Zhang Quanyi, a capable minister who was one of the best in the reclaiming of desert land and governing agricultural affairs during the Five Dynasties and the First Two Dynasties, was still based on his original trajectory. After he was respected and enjoyed high officials and generous salaries, he gradually became a corrupt official who was lazy and lazy.

Li Tianqu naturally knew that Zhang Quanyi's experience in governing an official in the first half of his life was completely different from his later years. At that time, he was able to manage the people's livelihood and was a capable official who was satisfied with the only one who was satisfied with the good mai and Jiacoon;

But when he went to the official history line to surrender to the Later Tang Dynasty, he was highly respected because he bribed Li Cunxu's wife Empress Liu and recognized her as her adopted daughter. When he was managing local government affairs, he had already degenerated into a completely confused corrupt official. According to historical records, "Any people's lawsuits are justified by the people who first complain, but because many people are useless and injustice, it is wrong for the times."

Especially Zhang Quanyi's case of falsely accusing Luo Guan of the local county magistrate Luo Guan was completely consistent with the official history. He still slandered Li Cunxu through the goddaughter of Empress Liu, but he was just a local county magistrate. Li Cunxu did not know the details, so he criticized the memorial to execute Luo Guan, but it turned out to be "the voice of injustice, and it was heard from the distance"...

This can basically be seen that although Luo Guan was just a county magistrate, he was also a righteous and honest official, so after being wronged, the people would be criticized and complained about him. However, Luo Guan was unwilling to curry favor with the powerful and powerful, which made Zhang Quanyi angry, and even confused Hei and wanted to murder his subordinates.

Li Tianqu sneered, thinking that Zhang Quanyi didn't know that he had begun to plan to kill Luo Guan unjustly. He thought that the emperor was busy with all kinds of things, so how could he care whether the county magistrate of Heyang's territory really committed a crime? He must have deceived him... But Zhang Quanyi did this, but it was equivalent to reminding his lord, and it was time to take action against him...

Originally, Li Tianqu had already begun to consider and let the high-ranking officials in the court who were in power and increasingly rampant to use their power to seek private use. The greater the impact on the officialdom and the people, it was almost time to start to close the Internet and rectify it. Since Zhang Quanyi had intended to frame the loyal and good people, he had to take action and no longer had to wait.

Li Tianqu was also very clear that in addition to Zhang Quanyi, the important officials and his followers who also wanted to clean up the target of rectification were also cunning. If Zhang Quanyi was attacked, they would inevitably alarm them... So since it is inevitable that the target of the traitors in the court would not be one or two people, but would involve a large-scale purge of many court and local officials.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Tianqu spoke slowly and said in a deep voice:

"Gao Yu took advantage of the fact that he was in charge of property and taxation, and had already cultivated and won over a large number of officials. I had clearly warned him, but Gao Yu was greedy and wealthy, and he was still in a state of affairs. He secretly sent his minions to merge land, occupy huge amounts of land, and set up a wide range of pastoral mansions. He still thought he could deceive me... It was even more convenient for his position, using the business and government orders to fill his personal pockets. If the officials and families in the jail of Tang Dynasty were begging, borrowing, engaging in, and selling and buying were surplus profits, don't say that he would be deposed, which would be enough to sentence him to death thousands of times...

Li Zhen formed a clique for personal gain, repeatedly impeached officials of the court and prefecture, and often made a mistake in suppressing dissidents. I took the Tang Dynasty as a lesson and had already set up laws to prohibit the conspiracy between ministers and friends, especially suppressing dissidents. Li Zhen was still aware of his crimes. He was vindictive and would never tolerate colleagues who were disagreeable with his political views. Even if he had made great contributions in the past, he was now a disaster in the court. Just based on the evidence collected so far, it was enough to make him and his fellow disciples go to justice..."

Although it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang established the crime of treason in the "Da Ming Law" to prevent the ministers from taking power and making tyrants and forming party support... However, the Niu and Li party struggles in the late Tang Dynasty also intensified factional conflicts and confrontations in the court, and it was one of the important reasons for the government to fall into the vassal states and governors who held military power everywhere. Of course, the Wei Dynasty officials who were in the political officialdom were very clear about these things.

Therefore, Li Tianqu learned from it and established relevant laws to supervise whether there are officials who have formed gangs for personal gain, and deliberately wanted factional opposition to suppress political enemies. This is of course reasonable.

Although the crime of traitorous party established by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty was intended to consolidate the power of the emperor, he was unambiguous when he cleaned up the heads, but the standard for conviction was ambiguous. This also led to the eunuchs repeatedly slaughtering prisons in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and wanted to kill important officials unjustly... Li Tianqu also believed that it was a warning and attached great importance to the details of laws and regulations. The evidence of the legislative crime of forming a party must be conclusive. Not only should the leader of the party be determined, but the actual evidence of falsely slaughtering and attacking colleagues in the court should be grasped. Only after reaching a certain level can the emperor Zhu Biyu be criticized and thoroughly investigated and rectified.

A long time ago, Li Tianqu used the Patrol Guards' Office to send secret spies to track down and collect Li Zhenpeng's party members and attack dissidents. With the evidence currently available, it was already enough to convict him.

Zhang Juhan, who was standing beside him, heard Li Tianqu's tone with a little murderous intent, and his expression changed. After all, there were powerful ministers in the court who intended to bribe the emperor's close ministers, deceived the superiors and subordinates by bribing money, and used his power to seek personal gain... However, Zhang Juhan chose Wang Bingen as the minister of the eunuch according to Li Tianqu's secret order, and obtained the conclusive evidence of the crimes of a large number of ministers. The emperor was preparing to carry out a major purge of the court. He was one of the few insiders long ago.

It can be expected that Zhang Juhan knew very well that it would be a bloody storm to purge the court and local officials. Zhang Quanyi, Gao Yu, and Li Zhen and other important officials and powerful officials have attracted a large number of officials and followers. His lord was already planning to kill them in one fell swoop. This rectification and purging would involve a large number of ministers, and I am afraid that the people would be killed...

However, even if Zhang Juhan is kind-hearted, he is not a bad person with a lot of hearts.

In the official history, he dared to risk beheading and secretly changed the edict and saved more than a thousand lives that had nothing to do with him. It was also because the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed Former Shu. Li Cunxu first promised to spare Wang Yan, the son of Wang Jian, and his family and his followers not to kill them. Then he believed that the actor Jing Jin had slandered him and not to kill them. He not only wanted to kill Wang Yan's whole family, but also wanted to kill hundreds of officials in the Former Shu. When the servants in the palace were killed, he changed the edict and saved more than a thousand people who could not change the result of the Later Tang's destruction of Shu.

Now his lord's decision to clear the powerful and powerful ministers and followers in the court is also for the stability of the Wei Dynasty. If the tyrant party and powerful people are allowed to continue to rage, shake the foundation of the country and cause chaos in the world, it will also affect the people under his rule... Zhang Juhan is certainly aware of these principles. Although he still feels a little unbearable, he will not reveal his lord's plan for the tyrant party...

After all, it is a good thing to rectify the rules and regulations, making the court clear and clear, and to the country and the people...

Zhang Juhan was thinking in his heart, but Li Tianqu remembered something again, and then ordered:

"I ordered Xiaohuangmen to go to the Patrol Guards Office, and it was said that Zhang Xiao came to see him. Now I have to start a thorough investigation and rectification of Gao Yu, Li Zhen, Zhang Quanyi and even the traitors. However, before taking action, I will also learn about the political achievements and actions of a minister named Feng Dao over the years..."
