Yang Wenyuan's expression suddenly changed, is this prince finished?
But thinking about it carefully, there is nothing he can hold on to.
That's right.
Liu Qi did not target him this time, but the following content still made his expression twitch.
"Father, the previous incident involving the Duan family was investigated by Erchen, and it turned out that there were officials involved."
"This in my hands is the list of those involved and the evidence of the crime!"
Originally, Liu Qi didn't plan to take it out now.
Many of the officials involved were important local ministers.
After this incident, they will definitely fall.
The imperial court is now in the midst of recruiting people. If this reduces the vacancies for so many officials, my father will inevitably have a headache and it will be very troublesome to deal with them.
What I want to do is wait until I truly have real power, and then punish these officials one by one.
But now, Liu Qi couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't want to wait any longer.
Yang Wenyuan and other old men are so shameless. If I don't give them some color, they will really think that this king is a soft persimmon.
In addition, the most important thing is that all of this was forced by the Duan family, or to be precise, it was all caused by the Duan family!
After being in jail for several days, Qin Wei was tortured and still cannot get out of bed.
Since you, Duan Shen, have the guts to do this, I will let you know that there are some people in this world that you cannot offend in your life, even if they lose power for a moment!
At this time, the ministers in the DPRK were shocked.
Wasn't the investigation completed at the beginning? There are already more than thirty officials involved, but there are still more?
Laifu stepped forward, took the charges from the prince, ran back all the way, and handed the charges into Emperor Qing's hands.
After laying out his accusations, Emperor Qing's face gradually turned gloomy, and a depressing atmosphere filled the hall.
But what the ministers didn't expect was.
In the end, Emperor Qing actually looked very calm and threw the accusation on the table.
Through the memories of his predecessor, Liu Qi knew that this was not because his father didn't care, but because he was extremely angry.
"Haha, now I understand why the imperial court has allocated funds every year but has not been able to effectively solve the problems in these places. It turns out that they are all feeding these moths."
"Blessing."
"My slave is here."
"Show this accusation to Mr. Yang and take a good look at it!"
Yang Wenyuan looked at the crime with a very ugly expression.
There were over a hundred officials involved.
Although he had already been mentally prepared, he never expected that Liu Qi could investigate so thoroughly.
If this is all dealt with. Although it will not involve him, the forces below him will inevitably be greatly reduced.
The question now is whether to protect them or not.
You must offend the emperor, maybe it will also affect you.
But if you are not guaranteed, how will the people below view you in the future? How many people will do their best for you?
"Your Majesty, according to what I have seen, although the charges are clearly written, it happened in a local area after all, and the authenticity of the evidence is difficult to distinguish."
"No matter whether it is human testimony or physical evidence, it is impossible to completely determine the crimes committed by these officials."
"Therefore, the old minister suggested that we might as well send a special envoy to go there. After careful investigation and inquiry, His Majesty will decide what to do."
After saying this, some officials behind Yang Wenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Liu Qi cursed secretly in his heart.
What a sanctimonious old bastard, he said it well and clearly.
If the special envoy goes to the place by then, the officials will have wiped their butts clean long ago. Will they leave evidence of guilt to the court?
"Father, I think what Mr. Yang said is reasonable."
What tricks is this kid going to do again?
Yang Wenyuan's heart tightened and he had a bad feeling.
"However, I have a better proposal!"
Many officials suddenly became nervous and looked at Emperor Qing who was on the higher level.
"Any suggestions?"
Liu Qi smiled slightly.
"Father, since the crimes committed by these people have been confessed in detail in the charges, if a special envoy is sent at this time, it will inevitably alert the enemy."
"So, what I have seen is that it is better to transfer these people directly to Kyoto and then send a special envoy to conduct a detailed investigation."
Yang Wenyuan almost spit out blood from his chest.
This is not a better proposal, it is clearly a waste of money.
When those officials enter the capital and the special envoys arrive, how can they not find evidence of crime among those small minions without a backbone?
"Your Majesty! I think the prince's suggestion is inappropriate."
"There are a lot of things going on in many places, including areas where disaster relief and refugee relief are being provided."
"If all these officials are transferred to Qingdu, it will inevitably cause chaos in local government affairs. It will take at least a month or two, or even more, for the special envoy to investigate, going back and forth. If nothing is found, the local government will If a bigger problem occurs, wouldn’t it cause more trouble for the imperial court?”
After saying this, Yang Wenyuan coughed heavily several times, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.
As if they had heard the order, a group of officials stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Yang said is reasonable. Now our country is facing external and internal troubles, and we will send troops to the Huns in the near future. If there are more troubles, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think it is not too late to conduct a strict investigation on this matter after the prince defeats the Huns."
...
Wow, it can be seen that all the ministers are on Yang Wenyuan's side.
Not only the ministers, but also Liu Yin also spoke to the emperor at this time.
"Father, my son and I also think that the prince's suggestion is inappropriate, and it is Mr. Yang and Mr. Qi's suggestions that are more reasonable."
It was obvious that Emperor Qing was hesitant.
Liu Qi knew that his father definitely wanted to investigate and deal with all these officials.
But now being constrained by these ministers of the DPRK and China, it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Isn’t it possible to ignore the opinions of others and act arbitrarily?
The emperor has this right, but it is not suitable to exercise such right at all times.
Just like now.
Emperor Qing only needed to give an order and he would immediately dismiss all officials.
The question is, what to do next.
Who will solve local problems? If a few of them are found to be innocent, how can they explain it to these ministers?
The matter was not dealt with, but instead caused a lot of trouble.
At that time, the ministers can say, Your Majesty, the old minister has already said it, but you don’t listen. Look, something is wrong?
Then, in the next matter, when the emperor wants to exercise this right again, the ministers will say, have you forgotten the trouble that your arbitrary actions have brought to the country?
It's not a pleasant feeling to have ministers holding pigtails.
The most important thing is that if you do this kind of thing, you must do it well. If the crotch is stretched, it will ultimately be an invisible weakening of the imperial power.
Is there no other way?
Of course, at this time, there is a great need for different voices to appear.
Does Liu Qi count? No, it is just the proposer of another set of plans.
Now when everyone is supporting another plan, someone must stand on Liu Qi's side.
But in this situation, will anyone support Liu Qi?
The ministers thought so.
But they didn't know that Liu Qi had already had an idea in his mind.
The sound is not loud, but it can still be heard clearly by the people in the court.
People who didn't know why he thought there was something wrong with him suddenly made some irrelevant remarks.
"Oh, yes, there are indeed internal and external troubles. Apart from Wang Zhen and the others, no one from the foreign clan has contacted them? There is a Ma Benliu in the Duan family. If other ministers are like this, they will probably find out a lot of things."
