At the beginning, Wu Cao came to the dynasty to weigh the system, and the minister was secretly opposed to her, and the Yangzhou Rebellion made the contradiction public, and King Luo Bin's text spread all over the world, and made the people of the world look at Wu Cao with a strange eye, so Wu Cao had to use cool officials to kill the world in order to subdue the world!

By the time Wu Cao ascended the throne and became emperor, the mission of the cool officials had been basically completed, and the primary task at this time had changed to calm the people's hearts and develop the economy.

Therefore, Wu Cao used the strategy of abandoning the chaos from the beginning to the end, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, killing the cool officials to calm the people's anger and calm the people's hearts! Rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, and birds are all hidden, which has been like this since ancient times.

In the first month of the second year of the Heavenly Grant, Li Sizhen, in the imperial history, saw that the cool officials framed the loyal and good, and the vertical and horizontal conflicts, and the twenty-four articles were sparse, stating the various harms of the cool officials.

Wu Cao Yuyu later agreed, and decided to open the knife to the cool officials who killed innocents indiscriminately and rectify the prison.

Zhou Xing also has a lot of eyes and ears, and he doesn't know through which channel he learned about some rumors, so he contacted Qiu Shenxian, planning to design a hijacking of Wu Cao and force her to return to Wulun.

Once their ruse succeeded, they were able to atone for their sins and save their lives, and they were able to continue to enjoy a life of prosperity.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the Holy Spirit Emperor Wu Cao received the congratulations of the civil and military officials in the Vientiane Shrine, and set up a banquet to reward the ministers after the congratulations.

Zuo Jinwu General Qiu Shenyun reported: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, tens of thousands of cardinals gathered in the sky above the Ming Hall, covering the sky and the sun! This morning, the minister inspected the upper garden and saw the flowers blooming in the upper garden, which is really an auspicious sign! Why don't your majesty go to the garden to watch the flowers and enjoy the greenery? ”

Wu Cao was surprised: "Is there really such a thing? Is it really possible that the flowers are in full bloom in the cold winter? "It's true!" Qiu Shenqian said.

Wu Siwen, the local official, said: "Your Majesty, there must be a demon when things go wrong!" ”

Wenchang Youcheng Zhou Xing came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister saw a hundred flowers blooming in the Shangyuan on the Shangyang Gate Tower, which shows that what General Qiu Shenyun said is true!" ”

Wu Cao said: "Since it is Da Zhou Xiangrui, I will go to Shendu Garden early tomorrow morning to watch the flowers and enjoy the green!" ”

Qiu Shenqian and Zhou Xing were secretly happy, and after retiring from the dynasty, the two took the opportunity of arranging the security patrol of Shendu Yuan to secretly arrange their cronies and prepare to kidnap the emperor.

Wu Cao returned to the Huiyou Hall to rest, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were suspicious, and he regretted agreeing rashly. But since he has already said that the gentleman has said that it is difficult to chase the horse, he should immediately think of a remedy.

Wu Cao summoned Yang Yizhen, the planting envoy of the inner garden, to inquire, and learned that there were almost no other flowers in the upper garden except for the plum!

Wu Cao said repeatedly: "Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!" Princess Taiping asked anxiously: "A-Niang, what can I do about this?" ”

Wu Cao said: "Daughter, don't worry, I have my own way to crack it!" Hmph, they also want to calculate me? ”

Wu Cao said while lifting the pen to write on the holy decree of the colorful Ruihe Ayajin, Princess Taiping looked at it, it turned out to be a poem "La Ri Xuan Zhao Xing Shangyuan":

The Ming Dynasty traveled to Shangyuan, and the fire was in a hurry to report the spring.

Flowers and whiskers are sent overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow!

After writing it, he handed it over to the inner servant Fan Yunxian, and ordered him to go to the Shendu Yuan Suyutai to announce the edict, and report that the spring god Jumang knew!

Fan Yunxian stood on the Suyu platform and loudly announced to the grass and trees in the garden, said important things three times, and then lit a fire, turning the colorful crane ayajin into a wisp of green smoke, floating up, and sending it to the hands of the spring god Jumang!

Because it is not yet the season for the spring god to travel, the bird-like and human-faced sentence was stepping on the bodies of the two dragons at that time, playing and playing in the Southern Heavenly Garden! Therefore, Ju Mang did not receive the poem "La Ri Xuan Zhao Xing Shangyuan".

