"Ding! The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites scolded the host for being a tyrant. Obtained 2351 points."
"Ding! Official of the Ministry of Justice has cursed the host for being a tyrant. Obtained 3214 points."
"Ding! The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue cursed the host for being a tyrant. Obtained 1252 points."
……
Xu Feng had just returned from the Ministry of Works to Northern Lord's mansion when the system notifications rang out crazily. The voices were all from the officials in the imperial court.
Xu Feng knew very well that the reason why these people were scolding him like this was because Tang Kai, the Minister of Justice, had found evidence of corruption and bribery. He had started to confiscate his family property.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Tang Kai's work efficiency was very fast.
The entire capital was shaken again.
"Have you heard? Northern Warden ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate the corruption of officials above the ninth rank in the capital. Anyone who was corrupt and took bribes would have their property confiscated.”
"It is said that there is a great drought in the south. The people are suffering and corpses are everywhere. In the imperial court, Northern Monarch asked his elder brother for a solution, but everyone pretended to be polite. In the end, Northern Monarch used a drastic measure.”
"However, Northern Fortress Lord is really amazing. He dared to confiscate and exterminate so many officials. I'm afraid that one-third of the officials in the entire capital will be beheaded.”
"Anyway, I really admire Northern Fortress Lord now. He's my idol. Only a tyrant like him could have such a violent method.”
……
In the capital, Tang Kai led the people from the Ministry of Justice and all the Imperial Guards to arrest people in the capital.
News of what had happened in the Imperial Court naturally spread.
The people were naturally excited when they knew that Northern Zhenjun wanted to kill the corrupt officials.
……
Little Yao's heart was burning with anxiety, and her expression became very ugly.
He came to the Heart-nourishing Pagoda again.
He realized that Lin Xiaoxiang hadn't touched the bamboo slips he had placed in the Heart-nourishing Pagoda at all.
He was obsessed with martial arts cultivation.
He thought to himself, Your Majesty…if you continue to cultivate in seclusion, I'm afraid that by the time you come out, the entire Great Tang will truly be in chaos!”
Xiao Yao received news that Xu Feng was going to exterminate all the corrupt officials in the capital. All the money obtained from the raids was used to relieve the drought in the south.
If so many officials of the Imperial Court were to die at once, it would be a huge problem for the functioning of the entire Great Tang. She wanted Lin Xiaoxiang to take charge of the situation.
Unfortunately, Little Yao was disappointed again.
Lin Xiaoxiang must have reached a critical juncture in her cultivation. She did not have the energy or time to check the book that Little Yao had handed over.
……
Tang Kai was very efficient. In just three days, he had captured more than 200 officials in the capital.
Xu Feng sat in the court.
The aura on his body seemed unfathomable.
By ordering Tang Kai to exterminate all these corrupt officials, he had obtained about 500,000 Tyrant points, but he used them all for cultivation.
His cultivation had also risen to the Peak of the Fifth Stage Grandmaster Realm. As long as he had enough Tyrant points, he would be able to successfully step into the Sixth Stage Grandmaster Realm.
Of course, almost every day, Xu Feng would use 100,000 points to participate in a ten-consecutive high-level lottery draw. He also obtained many good treasures.
"Reporting to Lord Zhenbei, a total of 32,800,000 taels of silver was confiscated, and nearly 1,000 treasures were seized. Nearly 300 officials were arrested.”
Tang Kai stood in the middle of the court and reported to Xu Feng.
At this moment, almost a third of the people in the Imperial Court were gone.
"Yes! Presumably, with so much silver, the drought in the south could be completely overcome.”
Xu Feng nodded. As expected, corrupt officials were the most terrifying vampires in any dynasty.
In troubled times, heavy punishment should be used!
Yang Hong and Lin Yirong also had complicated feelings.
From the perspective of the country, Xu Feng had killed all the corrupt officials. It was as if he had removed the most easily corrupted nail in the imperial court.
However, from their point of view, they would probably never be able to have the same prestige as before in the imperial court in the future.
"If I remember correctly, next month is the Imperial Examination held once every three years, right?”
Xu Feng asked Lin Yirong.
"Yes! The various regions had already begun to prepare for the early stages of the work to screen out outstanding talents.”
Yang Hong was in charge of the imperial examinations every year.
"The six ministries and the various yamens in the capital are lacking in manpower. Everyone must persevere. When the imperial examinations select outstanding talents, they can immediately take up their posts.”
Xu Feng also knew that he had killed so many corrupt officials in an instant. It would indeed affect the normal functioning of the court, but if the corrupt officials in the court were eliminated quickly, it would be beneficial to the entire Great Tang Empire, and it would develop better and better.
……
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In this half a month, the drought in the south had been alleviated with the investment of silver.
The four great clans of the capital had also restrained themselves.
Xu Feng was also happy to be idle. Unfortunately, Tyrant's points were all used up. His cultivation was stuck at Peak Rank-5 Grandmaster, unable to improve.
"Sigh…It seems that doing too well won't work. The bad guys have all been killed in one go, and the Tyrant points are coming too slowly.”Xu Feng could not help but sigh.
"It's about time. It's time to go to the Ministry of Works to see the results!”
Beside Xu Feng, the three cabinet ministers followed him and headed to the Ministry of Works.
The three of them were very curious. Why did Xu Feng invite them to the Ministry of Works?
"Lord Yin, how are the potatoes I planted half a month ago?”
Hearing Xu Feng's question, Yin Libo's expression turned awkward.""Lord Zhenbei, please forgive me. I went to the south a few days ago and just returned two days ago. I haven't had the chance to see it yet!”
" Reporting to Lord Zhenbei and Lord Yi, the seeds are growing very well. They've already blossomed and bloomed. It's just that…it's just that the yield isn't too good…"
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Luo Rong, walked forward. He was the person Yin Libo had sent to take care of the situation. He had a strange expression on his face as he reported to Xu Feng and Yin Libo.
