The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 122

Things really went as Li Ru expected, but the next moment, Zhang Xun, the official in charge of the capital who hadn't said a word, stood up silently.

The capital officials are responsible for investigating and prosecuting all officials for breaking the law.

Zhang Xun came to Li Ru's left, glanced silently at Gongsun Zhao who was standing on Li Ru's right, and immediately bowed solemnly to Liu Bian, saying, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Hearing this, Liu Bian twitched the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, nodded and said, "Quite playing."

Zhang Xun glanced at a line of small characters on the fluorene board, and immediately followed the words on the fluorene board, and said in a loud voice: "Gongsun Zhao, the magistrate of Xiangping County, allowed his family to do harm to the town and invade the people's fields, causing complaints from the people in the county.

Gongsun Zhao's move not only runs counter to the previous policy of slack corvee and thin taxation formulated by His Majesty, but also disregards His Majesty's orders. A gross crime of disrespect. "

"Huh!"

Zhang Xun's voice fell behind, and there was a gasp in the meeting hall.

When Gongsun Zhao heard the words, instead of feeling the slightest fear, he even showed a reassuring expression.

In Gongsun Zhao's mind, for Liaodong, this was simply a matter of tacit understanding between the family and Li Shu.

The aristocratic clans in Liaodong wantonly annexed land, and the Li and Shu finally had no land to grow, and they had to be forced to sell themselves to the aristocratic clan as tenants.

Liaodong County has been doing this for nearly a hundred years. Could it be that Liaodong has changed just because of a new owner?
Looking at the confident Gongsun Zhao, Liu Bian smiled slightly and said, "Are you convicted?"

When Gongsun Zhao heard the words, he intentionally showed an expression of sincerity and fear, and immediately bowed and said: "I am guilty."

In Gongsun Zhao's view, this was just a formality. After he voluntarily admitted his mistake, Liu Bian severely reprimanded himself in front of all civil and military officials, and then gave him a lighter punishment. This process has long been commonplace for Gongsun Zhao.

However, what Gongsun Zhao never expected was that Liu Bian actually summoned Yu Wencheng after hearing the words.

Then, in front of all civil and military officials, Liu Bian asked Yuwen Chengdu to pull Gongsun Zhao out of the gate and punish him.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Zhao couldn't help being stunned, until he was dragged out of the door by Yu Wencheng like a chicken, he finally came back to his senses.

"Why is this so, Your Majesty?" Gongsun Zhao asked tremblingly.

With a faint smile on Liu Bian's Gujing Wubo face, he silently stood up from his seat, looked down at Gongsun Zhao, and said coldly: "Didn't you just plead guilty just now? The evidence is conclusive, you openly resist the order, it is a crime of disrespect, now there is nothing to say between you and me."

"Drag him down,"

Liu Bian impatiently waved to Yu Wencheng.

"promise."

Yu Wencheng nodded, and immediately dragged Gongsun Zhao, whose legs were weak from fright, like a dead dog.

Right now.

Tian Shao, who was in charge of the history of meritorious officials in Xiangping County, immediately stood up to intercede for Gongsun Zhao, saying: "The county lord made a slip of the tongue, presumably your majesty misunderstood the meaning of the county lord, please calm down for the time being, please be strict. It’s not too late to find out the truth of the matter, and then make a decision.”

Tian Shao is a famous scholar in Liaodong. His family has lived in Liaodong for generations. The Tian family has a great reputation in Liaodong.

Hearing this, Liu Bian ignored Tian Shao, but turned his attention to Zhang Xun.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun hurriedly bowed to Liu Bian and said, "Tian Shao and Gongsun Zhao are guilty of the same crime."

When Liu Bian heard the words, he nodded clearly, and said, "Drag Tian Shao down, and punish him together."

"promise."

Before Yu Wencheng could answer, Han Dang, who was then Lieutenant of Liaodong County, responded first, and immediately grabbed Tian Shao's lapel, dragging him to the gate of the mansion.

Looking at the back of Han Dang leaving, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The loyal and brave Duke of Yi can be called the tiger minister of the world."

After a long time.

Suddenly there were two extremely shrill screams outside the gate of the mansion, and soon after, Yu Wencheng and Han Dang each carried a bloody head and went to the meeting hall to report to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian silently glanced at the heads of Gongsun Zhao and Tian Shao, and said: "Immediately send a letter to Le Lang and Xuan Tu to order the two places and Liaodong to act at the same time, and launch a joint operation against those who steal people's fat and people's anointing. This time, we must do it." When the evil is done, we must not let a fish slip through the net."

"promise."

Everyone saluted in unison, and immediately retreated in fear.

Today's discussion is mainly about the matter of the examination and approval of officials. As for the matter of Jin Yiwei, it is the emperor's family matter, and it is not the turn of the officials to discuss it.

Liu Bian took advantage of the pretext that the administration of officials became law, and carried out a large-scale bloody cleansing of those aristocratic families from the three counties who were not of one mind with him.

An hour later.

Yuwen Chengdu led troops to carry out a series of cleansing activities in Xiangping City, and launched a bloody cleansing against those descendants of the aristocratic families who blatantly occupied the people's fields and harmed the common people.

Among them, the Gongsun family and the Tian family were the first to bear the brunt. The two unlucky people, Gongsun Zhao and Tian Shao, managed to escape from the hands of Gongsun Du, but they both died in the hands of Liu Bian.

Chai Shao and Han Dang split up and led [-] elite soldiers, one to the south and the other to the north, and went to various counties to arrest the imperial court criminals.

at the same time.

At the same time, an extremely tragic political storm blew up in Lelang County and Xuantu County.

This political turmoil lasted for more than a month, and there were more than 300 aristocratic families who were finally destroyed in this political turmoil. A fish that slipped through the net.

In the first year of Chuping, May [-]th.

The sky has just revealed a fish-belly white.

Li Ru, Yang Xiu, and Changsun Wuji dragged their tired bodies out of the study of the state pastoral mansion.

This is the first time the three of them have seen the sun in the sky in the past seven days.

The three of them had been working overtime for seven days and seven nights in the study of the State Shepherd's Mansion. It took four full days just to sort out the household registration and check the account books.

After completing the above two tasks, the three of them carried out a new division of the newly confiscated land.

When it comes to dividing the land, the first thing is to do a good job in the census, and then send people down to measure the land. As a result, the three of them spent nearly three days planning on these two things.

Until today, the three finally stepped out of the study gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion for the first time, and breathed the first breath of fresh air in the past seven days.

Hearing that the three humerus ministers left the customs today, Liu Bian also came to congratulate them happily. As a result, when Liu Bian saw the three of them, the first sentence he spoke was like a bolt from the blue, knocking the three of them away. Ray is so tender.

"Twenty percent of the land confiscated from the aristocratic clan will be divided into the name of Huangzhuang, and the rest of the land will be assigned to the name of the State Shepherd's Mansion, which will be allocated uniformly by the State Shepherd's Mansion."

"Twenty to two percent."

Yang Xiu looked at Liu Bian in astonishment, and said falteringly, "Your Majesty, can you...do you really want to compete with the people for profit?"

"It's not easy to start a business. Your Majesty should cherish it more. Don't ruin this hard-won foundation because of a moment of enthusiasm." Changsun Wuji said.

Liu Bian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, you just need to follow the order."

"Yes."

Yang Xiu and Changsun Wuji looked at each other silently, they both shook their heads helplessly, and then silently retreated to the side.
