Chapter 461
When Yuchi Gong was still the prince, he investigated and handled several major cases, which were not what he wanted. This was the situation.

His imperial grandfather was not a diligent monarch. He was greedy for pleasure and did not like to go to court. He often left political affairs to the courtiers below.

However, the former emperor was often unable to handle political affairs in the previous dynasty. He did not seek merit but sought no fault. He was merciful and soft-hearted, but his methods were not decisive enough, and his ministers below him were distracted.

This has given rise to many problems. The two generations of monarchs either ignored the affairs of state or were not strong enough to suppress the courtiers below, making corruption increasingly serious and long-standing evils becoming more and more serious.

The problems accumulated by two generations of emperors came to Yuchigong, and it was time to take drastic measures.

Otherwise, the major corruption case in water transportation four years ago would not have reached the point where the prince personally took risks and went to investigate thoroughly.

The corrupt money found out afterwards was able to fight a big war and still make a small surplus for the state treasury, which shows the extent of corruption.

"That veteran minister has been in the government for many years and has deep roots. He is accustomed to relying on his old age and selling off his old age. I also secretly investigated for a year before uprooting him."

Yuchi Gong and Lihua slowly explained the reason.

Lihua was amazed, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised without hesitation: "Long live Lord is really a capable person, with outstanding talent, just like a heavenly being, and invincible to anyone!"

Some people are born with geniuses. For example, the young general Huo Qubing was granted the title of Xu at the age of 19. That is an exaggeration.

And the living person in front of her, no matter how old he was at that time, had accomplished so many great things and demonstrated his strong political talent.

At that age in modern times, she could only read books, but the evildoer had already begun to work hard for the world and eliminate the worms in the court.

Lihua couldn't imagine it, and said to herself: "It must be very difficult, after all, this kind of work is easy to offend people."

She knew that the late emperor had many princes. If someone fanned the flames of trouble to the late emperor, the evildoer's iron-blooded tactics could easily arouse the late emperor's suspicion and cause her to lose support.

Although Yuchi Gong didn't think that those things in the past had anything to do with it, he was just pursuing his own affairs in his position.

Why wait until he ascends the throne to remove the obstacles that he could use the late emperor's power to remove when he becomes the crown prince? The presence of these people at that time will undoubtedly add resistance to his administration.But he was very happy to hear Lihua's praise. After all, there were too few sincere praises from the little thief.

He smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not as difficult as I thought."

Ministers who made mistakes in the past went to the late emperor to cry and beg, and their big sins became minor sins, and minor sins became innocent.

Yuchi Gong never gave these people a chance. No one knew the late emperor's temper better than him.

The late emperor was prone to be soft-hearted, so he guided his father to make up his mind.

Before those guilty officials received the news, Yuchi Gong had already listed all the evidence of the crime to the late emperor, told the tragic suffering of the people, and explained the harm to the world and Yuchi's country.

The late emperor knew that he was not an accomplished monarch. He suffered deeply from the mess left by the previous emperor and was unable to do what he wanted. He did not want the next generation to be like this again.

The late emperor was just kind-hearted but not stupid. Once Yuchi Jiangshan was involved, he immediately became angry, put aside his soft-heartedness and issued an order to investigate and deal with it.

When Yuchi Gong received the decree, he would often put all the people who should be arrested in prison before the guilty officials could react, cutting off all escape routes and killing them with one blow, leaving no chance of the late emperor crying for mercy.

Those who wanted to plead for mercy heard that it was a serious crime to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans. They were afraid of being implicated and it was too late. How could they dare to go to the late emperor to plead for mercy? Even if they went, Yuchi Gong would have the next step to deal with it.

In the heart of the late emperor, Yuchi Gong was not afraid of hardship or exhaustion and worked hard. He was completely carrying out his will and could not arouse any suspicion at all.

Of course, there were times when concubines gave the late emperor a blow, and when other princes fanned the flames. However, when the late emperor's attitude changed slightly, Yuchi Gong was aware of it and responded to it, and in the end everything was settled.

Although the prince's status was faced with eager eyes from all directions, it was ultimately as stable as a mountain.

All the ministers in the court had seen the prince's outstanding skills. When Yuchi Gong ascended the throne, who would dare to make trouble?
