back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 11
Lu Chengqi glanced at Chen Heli who was lying on the ground, ignored him, and instead snorted coldly: "I have a secret melody in my hand, and the content in it shocks me. I never thought that a small fifth-rank official , to be so bold!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Chengqi took out a book of notes from his sleeve and threw it down.The officials were unclear, so Lu Chengqi's voice sounded again: "Chen Shangshu, take a good look!"

Chen Heli had a feeling that a catastrophe was imminent, he crawled over tremblingly, picked up the memorial, and what caught his eyes was the word "can be killed" written by Zhu Bi!Shocked, Chen Heli's heart was pounding uncontrollably. With trembling hands, he moved the memorial closer and read it word by word, but the contents of the memorial were too frightening. He almost passed out in a sentence: "... Chen Heli, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took 40 guan from the relief money, the officials divided up 30 guan, local officials divided 20 guan, and sent it to Kaifeng, and the prefect of Kaifeng divided it again. Fifty thousand guan, when it reached the hands of the victims, it was less than [-] guan. What a pity, corrupt officials are so rampant, I really don't want to join forces with them, I wish to impeach them to death!..."

When Chen Heli saw the signature, it turned out to be an inconspicuous little official under him, and Wu Xianzhi was a meritorious official.He immediately understood, if someone hadn't tipped off the news, how could the emperor know so clearly?But he was really wronged!Although he got the most money and silver, most of them were filial to Grand Master Yang.What came into his hands was only a hundred thousand guan.But how would he explain it to the emperor?Even if he said he could escape to death, would Grand Master Yang let him go easily?

At this moment, Chen Heli is like a mouse in a bellows, he is angry at both ends, but dare not make a sound at both ends, the only way is to confess his guilt.However, he also had a fluke mentality, because there had never been a case of beheading a civil official in the Dashun Dynasty.What's more, he is still a minister, an official second only to Zaifu.

Chen Heli made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes!"

Lu Chengqi sneered, and said, "It's nothing if you're dead. Poor my people, but you want to poke my back and scold!"

His words made Chen Heli feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his hands and feet were icy cold, and his head was sweating profusely.Grand Master Yang was also panicked, but he still maintained his dignity. He believed that the little emperor would not touch him so easily, after all, he had been the emperor's teacher.The ancients respected the teacher, and the teacher was like a father. How could a son do something to his father?Taishi Yang comforted himself, and also added a bit of confidence to the cronies behind him.

But Grand Master Yang obviously miscalculated Lu Chengqi's courage, he would be restless, and thunderous at every turn, finally gaining the upper hand, how could he lift it up high and put it down gently?We must make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop!
Lu Chengqi's next words shocked all civil and military officials: "I want to set up a supervisory department to supervise all officials. If there is any corruption, I will never forgive it lightly!"

As soon as his words fell, all the officials were in an uproar, and Lu Chengqi said angrily: "If you have no ghosts in your hearts, why are you afraid of the Supervision Department? One position, take office immediately, from the fourth rank, have the right to face directly. The Supervision Department has supervisors, eighth rank military officers, and has the post of supervision of hundreds of officials, effective immediately! The Supervision Department has prisons to arrest corrupt officials with solid evidence. But without my will, you are not allowed to act without authorization. Pass Xu Jingchun's oral order and act immediately!"

Only then did the civil and military officials understand that the little emperor had already made preparations, and everyone remained silent, only Chen Heli and other officials from the official department were so frightened that they all fell to the ground and confessed their crimes.

But Lu Chengqi didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he took time off and waited for the good news.

Not long after, an officer dressed in splendid uniform broke in from outside the hall, bowed and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi was expressionless, and said coldly: "The next is the inspector?"

The person who came said: "My minister is the inspector Zhao Guanda. He was ordered by the supervisor to report to the emperor that the whole family of the officials responsible for the flood in the Yellow River has been brought under control."

Lu Chengqi said: "Are there any supervisors outside the hall?"

Zhao Guanda said: "Back to the emperor, there are 25 people."