At night, Wu Cao took a Zhai car to inspect the area of Suyu Palace and Ningbi Pond, and saw that the famous flowers and fairy grasses were not open. Princess Taiping shouted: "Oh no, no, where is the sentence with a human face and a bird's body?" ”

Wu Cao "brushed" and pulled out the knife that sharpened iron like clay, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, look at A-Niang's mana!" Can I be dying in the world, is it a waste of fame? ”

Princess Taiping hurriedly ran away and ran to the Suyu platform to watch.

Wu Cao swung his knife and spun rapidly, spinning like a twelve-level tornado, and shouted: "Dunhuang Flying Sky!" Then he went straight into the sky.

Princess Taiping was shocked and shouted, "A-Niang, where are you?" Be careful! Mother......"

I saw that the tornado moved rapidly along the Ningbi Pond, and suddenly burst open, and an incomparable warm wind blew through the Suyu Palace, the Wangchun Palace, and the entire Upper Garden.

The famous flower fairy grass and the weeping willow swayed from side to side together, trembling, all bathed in the warm spring breeze!

Only a moment later, Wu Cao fell from the sky, panting, and sighed repeatedly: "Old, old, exhausted!" The years are really a pig-killing knife, wow! ”

Princess Taiping ran over and cheered: "A-Niang, A-Niang, I worship you so much!" ”

Wu Cao put the knife into the sheath and entered the Suyu Palace with his daughter to rest.

In the early morning, Wu Cao sent people to gather the ministers to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers! When the civil and military officials gathered, it was already time.

Nayan Shi Wuzi, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Li Sizhen, Shang Yi Fengyu Liu Xinggan, Qiu Shenxian, Zhou Xing and other ministers entered Shanglin Yuan and saw peonies and peonies. , poppy, magnolia, camellia, begonia and other famous flowers are all in full bloom, purple and red, all over the palace, all jaw-dropping, amazing!

Qiu Shenyun and Zhou Xing originally had a hidden murderous intention, but seeing that the auspicious flowers in full bloom in the cold winter had really become a reality, they felt that Wu Cao was really ordered by the sky, and he was long-lived, so he didn't dare to act rashly anymore!

Wu Cao sensed that they had different intentions, and secretly actively planned and arranged the deployment.

A month later, someone went to Tongkuang to redress grievances and threw a whistleblower letter, accusing Qiu Shenqian of killing thousands of innocent officials and civilians in Bozhou in order to ask the court for merit and reward in quelling the rebellion of Li Chong, the king of Langya. Please ask His Majesty the Emperor to avenge the people's grievances.

Wu Cao was filled with indignation after seeing this, and immediately ordered the arrest of Qiu Shenxian, the general of Zuo Jinwu, and sent him to the heavenly prison, where Junchen interrogated and punished him.

Lai Junchen shackled Qiu Shenqian and led him to a dark, damp cell. Qiu Shenqi looked at it fixedly, and there was only a pile of straw in the cell, and there was nothing, not even a commode, so he had to lament and fall asleep in the straw pile.

However, the good times did not last long, and in the evening, Lai Junchen knocked on the bamboo pole to wake Qiu Shenqian from his dream and asked, "What crime have you committed?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Qiu Shenxun shouted, "I have not sinned, and there is nothing to confess. I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and have made great contributions. Before you were favored, I was a celebrity in front of Your Majesty! ”

"You rely on the old and sell the old, don't you recruit it, right?" Lai Junchen threw his sleeves away. Lunch and dinner were not settled, and Qiu Shenyun pressed his fat and rotten belly, already grunting with hunger.

Qiu Shenyun had to bend his waist for a bucket of rice, and pleaded to the jailer guarding the door: "I'm hungry, you can do well, be a good person, give me something to eat!" ”

The jailer replied: "If you don't confess honestly, you have offended a lot, how can you have food?" Eat, haha! ”

Qiu Shenyun was so angry that his eggs hurt, according to his previous temper, he had already cut off the jailer's head with a knife, but now, hey, he has become the jailer's food, and the jailer has become the upper level of the food chain, he can only bow his head and submit to the soft to live for a few more days!

Thinking of this, Qiu Shenqian begged for mercy: "I'll recruit, I'll recruit, brother, go get food!" The jailer took pen and paper and wrote him a confession. Qiu Shenyun wrote a few lines with a trembling hand.

