Forced To Start The Game, Summon A Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders

"yes?"

The corner of Li Xiu's mouth curled up slightly, and then he looked at Cao Zhengchun who was not far away, "Cao Aiqing, tell me, did I say something wrong?"

Cao Zhengchun came out, and immediately bowed to Li Xiu, "Reporting to Your Majesty, after investigation by miscellaneous experts, Taishi Sima Yi actually owns more than forty mansions, which are spread across the capital and various prefectures of the imperial dynasty, and owns 300,000 mu of fertile land. In addition, in Sima Yi's private house, a mountain of gold jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings were found."

"It is conservatively estimated that Sima Taishi's family property is at least twenty-eight million taels."

Twenty-eight million taels!

Many officials gasped.

The annual income of their Tang Dynasty treasury is only 8 million taels!

Actually only a fraction of Sima Yi's private property?

Old thief Sima, you are too good at fishing!

Many courtiers unconsciously distanced themselves from Sima Yi, they were so greedy, they had to stay away, so as not to be regarded by His Majesty as Sima Yi's accomplice.

"Twenty-eight million taels!"

Li Xiu looked at Sima Yi with a sneer, "Grand Master Sima, you are hiding deep enough."

"With your salary alone, you shouldn't be able to accumulate such a huge fortune, right?"

"The old minister was wronged!"

Sima Yi's legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, "This...this is slander!"

"Your Majesty, although the old minister is not a gentleman, he is also a person of principle. Such a huge fortune is definitely not the old minister's!"

However, Cao Zhengchun looked at Sima Yi with a smile, and Yin & Yang said strangely: "Master Sima, the evidence is conclusive, and you cannot deny it."

"Moreover, the Miscellaneous Family not only has all your private property information, but also the Miscellaneous Family's other courtiers' information. Your Majesty and the Miscellaneous Family know who is clean and who is very rich."

Hearing this, all the officials in the court felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

So, His Majesty has already found out their property?

Didn't they commit the crime of deceiving the king?

"Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun's words cannot be trusted. Most of the evidence in his mouth is forged by him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the eunuchs have been so treacherous since ancient times, don't listen to the eunuch's slander!"

"Cao Zhengchun is framing a minister with ulterior motives. This old eunuch may want to usurp the throne!"

"..."

Suddenly, several courtiers jumped out and attacked Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun was even accused of conspiring to usurp the throne.

Even Xiao Linzi wanted to laugh when he heard these words.

No matter how powerful Cao Zhengchun is, he is also a eunuch. A eunuch usurped the throne? is it possible?

It's just nonsense!

"Boom!"

At this moment, Li Xiu slapped heavily on the armrest of the dragon chair, "The evidence is so strong, how dare you argue!"

"Come here, take Sima Yi down immediately, remove him from the post of grand teacher, confiscate his family property, and choose another day to ask for execution!"

Ask to cut? !

Sima Yi himself was taken aback.

At this time, the two guards of the East Factory rushed to the wound and dragged Sima Yi out of the Great Hall.

"Your Majesty! You can't kill me!"

Only then did Sima Yi come to his senses, and shouted: "The old minister's younger brother, Sima Chong, is the Jiedushi of Huainan! If you dare to kill me, Huainan will definitely change!"

Huainan Jiedushi is the head of one side of the feudal town, controlling the Huainan feudal town of the Tang Dynasty, with 200,000 heavy troops, dominating one side.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Sima Yi dares to amass money without any scruples. He is confident that even the emperor would not dare to touch him!

Unexpectedly, Li Xiu didn't like him at all, "You dare to threaten me, pull him out, and cut him off."

"Huainan Jiedu Envoy Sima Chong, right? Immediately draw up an order to remove Sima Chong from his position as Huainan Jiedu Envoy and let him go to Beijing to face the crime. Otherwise, he will be punished for disobedience and he will be chopped off immediately!"

Sima Yi looked pale and was pulled out.

He never expected that His Majesty would actually dare to kill him!

Seeing Sima Yi being pulled out of the Golden Luan Hall, all the officials in the court trembled.

Sima Yi is of course a big greedy person, but how many of them are clean?

What's more, now His Majesty has checked all the court officials, which is equivalent to seeing all their underwear. Now they have no privacy in front of His Majesty!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"The minister waited for a while to be infatuated with ghosts to make such a big mistake. It was not intentional to deceive His Majesty!"

With a "plop", all civil and military officials, big and small, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xiu in prayer.

"Forgive me? What face do you have to beg me for mercy?"

However, Li Xiu had no sympathy for the weeping officials, "As an important minister of the country, he amasses money beyond measure, and eats without food. He only knows selfishness and does not know how to serve the country. Are you worthy of the court and me?"

It is precisely because this group of people occupy the court of the Great Tang Dynasty that the Great Tang Dynasty gradually declines and declines!

Today, he will reverse this unhealthy trend!

The first step to revive the Tang Dynasty is to start with the purge of the court!

Don't break, don't stand!

"Among the hundred officials, those who have amassed more than one million taels of wealth will be executed!"

"Anyone who has amassed more than 100,000 taels of wealth will be dismissed!"

"Whoever accumulates more than 10,000 taels will be demoted!"

"Execute immediately!"

Li Xiu's voice, like thunder, resounded in the Great Hall of Jinluan, echoing endlessly.

All the civil and military officials in the dynasty looked shocked!

They never imagined that His Majesty's determination to purge the court is so great!

Not long after, a large group of imperial guards rushed in and dragged most of the officials in the court out!

Half of them were beheaded, and half were dismissed!

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Luan Hall seemed much empty.

"From now on, any officials who dare to collect money privately, once discovered, will be executed regardless of the amount!"

Li Xiu said in a deep voice.

All beheaded!

These two words, like a thunderbolt, slammed into the hearts of the remaining officials in the Great Hall, making them swallow their saliva.

They all knew in their hearts that the era when officials could be unscrupulous is over.

Next, it is time to be careful and abide by the law!

The officials looked at Li Xiu with more and more awe.

"His Majesty……"

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out and said cautiously: "After the rectification by Your Majesty, the remaining officials in the court are less than 30%, and there are many vacancies in each department. As a result, I am afraid that it will be difficult for each department to continue to operate."

"I have thought about this issue for a long time."

Li Xiudao: "The vacancies in various ministries will be filled by selected capable people from the various prefectures and prefectures of the imperial dynasty. At the same time, I will pass on my will to the world and open a department to recruit scholars. I want to recruit talents from all over the world!"

Get a doctor!

The eyes of all the ministers brightened.

Since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination has long been a mere formality, and even stopped holding it altogether. It has been abolished for ten years!

Now that Li Xiu is going to hold the imperial examination again, this is undoubtedly a big event!

It can inject fresh blood into the imperial court!

"Your Majesty is wise."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials sighed in his heart, he could not think of what he was worried about, and His Majesty had already thought of a countermeasure.

Not only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but also other courtiers at the moment, all looked at Li Xiu with admiration!

Although they are still under Li Xiu's bloody purge, they still have lingering fears, but it has to be said that Li Xiu has made a series of big moves in recent days, including suppressing rebellion, punishing corruption, suppressing the court, and opening the imperial examination!

These are all the actions of the hero Mingjun!

Could it be that His Majesty really has the appearance of a hero, able to change the dynasty's atmosphere and revive the Tang Dynasty?
