Seeing this scene, the Chinese netizens were once again impressed by Li Jinnian's actions.
Let these dog officials come out and report themselves.
This greatly reduced the difficulty of the Ministry of Justice and Imperial Censorate.
There was a person who reported the case and followed the vine to find the melon. The entire interest group was uprooted.
"Yan Qingjia, is what Zhao Qingjia said true?”
The empress's gaze fell on Yan Zhen, and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Jing is slandering me.”
Yan Zhen stood out and said.
Naturally, he would not admit it.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I still have the invitation that Yan Li Xing sent to my residence.”
"This is all evidence."
Zhao Jing said.
"And I remember it clearly. The first time I gave him ten taels of gold, the second time I gave him a painting by a famous artist from the previous dynasty, the third time I gave him a pair of exquisite jade, and the fourth time I gave him a beauty from the Western Regions.”
…When they saw this, the Chinese netizens were immediately impressed.
"This Zhao Jing is also a good thing.”
"Brothers, I just checked online. This Zhao Jing died quite miserably. When he went to a brothel, he got into an argument with someone and was stabbed more than 20 times.”
"I can only say that he deserved it."
Although Zhao Jing had reported Yan Zhen, the netizens still did not have a good impression of him.
Because everyone knew very well that Zhao Jing was only doing this to protect himself.
"Men, take Yan Zhen down.
”
The empress's expression was ice-cold. Yan Zhen was the Minister of Personnel Affairs and had great power. If even he had a problem, it was hard to imagine how many people in the imperial court had bribed him.
"But it's also easy to investigate. When the time comes, we'll investigate all the officials promoted by Yan Zhen one by one.”
The empress thought to herself.
After Yan Zhen was taken down, Li Jin Nian continued,"Your Majesty, you must have seen it. These officials may not have high living expenses, but the expenses they spend on building relationships are quite shocking."
”
"Local officials are corrupt and take bribes. Once they earn money, they naturally have to be filial to their superiors. The higher-level officials reaped benefits and became a community of interests with the local officials. Naturally, they would turn a blind eye to the illegal behavior of the lower-level local officials.”
"Therefore, to solve this problem from the root, we must prohibit officials from holding banquets and use various opportunities to amass wealth wantonly to cultivate a clean and honest atmosphere.”
After hearing this, the empress more or less understood.
She looked at Wang Pingchang and asked,"Is there anything else you want to add, Chief?"
”
Wang Pingchang shook his head."Lord Li has already explained it in detail. I request Your Majesty to issue a decree according to the few guidelines that Lord Li has mentioned. It is to strictly crack down on bribery and gift-giving between officials. Once caught, it will be immediately dismissed.”
Originally, he had wanted the empress to establish a system to raise money.
But now that he thought about it, there were still many flaws. It was not as good as the methods that Li Jin Nian had suggested.
"Mm, let's do as Li Qing's family says.”
the empress said.
Just as everyone was focused on the issue of corruption.
The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came from below the throne room!
"Dudududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududu
"Report!"
"Director Qian requests an audience at the Gate of North Town!!!”
A middle-aged soldier covered in blood stumbled down from his horse and rushed into the Imperial Court. He brushed past Li Jin Nian. This scene was almost identical to that day.
The scene was extremely similar.
Everyone in the imperial court had a bad premonition.
"Your Majesty, after a series of bloody battles a few days ago, our soldiers had already recaptured Northguard Fortress.”
"However, the Xiongnu reinforcements continued to reinforce us, and our soldiers were almost cut off from food. Without reinforcements, it was really difficult to continue, so we could only give up.”
"Currently, the remaining 3,000 men have retreated to the Luo River Canyon. General Lin has ordered me to return to the capital to ask for help. He will build fortifications at the Luo River to stop the Xiongnu pursuers.”
the middle-aged soldier said.
"Lost again?"
The empress was shocked and her face turned pale.
"Fan Jin, that dog spy, actually said that the Xiongnu army had retreated.”
Xu Yannian from Cabinet University said angrily.
"We should have been able to hold on for a few more days and wait for reinforcements to arrive. But for some reason, the granary in the city caught fire, causing our rations to be insufficient to support our resistance.”
the middle-aged soldier said.
When he mentioned this, everyone could not help but think of Kong Xun.
