But it is quite rare for a Legalist monk like Li Si to hold the power of the world alone.
"What does your Majesty want to do?"
"Even if he is a close confidant... this promotion is too fast. Even if the Southern Emperor promoted Xu Tiangang back then, he would not be so fast."
Many people dare not accuse Lu Yu face to face, but only dare to talk about it privately.
This news also reached Lu Yu's ears through various channels, but Lu Yu ignored it.
His attention has been fully focused on the process of laying out the world. Huang Gou is right, the future is bumpy, but only by moving forward can we be able to look at the direction. What's more, Wen Sheng and the two demon clan Taoists,
Everyone was willing to be his backer, and Lu Yu didn't feel like he was alone.
Under Lu Yu's instruction, Li Si launched a liquidation of the Xu family.
First, Xu family members were convicted according to the crimes they committed.
Second, all the Xu family's land in the imperial capital was confiscated and their property confiscated.
At Li Si's request, the trial of the Third Law Division was held in a huge hall. Thousands of people were invited to watch, and officials selected by the Third Law Division conducted the trial.
In the past, the trial process was usually only conducted in the yamen. Outsiders could only watch from a distance and could not clearly see what was going on inside.
But now, the Tribunal has actually set up jury seats in the hall so that everyone can watch the entire trial process up close, which is really eye-opening.
On the day of the trial, more than one million people signed up, and ultimately, under the review of the government, a thousand people were selected to participate in the jury.
The imperial court assured the world that the record of that day's trial would be recorded in a crystal ball and spread to all directions for display.
The Xu family has many members, and the trial was only conducted on some of the Xu family members who were imprisoned.
Everyone watched the four-hour long trial intently.
Among them, there are two extremely controversial cases.
A military general with outstanding merits from the Xu family, he once loved his subordinates, cared about the people, and had a very high reputation among many sergeants. But such a man was sentenced to exile for selling his official position and gaining a title.
Another member of the Xu family, who was Xu Tiangang's cousin, was acquitted because he had not committed any crime.
As soon as the two incidents came out, they immediately caused a sensation in the Imperial Capital and even the entire heaven.
"Since ancient times, it has been common for emperors to kill the nine clans when they succeed. But why should the Xu family be released?"
"All trials are conducted in accordance with the law. It seems that your Majesty is destined to bring Legalism to the forefront."
With the spread of the crystal ball, this method of trial has also been popularized all over the world.
Compared to the public trial, another incident really caused a sensation in the entire heaven.
Everyone saw that numerous officials rushed into the Xu family's house and began to ransack the property.
It took a full five days to just count the Xu family's property, and the property the Xu family controlled in the Imperial Capital was an astonishing number.
That was the total tax revenue for two years during the heyday of the Yu Dynasty!
This is only the wealth that the Xu family retained in the Imperial Capital. Before this, the Xu family had already transferred most of their property.
Everyone was secretly shocked. The Xu family had indeed become a behemoth, and was as wealthy as any other country.
Lu Yu ordered people to put all the money into the national treasury, and at the same time asked the Xu family to select a new head of the family and declare his loyalty to the imperial court.
