I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 346 A bunch of bastards!
The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense.

As Liu Long and Ren Shang spoke, many people in the court couldn't help but feel nervous.

They are all important ministers in the court, and Ren Shang's relationship with them over the years is really difficult to handle.

Liu Long looked at their appearance and expressions, and he actually had some understanding in his heart. While he was a little disdainful and angry, he could not hide his uncontrollable disappointment.

"Ren Shang, tell me what happened to your money over the years, tell me clearly one by one!
The money and food of the imperial court were not used casually. They were spent from the hands of the great farmers, and then passed through the places and were sent to the army by corvees!

There will be officials from the imperial court following along the way, and I will be watching here today.

You say one thing, and I will give you the right one. If you do the right thing, I can forgive you half of your sins. It will be regarded as leniency for you to confess. "

"." Ren Shang looked at Liu Long in front of him. How could he not know that this was His Majesty's plan from the beginning?

From the beginning, he was just a pawn in the hands of His Majesty. It’s ridiculous that he was even complacent!
Now that his Majesty finally took action, he finally understood, especially when Ren Shang thought of what the Forbidden Army said to him before he came here.

"Your Majesty, you will protect your family and heirs."

Ren Shang didn't understand what was going on before, but how could he not understand what His Majesty meant now?
"The crime committed by me has been since the first unrest in the northwest a few years ago."

After Ren Shang understood what Liu Long meant, he immediately began to tell his story. Starting from the first time he fought against the Qiang and Hu, he also told the changes in himself over the years, as well as all the money and food he had taken away. .

In fact, he has almost forgotten many things.

After all, a long, long time had passed, so it was reasonable for him to not remember.

But Liu Long had ignored him before, and the torture in Tingwei Mansion's prison not only had the ability to extract confessions, but also had the ability to help people recover their memories.

I have to say that their methods are quite good.

This time, Ren Shang recalled many things that he had forgotten.

Liu Long, on the other hand, directly named a certain government office in the court based on every statement made by Ren Shang.

At least an official in the government office was captured directly. If it was serious, no one in the government office could escape!

Not only that, Liu Long not only wanted to attack those people in the court this time, but also directly extended his hand in another direction.

"So what if I become an official?
If you are greedy, you are greedy, and if you do it, you do it!
The father's debt is repaid by the son, and I can avoid affecting their family, but do I have to turn a blind eye to this matter?
There are many great scholars in this dynasty. Could it be that all the great scholars tell me that those who are corrupt and pervert the law can escape disaster as long as they are greedy enough and choose to become officials?
Dear scholars, can you tell me whether this is the case? "

Liu Long's methods at this time were still very good. Not only did he spread the war to the families behind these officials, but he also did not pursue them all the time. They mainly focused on fathers and sons.

At the same time, he also directly asked the great scholars in this court to start answering.

You know what happened this time, if anyone is the safest, it is really the great scholars in the court, especially the corrupt ones.

They are just greedy for fame and not profit!

So what happened to Ren Shang this time, and even the people who were drawn out because of Ren Shang, really had nothing to do with them.

As for what Liu Long asked them to do?
It's very simple. If he rushes to the gates of those families with his soldiers and horses, it's hard to say that he can pry open the gates of these families.

But if these great scholars were allowed to bring their own sharp tongues and use their fame and power of words, not to mention scolding each other for several days outside the gate, even if it took half an hour, the family would have already I can't bear it anymore.

When the time comes, the person who became an official will have to come back. Even if he dies, the direct descendants will have to return to the court with their money.There are all the witnesses and physical evidence here, and they have no ability to continue talking nonsense.

Liu Long's words also made the great scholars in the court look particularly ugly. They knew that His Majesty was taking advantage of them, but they had nothing to do.

After all, not long ago, they were here, in this court, directly "forcing" Liu Long, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, to send his "confidant general" Ren Shang to prison!

The past events are still vivid in their minds. If they don't say a word now, given Liu Long's current situation, these people don't dare to know how long they can live.

"Even if they become officials, that is not a reason for them to escape my Han law.

Since I have become an official of the Han Dynasty, I naturally have to protect my relationship with the Han Dynasty.

What Your Majesty said is that the debts of the father are repaid by the sons, and the sons and grandsons will succeed the father after his death! "

Finally, a great scholar stood up, and Liu Long was not polite and had people throw the list they had just transcribed onto the ground.

"Take this list and go to each of their houses to ask for people for me.

If you become an official and are no longer in Kyoto, it will be easy. If you have a hometown, go to your hometown. If future generations serve as officials in our Han Dynasty, we will control them all!

Duan Ji! "

Finally, Liu Long looked at the young man he had met after going to Northern Xinjiang, now Duan Ji, the captain of the Imperial Army.

"The end is here!"

"Take the people and follow these great scholars. Every one of them is counted. No one can escape.

I will not confiscate my family and exterminate my clan because of this matter, but if those people are stubborn, they will be the main criminals who are harboring my great man, and they will be against me and the imperial court.

Do you know what the crimes of these people are? "

"Those who rebel against the imperial court are all traitors!"

"Well said!" Liu Long laughed again, and then with a wave of his hand, he walked out with many great scholars.

After finishing these matters, Liu Long looked at the court official who was kneeling on the ground again.

Ren Shang had already finished speaking. His words alone had already caused half of the officials in the court to kneel on the ground.

This does not include those subordinate officials in the government offices outside who helped the emperor to do evil, nor does it include some local officials, as well as those who were promoted to official positions as mentioned by Liu Long just now, and those who were released to the outside world.

Seeing this scene, Liu Long's smile became even brighter.

In the end, Liu Long couldn't help but laugh in front of everyone, but this smile was full of cold meaning.

"Okay, okay, you guys are really my good ministers."

"A bunch of bastards!"
