I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 421 Cleaning up the court
"I see your Highness the Prince."

Qin Jiansheng, Chen Xuanli, and a large number of court officials all knelt down, hoping to pay homage to Li Zheng.

After being reminded by their companions, Wang Tao and Chen Jing, who were stunned, came to their senses in horror and knelt down directly.

But as soon as they knelt down, their energy and energy seemed to be gone.

They seem to have lost their chance to gain a foothold in the court in the future.

And standing on the stairs.

Li Zheng looked down at the Manchu Dynasty, feeling a sense of silent heroism.

It seemed that the whole world was at his feet.

"Is this the true imperial power?"

"All officials surrender."

"The world surrenders."

Li Zheng stared at the courtiers who were kneeling in the hall. Even though Li Zheng had seen many big scenes, he was still the same at this moment, extremely shocked.

Overlooking the court, overlooking the world.

After all, he was in charge.

"My lords, please be safe."

Li Shimin stared at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said with authority.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

"Li Zheng is my prince, and he has made great military exploits for our Tang Dynasty."

"I have decided to supervise the country and take charge of the government while the prince is in coma."

"Where is Chen Shubao, the Minister of Rites?" Li Shimin asked loudly.

echoed.

Chen Shubao stood up immediately.

"Your Majesty, Chen Shubao, respectfully obeys the emperor's orders," Chen Shubao said.

"Choose a good and auspicious day for the prince Li Zheng, and in accordance with God's will, canonize the prince and supervise the country and govern."

"As for the location, it is just outside Chang'an City. I want the people of Chang'an. Scorpio loves the people to know that I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, have returned."

"The ceremony of canonization was also carried out under the eyes of all the people."

"I will leave all the specific matters to you." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"I will never let the emperor down." Chen Shubao bowed respectfully.

He was naturally excited at this moment.

"Except for what is required for the canonization ceremony."

"The royal family's ancestral temple also held a return ceremony that day. Li Zheng's name was entered into the genealogy and jade objects were given to him. In addition, all Li Zheng's children were entered into the genealogy and made jade objects." Li Shimin said loudly.

"I accept the decree."

The master of ceremonies of the ancestral temple said respectfully.

"Li Zheng."

"This time, as you are the hero of quelling the smallpox epidemic, I will give you the power of reward and punishment for the ministers and ministers who have contributed to the quelling of smallpox." Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Father." Li Zheng turned around and thanked him.

Subsequently.

He looked at Chaotang Wenwu.

"This pandemic is man-made, but it also came suddenly."

"But Haozi, all the ministers and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were able to contain the spread of the epidemic in time."

"In the process of suppressing smallpox, many ministers also made a lot of contributions."

"Qin Jiansheng."

"Changsun Wuji."

"Li Jing."

"Chen Shubao."

"Zhang Gongjin."

"Chen Xuanli..."

One by one, names came out of Li Zheng's mouth.

Upon hearing their names being called, these ministers stood in the hall one after another, looking expectant and awe-struck.

"These dozen ministers sacrificed their lives to control the epidemic, and they all made great achievements."

"Each person will be given a year's salary and a hundred pieces of brocade to show the emperor's favor."

"Except."

"On the notice announcing the end of smallpox in the world, commend his name so that everyone in the world will know."

Li Zheng smiled slightly and said to these meritorious ministers.

Hear the words.

All the officials bowed to Li Zheng and said, "I will thank His Highness the Prince for your kindness." '

The gift of a year's salary and brocade is a material increase, but the real gift is a commendation in a notice to the world. For them, martial arts is more exciting.

"This pandemic."

"There are many meritorious ministers, but there are also many ministers who have made mistakes, and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death..." Li Zheng turned around, his face turned cold, and his cold eyes fell directly on Chen Jing and Wang Tao. Waiting for others.

That day's political meeting hall.

Li Zheng still vividly remembers their greed for life and fear of death.

Hear the sound.

Chen Jing and the others turned pale.

"Smallpox has been a major plague throughout the ages."

"A narrow escape from death."

"Everyone knows it."

"But who can be afraid and who cannot be afraid."

“It’s all weighed in your mind.”

"The people can be afraid because they are people, and the soldiers can be afraid because they are soldiers."

"Smallpox is like a war, like an enemy sweeping across the country, just like the Turkic cavalry in the past who went south, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. If those in power are afraid, the country will not be a country."

"The imperial power and the power of hundreds of officials are all given by the emperor to govern the world. If the world is in chaos and the authority is useless, then what is the use of important ministers?"

"Fortunately, there are many ministers who are willing to sacrifice their lives to participate in the governance this time. Otherwise, if the people of the world know that there are so many powerful people in the Tang Dynasty who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it will really be ridiculous." Li Zheng said coldly, his words The disgust and harshness in him were undisguised.

And Li Zheng's cold and sharp gaze fell on Chen Jing and Wang Tao without any cover.

The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty also gathered one after another.

There are jokers.

There are those who see through it.

Everyone understands.

This is when the current crown prince begins to take action. He is the emperor and his courtiers.

This sentence is definitely not false.

Even Li Shimin on the dragon throne looked on indifferently. , under so many eyes.

Chen Jing and Wang Tao slowly knelt down.

After the two of them knelt down.

Those officials who were greedy for life and fearful of death in the Yizheng Hall also knelt down one after another.

"I am guilty."

Everyone knelt down and said in great fear.

They all know it in their hearts.

Mentioning the epidemic control that day was just an excuse for Li Zheng. This matter could be big or small, but if word got out, it would definitely arouse the anger of the people.

It is clear.

That day, Li Zheng dug a hole in the political hall to deal with them.

"Father."

"They can be punished as dereliction of duty." Li Zheng turned his head and looked at Li Shimin.

"I said it."

"Leave this matter to you."

"I won't ask." Li Shimin said warmly.

But in the eyes.

The look in Li Zheng's eyes revealed a sense of relief.

He naturally understood that it was his prince who had begun to clean up the court, and he also thought that the Council Hall was a hole dug by his prince for these people.

Call it a pit.

Or it may be a trap specifically targeted at those who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Brilliant."

"My prince is amazing."

"This method is enough to deal with them." Li Shimin smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Obtained Li Shimin's approval.

Li Zheng looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground again.

"The crime of dereliction of duty can be serious or minor."

"If this matter gets out, it can be big or small."

"What do you think I should do with you?" Li Zheng looked at these people indifferently, with a deep meaning.

Hear this.

The expressions of those kneeling on the ground changed, and they naturally understood the deep meaning of these words.

"Ugh."

“After all, we were on the wrong side.”

"Wrong idea."

"Wrong choice."

Chen Jing and Wang Tao looked at each other with a bitter look.
