Chapter 157: Receive the Emperor's Sword and Thoroughly Investigate the Aristocratic Family
Emperor Xia looked at his two sons and felt indescribably disappointed.
He fought to the death with the aristocratic families in his old age, just to open up the situation for Daxia, so that future kings could break free from the constraints of the aristocratic families and become a true emperor of the world.
But the second and third sons still rely on the aristocratic families. If they are allowed to take the throne, then the policy he has formulated for governing the country...
I'm afraid that once he dies, he will be overthrown!
Disturbed by his two sons' words, Emperor Xia was in no mood to ask any more questions. He said silently, "I still remember when we first started the war..."
"That year I was only fifteen..."
"???"
The ministers were puzzled. Weren't they discussing the case? Why was His Majesty reminiscing about the past?
Only a few people heard other meanings in Emperor Xia's words.
Song Pu, in particular, had a sudden change of expression when he heard Emperor Xia talk about the past. Emperor Xia had already made up his mind...
really!
Emperor Xia's tone suddenly changed. "The Dayu of that time... if justice had been given to me and my fellow countrymen, perhaps I wouldn't have joined the rebel army in overthrowing Dayu!"
"His Majesty!"
Many court officials shouted subconsciously!
Emperor Xia waved his hand and continued, "After more than ten years of fighting, we finally had the Great Xia. The Great Xia nation was established, and I became the emperor. My goal was to prevent people from starving to death in this world."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Yuanrong civil and military officials who had followed Emperor Xia in their careers had tears in their eyes, as if they were thinking of those years of blood and fire.
"Who among us isn't covered in blood and mud, having risen from ordinary people to this imperial court?"
"I want to build the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty for eternity, and they also want to be nobles for generations..."
Emperor Xia pointed at Li Ye and others and just smiled slightly.
However, his expression suddenly changed, a strong murderous aura suddenly emerged, and he shouted angrily: "But what about the people of the world?"
"Could there be people like me among them? If no one gives them justice, they could also raise the banner of justice and destroy my Great Xia?"
"Your Majesty, you must not..."
"You all shut up!"
Emperor Xia roared angrily, "I thought so at the time, but can you guarantee that no other people thought the same? What I see in this booklet is not only treacherous ministers undermining the foundation of Great Xia, but also bloodstains!"
"As officials appointed by the imperial court, aren't you even slightly moved by what you see?"
"The laws of Daxia are written in ten thousand words. What do they say? Isn't it about fairness and justice?"
"If even this fairness and justice are gone, then my Great Xia deserves to perish!"
Emperor Xia was furious and threw the booklet to the ground. All the officials in the court were suddenly silent. They didn't dare to breathe and lowered their heads without looking at Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia had always been quite lenient, causing some people to gradually forget about him.
The one in front of me was also an emperor who put on armor and went into battle at the age of fifteen and conquered the world with just a sword and a knife.
Emperor Xia silently looked at the court officials for a long time. He walked to the side of the dragon throne and held up the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hands. He gently stroked this ancient yet majestic longsword, then turned around...
"Gu Jingzhi..."
"Chen is here!"
"I grant you the Great Xia Dragon Bird and authorize you to handle this case with full authority. I have no other requests, but you must remember this..."
"Give the world justice!"
When Gu Jingzhi heard this, his heart suddenly began to pound. Looking at Emperor Xia walking down the Danbi step by step with a sword in hand, Gu Jingzhi hurried forward and raised his hands.
Emperor Xia slammed the Emperor's Sword heavily into his hand.
"This case involves a wide range of issues. You can recruit all the necessary personnel from the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Justice and the Censorate can also select personnel to participate in this case."
"Do you know the meaning of this sword?"
"I dare not forget. I will wield this sword to sever all thorns and thorns for Your Majesty, cleanse the world of filth, and restore peace and prosperity to Great Xia and its people!"
Gu Jingzhi shouted loudly.
The sound spread throughout the hall.
When those officials from aristocratic families heard Gu Jingzhi's firm tone... their hearts skipped a beat.
Gu Jingzhi is serious now!
Song Pu finally knew what Emperor Xia and Gu Jingzhi were really planning!
Previously, he thought that Emperor Xia would at most get a few playboys from aristocratic families to impress the aristocratic families of the world.
But no one expected that what Emperor Xia wanted to cut off was the foundation of the family!
Taking advantage of the land encroachment incident of Gu Heng's family, he directly dug up the case from two years ago, and then spread the fire to all the noble families in the world.
however……
They have no reason to refute it yet.
Emperor Xia was the founding monarch, not a foolish and incompetent monarch. When playing games with Emperor Xia, one must follow the rules. This is the way the game is played between imperial power and prime ministerial power.
Now Emperor Xia is right and they are not, just like Guo and Jiang two years ago.
Emperor Xia also won at that time, but the final result was that both the Guo and Jiang families were completely wiped out!
Now this Gu Jingzhi...
They looked at Gu Jingzhi, who was wearing a red official robe and holding the Great Xia Dragon Bird. This kid...
But they are not as easy to kill as Guo and Jiang!
Fortunately, there is still time. If we hurry up now and give the aristocratic families enough time to deal with the troubles they have, even if Gu Jingzhi finds out something in the end, it probably won't damage their foundation.
and……
This little thief has now taken on this hot potato. Even if Song Pu doesn't take action, will other families not take action?
However, the others, especially the veterans, looked at Gu Jingzhi with envy.
They have followed Emperor Xia for so many years, and few people have been treated like Gu Jingzhi.
You know, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword, which symbolizes the power of the Great Xia Emperor, has fallen into Gu Jingzhi's hands for the second time. It turns out that a young man who has been in the court for less than a year has received such honor.
……
After leaving the court.
As soon as Gu Jingzhi walked out of the hall, he grabbed his mentor Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan smiled as he looked at the Emperor's Sword in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional. He had never expected that a figure like Gu Jingzhi would appear in the first imperial examination he presided over in his life.
According to his current honor and achievements, if he can stay in the court of Daxia until the end, he will probably be a famous minister who will be written into the history.
If this case is handled successfully, with his experience of having twice been in charge of the Dragon Bird of Great Xia, as long as he does not rebel in the future, even the kings of later generations will have to respect him.
"Teacher, His Majesty has entrusted you with an important task, but my time in the court is still short, and I have something to ask you, my dear teacher!"
"Is it a question of selection?"
Wei Xuan looked at Gu Jingzhi with a smile and saw his problem at a glance.
Gu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "I haven't even recognized all the officials in the court. Now that His Majesty has entrusted me with an important task, I would like to trouble you to recommend a few to me!"
"Well!"
Wei Xuan stroked his beard with a smile, but did not directly recommend it. Instead, he asked, "I am a little curious, how far do you want to go in this case?"
