Historically, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, he faced the problem of how to deal with the ministers of the Han family.

The problem faced by Cao Cao was that most of the ministers had fornicated with Yuan Shao, and they were in Cao Ying's heart in Han. If Cao Cao punished these ministers of the Han family, he would lose the support of the world's families.

In the end, Cao Cao chose to compromise, not only did not punish the dissenting Hanchen, but also incorporated the Hanchen celebrities under Yuan Shao's command into his own system. These Hanchen were grateful for Cao Cao's "mind", and were relatively honest when Cao Cao was alive, and most of them supported Cao Cao's career.

What Gao Ligong suggested to Li Zhi was to deal with the civil officials of the court like Cao Cao.

However, Li Zhi knew that although the Han Dynasty family in Cao Cao's camp was not aroused in the Cao Cao era, as soon as Cao Cao died, he used his huge power to make a comeback and intensified his efforts, allowing his successor Cao Pi to pass the infamous "Nine Grades of Chinese Human Law".

The Legalist culture established by Cao Cao throughout his life was completely defeated in the face of the human law in the Nine Grades. Since then, the family has not only controlled the imperial court, but also completely lost the channel for talents from poor backgrounds to become officials.

Cao Cao's approach was for a reason, a large part of his strength came from the family, and he was afraid of losing the support of the family, without which he could not unify the world. But Li Zhi is not afraid, all of Li Zhi's strength comes from technology beyond this era, from the three provinces of Tianjin, Shandong and Northeast China, which Li Zhi painstakingly manages from top to bottom to educate with public morality and rule of law.

Depending on the source of strength, the countermeasures taken will be completely different.

Li Zhi would never allow a defeated civilian official to blend into his ranks.

However, Li Zhi is not in a hurry to deal with these civil officials, after all, these are all subordinates of the Son of Heaven, and if Li Zhi wants to deal with them, of course, he must first make it clear to the Son of Heaven.

If these civil officials are rejected murderously now, I am afraid that the civil officials will all scatter and flee to Jiangnan incognito. At that time, even if Han Jinxin's hands and eyes are all over the sky, he will have to miss a lot of things that are hidden deeply.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Wenyue, who was talking to him, and decided to stabilize him first.

"The officials are so diligent, the widow will naturally not shirk it, but the initial affairs of the capital are complicated. If you want to feast, you have to wait for the reward of the Son of Heaven to come down. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the eyes of the civil officials around Chen Wenyue lit up.

Li Zhi actually agreed to Chen Wenyue's banquet.

You must know that the civil officials in the DPRK and China have always slandered and suppressed Li Zhi in every possible way. Except for Zhang Guanghang, a scholar of Dongge University, there was no civil official in the imperial court from top to bottom who was friendly with Li Zhi.

And now when Li Zhi won a complete victory, Li Zhi agreed to the banquet of the civil official.

It seems that Li Zhi is not ready to continue to be an enemy of the civil officials, but is ready to use the prestige of the great victory to make friends with the civil officials and establish his own team in the imperial court.

The civil servants looked at each other for a while, their eyes shining with excitement.

Li Zhi is now the dominant family in terms of military strength, and if Li Zhi unites with civil officials again, he can firmly control the imperial court and become an authority beyond the Son of Heaven. At that time, the entire Ming Dynasty will have Li Zhi to have the final say, and whatever the Son of Heaven thinks, he must first ask for Li Zhi's consent.

In this regard, the civil officials are of course optimistic. For civil officials who are proficient in power tricks, as long as they can survive and maintain their current positions of power, there will always be a day when they will turn over.

The civil officials seemed to have all transformed into Li Zhi's colleagues in an instant, and they surrounded them one after another.

"The prince's big victory this time, the megatron of the sea, is really the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty."

"There is no one in the world who can stop the king of the county."

"The king of the county can govern the government in the future and rule the world with the Son of Heaven."

