Yintian Prefecture Magistrate Zhao Hongru hid behind him, shivering.
That was because he was the one who handled the case that Li Jin Nian mentioned.
Looking at the shiny sword in Li Jin Nian's hand, he recalled the special meaning that the empress had given to this sword.
Any corrupt official could be dealt with first before reporting.
Zhao Hongru hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he stood up.
Because he knew that this matter could not be hidden. Li Jin Nian would find out about it sooner or later.
He might as well take the initiative.
There might be a chance of survival.
"Lord Li, if I remember correctly, that case was handled by me.”
Zhao Hongru stuttered.
Yesterday, Li Jin Nian was on the same level as him, both Rank-4.
But today, Li Jin Nian had already been promoted to a second-rank Imperial Censor by the empress, so Zhao Hongru had no problem calling himself a lowly official.
"Zhao Hongru, you dog! If you hadn't shielded that bastard, my wife wouldn't have jumped into the well.”
"If I had known earlier, I would have killed you to avenge my wife!”
Unexpectedly, the person involved was at the scene.
However, he was now tied up and kneeling on the ground.
To these rebels.
Li Jin Nian had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, they had committed the crime of treason.
On the other hand, there was a reason why they chose this path.
It was indeed hateful and pitiful.
"Zhao Hongru, what else do you have to say?”
Li Jin Nian questioned.
"I…I…"
Zhao Hongru stammered. He thought for a long time but could not find a reason to explain himself.
Because he really had nothing to explain.
This was his fault.
"Go kowtow and apologize. If the other party forgives you, I can spare your life.”
Li Jin Nian said to Zhao Hong Ru.
Zhao Hongru's face turned ashen.
That person's wife had died because of him. It would be strange if he could forgive him.
So, wasn't Li Jin Nian trying to kill him?
Although Zhao Hongru felt that he was most likely going to die, for the sake of a chance of survival, he still knelt in front of the traitor and kowtowed crazily.
She frantically confessed to him.
All the officials in the court, including the empress, were greatly moved by this scene.
Some people were afraid that they would become the next Zhao Hongru.
Some people wanted to take this as a warning and never become a dog official.
There were also people who found their conscience and felt that they were really a bastard in the past.
……
When the netizens in China saw this scene, they had mixed feelings.
He hated Zhao Hongru and the other dog officials.
There was also a feeling of heartache for the helpless commoners of the era a thousand years ago.
He was also grateful for living in such a peaceful era.
In the live broadcast room, Bing Bing's expression looked a little serious."It feels like it's really because of the continuous efforts of generations of predecessors that we have our current lives.”
Wang Han nodded. If not, then someone must have paid the price for you. We do need to be grateful,"
Lieutenant General Liu Hua, who was at the side, was perhaps the person who felt the most about this. He said with a serious expression,
"There is no savior in this world."
"There are no gods."
"We can only rely on ourselves to create everyone's happiness.”
"As big as a country, as small as an individual."
"Fight for your own destiny."
At this moment, the national cohesion of the Chinese netizens was once again improved.
Everyone was determined to contribute to the prosperity of China.
"God Li fought a bloody battle a thousand years ago and was in danger at any time.”
"We live in an era of peace, so we can't drag ourselves down. Brothers, work hard together to make our country better and better!”
"Well said. We can't let God Li fight alone. Let's work hard together. When Shen Li comes back, we'll let him see a better China!”
The netizens in Xia country formed a unified consensus.
……
Naturally, the soldier did not forgive Zhao Hongru.
Even if Zhao Hongru said that he was willing to give him financial compensation.
He didn't accept it.
His beloved wife was dead, what was the use of money?
In the end, Zhao Hongru kowtowed until he was badly mutilated, but he was still dragged out and beheaded.
The officials felt like they were dreaming.
Zhao Hongru had been standing in the main hall just a moment ago, but he had suddenly disappeared.
Of course, the officials who had never done anything bad would not feel anything.
Only a dog official who had done something wrong would feel guilty.
In reality, these people knew that the bad things that Zhao Hongru had done were considered relatively few.
In the Imperial Court, there were many people who were ten times or a hundred times worse than Zhao Hongru.
And there were quite a few of them.
Zhao Hongru had already been executed.
But the royal court was still so lousy.
Li Jin Nian swept his gaze over, and his eyes were still filled with a dog official.
It was impossible for him to have so much energy to try these corrupt officials one by one, and he really could not arrest all of them at once.
Otherwise, the country's system would be paralyzed.
Reorganizing the officialdom was definitely a huge project.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Censorate and the Ministry of Justice have an unshirkable responsibility for the current state of the court.”
