Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 133 Clearing the clouds and revealing the sun

In the court, Ning Yao faced all the ministers and sternly denounced the numerous crimes of these corrupt officials: "You officials, as the backbone of the country, do not think about serving the country with all your heart. Instead, you use your power to embezzle, accept bribes, and commit fraud for personal gain, which seriously infringes on the interests of the country and the people. What you have done is intolerable to heaven!" Ning Yao's words were sonorous and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present, shocking everyone. Those corrupt officials hung their heads, full of shame. Ning Yao knew that it was far from enough to just punish these corrupt officials. She wanted to let officials throughout the empire understand that corruption must not be tolerated. So she decided to publicly execute several corrupt officials who were extremely evil, in order to deter the government and the public. On the day of the execution of corrupt officials, the whole capital was immersed in a solemn and solemn atmosphere. Ning Yao personally supervised the execution. She stood on the high platform and stared at the corrupt officials who were about to be executed with icy eyes. With an order, the executioners raised their knives and the heads of the corrupt officials rolled down instantly. The blood flowed and dyed the ground red, and everyone present deeply felt Ning Yao's firm determination and fearless courage. Ning Yao's move shocked the officials of the entire empire. They knew that Ning Yao was a person who should not be underestimated. From then on, they no longer dared to embezzle and corrupt easily, but worked diligently for the country and the people. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Ning Yao vigorously implemented a series of transparency policies. She not only increased the degree of openness of government affairs and widely accepted public opinion, but also encouraged the public to actively supervise and strive to create a new political style of clean and fair. She carefully set up a special reporting channel to ensure that the public can easily reflect various problems to the government. In addition, she also announced the details of the government's revenue and expenditure according to a fixed period, so that the public can know the operation of the government. With Ning Yao's unremitting efforts, the political atmosphere of the entire empire has been completely renewed. Officials no longer dared to take chances and engage in corruption, but worked diligently and conscientiously to contribute to the country and the people. The people were full of trust in the government and praised Ning Yao as a wise monarch. At the same time, Shen Yu also went all out for the stability of the empire in military affairs. He knew that the corrupt forces would not be willing to give up and would most likely try to launch a rebellion. In order to prevent trouble before it happens, Shen Yu strengthened the training and management of the army. He carefully selected a group of loyal and trustworthy generals and ordered them to lead the army to guard the border. At the same time, he further strengthened the defense of the capital to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Shen Yu always kept a close eye on those officials who surrendered on the surface but actually had ill intentions and were ready to move. He knew that these people were likely to betray the empire at a critical moment, causing immeasurable losses to the empire. Under Shen Yu's careful planning, the military strength of the entire empire was greatly enhanced. Seeing no opportunity to take advantage of, the corrupt forces had to temporarily restrain their arrogant behavior. Under a series of vigorous and tough measures, the atmosphere in the court finally improved temporarily. Those officials who used to be arrogant and arrogant have now become well-behaved and dare not make any rash moves. And those officials who have always been honest and upright have been given the opportunity to be entrusted with important tasks and gradually become the mainstay of the country. Ning Yao and Shen Yu worked together this time and seemed to have successfully resolved the corruption storm, thus gaining endless praise from the people. The names of the two of them have become legendary heroes in the mouths of the people, and have been passed on by word of mouth for a long time. However, just when everyone thought that everything had calmed down and the dust had settled, the mysterious helper appeared again. He sent Ning Yao a secret letter, which provided key clues about higher-level corruption. He hinted obscurely that the real huge threat has not been completely eliminated, and a more violent storm is about to sweep in. After reading the letter, Ning Yao's face instantly became extremely solemn. She knew very well that this anti-corruption war was far from over. Ning Yao and Shen Yu were in the quiet study room at night, the candlelight flickering, reflecting the solemn faces of the two. "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Ning Yao frowned and said with an extremely solemn expression. Shen Yu also frowned, his eyes full of worry, and asked: "Why did the mysterious helper help us? What is his purpose?" Ning Yao held her chin with her hand, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "He may be a man of justice, who really can't stand the corruption in the court, so he resolutely helped." "But it is also possible that he is a very ambitious person who wants to use us to achieve his own ulterior motives." Shen Yu analyzed calmly with a deep look in his eyes. Ning Yao nodded in agreement and said firmly, "No matter what his purpose is, we must not take it lightly. This anti-corruption battle is far more complicated than we initially imagined. The real fierce contest has just begun." Shen Yu took a deep breath and said seriously, "We must be careful and cautious and never let his conspiracy succeed." Ning Yao nodded heavily and said, "I will secretly send someone to investigate his identity carefully and find out who he is." Shen Yu also nodded and said, "Okay. I will also further strengthen my close surveillance of the court to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to stir up trouble and cause destruction." Ning Yao and Shen Yu had an in-depth discussion in the dead of night. They were deeply aware that this anti-corruption battle was far more complicated than they had imagined and the real contest had just begun.
