrupt by the Qincha and should have been exiled for thousands of miles, but after paying 8,000 taels of gold, he was transferred to another state;

In 8986, there was a great drought in Buerte Province, and the governor of the province, Ranranerte, privately withheld 400,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, which was discovered by Gao Ming and demanded 200,000 taels, and the two embezzled the appropriation.

......

Long Dingtian clenched his fists when he saw it, if Gao Ming was in front of him, he might kill him with one punch, and he couldn't relieve the hatred in his heart. Long Dingtian originally hated people who were corrupt and bent the law, but now that he saw this conclusive fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was now the son of heaven and wanted to maintain his demeanor, he couldn't wait to immediately send troops to raid his home.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't expect that Lord Gao would be so powerful, and he was really shocked that there was such a huge amount of money coming into his account every year!" Du Zhongyang sighed.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll do him!" Long Dingtian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said solemnly.

"Holy Lord, no, Gao Ming has been in charge of the Ministry of Decrees for a long time, and there are many party henchmen, and the whole body is affected by one shot, and the minister suggests that the Holy Lord should first visit the other five decrees, as well as the prime minister and other important members of the court, and obtain their support, and then it is not too late to do it. Du Zhongyang suggested.

When Hua Shenguang heard this, this Du Zhongyang was indeed thoughtful, and the Son of Heaven personally visited the door, giving the minister enough face, and then revealing his determination to eliminate corruption.

"Master Du is extremely reasonable, and the younger generation admires it!" Hua Shenguang listened to this and admired from the bottom of his heart.

Long Dingtian thought about it for a while, and felt that this was indeed a foolproof way, so he left first to visit door to door. If the previous Son of Heaven Longsheng was replaced, he would never be able to put down his posture and visit the minister. But Long Dingtian was originally unconstrained in personality and had the same personality traits as Hua Shenguang, so it was very common for him to visit the minister. In his heart, he doesn't have that kind of strong sense of monarchy and ministers, which is also what Hua Shenguang, who has come from modern times, admires very much.

As soon as the Son of Heaven left, Du Zhongyang looked at Hua Shenguang strangely: "Virtuous nephew, it's not simple, Hua Lao has already told me about you, I can't think of the younger generation, it's blue!"

"Lord Du enforces the law and serves the country wholeheartedly, which is an example for his nephew to learn!"

"Hahahaha......"

Long Dingtian quietly paid a private visit and visited the main ministers of the imperial court, which made them simply flattered. Except for the six decrees and the prime minister, some of the other ministers have never seen the saint once in their lives, but now, the newly enthroned Son of Heaven has come to their house, why can't they be moved?

Long Dingtian's move directly led to a sharp rise in his status in the hearts of officials, and the officials all felt that although the new son of heaven was young, it was rare to be corporal Lixian, and he must share his worries and solve problems for this new son of heaven in the future and govern the country well. This move has instead caused the effect of unintentionally inserting willows into the willows!

Poor Gao Ming is still kept in the dark, and he doesn't know that the catastrophe is coming. Officialdom is all dark, no matter how good the relationship with Gao Ming was before, after Long Dingtian's personal visit, everyone drew a line with Gao Ming in their hearts, and those who had improper transactions with Gao Ming in the past, when they heard the rumors, they tried to destroy the evidence. For a while, the officials in the capital were tense.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sun Haiyang frowned and paced back and forth. He knew the character of the new emperor, and when the new emperor was still young, he knew that the new emperor hated corruption very much. Once the emperor asked, "Dingtian, if you become emperor in the future and find out that someone is corrupt, what will you do?" "The child will throw him into the river and wash him away!" replied, Long Dingtian, who was only eight years old at that time.

Sun Haiyang knew that when the Son of Heaven came to the door, he must have secretly mastered the clever evidence. That indicates that Gao Ming's family is in imminent disaster, but his daughter is still in close contact with Gao Sheng, and she can't help herself when she falls in love. persuaded Sun Yueqing many times, but to no avail, Gao Sheng didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into her, making her die.

Thinking about it, Sun Haiyang didn't think of any good way, if the Holy Lord really wanted to investigate Gao Ming, then it was only natural to let it be, if something happened to Gao Sheng, his daughter should also break her mind.

The Son of Heaven went to court, and the ministers worshipped. Something to start, nothing to retreat!

As the voice of the celebrant fell, all the ministers were silent, because many of them, the Holy Majesty had just visited them, and they knew that in the last one or two early dynasties, if something big happened to the court, it was up to them to lift the veil on this matter.

After a short time of silence, Du Zhongyang came out and said, "The Holy Lord, the minister has this music!"

"Speak!"

"The minister wants to impeach the first-class member of the dynasty, and the official order is high!"

"What? Is this Du Zhongyang crazy? He even wants to impeach Master Gao?"

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that I am dreaming?" For a while, many unwitting ministers began to discuss in private, and a buzzing voice sounded in the hall.

And the ministers who had been visited by the Holy Majesty seemed a little calm, and they all thought, here, finally here!

"Prime Minister, it seems that this Lord Du has a lot to do with the Holy Lord. The Criminal Department ordered Qin Ming to whisper to Sun Haiyang.

"Yes, Lord Qin, but why didn't the old man find out that this Lord Du and the Holy Lord had any close connection before?" Sun Haiyang said and glanced at Qin Ming, as if reading each other's doubts from the other party's gaze.

Long Dingtian looked surprised and asked, "Oh, Du Aiqing, you actually want to impeach Gao Aiqing, which makes me so surprised, tell me, why do you want to impeach him?"
