I've heard of the memorial.
It was a very important power in the hands of civil officials.
It was because of this power that the generals of the Great Xia Dynasty had no status at all and were suppressed by the civil officials.
How could a general win against a civil official when it came to talking?
The usual morning court session was attended by civil officials. It wasn't that the generals didn't want to participate, but they didn't have the qualifications.
It was even more serious than the Ming Dynasty suppressing martial arts with literature.
If it was in the past.
If the Emperor wanted to deprive the civil officials of this power, it would inevitably cause a strong counterattack from the civil officials.
But now…
After Zhao Zheng massacred the officials, even Li Yan, who had the most power in the court, was taken care of by Zhao Zheng…
It could be said that the current Zhao Zheng was absolutely fierce and mighty in the hearts of the officials!
Encountering such an overbearing and murderous emperor, the civil officials expressed, It's too difficult for us!
No one dared to speak!
Even the stubborn Yu Qian wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed and shook his head.
In fact, Yu Qian was not a fool.
The Emperor rescued him from the execution ground and arranged for him to be the Minister of Personnel Affairs. It was obvious that he wanted to use him to make things difficult for Li Yan.
Now that Li Yan had been killed by the Emperor…
To put it bluntly, his value was almost gone. Yu Qian himself could not say how long he could stay in the court.
In such a situation, how could he still have the right to refute Zhao Zheng's decision?
The matter was settled.
In the future, if anyone dared to accuse someone without evidence, Zhao Zheng would definitely teach them a lesson!
The case of Li Yan hiding the dragon robe seemed to have come to an end.
Those who had pleaded for Li Yan were naturally taken away by the East Chamber and imprisoned together with Li Yan.
At the same time, the East Chamber dispatched a large number of people to search for people related to Li Yan.
Zhao Zheng had sentenced Li Yan to the death penalty, so anyone related to Li Yan would naturally be sentenced to death!
For a time, the city was in a state of panic.
Li Yan, a powerful official, seemed to have fallen just like that…
However, many ministers knew that things were far from over.
As a powerful official, how could Li Yan fall so easily?
Rain was coming…
……
An hour later.
Zhao Zheng had already returned to the palace and was sitting in the royal study.
He had already set up everything. Next, he would wait for those demons and monsters to take the initiative to jump out and then capture them all in one fell swoop!
With the 10,000 Great Qin Tiger soldiers controlling the capital, Zhao Zheng did not panic at all.
Whoever came would die!
Emperor Zhao Zheng was calm, but Gu Dayou was not.
East Hall.
Gu Dayou was furious.
"We can't even find anyone. They're all good-for-nothings!!”
Gu Dayou looked at the few trembling commanders in front of him and said in a cold tone,"The Emperor has entrusted such an important matter to me. If I mess it up and ruin the Emperor's great plan, I will chop all of you up and feed you to the dogs. Then, I will kill myself to thank the Emperor for his kindness!”
"Eunuch, please calm down. Give us some more time. We will definitely find Li Ling!" One of the commanders said carefully.”
Li Ling, Li Yan's eldest son.
Ever since Li Yan was executed, there had been no sign of him.
This was also the reason why our Eunuch Gu was angry.
Hearing the commander's words, Gu Dayou glared at the commander and said,""Alright, I'll give you the time for an incense stick to burn. If you still can't find her, bring her head to me.”
"Don't worry, Eunuch. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will find Li Ling."”
Gu Dayou waved his hand.
"Get lost!"
A few bosses and commanders quickly retreated.
……
Li Ling, who Gu Dayou was talking about, was currently in the house of a general.
"General Miao, the situation is urgent. Only you can save my father now!”
The General Miao Li Ling spoke of was a burly man in his forties. He was also the garrison general of the capital camp and had the authority to mobilize the capital camp's soldiers.
Hearing Li Ling's words, General Miao hurriedly said,""Young Master Li's words are too serious. I'm just a humble official, I'm afraid I won't be able to change the Emperor's mind…"
Li Yan's downfall was a major event. In less than an hour, the entire city knew about it. Naturally, General Miao knew what was going on.
"General Miao, this junior is not asking you to submit a memorial to persuade him. The fatuous ruler has done something against the will of the heavens. Right now, we need a righteous person like General Miao to stand up and uphold justice!”
These words made General Miao's eyelids widen. He said in surprise,""Young Master Li, what do you mean? Could it be that I want to rebel?"
"Of course not!" "I heard that the imperial court often embezzles military pay, causing many soldiers who serve the country to not even have food to eat," Li Ling said with a smile.”
Hearing this, General Miao ridiculed in his heart. Isn't it because there are too many corrupt officials like your father who tampered with the military pay? Otherwise, even if the military pay was not much, it would at least be enough to make ends meet.
"The Imperial Court's actions must have disappointed the soldiers, right?" Li Ling added. General Miao, it's time to take back what the imperial court owes you!”
When General Miao heard this, he understood what Li Ling meant.
"Young Master Li, do you want me to lead my troops to cause trouble?”
"That's right!" Li Ling nodded and said righteously,""The Imperial Court owes a lot. We can't let the soldiers shed blood and tears!”
General Miao rolled his eyes at Li Ling's words.
Don't you know whose pocket the silver fell into?
The so-called salary dispute referred to a chaotic phenomenon in the army. Due to various reasons, the army was in arrears with the payment of wages, and these people had to live, so there were incidents of salary disputes.
However, those who caused trouble generally did not have a good ending.
Even if the imperial court did not punish the masses and did not dare to kill the soldiers, it would not be a problem to get rid of a leading general.
General Miao didn't want to use his own life to benefit others.
Thinking of this, General Miao deliberated his tone and said,"Young Master Li, making a fuss is no small matter. If you are not careful, it will easily lead to a military disaster.”
As expected of a general, his words were direct.
However, such direct words made Li Ling feel a little embarrassed.
Li Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness as he said coldly,"General Miao, do you still remember how my father helped you?”
Was he threatening En Tubao?
General Miao chuckled.
To be able to get to his current position, being thick-skinned was a compulsory course. A child's play like blackmailing someone to repay a debt of gratitude was completely ineffective against him.
However, Li Ling's next words made General Miao unable to laugh.
"General Miao, I remember that five years ago, you were just a small guerrilla general. Because you put down a rebellion, you were recommended by my father and won the praise of the former emperor, becoming the garrison general of the capital camp! And in that rebellion, you shouldn't have forgotten whether General Miao killed civilians or bandits, right?”
"If you have forgotten, do you remember my father and I very clearly?!”
