The minister frowned, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Then kill them all!"
Li Si stopped arguing and turned to look at Lu Yu.
Several ministers also reacted and saluted Lu Yu one after another.
No matter how they argue, the final decision-making power is still in Lu Yu's hands.
Lu Yu had been watching the fire with insight. From the arguments of these people, he gradually understood some of the ministers clearly.
Those who support the annihilation of the Xu family may not really want to help Lu Yu avenge it, but more likely they want to free up the Xu family's property so that they can occupy it instead of the Xu family.
Over the years, the Xu family has monopolized many industries and achieved astonishing wealth.
With such a huge amount of wealth in front of him, it naturally attracted the jealousy of many people.
Behind these ministers, there is the support of each family. They are arguing endlessly in the Qiankun Palace. In fact, they are fighting for the interests of the families behind them.
"In the ninth year of Taiqian, the late emperor canceled the record of genocide in the Dayu Code. What's more, the Xu family is a popular surname. I will not let millions of people be buried with them just because a few scum have appeared."
Lu Yu looked at Li Si: "Dali Temple conducts inspections in accordance with the laws of Dali. Don't wrongly accuse a good person, and don't let a bad person go."
"I obey." Li Si knelt down to accept the order.
The ministers who were arguing were shocked.
They soon realized a mistake in the timing of Li Si's appearance.
The timing was a bit too coincidental, as if it had been arranged long in advance.
"Could it be that Li Si was sent out by His Majesty himself?" Many people suddenly had such an idea.
No one here is stupid, and those who can climb to this position are all extremely resourceful people.
"Every sentence must be true to the law, and everything must be done in accordance with the law. Your Majesty is... going to use Legalism again!"
Many Confucian monks suddenly turned pale as if they were mourning their heirs.
A long time ago, Confucianism had always had a monopoly on the government affairs of the court.
The only ones who can compete with Confucianism are the military strategists. However, most of the military monks are engaged in military service, but they are not as good at government affairs as Confucianism.
No one thought that Lu Yu, as a disciple of Literary Sage, would target Confucianism with his first sword!
Li Si is a disciple of Legalism!
If he is allowed to gain power, will Confucianism still have a status in the future?
"Song Qinhu! Chai Longxiang! Lu Jingsheng!" Lu Yu named three names.
"I'm here!"
The three people walked out from among the ministers and were treated with the courtesy of courtiers.
In the past, they were warriors fighting side by side.
But when Lu Yu sat on the dragon chair, their identities had been reversed.
From then on, it was just the emperor and his ministers meeting each other.
"You each lead your troops to garrison the imperial capital to calm the people and bring order."
"As you command!"
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Household Affairs! Yin of the Imperial Capital! You sent people to investigate the price of grain in the city. The government intervened. Make sure to keep prices stable."
"Ministry of War, please prepare a pension plan for me and start collecting lists of all soldiers who died in the Tang-Yu War."
…
Lu Yu then made a series of careful arrangements.
The imperial capital was affected by the war and was in need of reconstruction.
Fortunately, Lu Yu was the number one scholar in the past.
He is not a hands-off shopkeeper who knows nothing but brute force.
Under Lu Yu's layout, orders were distributed one after another.
The court meeting lasted for three full hours before it ended.
After that, Lu Yu left the court, but instead of moving into the palace, he got up and left.
At this time, there were Zhao Yuanyan's concubine and family members in the palace. It was still quite inappropriate to move in at this time.
