    "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has carried out some internal purges in recent days. At present, three directors and five deputy directors have been dismissed for review. In addition, more than a dozen principals have also been arrested."

    Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, was also furious this time, and carried out a large-scale rectification of the various offices of the Ministry of War.

    "And the Ministry of War has sent fifteen inspection teams to the Fifth Field Army, the Tenth Field Army, the Second Field Army, and the No. 7 Secret Base to carry out inspections and rectifications."

    After hearing the report from Zhang Xingbang, the commander of Jinyiwei, Chen Ziang, the emperor of the empire, also showed a smile on his face.

    This time he uncharacteristically did not punish Li Qiye, the head of the Ministry of War, which was actually done on purpose.

    Li Qiye is an old man with great achievements, and he is the leading court official in the Far East Empire.

    If Li Qiye, the head of the Ministry of War, is replaced by a new person, then the Ministry of War will be in turmoil for at least half a year.

    Now the Far Eastern Empire is recuperating internally, but outside is still surrounded by wolves, so the Ministry of War, an important department, cannot withstand turmoil.

    Of course, there is also a reason for this and Jin Yiwei's secret investigation report. The investigation report shows that Li Qiye was only deceived by others, and he himself did not participate in it.

    So Chen Ziang just beat Li Qiye, the right-hand man, and the beating was only a few verbal criticisms.

    But for Li Qiye, if Chen Ziang dealt with him seriously, he would feel at ease.

    Chen Ziang raised it so high and put it down gently, which made him feel grateful, but also realized that Chen Ziang gave him a chance to correct his mistakes.

    That's why Li Qiye made great efforts to purge the Ministry of War. Seeing what Li Qiye did, Chen Ziang was also very satisfied. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

    He is now the emperor of the Far East Empire, and he knows that sometimes it is not enough to rely on fighting and killing, and sometimes the desired effect cannot be achieved.

    This time, letting Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, do it himself is better than sending someone from outside to cause turmoil in the Ministry of War.

    And he doesn't move Li Qiye like he did with Han Feng. Li Qiye will naturally be grateful to him, and instead will work harder to make suggestions for the empire.

    "President Li divorced his second wife," added Zhang Xingbang, commander of Jinyiwei.

    After hearing this, Chen Ziang was also taken aback. He did not expect that Li Qiye would be able to cut off the wrists of a strong man so decisively. After all, the second wife is Li Qiye's favorite woman.

    "It's fine if you take a break, but it's a disaster if such a greedy and dissatisfied woman stays by your side." Chen Ziang joked.

    "Master Pang Lun, Chief of the Ministry of Rites, Master Cao, President of the Oversight Council, and Lord Chen, Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, are running around, encouraging all yamen to write a letter to remove Chief Li." Commander Zhang Xingbang continued.

    After looking at Chen Ziang, Zhang Xingbang finally said: "I heard from the gossip that there is Master Qin, the Chief of the Ministry of Officials behind the scenes."

    "Master Yue, the Chief of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, heard that he had collected some bribes from officials of the Ministry of Officials, and he planned to launch an attack on the Ministry of Officials at the court meeting."

    After Chen Zi'ang heard the news, instead of being unhappy because they were tearing each other down, a smile appeared on his face.

    In the past, all departments were amiable, at least on the surface, they were all united and generally unwilling to offend others.

    This time, Qin An, the head of the Ministry of Officials, took the lead in impeaching Li Qiye's nepotism and other matters. Although it was a matter of fact, it was a good start and broke the current harmonious situation in the court.

    The head of the Ministry of Punishment, Yue Shan, was born in the army, and he has good friends with Li Qiye, the head of the military department.

    He collected some corruption and abuse of the law by officials of the Ministry of Officials and prepared to launch an attack at the meeting. It was probably Li Qiye's secret instruction, which was regarded as a counterattack against Qin An.

    Thinking of the various ministries of the imperial court starting to confront each other, Chen Ziang was rather happy, because in this way, they could supervise each other, and many people would be afraid of doing things.

    Moreover, the members of the imperial court are united in harmony with each other, and his position is not stable. Now that they are blowing their beards and staring at each other, he, Chen Ziang, is more stable, and there is no need to worry about them joining forces to seize power.

    After the commander of Jinyiwei Zhang Xingbang left, Du Jian, the director of the intelligence investigation institute, was summoned alone.

