While the two were talking, Li Shimin had already led Zhao Yi over.
"My minister sees Your Majesty." The two of them clasped their hands and responded in unison.
Li Shimin waved his hand, "Prepare for Xuzhou City, I can't wait any longer."
"I will never return to Chang'an until Xuzhou's officialdom is cleared."
Chapter 575 You Have Lost Your Qualification To Talk To Me
At this time, it was late at night.
In Xuzhou City, everything is silent, except for the patrol lights, the people have long been asleep.
Li Shimin led the Tiance Army, rode their horses, and rushed to the city of Xuzhou at the fastest speed.
The guards on the city looked at the army with thick smoke billowing and banners flying, and thought they were dazzled.
This is the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, where did the army come from.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
When Li Shimin reined in and rode his horse to the city of Xuzhou.
The defenders on the city have already prepared for battle, no matter who they are, they must prepare in advance.
"People in the city listen, I am Fang Xuanling, the inspector of Chang'an, please open the city gate quickly." Fang Xuanling rode out and shouted loudly.
"Master Shouzheng, look at that banner, is it the Tiance Army!"
The guard on the city said to the dumbfounded Shou Zheng.
"Tiance Army, His Majesty's direct army, just now that person said he is Fang Xuanling?" Shouzheng was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "What are you still waiting for? Open the city gate quickly."
While talking, Shouzheng was wearing a black gauze hat and ran down the city.
creak...
The gate of Xuzhou City slowly opened.
Shouzheng ran out leading a group of people, "My lord, I am Luliang, Shouzheng, Shouzheng, the west gate of Xuzhou City."
"I don't know if you came to visit late at night, what's your business?"
Lu Liang wanted to see Fang Xuanling's letter, but he was afraid of offending Fang Xuanling, so he asked tactfully.
Fang Xuanling said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"From now on, Xuzhou City will be fully taken over by this official, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."
As he spoke, he threw the token in his hand to Lu Liang.
Lu Liang looked at the token with the golden dragon tattooed on it, was startled, and hastily moved out of the way.
Within half an hour, Fang Xuanling quickly took over the four gates of Xuzhou City.
Li Shimin led the Tiance Army and went straight to Xuzhou City, the government office.
The next day...
The sky is pale and bright.
Last night, there was a bloody storm in the city of Xuzhou.
Hundreds of officials, large and small, were all mentioned, the Yaqian of Xuzhou City Mansion.
Li Shimin sat upright in the hall and stayed up all night, holding the stack of crimes given to him by Liu San in his hand.
Last night, the first thing Cheng Yaojin did when he entered the city was to lead his army to the prefect's mansion to arrest someone.
But Wu Jun got the news a long time ago, and fled Xuzhou overnight without a trace.
In the government office, all the officials in Xuzhou Cheng were kneeling on the ground, waiting for the trial.
Except for a very few people who didn't know why, the rest of them lowered their heads and looked back on their own life. They knew who was sitting in the hall and what was going to greet them. They knew better than anyone else.
Soon...
Cheng Yaojin rushed into the government office, walking like a tiger, with a happy expression on his face, "Your Majesty, good news, Your Majesty..."
"That guy Wu Jun was caught by the last general."
He rushed into the house and couldn't wait to talk to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the chair, and said angrily: "Bring that guy in!"
After a while, two Tiance Army soldiers walked in with Wu Jun, whose legs were weakened.
boom!
The soldier let go, Wu Jun staggered and fell to the ground.
At the same time, a wave of killing intent swept towards Wu Jun, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
"Bastard! Kneel down for me!"
Li Shimin roared at Wu Jun.
Terrified, Wu Jun hurriedly got up from the ground, knelt down in front of Li Shimin, and kept knocking his head on the ground.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crimes, I deserve ten thousand deaths for my sins..."
Li Shimin just went up and kicked Wu Jun far away, "You fucking have the nerve to say it!"
"Are you worthy of being an official of the Great Tang? Are you worthy of being a member of the Great Tang?"
"If I didn't kill Ling Chi, you wouldn't know how much I hate you!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin stepped forward and kicked Wu Jun out of the hall.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling hurried forward to hold him back, "Your Majesty calm down, take care of the dragon body..."
Li Shimin's body trembled with anger, "Even if I cut him into pieces, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
"Even if I send him to the [-]th floor of hell, that will not bring back the lives of the people who died in his hands."
"Wu Jun! You are the eternal sinner of the Tang Dynasty! You are a beast that is not as good as pigs and dogs!"
Li Shimin chased out the door, pointed at Wu Jun who was in a mess and fell in the courtyard, and cursed angrily.
