Li Si said with a serious expression: "According to the laws of Dayu, the guilty will be punished according to the crime, and the innocent will be released!"
What!
All the ministers looked at Li Si in astonishment.
Everyone knows that Lu Yu and the Xu family have a blood feud. When Lu Yu was still an ordinary monk, he was severely punished by the Xu family one after another.
At this time, even the stupidest courtiers knew what to do. The Xu family could not be protected at all. The most correct choice now should be to target the Xu family severely and kill all the arrested Xu family members.
prison!
Li Si still wants to follow the law, which is simply wishful thinking.
"Sure enough, he is just a young man and doesn't understand the rules of officialdom at all." Some people sneered.
As the leader of the Lu Party, Li Si naturally attracted the attention of many people.
In the past, the Mainland Party was always in a passive situation under the suppression of the Xu family, and Li Si was not taken seriously by others.
But now that Lu Yu has ascended to the throne, Li Si, as a former classmate of Lu Yu and the leader of the Lu Party, naturally became the target of everyone's attention.
There are many people who hope that Li Si will be unlucky so that they can find opportunities to rise to the top.
Lu Yu asked: "Specifically, what do you plan to do?"
Li Si seemed to be prepared and said calmly:
"First, divide the prisoners in the prison into three classes."
"People like Jiang Junchen and Huang Zicheng betray their country for glory and seek power and wealth. Such people are the most abominable and their behavior is extremely bad. According to Dayu Law, they should be punished by execution."
"A second-class prisoner who is in his position but does not seek political power, has no talent or virtue, amasses money wantonly, and embezzles money from the country. Such people should be punished by being exiled and determined according to the degree of their guilt."
"Third-class prisoners are guilty themselves, but have not collaborated with the Xu family and have repentance. They can be temporarily imprisoned and can be released after the completion of their sentence."
A minister snorted coldly: "Master Li, according to what you said, the Xu family members are not guilty. What are you going to do?"
"The person who is not guilty will be released immediately! The government will also compensate for the losses caused by imprisoning him these days and order him to return on his own."
Li Si's voice was sonorous and powerful.
The minister sneered and said: "Huh! Back then, people from the Xu family were all over the government and the public, and no one dared to disobey them. Now that the Xu family has fallen and the new emperor has ascended the throne, you still dare to talk nonsense like this. Just relying on them to disobey Your Majesty is already a serious crime.
Come on! Let me see, these Xu family members should implicate all nine clans and leave no one behind!"
Another minister also came out and said loudly: "Everyone knows the crimes of the Xu family. According to the past rules, such a family must be confiscated and exterminated. The Xu family is no longer allowed to exist in this world!"
"Yes, genocide!"
"The Xu family is so rich that it surpasses the royal family. It is simply an act of rebellion. We must not allow these remnants to continue to live!"
The surrounding ministers responded one after another.
These people had been oppressed by the Xu family before in the court.
Now that the Xu family's power has fallen and they have regained the right to speak, they will naturally try their best to deal with the Xu family and make the Xu family pay the price.
Li Si said loudly: "The ill-gotten gains will naturally be confiscated, but those in the Xu family who are not guilty can be allowed to continue to live."
The minister sneered: "Humph! After the mission of eradicating evil is over, if the Xu family doesn't kill them all, who knows what day they will make a comeback?"
Li Si looked at the minister: "The Xu family has multiplied to this day, and together with the descendants of the family, there are still millions of people."
