After a series of knocks, Di Xin watched Yu Huatian leave the Scroll Pavilion.
In this world where saints could calculate the secrets of heaven and mighty people could predict good or bad luck, was there a need to establish an intelligence organization?
The answer was, of course, that it was necessary!
Whether it was a saint or a mighty figure, they could only roughly know the beginning and end of a matter by deducing the heavenly secrets. It was impossible for them to know all the details. This was one of them.
Moreover, the Apotheosis Cultivation Tribulation was about to begin. Even a Saint would be deceived by the aura of the Cultivation Tribulation. At this time, the effectiveness of an intelligence organization was completely highlighted.
Therefore, whether it was for now or in the future, it was necessary to establish an intelligence organization.
Yu Huatian's appearance provided Di Xin with such an opportunity.
Soon, in Zhaoge City, a yamen named the West Military Bureau officially opened.
The West Hall opened silently. Many people did not even realize the existence of this yamen.
Even if some people knew, they didn't care because of Great Shang's official reform.
Little did they know that compared to the reform of the Shang officials, the West Hall was a giant beast hidden under the sea.
The moment it bared its fangs, it could turn the world upside down in an instant.
On the morning of the second day, under the respectful gazes of all the officials, Emperor Xin slowly walked up to the throne.
As Di Xin took his seat, the imperial court was filled with shouts.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Everyone, please excuse me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials stood up. At this moment, the official standing beside Di Xin stepped forward and said,"If there's anything, report it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old minister, Zhang Yuan, stepped forward and knelt on the ground. He cried,"Your Majesty, please seek justice for me!"
"My son is the governor of Julu City. He has always been conscientious and dedicated to Great Shang.”
"However, after the Minister of Personnel took office, he arrested the child without distinguishing right from wrong and slandered him for corruption.”
"This old minister's family has been loyal for generations and has a good family tradition. How could this child do such a thing?”
After saying that, Zhang Yuan lowered his head.
The eyes of all the officials in the court flashed.
Ever since Da Shang implemented the reform system, it had violated the interests of countless people.
Now, some people finally couldn't help but jump out to test Di Xin's attitude.
Zhang Yuan was obviously a pawn pushed out by the interest group behind him.
For a moment, all the officials in the court were silent as they watched the situation unfold.
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the Minister of Personnel Affairs immediately stood up and defended himself.
"Your Majesty is wise. Everything I did was done according to the laws of Great Shang. Your Majesty, you can re-investigate this case. If there is any mistake, I am willing to suffer the punishment of being torn apart by a car!”
The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs stood in the court, and the expressions of many people in the court instantly changed.
Especially Zhang Yuan, who had just filed a complaint. He did not expect the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs to make such an oath.
He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to explain.
However, at this moment, Di Xin, who was sitting on the throne, waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Do you have evidence?"
Hearing this, the Minister of Personnel Affairs immediately nodded and said,"Yes."
"Then let's talk with evidence."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs immediately called for someone to go and collect evidence.
For a moment, the imperial court fell silent, and the sound of silver needles falling to the ground could be heard.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat that kept dripping down.
At the same time, his eyes were filled with anxiety as he looked at a senior physician, as if he wanted to say something, but the senior physician ignored him.
For a moment, Zhang Yuan's face turned extremely pale.
At this moment, the guard who was collecting evidence returned.
The doctor who had lowered his head in silence suddenly revealed an imperceptible smile.
His name was Tian Feng, and he was one of the people whose interests were affected by the reform.
And Zhang Yuan was his pawn.
What Zhang Yuan's son did was true.
However, he had already bribed an official in the Ministry of Personnel before the court session today.
He didn't have much authority, but he was responsible for preserving evidence.
Therefore, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs had already secretly swapped the evidence.
He wanted to see what the king would do after seeing this evidence, and whether the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs could continue to be so unyielding.
Just as Tian Feng's mind was filled with thoughts, the internal officials had already placed the evidence in front of Di Xin.
Opening the bamboo slip for Di Xin, the eunuch glanced at it and was shocked.
It was completely blank!
Immediately, the hands of the internal official that were flipping through the bamboo slips couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, compared to the shock of the internal officials, Di Xin's expression was calm.
He looked at the blank bamboo slip without any expression on his face.
Soon, the inner official retreated to Di Xin's side and looked at the Minister of Personnel with pity.
Tian Feng, who was secretly observing everything, clearly caught the fluctuations in the inner official's eyes. He was immediately delighted.”
But in the next second, Di Xin's words stunned the officials and Tian Feng.
"The evidence is conclusive. Zhang Yuan's son is guilty of corruption and bribery.”
"As his father, Zhang Yuan raised him without teaching him and falsely accused a minister of the imperial court. He was punished for both crimes and stripped of his official rank. He was exiled to the border and three thousand miles away!”
"His family wealth was confiscated and his family was demoted to commoners. Within three generations, they were not allowed to enter the court as officials.”
Emperor Xin's calm and dignified voice rang out. Zhang Yuan's mind went blank as if a heavy hammer had hit his head. He fell to the ground as if he was sitting on his butt.
Tian Feng's eyes were filled with disbelief. He could not help but mutter to himself,"How is that possible?”
Thinking of this, Tian Feng took a step forward and shouted,"Your Majesty, I request that the evidence be made public!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the court that had just been in an uproar fell silent once again. All the civil and military officials in the court focused their gazes on Tian Feng.
Tian Feng regretted his words the moment he said it. Since Di Xin had already given the order, asking for the evidence to be revealed now was equivalent to questioning Di Xin.
Challenging Di Xin's dignity.
For a moment, Tian Feng's face turned pale, and he wanted to slap himself.
Di Xin's voice rang out," The item is here. Come and see it if you want."”
As he spoke, Di Xin looked at Tian Feng quietly. His eyes were filled with coldness, causing people to feel a chill down their spine.
Tian Feng even knelt down on the spot under Di Xin's authority and kowtowed continuously, not daring to mention the matter of exposing the evidence.
Seeing this, Di Xin retracted his gaze and said with an unchanged expression,"Tian Feng, you have lost your manners in the court and are dismissed from all your official positions. You are to recuperate at home and are not allowed to take a step out of the house without my orders.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers shouted," Your Majesty is wise!”
Only Tian Feng and Zhang Yuan had ashen faces.
The tickets!
