: The heads roll

Shaanxi, Xi'an Prefecture.

A large execution ground was built in Chang'an City, surrounded by dense crowds of people.

"So many officials, as well as the prefect, the Tongzhi, and the commander of the Chang'an Guard... are all going to be beheaded now. What is the origin of this new governor? Are you not afraid of offending too many people?"

"Hmph! These corrupt officials deserve to die! In recent years, many people have died, but they have enjoyed wine, meat and fun every day. No matter whether we people live or die, we should have killed them long ago, and killed them well!"

"The new governor is Master Qingtian!"

"Master Qingtian!"

"Kill! Kill these corrupt officials!"

The people were angry and kept applauding!

In the execution ground, officials from the seventh rank and above of Xi'an Prefecture basically came to watch the execution, and many of them were promoted. Some of the people who were about to be sentenced to be executed were their exes.

"start!"

The person who presided over the execution was the new governor of Shaanxi, named Liu Xuan (Liu Bei). After becoming the governor, Liu Bei came directly to Xi'an Prefecture.

Xi'an Prefecture is the richest place in Shaanxi, with the most corrupt officials here. Even if there are famine and corpses everywhere, they are still enjoying the world.

Every official questioned to behead him will declare their crimes and the number of property confiscated.

The crimes were numerous and the number of property was astonishing, and the people were shocked and angry when they heard it!

"kill!"

"Kill these dog officials!"

The people were very angry. If any soldiers stopped him, they would probably want to kill these corrupt officials who sucked their blood with their own hands.

The entire execution process ended from morning to evening, killing people with heads and blood.

"As the governor of Shaanxi, this governor will return the sky to Shaanxi. Corrupt officials, inaction officials, and incompetent officials will be held accountable and those who are capable and willing to do things for the people will take over them..."

After chopping off the head, Liu Bei stood on the platform and said loudly: "Shaanxi has been famines continuously, and the people are like living in hell. How many people starve to death and how many people are wandering in a foreign land... But it won't happen in the future, and changes will come soon!

The court has allocated million taels of silver and a lot of food to Shaanxi. Our neighbor Shanxi has provided them with many potatoes before, but now there are a lot of corn and sweet potatoes later...

The most difficult time is about to pass, the court has not forgotten us, and the emperor has not forgotten us.

This year, the imperial court promoted corn, sweet potato and potato cultivation. Some places in Shaanxi can do it, but many places have not implemented it in place.

You have seen that growing corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are indeed better than growing other grains. Although they are coarse grains, they are the best ones to save lives!

Next year we must grow these things well so that we can have food and not starve to death.

Also, we have to build many reservoirs. The winter is long and snowy, so we can accumulate snow into the reservoir. There will be some water in the next year, which will at least make our harvest more.

As long as we work hard, we can survive, believe in the court, believe in ourselves, and let us live together..."

Liu Bei's speech was very inflammatory and it was talked about in the hearts of the people.

"Life!"

"Life!"

The shouts were shocked, and the officials present were shocked, and also moved.

Afterwards, Liu Bei went to other prefectures and prefectures in Shaanxi to provide disaster relief and patrol.

When you walk to a place, many officials will be questioned, most of them are corrupt officials, and some of them are in high positions but do nothing!

This year, officials from all over Shaanxi have been in full swing.

The landlord scolded Liu Bei for being cruel, a butcher, and a cruel official.

The people called him: Master Qingtian!

The effect is very good. The remaining officials and newly promoted officials will work hard. There are fewer people participating in the rebel army. Some even run out of the rebel army or bandits and return to their original homes.

This winter is still sad for the people of Shaanxi, but it is much better than in previous years. At least many people will not starve to death.

With the imperial government's grants and disaster relief grain, and the confiscation of the property of corrupt officials, we can barely deal with this winter.

Especially Shanxi provides a large amount of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, which saves the lives of many people in Shaanxi and allows them to know that these things can fill their stomachs and will actively plant them next year.

The imperial court was presided over by Li Shimin, especially in the north to promote corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. The effect is still there. Although the effect is not very large, the more grains than in previous years can also support many people.

Liu Bei killed many people in Shaanxi, Zhang Hao killed many people in Shanxi, and Li Shimin also killed many people when he inspected various places.

Therefore, at the end of the year, Zhu Youjian received many impeachments against Liu Bei, Zhang Hao and Li Shimin.

At the court meeting, the censors even criticized the words, as if the Ming Dynasty was about to be destroyed because of Liu Bei, Zhang Hao, and Li Shimin!

These censors were used by various parties in the court to attack other officials and the emperor. They really dared to point at Zhu Youjian's nose and scold him, and even wanted to persuade him if he died.

Li Shimin was isolated in the cabinet and targeted. He completely controlled the Ministry of Revenue. This was a bag of money and it was a lot of money. They didn't want Li Shimin to take it alone.

Moreover, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and the others realized that Li Shimin was used by the emperor to check and balance them. The key is that Li Shimin is very talented. Last year, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works achieved outstanding political achievements.

The Ministry of Revenue promoted the effect of Xiang Yu of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which allowed the court to turn over more grain. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue has also done a good job in scheduling food nationwide this year, and the disaster situation in Shaanxi has been alleviated to a certain extent.

The Ministry of Industry has built a lot of cement and coal workshops, especially cement, which are very useful for building water conservancy.

The more Li Shimin is capable, the more they seem to be incompetent. How can such a person who stands out in the crowd be safe and sound? So they use various means to deal with Li Shimin.

If it were Zhu Youjian in the past, Li Shimin might have been dismissed because of suspicion, but Zhu Youjian is now different.

Although Zhu Youjian trusted Zhang Hao the most among Zhang Hao, Liu Bei, Wu Zetian and Li Shimin, Zhu Youjian believed in Li Shimin and others more than the ministers in the court.

"Why does the emperor believe in Li Weimin so much? This person used to be just a down-and-out scholar!"

"It's a shame that a mere down-and-out scholar is now equal to me in the cabinet!"

"There are also Zhang Hao from Shanxi and Liu Xuan from Shaanxi, how did the emperor discover their talents, especially Zhang Hao is less than 20 years old!"

"I know that Liu Xuan from Shaanxi was recommended by Hong Chengchou, the general of the Three-Border Army, but Zhang Hao and Li Weimin don't know who recommended it to the emperor. Is there anyone behind the emperor's guidance?"

"There is also the East Factory, and the Jinyiwei is growing stronger and cannot be allowed to develop, otherwise a second Wei Zhongxian will emerge!"

"Full efforts to search for evidence of Li Weimin, Liu Xuan, Zhang Hao and others, and boycott Dongchang and Jinyiwei together."

"The emperor has never listened to advice?"

"Then let's give advice to death! If you don't give advice to death, we will advise outside the palace gate together, or stop the court!"

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are now united.

What they are best at is "crying, making a fuss, and hanging themselves", and then using the "dragon-slaying technique"!

Ordinary emperors can't resist their methods.
