Chapter 439: Punish the Nine Clans to Make an Example!
"Such a huge right, He Qiu is not satisfied, his wolf ambition can be seen to be not small, His Majesty trusts him so much, but reports it like this, it is really chilling, Weichen suggests, deal with it according to the law, punish its nine clans, and announce it to the world!"
"Weichen seconded!" The civil and military officials shouted in unison.
"Xiangbang!" Wei Li snorted lightly!
"The minister is here!" Meng Ge bowed down respectfully and responded.
"Spread the edict of the widow emperor, announce to the world, Wei Chu assassinated the widow, sought power and usurped the throne, and the children of the ministers headed by He Qiu colluded with each other, according to the law of the Great Wei Empire, punished its nine clans, in order to set an example, ten days later, pull in the downtown area, in front of the people of the city, behead its rebellious ministers!" Wei Li shouted murderously.
If this order continues, it is estimated that thousands of people will be killed!
"No!" Meng Ge bent down and shouted.
"Your Majesty, He Qiu and other rebels have been beheaded, and the court is empty, so officials should be replenished immediately, so as not to miss state affairs!" Re-ascended and bent over as a composer.
In the case of Wei Chu, there were too many people involved, such as Yanwei, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Neishi, and Taifu.
If the servants, Zongzheng, and pawns are gone, there will be no big problems, and if Yanwei and Zhisu Neishi are gone, there will be big problems, an imperial judiciary, an imperial treasury!
"Make up for the weight first, re-promote, the widow ordered you to extend the position of lieutenant, temporarily lead the Jingzhou Taishou, Xiangbang, you are a little tired, and you are responsible for the affairs of Su Neishi!" Wei Li ordered with a solemn expression.
"No!" Chongsheng and Meng Ge immediately responded to the compilation.
I was a little happy in my heart that I was finally promoted!
"The rest of the official positions are vacant, and it's not too late to propose it again after beheading the traitorous ministers and the party!" Wei Li said angrily.
The civil and military officials bent down in unison, signaling understanding.
Wei Li threw a look at Si Zhong, Si Zhong was proud, and immediately raised his head and shouted loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Hundreds of civil and military officials bent down to make a compilation to send them off.
Wei Li got up from the throne, shook off his big sleeves, walked down the high platform from the small staircase, and left the Taizheng Hall from the apse.
After a period of time, the emperor's edict also spread all over Tianjing City, and at the same time, with Tianjing City as the center, radiating all over the city...
In response to this incident, the people were highly unanimous, scolding He Qiu and Wei Chu for their henchmen, and they were all preparing to make some rotten eggs to smash these rebellious ministers against the party.
Prison!
"Your Majesty, Wechen is wronged, let Wechen go!"
"Woo!"
"Bastard, you unscrupulous descendant, it's all you, it's all you who hurt my Zhang family, and I was beheaded by the Nine Clans, God, why did you give me such a stupid son, why are you not good, go and follow the people to rebel!"
"Woo, idiots, all idiots, Your Majesty is so wise, how can you be Your Majesty's opponent!"
The prison was overcrowded, and from time to time there were deafening cries, and countless officials who had been stripped of their official robes were holding on to the iron cage with tears on their faces, some officials were crying bitterly, some officials were desperately begging for mercy, and many officials were crying while punching and kicking their sons.
There are too many people arrested this time, comparable to the last rebellion of the old nobles, the maids of each family's house were arrested together, and the crime of rebellion is not only to punish the nine clans, but also to behead the whole house, what does it mean? Even if you have anything to do with the rebels, even if it's just a friend or you are a subordinate in their house, you will die.
In each official's house, there are hundreds of people, and there are many officials involved this time, and when added together, it is a terrifying number.
In the last cell of the prison, He Qiu's family was imprisoned.
He Qiu hid in the dark corner of the cell, let out a choked cry, his body trembled, and his wife and concubine, children and grandchildren, and daughters-in-law all sat on the ground dejectedly, silent, and all cried into tears.
The officials are gone, the glory and wealth are gone, the faces of the ancestors are all lost, everything is empty, everything is in vain.
He Qiu got up from the ground with difficulty, raised his hand to wipe his tears with the placket of his clothes, and walked in front of He He, who was full of fear, and saw his father walking towards him, and took a few steps back again and again, until he was close to the wall, and then stopped.
"Daddy..."
He Qiu raised his hand and pointed at He He angrily, and said in a hoarse voice: "You still have the face to call Dad, it's you, it's you, it's you bastard, let my He family be beheaded with all faces, and be punished by the Nine Clans, thousands of lives, all on you!" ”
As he spoke, his dried eyes flashed with tears again, his face was flushed with anger, and his expression was extremely angry.
"Ahh He He also began to cry, slumped under the corner.
When He Qiu saw this scene, his whole body trembled with anger, "You are still embarrassed to cry, you still have the face to cry, Lao Tzu beat you to death!" ”
He Qiu used all his strength to hit He He with his fist, He He hugged his head and cried, and the rest of the He family did not stop it, nonsense, still stop it? What are you kidding, if it weren't for him, how could the He family have ended up like today!
It's all over the place!
After a while, He Qiu seemed to be tired, and sat on the ground, his expression was full of sadness and pain, the whole person was weak, listless, and his hair was scattered like a chicken nest, gray and embarrassed.
He Qiu's eyes flashed with tears, he shook his head slightly, and said to himself with a twilight expression: "I, He Qiu, am an official at the age of eighteen, and with the help of my father, I am on the rise, and I directly sit on the post of governing the internal history of Su, and I am called friends with Li Xiang and Zhang Taiwei at the beginning, and we will jointly assist the first king!" ”
"At the age of forty, the first king died, Prince Lang and the two sons ate shrimp and died of poisoning, the throne fell on the head of His Majesty today, at that time, Li Xiang said that the king rectified the palace by thunderous means, and the future will become a big disaster, when the new king is abolished, and the young son Chu is the king!"
"But this plan has not yet been implemented, Li Xiang and Zhang Taiwei were sent to the prisoner of war camp by His Majesty and went to the battlefield, neither the Li family nor the Zhang family came back from the battlefield.
"Assisting Your Majesty for twenty-four years, I have witnessed Your Majesty seize every inch of land with bloody wars, and I have also witnessed the growth of Wei from a country of projectiles to a unified country that sweeps the princes of the world, and now it is the conquest of Baiyue, ancient and modern, for the emperor, this great meritor, only my Majesty the Emperor!"
"But that's it, the incident of twenty-four years ago is repeated again, the rebels have changed from Li Xiang and Taiwei Zhang to the old man, supporting people, and he is still the son of Chu, haha, fate creates people, it's just that, the old man has lived long enough, almost seventy, and he has seen the world that countless sages want to see!"
"I, He Qiu, was born anti-bone, and I have been anti-twice in my life, hahaha!" He Qiu suddenly burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of desolation.
