Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 405
One year to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver!

Li Yin's words were like thunder, and they sounded the alarm bell for all the important court officials present, who were not surprised.

After Li Shimin heard this, his brows tightened and then loosened, and he was about to nod.

Can……

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"

An official surnamed Zhang stood up, his hands trembling slightly, but he still tried not to show timidity.

"Why not? I think the prince's suggestion is very good."

Li Shimin seemed to be smiling, and was taken aback by the officials who stood up to oppose Li Yin, but this matter was related to his vital interests, so he still had to talk about it.

"Your Majesty, if any minister in the world commits corruption, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will investigate and deal with it, and whether he should be beheaded or exiled, he will have no regrets."

"But now that there is no real evidence, it is inappropriate to stare at the money in their hands!"

After the official said this, Li Min immediately sneered and took over the conversation.

"What Mr. Zhang said is really the funniest thing I have ever heard!"

"I just made a suggestion. If you are so impatient, I think Master Zhang's hands are not clean."

Li Yin opened his mouth, ridiculing endlessly, never leaving him any sympathy.

The official's complexion suddenly became much uglier, and he could only step aside if he dared to face Li Yin directly.

However, Li Min was not going to let it go. He turned around and met Li Shimin's eyes, and then said.

"Father, what I said is not to investigate and deal with these officials, but to give them a warning."

"Your Majesty's eyes are not blind, and His Majesty is even more perceptive. You can tell whether you are loyal or treacherous. Who is willing to donate disaster relief silver taels at such a juncture? It all depends on your intentions."

After Li Yin said that, it immediately caused a commotion in the court, and Wei Zheng and others stood up one after another, supporting them endlessly.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Many courtiers were impressed by Li Min's methods, but there were also many people who were unclean officials, and their faces darkened, making them look very ugly.

How can one not know the deep meaning of Li Yin's actions, but they kill two birds with one stone, forcing them to hand over money to solve the crisis in the local area, and making them show their feet, so it is very easy to handle in the future.

On the dragon chair, Li Shimin laughed out loud with satisfaction. He never expected that Li Min was so extraordinary and could solve a headache for the Ministry of Industry in just a few words.

Dang both waved his hand.

"I have made up my mind, so I will erect a stele of merit and virtue outside the hall, and record how much you donate. All my dear friends, please do it for yourself."

Li Shimin smiled meaningfully, but he was mentioning some people, taking the opportunity to make up for their crimes, and they will not be held accountable in the future.

Many courtiers all looked ugly, and after sighing, they could only accept the result.

Looking at this scene, Li Shimin felt so happy, so he asked people to leave the court without incident.

After the court meeting was over, Wang De stopped Li Min before he could leave.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty invites you to the Imperial Garden for a briefing."

Wang De's tone was respectful. He had heard all Li Min's speech at the court meeting today and was impressed by it.

When Li Yin heard that it was Li Shimin's invitation, how could he refuse, so he chuckled lightly.

"The prince will go first, and the king will arrive later."

After Li Yin finished speaking, he looked to the side, Wei Zheng and others were waiting for him.

He walked over naturally and started talking with a few people.

"Sirs, don't you want to blame the king for what he did at the court meeting?" Li Yin deliberately joked.

It made Li Junxian laugh out loud, and said quickly.

"Your Highness said this. You are the current prince, how dare we blame you."

Hou Junji also followed suit.

"His Royal Highness has a clever mind and raised money for the people in the disaster area. I can't wait to admire him."

Li Yin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and explained the pros and cons to them.

"My lords are well aware of how you are officials, and this donation should be done according to one's ability."

"Just remember one thing: don't hide anything for the sake of the world."

After Li Min said this, several people present looked solemn. They were all on good terms with Li Min in private, so they would naturally spare no effort to support him in this matter.

Wei Zheng, who was standing on the side, remained silent, which made Li Min frown, somewhat incomprehensible.

"Master Wei seems to be preoccupied, don't know what to worry about?"

When Wei Zheng saw Li Min paying attention to him, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, but he was not carried away by the sight of Li Min in the court today.

Immediately reminded Li Yindao.

"Your Highness, this method of yours is brilliant, and His Majesty also appreciates it, but it has offended most of the officials in the court."

Wei Zheng was very worried, and he knew that the way to be an official is that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

After Li Yin's operations like this, many people have prejudice against him in their hearts. If he secretly trips Li Yin in the future, it will be impossible to guard against.

After hearing what he said, the expressions of the other people all changed, and they were very worried about Li Yin.

"Yes, Your Highness has offended many people this time." Hou Junji said thoughtfully.

The corners of Li Min's lips curled up, and a coldness gradually emerged, but he didn't take these things to heart at all.

He said indifferently.

"May I ask you all, what is the first priority of being in a high position?"

After Li Yin finished speaking, everyone was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Min said again.

"It should be to share worries for the king and seek happiness for the people."

"Dare to ask all of you what this king has done today, what has not been done."

After listening to Li Min's words, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh, knowing that Li Min was determined and didn't care what others thought.

The others admired him sincerely and saluted one after another.

Li Yin laughed and left, and sat and waited for those corrupt officials to come to trouble him. He was not afraid of the shadows swaying, and it was just a matter of moving his fingers to clean them up.

After figuring out these things, Li Yin went to the imperial garden in a good mood, and saw Li Shimin visiting the garden.

Shouting and embracing, the scene was very grand, Li Yin stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Father, the emperor is blessed and safe."

Seeing Li Yin approaching, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and signaled his followers to retreat.

On a path, two people walked side by side, but in relative silence.

After a long time, Li Shimin spoke first, and looked straight at Li Yin.

"Yin'er, today you are in the spotlight in the court."

"I'm so happy. You proposed this idea. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to implement it."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Yin was puzzled and couldn't react for a while.

Just listen to Li Shimin's explanation.

"Actually, I have thought about raising this money from corrupt officials, but this matter is of great importance, and I am worried that it will cause a backlash."

"So, it has been delayed again and again."