    There is not much difference between what Du Jian, the dean of the intelligence and investigation institute, reported to Jin Yiwei, except for some differences in details.

    ? Obtained mutual evidence from the two departments, Chen ZiangIt can also grasp the situation more realistically and avoid being deceived by others.

    "Is there any news about the escaped craftsman Xie Rong?"

    After listening to Du Jian's report, Chen Ziang asked the escaped craftsman Xie Rong with concern.

    "Information shows that he has fled to the territory of the Hanhai Dynasty, and it was the hidden guards of the Hanhai Dynasty who escorted him to escape."

    "Our people launched an interception on his way to Wangcheng, but there were too many people in Hanhai, and the protection of him was too tight. We failed. We are mobilizing the second batch of people and will kill him as soon as possible."  Du Jiandao.

    Chen Ziang thought for a while and ordered: "Since they are prepared, let the people from the Operations Executive Department stop chasing and killing them, and don't cause unnecessary casualties."

    After all, the territory of the Hanhai Dynasty is not as good as the territory of the Far East. It is the territory of the enemy. Even though the intelligence and investigation institute is very strong, the strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snake.

    Especially when the enemy is prepared, even if the intelligence investigation institute pays huge casualties, it may not be able to complete the task, but will lose their manpower in the vast sea.

    Moreover, Chen Ziang felt that the gunpowder technology would leak out sooner or later, it was only a matter of time, after all, they had used sky thunders on the battlefield many times, which had already attracted the attention of the enemy, and they would definitely try to obtain it.

    Since they can't stop it at the source, the top priority now is to continuously improve the way of use and increase the power. This is what they need to pay attention to.

    This time the leak of gunpowder technology, although the defection of the craftsman Xie Rong deserved death, in fact Chen Ziang felt that the root cause was still with them.

    In particular, they were negligent in supervising such a secret arsenal, causing officials to oppress craftsmen, which led to such things happening.

    If their craftsmen enjoy a good treatment, such a thing will not happen.

    Chen Ziang also made a deep reflection, that is, he decided to improve the treatment of craftsmen.

    When Chen Ziang made this decision secretly, many people in the imperial capital were implicated because of this incident.

    In particular, almost all the officials of the No. 5 Arsenal were arrested, and many people in the Ministry of War were also implicated, and some were even senior members of the fourth rank and third rank.

    Among them, there are also people with deep backgrounds such as the chief executive Li Qiye's brother-in-law Ma Fengqi who have been detained.

    Pang Lun, chief of the Ministry of Rites, has been very busy these days. He received Qin An's instruction, and he went around to instigate people to impeach Li Qiye and others.

    Of course, their purpose is not to really want to pull Li Qiye down, but to create a situation where the heads of various ministries are at odds.

    Such a situation is conducive to their survival, and they will not be suspected by the emperor Chen Ziang.

    Sure enough, although Pang Lun and the others continued to impeach, Chen Ziang suppressed and ignored them, deliberately keeping Li Qiye and them to check and balance each other.

    Of course, Pang Lun is also a smart person, and he knows that some things should be done in moderation. If he continues to jump around, it will cause Chen Ziang's displeasure.

    So after several times of impeachment without response, he also knew that he had achieved his goal, so he also died down, and the tumultuous situation in the imperial capital became quiet again.

    When Pang Lun was free, he was notified that Chen Ziang wanted to summon him.

    After receiving the news, Pang Lun, the head of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly felt uneasy.

    Could it be that the emperor was angered by his impeachment of Li Qiye?

    After thinking of this, Pang Lun even broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he was indeed playing with fire this time.

    However, when Chen Ziang asked a question, Pang Lun realized that he was overthinking and frightened himself.

    "The incident at Arsenal No. 5 has caused huge losses to the empire. Many people will be beheaded for public display. In order to achieve the effect of warning education, your Ministry of Rites must make some preparations in advance."

    "Please make it clear, Your Majesty." Pang Lun said modestly.

    "Others say that family ugliness should not be publicized, but I am not afraid of family ugliness being publicized. The major newspapers can write about how those corrupt officials are obsequious and violating the law. Let all the people know and let them also assist in supervision  "

    "And let the rest of the officials understand that once they have committed corruption and violated the law, not only their colleagues, but also the whole world will know, so that they will be afraid." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com  com
