Chapter 69: The trolls can no longer spray
Lai Mingcheng angrily denounced: "Without severe punishment, it is not enough to appease the public anger, without severe punishment, it is not enough to heal the wounds, without severe punishment, it is not enough to protect dignity, without severe punishment, it is not enough to set an example, and without severe punishment, it is not enough to establish the authority of the law."

As soon as Lai Mingcheng's words came out, other censors in the Censorate also echoed him.

After listening to this, Emperor Qing turned his head and glanced at Li Chengze.

Li Chengze noticed this look and suddenly shuddered.

The next second, Li Chengze seemed to have thought of something.

Li Chengze stood up and said to Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, I have a request."

"Eunuch Dai has defied the emperor. His crime is unforgivable! I beg the emperor to have him executed with a cane!"

"Your son, I am willing to supervise the execution!"

As soon as Li Chengze finished speaking, Crown Prince Li Chengqian beside him immediately showed a look of doubt in his life.

What happened to this second brother? When his own people were about to be beaten to death, he took the initiative to apply to supervise the execution!
For a moment, Li Chengqian panicked.

Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengze who was serious, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Yes!"

Hearing these two words, Li Chengze immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Li Chengze said: "Thank you, father!"

After saying that, Li Chengze returned to his seat and sat down.

Su Wenyi stood there, looking around and sneering in his heart.

Don't be anxious, the fun has yet to begin.

The Jianshusi is just an appetizer, the real main course is yet to come.

This time, he sorted out more than twenty or thirty officials.

Most of these people are under the command of the second brother. Those who are corrupt and accept bribes must die!

As for the prince's disciples and other people's disciples, there are also some.

After all, if you want to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, you have to treat everyone equally.

Su Wenyi spoke again: "Your Majesty, I have another report to make!"

"In addition to the Inspection Office, I also have a list in my hand."

"This list contains all the people who gave gifts to the Inspection Bureau."

"This matter is of great importance, and involves many officials!"

"I have a plan for this, Your Majesty, please review it."

After Su Wenyi finished speaking, he submitted another memorial.

Eunuch Hou once again delivered the memorial to Emperor Qing, and this memorial contained the vicious plan!
Emperor Qing looked at the contents of the memorial and said expressionlessly: "Your memorial asks me to spare those corrupt officials!"

When Su Wenyi saw Emperor Qing speaking, he began to support the comedy.

"Your Majesty, I believe corrupt officials have existed since ancient times. Why have successive dynasties been unable to completely solve this hidden danger?"

"Even under a wise monarch, there will always be corrupt officials under him."

“It is unavoidable and cannot be completely resolved at this time.”

"So in my opinion, since it cannot be solved, it is better to let it go."

"Let them be greedy! Be as greedy as they want!"

"Not only that, we must also make use of these people."

But this time, Su Wenyi had just said half of his words when Lai Mingcheng stood up again.

After Lai Mingcheng stood up, Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, Lai Mingcheng's words successfully made Emperor Qing unhappy.

Lai Mingcheng saluted Emperor Qing and said, "Your Majesty, what this man said is a plan that will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"I dare to ask Your Majesty to execute him immediately!"

After Lai Mingcheng finished speaking, several officials from the prince's faction jumped out.

"Your Majesty! I will die for your advice! What Su Wenyi said is to undermine the foundation of our Qing Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty! I request that this man be executed immediately!"

"Your Majesty, I want to challenge him in a duel!"

As soon as Su Wenyi finished speaking, all the civil and military officials responded and echoed him.

Emperor Qing also said with a stern face: "Su Wenyi, you heard it too!"

Su Wenyi said calmly: "Your Majesty, I heard it, but I haven't finished what I want to say."

Emperor Qing snorted coldly and said, "Then just keep talking!"

Su Wenyi continued, "Your Majesty, when I say that corrupt officials should be employed, I don't mean that all corrupt officials should be employed."

"I think there are different types of officials."

"Powerful ministers: refers to ministers who have real power, can override the emperor and monopolize power."

"A treacherous minister is one who is disloyal to the monarch, abuses his power, cheats, and harms the country. This kind of person has talent but is cruel and ruthless."

"Favored ministers refer to ministers who are very favored by the emperor. Even if they do something wrong, the emperor will not restrain them. Favored ministers often gain special privileges due to the emperor's preference."

"A flattering official is a minister who is good at flattery, opportunism, and fawning, and has average ability. A flattering official gains power by currying favor with the emperor or his close associates."

"As for greed or not, it doesn't matter at all."

"I think as long as you have the ability, you can be reused!"

Su Wenyi was halfway through his words when Lai Mingcheng interrupted him again: "Absurdity!"

"If what you said is true, then the heads of the six ministries, the prime minister, the president of the Inspection Institute, and the military commanders who are found to be corrupt can also be reused?"

"People like you should be beaten to death!"

Su Wenyi looked at the emotional Lai Mingcheng and said calmly, "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Reusing these capable corrupt officials will indeed cause problems."

"Corrupt officials deceive their superiors and subordinates, accept bribes, and withhold money. They are truly despicable and should be killed!"

