Inside the Jinluan Palace, there was a scene of horror.
These powerful officials have been frightened.
At the entrance of the palace, the big fat head of Qian Kui, the Minister of Household Affairs, was still covered in blood and steaming. Who wouldn't be afraid when he saw this?
Jinluan Palace has completely fallen into a dead silence.
When Li Yi saw this scene, he sneered secretly in his heart, glanced at the ministers, and started the next action.
"My dear friends, now..."
Before Li Yi could finish speaking, the two ministers of Dali Temple and the two censors who came out spoke again and interrupted Li Yi.
"Your Majesty, you killed Qian Kui, the Minister of Household Affairs, in the Jinluan Palace just because of his impeachment remarks. It is an unprecedented absurdity!"
"The words of impeachment are the duties of civil servants. They are to discipline the emperor and punish the people. Although Mr. Qian Kui Qian made inappropriate remarks, he will not be punished until death!"
"How is your Majesty's behavior today different from that of a foolish king?"
"Yes, your Majesty, please give us an explanation for the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, and give an explanation to the scholars of the world!"
"..."
There are really some people who are not afraid of death.
Li Yi pursed his thin lips, and the corners of his cold mouth became even colder.
However, the other five ministers did not move.
What came out were these four small fish and shrimps.
"Explain, you want me to give you an explanation, okay, I will give you an explanation as you wish!"
Li Yi stared with murderous intent, "Cao Qingyan!"
Cao Qingyan trembled, "I'm here."
"I order you to lead the internal machine supervisor to Mr. Qian Kuiqian's house to do an inventory."
"There are also four adults below."
"Anyone who has less than a hundred taels of silver at home!"
"I will reward him with a thousand gold coins today!"
"Otherwise...hum!"
After saying this, Li Yi smiled faintly at Cao Qingyan, "Master Cao, you have to clean up carefully."
"If you dare to make a mistake and wrong all loyal ministers, I will skin you!"
"In addition, anyone who dares to block it will be killed without mercy!"
"Behead first and tell later, do it cheaply!"
The two young ministers and two censors kneeling below were stunned!
Ning Wen, the Minister of War, was confused!
Xiang Guotian, the official minister, was confused!
Wei Jun, the Minister of Rites, was confused!
Li Cun, Minister of Industry, was confused!
Sun Zhen, the Minister of Punishment, was confused!
Qian Kui, the Minister of Household Affairs... was so cold!
I go!
What's going on?
This is not like sending someone to the house to count the assets.
Isn't this a house raid?
All the civil and military officials in the court had their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Who among you here doesn’t have a million taels of silver in your home?
I'm afraid even an unknown official in the capital has a lot of money, let alone these powerful officials.
But according to the law, coveting a thousand taels of silver is a capital offense, and a person who takes ten thousand taels of silver will be executed.
It's fine if no one checks at ordinary times, but if they do!
I’m afraid everyone present will have their heads thrown to the ground, and everyone will be executed!
It was at this time that many powerful officials realized why Cao Qingyan was in the court.
This is your Majesty's sword!
From the very beginning today, they had fallen into the pit dug by Li Yi.
Killing Qian Kui is the first step, and borrowing the words of several young ministers and censors is the second step. One step at a time, one after another, it is really cruel!
"Master Ning, do you have anything to say?"
Li Yi asked with concern and kindness on his face.
"Your Majesty, veteran..."
Ning Wen's eyes averted and he hurriedly explained: "You adults, some of your families are well-off, so it's not surprising that you have some wealth in your house."
Li Yi nodded, "That's right. As long as you can explain clearly how much money you got, I won't blame him."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Wen was completely speechless.
Who can explain his family property clearly?
They are all shady things.
Damn it if you could explain it clearly.
"Your Majesty, today you..."
Ning Wen's face was extremely gloomy, and a ruthless murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.
But how could this little trick be hidden from Li Yi.
Li Yi stood up suddenly, staring at the other party with his blazing and deep eyes without blinking, and a biting chill rolled through his body.
He had the intention of killing Ning Wen if he disagreed.
A terrifying chill instantly fell from the sky and fell hard on the top of Ning Wen's head, making him tremble in shock.
In just a moment, Ning Wen's back was already soaked.
That look was like that of a ferocious beast.
He was not killed on the battlefield, but determined not to have that look in his eyes.
Ning Wen was very frightened. He had witnessed the young emperor's ascension to the throne with his own eyes.
It couldn't be clearer what the little emperor did.
Otherwise, he would not be elected emperor.
How could a good-for-nothing prince who could only tease cats and dogs have such eyes?
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has been worrying about the country for the past few days. Please pay more attention to the health of the dragon."
The voice was low and the words were cold.
The other four ministers looked at each other and came out one after another.
"Yeah!"
"What Mr. Ning said is absolutely true. Your Majesty is working hard day and night on state affairs. As ministers, I can see it and feel pain in my heart."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty has worked hard. Your Majesty has worked too hard."
Other ministers spoke in agreement, looking worried about His Majesty.
Only Sun Tingzong suppressed his laughter and couldn't help but admired, "Your Majesty, you are still awesome."
He also got to know Li Yi again today. To be honest, he really couldn't believe that the person sitting on the dragon throne was the current His Majesty.
Your Majesty has really grown up.
As for Li Yi's thin lips, his face remained unchanged.
honestly.
If the ex were here, he would probably be moved to tears.
But what about Li Yi?
I'm really not moved at all, but rather disgusted.
Suddenly, Li Yi's eyes fell on Cao Qingyan. Cao Qingyan hadn't moved yet, "Master Cao, what are you still doing? I have so many loyal and loyal lovers supporting me. What are you waiting for? Kill these worms." Clean it up!"
"Go quickly!"
"Search carefully for me. Search every house. Don't miss a wall or a pillar!"
"For the sake of Master Ning and all of you dear friends, I cannot let these moths go!"
Li Yi pretended to be angry and scolded him sternly.
Cao Qingyan also suppressed a sneer, nodded quickly, glanced coldly at the group of pale-faced powerful officials in front of him, raised his head and walked out of the Golden Palace.
"ah……"
The two young ministers and the two royal censors fainted and died in the hall one after another.
Looking at Cao Qingyan's leaving figure, the hearts of these powerful officials were bleeding.
Their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, I'm afraid it will be their turn next.
Especially Li Yi’s words about cleaning out all the moths.
Aren't they borers?
Can we think that all the ministers present will have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated?
Oh my God!
Isn't it that His Majesty is out of his mind and wants to raid the homes of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty?
Isn't he afraid of causing public outrage and being forced into the palace again?
Little did they know that this was what Li Yi wanted to do, neither destroy nor establish. Since the big ship of Gale Dynasty was already riddled with holes, it would be better to sink it and build a new one.
As long as the mast and flag are there, this big ship can still sail a long way.
As for the consequences, it doesn't matter.
For the current situation, no consequences seem to matter. As long as you have money, you can arm the army and survive!
"Everyone, don't blame me for being cruel, I am short of money!"
Li Yi pretended to be helpless, "If you all donate a million taels, this matter will stop there."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil and military ministers present looked as if they had eaten dead flies.
It's green!
This group of hard-nosed roosters, asking them to pay would be worse than killing them.
But if you don't pull it out, it may be a house raid.
Make your own choice!
Seeing the painful expressions on the faces of the powerful ministers, Li Yi couldn't help but secretly laugh.
"Ahem!"
"No, tell Cao Qingyan, which other minister's family seems to be richer, let's search them all!"
