The evil emperor becomes my subordinate
Chapter 320 Establishing Prestige
Chapter 320 Establishing Prestige
The Minister of Dali Temple only found it funny when he heard the words of those people going back and forth. He looked at them calmly. When they had almost finished speaking, the Minister of Dali Temple said, "It's not wrong. You should be here." "As for why I didn't arrest those people, have you forgotten the first round of self-examination?"
The Minister of Dali Temple asked them questions as if he had remembered something.
Those people's faces suddenly turned pale when they heard what the Minister of Dali Temple said. They looked at the Minister of Dali Temple in disbelief, their eyes full of shock, and then they hurriedly said, "We just forgot, we were also coming. "
The Minister of Dali Temple only felt funny when he heard the words of those officials, and said in a faint tone, "Really? I remember that the time given by His Majesty is the same. How come others can remember it but you can't remember it? Since you can't remember it, this person It’s better not to wear the black gauze hat on you, otherwise you will mislead others.”
When the Minister of Dali Temple said this, his eyes were full of indifference, and he glanced at these people coldly. Because these people were of lower rank than him, they did not dare to say anything more. They could only shut up quickly for fear of If the minister of Dali Temple didn't pay attention and really told the emperor to take off their black gauze hats, that would be the end.
"Mr. Dali Temple, I really didn't mean this, can't you be accommodating? Can you make up for it now?"
An official tried to make the Dali Temple Minister accommodating by showing off his money. However, they forgot that what Xue Yanbei was investigating now was a case of corrupt officials. How dare the Dali Temple Minister dare to accept this? If he accepted it, wouldn't it mean that he was Dali? Did the temple minister knowingly commit the crime?
If the news really got out by then, there would be no point in regretting it, so the Minister of Dali Temple directly asked the jailer to catch the official who tried to bribe and beat him.
Because they did not avoid those who were imprisoned during the beating, their own fear, coupled with the official's behavior now, naturally made everyone more afraid.
Now they can only wait tremblingly for the Dali Temple Minister to deal with it, because bribery is not feasible now, and those with backers can only wait for someone to rescue them.
But now in this limelight, how can anyone be so stupid, so they are destined to have no one to save them.
Three days later, the previous batch of officials who were arrested also received their punishment, which was to be demoted.
Each official has been demoted one level. For example, an official who was originally a seventh-grade official is now an eighth-grade official. Then he has to pay his salary for one year, and every year after that, he has to report his financial situation to the Minister of Dali Temple. .
As for those officials who were originally in the ninth rank, they were directly demoted to civilians, and all the conveniences and salaries they had as officials were confiscated.
As soon as the results of the execution came out, the officials who had been watching the incident were shocked. They did not expect that Xue Yanbei would be so cruel this time. This really taught them a lesson.
This also makes those officials who did not hand over those in time in the first round feel extremely regretful at the moment. If this is the case, then their losses will be even greater...
At this moment in the court, it can be said that everyone is in danger.
Of course, that's not the case. Those officials from Xie Yuxing's camp who had made friends from the beginning were happy and leisurely.
Because they were not greedy enough, they didn't feel too big about it. Xie Yuxing had been teaching them before that if they followed his team, they must not search for people's wealth and wealth, otherwise if he knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous. So after Xie Yuxing said this, no one dared to do it.
Therefore, when this happened, those people didn't feel much in their hearts, because they themselves were not very greedy, so there was no need to panic, they just needed to follow the first introspection and hand over something.
After that, there was no announcement for another three days, which made everyone even more panicked because they didn't know if Xue Yanbei was planning something. If so, it would be a big problem.
However, the fact is that Xue Yanbei deliberately spared these three days. He just wanted those officials to take the opportunity of these three days to reflect on themselves, and the effect was indeed good.
Some officials finally couldn't help but surrendered, and admitting their mistakes to His Majesty would have cost them even more. But fortunately, the punishment was only salary, and there was no official punishment, so this is also a good result.
However, three days passed, and after the court session, the atmosphere in the court was a little different. Those officials who had reflected on themselves during these three days breathed a sigh of relief, because this time they also saw it. , His Majesty will not say who is greedy, but it will be different if he does not take the initiative to say it. He will punish them directly, and the entire court will know about it.
Although everyone is a corrupt official, some corrupt officials who are not smart will have to pay the price for what they have done.
After going to court, Xue Yanbei didn't say anything. He just glanced at the officials below, wondering if he had a guilty conscience.
Those officials who did not surrender or were arrested bowed their heads with a guilty conscience. On the contrary, those officials who secretly surrendered the second time are now straightened up.
Xue Yanbei looked at the people below with different thoughts and sneered in his heart. At this time, he knew he was afraid? They had been given a chance before, but since they were not prepared to speak out on their own, don't blame him.
Xue Yanbei cleared his throat and said, "Some time ago, I was checking some things in the court. Some of my dear friends discovered their mistakes in time and made corrections. I think it's good, but some officials..."
When Xue Yanbei said this, he glanced at the officials who did not make corrections in time, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and continued, "Some of you are not able to discover your mistakes in time, and none of them have the time to correct them, but it doesn't matter. Since some people cannot recognize their own mistakes, I will ask someone to help you recognize your own mistakes.”
Xue Yanbei said and looked at Eunuch Li who was standing aside. Eunuch Li nodded slightly after meeting Xue Yanbei's eyes, indicating that he understood. Eunuch Li then stepped forward, took out the imperial edict, and then began read out.
"It is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed..."
Eunuch Li read out a series of imperial edicts, which roughly meant that Xue Yanbei would punish those officials who had not conducted self-examination this time, and who had been silent until now.
And the consequences of the punishment are even worse than before. Today is the final warning. If they can't do it again, then tomorrow, their punishment will be announced in the court.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the officials knew what the problem was. They did not dare to speak for fear of offending Xue Yanbei, and at the same time they were thinking about countermeasures in their hearts.
