"Liu Yanchi's affairs must be best known to you, as a county marquis, he doesn't want to benefit the people, but he relies on the backing of the mountain, is extremely greedy, collects miscellaneous taxes, wantonly loots people's wealth, and robs countless people's daughters. He even reprimanded the state officials who drove them to investigate the case, which made the local people miserable and complained about our royal family. And all this happened only a few hundred miles away from my capital, leading to the throat of the Eastern Wilderness - Nanchong. Until five days ago, I was kept in the dark. There were no less than dozens of complaints from the people there, but they were all suppressed by Geng Lin, the minister of the Criminal Department, who was threatened and intimidated in every way. If it weren't for the third child who got the secret report and told me, hum, Nanchong wouldn't know how it would have been ruined. Third, tell me how to deal with this case?"

"Yes, Father. Erchen also got the news more than ten days ago, in order to avoid startling the snake, Erchen secretly sent people to search for some evidence of Liu Yanchi's crime, and after learning that it was true, three days ago, Erchen hurried to Nanchong, and sentenced the first offender Liu Yanchi to be punished, and handed over to the local people to whip the corpse, in order to vent the anger of the people. All 14 of his henchmen were hanged. It's just that...... It's just that...... Its backer ............. Long Fang was so reluctant to go on.

"It's just that Liu Yanchi's backer can't be dealt with or has no right to deal with it?" Long Ao clenched his fist behind his back and asked faintly.

That's exactly what Erchen meant. This is the only way to do that. This matter can only be investigated by the emperor himself. ”

"Okay, fourth, how do you think Liu Yanchi's backstage can be handled to conform to the will of the people?" Long Ao's face at this time did not show the slightest anger, and turned his gaze to Long Zhan and asked lightly.

"This ...... This............. Just hearing the pop, Long Zhan was already sweating like rain, and his legs were weak and he knelt down. And kowtow more than once.

"The sons know that they are wrong, their father spares their lives, and the sons know that they are wrong, but the sons and daughters do not check the use of people, which has ruined the prestige of my Long family. The son should die, and I hope that my father will forgive the son again this time, and the son must think about it behind closed doors and strictly govern his subordinates. Promise never to happen again............"

"That's enough......" Long Ao was furious, and smashed the armrest of the couch chair with one palm. Huo Ran stood up, pointed at Long Zhan, and scolded. It seems that it has been enduring for a long time, and now it has finally swept in like a roaring sea.

"Long Zhan, have you done less bad things? Chen Yonghe, the governor of Shuozhou who was executed by me six years ago, is also one of your people? He pretended to be a clean official during the day to handle and investigate the case, and at night he revealed his murderous appearance, secretly developing a criminal who committed many crimes, robbing homes and houses, and ** women. He also assassinated the inspector sent by the emperor to investigate the case. At that time, the emperor was in northern Xinjiang to deal with the flood of the Linghai Sea, and he had no time to take care of anything else, so he did not investigate deeply. It was two years later when I learned that he had previously worked under you and had a close friendship with you, so I put the case under hold for the time being to see what happened. I thought that if you knew your mistakes, you would correct them, and you would be more restrained, but you have to make inches and be lawless, and similar cases have been implicated with you six times in recent years. Your character is getting lower and lower, and you have no brother, and you have accused and insulted your third brother several times. In addition to this case, if according to the law of the country, you yourself said how many times you should be executed?"

Saint Emperor Long Ao's beard, which was already angry at this time, trembled slightly, and his arms trembled. Looking at Long Zhan again, he was already paralyzed in fright, and there was a fart and urine flow. The rest of the princes were also trembling, how could they dare to intercede if they knew the temper of the Holy Emperor.

"A few days ago, I was determined to send you to the Heavenly Punishment Platform for execution, and called on my people in Zhongzhou to come and watch the execution. But the death penalty is forgiven, how can the living crime be forgiven, come on, drag the guilty Long Zhan out, and wait after this birthday banquet. He had his right foot abolished, was given a hundred lashes, and sent to northern Xinjiang with three years of hard labor. At the same time, it is announced to the world that I am proud of my guilt and ashamed of the people of Zhongzhou. If the family is ruined, how can he govern the country? He will take back all the territories that have been sealed to him, and reduce the taxes levied on the plagued land by sixty percent within ten years as a sign of appeasement. ”

"Old Five, although you are excellent in literature and martial arts, you can't be arrogant and domineering. Besides, the third child and you were born to the same mother, and they have loved you since childhood, how can you treat him like this? There are also the sixth and seventh children, you are all adults, and you know all the moral and legal systems, how can you hook up with that good-looking Long Zhan? You brothers should help each other and love each other, and work with one heart and one mind. If you continue to make mistakes, the fourth child will be a lesson for you. Hmph!"

"Erchen knows that he is wrong" The foreheads of several princes were sweating like rain. Hurriedly replied in a trembling voice.

"The emperor is now over sixty years old, and in my Zhongzhou, although the number of people who can live up to 100 years old is like the sand of the desert, but everyone has their own life, and there are many people who die at the age of tens. Everything is providential, and it cannot be forced. As for the immortal who has cultivated the right path and even lived forever with heaven and earth, no one has ever seen it? A few days ago, this emperor asked a powerful diviner to recommend a hexagram for me, and this emperor's lifespan is only more than 20 years. ”

"What ............?"

"How is this possible...... "Everyone in the hall exclaimed. Even among the people, it is common for people to live for more than 100 years, not to mention the king of a country who has cultivated the Thunder King.

"Is it necessary for the emperor to deceive you? According to the rules set by the ancestors, ten years before estimating that the limit of oneself is coming, one must abdicate, first, in order to avoid people from getting old and decaying, their thinking is turbid, and they will do regretful things that damage the people and the prestige of the country, and second, they will supervise and appoint the capable among the princes as the crown prince while their cultivation ability has not yet decayed, so as to avoid fratricidal and flesh-and-blood fights for personal gain. Third, monitor and assess whether the crown prince who has ascended to the throne governs the country in a proper manner, and if he is inactive or often does something that is disgraceful to the country and the people, it is better to abolish and establish a new monarch on the spot. In other words, the emperor still has more than ten years to go."

"This ............" The princes were at a loss for a moment, looked at each other, and were speechless.

"Okay, it's too early to discuss this matter, let's talk about the feast in front of us. After a while, they will go to Tongtian Square with the emperor for a banquet, and it is estimated that they have almost prepared. Nine girls, you are still not sensible, don't go, let the manager take you to play elsewhere in a while, be obedient. It's best for you to behave in a good way, and don't embarrass the emperor in front of the vassal countries. Hmph......"

"Erchen obeys the emperor's orders!"

Seeing that no one was playing with him again, this naturally attracted a burst of pouting lips and a few aggrieved tears from the ninth princess Long Qing. Fortunately, after Long Fang's 'deep scheming' coaxing and fooling, she disappeared into the hall with a bang.
