Everyone from top to bottom is in a state of panic.
Originally thought that Lu Shang was sent to Ji County to investigate the disaster situation, these people could avoid a catastrophe.
But unexpectedly, Lu Shangs investigation led to the uncovering of a shocking secret case.
Looking at Li Hai Ru who was tied up in front of the hall, they all wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads.
The Emperor Ling was enraged and ordered a thorough investigation, beheading all officials involved in this matter.
However, among officials, they have always been connected. The Dali dynasty was extravagant for dozens of years, and this killing spree wiped out about 80% of the officials of the Dali dynasty.
The six ministries of the imperial court, all officials below the rank of deputy minister were beheaded, and countless local officials were also killed.
The silver, money and grain embezzled by the officials must be recovered, but most of these stolen funds have flowed into the pockets of local rich merchants, so Emperor Ling ordered that all local tyrants involved in this matter be confiscated and all their property be seized.
Zuo Xiang had a ghost in his heart. Under the secret advice of Lu Shang, he took the initiative to ask for orders and was willing to take charge of the investigation and execution.
Lingdi looked at him deeply for a few moments, then nodded silently.
But what Premier Zuo never expected was that this incident would involve so many people and lead to widespread discontent among the population, with a clear tendency towards rebellion.
Lingdi, in order to placate public opinion, gave the Left Chancellor a charge of unjust conduct, and had him paraded through the streets before being beheaded.
At this time, Chu Miao had already married the Eighth Prince Ji Shu, so she was temporarily exempt from punishment and was only demoted to a side concubine.
Hou Lu Shang proposed a plan of "Yi Zhen" in order to stabilize the peoples hearts and conserve military strength.
Lingdi will distribute a portion of the gold and silver confiscated from corrupt officials and wealthy families to Ji County.
The people of Jixian have money in their hands, but the good fields are all burned, lacking grain, so merchants will sell grain at a lower price.
Those who are willing to sell grain at a low price in Ji County can choose the best twenty people to apply for the position of imperial merchant.
What is called Huang Shang was established by Emperor Ling to revive the business, after all, a countrys long-term stability and prosperity are inseparable from its commercial prosperity.
Lu Shang also became one of Emperor Lings most trusted officials through this.
Within a month, two loved ones were lost in succession.
Everything fell on Lingdi alone, and the workload increased day by day. Lingdi had to set up the Temple University Scholars and appointed Lu Shang as his chief assistant.
Lu Fu
Chu tea leisurely leaned on the railing, feeding the fish that were happily competing for food in the water.
She originally thought that Lu Shang would leave some evidence to let Ling Di know that Chu Yun Tian was also involved in the corruption, but unexpectedly he not only didnt do so, but instead helped Chu Yun Tian to cover up.
It can be seen that he has already figured out Lingdis mind very thoroughly.
This case was dragged out by him, and Lingdi will definitely choose to let him supervise the rest of the procedure, and then be sentenced to a crime of unfair handling.
Killing a minister who is too clever but unknown for his loyalty can preserve the foundation of Great Wisdom, which is Emperor Lings consistent style.
And he was left to clean up the mess for Zuo Xiang, doing a good job of covering up the corruption, and had already gained Chu Yun Tians complete trust.
At this time he secretly advised a few more sentences, and a timely substitute had been found...
Lu Shang stood in the distance, looking at her back with a gentle expression, but didnt go up to her.
The big sister has been increasingly cold to him since the last time in Qiu Zhou.
At first sight, although the big sister disliked him, she would also be willing to spend more words to tease him.
Now she doesnt say a word, just coldly showing a small face...
The fish food was fed, and the girl clapped her hands. She turned around and saw Lu Shang standing outside the pavilion.
Chu Cha gave him a glance that was neither cold nor indifferent before turning around and leaving, not saying another word, apparently intending to ignore him completely.
He watched as the girls figure gradually disappeared into the distance, her eyes cast downward, shrouding a dark and gloomy expression.
Is there also Chu Miao Miao and Ji Shu?
If they were dead, would the young lady smile?
"Master, all the tribes on the border have been gathered together." The man in black walked out of the darkness behind Lu Shang.
"Then lets get started."
......
Three victories in January.
In just two months, several small cities on the border of Da Rui were breached.
Then, with a speed like wind and lightning, they successively captured more than ten states and counties, and the Hu cavalry rushed straight to the capital.
Ling Emperors rage was at its peak when his body condition worsened. Later, during a meeting, he suddenly coughed up blood and passed away.
The eighth prince Ji Shu took over the throne in a crisis and inherited the imperial position. Chu Miao Miao, the daughter of the guilty minister, also rose to become the Imperial Noble Consort.
But he was a new emperor after all, and could hardly restrain his subordinates, those ministers who were already terrified, and could only watch as they either secretly or openly defected to the Hu army.
He pursed his lips and looked at Lu Shang, who still had a calm and composed expression, "You are the emperors most trusted minister, you wont betray me, will you?"
Lu Shang wore a deep purple court attire, with a golden official hat on his head, and his slender fingers grasped the tablet. He spoke in a calm tone: "Serving His Majesty is my duty."
