Chapter 234 Hitting the Target



Xiao Yuqi waved his hands irritably.

"Please leave me alone!"

I dare not say much about my happiness.

Four o'clock.

The court officials entered the Council Hall one after another.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Yuqi sitting high on the dragon throne.

The conversation stopped abruptly.

They entered the hall respectfully and greeted Xiao Yuqi one after another.

Xiao Yuqi looked unhappy.

There were more and more people in the hall, but the atmosphere was becoming quieter and quieter.

...

...

They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that His Majesty's return this time was different from before.

The former Majesty had an unpredictable personality and was difficult to understand.

But, in the past, as long as they didn't go too far, they could just turn a blind eye and get by.

After yesterday.

They have a deep-seated fear of Xiao Yuqi.

Could it be that the beauty did not serve His Majesty well last night, and His Majesty was reluctant to get angry with the beauty, so he took out all his anger on them?

Xiao Yuqi was so intimidating without even getting angry that they stood on the stage, not daring to even breathe.

Until the court meeting officially begins.

The atmosphere was strangely silent.

No one dared to speak.

Instead it was Xiao Yuqi.

After looking around the audience, he asked, "Do you have anything to report?"

Still no one spoke.

Xiao Yuqi's voice was deep and majestic.

"Since everyone is free, how about I tell you what I discovered?"

There was a chill in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed directly on Marquis Anle.

"You embezzled disaster relief funds, bullied the people, kidnapped good families, occupied good farmland, failed to discipline your subordinates, and allowed your subordinates to rob women. You were lawless. Marquis Anle, have I wronged you in any of the above?"

Marquis Anle, who was named, never imagined that the first person to be operated on after His Majesty returned to the palace would be him.

He knelt down immediately.

Shouting that it was injustice.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

He thought he had done things perfectly.

One million taels of disaster relief silver were distributed layer by layer, and everyone who handled it was a beneficiary.

Who would be that stupid?

Make this matter public?

As for those untouchables...

With him in Jian'an City, no one can bring this matter to your Majesty.

He is extremely confident.

Next second.

Duofu brought a thick stack of petitions on a jujube wood tray.

Each petition is signed and sealed.

One by one, one thing after another.

Expose the evil deeds of Marquis Anle to the world.

The tray was placed beside Anle Hou.

He lowered his head, and countless cracks appeared on his smug face.

Marquis Anle obviously didn't believe it.

He suddenly looked up, picked up the papers one by one, and read them quickly.

Soon, the pile of petitions surrounded him like flying catkins.

The complaint was picked up.

One after another.

It was constantly picked up, viewed, and circulated.

Marquis Anle's face turned pale.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

He set his eyes on the last piece of paper that had been folded countless times.

Spread it out.

On it was a letter to all nations.

There are so many names and fingerprints.

The above describes in detail the people who built the dam. They were starving and had to work hard. The supervisors would beat or scold them if they were not satisfied with them.

Tianyu Law clearly stipulates.

Good citizens cannot be bought, sold or punished at will. Anyone who participates in collective labor must follow the regulations, work harder and get more pay, and must not be treated harshly.

And those people, for their own selfish desires, allowed the supervisors to exploit the good people.

During the construction of the dam, thousands of people died due to harsh treatment.

The natural disaster did not cause any casualties.

The people’s strongest enemy is actually man-made disaster!

The bloody fingerprints were densely packed on the white paper.

It looks shocking.

Marquis Anle's hands were shaking.

Just yesterday.

He still dreams of his daughter becoming queen.

But only one night had passed.

He became the target of public criticism.

Life is in danger.

No.

He couldn't just give up like this.

There must be room for salvation.

Marquis Anle’s face was as white as paper.

When the last petition was completely spread out in front of everyone.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

When some people are happy, others are sad.

This list is not clean.

There are many people involved.

Soon, one third of the courtiers knelt down.

Those people are the beneficiaries of corruption cases.

The number is staggering.

Xiao Yuqi smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.

On the blue-grey stone bricks.

The brown tea splashed all over the floor.

The bronze tea set hit the ground with a crisp sound.

It was like a wake-up call, striking everyone's heart hard.

"These are the officials who are the parents of the people, the good men of Tianyu. One by one, they disregard the safety of the people for their own selfish desires, damage the reputation of our dynasty, and lose the hearts of the people. You...you!"

Xiao Yuqi waved his hands, furious.

"Come here, arrest all the people on the list and throw them into the prison."

The Yulin Guards, led by Duan Chengzhi, quickly entered the hall.

For a time, cries for help and voices protesting injustice were heard everywhere.

Xiao Yuqi is completely merciless.

His move caught everyone off guard.

The scene went from noisy to quiet.

But only a moment.

Xiao Yuqi struck while the iron was hot and issued another order.

"I have always understood that when water is too clear, there are no fish; when water is muddy, there are many fish and more dirty things. In order to clean up the court and correct the national principles, I will formally establish the Supervisory Office from today. All officials can exercise their supervisory responsibilities, encourage and help each other, and jointly shoulder the responsibility of bringing peace and prosperity to Tianyu."

"The Supervisory Council?" asked Grand Tutor Xie. "I have never heard Your Majesty mention this before. If we establish a Supervisory Council to let all officials supervise each other, then who should be in charge of the Supervisory Council? Who should be in charge?"

His question touched the heart of everyone.

Xiao Yuqi said: "I'm sure you have heard that I have implemented a brand new system in the northern border, called the imperial examination system."

Someone nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing. Using test questions to screen out people with real talents and knowledge to serve as officials can indeed help select talents better."

"Perhaps many people think that my move is just to suppress the noble families and promote commoners, but it is not true!"

Xiao Yuqi patiently persuaded them, and the tea stains on the ground were quickly cleaned up by the palace maids.

Spotless.

Xiao Yuqi looked at the people who stayed behind.

He continued, "The imperial examination is not only open to the poor, but also to the children of noble families!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me in detail."

"Since ancient times, the order of seniority and inferiority between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the order of seniority and juniority, have been unchanging rules. But are legitimate and eldest children truly talented and learned? If the sons of the nobles, whether legitimate or illegitimate, can use their talents and knowledge to pass the imperial examinations and officially enter the government, would you feel honored?"

this……

They never thought about it.

If only the whole family could be honored!

Tsk tsk tsk.

That is indeed something to boast about.

"I have a plan, please listen to it!"