Seeing that the civil officials had become extremely harmonious with Li Zhi in an instant, and had even openly said that Li Zhi could control the government, Wang Chengen's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.

If Li Zhi really joins forces with the civil officials, the Son of Heaven will become a complete disadvantage, and Li Zhi will really have the final say in this world.

This Li Zhi is really a wolf ambition.

However, the Son of Heaven still felt that he was a loyal servant and wanted to canonize him as a prince.

Wang Chengen thought about it, and couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh.

Li Zhi looked at the civil officials around him and frowned, but he was unwilling to say much to these civil officials. With a flick of the sleeves of the dragon robe, Li Zhi no longer stayed under the execution ground, but strode towards the execution platform.

The civil officials were elated, as if they had become Li Zhi's followers, and followed Li Zhi to the stage.

When Wang Chengen saw that scene, he couldn't help but snort again. Finally, at the end of the crowd, he slowly walked to the viewing platform alone.

Everyone sat down on the execution platform with their hearts in mind, and the executioners began to work.

"The hour has come!"

The executioner shouted, and the people in the audience burst into applause.

Obviously, the people hated Wu Sangui of the Jiangbei Army who tried to overthrow the new law of the Son of Heaven.

Holding a short knife in his hand, he walked towards Wu Sangui, who was trembling.

First of all, the first action was to stuff a large piece of cotton cloth into Wu Sangui's mouth to prevent Wu Sangui, who was tied, from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

This action completely made Wu Sangui collapse.

The so-called Ling Chi is to cut the flesh of the condemned prisoner, cutting off all the muscle fat of the non-critical parts of the condemned prisoner's body with one knife at a time, so that the condemned prisoner will gradually die in incomparable pain. It is said that an experienced executioner can cut more than 3,000 knives on a condemned prisoner, and it is not until the 3357th knife that the life of a condemned prisoner is understood.

The cruelty of this criminal law can be said to be the pinnacle.

Wu Sangui thought of the pain he would have to endure next, and he had lost all his will. With a cotton cloth in his mouth, he desperately kowtowed in the direction where Li Zhi was. Knocking and knocking, blood came out of his head.

He didn't want to live, he just wanted to get a happy one, and not to bear a thousand cuts.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Sangui, who had broken his head, and said nothing.

The executioners arrested Wu Sangui, tied him to an execution pillar, and quickly stripped him of his prison clothes.

The execution began.

Knife after knife, the executioner's short knife swung on Wu Sangui's body.

The execution ground suddenly sounded Wu Sangui's screams like killing pigs. However, every time Wu Sangui screamed, the people on the execution ground burst into laughter. From time to time, the excited people shouted cheers, rejoicing that the rebellious gentry would finally be severely punished.

This kind of punishment is too cruel, Li Zhi, as a traverser, couldn't stand it after seeing more than a dozen knives, and closed his eyes.

When the surrounding civil officials saw Li Zhi's appearance, they felt more and more that Li Zhi was a "good old man" who was not strong-willed. They looked at each other for a while, and felt that Li Zhi would eventually unite himself with these civil officials.

Li Zhi has the ability to invent new weapons, but if he talks about power, I am afraid that he is not the opponent of civilian officials at all. Civil officials know when to go in and when to leave. When to be arrogant, when to be patient.

Li Zhi can't even stand Ling Chi, he is so undetermined, what can he do to fight with the civil officials?

This court, after all, is still the world of civil officials.

The privileges of the gentry will also be regained after game after game.

Wang Chengen looked at Li Zhi's appearance, then looked at the happy expressions on the faces of the civil officials, and snorted again.

On the execution ground, the executioner's knife skills were very exquisite, and he really cut more than 3,000 knives on Wu Sangui's body. When he got to the back, Wu Sangui had already lost too much blood and completely fainted, and no matter how he cut him, he didn't react.

Amid the deafening cheers of the people, the executioner stabbed Wu Sangui in the heart with the last sword, ending the life of the rebel commander.
