But it is quite rare for a Legalist cultivator like Li Si who is alone but holds the power in the world.
"What is your majesty trying to do?"
"Even if it is a cronie... this promotion is too fast, even if the Southern Emperor promoted Xu Tiangang back then, it was not so fast."
Many people dare not accuse Lu Yu in person, but they only dare to talk about it in private.
These news also reached Lu Yu's ears through various channels, but Lu Yu ignored them.
His attention has been fully focused on the process of laying out the world. Yellow dog is right, the future is bumpy, but only by moving forward can we be able to look down on it. What's more, Wen Sheng and the two demon lords are willing to be his backers, and Lu Yu doesn't feel that he is alone.
Under Lu Yu's instruction, Li Si started a liquidation of the Xu family.
First, the Xu family members were convicted according to the crimes committed.
Second, all the land and property of the Xu family in the imperial capital were confiscated and confiscated.
At Li Si's request, the trial of the three judicial divisions was changed to a huge hall. Thousands of people were invited to watch the scene, and officials selected by the three judicial divisions conducted the trial.
In the past, the trial process was usually only carried out in the yamen, and outsiders could only watch from a distance, and could not see the situation inside at all.
But now, the three judicial divisions have specially set up jury seats in the hall, and everyone can watch the whole process of the trial up close, which is really eye-opening.
On the day of the trial, more than one million people signed up, and finally, under the review of the government, thousands of people were selected to participate in the jury.
The imperial court assured the world that the records of the trial that day would be recorded with a crystal ball and spread to all directions for exhibition.
There are many members of the Xu family, and the trial is only conducted on some of the detained members of the Xu family.
During the four-hour long trial, everyone watched intently.
Among them, there are two extremely controversial cases.
A military general of the Xu family with outstanding achievements, he once loved his subordinates and cared for the people, and had a very high voice among many sergeants. But it was such a person who was sentenced to exile because of selling officials and rank.
Another member of the Xu family, Xu Tiangang's cousin, was acquitted because he did not commit any crime.
As soon as the two incidents came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the imperial capital and even the entire heaven.
"Since ancient times, it has been common for emperors to kill the nine clans, but why did they let the Xu family go?"
"All trials are conducted in accordance with the law. It seems that His Majesty is destined to bring the legalists to the front."
With the spread of the crystal ball, this kind of trial method has also been popularized by the world.
Compared with the public trial, there is another thing that really made the whole heaven a sensation.
Everyone saw that countless officials rushed into the Xu family's house and began to search their homes.
It took five days for the Xu family's property to be counted, and the property held by the Xu family in the Imperial Capital was an astonishing number.
That was the total amount of taxation for two years during the heyday of the Dayu Heavenly Dynasty!
This is just the wealth left by the Xu family in the imperial capital. Before that, the Xu family had already transferred most of their property.
Everyone was secretly shocked, the Xu family was indeed a giant, and it was an existence that was rich enough to rival the country.
Lu Yu ordered people to put all the money into the treasury, and at the same time asked the Xu family to select a new head of the family and declare allegiance to the imperial court.
