The imperial court fell silent.
No one stood up to refute.
Li Jin Nian's current position in the imperial court was rather special.
It wasn't that there weren't people with higher official positions than him. There were still more than a dozen of them.
However, his words carried more weight than the empress's.
"Lord Li…"
Su Fei looked at Li Jin Nian, her eyes sparkling.
Initially, he had no confidence in himself. However, after hearing Li Jin Nian's words, he suddenly felt confident.
"If you don't understand, go and learn. With Lord Su's talent, I think you'll be able to get used to it very quickly.”
"With me here, what are you afraid of?"
At this point, Li Jin Nian threw a warm and powerful smile at Su Fei.
……
When the Chinese netizens saw this scene, their hearts couldn't help but feel warm.
"F * ck, brothers, I hit it. What about you?”
"Although I feel that something is not right, I have to admit that God Li and Lord Su are indeed a couple.”
"What do you know? This is the friendship between men, pure and romantic.”
The netizens discussed in the bullet screen.
In the live broadcast room, Bing Bing looked at Professor Li Shuhe."
"Professor Li, what do you think of letting Lord Su become the Minister of Justice?”
Professor Li pondered and said,"
"The position of Minister of Justice is very unusual.”
"He's equivalent to the current Secretary of the Central Political and Law Committee, Minister of Public Security, Minister of Justice, Deputy Chief Inspector of the Supreme Court, and Deputy President of the Supreme Court. The person chosen for this position would directly affect the integrity of the entire court.”
"With the current state of the Great Feng Imperial Court, it is indeed quite difficult to find a person who is upright and capable.”
"Although Lord Su is a little young, he is indeed a suitable candidate.”
"Besides, I have a feeling that contestant Li will help him.”
When Li Shuhe said this, Bing Bing's eyes lit up.
"Professor Li, do you mean that Contestant Li will teach Master Su all the modern public security law?”
"I think it's very possible." Li Shuhe nodded.”
……
Just as Li Shuhe had guessed, since Li Jin Nian would support Su Fei, who was a judicial novice, to become the Minister of Justice, he was naturally prepared.
The Imperial Censorate's left and right censors, as well as the Ministry of Justice's Minister of Justice, had been replaced by Wang Pingchang and Li Jinnian's faction.
The other factions in the court, such as Qi Yan's faction of old ministers, and the faction of the Yan father and son in power, were all trembling.
They knew that even though Li Jin Nian did not directly attack them, they were still in a daze.
But this day would come sooner or later.
Moreover, the things they had done were not investigated at all.
Only the heavens knew how much they wanted their own people to become the Minister of Justice and the Imperial Censorate's Left and Right Censors, but they did not dare to speak up in this situation.
They knew that if they dared to speak, Li Jin Nian would definitely make things difficult for them.
At that time, there would be no room for negotiation.
Therefore, they chose to endure for the time being.
After the empress officially announced the appointment of Su Fei and the others, Li Jin Nian's gaze swept across the ministers. His gaze was like a torch, as if he had the magic to see through people's hearts.
He said in a deep voice,
"I think you know better than I do whether you are innocent or not.”
"Now, I will give you a chance.”
"Those who voluntarily surrender will be given a certain degree of leniency.”
"I hope that everyone will be more self-aware."
"Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the Imperial Censorate and the Ministry of Justice found out.”
At this point, Li Jin Nian could not help but snort coldly.
"Anyone who is suspected of corruption, bribery, personal gain, or abuse of power will be confiscated.”
"If the circumstances are serious, he will be beheaded according to the law."
"A particularly serious case of the entire family being executed."
When they heard this, all the officials in the court were terrified.
It would have been fine if someone else had said this, but it had to be Li Jin Nian.
They had no doubt that Li Jin Nian would really do that.
"You might think that I'm threatening you.”
"Congratulations on guessing correctly. I was indeed threatening you.”
Li Jin Nian said to the ministers in a serious manner.
"Therefore, I advise you to confess and be lenient. If you resist, be severe.”
"Surrender yourself and strive for leniency. This is your only way out.”
"Don't say that I didn't give you a way out, because I already did.”
"Whether you live or die depends on how you choose.”
Li Jin Nian felt that he had said everything he needed to say.
If he killed all these people directly.
On the one hand, it was inevitable that there would be some unjust cases, so Li Jin Nian still hoped that the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Censorate would investigate and confirm that they were guilty before proceeding with the trial.
On the other hand, the purge was too ruthless. In a short period of time, it would definitely cause panic and affect the normal operation of various government departments, which was not conducive to the stability of the country.
In a sense, removing Guo Jiang, the Minister of Justice, and the Imperial Censorate's left and right censors was a form of deterrence.
He wanted those corrupt officials not to take any chances and force them to turn themselves in.
