How could he not know that these ministers wanted to intercede?
That was not being kind.
He was just thinking about his future.
His Majesty might not know, but he knew who was corrupt and accepted bribes in the court.
Sir Yang’s words made the officials turn ashen.
“By relying on the Imperial court, it’s fine if you become an official and your chickens and dogs rise to the heavens. He might even be corrupt and take bribes. He was discovered when he turned his head, and then he was gone after his head was chopped off? How can it be so easy?”
“It’s always good for the world to be able to restrain the court officials.”
“Aiyo, this lowly subject was just speaking casually, please forgive me, Sirs.” Lord Xia waved his hand affectionately, and everyone’s faces twitched.
That was f * cking strange.
Had he been possessed by an evil spirit?
He actually dared to publicly say that the courtiers had accepted bribes?
Do you still want to live?
The problem was that when his father was still alive, he had relied on his father and his own honest and simple abilities to survive until now. After his father retired, he actually … Was he crazy?
In the past, he was a good man who didn’t offend anyone.
Lord Xia squinted his eyes. The new emperor had ascended to the throne, and he had to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. If he did not kill the governor and zhizhou, he would not be able to appease the anger of the people. Although it sounded terrifying to be able to sit for three generations, it was enough to intimidate some of the younger generation.
No one could change the emperor’s decision. He was just following the emperor’s words and hugging onto his thigh.
“Behead him. Those who plead for mercy shall be punished as well.” Lu huaijiang’s expression was indifferent, and none of the officials dared to make a sound.
The old officials silently extended their arms.
So many people had died in the flood, and no one could bear the responsibility. It would not be a pity even if the Jiang Prefecture magistrate died ten thousand times. No one dared to provoke the new emperor at this time.
When the news of the execution of the third generation spread, the entire city was shocked.
It caused the people to be a little frightened.
However, a few days later, when they heard that the flood in Jiangnan had killed and injured more than ten thousand people, the local people were stirred up and all rushed into the jiangzhou prefect’s office to fight, smash, and Rob. It was as if they had gone crazy.
After learning that the new emperor had killed three generations of Jiang Prefecture prefects, the people gradually calmed down.
Only then did there be no complaints between the court and the common people.
However, at this moment, the officials were all trembling in fear after seeing several officials being killed in the court.
The new emperor really didn’t look like the previous Emperor at all. The previous Emperor had a gentle temperament and had offended the new emperor several times at the border. However, the new emperor was a battle maniac who couldn’t be stopped.
It was the same in the Imperial court.
But in the end, he was less ruthless and murderous.
There was a moment of silence in the Imperial court. Just as eunuch Lu announced three times that he would submit a Memorial if he had something to do and leave the court if he had nothing to do, the atmosphere became warm again.
This time, it was the Ministry of revenue’s turn to allocate money.
Unfortunately, Lord Xia was in the Ministry of revenue.
The previous Minister of revenue, when he was allocating funds for the natural disaster last year, had been exploited layer by layer, and did not even have two taels of silver in the hands of the people. The Minister of revenue was directly removed from his post. Fortunately, the previous Emperor had not died. If he had fallen into the hands of the new emperor, he would have been crippled if not dead.
The new Minister of revenue did not dare to speak.
At this moment, all the officials were looking at him. The Minister of revenue secretly touched his neck and felt a cold chill.
The Minister of revenue’s eyes rolled around and he turned to look at Lord Xia.
She always felt that Lord Xia seemed to be shrouded in destiny, and today was particularly extraordinary.
She secretly poked Lord Xia.
The ministers sighed helplessly. Coward.
Xia Daren was an invisible official who often walked on the edge of the court, and he still dared to ask the Emperor for money? He was tired of living.
Lord Xia saw his boss looking at him with a kind face, and then saw his boss pointing to the person above.
The officials sneered. Lord Xia was an idiot.
Just wait for your head to fall!
