When Yuchi Gong was still the prince, he investigated and handled several major cases, which were not what he wanted. This was the situation.
His imperial grandfather was not a diligent monarch. He was greedy for pleasure and did not like to go to court. He often left political affairs to the courtiers below.
However, the former emperor was often unable to handle political affairs in the previous dynasty. He did not seek merit but sought no fault. He was merciful and soft-hearted, but his methods were not decisive enough, and the ministers below him were distracted.
This has given rise to many problems. The two generations of monarchs either ignored the affairs of state or were not strong enough to suppress the courtiers below, making corruption increasingly serious and long-standing evils becoming more and more serious.
The problems accumulated by two generations of emperors came to the point where Yuchi Gong had to take drastic measures.
Otherwise, the major corruption case in water transportation four years ago would not have reached the point where the prince personally took risks and went to investigate thoroughly.
The corrupt money that was discovered later was able to fight a big war and still make a small surplus for the state treasury, which shows how huge the corruption is.
"That veteran minister has been in the government for many years and has deep roots. He is accustomed to relying on his old age to sell off his old age. I also secretly investigated for a year before uprooting him."
Yuchi Gong and Lihua slowly explained the reason.
Lihua was amazed, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised without hesitation: "Long live Lord is really a capable person, with outstanding talent, just like a heavenly being, and invincible to anyone!"
But I was very happy to hear the praise of Lihua. After all, the big thief praised her too much sincerely.
Why wait until he ascends the throne to eliminate obstacles that can be overcome by the late emperor's power when he becomes the crown prince? At that time, there will be no doubts about those people who will add obstacles to his administration.
From now on, the ministers who made mistakes would go to the late emperor's house to cry and beg for help. Small crimes would become serious crimes, and major crimes would become guilty.
The late emperor was just kind-hearted but not stupid. Once Yuchi Jiangshan was involved, he immediately became angry and gave up his soft-hearted order to investigate.
Yuchi Gong never gave those people a chance. Regarding the temper of the late emperor, there are people who know better than me.
Lihua couldn't imagine it, and said to herself: "It must be very difficult, after all, that kind of work can easily offend people."
The late Emperor was known for his kindness and softness, so I will guide my father to make up his mind.
Of course, there was never a time when a concubine gave the late emperor a blow, or when other princes fanned the flames, but when the late emperor changed his attitude slightly, Yuchi Gong didn't notice and dealt with it, and settled everything in the end.
You know how many princes the late emperor gave birth to. If no one fanned the flames to encourage the late emperor, it would be difficult for the monster's iron-blooded tactics to arouse the late emperor's suspicion and cause him to lose support.
These people who wanted to plead for mercy heard that it was a minor crime of confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans, and they were afraid of being implicated. How could they dare to go to the late emperor to plead for mercy? Even if they went, Ruan Wanyong would not respond.
At this age in modern times, you can only read books, but the evildoer has finished working hard for heaven and clearing away the moths in the court.
When Yuchi Gong received the decree, he would often put all the people who should be arrested into prison after the guilty ministers had reacted, cutting off the way forward and killing them with one blow. There was absolutely no possibility of going to the late emperor's cry for help.
There was still news about these guilty officials, and Yuchi Gong had already listed all the evidence of the crime to the late emperor, told the suffering of the people, and explained the harm to heaven and Yuchi's country.
Some people are born with geniuses. For example, the young general Huo Qubing was granted the title of Xu at the age of nineteen. That is already an exaggeration.
In the heart of the late emperor, Yuchi Gong was afraid of hardship and exhaustion and tried his best to carry out my will. He was simply suspicious.
All the ministers in the court have seen the prince's outstanding skills. When Ruan Wanyong ascends the throne, who dares to make trouble?
Although the position of the prince was being watched from all sides, it was ultimately as stable as a mountain.
The late emperor knew that he was not an incompetent monarch. I suffered deeply from the mess left by the next emperor, so I followed my heart to the best of my ability. I thought that the previous generation would still be like this.
I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not as difficult as I thought."
Although Yuchi Gong thinks that these past events are nothing, I am just pursuing my own affairs in my position.
And the living person in front of her, no matter how old he was at that time, had accomplished so many great things and displayed his strong political talent.
