Chapter 077: The Dust Has Settled
When Nie Chen's shouts couldn't be heard at all, the hall became silent, and the officials and ministers all consciously stood neatly on top of the hall. Jin Ling and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to stand straight on the side of the main hall, Concubine Wu was sad to see Nie Chen being escorted, but it was more relaxed.
The ministers who had fallen to Nie Chen's side didn't wait for Li Qianxun to speak, so they knelt down on their own, trembling and wanting to say something, but when they saw Li Qianxun's face, they also consciously stopped talking, and knelt in place tremblingly.
They didn't expect that Nie Chen's farce would end so simply. After all, in their hearts, Li Qianxun is the kind of puppet emperor who allows people to pinch and flatten, Nie Chen is high and powerful, and there is a tiger talisman in his hand, no matter how you look at it, Li Qianxun will obediently give way, such a dramatic turn is really difficult for them to accept.
Ying Zichu stood quietly beside Li Qianxun, looking at Li Qianxun's beautiful but remarkably majestic face everywhere, his heart couldn't help but sink a little more, and the gentleness on his face was enough to melt an iceberg.
And Li Qianxun fell into his own train of thought, thought about it, and said: "You, you have to go to Wusha, take a hundred rods and be demoted to slavery, exiled to the border, and three generations cannot return to China, what complaints do you have." ”
In fact, according to this situation, these rebellious ministers should be executed immediately, but Li Qianxun, as a modern person and an agent, has had enough blood on his hands in his previous life, and it is better to have less in this life. Those ministers also knew the law, and how could they complain when they heard that they could escape death? Even if they want to complain, they can only blame themselves for being confused.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing! Thank you for your majesty's grace not to kill! ”
The rebellious officials took off their black gauze hats one after another, and walked out of the hall with tears in their eyes. Then they knelt down outside the main hall, and the sound of the rod was heard one after another, accompanied by wailing, into everyone's ears and hearts.
Listening to the sound of sticks falling on the flesh outside the hall, the officials in the hall also felt a little creepy, and they didn't dare to speak, so they had to lower their heads and listen to Li Qianxun's fall.
"Where is Ouyang Yushi?" Li Qianxun asked.
Ouyang Yushi was almost slashed by Nie Chen, the most fierce official who scolded Nie Chen, Li Qianxun knew that this Ouyang Jinzhong was already in his prime, and he also had his own unique routine in dealing with people, and he could keep everything done to him between good and bad, it seemed like he was incompetent, but Li Qianxun knew that if he wanted to maintain such a level, he had been hovering between officials, which was probably not incapable, but deliberately hiding his strength.
Although Li Qianxun had also thought about promoting Ouyang Jinzhong before, anyone could get strength through hard work, and what she needed was an official who could swear loyalty to Li Guo, not those officials who could change the direction of the wind just now.
Ouyang Jinzhong's performance against Nie Chen just now had already won the hearts of the king.
"The minister is here!" Ouyang Jinzhong walked out.
"Now I will make you the Taifu, and immediately take over the matter of Nie Chen's rebellion, and I will leave the matter of parade and other things to you." Li Qianxun said.
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
The officials with their heads bowed were in an uproar. Although they knew that after this incident, according to the performance of Ouyang Jinzhong, there was definitely an increase in the rank of official, but it was really rare to be directly named a Taifu. Because Taifu is also an official residence, but his status is only lower than that of the left and right prime ministers of the current dynasty. In addition to their uproar, they were more envious and jealous, and they all wished that time could return to the part of Nie Chen's palace, and then they would perform well.
But it is clear that the world does not regret taking the medicine.
"Where is Tang Yayun, the squire of the military department?"
"The minister is here!" Tang Yayun also walked out.
Tang Liyun is tall and strong, and he looks quite loyal and honest, and when he heard Li Qianxun call him, the expression on his face couldn't help but become proud, but in the eyes of others, he smirked badly.
Seeing him smirk like this, Li Qianxun couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and said, "I will make you the secretary of the military department now, and the rebels led by Nie Chen will be handed over to you to deal with." ”
"Minister! Obey! ”
The next officials were promoted and degraded, and the officials who originally formed a group to oppose Li Qianxun before this were all swept away by Li Qianxun for a while.
And most of these officials are the subordinates of Prime Minister Zuo, although Prime Minister Zuo is dissatisfied, but the power of Li Qianxun to kill chickens and monkeys this time is too great, even if he stands up and speaks now, the forces standing behind him will be afraid for a while, and they can't bear the majesty of Li Qianxun at all. If Li Qianxun takes the opportunity to suppress his officials who have not shown up, then everything he has been deployed for more than ten years will be over.
Which is more important, he still carries it clearly.
After all the officials were almost deployed, Li Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief, although the power of the left prime minister is still huge, but now she has been cleared three or four points, plus there is the right prime minister and the Dingyuan Marquis and the left Cheng are facing each other, this Li country can finally live a stable life.
Li Qianxun's eyes caught a glimpse of Concubine Wu who was cowering on the side, and Concubine Wu also noticed her eyes, walked out with a smile and knelt down in the hall, her face was no longer gray and sad, and she waited quietly for Li Qianxun's fall.
Li Qianxun had to sigh that Concubine Wu was indeed a smart woman, not only smart but also sensible, but such a woman made Nie Chen ruined, which is really a pity.
"Concubine Wu, are you guilty?" Li Qianxun had already figured out how to deal with Concubine Wu.
"The Wu family pleads guilty and is at the disposal of His Majesty."
Li Qianxun sighed and said, "That's it!" Thinking that you can change your mistakes, and expose Nie Chen's face and make up for your mistakes, I will demote you to a concubine, and you will not be allowed to enter the palace again. Be an ordinary person! ”
Concubine Wu didn't expect Li Qianxun to treat her like this, obviously a little stunned.
Once upon a time, Concubine Wu also fantasized that she was an ordinary person, looking for a man who was good to her in the best years, and then marrying him, giving birth to children for her husband, husband and children, and living an ordinary but happy life. But providence makes people, she is the child of a lonely official family, and she is destined to never have such an ordinary and happy life in her life.
After this time, she originally wanted to avoid the death penalty, and the living crime was inevitable, but ...... Li Qianxun easily spared her crime and fulfilled her dream, how could she not be excited?
Concubine Wu's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she kowtowed to Li Qianxun one after another with an excited expression, and said incoherently: "Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
