In the Xuanzheng Hall, Xiao Yi, dressed in imperial robes, walked in and sat on the throne of the prince. The ministers shouted: "I pay homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness, be in peace!"
"My lords, please excuse me."
Xiao Yi sat on it and said in a loud voice.
After the ministers had finished their ceremony, Xiao Yi directly skipped the part where Eunuch Huaiji had something to do and said in a slow voice: "Today morning, I have three things to discuss."
The morning court in Daqian is once every five days. After all, for now, there is no need to hold a morning court every day to discuss politics.
In emergencies, if a morning court is required, officials will be summoned directly. If a morning court is not required, decisions will be discussed in the council hall. Some matters can also be discussed in memorials or in the East Palace.
And the early court discussions must be related to national affairs.
Xiao Yi took the initiative to discuss three matters, which made the ministers concentrate and plan to deal with them carefully.
I'm afraid none of these three things is simple.
"The first thing is that I made a speech last time in the morning. Nowadays, many cadres are waiting to be revitalized. There are also some unrest in various places. Corrupt officials are running rampant in the local areas."
"What Gu said is not nonsense, but has real basis and solid evidence."
"Droughts in Longyou Road happen every year, but there is no effective relief and management every year, which makes the people miserable. The entire Longyou Road has ten houses and nine empty houses. What a good state. Now it is full of wine and meat. The road is frozen to death.”
"In this way, local officials are still working together with wealthy businessmen, gentry, and big families to exploit the poor people, establishing gambling houses, issuing usurious loans, forcing good people into prostitution, trafficking in people, occupying fertile land, forcibly controlling some farmers to farm for them, and expropriating people. Use it like an animal!"
"This is Daqian, this is the Longyou Road of Daqian!"
"The so-called prosperous dynasty and the heavenly kingdom, but there is still such a place of hell on earth!"
"I've seen you alone, I can't wait for the Nine Yi Clan!"
There was an uproar in the Xuanzheng Hall.
The officials were shocked. They had already ignored the etiquette and etiquette in the Xuanzheng Palace and began to whisper to each other. The look in each other's eyes showed shock and disbelief.
And this shock was not that he was shocked that he did not know the situation of Long You Dao, but that he was shocked by how the Crown Prince knew the situation of Long You Dao. Does saying these words mean that he wants to attack Long You Dao?
"I dare you, old minister, to ask His Highness, is the Longyou Road really what Your Highness said?"
In the Xuanzheng Hall, a gray-haired old man asked with his hands raised.
Xiao Yi glanced at him. This man was already sixty years old. He was the owner of the Hongwen Pavilion and the Imperial Academy's Jiu Yanshi. He didn't have much real power, but his reputation was extremely high. He was known as a gentleman and was also a good man. The great calligraphers and painters do not usually participate in political struggles. They belong to the neutral faction that does not offend anyone, but no one will take the initiative to offend them.
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "This is a memorial sent by Pinglu General Yue Hongling, Longyou Dao Xuanfu Envoy, and Counselor Cai Jin. Gu Ye has asked people to investigate a little bit, and I am sure."
As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking his confirmation words, the entire civil and military court was in an uproar.
Yan Shigu shouted sadly: "Your Highness, if this is the case, please immediately send someone to clean up the entire Longyou Road, provide justice to the people of Longyou Road, restore the innocence of those who have been wronged, and bring justice to the millions of people in the world." Let the people give an account!"
"When Taizu was on the throne, he said that respecting Heaven requires not only solemn reverence and courtesy, but also strategies for action. Heaven has entrusted the important task of managing the people to the king. If a king wants to serve God, We must first show compassion to the people.”
"Being considerate to the people is the reality of serving heaven. Just like the people sent by Da Qian to serve as prefects, county magistrates and other officials, if they cannot benefit the people, they have betrayed the orders given to them by the king. There are more serious things than this. How disrespectful?!"
"Nowadays, the officials of Longyou Road are corrupt and pervert the law, ignore the suffering of the people, and use their power for personal gain. They use the power given to them by the court to oppress the people, so that the drought in Longyou Road has not been completely solved every year!"
"Longyou Road suffers from drought every year. The problem lies not with the sky, but with the local officials who are corrupt and bend the law."
"I sincerely request Your Highness to take action to clear Longyou Road and uphold justice for all people in the world!"
Xiao Yi did not expect that this old man would dare to be so upright. Such a person must be placed above the court.
Di Yan was also a little surprised. This old man was usually very poetic and rarely participated in court affairs. He also liked to teach his disciples and train some scholars. He didn't expect that this time he would beat him to it and say such words. .
Seeing that the people on Li Linfu's side were about to stand up, he immediately stepped out, raised his hands and said sincerely: "The words from the bottom of my heart are the words of Mr. Yan. I also want to report them to you. I urge your highness to take action to uphold Longyou Road and return it to Longyou Road." Give the people a peaceful place and give an explanation to all the people in the world!"
The officials on Li Linfu's side looked at each other in shock.
After Li Linfu thought for a moment, he understood what His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to do, and he immediately became alert. Today's morning court meeting might not be so simple.
