289.

Seeing the despair in Pan Shangshu's eyes, Ren Xiaoyao patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "You are too careless." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I reminded you when I came in just now, what is this called? Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness! ”

Looking down at the fire fold in his hand, Ren Xiaoyao asked with concern, "...... Do you still want to burn yourself to death? ”

After speaking, Ren Xiaoyao also blew the fire fold very seriously, and the fire fold ignited when it saw the wind, emitting a bright fire.

Pan Shangshu quickly swept out of the distance. The terrified trembling voice said, "You...... You, you. Stay back! Old man...... The old man committed suicide in prison is ......"

Ren Xiaoyao was stunned, and then happy again: "Old thing, I can't see that you are old, and you are still a practitioner." It's actually a light skill, and it's a young man's eyes......"

Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand and ordered: "Come on!" Arrest him, put him in prison, and send a special person to take care of him. He must not be allowed to kill himself, and no one is allowed to visit! ”

Several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists rushed forward, pushed Pan Shangshu to the ground, tied him firmly, and escorted him down.

Ren Xiaoyao turned around and walked out of the Jinluan Palace, exhaling a breath, the square in front of the hall was covered with the corpses of rebel soldiers, and there were red blood stains all over the ground, and the soldiers of the Longwu Army and the Longxiang Army were cleaning up.

Ren Xiaoyao turned around and smiled at Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi: "The big thing is decided!" Congratulations to the two generals. This time, the two of them have made meritorious contributions, and the emperor will definitely reward the two of them, the two of them eat meat in large pieces, and the younger brother will follow the two to drink soup......"

Han Dashi said with a smile: "Lord Ren is too modest, if you talk about merit." When the number of adults is the largest, and they suffer the most, they are the first heroes! ”

Lao Tzu did suffer the most, which is a good thing. However, I don't like to be promoted to a knighthood, if the emperor converts my merits into silver and rewards me. How nice would that be......

remembered that last night he rushed out of the heavily surrounded Ren Mansion in the starry night, and was born and died several times, sneaking up on the rebel soldiers, then on the rebel captain, and then on the rebel general Qian Long of the Longwu Army......

Why are you always sneaking up on others? And the level of the sneak attack is higher than the other, Ren Xiaoyao shivered with palpitations, he was too uncalm, think twice before acting, think twice before acting......

The shadows of the officials appeared one after another at the gate of the West Palace, walking together in twos and threes, and they crossed the square full of rebel corpses in horror and walked towards the Jinluan Palace.

Their expressions were different, some were happy, some were desperate, and some were terrified. Ren Xiaoyao looked at them and sneered in his heart, after this rebellion, the situation between the DPRK and China will definitely change dramatically......

The dismayed ministers walked to the door of the Jinluan Palace, and saw Ren Xiaoyao looking at them with a smile in his hand, and there were two murderous generals standing beside Ren Xiaoyao, one of whom was Feng Qiudao of the Long Wu Army. Both sides of the palace gate were full of fierce and solemn soldiers, many of whom still had blood stains on their faces, and the atmosphere of the whole scene was gloomy and terrifying, and a rich murderous aura filled the palace hall.

The ministers were all shocked, and in today's early dynasty, I don't know how many colleagues will be sent to the guillotine. Those ministers who were attached to the Pan Party trembled uncontrollably at this time, and some even collapsed on the ground in fright, twitching all over.

Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward as usual, with a kind smile on his face: "Oh, adults, I haven't seen you for a long time, I slept soundly last night, right?" I envy you......"

The ministers looked at each other, smiled bitterly in their hearts, and slept soundly? Last night the rebels entered the city, set fire to the whole city, wantonly slaughtered the people, and everywhere there were shouts of killing and screams. These officials sat at home in fear, fearing that the rebels would rush into their homes and slaughter them, and they did not dare to close their eyes all night. Now this hairy boy actually asks himself if he sleeps soundly...... Does he speak human language?

"Huh? Lord Wei, didn't you sleep well? Have dark circles under your eyes...... Although you are old, you also have to pay attention to your image, you are the pioneer in the romantic array, and if you have dark circles, you will not be liked by big girls and little daughters-in-law......"