"After the court leaves, those who wish to surrender and seek leniency can come directly to the Ministry of Justice.”
"The earlier you come, the greater the leniency you can obtain.”
"If some people were coerced by bribery and the circumstances are relatively light, they might even be exempted from punishment and only be given a warning. However, if they commit the same crime again, it won't be so easy to deal with them.”
Li Jin Nian said to the ministers.
……
When they saw this, the Chinese netizens couldn't help but exclaim.
"F * ck, God Li is too ruthless. With just a few words, he made these ministers roll up their sleeves.”
"Indeed, I feel that the threshold of the Ministry of Justice will be trampled by someone later.”
"As expected of God Li. Not only did he stabilize the situation, but he also carried out a major purge of the imperial court. This operation is invincible!"
"I'll be honest. I don't think I can find a better way to deal with this than God Li. Although each of these dog officials was more despicable than the last, if they were really killed, the entire country would be in chaos. At that time, not only would it fall into internal strife, but foreign enemies would also take the opportunity to invade if they knew about it. It was still very dangerous.”
"Yes, that's why God Li is really calm. I believe that he hates these dog officials more than we do, but he wasn't dominated by his emotions.”
"I'll lend God Li to Da Feng for a few days. When God Li comes back, he'll be ours, hehehe.”
"Hahaha, well said. I hope Da Feng knows his place and treats our God Li better. Otherwise, I'll take God Li away.”
The netizens in Xia country were talking about it in the bullet screen. Everyone was amazed by Li Jinnian's series of actions.
However, they did not know that there was something even more amazing to come.
Li Jin Nian continued to speak to the ministers,"
"When the time comes, Lord Su will have ten green cards, thirty yellow cards, and fifty red cards.”
"What is the use of this card?"
"It's used to reduce the sentence of the first 90 people who turned themselves in.”
"If you can get a green card, you can be exempted from punishment and only be given a warning.”
"If you get a yellow card, you will be treated leniently. Depending on the situation, you will be dismissed or demoted.”
"If you get a red card, at least you don't have to worry about being cut.”
"As for whether to give a green card, a yellow card, or a red card, it depends not only on the time you turn yourself in, but also on whether the situation is serious.”
"Lord Li, can I turn myself in now?”
Unexpectedly, before Li Jin Nian could finish speaking, someone stood up.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that it was Guo Yu, the official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
He knew that his circumstances were not serious and felt that if he took the initiative to turn himself in, he might be able to avoid punishment.
"Your behavior is considered a false start and is against the rules.”
Li Jin Nian said to Guo Yu.
Guo Yu was a little dejected when he heard this. He had originally planned to rush to the Ministry of Justice after the court session and try to get the first green card.
But at this moment, Lee Jin Nian spoke again,"
"But seeing Lord Guo take the initiative, I'm really touched.”
"Lord Su, if we find out that Lord Guo's circumstances are light, then give him the first green card.”
Halfway through his sentence, Li Jin Nian turned to Su Fei.
"Alright."
Su Fei held back her laughter and said seriously.
"I thank Lord Li and Lord Su in advance.”
Guo Yu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Milords, please rest assured that I did not make any major mistakes. I was only coerced into accepting some benefits.”
"Mm, go to the Ministry of Justice later and explain the matter clearly.”
Li Jin Nian looked at him and said.
"Yes, Lord Li. I will definitely explain everything and hand over the stolen money. I will accept any punishment.”
Guo Yu looked at Li Jin Nian as if he was looking at his savior.
"Lord Li, I also want to turn myself in."
"Lord Li, there's still me!"
"Count me in!"
As soon as Guo Yu finished speaking, a group of officials followed closely behind.
There was no doubt that Guo Yu's voluntary surrender had provoked the other ministers.
They knew that if they were found out later, they would definitely be punished severely, so they simply turned themselves in.
Just like what Li Jin Nian had said earlier, leniency would be given to those who confessed, and severity would be given to those who resisted.
In an instant, more than ten officials in the court followed Guo Yu closely.
Looking at the scene in front of him.
Everyone, including Wang Pingchang, Qin Shuying, the empress, and Su Fei, looked at Li Jinnian with admiration.
The empress recalled what Wang Pingchang had said to her that afternoon.
"Your Majesty, Assistant Minister Li has the talent to rule the world. With him around, there is hope for Dafeng and a future.”
"Therefore, no matter how the officials in the court target him, Your Majesty must protect his life.”
At that time, the empress thought that Wang Pingchang was exaggerating.
She admitted that Li Jin Nian was very capable, but she said that he was only Da Feng's hope.
Was he really that powerful?
But now, the empress only wanted to say-
The Clown was actually me.
"I actually doubted Li Qing's family's ability.”
"I have blasphemed the gods.”
