Chapter 59: Purging the Chao Gang

In the history of the Wu Dynasty, the most taboo thing was unauthorized reforms, especially major matters related to the country and the country.

The Wu Dynasty is now in a mess, with the government in chaos and the people miserable.

Not all officials were loyal to Liu Zhongqing. It was only because of the huge influence and power of the Liu family that they had to submit to Liu Zhongqing.

This time Li Yunxing presided over the morning court in order to clean up the court!

"Your Highness, the old minister feels that Lang Zhongling is not trying to deny General Lian's achievements. It is just a matter of collaborating with the enemy and should not be trivial. If the Crown Prince wants to rehabilitate General Lian, he can wait until His Majesty Emperor Wu wakes up and then issue another imperial edict.

Tell the world."

Liu Zhongqing still refused to give up and warned the prince not to be too hasty.

Li Yunxing frowned, his eyes dark.

"Emperor Wu is unconscious now. If everyone in the Wu Dynasty has to wait for His Majesty Emperor Wu to decide all matters, big and small, then what's the use of raising waste like you?"

"I am the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom. I should obey the destiny, inherit the holy virtue of Emperor Wu, and make decisions on all matters of the Wu Dynasty."

"Today, I will personally issue an order to vindicate General Lian."

"If you are dissatisfied, just stand up!"

The prince's domineering words immediately shocked most people.

Even if a small number of people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey the prince's will.

Liu Zhongqing took a deep look at the prince and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, you must think carefully. Emperor Wu is asleep and it is the autumn harvest season. The granaries of various counties and counties are short of food, and they need to allocate food to the victims. If the prince is at this time,

If you rashly issue an order to overturn the verdict of General Lian, those hungry people who are so hungry that they are crying will definitely cause trouble."

"At that time, if the people riot because of the wrong decree given by you, the prince, it will become an eternal infamy. Has the prince ever thought about how he should explain to Emperor Wu when his majesty gets better?"

"If His Highness the Crown Prince ignores the common people of the country for his own selfish interests, that would be a treasonous act!"

Liu Zhongqing's words were precious, and his remarks nailed Li Yunxing to the pillar of shame for his treason.

Li Yunxing snorted, "General Lian Zhan is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has made great military exploits for our Wu Dynasty, but he was framed by traitors. Even though he suffered such unfair treatment, he has never betrayed his country and collaborated with the enemy. In the Wu Dynasty, he would rather give up his military power and stay behind the scenes.

, to contribute to our government. He dedicated everything to the country and His Majesty, but in exchange for slander and slander from you and others!"

The more Li Yunxing spoke, the louder and more intense his voice became.

"The Wu Dynasty is a state of etiquette. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in dilemma. General Lian Zhan was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he was falsely accused and framed by traitors. What was wrong with him! Do heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country deserve to be unjustly accused and slandered by others?

?!"

"Without General Lian, how could you, these weak and weak scholars, still be able to speak nonsense in this palace?!"

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

Everyone was silent, and even the sound of breathing became extremely clear.

Li Yunxing's body was upright and his eyes were bright and shining.

That kingly aura that looked down on all directions made the civil servants present lower their heads in shame.

"Furthermore, Mr. Liu, I dare to ask what is self-interest?"

"Of course it refers to His Highness the Crown Prince's personal selfishness."

The prince looked solemn and said in a stern tone: "Then I dare to ask what is the relationship between Su Tianyang and Liu Zaifu?"

This was a topic that the officials never dared to bring up. Everyone agreed that Su Tianyang's presumptuousness had a close relationship with Liu Zhongqing.

Liu Zhongqing's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Although this person is my nephew, he also went through many examinations before becoming an official. As the old saying goes, when promoting a virtuous person, one should not avoid relatives. If every virtuous minister cannot be treated fairly, then every virtuous minister will be treated fairly.

Doesn’t it chill people’s hearts?”

The prince snorted coldly and said: "Liu Zaifu really knows how to excuse himself."

"Su Tianyang and you are considered blood relatives. He made a lot of money in Jingzhou, but you don't know. This is a sign of neglect!"

"Furthermore, regardless of the blood relationship between Su Tianyang and you. As the prime minister of the dynasty, Mr. Liu has the responsibility to supervise all officials and uphold the law. Su Tianyang collected so much money from the people in Jingzhou, but Liu Zaifu never

Report it to the court, this is your dereliction of duty!"

"We were all standing in the court, and under torture and extortion, Su Tianyang still refused to tell the truth. Isn't it because you, a good uncle, are backing him up?"

"Ryu Zaisu wants to end the relationship now, but it's a little too late."

This was said very harshly.

Liu Zhongqing's face became more and more ugly. He glared at the prince angrily and said, "Prince, don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone looked shocked when they heard what the prince said.

No one dares to evaluate Liu Zhongqing's power and status in the Wu Dynasty.

Even the emperor used to avoid his sharp edges and never confront Liu Zhongqing easily.

But the scene before them made everyone realize that the prince had grown up.

At least the current prince is no longer afraid of Liu Zhongqing's threat.

The prince walked slowly up to the throne with a smile on his face.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he looked down at the civil and military officials at the foot of the steps and said calmly: "Since I have taken this position, I naturally want to be a wise king. For example... to clean up the imperial court for the Wu Dynasty."

Liu Zhongqing's face was livid, and he said sadly: "Punt Chao Gang? I wonder how His Highness the Crown Prince is going to purge Chao Gang?"

The prince glanced at him and said, "Liu Zaisu, there is no need to be angry with me. I have no intention of becoming your enemy. The purge of Chao Gang is not aimed at you alone, but at everyone here."

"If you cannot be used by the Wu Dynasty, there is no use keeping you."

This sentence fell into the ears of everyone, causing countless ministers to change their expressions.

No one expected that the prince would make such a change in just a few days.

The prince's methods were resolute, decisive and clear-cut, without any sloppiness, and he directly put the contradiction in the open.

"If you want to continue serving as an official in the government and keep your official title, you must show your worth."

Li Yunxing's expression remained as usual, but every word was like a huge weight, pressing on everyone's chests.

The ministers looked away from Li Yunxing, fearing that they would be the next to die.

Immediately, Li Yunxing waved his sleeves and robes, turned around, climbed onto the imperial platform, and said loudly: "I am pleased to announce the decree!"

Jin Xi sighed and took a bright yellow scroll from the wooden tray beside him.

The materials of the imperial edict are very exquisite. They are all damask fabrics made of fine silk. The patterns are mostly auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes, which are magnificent. There are flying silver dragons on both ends of the imperial edict as anti-counterfeiting signs.

The prince actually wanted to issue an imperial edict, which was unprecedented in the history of the dynasty.

Qi Ming wanted to say something else, but Liu Zhongqing stopped him.