“But some corrupt officials are indeed capable.”

"For example, if someone like Lin Xiang was corrupt." "Even if Lin Xiang embezzled 1.8 million taels of silver and married 20 or 30 concubines."

At this point, a civil servant jumped out.

"How dare you slander the prime minister!"

When Su Wenyi heard what this man said, he did not respond, but turned around and looked at Lin Ruofu who was sitting there.

Su Wenyi smiled and asked, "Prime Minister Lin, do you think I am slandering you?"

Lin Ruofu smiled and said, "Of course not, Lord Su was just giving an example."

"Besides, at my age, if I can really let go of my concubine at the age of twenty."

"Even if I want to, I don't have the strength to do it!"

Lin Ruofu's words immediately caused everyone in the court to burst into laughter.

Su Wenyi also responded with a smile: "Since Prime Minister Lin didn't say anything, who are you?"

"When will it be your turn to speak?"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to beat this man out with sticks!"

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "Okay!"

Immediately afterwards, several eunuchs rushed forward and took the man out.

After seeing the man being taken away, Su Wenyi turned around and continued, "Where were we talking about just now?"

"Oh yes, speaking of Prime Minister Lin's concubine, let's continue talking about that."

"If he bought a few thousand acres of good farmland, so what? If he did, he would be punished directly."

"Then find someone else. This person is not talented enough to be the prime minister."

"Which is more harmful, the disaster that will be caused or the greed for a small amount of money?"

“Therefore, I think capable corrupt officials, such as Prime Minister Lin, can be used!”

"But those who are capable should be severely punished if they are incapable!"

"Finally, when those capable corrupt officials have become well-fed and well-fed."

"Confiscate their property and exterminate their clan! Put that silver into the national treasury!"

"This will not only enrich the national treasury, but also make those corrupt officials work wholeheartedly."

After Su Wenyi finished speaking, the court fell into deathly silence once again.

If the previous words made everyone think that Su Wenyi was siding with those corrupt officials.

Taking the last sentence, it is to push those corrupt officials into hell completely!
To sum up Su Wenyi's words, there are only a few meanings.

Everyone can understand!

Su Wenyi stood there, thinking in his heart.

Haha, you want to embezzle from now on? You can, embezzle as much as you want!

As long as you have the ability, be greedy and take as much as you want.

I give you one million taels of silver to help with disaster relief. As long as you can get the job done, what's the harm if you swallow up 800,000 out of the one million? !

After you have done your job, I will find a reason to confiscate your property and exterminate your clan.

Once you get the job done, the money will naturally return to the national treasury after the property is confiscated. You'll have the best of both worlds!
For those corrupt officials, they have put in their effort and done their job, but they have also lost their lives and their families.

At this moment, even Lai Mingcheng didn't know what to say.

All the standing officials present, without exception, bowed their heads.

Instead, those who were sitting down looked at Su Wenyi with curiosity.

Some people looked at Su Wenyi with hatred, and naturally there were also people who looked at Su Wenyi with curiosity and appreciation.

For most corrupt officials, what they want to do most at this moment is to kill Su Wenyi!

Corrupt official: We just want your money, but you want our lives! No, you want the lives of our entire family!

Su Wenyi, you are so vicious!!!
Su Wenyi: Thank you for the compliment. I’ll give you the nickname Jiudu!
Lin Ruofu, who was sitting next to him, squinted his eyes and looked at Su Wenyi.

Lin Ruofu muttered with a half-smile: "What a poisonous scheme! If he doesn't make a move, it's fine, but once he makes a move, it's a poisonous scheme!"

"Now, those corrupt officials who want to embezzle money will have to think twice."

"However, this person said such words in front of all the civil and military officials."

"Afterwards, you will definitely suffer unprecedented retaliation!"

Qin Ye, who was beside Lin Ruofu, heard Lin Ruofu's words and said with admiration in his eyes: "This kid is ruthless enough!"

"A few words can make people hate you so much that their teeth itch!"

"But it is undeniable that his trick is useful!"

"I just don't know whether your butt is clean or not, Lin Xiang."

Lin Ruofu glanced at Qin Ye and said, "I take a bath twice a day."

Qin Ye sneered and said, "Oh, is it clean?"

Just as the two were whispering, Emperor Qing also noticed them.

Emperor Qing looked at the two and said, "Prime Minister Lin, General Qin, what do you two think of this strategy?"

Upon hearing Emperor Qing calling their names, the number one civil servant and the number one military officer stood up at the same time.

Lin Ruofu was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, Lord Su's plan is extremely vicious."

"But whether it is effective or not, I don't know!"

Compared to Lin Ruofu's nonsense that was like pushing the ball, Qin Ye was much more direct.

Qin Ye glanced at Su Wenyi and said, "Your Majesty, I only know how to lead troops to fight, and I don't know anything else."

"But, if during a war, someone embezzles the soldiers' wages."

"But he just wants to win the battle and keep his brothers alive."

"It's nothing to be greedy for a little money."
