Liu Zhongqing had big beads of sweat rolling down his face.

Li Yunxing saw this and felt even more proud.

"I am kind and considerate of his old age, so I just sent him back to his hometown. Isn't this the imitation of Emperor Wu's benevolent heart?"

Liu Zhongqing's expression suddenly changed, and Li Yunxing actually carried Emperor Wu out to suppress him.

"But...but the other people in Zongzheng Temple are so innocent, Prince..."

"This is the second crime Master Liu has accused me of, abuse of power."

"Officials of Zongzheng Temple all resigned on their own initiative. I have left several letters of resignation from them, in which they confessed their crimes of dereliction of duty and voluntarily paid fines just to resign and return home."

Jin Xi was familiar with the current situation and handed over dozens of letters requesting dictionaries. Each official wrote a few pages eloquently.

The total number of resignation letters from more than a dozen officials was as thick as a book.

"No, the prince forced them to write these!"

"Master Liu, have you read these resignation letters?"

"Never."

Liu Zhongqing didn't understand what medicine Li Yunxing was selling in his gourd.

"Then I'll take a random letter and read it to Mr. Liu."

"My official, Zhao Qian, has been serving as the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple for twenty years. I have contemplated my own mistakes and deeply feel that my actions are contrary to human ethics."

"First, he had an affair with his colleague's wife, causing her death; second, he drowned his daughter when she was born; third, despite the dissuasion of his parents, he insisted on marrying a Goulan woman, causing his father to be bedridden because of anger, but he was still immersed in In the beauty, I forgot the word filial piety! This kind of sin is really a big mistake! Now I feel extremely ashamed when I think about it!"

"Knowing that I was no longer qualified to serve as the young minister of Zongzheng Temple, I asked myself to leave the capital and return to my hometown to serve as a filial piety. However, I was ashamed of my trust in Emperor Wu, so I paid a fine of one thousand taels of silver and donated to the government to repair the palace, build bridges and pave roads. To express my apology..."

If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?

How can these erotic incidents about how much flesh a man has under his body be a reason to resign?

However, Emperor Wu had always advocated the importance of ethics in the court, and Liu Zhongqing could not argue with him no matter how much he wanted to.

Seeing that the prince was gradually gaining the upper hand, Linghu Hong knelt down and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the prince just wants to seize power. You can no longer condone him..."

"Master Taifu, do you have any physical evidence to impeach me like this?" Li Yunxing asked.

Linghuhong gritted his teeth and said, "No."

"Is there anyone who can testify? There are more than ten people who have sued and returned home. Isn't there any one who dares to correct me?"

"this……"

Linghu Hong was speechless and felt even more aggrieved.

Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows in contempt and continued, "Since the Grand Tutor cannot provide conclusive evidence, he is trying to frame me and provoke civil strife in the imperial court."

Linghu Hong broke into a cold sweat and couldn't say anything in defense for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

Liu Zhongqing hurriedly kowtowed and explained: "We have been working together with the Taifu in the officialdom for decades. How could the Taifu attempt to usurp the country? All this is because the prince is really cruel and bloodthirsty, which makes the subordinates panic!"

"But I have killed all the guilty officials, so why are you panicking?" Li Yunxing asked calmly, "Could it be that you have also violated the law?"

Liu Zhongqing wanted to argue a few words, but was reprimanded by the emperor.

"I declare that you are not here to have a quarrel of words." He looked at the four people who were kneeling down with an angry look on his face, "What kind of quarrel is this?"

Emperor Wu only scolded the four people who were kneeling, but did not scold the prince in the slightest. This is a bit thought-provoking.

Looking back at Li Yunxing, Emperor Wu motioned for him to continue.

"Yesterday, my minister indeed killed hundreds of people, but he was not the bloodthirsty Mr. Liu claimed."

"Shen Hongyun committed suicide and stole millions of stones from the state treasury granary, and sold them to the people of Jingzhou at a price much higher than the market price."

"The people in Jingzhou were already troubled by floods and were in dire straits. Shen Hongyun took the opportunity to resell grain and raise market prices, making many poor people unable to afford food, and famine spread to the entire Jingzhou..."

"Lu Yan was even more abominable. In order to continue to search for people's wealth in Jingzhou with Shen Hongyun, he secretly misappropriated the disaster relief grain distributed by Emperor Wu. The hungry people rioted with the intention of going to the capital to demand justice, but they were ambushed by his men, and most of them died on the road.

"

"The behavior of these two people is extremely evil. If they are not killed, the people will not be angry, and if they are not killed, it will not be enough to comfort the wronged souls!"

"So I executed them all to commemorate those innocent people who died in vain."

The young man knelt on the ground and his voice was sonorous and powerful, like thunder that exploded in everyone's ears.

There was silence in the main hall.

Fuman, the new eunuch chief, rolled his eyes, then leaned close to the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, I also heard some rumors last night."

Emperor Wu's eyes flashed: "Oh?"

Fuman lowered his eyebrows and smiled and said: "According to rumors... His Highness the Crown Prince found out that the grain depot was embezzled by the Third Agricultural Minister, so he wanted to liquidate it all. Shen Hongyun and Lu Yan were all beheaded, and Shu Qian was

He commits suicide out of fear of sin.”

Emperor Wu squinted his eyes and looked at the little eunuch who was bowing his head in front of him, and seemed to be quite interested in what he said.

Fuman continued: "They were paraded through the streets and beheaded at the Meridian Gate. The people all clapped their hands and praised the prince as a wise king who is a blessing to all people."

"I also praise Emperor Wu for his wise teachings. He not only governs the world in an orderly manner, but is also a wise master."

Fuman's words became more flattering and flattering as he went on, but in the ears of the courtiers, they felt as painful as acupuncture.

The corners of Emperor Wu's lips curled up slightly, showing an expression of satisfaction: "Prince, is this really true?"

When someone helped him speak, Li Yunxing naturally would not refuse, and secretly gave Fuman a credit in his heart.

"My son is only supervising the country on behalf of the emperor, so how dare he ask for credit. Praising Emperor Wu for his sage is nothing more than what the people want."

Emperor Wu was very pleased and said with a smile: "Okay, the prince has a heart of filial piety and brotherhood, which is in line with my wishes!"

Now Liu Zhongqing and the four others had no right to speak. Emperor Wu had obviously believed those rumors. No one should try to overturn the situation again.

"This time for the renovation of Zongzheng Temple, a total of ten thousand taels of fined silver was collected, and all of it has been transferred to the state treasury. I sent people to thoroughly check the land deeds of all the properties of Sinong Qing. In addition to the one million gold fines seized on site, there were also more

In Lu Yan's other courtyard, nearly two million taels of silver were found, as well as dozens of banknotes in denominations of one thousand taels, and an account book listing evidence of corruption and bribery by the clan and officials."

After hearing Li Yunxing's reply, Emperor Wu's eyes flashed: "In this way, these corrupt worms in the court can be uprooted."

At this time, Grand Tutor Linghu Hong was so frightened that he could not even kneel down. He lay limply on the ground, trembling all over!

"What? The master also knows that account book?"

Li Yunxing's question made Linghuhong urinate on the spot, and the fishy yellow liquid flowed out from the Taifu's body.

He is already sixty years old, but he is so frightened that he loses control!

He stammered for a long time and still couldn't utter a single word. It was obvious that he was extremely scared!

"It seems that Taifu really knows the inside story. Why don't you... Taifu tell you everything you know!"

Li Yunxing spoke indifferently, while Linghu Hong's face turned pale.