Kong Xun was the deputy general of the Northguard Fortress, so this was most likely related to him.
It was a pity that Kong Xun and Fan Jin had already been taken away. Otherwise, they would have been able to confront each other.
The news that the Northguard Fortress had fallen shocked the entire court.
Some of the ministers were restless again.
They all knew what Northguard Fortress meant to Dafeng.
Northguard Fortress was the strongest and safest barrier in the Northern Desert.
In the past hundred years, the Xiongnu Khaganate had invaded many times and waged wars, but they always returned empty-handed.
The empress knew very well that the Northguard Fortress was the most important place for Dafeng to live.
The capital was only a thousand miles away from the Northguard Fortress.
If they did not think of a way quickly, the Xiongnu army would be able to successfully break through the other border passes in at most half a month's time and arrive at the Imperial City!
The ministers were thinking that if the country of Dafeng was destroyed, why would they turn themselves in?
He might as well join the Xiongnu. After the new dynasty was established, he could still be an official.
Li Jin Nian's gaze swept across the ministers.
Just by looking at their eyes, Li Jin Nian could guess what they were thinking.
Wang Pingchang was frowning.
He felt regretful.
It was not easy for Li Jin Nian to clean up the court, and Da Feng was slowly on the right track.
At this time, the Xiongnu invaded again.
If they did not defeat the Xiongnu now, it would mean that all their efforts today would be in vain.
The netizens in China in the live broadcast room also became nervous with the situation in Dafeng.
"Li Shen feels that the team has become a fire extinguishing team.”
"Yes, it was not easy to clean up the court and punish these corrupt officials. Seeing that everything was about to get better, the Xiongnu attacked again.”
"At this time, I feel a little bit. The power of an individual is indeed very small under the advancement of the wheel of history. Even Shen Li found it hard to control the situation in the world.”
"Sigh, in fact, God Li is already very strong, but in the face of the torrent of history, it is very difficult to control the course of history with one's own strength.”
The netizens from Xia Country sighed.
They had already thought it through. In any case, it was fine as long as Li Jin Nian could return safely.
Everything else was secondary.
"Your Majesty, the Northguard Fortress has fallen. The Xiongnu army might arrive at the city in a few days.
In order to protect Dafeng's country, I implore Your Majesty to move the capital.”
At this moment, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Wei Zhao, stood out and said.
"Yes, it's better to move the capital just to be safe.”
"As long as there's life, there's hope. It's not a wise move to fight the Xiongnu head-on. Cross the river south and preserve our strength.”
The Imperial Clan Deputy said.
"Your Majesty, I also think that we should move the capital south to the Si River area. There are plains there that are suitable for farming and rich in resources.”
"We can rest and build up our strength at the Si River and fight back in the future!”
The Chamberlain of Dependencies said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, move the capital.”
"Your Majesty, please move the capital!"
"Your Majesty, please move the capital!"
"..." In an instant, dozens of ministers stood up and proposed to move the capital.
One of the cabinet scholars, who had just turned himself in, also knelt on the ground and pleaded for the empress to move the capital.
"A bunch of trash, what else can you do other than running away?”
Li Jin Nian shouted angrily.
The court immediately fell silent.
"Do you really think that I don't know what you are thinking?”
"Once you move south, you will have the chance to escape.”
"Some even planned to surrender to the Xiongnu and become officials in the new dynasty.”
"General Lin led the soldiers to fight a bloody battle in Northguard Fortress. Even after the city was breached, they did not retreat back to the capital.”
"He's still leading the remnants of his troops to fight the Xiongnu pursuers in the Luo River Canyon.”
"And you? His mind was filled with thoughts of moving the capital and where to place General Lin and the three thousand soldiers?”
Li Jin Nian's voice was like a great bell, and every word he said made the ministers deaf.
The next moment, Li Jin Nian drew his sword. A cold light flashed, and the head of the cabinet scholar who had tried to escape while the capital was moving fell to the ground.
"Whoosh!"
The imperial court was instantly in an uproar.
No one had expected that Li Jin Nian would actually rush to kill someone in the throne room.
Li Jin Nian's cold gaze swept across the officials one by one. His body emitted a murderous aura."Whoever dares to say another word about moving the capital will be punished like this!"
