Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Li Chengqian nodded, "Henan Road, you have heard about Xuzhou."

"I heard." Wu Yuchen lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty made a private visit, and in a fit of anger, arrested more than 200 officials in Xuzhou. The level of corruption among the officials there is shocking and chilling."

"Amalgamation of land, buying and selling officials, collusion between officials and businessmen... to oppress the people, they do everything they can, and the methods are so cruel and outrageous."

Throughout his life, Wu Yuchen hated corrupt officials and powerful landlords the most.

He was originally from a poor family, and he is the most able to experience and understand the sufferings of the people.

"In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, those are all superficial phenomena." Li Chengqian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen hurriedly stood up, "Your Highness, I dare not..."

Li Chengqian pressed his hand, "Sit down and talk, in front of this palace, don't be rigid, worldly etiquette."

As he said, he handed the teacup to Wu Yuchen.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wu Yuchen responded, and sat down slowly, "I understand what Your Highness said, and this is the direction that I have been striving to find a breakthrough."

"The country is prosperous, and there is no fear of foreign aggression. This should be the best time for the people to live in the present."

"But...but Weichen can't figure out why such things happen one after another, and they are repeatedly banned. These people are like moths in front of money, and they are not afraid of burning fire."

"When the butcher's knife is not hanging on their heads, they don't know how to repent."

"Is it really so difficult to be a clear official?"

Li Chengqian only smiled slightly when he heard this, "People have different thoughts. You are an official to benefit the people, but they are just to collect money."

"The purpose of their examination and fame is for power and wealth, so it is absolutely impossible for you to let them benefit the people of one side."

"Especially in the positions of prefect, state shepherd, and governor, one person dies, and all of them die..."

"I understand their thoughts, so I must not let these people with bad intentions mess up one side."

"Sigh..." Wu Yuchen sighed, "It's just that I think this matter is too simple."

"It seems that there is still a long way to go to eliminate the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty."

"Let's not talk about gossip for now." Li Chengqian waved his hand and continued: "I didn't call you here to clear up the officialdom. I want to send you to Xuzhou to lead Xuzhou city prefect and serve as Xuzhou governor and general Xuzhou. government affairs."

"Xuzhou Inspector?" Wu Yuchen put down the teacup he picked up, "I thought His Highness wanted to restart Yushi Terrace?"

Wu Yuchen responded, feeling somewhat lost in words.

"What? You don't want to?" Li Chengqian put down the teacup, looked at him, and smiled lightly.

"I don't dare...it's just..." Wu Yuchen stammered, not daring to answer.

During the time he was idle at home, he kept thinking about what position Li Chengqian would arrange for him.

After Dang Renhong's case was settled, Wu Yuchen became interested in Yushitai.

This must be a new breakthrough point for Datang's future government affairs.

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Speak up if you have something to say, discuss it with me, don't need to hide it."

Wu Yuchen looked at Li Chengqian with firm eyes, "Your Highness, I have the confidence to be the governor of Xuzhou, and I am also confident to handle government affairs in an orderly manner and restore Xuzhou to its former prosperity."

"Even if the ministers are well governed, Xuzhou is only a state, and only the people of Xuzhou are rich."

"There are so many states in the Tang Dynasty, and the humble officials may not be able to manage them all in a lifetime of poverty."

Li Chengqian smiled, "You can just speak up if you have something to say, you don't have to go around in circles..."

"Your Highness, if we can't restart Yushitai, all we have done will be useless." Wu Yuchen said emphatically and decisively.

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to enter Yushitai?"

Wu Yuchen's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "I have confidence, Xuzhou, you have also seen it, and it is imperative to restart Yushitai."

"Just rectify the administration of officials or only target a few states, how can we clear up the officialdom."

He didn't answer Li Chengqian's question directly, but his attitude was decisive and beyond doubt.

"I understand what you mean, but do you think things will be easy and smooth after the restart of Yushitai?"

"What would you do if you knew you were going to die? Would you sit and wait for death?"

Li Chengqian took a sip of his tea, neither in a hurry nor in arrogance.

"Your Highness, I am not afraid of danger!" Wu Yuchen looked at Li Chengqian, his eyes were full of confidence and determination, "If anyone wants to sacrifice for the rectification of officials, this person can be me."

Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled wryly, this scholar is really amazing when he becomes serious.

"I promise you that I will let you take up a post at Yushitai, and it will be a front-line official position with real power in your hands."

Hearing this, Wu Yuchen's eyes became hot.

"But the premise is that you need to go to Xuzhou to take a post first, and use the fastest time to bring Xuzhou's government affairs on the right track, eliminate negative effects, and enhance the sense of belonging of the people."

Wu Yuchen nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will not disgrace my life."

Chapter 577 That's what I smashed out with silver

Three days later...

Under the city of Xuzhou.

The breeze is gentle and the drizzle is misty.

220 Eight officials and landlords involved in the case in Xuzhou were escorted to the execution ground under the city.

Li Shimin personally supervised the execution.