Among the courtiers, Ren Xiaoyao had a good relationship with Wei Chengde, the secretary of the military department, after all, the two had cooperated in negotiations with the Turkic envoys, and they had a good impression of each other.

Wei Chengde snorted angrily, rolled his eyes and said: "Lord Ren, Hugh has to make fun of the old man, the old man is upright, what kind of pioneer in the merry array, don't talk nonsense......"

Wei Chengde has always been-for-tat with the Pan Party, and he is the happiest when the Pan Party falls. So he's in a good mood right now.

"Oh, Master Wei, don't be modest, who are the two of us, Miss Yiyi from the Peony Building asked me to bring you a good one. She said you hadn't been to see her in a long time......"

"How could she ask you to bring ......?"

"Passing by. Xia Guan is purely passing by, really! The relationship between me and Miss Yiyi is as pure as a blank piece of paper, you are not old-hearted, and you are an evergreen tree in the green building. How dare a subordinate be a rival in love with you......"

"Humph!"

A gag on Ren Yao's hippie smile eased the tension in the air a little.

At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and a small yellow gate hurriedly ran in from outside the gate of the West Palace, and shouted: "The emperor is in the early dynasty, and hundreds of officials are lined up-"

The ministers were solemn. Consciously lined up according to the rank and rank, and quietly stood on both sides of the temple gate.

The soldiers who were cleaning the square in front of the temple stopped and knelt in the blood on the ground.

Not long after, the emperor, dressed in a five-clawed golden dragon yellow robe and a winged dragon crown, with a solemn and majestic face, got off the dragon chariot at the gate of the palace, his eyes were level, and he turned a blind eye to the corpses of the rebels all over the square, and his feet were stepping on the red thick sticky blood. Step by step, walk towards the Golden Luan Palace. Behind him, there were blood-red footprints that seemed to be nothing, and the sound of gentle footsteps, like the beat of the drum before the killing of the head in the court, struck on everyone's hearts one by one.

Soon the emperor had already stepped on the jade steps in front of the Jinluan Palace, and Xiao Huangmen shouted behind the emperor: "The emperor is going to the palace." Hundreds of officials worshipped-"

The ministers immediately knelt down, watching the emperor's blood-stained footprints printed on the gold bricks on the ground of the Jinluan Hall step by step, and many officials turned even paler, as if the end of the world. Shivering.

It wasn't until the emperor sat down on the dragon chair that the ministers shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long liveβ€”"

This time, the emperor didn't say "all the ministers are flat". Instead, he nodded directly to the little yellow door beside him.

Xiao Huangmen immediately took a step forward, slowly unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and said loudly: "First-class loyal and brave uncle, the right scattered cavalry is a regular attendant, and the captain of the horse is free, come forward and bow down to listen to the sealβ€”β€”"

Ren Xiaoyao, who was about to sleep leaning on the pillar, sighed when he heard this, Pan Dang hasn't been caught yet, what kind of hero are you in a hurry, I don't know what kind of official the emperor will promote me this time......

"Weichen Ren Xiaoyao respectfully listens to the holy decree-" Ren Xiaoyao stood up, stood in the middle of the main hall, took a few steps forward, knelt down and said loudly.

"The edict said: On the evening of October 15 of the twelfth year of the founding of the Chinese Dynasty, Pan rebelled against Wenyuan, instigated the Shenwu army Zhao to rebel, and the rebels invaded the capital, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, and the people were killed and injured countless times, resulting in the destruction of lives and turmoil in the rivers and mountains. When the country was in great trouble, Ren Xiaoyao was loyal to the monarch and the country, went out of the city alone, moved troops to rescue the driver, and annihilated the rebels, captured the thief leader Pan Reyi alive, and protected the country from falling into the hands of the traitors. This merit is great, no less than opening up the territory and opening up the territory, I remember its merits, so I named Xiaoyao as a first-class loyal and brave marquis, increased the number of food and 1,000 households, hereditary replacement, promoted to Xiaoyao as the general of the capital garrison, can be selected in the elite of the army, defend the capital, allow it to make a decision on the spot, and have the right to cut down the officials below the second rank in the DPRK and the central government. And specially given the forbidden palace to ride a horse, and allowed to enter the palace at any time to participate in the secret. Three thousand taels of gold, five hundred silk silks, and two hundred east pearls.

