Chapter 32 Slaves around Miss Pride (32)

People in the ruling and opposition parties are in panic.

Originally, they thought that the land merchants would be sent to Ji County to investigate the disaster, so that they would be spared.

But he didn't want Lu Shang to investigate and investigate, and unexpectedly investigated a shocking secret case.

Looking at Li Hairu who was tied up in front of the hall, they all wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Emperor Ling was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, beheading all the officials involved in this matter.

However, officials have always been connected with each other, and the Darui dynasty has been extravagant for decades, so this killing killed almost [-]% of Darui's officials.

The six ministries of the imperial court, all beheaded below the minister, and countless local officials.

The money and food embezzled by the officials had to be recovered, but most of the stolen money flowed into the pockets of the local rich, so Emperor Ling ordered all the local tyrants involved in this matter to be ransacked and all their property confiscated.

Zuo Xiang had a ghost in his heart, and under Lu Shang's secret persuasion, he took the initiative to ask for an order and was willing to be responsible for the investigation and execution.

Emperor Ling took a deep look at him and then acquiesced.

However, what Zuo Xiang never expected was that because of the wide-ranging involvement of this incident, the people complained a lot, and there was a stance of an uprising.

In order to quell public grievances, Emperor Ling accused Zuo Xiang of "unfair handling of affairs" and paraded through the streets to behead the streets.

At this time, Chu Miaomiao had already married the Eighth Prince Ji Shu, so she was temporarily exempted from the crime, but was demoted to the side concubine.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts and save military power, the later land merchants proposed a "charity relief" plan.

Emperor Ling distributed part of the gold and silver stolen from the home of Fu Jia, a corrupt official, to Ji County.

The people in Ji County have money in their hands, but the good fields have been burned, and there is a shortage of food, so some merchants will sell the food at a reduced price.

And those who are willing to sell grain to Ji County at a low price, select the best 20 people, and can apply for imperial merchants.

The so-called "Imperial Merchant" was established by Emperor Ling in order to revitalize the business way. After all, the long-term stability of a country is inseparable from whether the country's business is flourishing or not.

From this, Lu Shang became Emperor Ling's most trusted confidant.

But within a month, he lost two phases in a row.

All things fell on Emperor Ling alone, and the workload was increasing day by day, so Emperor Ling had to set up a palace scholar, and appointed Lu Shang as his first assistant.

Lu House.

Chu Cha leisurely leaned against the fence, feeding the happily snapping fish in the water.

She originally thought that the Lu Chamber of Commerce would leave some 'evidence' to let Emperor Ling know that Chu Yuntian was also involved in the corruption, but she didn't want him not only to not, but to take care of the aftermath for Chu Yuntian.

It can be seen that he has considered Emperor Ling's thoughts very thoroughly.

He was involved in this case, Emperor Ling would definitely choose to let him supervise the remaining procedures of the case, and then be convicted of 'unfair handling'.

It is Lingdi's consistent style to kill a courtier who is too smart but doesn't know whether he is loyal or not, but can keep Da Rui's foundation.

And he cleaned up the mess for the left minister and finished the finishing work of corruption, and he already gained Chu Yuntian's complete trust.

At this time, with a few words of persuasion, he will have a just right scapegoat.
Lu Shang stood in the distance, looking at her back with a soft expression, but did not go forward.

Since the incident in Qizhou last time, the eldest lady has become increasingly indifferent to him.

When they met for the first time, although the eldest lady hated him, she was willing to spend more time to torment him.

But now he didn't say a word, just had a cold face.
After feeding the fish food, the girl clapped her hands, turned around and saw Lu Shang standing outside the pavilion.

After Chu Cha glanced at him with a neither cold nor indifferent expression, he turned around and left without saying a word, apparently intending to ignore him to the end.

He watched the girl's back gradually walking away, his eyes lowered to cover the darkness.

And Chu Miaomiao and Ji Shu?

If they were dead, would the eldest lady show a smile?

"Master, all the tribes on the border have been gathered together." The man in black walked out of the darkness behind Lu Shang.

"Then let's get started."

Three victories in January.

In just two months, several small towns on the border of Darui were destroyed.

After that, more than a dozen counties and counties were successively collected at a fast speed, and the barbarian cavalry rushed straight towards the capital.

While Emperor Ling was furious, his health became worse and worse, and he suddenly coughed up blood during a meeting and died.

The eighth prince Jishu was ordered to inherit the throne when he was in danger, and Chu Miaomiao, the daughter of the guilty minister, was also promoted to the imperial concubine.

But he is the new emperor after all, and he can't restrain the terrified ministers under him at all. He can only watch them defect to Hu Jun either secretly or explicitly.

He pursed his lips tightly, and looked at Lu Shang, who was still calm and breezy, "You are the most trusted servant of the emperor, you will not betray me, will you?"

Lu Shang was wearing a dark purple court uniform and an official hat with golden feathers on his head. He held the wat board with his bony hands, and said in a gentle voice: "It is the duty of a humble minister to serve His Majesty the Emperor."
