Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The drums sounded.
All the officials were waiting outside the Meridian Gate.
Wu!
Wu!
Wu!
The bugle sounded, and the palace gates opened. The civil and military officials entered the court in an orderly manner.
The civil and military officials entered the palace!
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
Three clean whips sounded, and the little Emperor ascended the court.
All the civil and military officials in the court bowed and said,"We greet Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"”
After Liu Che sat on the throne, he raised his hand and said,"
"Everyone, rise!"
"If you have a book, report it to me as soon as possible!" the eunuch shouted. Retreat without a foundation!"
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the Prime Minister Wei Wan strode out of the court and raised his hand,"
"Your Majesty, I, Wei Wan, have a report!”
"Allow!"
When Wei Wan heard this, he slowly turned around and looked at the court officials. He shouted,
"Your Majesty, I want to sue the court for protecting each other!”
"I want to sue the court! The sycophants formed a clique! I want to sue the aristocrats of the world for taking bribes and bending the law, hiding their land!!”
Wei Wan's voice was like a golden bell, striking the entire court with a dumbfounded expression!
Liu Che's expression became extremely fierce.
"Wei Wan, as the Prime Minister, you can't speak nonsense! What evidence do you have? Hand it over!"
After Liu Che finished speaking, Wei Wan raised the memorial in her hand above her head.
"Your Majesty, if I say anything, please behead me!”
All the officials were stunned.
They had never expected that the Prime Minister would set off a storm that swept across the entire world just as the court had begun!
"Hand over Wei Wan's memorial!”
"Yes!"
The eunuch took Wei Wan's memorial and handed it to the Emperor.
After Liu Che opened Wei Wan's memorial, he read it word by word.
Liu Che looked faster and faster!
The Emperor's expression became uglier and uglier, and gloomier and gloomier.
All the civil and military officials stole a glance at the Emperor and discovered that the little Emperor was filled with killing intent!
This killing intent was even more majestic than when he killed Xu Chang!
Liu Che looked at the memorial and became more and more furious!
When Liu Che finished reading the last word!
Pa!
Liu Che slammed the memorial onto the Dragon's desk, causing it to tremble violently!
"This is my good subject!"
"This is my good subject!"
Liu Che suddenly stood up and boasted. Liu Che walked to the huge screen behind him in two or three steps!
Clang!
Liu Che pulled out the Emperor's Sword. In that instant, the cold light from the sword's edge enveloped the entire imperial court!
For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground and advised loudly,
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
This time, all the officials were truly afraid!
That fear came from the depths of his heart.
They knelt on the ground, large beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Even in the middle of winter, their backs were still soaked in sweat!
"Read!"
Under Liu Che's command, the eunuch picked up the memorial and recited it word by word.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated the officials in the world. Four to five out of ten of them fawned on me, and sixteen to seven out of ten bribed me.”
"Outside of the court, I have investigated for a long time. The people can no longer bear the burden of annexing land.”
"There are thousands of fertile fields in the prefectures and counties. The rich and powerful landowners occupy 50%, the local officials occupy 40%, and the commoners only have 10%, but they pay heavy taxes.”
The eunuch read out the memorial, and the civil and military officials in the court sweated profusely.
Wei Wan's report was true.
At this moment, Wei Wan had the determination to sacrifice everything for the Great Han Empire!
In order to return justice to the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Wei Wan did not hesitate to fight against all the officials in the world!
Wei Wan wasn't alone. Beside him were Han Anguo, Dou Ying, and Zhao Wan!
In order to restore peace to the Han Dynasty, Wei Wan did not hesitate to break his head and break his bones!
In the court, Liu Che held the Emperor's Sword and glared at all the officials.
"You are my ministers. I gave you high positions and generous salaries, and this is how you report to me?”
"You were born and raised in the Great Han Dynasty, and the Great Han Dynasty raised you.”
Liu Che's anger exploded in the court.
All the officials in the court knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound to anger the Emperor.
Liu Che held the Emperor Sword and paced in the hall!
The civil and military officials around him felt a cold light on their backs. The sharp sword in the Emperor's hand seemed to be about to slash down at any moment.
"Wei Wan!"
"Your subject is here!"
"Zhen asks you, do you dare to be enemies with the corrupt officials and sycophants of the world!”
"This subject will die!"
"Good! I will give you an imperial edict to investigate the officials in the world."
"Be it the three high officials or the nine ministers, investigate them thoroughly! I won't tolerate it!"
The Prime Minister Wei Wan cupped his hands and said,"I obey!"”
Liu Che had to clean up the shortcomings of the royal court. Now, the Han Dynasty had reached the point of decay.
Liu Che had to use the imperial power to get rid of those incompetent officials who only knew how to form cliques for personal gain!
Investigate all officials in the world.
The first step in dealing with the imperial court!
If they did not thoroughly investigate the officials in the world, then it would be difficult to carry out the move of checking the fertile land in the world!

Therefore, the first step to governing the world was to govern the officials!
