Those who impeached Dou Kuan summed it up and called him shameless. The prince had already said hello some time ago. Forget it if he took advantage of it. In the future, he was not allowed to exploit the common people at low prices. The land was their livelihood.

, without land at the bottom, there will be disaster sooner or later. No one understands the fragility of the small farmer economy better than Li Chengqian.

Many officials stopped after knowing the greetings and edicts, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would be dismissed from their posts. But these days there are many people who are speculating or seeking money rather than their lives. They don't care about the edicts at all.

Individual methods continue to acquire.

Some people are getting rich, and some are jealous. Then some anonymous letters of recommendation were submitted to the Ministry of Integrity, which happened to be in the hands of Dou Kuan, the new minister. If you don’t use you people to establish your authority, it’s not very good.

Wasted.

Hearing that there were still people who were taking the limelight, Wang Gui, Zheng Yi and other ministers from aristocratic families stood up one after another and asked the emperor to severely punish these low-level officials who had ruined the reputation of the imperial court in order to set the record straight and uphold the country's laws. What the hell, even these people

The disciples of important members of the aristocratic family have to look at the direction of the court. These guys from small families are really not afraid of meat and fish. Who can tolerate this?

Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou Qingliu also followed suit and agreed. If we don't severely punish these low-level officials today, will they cause even greater disasters when they become noble officials one by one?

"I remember that in the early days of Zhenguan, the prince told me that there are two types of corrupt officials, one is a disaster for the country, and the other is for the people. The former can be dealt with as appropriate, while the latter must be killed. Regarding his view, I

I didn’t make any comments, but today I want to tell you that I can remember the merits of my ministers, but if anyone destroys the foundation of Li Tang, then don’t blame me for not remembering the old relationship."

After speaking, the emperor stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at Li Chengqian and said: "Gao Ming, you are still the supervisor of the country now, I will leave this case to you." After speaking, the angry emperor turned around and left.

"Lai Gong, Liang Gong, and the two prime ministers, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Li Chengqian walked down the steps and sat on the last step and asked calmly.

"Returning to Your Highness, in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, whoever commits the crime of enclosure of land, regardless of his official position, will be dismissed from office, and his property will be confiscated and returned to the original owner; in the more serious case, he will be exiled for a thousand miles and have his family property confiscated. The enclosed land will be dealt with as before.

Among the dozens of people impeached by Dou Shangshu today, the highest-ranking officials are no more than seventh-grade, and the youngest are government officials, servants, and veterans. They think that destroying the land equalization system is destroying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. These criminals should be dealt with harshly.

, according to the amount of land occupied, they will be dismissed from office, exiled, or executed, and they will be severely punished according to the law without loan, in order to stabilize the people's hearts."

After what Fang Xuanling said, Du Ruhui straightened his robe and said with a cold face: "Your Highness, the foundation of Qingyuan is to establish authority. If you want to establish authority, you have to see blood. Only in this way can this unhealthy trend be stopped. Besides,

The imperial court has given them many orders and orders, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves. Such officials are already dirty and must be killed."

He is worthy of being the prime minister in charge of military affairs. If he does not speak, he must act, but if he acts, he must see blood. The reason why there is not as much corruption and deduction of military pay among the Tang army as there are in the local and state governments, is because the military orders are strict, and all those who commit crimes will be executed.

The word "power" shocked everyone's hands.

After nodding, Li Chengqian turned to Dou Kuan again: "Yan Ji, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Integrity. In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

"Back to Your Highness, I believe that what the two Prime Ministers said is true. The equalization of land is the foundation of national stability. Anyone who dares to think about it will naturally go without saying and will be killed without mercy!"

Hahaha... After listening to Dou Kuan's words, Li Chengqian started laughing. After glancing at the ministers in the palace, he said lightly: "As Prime Minister Cen said just now, it's the Chinese New Year, whether it's the court or us. We all need to seek some good luck, and if we go on a killing spree at this time, to be honest, it would be somewhat unlucky."

Oh, so many important ministers are shouting to be killed. If the prince can be merciful at this time, it is really the sun rising in the west. It seems that it is really the Chinese New Year and people are in a better mood. Otherwise, how could there be such a bargain? What's going on.

Just when the ministers thought that the small punishment and the big warning were over, Li Chengqian's next words made them shiver involuntarily, and the goosebumps on their bodies fell all over the ground, as if their bodies had fallen into an ice hole. The cold radiates from the inside out.

"Look at this, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Integrity, and the Dali Temple jointly raided the prisoner's residence. Aren't they greedy? I'd like to give them an autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, and I'd rather not embarrass the family if I'm kind.

As for those convicts, it was too cheap to kill them. The Ministry of Works sent people to build a skin farm temple next to the government office where they were located. All the convicts were skinned and erected in the temple to warn their successors about exploitation. This is the fate of ordinary people."

It ruined the emperor's enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year, so this festival will definitely be difficult this year. Since I am not having a good time, no one should even think about it. Today, I will use the tactics of that ruthless Zhu to cure these exploitations. The dog official of the people.

By the way, I would also like to remind everyone in your palace not to torture the people too much and not to annex land. Otherwise, not only will you die without a complete body, but you will be infamy for thousands of years and will never be reborn.

Before the officials from various ministries came out to take orders, Kong Yingda, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, stood up with a cane and said slowly: "Your Highness, the country should be governed based on benevolence and righteousness. Such torture is unheard of. Killing people can only be done with a nod. You It’s easy to do this.”

Seeing that Old Kong was going to educate himself in a long speech again, Li Chengqian waved to the guards in the palace and ordered them to send Kong Yingda back to the house first. But Old Kong struggled and shouted: Your Highness, you cannot sit in the government like this. Your cruelty will not only harm yourself, but also the Tang Dynasty!

Kong Yingda was old, and the guards didn't dare to drag him forcefully. There was no way he could have injured or disabled the old man, so they could only open their arms and carefully push him out step by step. But the old man was talking more and more nonsense. If he didn't get out of here quickly, he would be in trouble in his work. So after silently reciting "offense" in his heart, he increased his strength in his hands.

After taking a long breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "Kong Qing is my minister of the Tang Dynasty. How can you drag him out and leave him alone?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian touched the ring on his hand, squinted his eyes, and said solemnly: "Whether it is His Majesty or Gu, I don't know how many words to persuade Lian, but will it have any effect? ​​Not only does it not, but it is also full of tricks.

Good, good, they can find new ways to harm the people, and I can use new ways to punish them, and let them taste the suffering of the people who are asking the sky not to respond and the earth not to work. This is called reincarnation and retribution."
