Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

These people from the Citian Kingdom and the Penglai Kingdom have a good relationship with the current Daqian.

Especially after hearing that Qin Ming had won the throne, he even arranged a large fleet to come with gifts.

Qin Ming arranged for Ye Shoujiang to go there, not only to learn about the news of the Yan Dynasty, but also to bring some supplies to the Nanyang countries.

After all, compared to Daqian, the Nanyang countries are the closest to the Yan Dynasty.

"I will arrange for someone to notify General Ye now."

Liu Yueli carefully wrote down every arrangement made by Qin Ming, but did not leave immediately.

Because she knew that Qin Ming called her here today because there was an important matter that needed to be dealt with.

Finally, the two of them turned their attention to the files on the table.

"Can you take what's written here seriously?"

Qin Ming asked Liu Yueli quite seriously.

"Absolutely true, Your Majesty."

"The secret guard promises to take full responsibility for this investigation."

Liu Yueli nodded seriously.

After receiving the other party's firm answer, Qin Ming's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have eliminated these cancers directly and not given them the opportunity."

"Your Majesty, how about..."

Liu Yueli quickly took over and asked tentatively.

Qin Ming waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it myself."

The file in front of Qin Ming was the investigation report sent by the secret guard.

Previously, Qin Ming brought some old ministers of the previous dynasty who were willing to repent and accept the performance evaluation system into the court.

Based on their performance, decide whether to allow them to continue working in the court.

In order to intimidate them, Qin Ming even asked Liu Yueli to kill all the old stubborn people who were unwilling to accept the performance evaluation system.

It was also a warning to the old ministers, so that they could stay calm for a while.

Unfortunately, there is a saying that goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature.

Before the end of this month, the group of old ministers who entered the court started causing trouble again!

Because he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the pressure of the performance evaluation law and would be forced to give up his official hat.

They are blinded by greed and make stupid moves again!

Some people bribed the officials in charge of the assessment in the Ministry of Personnel, some used their connections to transfer other people's achievements to their own, and some even harmed other officials just to have someone to take the blame for them so that they would not be ranked last after the assessment.

"It's just a monster!"

Qin Ming's eyelids kept twitching.

If this report only contained this little bit of information, it would still be within his acceptable range.

But this group of people actually infiltrated some officials they brought from the Southern Dynasty!

Some people really took money and helped change the records of the performance appraisal system. Some people even took money to attribute their own political achievements to these old officials of the previous dynasty!

The next morning, all officials went to court.

As an extremely diligent emperor, Qin Ming arrived at the Golden Palace just as all the officials took their seats.

"Long live our emperor..."

The ministers below kowtowed and just took one step according to the procedure, Qin Ming waved his hand and said:

"Let the meeting begin!"

The ministers who were in the process of paying their respects were suddenly filled with surprise.

Many people quickly looked up and glanced at Qin Ming.

After noticing Qin Ming's angry face, he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong and started to think about what had happened.

"The Ministry of Personnel submitted the recent performance appraisal report a little late."

Qin Ming first set his sights on several officials in the Ministry of Personnel who were in charge of the assessment.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Several officials quickly knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes.

"reason."

Qin Ming looked at them coldly and questioned them.

"There were quite a lot of officials to assess, so it took us quite a while to sort it out, which caused some delay..."

"to be honest."

Qin Ming suddenly interrupted their explanation.

The invisible pressure was like a tide, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

Several people from the Ministry of Personnel looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

boom!

Qin Ming suddenly slammed the table and roared:

"Changbai Mountain!"

"The general is here!"

Chang Baishan walked straight into the hall.

"Drag out Chen Zhong, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and chop him into pieces!"

"Yes!"

The sudden order stunned everyone present.

Chen Zhong was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, and he shouted hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What crime have I committed?"

This is also a question that many people want to ask.

Up to now, Chen Zhong and those old ministers of the previous dynasty felt that they had done a perfect job.

But within the capital, how could Qin Ming's secret guards not know about the dirty deeds they were committing in private?

"Asshole, whose test scores did you change? Do I need to read them out one by one?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present took a deep breath.

Even Chen Shimao looked at Chen Zhong with deep sorrow.

"Chen Zhong, why are you...!"

Chen Zhong was an official selected from Huxi. He grew up in a poor family, but he studied hard for many years.

There has never been any mistake in the various affairs he has presided over in the past few years.

He is cautious and meticulous in his work, and his abilities are beyond reproach.

After Qin Ming came to Beijing, he was promoted to the position of director of the Ministry of Personnel, and was asked to cross-examine the results of the examination system with several other officials of the Ministry of Personnel.

However, he did not expect that he accepted bribes from three old officials, and abused his power in his capacity as the head of the Ministry of Personnel to help change someone's evaluation!

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"You conquered the world, and even though I have no credit, I have worked hard. Please spare my life!"

Chen Zhong quickly begged for mercy, broke free from the guards, and kowtowed repeatedly in the Golden Palace.

After a few hits, his forehead was covered in blood...

"You're afraid now, but why weren't you afraid when you were collecting money?"

“Take him out!”

Qin Ming would not give such a person any chance.

If I let him go, I would be doing a disservice to all my hard work over the years.

Since the establishment of the imperial court, he has never encountered corruption among his own people.

Liu Yueli's report really opened his eyes!

The howling suddenly changed tone after being dragged out of the hall.

A voice full of resentment came.

"Qin Ming, you entered the capital and forgot about us, the ministers who fought with you to conquer the world?! I just took some money!"

"I've been poor since I was a kid. I've been with you for so many years, but I haven't enjoyed any benefits. How about some money..."

Swish!

Soon, the shouts were cut off.

There was silence.

Inside the Golden Palace, everyone's face looked grim, and they hurriedly observed Qin Ming's expression.

Fortunately, Qin Ming was not angry about this accusation.

He glanced around the entire audience and said:

"Everyone present, if you share the same grudge against him, you may leave now. I will not try to stop you, nor will I retaliate."

No one left the scene.

"very good."

Qin Ming nodded slowly.

"Please remember, any official who dares to disrupt government affairs or is corrupt will suffer the same fate as him!"

Chang Baishan had returned. After shaking off the blood on his long sword, he pulled out three trembling old ministers from the crowd.

The three of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their lips trembled and they couldn't speak.

Qin Ming waved to Chang Baishan, and several guards immediately dragged them out.

Just when everyone thought the storm was about to pass.

Qin Ming continued:

"They've finished dealing with it. Next, let's settle another account."