Zhu Mian, Wang Fu and others looked at each other and then at Li Linfu, who was as steady as a mountain with his eyes closed in meditation, and chose to remain silent.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet revealed his purpose, so they cannot stand up immediately. After all, the people who reported the situation of Longyou Road are Yue Hongling, the daughter of the Yue family, and Cai Jin, the counselor and political advisor. It is impossible to continue to hide this matter.
They did not dare to impeach Yue Hongling for lying, deceiving the emperor, and speaking so badly of Long Youdao, who was only in some disaster.
Even Zhu Mian didn't want to offend Yue Shan.
This is no joke.
How could he, the censor Zhongcheng, offend the Shenyue Mountain of the Daqian Army?
If the other party really cares about him, even Li Linfu can't protect him. Yue Shan followed Xiao Di in the north and south and made great military exploits. He was not suspected by Xiao Di. Now he is living a good life. Even his daughter can be granted a special license. , a family of women can actually lead troops to fight.
It can be imagined how highly Yue Shan is respected. This is nothing. The key is that the other party's connections and tactics are very high.
To be called the God of the Great Army, to be able to suppress the four thieves in the North with one person's power, it is not just a simple matter of leading troops to fight, but the art of war and strategy are already a master's degree.
Those who are missed by such people usually die miserably.
If you cannot refute Yue Hongling's memorial, it is equivalent to accepting it.
Otherwise, Master Yan would not have been so excited and stood up directly to ask His Highness to take action. It seemed that he was on His Highness's side.
In fact, he was so excited because he believed in Yue Hongling's memorial and believed that Longyou Road was already a purgatory on earth.
Xiao Yi was very moved and said: "Yan Qing, please get up first."
After Yan Shigu stood up, Xiao Yi continued: "It is Gu's wish to clear Longyou Road, but it is not easy."
"If it hadn't been for General Yue's report, I might not have known that Longyou Road had become so serious, let alone that Longyou Road was not a serious disaster, but a place controlled by corrupt officials. No matter how much relief food or money was given, It doesn’t help, it all goes into their pockets.”
"Of course, they can be so arrogant and even more blatant. I'm afraid it must be someone in the court, right?"
"So, this second thing is what I have always wanted to do after careful consideration, in order to completely solve the problem of Longyou Road and to uphold the principles of the government."
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Corrupt officials are running rampant. If we want to solve the problem, we can only use thunderous means to cut through the mess with a sharp knife. Moreover, this knife must be sharp and must be in the hands of the emperor to prevent officials from protecting each other."
"So, I plan to establish a royal guard to monitor the world!"
As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Liu Hui immediately stood up and interrupted loudly: Your Highness, you must not! "
With his loud shout, everyone suppressed their breathing and lowered their heads, but focused all their attention on their ears.
here we go!
A direct conflict between the Duke and the Prince inevitably occurred.
For more than a month, it has been a small fight. They have seen with their own eyes that many of His Royal Highness's decrees were unable to leave the capital. They have also watched His Highness the Crown Prince kill several corrupt officials and killed a Wang Hao. They have also watched His Highness the Crown Prince. He sent Yue Hongling to Longyou Road to solve the banditry problem, and also sent the Qin family to provide work for relief. He also agreed to Beiyan to send troops to conquer the gold, and then took the opportunity to marry Beiyan.
This series of actions continued and had effects, and Mr. Li could not stop him.
Nowadays, the establishment of Jinyiwei can be regarded as a big sword that His Royal Highness really wants to have, a big sword that can cut off Gongxiang Li's neck!
The storm is officially blowing!
Since they are in the middle of the situation, they cannot stay away when the storm surge comes.
Whether to stand on the side of Gongxiang Li, on the side of the prison prince, or to continue to remain neutral, no one will be offended and no one will be supported.
When the final winner is decided, will they continue to sit firmly in their positions?
Xiao Yi stared at Liu Hui with an unkind expression and said lightly: "Why not? Could it be that the corrupt officials in Longyou Road also gave you benefits?"
Suddenly raising his voice, Xiao Yi scolded: "That's simply wanton!"
"In the Xuanzheng Hall, Gu represents the emperor of Daqian, who exercises the power of the emperor and the power to supervise the country. Nowadays, corrupt officials are rampant in Longyou Road and the people are in dire straits. Gu wants to uphold justice for the people of Daqian, and establishes Jin Yiwei to thoroughly investigate Longyou Road. Is it absolutely impossible to give Longyou peace?"
Xiao Yi's eyes were as bright as fire. He looked at Liu Hui who was bowing down and said coldly: "Tell me, have the corrupt officials in Longyou Road given you any benefits? So, after Gu Gang finished speaking, you stood up to oppose him, looking impatient. You look impatient, are you worried that the Jin Yiwei will be the first to find your head, causing the Nine Yi Clan?!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Hui's heart trembled and he broke into a cold sweat.
If this hat is turned off and Jin Yiwei is really planning to establish one, I am afraid he will really be the first to investigate him.
And can he stand up to investigation?
I can't stand it at all. I am able to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, partly because of my father-in-law, and partly because of bribery.
There is no benefit, who is willing to promote you to the position of minister?
There is no benefit, who is willing to let you sit in this position?
