Chapter 226

Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Gu Shanhe waved his hand, and the supplies in the system space, under the flash of a white light, instantly appeared on the square.

Mountains of salt, instant noodles, generators, and those "thousand-mile voice transmission" walkie-talkies piled up on the palace square.

These things dazzled Liu Bang and his ministers; they were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, surrounding them, touching this, looking at that, and letting out exclamations from time to time.

Xiao He held a copy of "Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art Annotation" (modern version), his hands shaking like he had a cramp, muttering to himself:

"Original method… equations… this… this solution is so exquisite!"

"Immortal Master, the way of calculation in this book far exceeds the 'Zhou Bi'!"

Fan Kuai hugged a box of braised beef noodles, his nose sniffing hard at the gap in the box, drool almost flowing out.

"Fragrant! It's really damn fragrant!"

"Immortal Master, how do you eat these noodles?"

"Tear open the packaging, pour in the seasoning, and soak it with boiling water," Gu Shanhe explained.

Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, and others circled around those diesel generators and solar panels; although they couldn't understand them, they felt that these iron lumps and blue boards must be powerful.

Cao Can was more pragmatic; he was already counting the number of salt bags, calculating how much tax these salts could cover and how much grain they could be exchanged for.

Liu Bang was smiling so hard his eyes were squinting, rubbing his hands and circling around Gu Shanhe.

"Immortal Master, look, you came, and you brought so many generous gifts; this is so embarrassing…"

"That, these iron lumps that can emit light, and those small boxes for thousand-mile voice transmission, can you give us a few more?"

"Our Han palace spends a lot of oil on lamps at night, and sending orders requires running horses to death…"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly from the side: "Look at your lack of ambition."

"The National Master takes out a few things, and it's enough to make you happy for half a year. Learn how to use them properly, don't waste heaven's gifts."

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Zheng's lesson is correct!"

Liu Bang wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he apologized with a smile.

"Your little brother will definitely learn well from the Immortal Master and learn well from Brother Zheng!"

Gu Shanhe looked at this scene and felt that the atmosphere had been built up enough.

Just giving sweets isn't enough; one must also appropriately knock them down a peg, especially Liu Bang and his group of meritorious officials who had just won the world and were inevitably a bit inflated.

Moreover, he had another idea, wanting to take the opportunity to make another profit… oh no, it was to make another contribution to the common people of the world, and by the way, see the reactions of the emperors of various dynasties.

He smiled slightly and said to Ying Zheng and Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, King of Han. I am a newcomer, and I have nothing to offer as a sign of respect. Besides these trivial things, I have also prepared a… special gift."

"I invite the two of you, and those with fate in this world, to watch together."

"Oh? What wonderful thing does the National Master have?" Ying Zheng became interested.

Liu Bang's eyes lit up even more: "Immortal Master, please! What kind of treasure is it?"

Gu Shanhe didn't speak, but sank his consciousness into the system, directly spending two million emotional points to redeem two leaderboard generation permissions.

He used one of them first.

"Go!"

He imitated his appearance in Xianyang before, holding it up with his right hand, and then threw it into the air!

A golden light flew out from his palm, rushing toward the sky over Chang'an City, growing with the wind, and unfolding with a boom!

In an instant, the entire Chang'an City, and even the entire sky, was shrouded in a vast golden light!

A golden leaderboard, even larger and more majestic than the one that appeared in Xianyang, carrying a chilling aura of judgment, spanned across the nine heavens, as if the heavens had opened their eyes to examine the human world!

On the list were ten murderous gilded characters:

【Heavenly Dao Gold List · Top Ten Corrupt Officials in History】

Below the large characters was a line of cold and ruthless small character annotations:

【This inventory of ancient and modern mega-corrupt officials is ranked according to the magnitude of their corruption, the depth of their harm to the country, and the severity of their harm to the people. Those on the list, whether alive or dead, will all be punished by the Heavenly Dao to serve as a warning to others!】

"Corrupt official list?!"

Ying Zheng's pupils shrank, and then a look of extreme interest appeared on his face, even carrying a sense of gratification.

