Chapter 373 Why are you afraid now?

The emperor's words shocked all the officials in Zhisha Palace.

What shocked them was not the emperor's disposal of the Sun family in Linchuan, but they were originally interested.

What shocked them was... what the emperor gave to Li Fan! The Censor! Shang Fang’s sword! The Censor has the power to impeach officials all over the world, and can even advise the emperor.

——That's right, but in fact everyone understands that the censor is just annoying and has no real power. If it is not a fundamental problem, then no matter how crazy the censor is, it will only damage their reputation.

However, with the Shangfang Sword... this is different! This instantly turns the censor's reputation into real power! Those who hold Shangfang Sword can kill first and then report! Shangfang Sword is a symbol of the emperor.

——Even since Emperor Jianye ascended the throne, Shangfang’s sword was given to only two people.

One is Wu Tiangu, the first general of Daxi who once won the sky, who was the first to win over the sky.

The second is the evergreen tree standing in front of all officials and experiencing countless ups and downs and downs, the right prime minister Li Wen.

A small official like Li Fan can actually become the third person holding the sword of Shangfang... This meaning made the officials think too much! With this sword, Li Fan can deal with anyone... How can all officials not be surprised?

"This...this...this...what the Lord wants Li Fan to check the taxes in various places?"

"This is deadly, this is really deadly!"

"No way... Could it be that what the emperor said, the talented person of the world... refers to the cruel official Li Fan?"

All the officials spoke one after another, and who was filled with shock and fear in their words! Who is Li Fan?

In everyone's eyes, they are a cruel official and an ignorant butcher.

Originally, such a person was previously limited to a small Zhengyang County or a small Linchuan County, which was optional for all officials in the court.

But now... he actually became the censor who holds the Sword of Shangfang?

This is so terrible! Wu Jingru and three other censors of the Censorate's Censorate's eyes were red at this moment. Damn, that's the Sword of Shangfang.

If they could be held in their hands for a while, it would be worthy of being kept in history! However, now the emperor actually signed a new censor and gave the sword to the other party... This was a naked slap in the faces of several censors. The implication was that they, the original censors, were all useless... Sun Zhongfu, who was kneeling on the ground, had a flash of gratitude and relaxation in his heart when he heard that the emperor would not kill him. After all, the family was destroyed and it was a blessing to save himself.

However, when he heard that Li Fan became the censor and held the Shangfang sword, his whole body became weak! He almost fainted! It's over! He hated Li Fan to the core, but now Li Fan jumped into the Dragon Gate and held the heavy power! Even now, it's not Li Fan who is afraid of him, but he is afraid of Li Fan! All civil and military officials are worried.

The Great Your Highness Liu Huan even shrank his pupils, and an unbelievable look ejaculated in his eyes, followed by a fire of anger, burning through his eyes! How could this be... His enemy actually took the initiative to seek merit for Li Fan, but no matter how you say it, it was just a helpless statement. Now that the emperor really gave Li Fan real power, he felt extremely uncomfortable as if he had eaten hundreds of dead children! However, he did not dare to say anything, and could only remain silent, silent! All the officials were silent.

A complicated look flashed in Wen Baishan's eyes. He remembered the young man who once forced himself into a desperate situation... It was only half a year! In half a year, it rose unparalleled like a comet, making no one dare to look directly at it.

"This boy finally took advantage of the situation... he didn't miss it at the beginning."

He remembered many things when he was in Yangzhou! Right Prime Minister Li Wen sighed slightly, but he kept calm and said, "My emperor is wise! Li Fan really deserves reward and value!"

He made such a statement, and all the officials had to speak out one after another.

"My emperor's wise!"

"My emperor's wise!"

"My emperor's wise!"

...There are scattered.

When he walked out of the Hall of Knowing Shame, a cold wind came. Many officials couldn't help but tremble, but their eyes were filled with a dazed look, and they almost felt like they were still in a dream.

"Hey, this time, Li Fan is in power..." "What is this person's background? Why does he appear so terrible? In just half a year, he has gone from a small child to a censor holding the Sword of Shangfang and an inspector of Yangzhou?

This is simply a freak!”

"Yes, the promotion speed that has never been seen in history is simply frightening. Zhao Nantang could find such a person..." All officials walked out of the palace gate and were still immersed in the shock just now, talking constantly.

Everyone understands that the comet has risen.

It is probably very, very difficult to deal with Li Fan now.

Especially the generals such as Duan Congrong got on the carriage with a very gloomy face.

They and Zhao Nantang have always been political enemies, and everyone knows that Li Fan is Zhao Nantang's person... The reason why Zhao Nantang has been suppressed can be said to have a lot to do with the lack of help from the court. Now that Li Fan's appearance is a monster, it may affect the situation of the court... All officials said goodbye at the gate of the palace.

On that day, the imperial edict was issued from Xijing.

That night, all the officials couldn't sleep more than the previous night! "Woooooo, woooo..." Sun's mansion burst into tears! When Sun Zhongfu returned to Sun's mansion, he found that many servants had left without saying goodbye. It was obvious that he had lost his power and left... This made Sun Zhongfu's already uncomfortable mood even worse.

At night, when he learned that his family was going to be killed, countless people in the mansion made a loud cry.

After all, many of the confidants here were brought by Sun Zhongfu from Linchuan.

