Chapter 131: Purging Dissidents
Looking at the mixed cement, Xi Duyun asked Zhou Zheng to make a mold out of iron and pour the cement into it.
It's a heart-shaped mold, about the size of a fist, about the size of a human heart.
After pouring the cement into it and waiting for it to solidify, the mold was opened, and a dusty heart was ready, and it was hard enough.
It's just that the color is not very good, so Xi Duyun asked people to find red paint and paint this heart red.
A heart the size of a fist is heavy and heavy.
Xi Duyun looked at it and thought to herself, when Qi Lichen came back, she would give him this heart.
Prime Minister's Office.
The man in black was almost desperate to get back here.
He was covered in wounds, and if it weren't for the last sword, he had deflected to the right, or he would have been pierced through the heart and killed instantly.
The prime minister looked at the treasure hunter, he was the only one left, and he was shocked in his heart, for many years, he was above the court, and he would not have too many expressions when anything happened, so many years, he had long been used to it, and hid all his thoughts under his face.
But now that he listened to the report of the man in black, all the treasure hunters were dead, he was still horrified in his heart, and couldn't help but tremble angrily, "Who is it?" Who did it? β
The man in black hesitated for a moment, "Prime Minister, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
The prime minister slapped the table, his hands trembling, "When is it, give me back the money, believe it or not, the prime minister will drag you out to feed the dog immediately!" β
As soon as these words came out, the man in black trembled with fright, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes...... It was King Mujun, and since we set out, we have always found that a group of people have followed us from the capital. β
"Then how dare you be sure it's King Mujun?" The prime minister couldn't believe it, he always thought that even if King Mu Jun found out what he had done, he shouldn't have done it so desperately.
But he never thought that he had done a lot of things for him for so many years, but in the end, he got such an end.
The man in black said: "The people who followed us are the people around King Mujun, I have seen one of them before, I saw it when you sent me to do something. β
Things have come to this point, is there anything uncertain?
The prime minister suddenly felt dizzy, his body was unstable, he shook, and almost fell to the ground.
It was the man in black who reacted and held the prime minister.
The prime minister took a deep breath, "In the court, there are many people who block my steps, and I am really embattled now." β
The man in black thought for a while and said, "Anyway, King Mujun may not be able to get that batch of treasures, most of the information is here, so it's better to put the treasure over there first." β
The prime minister nodded, now it can only be like this, the only people who can be sent out to hunt for treasure have been killed, and there are no more people available around him.
There are a lot of people who can use it, but there are not many people who really trust it.
The prime minister narrowed his eyes, "Has the news that Qi Lichen gave me been verified?" β
The man in black nodded, "I've checked it, and most of it is true." β
"Very well, against me, I'm going to let them know what the end is." The prime minister's eyes narrowed slightly, bursting out with a cold light, which made people shudder.
In the rivers and lakes, he may not be able to do anything, but above the court is his home field, and there are naturally many people working for him.
The prime minister thought for a while, "Let's start with the military department, this old man still dares to go against me." β
"It just so happens that we have evidence in our hands that he has encroached on fertile land." The man in black said.
"The emperor's heavy military department is still in the book, these evidences are not enough for him to believe, and he has to find more evidence, evidence that can poke the emperor's pain." The prime minister said coldly.
"Supporting the army and respecting oneself is still the heart disease of every emperor." The man in black coughed.
The prime minister glanced at him, "Okay, don't talk if the injury is so serious, go back and recuperate from your injuries, take care of your injuries, and your friends will be of great use." β
The man in black hurriedly thanked him and retreated. Android
In the court, there is an undercurrent.
Because the problem of floods has not been solved for a long time, and no courtier can put forward useful suggestions, the atmosphere in the court is very solemn, and the emperor is also worried every day.
The prime minister glanced back at one of the courtiers standing behind him.
This is his proud protΓ©gΓ©, the imperial historian Zhang Sheng, who can directly admonish the Son of Heaven and impeach hundreds of officials, this is a candidate he specially picked, no one knows, this is his person.
The emperor will also believe his words.
Zhang Sheng stood up, the expression on his face was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book. β
The Emperor raised his head slightly tiredly, "Speak." β
"Your Majesty wants to impeach the secretary of the military department." Zhang Sheng said.
The emperor raised his head slightly, "What is the charge?" β
"It's all in the middle of this." Zhang Sheng presented a red piece of music with both hands and presented it respectfully.
The emperor rubbed his temples and tried to look at it, but found that he didn't have the strength, so he just waved his hand and asked the big internal official next to him to take it.
The Ouchi official unfolded the recital and read it out.
"Li Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, encroached on fertile land, causing many peasants to have no land to plant, and his first crime was embezzlement of public funds, which caused the water conservancy project to stagnate.
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly got up angrily, "At the moment of national crisis, there are still corruption and corruption, when will this unhealthy atmosphere in the court be reduced?" β
The corners of the prime minister's mouth showed a sneer imperceptibly, this was also in his calculations, now, because of the flood, the emperor is anxious, if he finds out this kind of thing, it will definitely not spare the military department.
What's more, there are indeed a lot of unhealthy tendencies in the court, and the emperor also needs to use an opportunity to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
If it is confirmed that Li Huai does have one of them, the emperor may not be spared, it is very likely that he will be dismissed and return to his hometown, or he will be imprisoned, and he will still break ground on Tai Sui's head at a critical moment, that is, he will look for death.
In this case, the emperor will definitely not investigate very carefully.
Li Huai naturally came out to shout grievances, and even said that he had never done such a thing, and it must be Zhang Sheng who was sowing discord.
Naturally, the emperor would not just listen to the words of one family.
The prime minister had already thought of it.
The Emperor will certainly entrust this to those he believes in.
In between, they're sure to see what they want them to see.
At that time, as long as there is a little bit of evidence, the emperor will punish him severely, and if the military department Shangshu goes to prison, he will definitely not be able to get out.
Thinking of this, the corners of the prime minister's mouth hooked slightly.
Those people on the list who hindered him, he had to let them go to hell one by one, and they would never recover.
The military department is the first, and it will definitely not be the last.
Things went smoothly, with the evidence they had made in advance, half-truths and half-truths were mixed together, and the military department Shangshu was imprisoned, but the emperor thanked him for his meritorious service to the court for many years, but he was dismissed and dealt with, so that he had the opportunity to return to his hometown.
The old man of the military department was in tears, and he was reluctant to leave the capital.
Standing on the city tower, the prime minister could see the back of Xiao Suo, who was sitting in a carriage and leaving from the military department.
Zhang Sheng couldn't help but sigh, "It's a little pitiful to look at him like this, he has worked hard, and in the end there is nothing." β
"Are you blaming Prime Minister Ben for what he did?" The prime minister looked at Zhang Sheng.
"I'm just feeling that the world is impermanent, if only these people could be smarter." Zhang Sheng smiled and said.
The prime minister snorted coldly, "If they can all be smart, then this prime minister doesn't have to work hard, if they dare to stand in the way of this prime minister, they will definitely die without a place to be buried." β