The jailer took the confession and showed it to Lai Junchen. Lai Junchen took a look and scolded: "This TM is a resume, where is the confession!" Hmph, I want to deceive you into eating hot rice with this, don't think about it. ”

Lai Junchen glanced at the leftover food he ate and said, "That bastard only deserves to eat this, take it to him, haha!" ”

The jailer took the scraps and gave them to Qiu Shenqian to eat. Qiu Shenyun smelled it and said, "This is the leftover cold rice and cold vegetables eaten by others, and it can only be fed to pigs, and you actually brought me what you fed to pigs?" ”

The jailer sneered: "Do you like to eat or not, anyway, there is no more!" Qiu Shenyun was already so hungry at this time that his chest was pressed against his back, so he had to swallow his anger and gobble it up, without any dignity at all.

The jailer laughed and sneered at him.

It's a pity that a dignified general has fallen to the point of surviving on the leftovers of Junchen! It's really a phoenix with a spear that is not as good as a chicken, Qiu Shenqian was so humiliated that he slammed his head against the wall.

When Lai Junchen heard the bang, he urgently ordered the jailer to hold him down, press him to the interrogation chair, and handcuff him so that he could not move. Qiu Shenqian struggled and didn't move, and he was so angry that he became incontinent.

Lai Junchen sneered: "Want to die? Hmph, it's not that easy! A little more honed, haha! It stinks, it stinks! Lai Junchen shrank his nose and turned to leave.

The jailers also smelled bad and hid far away, leaving Qiu Shenqian alone in the interrogation chair and howling hoarsely in despair!

Qiu Shenqian was awakened by the sound of bamboo poles day and night, couldn't sleep, ate leftovers soaked with sand, feces and urine flowed, and the stench was stinking, and after a few days, he had been tortured to the point that he had no human appearance.

Lai Junchen ordered the judge to write a confession of guilt and submission to the law, and handed it to Qiu Shenxun to sign and draw the charge. Qiu Shenxian's eyes were glazed and he didn't reflect. The jailer smacked him so hard that he woke up with a thud.

Lai Junchen said: "Labor and management have not tortured you, no matter how honest you are, let you taste the power of dying when you ask for it, fixing a hundred pulses, and breathless!" ”

Qiu Shenqi cried out, "Kill me, I don't want to live!" The jailer brought a hundred veins of torture and threw it in front of him. This set of 100 veins is to nail bamboo sticks, sharpen the hard bamboo, nail it to the nails, pulse and meridians of the person's ten fingers, it hurts to think about it!

When Qiu Shenyun saw it, he trembled with fright, and pleaded loudly: "Pity my family full of loyal martyrs, but I didn't expect to be treated like this!" Father Qiu Xinggong followed the Qin King Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and made countless meritorious contributions. ”

"I have also defended the safety of the Holy Spirit Emperor many times in emergencies, helped the Holy Spirit Emperor get rid of the deposed prince Li Xian, and also made great contributions to quelling the Bozhou Rebellion!"

Lai Junchen laughed and said, "You also call it credit?" You are nothing more than a dog in front of Your Majesty, biting people at critical moments. You have indiscriminately killed thousands of innocent officials and civilians in Bozhou to ask the court for merit and reward, and you are guilty of a heinous crime! You think no one knows? Ha ha. ”

Qiu Shenyun was so angry that he was fighting, and he wanted to scold people but was afraid of the large number of veins, so he had to shout: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, and I can be regarded as a guide." Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, I fell into the hands of villains today, and I only want to die quickly! ”

Lai Junchen motioned to the jailer to hand the confession of confession and submission to Qiu Shenxian, and Qiu Shenyun quickly signed and drew the charge honestly, admitting that he was guilty of indiscriminately killing innocent people in Bozhou!

After the confession was reported, the Holy Spirit Emperor quickly gave instructions. Qiu Shenyun was dragged to the vegetable market and beheaded to show public to comfort the innocent people of Bozhou who were killed.

Soon, someone went to Tongkuang Xuankou to drop a whistleblower letter, accusing Wenchang Youcheng Zhou Xing and Qiu Shenqian of secretly interacting in private and conspiring to rebel!

Wu Cao sent Junchen to try the case. Lai Junchen thought about it, this Zhou Xing is a cool senior, and the Li Tang clan is mainly cleaned up by him, and he wants to make people take the initiative to confess and confess their guilt, I'm afraid it is not so easy.

After thinking about it, I finally made up my mind. Lai Junchen sent someone to invite Zhou Xing to the magistrate's court to attend the banquet, and by the way, he asked him about his experience in interrogating prisoners.

