"But doing so only addresses the symptoms and not the root, and the impact is limited, it’s useless."
After a long ti, Liu Sheng spoke.
The foundation of Great Yu has always been rooted in families, and the current Imperial Family was the forr Qin Family.
Among many families at the ti, the Qin Family stood out by controlling various lifelines of the Eastern Continent.
Then they allied with other top families, which ultimately led to the change of dynasty.
"Take it one step at a ti, you can’t beco fat in one bite."
"It’s been so many years; it’s impossible to change in a short ti."
He, Zhan Tian, is not a god.
In the thorny matters of Yu Imperial City, what else can he do?
Taking one step at a ti, as for the final outco, it’s not sothing he can control.
As long as he is clear in conscience.
"By the way, the Ritual Departnt needs to stir as well."
"What do you an?"
Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows; what should the Ritual Departnt stir?
"Corruption in various departnts! This is Your Majesty’s intention."
"Your Majesty intends to first kill a batch to set an example, deter those families, and finally recover those important resources step by step."
"This...."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
If Zhan Tian was just causing a little stir, then this would be touching the lifeline of those families.
Now he also felt an enormous pressure.
"Old Liu, Your Majesty is determined, do you know how much is spent daily on suppressing those dangerous places?"
"Great Yu’s treasury is almost empty."
"If we don’t act now, and those places cannot be suppressed, Great Yu will be in danger."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded; as a giant of Great Yu, how could he not know? Those few dangerous places have been stirring for years, and the daily consumption of spirit stones just by the array is massive.
But the mining rights for these spirit stones are all in the hands of those families.
No one knows how many spirit stones have been swallowed by these families.
"It’s ti to investigate thoroughly."
Liu Sheng spoke with difficulty; the pressure within is imaginable—even standing at the pinnacle of Great Yu, this matter isn’t easy.
Speaking of the Liu Family... This kind of thing hasn’t been lacking either.
"Looks like I need to make the first cut myself."
Liu Sheng looked at Zhan Tian, smiling bitterly.
"Then you’re overthinking; the Ritual Departnt can’t wield this knife?"
Zhan Tian smiled at him.
"What do you an...?"
"The Ritual Departnt just handles the investigation, the Three Judicial Departnts are responsible for stability, as for wielding the knife... It has to be the Shadow Guard, after all, they’ve offended too many people over the years, a few more won’t matter, the Shadow Guard is most suitable for this knife."
The Ritual Departnt, Three Judicial Departnts, and Shadow Guard—the three biggest forces of Great Yu acting together—their days won’t be easy now.
"It’s Your Majesty’s thoughtful planning."
Liu Sheng smiled, understanding Emperor Yu’s determination in his heart.
Of course, this also proves the treasury is truly drained to the extre.
Slaughter the pig for New Year!
Suddenly, these four words popped into his mind.
"Alas!"
Liu Sheng sighed long, "For years I’ve hardly managed the Liu Family, now who knows how many people from the Liu Family will curse ."
"Haha! Anyway, I’m fine."
Zhan Tian shrugged, he’s a lone old man, and that’s why he’s so reckless, without any worries.
No one wants to offend such a person.
"Moreover, your Liu Family has been relying on your na for years, hasn’t benefited little, it’s enough."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded.
This point he naturally knows, but personally setting hands on his own family... Alas.
Feeling quite helpless.
After all, he’s surnad Liu, without the Liu Family, there wouldn’t be today’s Chief Eunuch Liu.
He’s still a bit reluctant.
"Alright, you look like you’re dying, aren’t you saving the Liu Family by making a cut to it?"
Zhan Tian pursed his lips.
If you can’t see this, you’ve truly lived in vain.
"You know nothing!"
Liu Sheng glared, directly cursing him.
He’s a lone old man, how would he understand these?
However, Emperor Yu probably saw this point, which is why he let him take the first step in doing this.
"Oh, by the way, you’re not the only Liu family in the Imperial City; there’s another one!"
Having said that, Zhan Tian started smiling mischievously.
Imperial City Double Liu.
Liu Daoxin, one of the Three Dukes.
Liu Sheng, Chief of the Ritual Departnt.
These two are known as Imperial City Double Liu, and both Liu families are the top families in the Imperial City.
Suddenly, Liu Sheng understood his aning, laughed and cursed, "You old fool, your mind is still as narrow as when you were young."
"But isn’t this abusing power for personal gain, settling old scores?"
"Of course!"
Zhan Tian showed no hesitation in front of him.
Liu Daoxin repeatedly challenged the Three Judicial Departnts, Zhan Tian has long been displeased, but being one of the Three Dukes, Zhan Tian couldn’t do much against Liu Daoxin.
Now the opportunity has finally arrived, of course, he won’t miss it.
"I’m not greedy or lustful, isn’t much better than those people?"
Indeed compared to those, Zhan Tian is entirely unstained by mud, countless tis better.
"You’re truly shaless!"
Liu Sheng shook his head, having seen Zhan Tian’s shalessness long ago.
But the two are of one accord.
"Got it, just consider it as old avenging for you."
"However..."
Liu Sheng paused, the smile on his face instantly fading, "The Three Judicial Departnts must suppress it, otherwise Great Yu would be in chaos!"
"Chaos?"
A chilling aura suddenly erupted from Zhan Tian, "Then kill!"
Serious illness requires potent dicine!
Who dares behave recklessly, kill without rcy!
Liu Sheng looked at this old companion, this murderous intent reminds him of the ti in the dangerous place, when he single-handedly went into the Stone Cave, leaving the Stone Race slaughtered everywhere.
That was the true Zhan Tian.
"This ti I wonder how many people will be killed."
