Peerless Taoist

Li Si was slightly surprised, but then he realized, "So it is them. This Hero Club was created by the Song Clan."    

"However, other than protecting the disciples of the clans, they didn't do anything else. I didn't care too much about it."    

"Not do anything excessive? They are about to affect the official system of Great Qin. How serious is that?" Lu Yu said in a deep voice.    

Hearing this, Li Si's eyes immediately lit up. "Your Majesty, are they going to make a move on the Heroic Club?"    

With his hands behind his back, Lu Yu looked at the moonlight outside the window of the Imperial Study and said lightly, "I know that ever since I publicly abolished my protection, many people feel that I am unreasonable, so they will use some secret methods to protect their own family's disciples."    

"But have you ever thought about whether this is really fair?"    

"Take the promotion system as an example. Even if the County Magistrate of the lowest rank gets an A grade every year, it will take him at least three years to get a promotion."    

"If a County Magistrate wants to become a County Magistrate, he will need six consecutive years to get an A grade before he is qualified. It is precisely because of this harshness that these magistrates are able to care for their people, unlike the magistrates of the Middle Ages, who shut themselves up in their rooms and cultivate."    

"However, if there is any protection, these rules won't work anymore."    

"A man who has made some achievements in the local area is going to be promoted, but the chance to be promoted is occupied by a son of a noble family. After a long time, who would actually do something? All they do is to flatter and flatter the noble clans. "    

"Li Si, you are a Legalist, and the reason why I made you the Grand Secretary and made the Board of Punishments the head of the Six Bureaus in place of the Bureau of Personnel was so that you could use the strict methods of the Bureau of Punishments to restrain these people."    

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Li Si's heart trembled.    

"I will use torture to shock their hearts."    

Li Si said in a deep voice, "I understand."    

Lu Yu nodded his head: "Song Qingfeng can be considered an old official. Back then, he had contributed to guarding the Heavenly Rushing Current Gate, but his contributions cannot be compensated. Whoever breaks the rules must be punished according to the rules."    

"Let him go to the Barbarian Border and become a county governor."    

The county governor was a local official. In terms of rank, he could be ranked from the sixth grade to the fifth grade. He was ranked according to the size of the county he belonged to.    

Song Qingfeng used to be a high official in the Ministry of Personnel, but now he had become a small county governor, not to mention in a desolate place like the Barbarian Land.    

One must know that Prince Jing and Prince Kang had been banished to the Barbarian Border because they had secretly murdered Lu Yu.    

Now that Song Qingfeng was there, there was no chance for him to make a comeback.    

"Yes, your highness!"    

Li Si's heart skipped a beat. He thought that as a legal expert, he was ruthless enough. He did not expect Lu Yu to be even more ruthless.    

However, this was enough to intimidate the court.    

With a heavy heart, Li Si bid farewell to Lu Yu and pushed open the door to the Imperial Study.    

He did not expect to see a woman walking towards him as soon as he pushed open the door.    

"The young lady of the Chu Family?" Li Si was slightly surprised, but he immediately bowed and left.    

The person was Chu Yuyan.    

"Yu Ruo, why are you here?" Lu Yu was a little surprised.    

This was the Imperial Study Room, the place where the Emperor worked. Usually, Chu Yu Ruo would not come here.    

However, Chu Yuyan revealed an anxious expression and said, "Lu Yu, can you help me?"    

"The Chu Family's medicine store is in a lot of trouble. Not only did the people from the Xianyang Palace seal the family's medicine store, but even the shopkeeper's aunt was taken away."    

"I think there must be a misunderstanding. The people from Xianyang Palace didn't let me interfere. Could you tell them and let me investigate?"