"Good! A good corrupt official list! What I hate most in my life are these rats who hollow out the national treasury and suck the blood and sweat of the people!"

"The National Master's list is very satisfying to me!"

"I want to see which bastards dare to embezzle my… dare to embezzle the blood and sweat of the people of the world!"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat.

Corrupt officials?

His old brothers, Xiao He, Cao Can, and these people are fine, but among the others who followed him to fight and were granted titles, how many are completely clean?

He felt a bit guilty, but didn't show it on his face, and also clapped his hands: "Good! The Immortal Master's list is well made! It's time to deal with those corrupt officials! I… I also hate corrupt officials the most!"

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Xiao He, Fan Kuai, and others behind him.

Xiao He's expression was as usual, Cao Can frowned slightly, and Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, and others exchanged glances.

Fan Kuai scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "Corrupt official? Old Fan didn't embezzle; I just got an extra good horse during the last battle…"

In all the time and space of the myriad worlds, all the dynasties that could see the sky screen exploded at this moment!

Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Fu Su, who had already ascended the throne, looked at the sky screen with a serious expression:

"Corrupt officials are the great pests of the country. The appearance of this list can serve as a warning to the officials of the world!"

Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu's period.

Liu Che was hunting in the Shanglin Garden. Seeing the sky screen, he immediately reined in his horse, his eyes sharp as knives: "Corrupt officials? Hmph, my embroidered-uniform envoys are just lacking a few targets."

"I want to see which people in later generations are not afraid of death and dare to touch my empire!"

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin was discussing state affairs with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and others. Seeing the corrupt official list, his face sank: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"Corrupt officials are the insects that eat the boat! Xuanling, Keming, our dynasty's official governance needs to be further rectified!"

Wu Zhou, Shendu Luoyang.

Wu Zetian sat high in the Mingtang, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Corrupt officials? If that fellow Li Yifu were here, he would probably be on the list."

"Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing, keep a close eye on me. If there are any who dare to imitate, punish them severely!"

Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing, who were below, hurriedly bowed, a bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes.

Song Dynasty, Taizong period.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the sky screen and sighed to Prime Minister Zhao Pu:

"I govern the country with literature and treat the scholar-officials generously, but if anyone relies on favor to be corrupt, I will not tolerate it!"

Yuan, Dadu.

Kublai Khan frowned as he looked at the Chinese characters on the sky screen and said to the Han officials beside him: "Corruption ruins state affairs and should be killed!"

Ming Dynasty, Nanjing Forbidden City.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was the most intense.

He stood up from the dragon chair with a "thump," his face ashen, his teeth clattering, and his eyes spewing monstrous anger and hatred!

"Corrupt officials! Corrupt officials!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was hoarse with excitement. He slammed his fist on the imperial desk, shaking the pen holder and inkstone.

"My father! My mother! My eldest brother! They were all forced to death by those damn corrupt officials and those man-eating years!"

"When I was a monk begging for food, which of those officials looked at me straight? Which one cared about the life and death of us common people?! They only knew how to loot! Loot to death!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. His chest heaved violently. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist, a cold light flashed, and he fiercely chopped off a corner of the imperial desk!

"Kill! They should be killed! All of them should be killed!"

"The sky screen's inventory is good! Let everyone in the world see what kind of end those jackals in human skin have!"

"I want to see which grandsons dare to embezzle my Zhu family's… dare to embezzle the life-saving money of the common people!"

Empress Ma hurriedly comforted him from the side: "Chongba, calm down, take care of your dragon body…"

But her eyes were also red, remembering the hardships of her early years.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Prince of Yan Zhu Di, and other princes, as well as Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Liu Bowen, and other important ministers, were all silent as cicadas.

They knew too well the emperor's hatred for corrupt officials. In the Hongwu Dynasty, were there few officials who were skinned and stuffed with grass or had their nine clans implicated because of corruption?

This sky screen corrupt official list was simply pouring a bucket of oil on the fire in the emperor's heart!
