"Those who flout the law, protect one another among officials, and oppress the common people shall all be severely punished."
"If any minister in the court is found complicit, there shall be no mercy." Ying Zheng gazed down upon the court, his voice cold and stern.
The matter of annual salaries, the foundation of a million elite soldiers, is also the cornerstone of Qin.
Ying Zheng would never allow corrupt officials to shake the nation's very roots.
This time, he was truly and genuinely enraged.
"Your servant accepts the edict."
Yu Liao and Li Si immediately obeyed the command.
At this moment,
Many in the court already felt unease in their hearts.
Since ancient times,
If water is too clear, there will be no fish.
No matter the state, corrupt officials will always exist.
For such is human nature—none can be saints alike.