"Master, what should we do..." "The family is gone..." Looking at the people in the mansion who were crying to death, Sun Zhongfu could only slump on the chair, and he seemed to have lost his soul and murmured: "What does it mean to be the ups and downs of the officialdom? This is the ups and downs of the officialdom. Who would have thought that yesterday I was still the Minister of Justice that no one dared to provoke..."... Chunming Palace.

“Satisfied?

This is the result of you asking me to touch the god of death!”

Liu Huan returned, furious and furious! Eunuch Huang knelt on the ground, trembling, and said, "Your Highness, this Li Fan is really a freak, a monster, I firmly think that he can use magic tricks..." "Don't tell me these things! Now that Li Fan is favored by his father, what should I do?

Um?

!”

Liu Huan spoke in anger.

Eunuch Huang said, "Your Highness, Li Fan is not afraid, because the emperor will make Li Fan and all the officials an enemy. From now on, those who want to kill Li Fan will not only be our Chunming Palace. Even if he has great power, he will still be an isolated minister..." After hearing this, Liu Huan's eyes eased a little, and said, "Even if this is the case, you must not relax. Go down and summon everyone to think of it! I can't think of a good countermeasure, and I will never let it go!"

Eunuch Huang crawled back and walked out.

After Eunuch Huang left, a little eunuch suddenly walked in and whispered directly to Liu Huan's ear, saying, "The mother of the country will go to Shoufu Temple tomorrow to pray for the emperor, and I will inform your highness."

Hearing this, Liu Huan's heart moved instantly, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes. The depression and discomfort brought by the court today seemed to disappear. He nodded immediately and said, "I understand, go down."

...The Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Teacher, the students don't understand why you have to say those things... In this way, all officials are afraid they will be suspicious..." The middle-aged scholar looked at Li Wen with a full of doubt on his face.

In his opinion, Li Wenqian should not have spoken out the disadvantages of tax revenue.

"Build your head in the sand, that's what only the ostrich will do."

Li Wen spoke lightly and said, "All officials in the court were blinded by interests, because this matter would hurt their own interests, so they would cover them up in all kinds of ways."

"Little do you know that all benefits come from the Nine Five Lords.

Those who follow it will live, and those who go against it will die."

"The matter has been broken, but they pretended to be fools. This is irresponsible for their lives."

When the middle-aged scholar heard this, hesitated for a moment and said, "But if all the officials had the same attitude, the emperor would probably have to recognize him..." The emperor shared the world with the scholars and officials.

If all the scholars and officials and all the great clans disagree, even if they are the emperor's 95th emperor, they may not be able to do anything... Sometimes, the emperor is powerless! However, Li Wen's face suddenly sank and he shouted: "Damn it!"

"Such disloyal and disrespectful words are not allowed to be mentioned again from now on, otherwise, you will die!"

His words were cold.

The middle-aged essay suddenly became shocked and pale. He slapped himself twice and said, "Students are wrong, please forgive me!"

Li Wen just glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don't forget that when Wu Tiangu declared war on the Hu people, the civil and military officials in the court unanimously opposed it. Memorials impeaching Wu Tiangu accumulated into a mountain.

But what's the result?

The Master directly killed forty-seven high-ranking Yuans to Wu Tian Gu Shangfang's sword."

"Do you really think that the priests are afraid of blood?"

The middle-aged scholar's face became paler, and he realized that over the past twenty years, the current emperor was no longer so thunderous, which made him forget the tragedy twenty years ago... At the same time, he was also shocked. In addition to Wu Tiangu, his teacher, when he was in charge of Shangfang's sword, also killed the court in a mess... He felt even more uneasy.

"The Lord saw this. I have to say that if I don't say it, it is a dereliction of duty, and I am sorry for the 'Yichun cloth' sent by the Lord. After all, today, people are really living too hard, and this will be unfavorable to the country."

"But, I can only say, I can't do it."

Li Wen said, and suddenly felt infinite emotion in his eyes, saying, "If the great cause of national taxation can be changed, it will benefit the country and the people of the world. But I, Li Wen, will never touch such great achievements..." He didn't know what he remembered, and a wet feeling suddenly flashed in his old eyes, and he murmured: "I am old and afraid of death... Only young people can do such things."

He said, then suddenly laughed bitterly, picked up the wine glass, sprinkled it all on the ground, and murmured: "Where are you laughing at me under the fountain?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged scholar's heart flashed with storms. His teacher, the person who once stained the blood of hundreds of officials, was he afraid this time?

What can make him afraid?

!…The Palace.

The Palace of Shame.

"Master, are you really going to let that kid Li Fan... support such a heavy burden?"

Wen Baishan couldn't help but speak.

After all, Li Fan seems to be not enough to remove tax corruption... "Of course not."

The emperor smiled slightly.

Wen Baishan looked at the emperor in confusion, waiting for the emperor's next words.

"Li Fan is a quick knife that can cut the mess, but he is still a little too young."

Wen Baishan couldn't help but say, "What the emperor means is... Master Lin?"

Emperor Jianye shook his head and said, "Lin saw deep, has more than enough success, but has less progress.

The most suitable person for civil and military officials in the court was Li Wen."

He paused and said, "But, Li Wen doesn't want to do it, and I won't force him."

"I'm here in person."

I came in person! Hearing this, Wen Baishan was shocked.

"However, before that, I have to ask what advice there is in Yangzhou.

If you send me a letter, I will ask the little censor for me. I am at least the magistrate of the Nine Five. I would be embarrassed to ask him personally.”
