Chapter 701: Darkness Chen Cang
The north wind is howling, the light snow is flying, the Shenjing City is completely revived after the sky is completely bright, and from today onwards, the New Year's holiday will be over, and the adults of every family go out early to work, and the little babies also have to go to the school palace to listen to the teacher's lecture.
But perhaps it hasn't been transformed back all at once, not only Shenjing, the first heroic city in Great Xia, but even the entire thirty-six states of Great Xia, seem to have a lazy atmosphere.
For the young country of Great Xia, the officials who entered the court as officials actually worked harder than ordinary people, not only to get up early to smear the early dynasty, but also to improve the assessment of officials in the Great Xia Ministry of Officials, and there was an almost pervasive Si Tianjian existing, making it difficult for ordinary corrupt officials to hide.
During the reign of Zhao Xiu, the princess of Wu, she mainly recuperated and developed domestically, rarely waged wars abroad, and was extremely clear about the governance of officials in the court, so she accumulated extremely strong capital, which was also the main reason why Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne and could directly launch several foreign wars in a row.
War is never a simple collision between sharp blades and strong shields, behind it is the scheduling and game of the entire dynasty and country, and what consumes is the continuous accumulation of national strength.
Desperate for military force, using thousands of costs, and horses put Nanshan, swords and guns into the warehouse, unable to guard the frontier, so how to master the balance between the two is an important indicator to measure the ability of an emperor.
White Emperor's Palace, Imperial Garden.
Zhao Yu propped up one hand, reclined on the soft collapse, closed his eyes and rested, and in his mind, thoughts were flying.
Zhao Yu didn't sleep all night last night, so after returning from the early dynasty, he took a nap in the imperial garden, and then Liang Po's figure appeared from outside, came to the young emperor's side, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the people have arrived. ”
"Then let them all in. ”
A steady voice came out of the young emperor's mouth, and then Zhao Yu opened his eyes, stood up upright, raised his hand and took a sip of the tea on the table, and calmly stared at the group of people in front of him.
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry are all in the book, as well as several veterans and cabinet scholars.
The young emperor does not have high requirements for etiquette, so each official puts a futon in front of him, and after saluting, it is convenient to sit cross-legged on the green lawn, although the atmosphere is not depressing, but because of You Tingjian's absence, everyone feels a little uncomfortable, and the sitting posture is also a little stiff.
Zhao Yu raised his head, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his swollen eyebrows, looked around the week, looked at those who were all second-grade masters with solemn faces and stiff bodies, and said softly to Liang Po beside him:
"Give them all a cup of tea, relieve fatigue, the plan of the day lies in the morning, how can their faces be so bad!"
After a while, a row of palace maids entered with tea, carefully poured a cup of tea for each of the adults, and then the fragrance of tea filled, and Zhao Yu's voice came down from above again:
"This time, I will call you to the Imperial Garden, and there are a few separate things to explain. ”
The emperor's voice fell, and everyone below was sitting in danger, bowing their heads to receive orders, and then Zhao Yu took out a fold and opened it, and it was the letter of guilt that You Tingjian sent into the White Emperor's Palace last night, and the voice resounded throughout the imperial garden again:
"This is the letter of petition written by You Tingjian a long time ago, which lists all the exchanges with Shan Wenbai, the most important of which is that Shan Wenbai began to secretly fund a large number of talented people like You Tingjian in the private sector thirty years ago, and the talent here refers more to the cultivation talent!"
As soon as these words came out, the hands of the people below holding the teacup paused slightly, and their eyes showed a look of thought, and then Zhao Yu's calm and usual voice in his ears came in again:
"You Tingjian listed a series of names in the excerpt, about 100 people, all of whom had received the favor of Shan Wenbai together, I asked Si Tianjian to check the file overnight, you might as well guess, what is the result of the review?"
At the end, Zhao Yu's voice became louder and louder, with a strong majesty in the steady, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone below.
Under the arrival of the vast emperor's might, these officials immediately changed their sitting to kneeling, and responded in a low voice:
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the ministers don't know!"
Zhao Yu threw the letter with the dense name written in his hand on the imperial table in front of him, and the Huanghuang Emperor's voice rolled out again:
You Tingjian listed the names of nearly 100 people, 97 of whom have files, of which 16 are officials in the court, and 11 are still in office.
"Except for You Tingjian, who is ranked as a second-grade scholar, the rest of the people are still not high in each rank, but they are not low, and this is only what You Tingjian knew back then, and nearly thirty years have passed since then, He Fu, do you know how to do it?"
Zhao Yu's voice was full of coldness, and then the official Shangshu He Fu hurriedly fell to the ground, regardless of the tea in his hand, and kowtowed in response:
"The minister will conduct a comprehensive investigation of all court officials to ensure that nothing slips through the net. ”
"I have only one request, don't be wronged, don't let go, I will let Si Tianjian fully cooperate, and if necessary, mobilize the Dire Division, directly crush me to death, don't go on a business trip again. ”
"Yes!"
He Fu, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, got up, but before he knew it, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and everyone understood that there was probably a storm about to sweep in the officialdom of Great Xia.
After the official Shangshu responded to the order, Zhao Yu's eyes looked down, stopped for a few breaths, and his voice continued to linger under the Xuantian Wood:
"The ninety-seven people on the list who have files to check, except for the sixteen who are officials in the court, the rest have cultivation talents, sixty-three sect disciples, and the rest are casual cultivators, and among these sixty-three sect disciples, six of them have reached the realm of Daoshi Grandmaster. ”
Zhao Yu's voice fell, and everyone let out an irrepressible exclamation, less than a hundred cultivators, there can be six Dao realms, and the reason why the Dao realm is called the Grandmaster realm is that it is enough to start a sect!
Six out of a hundred, it is enough to see the talent of these people and the viciousness of Shan Wenbai's vision.
Zhao Yu raised the fingers of his right hand, gently knocked on the desktop in front of him, squinted his eyes, the coldness in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and at the center of his eyebrows, the bright red and blood-like avenue cinnabar pattern suddenly became hot, and he continued to speak:
"The most important thing is that the six sect disciples of the Grandmaster Realm, including some cultivators on the list, died mysteriously one after another within ten years, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu raised his hand and slapped it on the imperial table in front of him, and the objects on it shook fiercely, and at the same time, the adults below shook his body.
The emperor's power that had been accumulated to the extreme burst out, and a violent wind suddenly broke out in the entire imperial garden, and even the tall Xuantian Wood kept trembling, and the leaves rustled.
"Dare to play the trick of darkness Chen Cang under the nose of the Great Xia Zhao clan, good, very good!"