The ministers were in an uproar, such a reward can be regarded as the emperor's grace, and the marquis is still available, but he will be named the general of the capital garrison, and he will have the right to cut the officials below the second grade, this reward is inevitably too big, what is the second grade? It's at the level of Shangshu, that is to say, in the future, except for a few Shangshu in the court, if anyone commits a crime in the hands of this kid, he can kill him as much as he wants, and just think about it, you will know how great this kid's power has become.

Ren Xiaoyao's own mind was also confused, this half-literate and half-white holy decree went around a lot, and he didn't understand what he said, he vaguely understood that he seemed to have been promoted to a knighthood, from an earl to a marquis, and then he seemed to be a general again, - how did I become a general? Being a general doesn't mean fighting, bloodshed, and desperate......

"Let me go, you can receive the order of thanksgiving." The shrill voice of the little yellow door interrupted Ren Yao's thoughts.

"Ahem...... What, Your Majesty, Weichen is a civil official, and Weichen feels that he has done a good job as a civil official, how can he be a general? It's not right with Weichen's major......" Ren Xiaoyao laughed with him, carefully trying to make the emperor change his mind.

"Bold! Ren Yao, don't you dare to resist the order? Before the emperor could say anything, the little yellow door beside him roared.

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the little yellow door, this kid's eyes are tight, he looks like a dog, who is it? Dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, even if it is Gonggong Cao, who has served the emperor for many years, he has to accompany him with a smiling face in front of Lao Tzu. Later, I went to ask Gonggong Cao. Slap this half-male and half-female dog thing, and by the way, check whether the dog thing is castrated, and if it is not castrated, it will be castrated again......

"Your Majesty, Weichen is really not the material to lead the troops, in case he doesn't take care of his subordinates. They got into trouble outside. Didn't Weichen want to help them carry the black pot? You know, Wechen has always let others carry it for me...... Uh, Weichen obeyed the order, Weichen thanked the emperor for his grace - "Seeing the emperor's black and stinky face." After reaching the verge of an outbreak, Ren Xiaoyao wisely chose to receive the order to thank him, take care of him, and turn around to intercede with the emperor.

The emperor's face softened slightly, and he glanced at the ministers majestically. He said in a deep voice: "I also have a holy decree, I want to set up another institution in the court, called the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is responsible for supervising the hundreds of officials in the court, and secretly folds the special performance. ”

As soon as this statement came out. The ministers were in an uproar again, and the emperor trusted Ren Xiaoyao too much, supervising hundreds of officials, and being arbitrary at the opportunity, and leading the position of the general of the capital garrison. This is equivalent to the emperor completely handing over the safety of the capital and the future of hundreds of officials to Ren Xiaoyao, Pan Shangshu's rebellion has not subsided, is the emperor not afraid that Ren Xiaoyao will become the second Pan Shangshu to cover the sky with one hand?

didn't wait for the ministers to think about it. The emperor has rewarded Feng Qiudao for several rewards, and this time he has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion. Han Dashi made the marquis and gave the forbidden palace to ride a horse, and still led the army. Even Ren Xiaoyao's father, Master Ren, was also named the founding uncle because of his meritorious service, and Mrs. Ren was named Mrs. Wupin, and the glory of the Ren family was pushed to the extreme on this day.

And His Royal Highness the fat man Fu Wang, who was recommended to be free and meritorious, was also crowned, because he was already the prince and the emperor's son, the title could not be sealed, so the emperor rewarded him with a lot of property and increased the number of food and 2,000 households. What's even more interesting is that His Royal Highness the Emperor appointed His Royal Highness to serve in the Ministry of Officials and participate in political affairs.

