At this time, the little eunuch ran in outside the door, and when he saw this posture on the field, he didn't dare to speak, but his face was a little anxious and kept looking at Zhao Huan's side, Zhao Huan's personal eunuch hurriedly ran over, and the two of them whispered a few words.

Zhao Huan's personal eunuch hurriedly told Zhao Huan what the little eunuch said.

"Come on, drag this person out for me and behead him." Zhao Huan instructed the guards on both sides.

As soon as the guards who came to deliver the message heard this, they were frightened on the spot and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The big war is imminent, this person actually dares to disturb the morale of the army, drag him out and behead him for me, from now on, if anyone dares to surrender and escape, this table is his end." Zhao Huan said, took out a sword from the eunuch's hand, suddenly unsheathed, and with a "click", cut off a corner of the table in front of him.

"Knock knock knock......" The corner of the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound, like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of many officials present.

"The emperor spares his life, spares his life, the slave is just a messenger......" The eunuch's cry for mercy echoed in the hall, but the guards on both sides didn't care about this, pulled him outside the hall, raised the knife in his hand, and only heard a "click", and the sound stopped abruptly.

At that time, there were still many people in the court who were peacemakers, but when they saw Zhao Huan's attitude at this time, they all shut up with interest.

"Tobe Squire is there?" Zhao Huan said to the ministers.

"Wechen is here." An old, middle-aged man stood out from the crowd.

"The soldiers kill the enemy on the front line, I have only one request, that is, I must ensure the supply of food and grass for the front-line soldiers, if anyone dares to hold me back at this time, they will be dealt with by military law!" Zhao Huan stared at the old man in front of him and said.

The old man in front of him is not an outsider, it is Zhu Mian, one of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhu Mian was very favored in the Zhao Ji era, and he was not very cold to Zhao Huan, and at this time he had not fully accepted the identity change of the new emperor psychologically.

Hearing what Zhao Huan said, he couldn't help but look bitter and said, "Your Majesty, we really don't have any money in the treasury. ”

"Do you want me to help you solve this kind of thing? Then in my opinion, there is no need for you, the household servant, to be a servant. "Zhao Huan knows that the old man in front of him, don't look at the harmlessness of people and animals in front of him, but in fact he is a complete traitor, as the saying goes, the new official takes office with three fires, and Zhao Huan is ready to take Zhu Mian to burn this first fire.

When Zhu Mian heard what Zhao Huan said, his whole face turned red into a pig's liver color, he gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly: "Sage, it's not that the old minister wants to drag his feet, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, there is no money in the treasury, even if I want to contribute to the country, there is no way to do it." ”

Zhu Mian is preparing to take Zhao Huan's army.

"Since you can't do it, then you don't have to be the servant of this household, come to the person, announce the decree, Zhu Mian resists the decree and does not obey it, from now on, he will be demoted to a concubine, the whole family will be expelled from Beijing, and the descendants will not be allowed to enter the court as officials, and all the property under his name will be returned to the treasury." Zhao Huan didn't give Zhu Mian room to regret at all, and directly set the tone for his fate.

"What?" Zhu Mian was stupid at the time, he really didn't expect that the new emperor would be so ruthless, he only showed a little uncooperative emotion, and was directly removed from his official position.

"Sage, Weichen is guilty, and I also ask the sage to read that the old minister has worked hard for me for so many years, and forgave the old minister." Zhu Mian was also panicked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Conscientious?" Zhao Huan sneered, what he was waiting for was Zhu Mian's words, only to see Zhao Huan take out a piece of paper from his sleeve, throw it in front of Zhu Mian with a "snap", and shouted: "Read it to me!" ”

Looking at the recital in front of him, Zhu Mian was really afraid, and after glancing at the content on the recital, he hurriedly kowtowed vigorously with "dong dong", and kept chanting in his mouth: "Wechen is guilty, Wechen is guilty......"

"You read it!" Zhao Huan pointed to the eunuch next to him.

The personal eunuch was also in a state of confusion at this time, following his master for so long, to be honest, it was the first time he had seen his master with such a posture, in the past, he had always been submissive, and it was as ruthless and resolute as he is now.

"What? You don't read it either? Seeing this eunuch standing on the spot, Zhao Huan couldn't help but say coldly.

The little eunuch was stared at by Zhao Huan, only to feel that his body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he hurriedly reached out in fright to pick up the music in front of Zhu Mian, and read tremblingly: "During the integration period, the bureau was set up in Suzhou, and the official money was spent, and all kinds of money were stolen to extort flowers and stones, which is the first crime; Stealing and plundering, accumulating private property, and living a corrupt life are the second crime; Those who slander are immediately taken office, and those who do not attach themselves are all dismissed, and the third charge is called the 'small court in the southeast'......"

By the time he read it to the end, the little eunuch was already sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but wipe his sweat while reading it out loud, Zhao Huan did not list many crimes, only eight, but one of them was taken out at random, and it was a big crime that could make Zhu Mian lose his head.

Zhu Mian was already frightened at this time, if these charges were established, he would not be able to cut off even if he had ten heads.

"Sage, that flower stone gang was purchased at the request of the former sage, and Weichen was just acting on orders......"

"Bold, I dare to talk about the saint, drag this traitor to the street at the entrance of the vegetable market and behead him, show the world, and set an example! All of Zhu Mian's family property was confiscated. Zhao Huan's series of actions, the ministers present were dumbfounded, and now all the people finally understood, the emperor in front of him was not a tabula rasa emperor who didn't understand anything, on the contrary, he seemed to be ready to board the plane and become the emperor.

Zhu Mian wanted to say something, but the guards waiting on both sides didn't give him a chance to speak, and dragged him and began to walk outside, leaving only an increasingly faint voice begging for mercy until the voice disappeared completely.

The hall was silent at this time, and everyone lowered their heads, for fear that the new emperor's next fire would burn on their heads.

In troubled times, we must use heavy codes! This is the countermeasure that Zhao Huan had already thought of last night, and now in this situation, the top priority is to repel the Jin army first.

After dealing with Zhu Mian, Zhao Huan seemed to have suddenly changed into a person, he sat back on his dragon chair and said to the ministers in the audience: "Where is the Ministry of Industry?" ”

There was no answer in the main hall, and after a while, a man over half a hundred years old stood up from the end of the crowd, hurriedly knelt down to Zhao Huan and said: "Sage, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry has always been the chief manager Li Yan, and now he has left with the emperor." ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said to the man, "Is that so?" So who are you? What is the position? ”

"Back to the saint, Zong Ze of the Ministry of Weichen Works." The man's voice trembled a little, as a servant of the Ministry of Works, this was the first time that Zong Ze had the opportunity to communicate with the emperor face-to-face, and he was inevitably a little excited.