Xuzhou officials kneeling on the ground trembled as they looked at Li Shimin, who was burning with anger, and Wu Jun, who was extremely miserable.
Even if they had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off the Emperor Tang to such an extent.
"Your Majesty, I have found out that I have sinned against Your Majesty, so please spare my dog's life!"
Wu Jun climbed to the ground again, begging bitterly.
"Forgive your life, those people who were killed by you, have you ever thought about spareing their lives!"
"Cheng Yaojin!"
"The end is here!"
"Put this bastard Wu Jun under my custody, parade him through the streets for three days, and then let me beat him to death!"
Li Shimin said viciously, wishing he could chop him up right now.
"The last general takes orders!"
Cheng Yaojin responded, went down, lifted Wu Jun, and walked out of the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, I have important information to report!"
Wu Jun struggled and shouted.
"You save it and go to hell to talk to Hades, you have lost the right to talk to me!"
Li Shimin was furious and hated to the bone.
The officials in the court were so frightened by this scene that they paraded through the streets for three days and were executed Lingchi.
What a cruel punishment.
Li Shimin sentenced Wu Jun to death without even a trial, and of course Wu Jun did not defend himself.
There is no need to delve into the guilt of this.
"You all raise your heads!" Li Shimin scanned the courtyard, his eyes passing over every official, "You oppress the common people, in Yurou Township, when officials and businessmen collude, where are your proud heads?"
"Now, kneeling in this government office, do you know you have a guilty conscience? When you see me, do you get scared after knowing it?"
"I came to Xuzhou this time just for you. Don't worry, I will make you understand."
"You are kneeling here. If anyone dares to get up without authorization, I will cut off his head."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeves and took care of Wu Jun. His mood finally eased a bit.
But he knew that this was just the beginning, an introduction to the officialdom of the Qingming Dynasty.
It hasn't come yet, the moment when it really starts to disturb the Tang Dynasty's officialdom.
For three consecutive days, Li Shimin has been waiting in the government office.
The officials outside knelt down for three days in a row, and it is unknown how many of them passed out.
Fang Xuanling took the list and came to Li Shimin's side, "Your Majesty, the officials involved in the case in Xuzhou, 210 and five people, have all been arrested and brought to justice."
"There are a total of 13 landlords and aristocratic families involved in the case, and all of them have been arrested and brought to justice."
"All the annexed land is being distributed back to the people. Their losses in recent years are also being counted. The losses will be compensated by the property of the confiscated landlords and officials. If not enough, the Ministry of Households will allocate it."
"Stabilizing the mood of the people, arresting the officials involved in the case, taking over Xuzhou's government affairs, and purging the officialdom... These things are going on simultaneously."
Chapter 576 They Are Officials Just To Collect Money
Fang Xuanling cooperated with Wei Zheng to do these things with ease.
The land annexation case in Xuzhou made the two heartbroken, and they will never show mercy when facing corrupt officials.
Li Shimin put down the file in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "No one slipped through the net."
"I don't care about the background and relationship of these officials involved in the case, as long as they are involved, they will be dealt with legally and will never be tolerated."
"In addition, the officials involved in the case in Xuzhou City were charged with a third-class crime and confiscated their property. I want the people all over the world to see. Where they have reason, I want to let the officials of the Tang Dynasty see. Those who cause chaos and act recklessly, I will never forgive them lightly."
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and replied, "This humble minister leads the order."
Chang'an City...
Tai Chi Hall...
Li Chengqian was watching Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji reviewing the memorial.
Ever since Eldest Sun Wuji returned from the Day of Restraint the day before yesterday, he joined the team reviewing the memorial.
In Li Chengqian's country, the supervision should not be too easy.
Except for extremely special circumstances, he will make discretionary decisions, and leave the rest to Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji.
Not long after, Wu Yuchen was brought into the palace by Qin Feng.
"My minister, see Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Ever since Wu Yuchen was admitted as the number one scholar, he was sent to various places to practice.
I just returned to Chang'an last month, and I am a third-rank official, doctor Yinqing Guanglu, but he is just a loose official, and no specific government affairs have been arranged yet.
"Yuchen, sit down."
Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal Wu Yuchen.
"His Royal Highness called the minister into the palace, did he arrange government affairs for the minister?"
"I have been idle at home for a month, and I feel deeply that time is wasted..."
After Wu Yuchen sat down, he looked eagerly at Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji who were reviewing the memorial not far away.
"Hehe..." Li Chengqian said with a light smile, "The reason why I gave you a one-month vacation is because I have more difficult and important tasks for you."
"Once you take office, I'm afraid you won't be able to be free even if you want to."
Wu Yuchen cupped his hands and responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, no matter whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I will not hesitate."
