Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Above the hall, all the civil and military officials knelt down and surrendered to the emperor's wrath.

Li Si's words, It's because of you assholes, made the ministers tremble.

In particular, some of the ministers who approached the prime minister Yuan Zai were as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

At this time, the only confidence in their hearts was that the emperor might not be willing to make things worse.

After all, if Li Si were to investigate deeply, at least half of the ministers above the court would be inseparable from the prime minister.

Once the emperor does this, and the subject is dead, who is willing to do things for the emperor?

Therefore, the emperor should only target the prime minister alone, and will not further expand the situation.

In this way, their lives were saved.

Cao Zhengchun also knelt on the ground.

However, he seemed to have anticipated what the ministers were thinking, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: You idiots, don't you really think that Your Majesty is deliberately above the court, and when you talk about this, it is only aimed at the prime minister?

Your Majesty wants to centralize power, the Prime Minister has the power His Majesty wants, and the ministers also have it.

The more ministers die, the more comfortable your Majesty will be.

Cao Zhengchun sneered in his heart.

In Cao Zhengchun's view, after today, the number of ministers in the court will be reduced by one-third.

Until tomorrow, the huge Tai Chi Hall will probably be much empty.

only...

What does this have to do with Cao Zhengchun?

In this world, there are too many people who want to be officials. No matter how many people die, as long as His Majesty makes a will, more officials will be added the next day.

...

Li Si got up, walked down the steps of the court hall, and stepped on the golden imperial road.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, officials have always been known for their integrity. I have respected them very much since I was a child. In history, I have assisted the loyal ministers and capable men of the previous emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Si's voice became deeper and deeper, like a volcano before the eruption, the tranquility before the storm.

But now, I found that I was wrong.

Our Tang Dynasty, although there are loyal ministers and capable men, there is also no shortage of corrupt worms!

Li Si's voice shook in the hall and echoed in the ears of the ministers.

These corrupt and corrupt worms have corrupted the Tang Dynasty, and I can't tolerate it!

It can't be tolerated either!

Li Si stopped abruptly and turned to look at Cao Zhengchun: Cao Zhengchun, immediately give me a thorough investigation of the prime minister's case.

Anyone who is close to the prime minister should be investigated to the end, and if corruption and favoritism are found, they will be arrested immediately, and those who resist will die!

The minister obeys the order. Cao Zhengchun said immediately.

As soon as this is said!

The court officials trembled.

Also, I want to add a Tang law.

As long as officials who dare to embezzle corrupt officials, link up with three clans, and report whistleblowers, if they are verified, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. I want to see who will dare to be corrupt again in the future!

Li Si was furious!

In the Taiji Hall, the legs of the civil and military officials were frightened.

The three tribes?

The whistleblower's golden hundred taels?

Your Majesty, are you preparing to cleanse the ministers?

Even the minister of households, who has always been clean and honest, was a little restless at this time.

After Li Si said these words, he immediately announced his withdrawal from the DPRK and left the Taiji Hall.

Only when Li Si's figure completely disappeared did the minister recover.

His Majesty...

Your Majesty this is...

The ministers looked at each other.

They realized how many officials would be sacked in this sensational purge.

Among them, it may be a ninth-grade junior official, and more likely a first-grade high-ranking official!

...

Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity, followed by Cao Zhengchun.

Your Majesty, I have collected all the property seized from the Prime Minister,

sent to the treasury. Cao Zhengchun said actively.

Got it. Li Si nodded.

After Li Si left the Taiji Palace, the prime minister was imprisoned by the imperial guards.

Moreover, all the family members of the prime minister, relatives within three generations, were all imprisoned.

Waiting for release.

As for the prime minister's embezzlement of property worth 50 million taels over the years, he naturally filled it into the treasury without any leakage.

This was also explained by Li Si in advance!

Fifty million taels of silver was probably enough for Li Si to squander for a while.

only...

Li Si also knew in his heart that this was treating the symptoms rather than the root causes.

Historically, the key to the terminal illness of the Tang Dynasty was definitely not only in these corrupt officials.

Local governors do not comply with the anti-order!

The aristocratic clan covers the sky with one hand!

The Li royal family is in constant civil strife!

It was these chronic diseases that dragged the prosperous Tang Empire into the abyss.

Li Si held his right hand gently, as if he was holding the universe.

Give me time, as long as you give me time, I will remove these problems completely!

...

In the court and the opposition, as the emperor's will was conveyed, it was completely boiling.

Officials are imprisoned all the time.

In the prison, it has long been overcrowded!

Yongan Palace.

The queen mother listened to the report of the maid.

Yiren, do you think that His Majesty's actions are appropriate? The queen mother turned to look at Tantai Yiren.

Tantai Yiren thought for a moment and said, Your Majesty's decision, whether it is right or wrong, we just need to follow it.

The queen mother nodded slightly when she heard the words.

Yes, we women, the only thing we can do is to obey His Majesty's decision.

You have to remember that in this palace, you are not a martial arts genius who comes out of the Demon Sect every three hundred years, nor a Demon Sect saint who is charming in the world.

The Queen Mother reminded Tantai Yiren intentionally or unintentionally.

The empress dowager knew the arrogance of Tantai Yiren.

But before His Majesty, Tantai Yiren wanted to put away that arrogance.

Only in this way can you stand out from the three thousand beauties in the harem and occupy a place in His Majesty's heart.

Yiren understands. Tantai Yiren bit his lip lightly: Aunt, how did you win the heart of the late emperor back then?

In those days? The queen mother was silent, and finally shook her head: In those days, I resolutely followed the late emperor back to the palace, and in order to stop the mouth of the ministers in the court, I was willing to be a maid beside the late emperor.

As time goes by, day and night accompany each other, maybe the late emperor himself was moved, so he gave me a name. The queen mother seemed to fall into some kind of memory.

Moved? Tantai Yiren was stunned: But didn't everyone say that the late emperor and aunt really loved each other?

I really loved each other at first, but when the late emperor returned to the palace, he also found the gap between us and began to gradually alienate me...

The queen mother's voice fell.

Tantai Yiren is a little hard to accept.

It wasn't what she thought.

However, after a long time, Tantai Yiren made a decision in his heart.

She bowed slightly towards the queen mother: Yiren has something to do, and I want to ask the queen mother to agree.

What's the matter? the Queen Mother asked.

I hope the queen mother will arrange me with her majesty.

Yiren is also willing to start with the maid next to His Majesty. Tantai Yiren said firmly.

Maid? The Queen Mother sighed, Are you sure?

Your Majesty's maid, it's not so easy to be a maid!

The Empress Dowager looked at Tantai Yiren.

Tantai Yiren listened to the Queen Mother's words and said earnestly, Yiren is sure.

After saying these words, a figure appeared in Tantai Yiren's heart.

That was the Tang Emperor.

A man as dazzling as the sun!
