Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, staring at the court officials with a grim expression.

Li Si has made up his mind to thoroughly investigate the matter of buying and selling officials.

Any official who takes office through the path of buying an official, no matter what the reason, will never be lenient! Li Si had held the imperial examinations before, and knew that those students had been studying hard for more than ten years in order to gain fame and enter the official career in the imperial examinations.

But now, Li Si found out that someone had avoided these processes through other means. How could Li Si not be angry?

For more than ten years, other scholars have spent a lot of time and energy in understanding national affairs and learning the deeds of famous officials in history. If such a person is an official, not to mention that he can govern one side, at least the number of mistakes will be much less. But what about those who took office by buying an official?

Maybe they had never even touched a book before.

Let these people become officials and govern the country. Can this country govern well?

The country's governance is not good, and people's grievances are together. In the end, it is not Li Si, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who suffers losses?

Before Li Si, he vaguely knew about buying and selling officials. But Li Si never imagined that this matter would be so involved, that the dignified eldest princess of the Tang Empire was actually the mastermind behind it.

Li Si had seen the memorial presented by Cao Zhengchun.

Over the years, the officials who have passed through the hands of Princess Anyang are simply shocking.

Moreover, what Cao Zhengchun presented was only part of it.

There are more, and Cao Zhengchun couldn't find out just by one night.

Li Si looked at the court officials, and slowly said, "Are there any officials who have passed through Anyang to take office in this court..."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, several of the civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground stood up trembling all over.

Princess Anyang generally does not sell official positions above the fifth rank.

The officials who stood up in the courtroom all bought a sixth- and seventh-rank official position from Princess Anyang, and then rose step by step.

At this time, in the face of the emperor's anger, even if these people have the courage, they dare not continue to hide.

Li Si looked at these officials who took the initiative to stand up and said: "Since you dare to admit it, it is a bit of a responsibility, and I will not punish you severely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

These officials breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from the Taiji Temple.

At this moment, Li Si sighed and said, "Aiqings, get up."

In any case, it is hateful to sell officials, but the vast majority of these courtiers are still promoted through formal channels.

"According to the order."

When Manchao Wenwu got up, they saw that His Majesty's anger subsided a little, and a panicked heart finally calmed down a little.

Li Siwei leaned on the throne of the dragon chair: "Aiqings, what do you want to play?"

Li Si's voice just fell, and the court officials woke up like a dream.

They have only reacted until now, and they are now in the early morning.

The emperor's anger left them with only fear in their hearts.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The Minister of Hu stood out and cupped his hands: "When King Liang came back from the Hexi grassland, he brought back a large number of grassland war horses. I urge you to start breeding immediately, so that these war horses will leave blood in our Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Si nodded slightly.

In terms of speed and endurance, the grassland war horses are far superior to the war horses in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.

If Datang can cultivate war horses at the level of the grasslands, Datang will definitely be able to build an invincible cavalry.

"I'm ready!"

Li Si nodded.

...

...

Ending early.

Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity.

After a moment.

Cao Zhengchun asked to see him outside the hall.

"Xuan."

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Longevity and said respectfully, "Report to Your Majesty, the inspection of the residence of Princess Anyang has been completed..."

Li Si raised his head and looked at Cao Zhengchun: "My sister, how much money have you saved over the years?"

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old slaves are all in the palace of the eldest princess,

10,000,000 taels of silver were confiscated, in addition to all kinds of gold and jade wares, land deeds..."

When Li Si heard the words, he sneered again and again.

An eldest princess in the district, she actually has so much money in her house.

This must be how many officials have been sold to save the money.

"It's all confiscated."

Li Si waved his hand and said.

Today, there are only three million taels of silver in the treasury.

If the silver from the eldest princess' mansion is sent to the treasury, it will surely alleviate the worry of the vacancy in the treasury.

With so much money, unless Li Si starts a battle again in a short time, it should be enough for a while.

"According to the order."

Cao Zhengchun led the order to leave the Hall of Longevity and go to the House of Ministers of the Ministry of Housing.

The minister of households was in charge of the Datang treasury.

If you want to confiscate the eldest princess's family property, you have to go through the Ministry of Housing.

"Master Shang Shu."

Cao Zhengchun squeezed out a smile.

The Minister of the Ministry was slightly surprised when he saw Cao Zhengchun.

Now, above the court, which courtier is not afraid of and hated by Cao Zhengchun?

"Lord Shangshu, Your Majesty has a decree to confiscate the eldest princess' property. You can go to the eldest princess' mansion with the miscellaneous family."

Cao Zhengchun is official.

"Confiscation?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce's eyes suddenly lit up.

In recent years, he has been worrying about the treasury.

But the Minister of the Household did not expect that this matter would come to an end so quickly.

Next.

When the Minister of the Household learned from Cao Zhengchun's mouth that the number of silver taels in the residence of Princess Anyang was even more delighted...

...

Outside Chang'an City.

Yuan Zai brought more than 100 guards from Dongchang to the bottom of a hill.

"According to the map, it should be here."

Won Jae fell into memory and finally affirmed.

When Yuan Zai was the prime minister, someone gave him a gift, and among them, there was a piece of fur from an unknown animal.

Won Jae didn't care too much either.

But one day, Won-jae used the fur to wipe the wine sprinkled on the table.

But as a result, as soon as the piece of fur touched the wine, some patterns began to appear on the fur.

Yuan Zai studied for a long time and determined that the pattern is a map.

Moreover, this map is a treasure of the previous dynasty...

After learning this, Won Jae wrote down the map and burned the whole piece of fur.

Later, Yuan Zai read a lot of classics and estimated that this treasure was worth at least thousands of taels, or even more.

This secret has always been kept in Won Jae's heart.

At that time, Yuan Zai was an extremely noble official, and he was not short of money, so he was too lazy to dig this treasure of the former dynasty.

However, Yuan Zai did not expect that this treasure of the former dynasty would become his last straw.

"start."

"Just start digging from here!"

Under Yuan Zai's order, the guards of the East Factory began to act.

The excavation went well.

Yuan Zai picked up the shovel himself and kept digging.

Sudden.

Just at this time.

Bang.

Yuan Zai's shovel seemed to hit some kind of hard object.

Yuan Zai was stunned for a moment and looked down. "This is!?"

Yuan Zai's pupils shrank!
