I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 486
Li Tian's guess was right, they were not afraid of Li Tian's order to conduct a thorough investigation, because it was an iron fact that Yang Dao held the tea-horse trade fair privately, even though many people on the list behind were fabricated by them.

But everyone has been an official for so many years, whose buttocks are absolutely clean, if we really want to investigate seriously, I am afraid that none of them will escape.

If Li Tian didn't know the inside story, using the tea horse trade fair as a pretext, under the rage, it might be possible to deal with all the people involved in one fell swoop.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Tian not only didn't respond to the tea horse fair, but instead pointed out their real purpose when he came up.

Immediately, several people broke out in cold sweat from fright, thinking that Li Tian had already fully understood their actions.

But fear is fear, but they have already taken the first step. If they don’t persist, they will die sooner or later. They had no choice but to bite the bullet, kneel on the ground, and said stubbornly,
"Your Majesty, as the supervisory censor, we naturally have the duty to supervise all corrupt officials. I hope your majesty will check whether the report is true or not."

"Your Majesty, please be aware..."

A few people kowtowed like garlic, with sad and solemn expressions, making people who don't understand the truth really think that they are risking their lives to report corruption.

Li Tian laughed angrily at their acting skills far beyond Oscar.

"Good, good, really good!"

"Since you keep saying that you want me to investigate this matter, then I will do as you wish."

Speaking of this, Li Tian paused for a while, seeing the joy in the eyes of several people, Li Tian suddenly changed the subject.

went on to say,

"However, it's about important officials of the imperial court. It is impossible for me to listen to what you say. If you have a clear conscience, you might as well cooperate with Dongchang Jinyiwei to investigate this matter clearly!"

After speaking, he waved his hand,

"Come here, take them down and ask them."

When it came to asking about the word, Li Tian deliberately emphasized his tone, and Huang Yan who was beside him immediately understood Li Tian's meaning.

Staring at a few people with a grim smile,
"It's Your Majesty. This old slave will definitely ask carefully and never let go of any clues."

Hearing that Li Tian actually handed himself and others over to Dongchang, several people immediately turned pale with fright.

He kowtowed hard and begged for mercy,

"Your Majesty is aware that what I have said is indeed true!"

Seeing that they were so scared, but still refused to reveal their true intentions, Li Tian also knew that they were determined to carry on to the death, so he waved his hands tiredly,
"Take it away!"

Amidst howling ghosts and howling wolves, several imperial envoys were dragged down by the Jin Yiwei on duty in the main hall.

All the court officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Since ancient times, there have been very few officials and envoys who were dragged out of the court for reporting something. At most, they were beaten dozens of slaps in court for contradicting the emperor.

Not only are they not afraid of being punished by the big board, but even many imperial envoys regard being punished by the emperor as an honor to fight against power.

It is rumored that there was a speech official in the Ming Dynasty who contradicted the emperor because of his outspokenness.

But the Yanguan dried the piece of meat and kept it as a treasure.

Although the rumors cannot be completely believed, they can more or less prove the unscrupulousness of the officials in the court and the complicated love-hate relationship between them and the emperor.

But what Li Tian did today was beyond everyone's expectations.

After a while, a few officials from the six ministries who didn't think it was a big deal came forward and said,

"Your Majesty, it's their duty to hear the wind and report. Your Majesty doesn't ask why... Is it too much?"

Li Tian raised his eyebrows, and said in a neutral voice,

"I just asked them to accept inquiries and cooperate with the investigation, why not!"

The official was almost choked by Li Tian's words and almost couldn't breathe.

"But...but..."

He did not say what would happen to them, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that their fate would not be much better.

But there is indeed nothing wrong with Li Tian's words. Even if these ministers wanted to intercede for the imperial envoys, they couldn't find a reason.

So someone began to talk about the memorial.

"Your Majesty, can you please circulate this memorandum?"

Li Tian originally didn't intend to make this memorial known to everyone. After all, it is really not easy to publicize the matter of Yang Shiqi's son in front of so many people.

But he thought about it and didn't stop him.

It's not that he gave up on Yang Dao, but that this matter cannot be stopped even if he wants to stop it.

Who knows how many people in the DPRK are involved in this matter. If they want to fight against each other in one fell swoop, the power of the two cabinet ministers and the people behind them is definitely not small.

Instead of letting them run around behind their backs, it's better to put everything on the table, which is intuitive and thorough.

However, in this way, Yang Shiqi's reputation will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, and Li Tian actually has no idea what will happen in the end.

It was only at this time that Li Tian deeply realized that the infighting in the court is really not something that can be played just by watching a few Marysu TV series.

Fortunately, when I first became the emperor, I was decisive enough to kill and attack. The top officials of the six ministries almost had a big change. Finally, I was able to frighten these guys and did not make any big troubles.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the past two months, just when I was a little slack, they should join forces to give themselves a big move.

It's really not a moment of leisure.

Li Tian glanced at the ministers who watched the memorial one by one, and analyzed one by one from their expressions, who was behind the scenes.

But after watching it for a long time, I don't know if their acting skills are too good, or they really don't know. The performance of most people is shocking and unbelievable.

This actually made Li Tian a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the old minister dares to guarantee the head of the item. Mr. Yang Ge is definitely not this kind of person. Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly and exchange Mr. Yang for his innocence."

"The minister reconsider!"

"The minister reconsider!"

Originally, this was a very normal way to smooth things over, but what Li Tian needed at this time was not this kind of smoothing.

Since it was unavoidable, Li Tian simply waved his hand and said,

"Decree to order the Judicial Yamen to take full responsibility for the investigation of this matter, and the deployment of all personnel resources required for the investigation is due to Jiean's responsibility!"

Hearing that Li Tian actually handed over such an important matter to the Judicial Office, which was established less than three months ago, and the person in charge was actually the little-known Yu Jie'an, everyone seemed a little confused.

But Li Tian has his own considerations.

"Don't you all want the truth? Then I will give you a so-called truth, but what the truth is, I have the final say!"
