Chapter 183: Five Kills Order
Xiao Chen took his personal guard Li Yuanba and came to the outside of the main hall surrounded by a large number of officials.
At this time, Yan Qing was leading the army, at the bottom of the stone steps, to detain the late court officials.
The late official, who was originally full of anger and was arguing with Yan Qing, saw Xiao Chen come out, and suddenly roared at him as if the creditor had found the debtor.
"Emperor, what do you mean, why did you send these people to arrest me, what mistake did I make. ”
"Emperor, you have just ascended the throne and killed ministers indiscriminately to exclude dissidents, are you right about the ancestors of the Great Zhou royal family?"
"Colleagues, are you just watching this little emperor kill his courtiers indiscriminately? Look at it, the front of this Jinluan Palace is stained red with blood!"
Before these officials came to the Jinluan Palace, they saw the officials who were escorted out of the main hall and killed in front of the palace, and they were immediately angry and panicked.
It's a pity that these officials who came out with Xiao Chen dodged their eyes and didn't look at them.
Looking at these righteous and awe-inspiring court officials, Xiao Chen only felt funny in his heart.
If you don't know the details of these people, Xiao Chen may really think that these people are loyal ministers, and it is really touching to look at the appearance of all of them who are not afraid of power and give righteous advice.
Xiao Chen waved his hand, and Yan Qing's soldiers stopped arresting these officials, but still surrounded them.
"Hmph, you can still see the situation. ”
Guo Congjian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, straightened his clothes, and looked up at Xiao Chen with a proud face.
"Emperor, now we can go in! ”
An old man with gray hair trembled and said, this is the Ministry of Rites, and he is also one of the most senior people in the court.
However, Xiao Chen did not let go of them as they thought, but stood on the steps with an inexplicable face, looking down at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what crime you have committed?"
Feng Wei and others asked this question is a little inexplicable.
Today is your first court meeting, what crime can we commit?
"I would like to ask, Your Majesty, what crime have we committed?" Guo Congjian asked with a sneer.
Xiao Chen didn't answer, but asked Shen Changwen, who was following him, "Lord Shen, tell me, what crime did they commit?"
Shen Changwen felt a little confused by Xiao Chen's sudden inquiry.
I didn't do anything!
However, he was also frightened by Xiao Chen's previous murder without blinking, and he didn't have the courage not to answer.
Otherwise, I don't know what hat I will be put on?
He stubbornly walked to Xiao Chen's side and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks, thinks, that they should have committed the crime of delay, right?"
"Delay?"
A ridiculous thought flashed through Guo Congjian's mind, how can this be considered a crime?
"Your Majesty, since we have all committed the crime of delay, the minister is here to accompany you, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive you. ”
Although he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's indiscriminate conviction, how could people not bow their heads under the eaves, and accommodate him first.
Guo Congjian felt that he could apologize to Xiao Chen, which was already enough to give him face.
"I'll be late, please forgive your majesty!"
The other late courtiers pretended to bow down and apologize to Xiao Chen.
"Forgiveness?"
Xiao Chen sneered and said to Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, all these rebels who resisted the decree will be killed on the spot. ”
What? This is going to kill?
Guo Congjian was shocked in his heart, raised his head and roared angrily: "Emperor, what do you mean, there is no law in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will be executed if you are late, you are guilty of chaos and peace, I don't accept it!"
Feng Wei also protested: "Emperor, just because of this little thing, you are going to put all of us to death, you are a faint king's move, how to serve the public!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are talking! You can't let the emperor mess around, otherwise there are still some rules in the Great Zhou. ”
It's just that what makes them desperate is that these courtiers who play the tricks of advancing and retreating with them on weekdays, fighting against the emperor, and playing supernatural games, all bowed their heads, and no one stood up to defend them.
Even Shen Changwen stood back in the ranks of the courtiers, avoiding their gaze and not looking at them.
"The law of the Great Zhou? Do you still know the law of the Great Zhou?"
At this time, Xiao Chen's cold voice sounded, attracting all the attention of the courtiers.
"Guo Shangshu, do you know what kind of crime is in the law of the Great Zhou. ”
Xiao Chen stood on the steps, looking down at Guo Congjian with an indifferent face.
"Resist the decree and kill, but when will I resist the decree?" Guo Congjian stared at Xiao Chen and asked through gritted teeth.
The other late officials also stared at Xiao Chen angrily.
Xiao Chen said lightly: "I said yesterday that in the early court today, anyone who can't be there or who is late will be killed, what's the matter, aren't my words a holy decree?"
"You ......"
Guo Congjian wanted to argue, but found that whatever he said now seemed to be very pale and powerless, and Xiao Chen made it clear that he wanted to kill them.
Feng Wei said with a miserable face: "Emperor, I can see clearly, what is resistant, what is late, you are determined to kill us, it doesn't matter what the crime is." ”
Xiao Chen didn't speak, so he acquiesced.
No matter what if you admit it, the road of the emperor is a road paved with white bones.
Which emperor is on the throne, not killing countless people, his hands are stained with blood, and Xiao Chen is the same.
He waved his hand, and Yan Qing and his sergeants instantly launched a massacre of the courtiers.
"Ah, Xiao Chen, you can't die well!"
"Xiao Chen, I curse you to die without a corpse!"
"Xiao Chen, you tyrant!"
The ministers of the court, who knew that there was no way to live, completely took off their disguises and scolded Xiao Chen loudly.
However, the shouting and scolding were quickly covered by the screams, although these civil officials were all cultivated, they were all martial artists and soldiers.
With Yan Qing's strength and the assistance of Zhang Liao and others, twenty or thirty court officials were slaughtered in just a few breaths.
Blood stained the entire stone staircase red.
A disgusting smell of blood filled the air for a long time.
In front of the majestic Jinluan Palace, it became the execution ground for the executioners.
The bodies of dozens of ministers were laid out all over the ground, making people shudder to watch.
The surviving ministers looked at Xiao Chen's not-so-tall back, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts that they had never felt before.
This iron-blooded and cruel teenager has broken their inherent perception of the emperor.
"From today onwards, the highest article of the Great Zhou Law, the words of the emperor, overrides everything!"
"Today, I have set the order of five killings, and I hope that all your ministers will do it yourself!"
"Disobey the emperor, disobey the decree, kill!"
"Dereliction of duty, Yang and Yin violators, kill!"
"Those who form a party for personal gain, cause trouble to the government, kill!"
"Oppress the people, corrupt people, kill!"
"Those who plot rebellion and rebellion, fornicate with the enemy, kill!"
"This order of five killings, keep it in mind for you, otherwise you will be ruthless!"
Xiao Chen's cold voice floated over the palace, and all the officials had one more thought in their hearts.
The days of the Great Zhou are really going to change completely.
