I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

This is the recipe I saw in Minghui’s Random Pill Recipes.

After testing many Penicillium strains, Minghui finally found one that was so stable.

These green powders are produced by cultivating Penicillium and extracting mycotoxins from it.

"I just forgot to ask His Majesty to give me a name."

"Never mind, since it is a fungus extracted from Penicillium, let's call it penicillin."

This "pill" is extremely powerful.

Even festering sores that are oozing pus can be cured with some penicillin.

It’s simply a miracle drug!

Terrible diseases such as typhoid and dysentery can also be treated with penicillin.

Amazing!

"With His Majesty's 50,000 taels of gold, we can mass-produce penicillin."

Minghui murmured.

She didn't know yet how great this discovery was.

But at this time, Li Tian no longer had the energy to devote to the alchemy room.

The lawsuit between the former Prime Minister Gao Yao and the new Huajiang prefect Lu Weibin has been brought to the imperial court.

Because the matter was related to the former Prime Minister, Tang Xiaoren did not dare to act arbitrarily and simply handed all the memorials to Li Tian.

Seeing so many memorials attacking Lu Weibin, Li Tian was overjoyed!

Good job, Lu Weibin, I was right about you!

He is worthy of being the cruel official I have high hopes for!

Seeing the mountain of memorials, Li Tian’s heart was filled with joy of a good harvest!

I knew I wasn't mistaken!

This Lu Weibin is just a useless keyboard warrior!

A cruel official who offended everyone as soon as he took office!

Li Tian walked happily to the screen and added Lu Weibin's name.

Xiao Weizi, who had been serving beside him, was shocked.

Your Majesty hasn't added your name on the screen for a long time!

All the names on this screen have risen to high positions without exception!

This is the sign of winning the emperor’s favor!

It seems that this new top scholar is highly valued by His Majesty!

Xiao Weizi took note of it silently.

My method is indeed good, the imperial examination can indeed select out treacherous and corrupt officials!

Not bad!

Li Tian put down his pen with satisfaction, and then began to think about how to respond.

If it were an ordinary emperor, he would definitely dispatch an imperial censor to Huajiang Prefecture to investigate.

The impeachment of the local governor by the former prime minister was no longer a simple case.

Moreover, a minor silk reeling rebellion broke out in Huajiang Prefecture.

Currently, basically everyone in the court supports Gao Yao.

Although most of Gao Yao's forces had already disappeared.

But Gao Yao was, after all, the former chief minister of the cabinet and an assistant minister to the late emperor.

There is always some affinity between me and the emperor.

Now both sides have their own opinions, and Gao Yao's words are obviously more credible.

Moreover, news came from Yuhang that Lu Weibin had a very bad reputation as an official, while Gao Yao had a very good reputation.

Li Tian tapped the dragon table with his hand and asked:

"Xiao Weizi, what is Lu Weibin's reputation in Huajiang Prefecture?"

Little Weizi's heart skipped a beat.

Your Majesty, this is a test for the Western Factory!

However, Xiao Weizi had already established intelligence stations in various places in the Great Zhou.

Lu Weibin, who was promoted across levels this time, was originally a target of surveillance by the Western Factory.

Little Weizi said, "Your Majesty, among the scholars in Huajiang Prefecture, Master Lu Weibin does not have a very good reputation."

"The scholars in Huajiang all say that he..."

Xiao Weizi hesitated.

From what we have seen just now, it is clear that Lu Weibin has caught the eye of His Majesty.

If we say something bad about Lu Weibin at this time, wouldn't that be a slap in the emperor's face?

Li Tian said, "Speak!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Weizi immediately corrected his attitude.

As the head of the Western Factory, the most important thing for Xiao Weizi is to be loyal to His Majesty.

If I don't dare to report the truth, I will truly lose the favor of His Majesty.

Little Weizi immediately said truthfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu has a bad reputation. The scholars in Huajiang Prefecture have written poems to scold him."

Li Tian was delighted, great!

You are worthy of being the treacherous minister I have chosen!

However, Li Tian was still worried and continued to ask:

"What bad deeds did Lu Weibin have?"

Little Weizi immediately replied: "The scholars all said that Lord Lu set up checkpoints to collect taxes and exploit the people, causing the people of Huajiang Prefecture to be angry and resentful."

OK!

As expected, Lu Weibin volunteered to be the local official just to make money!

Good guy!

The whole Huajiang Prefecture scolded him, this is too good!

Li Tian wished he could promote Lu Weibin immediately.

and many more.

After being stabbed in the back twice, Li Tian became more cautious.

He asked, "Master Gao Yaogao, what is your reputation in Huajiang Prefecture?"

Little Weizi said respectfully: "The whole Huajiang Prefecture says that Mr. Gao is kind and generous, and he is a great philanthropist in Huajiang Prefecture!"

Little Weizi added: "Mr. Gao supports poor scholars in Huajiang Prefecture and often organizes banquets. He has an excellent reputation in Yuhang."

Now Li Tian finally felt relieved.

One is Lu Weibin, who just passed the imperial examination and has no fame or experience, but starts to make a lot of trouble right after taking office.

One is Gao Yao, the former prime minister who retired and returned to his hometown and has an excellent reputation throughout Yuhang.

Isn't it obvious who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?

Then isn't it obvious who I want to support?

I am a tyrant!

Of course we must support the treacherous ministers!

Li Tian immediately said: "Little Weizi, draft the decree!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I will dictate it and let the scholars of the Hanlin Academy draft the imperial edict later!"

Li Tian paced back and forth and said:

"Huajiang prefect Lu Weibin is the prefect I appointed!"

"As the old saying goes, don't doubt a person when you employ him, and don't employ a person you don't trust! I believe in Lord Lu's character!"

"I have already delegated the matter of Huajiang Prefecture to Lord Lu to handle."

"I support Lord Lu!"

Little Weizi was so frightened that he almost dropped the brush in his hand.

Your Majesty, are you falling out with me?

When faced with a situation where both sides have their reasons, Your Majesty usually tries to smooth things over.

I won't express my stance right away. If the situation turns around, it will damage your majesty's dignity.

But this time, Li Tian stood so clearly on Lu Weibin's side.

What does this mean?

This shows that Lord Lu’s favor from the emperor is too great!

Your Majesty did not even investigate and directly sided with Lu Weibin!

In order to support Lu Weibin, he even stepped on Gao Yao!

With such royal favor, Lord Lu will probably be transferred back to Kyoto soon.

The scholars of the Hanlin Academy were also shocked when they received the imperial edict.

After receiving the reply from His Majesty, the scholar of the Hanlin Academy immediately wrote a formal edict.

Then it was sent to the cabinet and then to Huajiang Prefecture.

[Biased listening to one side and protecting private ministers, the Great Zhou’s national fortune: -2000 points! ]

[Because the host has the title of benevolent monarch, the national fortune has doubled, the national fortune of the Great Zhou: -4000 points! ]

[Meanwhile, he is ungrateful and disrespectful to his old ministers. The Great Zhou’s national fortune: -2000 points! ]

【Cumulative reduction -6000 points! 】

Pretty!

Lu Weibin, I was right about you!

6000 national fortune points were lost in one go!

No!

We have to support Lu Weibin even more!

He'd better turn Huajiang Prefecture upside down!

Li Tian said to Xiao Weizi again:

"and many more."

"Bring me my jade sword!"

This sword can be said to be able to cut through iron like mud. It is also a top-quality treasure in the royal arsenal.

"Give my sword to Lu Weibin!"

"Holding my jade sword, I have the power to execute first and report later, as if I were here in person!"
