My subjects are too rebellious!

Outside Taihe Gate, Gao Qiu looked at Yan Song, as if he was expecting something.

But Yan Song kept his head down, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Left Prime Minister, you can't just stand by and watch someone die."

Yuan Zai ignored all that and ran to Yan Song to beg him.

Yan Song glanced at him coldly, and the voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You can forgive the sins committed by God, but you can't live if you do the sins yourself."

"I have advised you more than once to stop when it is enough!"

"But have you ever listened to my advice?"

Yuan Zai immediately looked bitter and said nothing.

Since he learned yesterday that Gao Yanei was imprisoned by His Majesty, he has never felt at ease.

Because he knew that once he fell into Yu Huatian's hands, no matter how tough he was, he would not reveal any evidence.

What’s more, that was Gao Yanei!

Gao Yanei has never suffered any hardship since childhood.

At this moment, Yuan Zai burst out with an unprecedented desire to survive and begged Yan Song.

"Prime Minister Yan, Lord Yan! Please, for the sake of us all working for the Queen Mother, save us."

Yan Song looked up at the sky; the dark sky seemed like a big hand.

The pressure was so great that he couldn't breathe.

"Master Yuan, please retain the last bit of your dignity."

"The Great Wu Dynasty is about to start a storm."

After saying this, Yan Song ignored him and waited quietly for the Taihe Gate to open.

Seeing that there was no hope for Yan Song, Yuan Zai could only look at Gao Qiu behind him for help.

But Gao Qiu had a determined look on his face, as if he had already accepted his fate.

Helplessly, he looked at Qin Hui again.

Qin Hui seemed to sense something and turned around to glance at Yuan Zai.

Yuan Zai thought there was hope for his life, but unexpectedly Qin Hui started laughing.

That smile was particularly strange.

Just when Yuan Zai was in despair, Taihe Gate slowly opened.

A group of ministers immediately lined up and walked inside.

Passing through the long imperial road, palace guards wearing black armor stood neatly on both sides of the road.

Yuan Zai could feel that there was murderous intent in the eyes of the Black Armor Army today.

Suddenly, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Yuan Zai seemed to have accepted his fate. He walked silently to his seat and waited for the morning court to begin.

After all the civil and military officials had taken their positions, Zhang Rang stepped out and sang loudly.

"Announce, all officials to enter the court!"

All officials entered one by one, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and lined up in the square.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves you."

Qin Chuan waved his hand, his eyes focused on Yan Song and his party.

Zhang Rang then came out and sang: "If you have a request, you should go out to play in the morning. If you don't have a request, you should draw the curtain and leave the court!"

Gao Qiu hurriedly stepped out of the class and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Yuan Zai looked at Gao Qiu leaving the class, and the hope that had been extinguished was rekindled.

"allow."

Seeing the murderous intent in Qin Chuan's eyes, Gao Qiu said without flinching.

"Your Majesty, my son was murdered by a villain yesterday. He was guilty of molesting a common woman. Please punish him."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled.

"Oh, the traitor you are talking about is Wu Qi?"

"Your Majesty, that's right."

"Then tell me how Wu Qi framed Gao Yanei."

Seeing that the emperor gave him a chance to explain, Gao Qiu thought he could get away with it, so he acted more sincerely.

"Your Majesty, the son of this old minister is a man of both talent and virtue, upright and honest, and consistent in his words and deeds."

"How could I be deceived by a villain and commit a serious mistake? Your Majesty, please punish me."

"It all started when Wu Qi, who was beside me, told my son that Qing'er, the maid from Yaoyue Inn, was sold by him."

"And he said there was a contract to sell her, so my son did something illegal to that maid."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"

When Qin Chuan heard Gao Qiu's praise for his son, he really smiled, and it was a very bright smile.

Gao Qiu looked at His Majesty's smile and thought his son was saved.

But Yan Song smelled an extremely dangerous smell.

"Well, General Gao, why don't you listen to the results of my investigation?"

As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Yu Huatian came out of the class and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, Gao Yanei has confessed everything."

"Tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, it is like this. Gao Yanei relies on his father being the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty to be arrogant and domineering among the people."

"It is common for them to oppress the common people, bully the villagers and rob women."

"and..."

"And what? Don't hesitate."

Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yu Huatian's hesitant look.

"Your Majesty, according to Gao Yanei, his father, Gao Qiu, relied on his position as the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty to manage the military affairs of the entire country and control the military power."

"Therefore, a lot of blank documents were issued, with a stamp on them in advance, and then filled in with specific content when needed."

"And this document was handed over to officials from various places. Gao Qiu deceived his superiors and subordinates. In order to gain benefits, he allowed his officials to deliver grain to the Ministry of Revenue."

"Take the report with the seal on it and no content and settle it with the Ministry of Revenue."

"In this way, the Ministry of Revenue will not know how much grain they have collected locally and how much grain has been lost during the transportation process."

"Local officials took advantage of this loophole and embezzled the taxes that the people paid to the state."

"Then they would use this batch of grain to exchange for salt permits, transport salt back from the capital and sell it to the people at a high price. Over time, these corrupt officials made a fortune."

When Qin Chuan heard this, he became murderous!

Yuan Zai, who had been listening carefully, collapsed to the ground.

"Yu Huatian! Tell me, did the Minister of Revenue Yuan Zai participate in this matter?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Yuan played a key role in this."

"As the Minister of Revenue, Lord Yuan coerced and bribed everyone in the Ministry of Revenue to pretend they didn't know about this matter, and tacitly approved of the officials from all over the country embezzling the government's taxes."

"And in return, after the local officials have processed the silver, they will deliver it to Mr. Yuan."

Qin Chuan was so angry that he laughed, pointed at Yuan Zai and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

When Yuan Zai saw His Majesty's appearance, he was frightened to death.

He wanted to get up and run away, but when he saw the Black Armor Army standing next to him, his calves went weak.

Gao Qiu also collapsed to the ground, he knew he had been defeated.

And they failed miserably.

"Yuhuatian!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I order you to thoroughly investigate Yuan Zai's corruption case and investigate and prosecute all officials involved!"

"No matter what rank he holds, once we find solid evidence, we can kill him on the spot!"

"This matter is settled now. If anyone dares to plead for them, don't blame me for being rude!"

Glancing at the ministers, Qin Chuan shouted angrily.

"You all remember this, this is my world, and you are all my subjects."

"Eating the emperor's salary is the only way to be loyal to the emperor."

"To eat their salary and kill their master is disloyalty, to live on their land and give them up is unrighteousness."

"Don't lose the integrity of a scholar-official, and don't let me look down on you!"

"Finally, I want to warn you again. From now on, the Jinyiwei will be established."

"If you don't know what the Jinyiwei does, haha."

"Yu Huatian, tell them."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back and his back to the officials.

Yu Huatian took a few steps forward, stood on the imperial steps and said loudly: "Execute first and report later. This is a special permission granted by the emperor!"

"Monitor all officials and collect internal and external intelligence!"

After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the civil and military officials in the court. At this moment, Yu Huatian felt extremely satisfied.

He really enjoyed this feeling, this feeling of being at the pinnacle of power!

Isn't this what he is pursuing!

And he understood that all this was given by the person on the platform.

Qin Chuan turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, a murderous look between his brows.

At this moment, all the officials felt as if they were being stared at by a tiger.

At this moment, the reputation of the Jinyiwei skyrocketed!

On the other hand, Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, seemed somewhat dejected.

Qin Chuan felt very bored seeing all the officials were silent and looked terrified.

"Retreat!"

"Long live your majesty!"

And as Qin Chuan left, Yu Huatian was no longer depressed.

"Get them for me!"

At the command, the Black Armor Army stepped forward and captured Yuan Zai and Gao Qiu.

And naturally, no official involved in corruption, from top to bottom, will be able to escape.

After the Xuanjia Army escorted Yuan Zai and Gao Qiu to Taihe Gate, they handed them over to the Jinyiwei.

Then he continued his patrol.
