Chapter 85: Unloading the Mill and Killing the Donkey (I)
"Ministers and others greet Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty's class teacher on returning to the court!" At the gate of the Shendu, a group of ministers, under the leadership of Wei Zheng and Ding Yuan, the two prime ministers on the left and right, knelt at the city gate to welcome Liu Fei's victorious return.
"Let's all be even! It is rumored that all the officials above the fourth rank in Beijing will go to the Chaoyang Hall to wait. Liu Fei ordered directly.
"Obey!" Xiao Lizi answered beside him.
"Xiaoxue, go to the palace with Xiao Guizi and wait for me, big brother go and do something. Liu Fei coaxed Xiaoxue.
"Oh, big brother, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"
"Well, you have to be good!" Liu Fei touched Xiaoxue's head and said to her dotingly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" In the Chaoyang Palace, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
"All Aiqing, since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to defend against strong enemies. It can be said that it is for the development of the Xinhan Kingdom, however, there are some people who want to sit back and enjoy the success, and they are still bent on corrupting the law, intending to fill their own pockets, but I want to ask you, can your own pockets really be filled? What I want to know is that the people who have been the inspectors of the Ministry of Officials should stand up!"
But Liu Fei waited for a long time, and no one stood up to answer.
"Why, I don't remember that I was an inspector or if my words don't work?" Liu Fei didn't get angry like other emperors, but Liu Fei still looked at ease.
There was still no one to answer Liu Fei's question.
"Huaiying, I want to know, your ministry sent an inspector, do you have a list?"
"Back to the emperor, all the inspectors have left a list of officials!"
"In that case, let's bring up the list!"
"Weichen obeys the order!" Di Renjie hurriedly called someone back to the official mansion of the Ministry of Officials to bring the inspectors sent out every time.
After a while, the officials who had been sent out returned, but they were empty-handed and had nothing.
"Lord Shangshu, the list we kept is gone!" the official who sent out hurriedly reported to Di Renjie.
"Why, is there anything you can't say out loud? Say it out loud so that everybody can hear what the hell is going on. ”
"Back to the emperor, the list of officials is gone. Di Renjie truthfully told Liu Fei.
"Oh, the list is gone? I think it should be, otherwise how could I be confident and bold and corrupt, the reason why they have such courage is because they have people in the court, and they all say that there are people in the court who are good officials, this can be described as group corruption, right? It seems that I am too gentle to others, making people think that I, the emperor, is a toothless tiger and a woman, right?"
"The emperor is angry! ”
"Calm your anger, no need, come on, grab Zheng Xipo, Pan Yuan and other people for me, press them into the prison, and wait for the execution after the autumn. ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't know what crime they have committed, why did Your Majesty arrest the ministers?" Zheng Xipo and Pan Yuan and the others who were named knelt on the ground and asked Liu Fei. If Liu Fei doesn't have any reason to convince everyone, it will reduce his prestige to the limit, and it will also make all the courtiers endanger, so that their goal will be achieved.
"Oh, I want to kill you, and I want to give you a reason, what are you? Just because you are a criminal department servant? Don't say that you are just a criminal department servant, even if you are a criminal department scholar, I want to kill you and kill you, and I will give you a reason?"
"Ministers, colleagues, this is simply a faint monarch, a tyrant's approach, it is completely a faint monarch, a tyrant, you can kill whoever you want today, then it will be the turn of all ministers and colleagues tomorrow? Sooner or later, the rivers and mountains of the Xin Han Kingdom will be buried!" This Zheng Xipo is really a little ghost, it can be said that it is difficult to deal with a little ghost. Before he died, he had to involve everyone.
"Originally, I only wanted to kill you, but since you say that I am a tyrant and a faint king, then I will be a faint monarch and a tyrant. Come on, put all the old and young Zheng Xipo family in prison, and ask for beheading with him!"
"Faint monarch, tyrant, what do you want to do, our Zheng family is full of loyalty, you want to kill my whole family, you faint monarch, you tyrant, you can't die well. Zheng Xipo didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, and scolded directly.
"Presumptuous, even insulting the saint, come on, call me!" Zhao Yun, who was standing at the end, directly called the Imperial Forest Army, and slapped Zheng Xipo on it.
"Your Majesty, although Zheng Shilang has offended Your Majesty a lot, for the sake of his many years of meritorious service to the Xin Han Kingdom and His Majesty, please forgive him!"
"Please be gracious, Your Majesty!" I stood up and pleaded with Liu Fei, the old ministers of the family.
"What, are you trying to force the palace?" Liu Fei slapped on the dragon chair, then stood up and asked everyone with angry eyes.
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare, the ministers hope that Your Majesty can think twice and not regret it because of anger!" Ding Yuan still persuaded him wholeheartedly, in Ding Yuan's heart, he thought that Liu Fei was taking this opportunity to make all the old ministers of the previous family clan clear, he thought that Liu Fei was not wrong to do this, but he had to do it step by step, and he couldn't get rid of so many clan ministers at once!
"Ding Aiqing, I know that you are thinking about me, you think that I am blinded by anger, and I am bent on revenge on the clan ministers, and I want to get rid of all the clan ministers, right?"
"Damn it!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can be responsible for telling you that I have always been a meritocracy, regardless of my background and family background, what I need is for everyone to work together to develop Xinhan, whether you are a common person or a child of a family, you are not the same as my subjects of the Xinhan Kingdom, and the same is the same as the courtiers of my Xinhan Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty. ”
"However, there are people who don't want me to develop the Xinhan Kingdom, and would rather sacrifice the interest of the country to get rich benefits for themselves, Zheng Xipo, I have been crying out here for a long time, don't you just think that I am a faint king, and I will put you in prison for no reason, right? No problem, I will explain to all Aiqing, it seems that you were the one who went to Xuzhou to be an inspector last month, and you didn't agree after I asked for a long time, what is the reason?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has forgotten?"
"Forgotten? That means you're not old, and your memory has faded first, right?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen's memory is indeed a little declining!"
"I see that you don't have memory loss, but you deliberately don't want to answer me, and you don't dare to answer me! It's only been a few months, and you've forgotten it completely, and no one will believe it!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has indeed lost his memory, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility, so I implore Your Majesty to allow Weichen to return to his hometown. ”
