Chapter 311 Bloody Storm
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Lu Chen suddenly understood why Jiang Chengwan said this.
According to Fu Hua's investigation results, the incident in Xingping County is basically the fault of this group of relatives, princes and nobles. Only they have the ability to directly paralyze the government of a county. .
As for motivation, it's simpler.
During the past year when he was in charge of the Ministry of Works and the Department of Heavenly Works, most of his actions seriously violated the fundamental interests of these people.
Let’s not talk about it far, let’s talk about the Duke of Yan. After he took control of the Ministry of Industry, the first thing he did was to cut the expenditure on spiritual stones and other spiritual materials. He directly cut off the purchase of the so-called Longquan spiritual stones, which cost the most. , and turned into a low-price bidding method to reduce the cost of purchasing spiritual stones as much as possible.
Not only that, he also actively inspected the warehouse and began to investigate the reasons for abnormal expenditures, especially the matter of abnormal losses.
Although the former right minister of the Ministry of Industry who was responsible for the attrition incident "accidentally" disappeared and the key clues were lost, making it difficult to trace the matter, he has not closed the case and is obviously not ready to let it go.
Although there is no evidence, there are various signs that the abnormal expenditures and losses of the Ministry of Industry before he took charge are inseparable from the Duke of Yan.
As long as he, the most popular person in the dynasty, keeps staring at this matter, he will always pose a huge threat to the Duke of Yan.
Even with the hair on his legs, he knew that the other party must hate him to the core and wanted to kill him quickly.
And this is just one of the things.
The various policies and reforms implemented by Lu Chen after he came to power, as well as the various new things developed by Tiangong Division such as cement and coal that can maximize revenue and reduce expenditures and benefit the country and the people, are all damaging to the monopoly. Resources for the benefit of princes and nobles.
Money touches people's hearts, and cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. This is an eternal truth no matter in which world it is.
Since he had touched everyone's cake, it was natural for the other party to fight back desperately.
But Lu Chen never expected that these people whose interests had been harmed would be so crazy that they would attack hundreds of thousands of people in a county.
These people who have lost their sights have obviously abandoned even the most basic humanity.
As long as he, the culprit, can be killed, nothing else matters.
Realizing this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"The dispute over political opinions has actually harmed the people. It is simply crazy and has no bottom line!"
"It can be seen that these people only care about their own interests and gains and losses, and they have long forgotten the country and the country of Daxia. They are such unkind, unjust, shameless people with no loyalty and morality, and they actually steal high positions and share the national destiny with the royal family. It’s simply a shame for me!”
Seeing Lu Chen's angry face, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Don't worry, Lu Qing."
Her red lips parted slightly and she said slowly:
"I will not let go of these unworthy people. No matter how many things are involved and how wide the impact is, I will never let go of any villain who abuses the people and destroys the foundation of our Great Xia."
"In my place, there is no law and no one is punished. We can only act according to the law!"
Upon hearing this, Chai Hongyu glanced at Jiang Chengwan in surprise.
It seemed that he didn't expect Jiang Chengwan to be so impulsive.
But Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and then asked rather hesitantly: "Do Master Liu and Master Fang know about this matter? What are their opinions on this matter?"
"This is not important."
Jiang Chengwan rarely answered Lu Chen's question directly, but instead said: "As you said before, Lu Qing, the way to do things is to do them when you know what you can't do. Don't ask if you can do something, but ask if you should."
"These villains are so evil. If we don't kill them, how can I give you, Lu Qing, an explanation for the innocent and tragic deaths of the people in Shiyi and the civilians who were killed for no reason in Xingping County? Moreover, if this time it is just because the involvement is too wide, just for the so-called The overall situation is shrinking, and finally the big things are reduced to small things, or the big ones are released. Doesn't it tell those people that I am afraid of them? Where is the power of the country? "
"Doing this will not solve the problem, and it will encourage these villains to become more arrogant and act more unscrupulously in the future, which is not conducive to the overall situation. Therefore, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Not only should this matter not be settled, but it should be dealt with in a big way. No matter who the criminal is, no matter what his special status or how many achievements his ancestors have, he cannot be exempted from guilt for any reason. He must be severely punished and punished in accordance with the law."
Speaking of this, Jiang Chengwan's eyes became firmer and his tone became more sonorous and powerful.
At this moment, this young human emperor, who was only seventeen years old, once again showed her majestic appearance and domineering power as an emperor.
"This time, I want to tell the powerful and civil and military officials clearly, don't think that you can stay warm by hugging each other. From now on, in my place, there will no longer be a punishment that cannot be treated like a doctor or a common man. If a prince breaks the law, he should be punished. The common people are guilty of the same crime. Those who deserve to have their homes confiscated, and those who deserve to have their families exterminated, the law also punishes everyone!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately stopped talking.
Chai Hongyu, on the other hand, was in awe, looking at Jiang Chengwan with a hint of admiration, and then looked at Lu Chen, with even more admiration in her eyes.
Jiang Chengwan just said it from the beginning, this was all Lu Chen's teachings.
In other words, without Lu Chen, she wouldn't be able to say these words.
The Empress is such an excellent student, so Lu Chen, who taught her these principles, is naturally more worthy of admiration.
Even Xiao Yun's eyes when she looked at Jiang Chengwan revealed a little strangeness.
As expected, he was able to deceive everyone under the nose of the powerful Queen Mother Zhao, and finally turned the tide and ruled the world. He was indeed full of courage.
"Since your majesty has made up his mind."
Lu Chen arched his hands towards Jiang Chengwan and said with a serious face: "I will do my best to help your majesty eliminate evil and rectify the world."
Seeing that Lu Chen did not object, Jiang Chengwan smiled slightly.
Deep in her heart, she felt an inexplicable joy of being recognized.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she persuaded Lu Chen to take orders directly.
With Lu Chen's statement, the matter was settled.
Then Xiao Yun and others left one after another, each busy, while Lu Chen returned to the inn with Jiang Chengwan and Chai Hongyu.
It was late. After being busy for so long, even Lu Chen, a workaholic, felt a little overwhelmed. After all, the energy consumed by the operation was too much.
At the same time when Lu Chen returned to his room, an imperial decree was sent directly to the Xuanji Guard's Zhenfu Division Office through the communication technique at an extremely fast speed. Not long after, it reached Fu Ya's ears who had been waiting for the emperor's reply.
In an instant, a terrifying bloody storm began to spread rapidly in the capital. (End of this chapter)
