The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 240 Who agrees?Who is against it?
The Taiji Hall has been razed to the ground, but there are many palaces in the imperial palace, so it is not difficult to find a large hall for the court meeting.

Above the court, perhaps returning to a place he was familiar with, although he was in awe of Li Chengqian, the new king, some people couldn't help but objected to this matter of vital interest.

Let's not talk about where the relocation will be moved, but any relocation of the capital means a reshuffle of interests and rights to some extent.

There is so much involved in it, how can it be taken lightly?
"Your Majesty, moving the capital is a matter of great importance and waste. Now that your enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, the large area of ​​land you have conquered has not been settled properly, and everything is waiting to be done. It is definitely not a wise move to move the capital now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, at this moment, the situation is not stable, so we should focus on safety."

"..."

Countless courtiers who had kept silent on the matter of Emperor Qing's passing on the throne before stood up one after another at this moment, with a clear understanding of righteousness, as if they were really good officials who devoted themselves to the Qing Dynasty and died.

Only Lin Ruofu, Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi and a small number of officials remained silent.

Li Chengqian listened to the admonition that seemed to come from the heart, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When they were almost finished talking, his eyes lowered slightly, and he glanced lightly at the officials.

"Finished?"

The faint three words made the voice of admonishment in the hall disappear in an instant.

An invisible power made many people's hearts sink suddenly.

Li Chengqian opened a file on the table, his eyes fell on a certain place, and he said calmly: "Chen Li, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, has accepted bribes for 340 times in five years since he took office, totaling 12 taels, and obtained more than 320 mu of fertile land by various means."

His eyes turned cold, and he stared at the official who opposed the capital move at the beginning and said: "In my opinion, Mr. Chen's position as a servant of the Ministry of Officials is somewhat condescending. Such a means of raising money should go to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Chen Li's face was extremely pale at the moment, and he was trembling all over. In fact, even he himself couldn't remember exactly how many times he had received bribes, how much money he had received, and how many fertile lands he owned, but he still knew roughly. At least what Li Chengqian said, there was no big difference.

At this moment, his mind was blank, and he was filled with fear. His hidden secret was suddenly revealed.

Even more clearly than he himself knew.

What a terrible thing this is.

This meant that he had no secrets at all in front of the young His Majesty in front of him.

He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he couldn't say a word.

It is absolutely impossible for such detailed data to be supported by evidence, so where can he argue?
Especially, under the gaze of this new king, under the terrifying power that seemed to hit the soul directly, if he had no ghosts in his heart, he might still be able to say a few words.

But he didn't have the confidence to begin with, how could he have the courage to speak up and defend himself under the influence of his aura?

Seeing Chen Li standing where he was, without saying a word, Li Chengqian sneered and continued reading.

But this time it was replaced by Wang Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

As the person in charge of the rivers in the world, there is also a vacancy for the governor of the rivers, the superior of the prime minister of the rivers yamen, this person did not make his fortune through bribery, but directly greedy ink.

The great river in the Qing Dynasty broke its embankment year after year, the people were displaced, and the people were in dire straits. It was not that the imperial court did not transfer money.

Not even a few.

But it didn't work at all.

Because [-]% of the money was corrupted by officials large and small in the river yamen.

Wang Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, as the person in charge of the river yamen, is even more important.

In just three years, the silver taels embezzled even surpassed Chen Li, the left servant in charge of the promotion of officials of all sizes.

In a short while, Li Chengqian read nearly [-] officials, big and small, consecutively.

The amount of money involved in the case ranged from more than [-] to tens of thousands, adding up to millions, and this was actually just the tip of the iceberg.

For example, Wang Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, has embezzled nearly 20 taels in three years, and the reason why he has been able to live in peace is because the sum of the corrupted money of various officials in the Hedao Yamen is far above the 20 taels.

After all, Wang Yu has 20 taels, and the officials in the Hedao Yamen are naturally inferior to him. However, there are more than a hundred officials, large and small, in the Hedao Yamen. If you want to feed these people, a million taels will not be enough.

The nearly thirty officials that Li Chengqian read were all able to participate in the court meeting today, and their ranks were not low, and each of them had an intricate network of interests behind them.

If everything is wiped out at once, the amount of money involved in the case will exceed tens of millions, which is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Of course, he didn't think about it, and it doesn't mean how honest and upright he is, but the means are still restrained, and although there are inappropriate things in his actions, they are not serious.

Now that the court still needs manpower, it is naturally impossible for him to catch them all in one go.

And as Li Chengqian continued to read alone, the atmosphere in the entire court began to become a little more solemn.

The officials who were named behaved more and more unbearably.

Some people even lost control directly.

A faint foul smell made the courtiers around that person couldn't help covering their noses and backing away with disgust on their faces.

With a bang, Li Chengqian threw the file in his hand out.

"This is my courtier of the Qing Kingdom. He keeps saying that he is for the country and the people, and he does all the things of male robbers and female prostitutes!"

His eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "Come here, take all these adults down and put them in the prison!"

Wow, outside the hall, a heroic female general with bright eyes and bright teeth, dressed in armor, led dozens of imperial guards in a file, and with a wave of her hand, all the twenty adults were arrested.

This female general is naturally Ye Ling'er, with an eighth-rank cultivation, she was directly appointed as the commander of the imperial army by Li Chengqian, replacing the dead Gong Dian.

The commander of the forbidden army is the one whom Li Chengqian trusts to control the safety of the palace.

Although Ye Linger is a woman, she is not weaker than an ordinary man. At least, she has stepped into the eighth rank and has Li Chengqian's guidance. Even if Gong Dian is resurrected, she may not be her opponent.

After all the ministers were taken away, the hall was obviously much empty.

It's just that the atmosphere has become more dignified.

Li Chengqian's move was not only about simply tackling corruption, but also meant completely overturning the turbid lid on the court of Qing Dynasty.

For a while, except for a few people, it can be said that everyone is in danger.

It stands to reason that when the new king succeeds to the throne, he should appease the courtiers and the world, but right now, their Majesty is not reasonable at all.

Could it be that you are not afraid of making trouble?
Li Chengqian swept across the crowd indifferently, his heart was full of indifference, what was he afraid of, the biggest trouble was rebellion.

Will he be afraid?

If he wants to unify the world with the fastest speed, he will not have any scruples.

After a while, he said calmly, "The capital will be moved to Nanjing in a month's time. Who is in favor and who is against?"