In the execution ground, wailing was everywhere, ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Some officials who were not worthy of death were added to the third class because of their crimes, and all of them entered the execution list.

Outside the execution ground, it was surrounded by common people who came to watch the execution.

More than 200 corrupt officials in Xuzhou were executed collectively, which was a great blessing to the people of Xuzhou.

In recent years, countless people have suffered from it.

"Heaven has eyes, these dog officials who caused the disaster finally got what they deserved. Let them die so easily, it's really cheap for them."

"It is really a blessing for the people of the world to have His Majesty in the Tang Dynasty. Collectively killing more than 200 officials is a huge test for His Majesty."

"Corruption and perversion of the law, harming the common people, in Yurou Township, they are not worthy of being officials, not worthy of politics."

"Hahaha... I'm going to get really drunk today, to celebrate a beautiful day, to celebrate the great day when more than 200 corrupt officials died."

The surrounding people applauded and applauded again and again, and no one complained for any official in the execution ground.

Among the many common people, Ergou and Liu San stand out.

They looked at Li Shimin sitting upright on the execution stage, and the corrupt Xuzhou officials kneeling all over the ground, and felt indescribably relieved.

After years of holding back my breath, I was finally relieved today.

"Third brother, Your Majesty really did what he said. Look at those dog officials who are usually arrogant and domineering, but now they all kneel in front of us like bereaved dogs."

Er Gou gritted his teeth.

He hates it!I hate these corrupt officials.

My mind is full of the humiliation I have suffered in the past few years.

Li Shimin descended slowly from the execution stage, walked to the edge of the execution ground, looked at the people in Xuzhou, and let the drizzle stain his clothes.

"People of Xuzhou, I came late, and it's because of my negligence, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, that made you suffer for such a long time."

"I know that you are wronged, I know that you are suffering in your heart, and I know that you have a lot of resentment and have nowhere to vent it."

"Today, in front of you, I will behead these shameless, corrupt and perverted bastards!"

"Execution!"

As the voice fell, the beheading order in Li Shimin's hand was thrown into the air.

Under the rain, a famous executioner waved the ring knife in his hand.

The knife fell from the hand, and blood gushed like a spring.

Human heads rolled to the ground.

The people were still immersed in Li Shimin's words, and more than 200 corrupt officials were beheaded one after another at this moment.

There was a moment of silence, and there were appalling cheers outside the execution ground.

"Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is holy!"

……

The onlookers all raised their arms and cheered, their hearts were full of joy, and their hands and feet were dancing.

It has been countless days since they have not laughed out loud from the bottom of their hearts.

"Did you see, Lian'er? Did you see, third uncle? Your Majesty has done what he said. These dog officials have all been beheaded. Your spirits in heaven can rest in peace."

Liu San murmured as he looked at the execution ground where corpses lay everywhere and blood flowed like rivers.

Li Shimin beheaded so many officials so cleanly, calming down the anger of the people in Xuzhou.

At this moment, their respect for Li Shimin has reached its peak.

"People of Xuzhou!"

"I promise you that this is definitely the last suffering you will suffer. From now on, no Tang official will dare to invade your land, rob you of your money, bully and insult you."

"You always remember, I am your strong backing, I..."

the next few days.

More than 200 officials in Xuzhou, collectively questioned and beheaded, like a hurricane, swept away to the territory of Datang.

Officials everywhere are in danger.

The officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was briefly cleared up.

This also bought time for the preparation of Yushitai.

Two days later...

Officials from the DPRK and China arrived in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou city...

Fu Ya...

Chamber...

"My minister, see Your Majesty." Wu Yuchen walked forward and cupped his hands to Li Shimin who was sitting at the top.

"No courtesy." Li Shimin said with a flick of his sleeves, "Yuchen, Xuzhou City will be handed over to you next."

"Since Chengqian chose you as the governor of Xuzhou, I will fully support you."

"The first thing you have to solve is the issue of popular support."

Wu Yuchen responded, "I understand."

"Although His Majesty decisively executed more than 200 corrupt officials and resolved the public grievances in Xuzhou, all of this is temporary."

"If you can't take measures to convince the people as soon as possible, Xuzhou City will not only face the problem of people's hearts."

Li Shimin nodded, "I'm so relieved that you can understand this."

"Actually, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng have almost drawn up the general measures. You only need to follow the train of thought and add your own ideas to control the entire army of Xuzhou."

Wu Yuchen stepped forward, received the letter from Li Shimin, cupped his hands and said: "I will accept the decree, rest assured, Your Majesty, I will live up to the great trust of you and His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Shimin stood up, yawned, stretched his waist, and said quietly: "I'm tired and tired, I will leave Xuzhou to you, and I will return to Chang'an tomorrow."

"After something like this happened, there is no point in visiting Weifu privately."

"I'm not in the capital, and I don't know what Cheng Qian, the prince of Jian Guo, looks like."

Li Shimin muttered and left the meeting hall.

Wu Yuchen handed him off behind him, "Your Majesty, walk slowly, and I will send you off respectfully."

Chang'an City...

East Palace...
