No one knew how long the little emperor had been walking in this hall. Anyway, everyone was kneeling on the ground motionless, as if the air was about to freeze. Especially when the little emperor looked at him, he was even more frightened.
.
Finally, the little emperor saw everyone's faces clearly. Today, the little emperor could completely see the civil and military officials in this room.
Once you see your face clearly, you can also see your dirty heart clearly.
When the little emperor walked out of the crowd, he seemed to have aged a few years. It may be that his feet were tired from walking, or his heart was tired from watching, but no matter what, no one could forget the little emperor's faltering appearance.
, after all, since the young emperor ascended the throne, he has never been as haggard and decadent as he is today.
"Chen Xingxiu, do you still remember what I said to you last time?"
The little emperor walked to Chen Xingxiu and asked softly.
"Remember."
Chen Xingxiu nodded.
"explain."
"As a ruler, you should pay great attention to your sacred weapon and live in a large territory. You should not think about danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and be frugal. You should also cut down the roots in order to grow trees and block the source in order to grow. There is no greater harm in the world than greed." Chen Xingxiu.
shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the little emperor closed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the greatest harm in the world is greed!"
"You guys really chill me, my heart is chilling."
The little emperor slowly sat on the dragon chair, turned to the eunuch beside him and shouted: "Get a pen and paper, and draft an edict."
"OK."
The big eunuch hurriedly called to the little servant beside him and took out the Four Treasures of the Study. The little emperor stood up and took the pen. He was stunned for a moment, then threw the pen on the table and said through gritted teeth: "I don't even know how to write. What do you think?
, it really posed a huge problem for me!”
After the little emperor said this, he sighed and said to Chen Xingxiu: "Do you think this edict still needs to be written?"
"If the emperor thinks it is useful, then he will use it. If the emperor thinks it is useless, then he will not use it." Chen Xingxiu replied.
"good."
The little emperor nodded slightly, sat down on the dragon chair, held his head and said softly: "Yu Zhiming, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, come out."
"Wei Chen is here." Yu Zhiming quickly walked out of the crowd and responded loudly.
"You, the Minister of Household Affairs, are entirely to blame for what happened today. Do you have any objections to my demoting you now?" The little emperor leaned forward slightly and asked with squinted eyes.
"I am willing to be punished." When Yu Zhiming heard that he was being demoted instead of being imprisoned in a prison, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
"Okay." The little emperor nodded lightly, and then continued: "The position of Dali Zheng is now vacant. You can go."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Yu Zhiming kowtowed quickly.
"Thank you for nothing. Come down quickly." The little emperor waved his hands helplessly, then squinted his eyes and looked around the crowd and shouted loudly: "Zhang Hongkuang, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, where are you? Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man walked out of the crowd and promised with trepidation: "I have a humble duty."
The little emperor glanced at Zhang Hongkuang and said with a smile: "We have so many corrupt officials in Daliang. How did you become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? I will change your position for you. Do you think so?"
"I obey the decree."
"Well, the position of Chamberlain is suitable for you. You can go over." The little emperor nodded.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness."
The little emperor waved his hands slightly, and then said: "Qian Hongyi, the right prime minister of the Shangshu, Wang Feiming, the Taizhong doctor, Jin Kangshun, the general council doctor, and Luo Ruili, the censor, the four of you, please come out to me."
Four people walked out of the crowd.
The little emperor looked at these four people and said in a helpless tone: "I won't talk about others. I still know about you four corrupt officials. In fact, I have been giving you opportunities, but you never know how to restrain yourself. Since
The four of you like money so much, so just go home and count the money."
"Your Majesty! I have been wronged!" Qian Hongyi, the Prime Minister of Shangshu, shouted excitedly.
The little emperor smiled when he heard this, and shouted in a low voice: "You actually know that you have been wronged. The other three have gone to official uniforms. You, drag them out and chop them up!"
As soon as these words were said, two guards ran in, lifted up the shoulders of Qian Hongyi, the Minister of Finance, and dragged him outside.
"Your Majesty, I am really unjust, Your Majesty!"
Qian Hongyi's miserable voice resounded throughout the palace, but the little emperor seemed not to have heard it. He squinted at the remaining three people and asked, "Are you three still unjustly accused?"
The three of them shook their heads quickly.
"Go out, I don't want to see you." The little emperor waved his hand.
After the three people walked out of the hall, the little emperor continued: "Since you all like to be greedy so much, right? Well, starting from today, except for those twenty or so people, the salary of everyone else will be reduced by half for three years. You can be greedy."
, then greed, from today on I will let you be honest and honest, whoever is greedy more, I will consider him more powerful!"
All the civil and military officials below were trembling slightly, but no one spoke up to refute.
"Why, you won't say anything anymore, right? That's it!" The little emperor shouted, stood up from the dragon chair, and looked around at everyone with an expressionless face.
After a moment, the little emperor spoke again: "There are more than thirty officials above the fourth rank in the dynasty, and I have to dismiss four of them. I have to dismiss two of the six ministers. You all should take a good look at these six people!
Give me a good look, which one is not
Talking about serving the country and the people? Who is not the pillar of the imperial court? The late emperor handed the country into my hands, but I ended up like this. I am heartbroken. Today, after listening to Tang Qiwei’s words, I feel guilty.
The country is ashamed of its people!"
The little emperor paused for a moment, and then shouted: "Look at yourselves again, you are still standing here, but are you really clean? Do you really have a clear conscience? Don't think that I don't know, you
Some of these people are even more hateful and **** than these six people. I now
Although God has not deposed you, but if he does not depose you today, it does not mean that you are really safe. You all listen to me, today it is them, tomorrow it will be you, so I advise you to turn your heart, lungs and intestines inside.
Come out, wash and dry them, pick them up, and then put them away
Do you know that those who have been cleaned will appear in front of me again? If Tang Qiwei hadn't said these words to me today, one day the people of Daliang would rise up in rebellion. I don't know what happened! Thinking about the level of integrity in the previous dynasty, in the end
The country has been destroyed. What more do we have in Daliang? Just because I was born with
With a thousand years of luck, you can be unscrupulous, right? My world, I really can’t stand you so much. I really can’t stand it anymore. When doing things in the future, please feel your conscience! The emperor of the previous dynasty was in this palace.
Those who committed suicide, do you also want to see me go to that point?"