Lu Chengqi glanced at those bureaucrats lying on the ground like ashes, and said disgustedly: "Put these big moths lying on the ground into the supervision prison, and then ransack their homes. Origin!"

Zhao Guanda remained expressionless, kowtowed and said, "Obey!"

As soon as the words fell, more than [-] inspectors who had been waiting outside the hall rushed in, and put the corrupt officials who were lying on the ground with their muscles and bones in shackles, and within a quarter of an hour, they pushed and shoved them stumbling out. The Daqing Palace.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and all the civil and military officials who saw this scene were all shocked and kept silent.Grand Master Yang's face was even paler, as if the rosy blood color just disappeared for a while.

And the party headed by Xu Chongguang clapped their hands secretly, and it was almost a celebration.Lin Shilang was even more grateful: "The emperor is wise! The emperor is wise!"

At this time, Lu Chengqi said again: "I will make an order today that anyone who has been corrupted or accepted bribes in the past, as long as they voluntarily hand over the proceeds of corruption and hand them over to the treasury, I will not blame the past. It is limited to ten days, and we will not wait after the deadline. If you are under surveillance after ten days If the secretary finds out that there are still some people who refuse to follow suit, then don’t blame me for not being sympathetic. Everyone, please take care of yourself!”

Lu Chengqi's move not only cut off Grand Master Yang's left and right arms, but also scared him very much.But Lu Chengqi did not intend to let Grand Master Yang go.Lu Chengqi still understands the truth that if you kill a tiger, you will suffer from it.Lu Chengqi looked at the pale-faced Grand Master Yang with a hidden smile, and said, "Teacher, why don't you speak? Chen Shangshu is your student, but he just doesn't learn well. I have no choice but to do it. I hope the teacher will understand. I also do this Helpless, for Dashun Jiangshan, I have no choice but to do it!"

Hearing these words, Grand Master Yang was startled and trembling, and said in his heart: "The one who should come is still here. When did the little emperor arrange this move? It's like putting this old man to death!" It is obvious that Lu Chengqi is doing this for Grand Master Yang If the opportunity of his own choice is delegated, Lu Chengqi may not hold him accountable anymore, after all, he is Lu Chengqi's teacher.The Dashun Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. If the emperor killed his teacher or arrested his teacher and sent him to prison, he would be infamous. He would not do this.But now, he threw this hot potato to Taishi Yang, it depends on how Taishi Yang chooses.

Grand Master Yang choked with grief in his heart: "Yang Daoqi, Yang Daoqi, you didn't expect that you would have this day too! Forget it, forget it, for the sake of a lifetime reputation, maybe I should retire..."

Grand Master Yang, who had made up his mind, finally took off his official crown slowly, fell down on the ground, and said: "The old minister's teachings are ineffective, so that the crane and oak go astray. .”

Lu Chengqi said falsely: "Teacher, it's just that Chen Shangshu couldn't control himself, and he couldn't blame the teacher. The teacher is an important minister entrusted by the imperial examination, how can he bear to abandon me?"

Taishi Yang was disheartened, and said: "The old minister has no face to face the late emperor, and I would like to retire here."

Lu Chengqi refused repeatedly, but Taishi Yang had decided to "retire", so he had no choice but to agree.Taishi Yang put the official crown and court wat on the ground, and walked out of the Daqing Hall tremblingly. The bitter appearance made everyone cry.

When Taishi Yang left, the Taishi and his party realized that the general situation was over, the little emperor had completely taken power, and the old days were gone forever.Lu Chengqi overthrew the powerful Grand Master Yang in one day, and he was also happy in his heart, and said: "Ministers, do you have something important to do? If not, then retreat!"

Everyone is in a trance, how can they care about family and country affairs?They were all thinking about how to protect themselves, seeing no one answered, Lu Chengqi announced his resignation.This example of the dynasty can be said to be full of turmoil and shocking waves, which washed away the top political leaders of the Dashun Dynasty!A completely new political landscape is about to be released!
