Chapter 181: Killing the Officials
No one thought that Xiao Chen would come to the Jinluan Hall so early.
"Join Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xiao Chen walk into the main hall, Zhang Liao and other generals took the lead in kneeling down.
Although the other officials were reluctant, they did not dare to brush the tiger's whiskers at this time, and all of them knelt on the ground and shouted: "See Your Majesty!"
Xiao Chen sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the kneeling ministers below.
The number of ministers in this group is less than half of the number of courtiers needed today.
As for the list of people who were on the list given to him by Di Renjie, there were only three of them, and they were all military generals.
It seems that Di Renjie's prediction is very correct!
"All the ministers are flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers all stood up and took the same position where they had stood before before they began to take a closer look at the newly enthroned emperor.
They found that Xiao Chen, who was sitting on a high seat, was indeed very different from the waste prince when he left Los Angeles.
Today's Xiao Chen has faded away from his original youth and cowardice, and has become confident and domineering, and he already has a heavy kingly spirit.
"Yan Zi'an, go to the door of the main hall to set up an hourglass for half an hour, after the hourglass is gone, all the officials who are not present will be written down," Xiao Chen said to Yan Zi'an.
"Yes, the slave will do it," Yan Zi'an, who was standing next to the throne and was waiting for Xiao Chen, hurriedly replied.
"Yan Qing, lead a team of sergeants to guard the main hall, and take down all the late officials for me!"
"Yes!"
Yan Qing arched his hand and strode out of the Jinluan Palace.
After saying these words, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sat on the dragon chair to close his eyes and recuperate.
But the ministers were nervous, looking at this posture, Xiao Chen was going to stand up today.
Tick!
The hourglass was erected at the door of the Jinluan Palace, and grains of sand slowly flowed down, making the hearts of the courtiers tense.
They glanced at the officials of the same dynasty who were often standing beside them, but they were empty at the moment, and their hearts began to feel sad for them.
Today they are afraid that they will be overpowered.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the moment the sand in the hourglass ran out, Xiao Chen opened his eyes.
At this time, there were many more officials above the court, but the number of people in the court was still one-third less than the normal number of people in the court.
And most of these one-thirds appeared on the list provided by Di Renjie.
Do these families really want to give themselves a dismount?
But they thought too simply, and the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth hooked up a sneer.
"Now, the court meeting begins," Xiao Chen said directly without waiting for those late officials.
All the officials were upright and focused their attention on Xiao Chen.
"Zhai Linfeng, let me ask you, the Xianglong Kingdom invaded my Great Zhou, and you, as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, did not resist at all, do you have anything to say?"
The first person Xiao Chen wanted to operate on was Zhai Linfeng, who was Xiao Tianci's henchman.
When Zhai Linfeng heard Xiao Chen's words, his body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! It's not that the minister doesn't send troops to rescue, it's really Xiao Tianci's traitor who doesn't give the minister the right to soldier, and the minister can't do anything!"
Originally, Xiao Chen thought that this Zhai Linfeng was Xiao Tianci's cronies and a military general, so he might be a little tougher, but he didn't expect that this was a soft-footed shrimp.
Not only did he not have a hard heart, but he put all the blame on the dead Xiao Tianci.
I really don't know how this person became Xiao Tianci's cronies, and how he became the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.
However, Xiao Chen will not let him go because of this, there are some people he must kill.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly at him and said: "Zhai Linfeng, you are attached to the thief Xiao Tianci first, and indirectly harmed me in the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Great Zhou, and the crime should be executed. ”
Zhai Linfeng was dumbfounded, the whole set of rhetoric prepared before was useless, and Xiao Chen was about to kill himself directly.
"The minister is wronged! I beg the emperor to spare the minister's life, the minister is willing to resign and return home, and never step into the court again, Your Majesty spares his life!"
Zhai Linfeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, but Xiao Chen did not have a trace of softness.
"Zhang Liao, drag Zhai Linfeng out and behead the public, there must be no mistake!"
"The minister obeys the order," Zhang Liao arched his hand, and then dragged Zhai Linfeng with one hand to behead him outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, although General Zhai is guilty, he is excusable and asks the emperor to spare his life. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, General Zhai has been in the army for decades, and he has worked hard without merit, and I hope that the emperor will surround his life and allow him to resign. ”
"Your Majesty, although the generalissimo is guilty, his crime is not to death! If the emperor really wants to kill him, please kill us together!"
"Please also ask the emperor to spare Marshal Zhai's life. ”
Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to drag Zhai Linfeng out and behead him, those generals were not calm.
Zhai Linfeng is the head of the generals, if he is killed so casually, can these generals still have a good life?
Stop! must be stopped!
Nearly one-third of the generals in the court jumped out at the same time, kneeling on the ground and begging Xiao Chen to spare Zhai Linfeng's life.
If it were other emperors, in the face of the pleas of so many generals, maybe they would be relieved, but Xiao Chen was different.
He was originally here to Liwei today, and he even wished that these generals would jump out, otherwise, he would have to find an excuse to kill someone and die of trouble.
"You want to accompany Zhai Linfeng to die? Okay! Then I will fulfill you. ”
"Chengdu, pull out these people who want to accompany Generalissimo Zhai to death and cut them down together, so that their dreams can be fulfilled. ”
Hiss!
Whether it was Wenchen or the generals who didn't jump out, they all gasped.
This is more than 20 generals! Not one of them is below the five grades, and they will be killed if they say they will be killed?
Only Shen Changwen scolded secretly: Idiot.
When is it, and you still can't see the situation clearly?
You are a high-ranking and powerful person, but you are not a general who leads troops abroad, and if you do not bear the heavy responsibility of border defense, it is useless at all.
Now that all the military power in Los Angeles is in the hands of the new emperor, it is not a burden to kill you.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! We are wrong, we don't want to accompany the generalissimo to death. ”
"Your Majesty, I didn't say just now that I would die with the generalissimo!
Seeing Yuwen Chengdu walking towards him with a few sergeants, these generals immediately panicked, and they realized that something was wrong!
It's a pity that it's too late, Xiao Chen looked at these people indifferently, without the slightest mercilessness.
When Zhai Linfeng saw this scene, he simply said ruthlessly in his heart: "Generals, this faint monarch will not let us go, we can't sit still, go on, kill the dog emperor!"
Zhai Linfeng's voice fell, and the other generals also reacted, and they were ready to do it immediately.
Click!
It's just that before they could act, Zhang Liao used the hook and sickle in his hand to cut off Zhai Linfeng's head with a knife.
Zhai Linfeng in the martial arts realm, in front of Zhang Liao, didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Great heads tumbled over the main hall.
The courtiers felt chills all over their bodies.
The Generalissimo of the Kingdom died like this.