As we all know, the laws of the Chinese Dynasty stipulate that among the princes, except for the crown prince, no prince may interfere in political affairs, in order to prevent them from usurping power and seizing the throne in the future, resulting in the tragedy of fratricide with the crown prince. And the emperor's holy decree today is equivalent to abolishing this law, and even has a deeper meaning......

On a normal day, the ministers would naturally oppose it, but today is different, the ministers know that today is the day they are purged, and at least half of the officials are worried about the heads on their necks, so how can they pay attention to this will that has nothing to do with them? Therefore, after this holy decree was announced, no one came out to oppose it for the first time.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, after rewarding the meritorious ministers, Xiao Huangmen handed over a thin booklet, the emperor didn't even look at it, so he called Ren Xiaoyao to the front, and said lightly: "Now you supervise hundreds of officials, and the officials listed in this booklet are all officials who are dependent on Pan Wei, you can deal with it." ”

Ren Yao was stunned for a while, looking at the thin booklet, and looking at the emperor curiously.

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Arrest first and then interrogate."

took the booklet and turned to look at the ministers with different expressions in the Jinluan Palace, Ren Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed, in fact, he also knew that this was an opportunity for the emperor to give him an opportunity to establish his prestige in front of hundreds of officials, but he was used to making tricks behind others' backs, if he wanted to arrest people in front of everyone, he couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted......

"Ahem......" The dry cough echoed in the quiet hall, and Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Colleagues, the officials are acting according to orders, and I hope you will bear with me, we have been ministers in the same hall for so long, in fact, I am also quite embarrassed, speaking of this matter, it is too much trouble, and the impact is too bad, this is completely different from the nature of borrowing silver and not paying it back, to be honest, if you really borrow my silver and don't pay it back, I still ...... I'm really going to get you...... In the future, if you have injustice, you will take revenge, and if you have no grievances, don't delay, hurry up and reincarnate ......"

"Let it go! What nonsense are you talking about? Don't get started yet! The emperor said angrily behind him.

"Yes, yes, ahem." Ren Xiaoyao cleared his throat and shouted outside the hall: "Long Wujun listens to the order!" ”

The soldiers standing outside the hall responded in unison, and their roars shook the sky: "Here!" ”

The ministers standing in the hall trembled with fright, and many of them had collapsed to the ground weakly, their faces were gray, and they looked like dead people. Needless to say, these officials are, of course, the backbone of the Pan Party, and they know that this time is already doomed.

Ren Xiaoyao slowly unfolded the pamphlet in his hand and said loudly: "Whose name I read, you will arrest him and put him in prison!" Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

"The left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Zhongcheng, arrest!"

"Supervise the imperial history, Wu Qian, arrest!"

"The right waiter of the ministry, Zhou Zhongqian, arrest!"

"The right waiter of the Criminal Department, Lu Wenda, arrest!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

The ministers in the court were all trembling with fright, their faces were pale, their lips were purple, and they looked at Ren Xiaoyao who was still reading his name in horror, and behind Ren Xiaoyao, the corners of his mouth sneered and glanced at their emperor. Seeing one colleague after another, they didn't even dare to say anything to beg for mercy, and they were taken down in despair, and this kind of huge psychological pressure was unbearable for a group of people who had been officials for more than ten or even decades.

Until Ren Yaoyao finished reading, the ministers in the palace had already decreased by half. The rest of the ministers, some of them had a clear conscience and their faces were as usual, some were full of joy and sighed that they had escaped death, and some were worried and panicked.

Ren Xiaoyao put the booklet away, and when he looked up, he saw that half of the people in the hall were missing, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Ho! There are so many less, don't be afraid, it's like cleaning up your home, who doesn't have a few cockroaches and bedbugs and spider webs, after cleaning, it looks much more refreshing, and you don't have to stand so crowded in the future......"

"Humph!" The emperor behind Ren Xiaoyao stood up with an angry face, slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, and said gloomily: "This group of scum! I treated them as soldiers, but they repaid me with swords! It's just ungrateful! Ren Aiqing, I order you to interrogate them as soon as possible, these people are all beheaded! And Pan Reverse, I want to punish him for the nine clans! ”

The ministers all knelt down in the emperor's thunderous anger, and said in unison: "The emperor is angry......"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Ren Xiaoyao, who was closest to the emperor, quietly squeezed his eyes at him.

