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

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!

Li Tian immediately said: "Then the Prime Minister will defend himself."

"However, after the Prime Minister has finished his defense, please ask the officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice to investigate and verify! Inform all the ministers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tang Xiaoren raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Tian was also anxious.

Father-in-law, I asked you to defend yourself, not to surrender yourself!

Since you turned yourself in and confessed your guilt, how can I still protect you?

Tang Xiaoren continued, "I have committed the crime of arbitrariness!"

Only then did Li Tian breathe a sigh of relief.

It turns out that he was not admitting the crime of corruption.

Li Tian quickly said: "The Prime Minister originally had the power to assist in government affairs, the Prime Minister is not guilty!"

Tang Xiaoren continued, "The twelve thousand sets of military equipment that Censor Sun mentioned are just scrapped military equipment in the warehouse. The Minister of Industry can attest to this!"

Next, Tang Xiaoren gave a detailed account of how Zhang Yingchai approached him to discuss the re-melting of this batch of ordnance.

The Minister of Works also spoke out to prove that this batch of military equipment had long been scrapped and was just added to fill in the numbers in the account books and could not be used at all.

Now Li Tian was stunned. Is this really not a case of corruption?

After the Minister of Works took out the account books and records and confirmed that the batch of military equipment was indeed old and unusable, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Tang Xiaoren.

The Prime Minister is truly a loyal minister of the country!

Tang Xiaoren continued, "I have committed the crime of arbitrariness. It is also my fault that I allowed the armory to take 2,000 sets of military equipment and melt them into farm tools and ironware for sale!"

Li Tian was confused.

Tang Xiaoren and Zhang Yuchai were not corrupt, but were recycling waste?

At this moment, the system prompt sounded.

[The Prime Minister Tang Xiaoren and the Armory Inspector Zhang Yuchai, smelt the scrap weapons, and the Armory has 8000 more weapons! ]

[Great Zhou National Fortune: +3000 points! ]

【Prestige +30! 】

The system has completed the settlement, and it seems to be correct.

Li Tian was about to cry!

I've been busy this month, but only lost 3000 national fortune points!

In this way, it's back again!

Just do it for free!

System, the way you settle is wrong!

Li Tian was very angry!

Father-in-law, oh father-in-law, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, the only prime minister!

Why don’t you commit crimes quickly instead of making the country rich and the people strong?

The more Li Tian thought about it, the angrier he got. And there was also Zhang Chai!

Do you deserve this name?

Zhang Hechai, Zhang Feichai, you are not a waste?

I asked you to go to the armory, not to recycle waste!

I am so disappointed!

Although Li Tian was extremely angry, he couldn't say these words.

Seeing his ugly expression, all the ministers in the meeting in front of the hall knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is loyal to the emperor and the country. Please forgive him!"

What to do?

My father-in-law, should I punish him?

Besides, the queen is pregnant, so she can't be angry at this time.

Li Tian could only force a forced smile and said, "Of course, Prime Minister, please stand up, and all the ministers, please stand up!"

Li Tian's heart was bleeding.

A month's work was wasted.

I thought it was a major corruption case, but it turned out to be a good thing!

At this time, the Minister of Justice stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, should the Ministry of Justice issue a notice to inform the various ministries of the results of the investigation?"

Li Tian could only nod: "Okay."

At this time, the Minister of War also stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, where should these 8,000 sets of refurbished military equipment be allocated?"

"The Eastern Liao generals on the front line have submitted petitions several times, requesting the court to replace their weapons and armor."

All the ministers pricked up their ears.

These eight thousand sets are considered to be additional military equipment. The situation in Liaodong is tense now, and the Liaodong general has been requesting equipment from time to time.

Unexpectedly, just after refurbishing 8,000 sets of equipment, the Minister of War set his eyes on them.

[The national affairs system is starting! 】

[Option 10: Follow the advice and assign Dong Liao. Military morale +10, prestige +1000, national fortune + points! ]

[Option 2: To be determined.]

Is it even necessary to think about it?

Of course Li Tian wouldn’t agree!

He immediately said: "No, don't give it to Dong Liao."

The ministers looked at Li Tian.

Li Tian held it in for a long time and said, "I have other plans for this batch of equipment!"

Fortunately, fortunately, if I had chosen one, wouldn’t it have increased another 1000 national fortune points?

That won't work!

I'm tired, I'm tired, I want to give up.

The corruption case that was thought to ruin a huge fortune of the country turned out to be a good thing, and it also resulted in an extra 8,000 sets of hot equipment.

Li Tian rubbed his brows and said, "I'm tired, let's adjourn."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Tian returned to the queen's bedroom with a tired look on his face.

Tang Hanxue came forward immediately.

Seeing that Li Tian looked unhappy, Tang Hanxue also turned pale.

Was his father convicted?

Dad, Dad, why are you so confused!

Tang Hanxue asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, why do you look so bad?"

"Xue'er, your father is innocent."

Looking at the pregnant queen, Li Tian couldn't get angry.

I had no choice but to tell Tang Hanxue about the process of the meeting in front of the palace.

After hearing this, Tang Hanxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My father is indeed not that kind of person!

Seeing Li Tian's grim expression, Tang Hanxue asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you worried about something?"

What's on your mind?

Is it a big deal to waste a month?

But you can’t tell this to the Queen!

Li Tian felt even more annoyed.

He had no choice but to make up an excuse and said, "It's just that group of imperial censors and civil servants gossiping and framing the ministers for no reason!"

Tang Hanxue immediately understood what Li Tian meant.

She asked tentatively: "How about banishing these guys from Kyoto?"

Li Tian thought about it.

Tang Xiaoren is my father-in-law and cannot be touched!

Zhang Chai was a relative of the Empress Dowager, so it was difficult to punish him since he had made great contributions.

Since the culprit who caused the rise of their country's fortunes cannot be dealt with, then the person who uncovered this case should be severely punished!

Li Tian showed a resentful look and said in a deep voice: "Demote! Demote all of you out of Kyoto!"

The queen nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips.

The next day, Censor Sun, who had been kneeling in front of the emperor to make remonstrances, received the investigation results from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice.

This is not a corruption case!

Censor Sun trembled all over.

What will be the consequences of falsely accusing the Prime Minister?

Not only Censor Sun, but all the officials who wrote the petition with him were trembling with fear.

And the punishment for them was swift.

As soon as the Censorate arrived at the yamen, Xiao Weizi came to read the imperial edict.

All the censors were exiled to Lingnan!

The worst-off was Censor Sun, who was directly exiled to Qianzhou Island to be the magistrate!

So miserable!

Qianzhou Island is the southernmost place of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The place is filled with miasma and man-eating insects.

Being an official there is a risk of death.

But Censor Sun still had to kneel down and express his gratitude for the emperor’s grace!

At Tang Hanxue's suggestion, Li Tian punished all the officials who submitted reports with thundering force.

All of them were exiled to remote areas.

After this operation, there was no more noise in the court.

The Palace of the Six Sages.

This time the Sixth Wise King was really ill.

Censor Sun's attempt to remonstrate with the emperor at the palace failed, and all the hidden plots laid by the Six Wise Kings over the years were exposed.

The emperor also used lightning speed to immediately clear these people out of the capital!

How gloomy!

At this time, the Sixth Wise King's son, Prince of Boyang Li Guangmao, was feeding his father medicine.
