Li Wenbo had wanted to let the little Emperor know today that it was not easy to seize power. Only by relying on his Li Clan could he control the civil and military officials.
He did not expect the Emperor to act so quickly and with such brilliant methods.
Without any warning, he was already at a disadvantage.
Drew had been arrested and the account book had been found, and he was venting his anger on him.
All kinds of circumstances indicated that the Emperor might already know his background.
Thinking of this, Li Wenbo felt his heart skip a beat, and a chill ran up his spine.
Shangguan Lin looked around at the ministers and asked,""How do you think I should deal with a corrupt official who has taken bribes and bent the law to fill his own pockets?”
"Your Majesty."
Left Prime Minister Tong Zhili raised his head and reported," He took bribes and perverted the law. According to the law, he should be sentenced to death.”
"Feng Shaojie knowingly broke the law. His crime is increased by one degree. He ignored the emperor's grace and embezzled a huge amount of property.”
"Minister Tong's words are reasonable, this old minister also thinks so.”
Right Prime Minister Wang Hongxuan raised his voice and said," Feng Shaojie has committed a heinous crime. Your Majesty, please kill his entire family. Only then can we deter the corrupt officials and let the future generations take this as a warning!"”
"Moreover, there must be accomplices in the matter of Feng Shaojie's corruption and bribery. Your Majesty, please investigate it thoroughly.”
"The two prime ministers are right.”
"I also agree. Your Majesty, please accept it.”
“......”
The Prime Minister's party watched from the sidelines while dealing with the eunuchs 'party and kept silent.
Now that they were dealing with the Li Consortium, they had finally made their move. Moreover, they had shown no mercy and used the cruelest methods.
Moreover, every word and action was in accordance with the law, so that no one could criticize them.
Li Wenbo, who had his face pressed against the ground, had a livid expression on his face. He was so gloomy that water could drip out.
He had long guessed that the Prime Minister's party would fall into the lower rock, and now it had come true.
What did he mean by saying that Drew had accomplices and that he had to be investigated thoroughly? She kept staring at him as she spoke.
They were practically pointing at Li Wenbo and saying that he was one of Drew's accomplices and that they were asking His Majesty to arrest him and put him in jail.
"Alright, since all the ministers have said so, Zhen naturally trusts all the ministers.”
"Send my decree."
Shangguan Lin raised his voice and said," Commander of the Imperial Army, Feng Shaojie, took bribes and perverted the law. He pocketed his own money and ignored the emperor's grace. He was unworthy of the previous emperor's nurturing. Today, we will kill his three clans as a warning to others."”
Shangguan Lin said to the officials,""The late emperor has just passed away, and I have no intention of killing. In order to accumulate blessings for the late emperor, it was enough to kill only three of his clans. The remaining men were banished to the army and the women were sold to the teaching workshop.”
The two imperial guards heard the order and dragged Samuel out of the throne room.
Hearing this, all the officials bowed respectfully and said loudly,"Your Majesty is merciful and virtuous. It is truly the fortune of the world and the blessing of the people.”
This was the Emperor, killing one person and three clans, and being called benevolent by the civil and military officials.
In fact, there was not much difference between killing three or nine clans. Both of them had killed all of Samuel's relatives.
Shangguan Lin swept his gaze across the throne room and said in a deep voice,"The Imperial Army Commander Feng Shaojie has been removed, but the Imperial Army cannot be without a master for a day.”
"Who do you think can take on this responsibility?”
The officials looked at each other, but no one answered.
Knowing the rules of the court, they had already guessed that the Emperor had already chosen someone for the position of Commander of the Imperial Army.
If they were to say anything wrong, they would definitely be reprimanded.
Shangguan Lin saw that the officials did not answer, so he raised his voice and said," Where is Zhang Han?”
"Your humble subject is here!"
Zhang Han walked out of the formation.
Shangguan Lin said," The Vice Commander of the Imperial Army, Zhang Han, has guarded the palace city for many years and has made outstanding contributions. Furthermore, he has made a contribution in capturing the bandits. He has been promoted to Commander of the Imperial Army and will take charge of the Imperial Army on my behalf.”
"This humble subject thanks Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!”
Zhang Han kowtowed, and the officials thought that it was true.
The Emperor had sent Zhang Han to raid Shaojie's mansion with the intention of nurturing him.
Moreover, the commander was removed and the vice commander took over. This was also justified.
If they were to transfer people from other places, the fifty thousand Imperial Army soldiers would not be convinced.
......
He got rid of the treacherous official Feng Shaojie and reprimanded the chief assistant Li Wenbo.
The officials thought that the young Emperor should be satisfied with the many things he had done in the morning court.
However, they had thought too simply. The incident with Drew was just the beginning.
"I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that I raised a mouse.”
Shangguan Lin's sudden words stunned the ministers.
They did not understand what the Emperor meant.
"I dreamt that my rat didn't like to eat meat or vegetables.”
"Guess what it likes to eat?”
The civil and military officials looked left and right. Left Prime Minister Tong Zhili stepped forward and said,""We are stupid and do not understand the deeper meaning. Please speak clearly, Your Majesty.”
Shangguan Lin smiled." This rat that I raised likes to eat gold and silver.”
"It's clearly only the size of a palm, but its stomach is like a bottomless pit.”
"Every day after I sleep, I would get up and steal gold and silver. Once I eat, I would eat a lot. No matter how much I eat, I won't be full.”
"All the ministers are knowledgeable people. I wonder who can interpret my dream for me?”
Hearing this, many of the officials present quivered. They understood what the Emperor meant.
However, he couldn't say it out loud.
