After Li Mao retreated, Feng Xiyan looked at the ministers with different expressions in the hall and continued to speak.

"As the head of a hundred countries, the treasury is empty, and he can't even take out a penny, so he is not afraid to laugh at the big teeth of other vassal countries, and even the faces of me and the queen mother are also clean."

"The ministers are terrified!"

As soon as Feng Xiyan's words fell, all the ministers looked at each other, and then they were sincerely afraid.

"I am not saying this today to settle accounts after the autumn, but to remind those ministers who want to follow in the footsteps of Marquis Changning, since I can take Marquis Changning, I will definitely be able to take other ministers, so don't take chances, because I am not as incompetent as you think."

"Don't dare!"

"The case of Changning Hou involves a lot, judging from the clues found these days, there are as many as 20 ministers involved, and this is just the beginning, if the investigation continues, I don't know how many ministers will be involved."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers involved in the case in the hall all changed their faces, and their eyes unconsciously drifted to the other ministers of the accomplices.

Of course, Feng Xiyan has all this in his eyes.

"I'm really disappointed and angry, but I know that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, sometimes it's counterproductive if you're too aggressive, now that the Marquis of Changning Mansion has been won, then the other ministers involved, I won't continue to pursue it, whether it's for the stability of the court, or to give everyone a chance to mend their ways, I will only give this one chance, and next time, I will not spare it."

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"The case of Changning Hou is full of evidence, since Changning Hou himself has committed suicide in fear of crime, then the other Changning Hou and others led by Liang Wenshan, I have always advocated benevolence and righteousness, and I don't want to start killing."

Feng Xiyan looked at Shangguan Candle and saw that he had always lowered his eyes and did not express any dissatisfaction with all the decisions she had made, so she was a little relieved and continued to speak about the decision to deal with the case of Changning Hou.

Therefore, send them to the frontier to eat, drink, and sleep with the people of the frontier, so that they can experience the hardships of the people on the frontier and know whether what they have done is right. Then use your whole body to reflect and atone for your sins! ”

"Your Majesty is kind and loving, wise and martial, and is a blessing for your ministers."

As soon as Feng Xiyan finished speaking, whether they were weak-hearted or sincere, all the ministers said this sincerely.

The weak-hearted minister is sincere because Feng Xiyan let them go, and the sincere minister is also relieved to have such a benevolent and righteous king, because an emperor with a benevolent heart is more sympathetic to the difficulties of the people and the difficulties of the ministers than a cruel emperor.

In fact, to make such a decision, she made up her mind after a painful choice, to be honest, regardless of what Liang Wenshan did, just what his father Changninghou did was enough for his Liang family to be beheaded, leaving no one alive.

But killing people is not her ultimate goal, her ultimate goal is just to give others a reminder, a reminder that they dare not continue to make mistakes, that is, to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, as long as she can play this role, no matter how unwilling she is, she can endure it.

"Okay, since there is nothing wrong with the case of Changning Hou, then this matter will end here, and I will ignore everything before, and I will not care about it before, in the future, I will only look at the future, and I will be guilty in the future, I will not be as easy to talk as I am now, because I have already given me a chance."

"Your Majesty's teachings will be kept in mind by the ministers, and they will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."

Whether it's true or not, her goal has been achieved anyway, and as for whether they are sincere or not, it is not something she can control.

"Mother, do you think it's appropriate for me to handle it like this?"

After everything was dealt with, Feng Xiyan was pretending to be embarrassed, and he didn't even get up, and directly turned his head sideways to pretend to ask Empress Dowager Li for advice.

Empress Dowager Li wanted to kill her in her heart, but on the surface, she still had to pretend to be a smiling face.

"Although the mourning family feels that His Majesty has handled it indecisively and is too merciful, like this kind of rebellious and rebellious thief who deceives the king, he has directly cut it with a thousand knives, why not keep it, but since His Majesty has made a decision, since the Mourning family promised His Majesty not to interfere in this matter, then it cannot refute His Majesty's will and let His Majesty dispose of it."

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan really realized that Empress Dowager Li was ruthless, although the rabbit died and the dog cooked, but no matter what, Changning Hou has always been the person who has followed her for so many years, and has done so many unconscionable things for her.

As soon as the talent died, she was so ruthless, ready to kill all the living people in the Changning Hou Mansion, and even after she had already given the order, she felt that she was indecisive and too merciful, and I don't know if the Hou Changning was still alive, would she regret not being the first and get on this thief ship?

Of course, there is no answer to all this, because man is already dead.

But as soon as he thought of those innocent people because of the suffering they had suffered, Feng Xiyan's heart cooled down sharply, with endless coldness, and even felt that the decision he had just made was really too merciful.

"Mother, do you think I am too merciful?"

Feng Xiyan looked at Empress Dowager Li with a pair of innocent eyes and asked innocently.

At this time, Empress Dowager Li's eyes flickered to the blood stains on her fingernails, not only did she not feel sorry for the palace maid who was strangled by her, but even a little disgusted, and glared at the palace maid fiercely.

While taking the handkerchief from the hand of his henchman eunuch, he raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Xiyan obliquely, and slowly said to Feng Xiyan with a high-spirited momentum.

"Your Majesty is indeed merciful, but it is understandable, after all, Your Majesty is still young, and the means are not bold enough, and he is a good hand at investigating the case, but he is still too soft-hearted in handling the case, although soft-heartedness is not a bad thing, but if it appears on the emperor, it is not a good quality."

The coldness in Feng Xiyan's heart kept coming to his heart, and he laughed angrily, and said: "Queen Mother, although Changning Hou has committed such a big rebellion and committed chaos, but no matter what, there is no merit and hard work, and the contribution he has made cannot be erased, right?" After all, people can't forget their roots, can they? ”

The meaning contained in these words can be said to be clear enough to imply, how could Empress Dowager Li not understand her hints.

"What Your Majesty said is, but people can't just care about the old feelings and ignore the overall situation, if everyone makes a mistake and remembers the past merits, and does not punish them severely, then other people follow, what will Your Majesty do? When judgment is constantly suffering, it is not possible to be too merciful when necessary. ”