"Thus, this subject requests Your Majesty to dismiss the Imperial Censorates and the Minister of Justice Guo Jiang. After the truth is found, they will be tried according to their crimes.”
Li Jin Nian said to the empress.
"Yes."
The empress didn't hesitate at all.
She knew very well that this opportunity today was quite rare, so she naturally could not miss it.
"As for the new Minister of Justice and the candidates for the Imperial Censorate, let the Chief Assistant choose the appropriate candidates.”
Li Jin Nian looked at Wang Pingchang.
"Your Majesty, I already have a suitable candidate in mind.”
Wang Pingchang said.
"Please speak, Minister Wang."
The empress gestured for him to continue.
There was a saying that a country could not live without a ruler for a day. The reason was the same. The Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Censorate were very important supervisory departments. If there was no leader for a day, many problems would easily arise.
"This old minister wishes to recommend Tian Rong of the Supreme Court and Xia Xun of the General Administration Department to serve as the left and right censors of the Imperial Censorate.”
Wang Pingchang said.
The ministers were not surprised by his suggestion.
This was because these two were of the third rank, and with their qualifications and abilities, it would not be a problem for them to serve as Imperial Censorates.
It was equivalent to saying that the official was promoted by one level.
……
When she saw this, Bing Bing couldn't help but ask,"
"Professor Li, what do the Minister of Judicial Review and the Political Envoy do?”
Not only her, but the netizens were also very curious.
Professor Li answered,"
"The Head of the Supreme Court is equivalent to the current President of the Supreme Court, and the General Administration Department is equivalent to the director of the Central Letter Office.”
Professor Li's explanation was easy to understand.
The netizens instantly understood.
"As for the position of Minister of Justice, I would like to recommend the Assistant Minister of Works, Su Fei.”
Wang Pingchang continued.
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the imperial court.
Even the Chinese netizens were stunned.
One had to know that Su Fei's current official position was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, from the fourth grade.
The Minister of Justice was a second-grade official.
Jumping five levels in a row!
This transition could already be described as light speed.
This had never happened before in the history of Da Feng.
Oh, wait.
Li Jin Nian was also one of them.
However, whether it was in the hearts of the officials or the netizens in China, Li Jin Nian was like a monster (god).
No matter how ridiculous things were, it was not surprising that they happened to him.
"Lord Chief, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate.”
The minister of Taichang Temple frowned.
"That's right, Assistant Minister Su isn't even thirty years old this year, his qualifications are still lacking.”
The Imperial Clan Deputy Prefect echoed.
"It's not just a matter of seniority. Assistant Minister Su has always been working in the Ministry of Works. The work of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works is very different. I think that we should first transfer Assistant Minister Su to the Ministry of Justice.”
Xu Yannian, a cabinet scholar, said.
He had a very good relationship with Wang Pingchang, and he had also thought highly of Su Fei back then.
She had once wanted him to be her son-in-law, but Su Fei had rejected her.
Xu Yannian had come out to stop him from becoming the Minister of Justice. It was not because he held a grudge against Su Fei for what had happened back then and wanted to take revenge on her. It was just that from a rational point of view, it was indeed a little inappropriate to let Su Fei go.
There were also many ministers who disagreed with this.
However, in view of his composition, he did not say much.
They were all more worried about themselves now. How could they care about who would become the Minister of Justice?
Otherwise, if the position of Minister of Justice was vacant, the big shots of the various factions would come out to fight for it.
He would try his best to let his own people sit in this position.
Su Fei did not expect Wang Pingchang to recommend her to be the Minister of Justice. This was no longer a surprise, but a shock.
Su Fei was very happy to receive the Chief's approval.
Because Wang Pingchang used to be his idol.
But on one hand, he knew that he was not capable enough. On the other hand, he did not want to cause trouble for Wang Pingchang.
Therefore, he stood up and said,
"I'm very touched by your high regard.”
"But just like what you have said, this lowly official is not qualified enough and does not know much about the work of the Ministry of Justice, so I am afraid that I am unable to shoulder this great responsibility.”
"Sir Chief, why don't you consider the others?”
Wang Pingchang smiled and looked at him."
"Does Assistant Minister Su not trust me that much?”
Su Fei was a little embarrassed and said,"
"If it's the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, I think we can give it a try.”
"But I don't think I'm good enough for the Minister of Justice.”
In fact, Su Fei wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice because it was a place that could uphold justice for the people of the world.
Seeing Su Fei so insistent, Wang Pingchang had planned to give up.
But at this moment, Li Jin Nian suddenly stood up and said to Su Fei,"
"Why not?"
"I think Lord Su is very capable!"