Zhou Xing came happily, came to Junchen to set up a banquet, and chatted while eating. Lai Junchen asked: "Brother, most of the prisoners are unwilling to take the initiative to confess and do not admit their crimes, what is the way to make them take the initiative to confess?" ”

Zhou Xing drank a glass of mulberry wine, sandwiched a piece of turtle meat and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "This problem is very easy to handle!" What prisoner would not confess if he took a large urn at his feet, placed the coals around the urn and grilled it, and then threw the prisoner into the urn? ”

Lai Junchen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered his subordinates to fetch the big urn, put the charcoal around the big urn and roast it, and then got up and said to Zhou Xing with a smile: "Brother, someone accused you of rebellion, and the lower officials were ordered to try it, and respectfully ask my brother to jump into this big urn to warm up!" ”

Zhou Xing was shocked, sweating profusely, and said tremblingly: "Use the way of others to treat others, please enter the urn!" High, high, really high wow! ”

The judge took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and came to Junchen and said: "For the sake of Brother Tai is the predecessor of the lower official, as long as Brother Tai takes the initiative to confess and confess his guilt to the law, he can be exempted from the punishment of inviting the king into the urn!" ”

Zhou Xing hurriedly bowed his head and confessed, and confessed. After drawing the charge, Zhou Xing was thrown into prison.

After Wu Cao read Zhou Xing's case file, he said to Lai Junchen: "Zhou Xing deserves to die according to the law, but he has also done many edicts and prisons before, so as to avoid his capital crime and exile him to Lingnan!" "Come to Junchen and go as he is told.

In early spring and February, the servants escorted Zhou Xing to Lingnan, and when they came to a remote and deserted outskirts, they suddenly encountered a group of masked robbers, and the officers were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Zhou Xing was wearing shackles and had difficulty moving, so he had to sit and wait for death.

A masked robber knocked Zhou Xing to the ground, ripped off his mask, stepped on his face with his foot and said, "Open your dog's eyes and see who the Sprinkle family is?" The Sprinkle family is the son of Zhang Siming, the Luoyang Ling who was wrongfully killed by you! Today's revenge has finally been avenged, borrow your dog's head to use, mark the mountain during the Qingming Festival to commemorate my father! ”

After speaking, Zhang Siming's son cut off Zhou Xing's head with a horizontal knife and roared away.

Someone also accused Suo Yuanli, a cool official, of unjustly killing innocents, arrogant and domineering, causing public anger.

At that time, Suo Yuanli had been set up by Lai Junchen, and it was useless, Wu Cao took the opportunity to unload the mill and kill the donkey, put him in prison, and ordered him to come to Junchen for interrogation.

Lai Junchen repeated his old tricks, locked Suo Yuanli with shackles, and said: "You are my predecessor and my teacher, so I shouldn't treat you like this!" But the will of heaven cannot be violated, and I have no choice, please ask Master Haihan! All I can do for you is arrange a good cell. ”

Suo Yuanli looked around and saw that the cell was spacious and bright, with beds and commodes, and it was really a good cell. Suo Yuanli shouted: "Brother bothered, I was wronged, brother should understand!" ”

Lai Junchen said: "Master Suo just rest at ease, I am here, everything is easy to say." The jailer sent a sumptuous dinner for Suo Yuanli to enjoy.

The next day, Lai Junchen asked the judge to write a confession about Suo Yuanli's unjust murder of an innocent person and arrogance, and took it to Suo Yuanli to sign and draw a confession.

Suo Yuanli is a veteran, and as soon as he saw this confession, he understood that this was his life, and if he confessed to the painting, he would be escorted to the execution ground immediately.

Faced with the threat of death, Suo Yuanli also struggled, refusing to confess and confess. Lai Junchen shouted: "Use the way of others to govern their bodies, and take the iron cage." ”

The jailer brought the heavens and the earth shattered the torture instrument and threw it at Suo Yuanli's feet. Suo Yuanli looked at it and thought that the iron cage was going to be put on his head, wedged into the wooden wedge around it, and then beat it with an iron hammer, the tighter the wedge became.

Suo Yuanli shuddered, and honestly picked up the pen and signed the confession, in order to die quickly.

Soon, Suo Yuanli was also dragged to the vegetable market and beheaded to show the public, and the onlookers applauded.

Wu Cao killed the old cool official with the new cool official, temporarily calming the people's anger.

But she kept Lai Junchen because she needed a dagger that would only obey her! Other cool officials can be discarded to appease the people's grievances, but as long as Lai Junchen is still there, she can continue to deter all the courtiers who dare to oppose her, and play a catfish effect in the court, which is in line with the science of talent management.