"What?" The emperor glared at him angrily.

"Your Majesty, you forgot one thing, Weichen has to remind you ......"

"What forgot?"

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be ten thousand golden lights emitted in his eyes, which made people dare not force their eyes.

Ren Xiaoyao put up a smile on his face, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, copy their house, copy their home, Weichen is very good at this difficult work, and promise not to be corrupt ......"

"You...... You ......" The emperor was so angry that he pointed at Ren Xiaoyao, not knowing how to scold: "...... Mi'er is right, you are simply the most shameless bastard! Get out of here! …… Hurry up! ”

Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor glared at Ren Xiaoyao with residual anger, Ren Xiaoyao lowered his eyebrows and smiled with his eyes, and his face was almost ossified with a smile.

"Humph! Why are you so unproductive? Your family is rich enough to rival the country, why are your two eyes only staring at silver? The emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, it's far from being rich enough to rival the country, what you said is too exaggerated, besides, it's Weichen's father's silver, Weichen doesn't want to hit his parents......" Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly defended.

"So you made up your mind to hit these criminals? I'm sorry for you! Before the crime was decided, I made up my mind to raid my house, -- were you very poor in your last life? ”

This was to the point, Ren Xiaoyao raised his head suddenly, looked at the emperor with shining eyes, and said mournfully: "...... Your Majesty, do you know everything? I'll tell you the truth, Weichen died of poverty in his last life, woo woo......"

If you have money, a lot of girls can hug you casually, why go to the street to buy those bad infantry films? If you have money, you can have a car to sit in, why don't you walk yourself, only to be unlucky and fall into the sewer......

In the final analysis, my own crossing is all harmless with no money!

The emperor snorted, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" This time, there is no need for the three law divisions to be tried, there is no need to report through the Criminal Department, you will lead the shadow to try it directly, Long Wujun will assist from the side, report directly to me, and no one will interfere! From today onwards, I have given the shadow the right to supervise, arrest and interrogate hundreds of officials, understand? ”

After the rebellion, the emperor's suspicions became more and more serious, and he couldn't believe the ministers around him anymore, and only dared to appoint Ren Xiaoyao and Feng Qiudao and other heroes with confidence. And the shadow agency has completely become a spy agency similar to the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded again and again: "Weichen obeys the order...... Your Majesty, the matter of raiding the house ......"

The emperor didn't answer his words, and continued: "...... I have a plan to join the director of the Ministry of Officials without illness, but this kid has been playing around. Relatively cowardly by nature, you are his classmate and friend, you have to help him more on weekdays, tell him that he can do errands with confidence. It doesn't matter if it's wrong. ”

"Yes. Wechen understands,...... Your Majesty, the matter of raiding the house ......"

The emperor still ignored him and continued: "This time the court is purged. Half of the officials in the DPRK and China have fallen, and I am very sad! Now that there are a lot of vacancies in the official positions of various ministries, in addition to letting the alternate officials temporarily take over, I have decided to open Enke in three months and become a national official. I'm going to leave this matter to the crown prince and the two of them to see how capable they are, and you can help you. ”

"Wechen obeys the order...... Your Majesty, the matter of raiding the house ......" Ren Xiaoyao still unyieldingly probed.

"Raid the house! You know how to raid your home! I can't figure out how you can be so greedy for money! The emperor finally became furious, pointed at Ren Yao's nose and scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged! What was copied from the house, Wechen will definitely hand over a lot of money to the treasury, Wechen is contributing to the increasingly empty treasury of our Chinese Dynasty......" Ren Xiaoyao blinked innocently. Innocent and innocent.

"Humph! Would you be so kind? I'm afraid that after copying, the treasury will only get two or three tenths at most, and the rest will go into your own pocket, right? The emperor squinted at him and sneered.

Ho! The emperor is really a god! That's what I really planned...... (To be continued.) )
