After being busy for more than four hours, Suo Yuanli touched his face and looked at the corners of the bronze mirror's eyes twitching.
"Oh my god, it looks like that! This looks so much like that beast!"
"Okay, you are the beast now. Don't be intoxicated. You must remember that in the future you will come to Junchen. Suo Yuanli is dead. He doesn't have many habits. You should know that his body shape is similar. The voice needs some training.”
Suo Yuanli sighed and asked: "Commander, I used to be a third-rank official, but now I am like him, an official the size of a sesame seed. How can I contact the senior officials to report to the commander-in-chief?"
"It doesn't matter. Suo Yuanli's reputation is bad. It's normal to change him."
"Uh... ok, when will my subordinate go back?"
"When your voice is imitated perfectly, you can go out. Recently, you can claim to have recovered from the disease."
"As for him..." Li Yunxiao threw Lai Junchen into the copper urn.
Suo Yuanli looked at the copper urn and said fiercely: "That's right! That's right! This is called self-binding. Evil people will have their own evil people to grind hahahaha!!!"
Jiangchen raised his eyebrows: "Be careful what you say. Who is the evil person?"
"Uh..." Suo Yuanli felt as if his throat was being choked. He nodded quickly and bowed: "I am a villain, I am...hiss~~~" When he bent down, he pulled the wound, making Suo Yuanli grin. of.
Li Yunxiao threw out a pill: "It's useless to repair your internal injuries, but it will save you from scars. Take it."
"Oops? Marshal has really learned the lesson! Eat, eat, eat, you have to eat. It would be a shame to leave a scar on your body!"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "You really know how to speak."
Jiangchen wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Yunxiao: "Let's go, continue the investigation."
After Li Yunxiao and Li Yunxiao left, smelling the burnt smell coming from the copper urn, Suo Yuanli came to the rest of the people who had their acupoints tapped and began to interrogate them one by one personally.
Li Yunxiao left these people alive just so that Suo Yuanli could ask questions, no matter what the matter was related to, as much as he could ask.
....
Half a month later, Suo Yuanli and a handful of cruel officials were accused of corruption, accepting bribes, and collusion in rebellion.
The evidence signed and stamped was true. Suo Yuanli, who knew he was doomed, bit his tongue and suffocated to death in the prison!
These things were presented to the emperor along with the memorial and made known to the world.
Taking advantage of this, Wu Chengsi seized the opportunity to write a letter, claiming that Li Xiuyun's corruption and bribery were not serious, and besides, his surname was still Li, and he begged for appropriate leniency.
Having dealt with so many cruel and corrupt officials recently, Wu Zhao was in a good mood and was naturally willing to forgive.
So Li Xiuyun was pardoned from the death penalty, but he could not escape the death penalty. Li Xiuyun was dismissed from his post as a citizen, and all his family's wealth was transferred to the national treasury.
When Li Xiuyun heard this reply, she acted uglier than her dead parents.
His Li family is not the richest, but after all, ten thousand people tied together are not as good as them.
Now it's all gone, gone!
And this action also made many aristocratic families smell the sense of crisis...
October.
On an ordinary day, nearly a thousand people gathered outside the imperial city, pleading to meet the Holy One.
Wu Zhao was busy reviewing the memorials when he was shocked when he heard the news.
Could it be that there is another trouble?
Since she took the throne, everything has been for the people. Where did she go too far? Could it be that those aristocratic families have taken action?
In fact, the earliest aristocratic families were not that scary. They were bound by centralized power, and they could only give lectures and compile books.
But as time went by, the power of the powerful families gradually grew stronger. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the world situation was turbulent and the country's fortunes were not good, those fortunes that had been borrowed from the sky were finally lost.
This also led to the decline of centralization, and the power of powerful families reached its peak.
This power means that they not only control the world's knowledge and wealth, but also have their own private army. To put it bluntly, every aristocratic family is actually a feudal prince.
Not that no one has considered this kind of crisis, and even Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others have tried their best to suppress it.
It's a pity that the effect was very little. The so-called centipede insect died but did not freeze. With Sima Yan establishing the Western Jin Dynasty, the powerful family entered its heyday.
When she came here, she wanted to unite with the imperial masters to gradually eradicate and destroy the system of those aristocratic families.
At this point, even if she is ready to face the counterattack, she will still panic when she hears that some people are like this.
Thinking of this, she immediately put aside her government affairs and rushed to meet the people outside the palace on horseback.
When she climbed onto the Zetian Gate Tower and looked out, she saw not only nearly a thousand people, but literally thousands of people.
There were also confused officials and imperial guards, large and small, who didn't know why these people came running over.
Wu Zhao felt a little uneasy. More than two years ago, a group of people here tried to persuade her to take the throne. Now, perhaps they were trying to persuade her to step down.
After all, there have been too many killings recently, and maybe someone is involved.
Just as he was thinking about it, a shocking sound suddenly came from downstairs.
"Long live! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!!"
The cheers shook the heaven and the earth, and then fell into silence. All the people in front of them bowed to the ground, and the silence could be heard.
Wu Zhao was shocked for a moment, then felt a little unreal, slowly moved the corners of his mouth, and finally laughed.
"Flat body!"
Wu Zhao smiled happily and said: "Since I succeeded to the throne, although I dare not say that I work hard and sleep late, I still have the intention to do good and do things for the people of the world. I feel at ease!"
After finishing his words, Wu Zhao turned around, waving his dazzling yellow robe, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Pleasure!
Sense of accomplishment!
The feeling of being recognized by tens of thousands of people was much better than her intrigues in the palace, and she even felt that the fatigue of reviewing the memorial just now was relieved a lot.
Then Wu Zhao issued another edict that shocked the people all over the world, which was to reduce taxes by half this year!
The people are grateful for this. Natural disasters have rarely occurred in the past few years, but now that taxes have been reduced, they are nourished!
But the civil and military officials are different. Taxation was originally the same for every household, but Li Yunxiao changed this law many years ago.
That is, taxes are collected according to the grain output, not the size of the base.
Officials used to be busy for several months every year because of this, but now it has been halved and recalculated, and it may take a long time longer, which makes them miserable.
To this, Wu Zhao's response was simple, what do you want to eat? If there are any more complaints, then be demoted to common people and give up your position!
This cold attitude really frightened many people.
Wu Zhao was completely different to the people and officials, which made people fearful.
Some people even suspected that if they were demoted to common people today, they might have to be hacked to death without being able to leave the imperial city...
