85_85249 Two months later, Xia Gu City entered the hot summer, Ouyang Xuan's heart was indeed like winter, Uncle Xuan had been grinding for many days, Ouyang Xuan had not come out of the study, and the thick files were almost piled up in the study. Each file is evidence of an official's corruption and bribery, there are too many here, Ouyang Xuan roughly counted, involving 216 officials at all levels in Beijing, accounting for one-fifth of the officials in Beijing, and 76 local officials. Sixty-one of these officials were killed for refusing to cooperate, and 11 of them were killed. Almost all the Yulin officials in Beijing were threatened with various kinds of threats, and even assassinated, all of which ended in failure, after all, these people are not good stubble, and the entire Yulin Army is backed up. And all this happened in the two years that Ouyang Xuan had been sailing at sea. Now there are more than 80 people who have abandoned their official positions and fled with their families because they were threatened, which made Ouyang Xuan's murderous heart suddenly rise.

The Yulin Army, which sent two battalions, conducted a covert investigation, and even used recording equipment to conduct a two-month all-round reconnaissance of the DPRK and Chinese officials and major wealthy families. After a secret investigation, except for the Nie, Wei, Li, Gongliang, Taishu and other clans, all the other Huaxia Hao clans were involved in the case, especially the Zhou clan that Ouyang Xuan dealt with in Quanzhou back then. In addition to the other nearly 20 wealthy families, there are no less than 100,000 people involved in the case, of which as many as 50,000 are enough to be executed, almost all of them are in Gyeonggi Province.

Ouyang Xuan was buried in the file for three whole days, thinking about how to handle it, according to Huang Tingzhong's meaning, except for those involved in the murder, the rest were not to blame in the past. But Ouyang Xuan didn't want to do this, this is not in line with his creed of being a man, Ouyang Xuan is against the idea of the mean, a non-truth-seeking thinking, there is no benefit to social development, it will only bring about the loss of people's hearts and morals, Germans, Jews and England all have a truth-seeking character, so that there will be glory in the future, the reason why China first prospers and then declines is in the final analysis is the imprisonment of Confucian thinking, including the golden mean.

After thinking about it for many days, Ouyang Xuan finally made up his mind: arrest, execute, and kill. Coming out of the pile of case files, the first thing Ouyang Xuan did was to find Huang Tingzhong, who had been waiting outside the door, "Pass on my order, transfer all the Yulin Army and the Xia Gu base to assemble secretly, and transfer 100,000 headquarters troops to assemble around the capital in the name of military exercises within three days to listen to orders." Five days later, it was proclaimed that the Emperor was in charge of the country. In addition, the 200,000 troops who were trained in Xingzhou went out of the Huangbei Pass and conducted training outside the pass, and General Xianyu was responsible for the training."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to"

"I am desperate, don't persuade more, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future. This time, these people took advantage of the time when I went out on patrol to make waves and bully the emperor and empress. If you don't give it color, I'm afraid these wealthy families will make a comeback. Go down and give an order, and after five days, close the gates of the cities of Gyeonggi, and let the Yulim army take the people. It's not a violation." "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, Your Majesty hereby sends an order." Ouyang Xuan handed Huang Tingzhong the thick pile of transcriptions and waved him back. Continue to bury your head in the case file.

Tai Shuxuan didn't know when he entered the study, and took Ouyang Xuan's "Changhe Bazaar Map" that took two years to paint, "Your Majesty, this picture scroll is still inscribed, can you inscribe it first, so that you can mount it."

Ouyang Xuan looked up at Taishu Xuan and said, "After some time, I will finish dealing with the affairs of the court." In detail, I don't have this in mind now. It is a prosperous world, but the undercurrent is surging, and the slightest mistake will destroy the foundation."

"Well, it's up to Your Majesty. My brother and sister-in-law are waiting." Uncle Tai Xuan rubbed Ouyang Xuan's shoulder and said softly. After rubbing it for a while, he continued: "Your Majesty, the state affairs are very important. Why don't you eat some barbecue today to make up for Your Majesty."

Ouyang Xuan looked up at Tai Shuxuan, and there was a hint of evil smile hidden under the concerned expression on his face. Ouyang Xuan can't help this girl who doesn't seem to grow up, he has been in this study for two months, and he has never seen Uncle Xuan enter the door for more than a quarter of an hour. Now that there has been no file sent for five days, I came to see Ouyang Xuan. After watching it for a long time, Ouyang Xuan suddenly said, "If you want to eat, don't you hurry up and prepare." As soon as the words fell, Tai Shuxuan had long since disappeared.

This barbecue was the most enjoyable meal Ouyang Xuan had eaten in the past two months, and he made an exception and drank two jars of wine with Tai Shuyuan. The conversation between smart people is very simple, that is, they keep drinking, talking about some trivial matters of family life, which are not related to national affairs at all, and the metaphors are only understood by two people. At the end of the banquet, Ouyang Xuan silently extended a thumbs up to this drunken brother-in-law in his heart. This is a smart person, who does things in a low-key manner, never pretends to be a relative, and does not oppress others with the status of a colt. In Huaxia University, even some new teachers thought that he was just an ordinary teacher, but they never thought that there was Ouyang Xuan, the brother-in-law, and the current emperor, behind him, and the uncle family has always been low-key, but the western states are very low-key to do some cattle and sheep business, never get involved in anything else, and do not make trouble. Even the merchants they associate with don't know that their clan has a royal relationship. Ouyang Xuan, such a model, felt a little guilty, and also gave Nie Sheng an order to take more care of him in the business, and transfer the milk powder business that was being developed to Uncle Tai's to take care of.

Six days later, the residents of Summervalley City, who had risen early, suddenly noticed that there were many more soldiers on the streets, and the city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. As the sun approached, the notices posted on the walls of various streets and roads showed that the Emperor Taishang was rectifying the government on behalf of the Emperor of the Southern Tour. The Great Imperial Meeting, which has not been held for more than two years, is being held today in the Hall of Political Affairs, and it is not the emperor who sits on the throne, but the founder of the country. Outside the door is no longer the palace guards, but the majestic Yulin Army. All officials of the DPRK and China who are above the eighth rank are allowed to participate in the grand court meeting and are not allowed to be absent without reason. When the officials rushed to the political hall one after another to see the Yulin Army, everyone's faces were mixed.

The appearance of the Yulin Army here can only mean one thing, when the imperial history in front of the palace hall announced the beginning of the early dynasty, Ouyang Xuan entered the political hall surrounded by two Yulin guards and palace ceremonial officials. Sitting on the throne in the center, Huang Tingzhong stood on the left side of Ouyang Xuan and glanced at the officials standing in front of His Royal Highness. Ouyang Xuan said in a straight voice: "Zhugong has always been good? I have been ascending to this throne for more than 10 years, and there have been some rumors in recent days that have made me very worried, so I am in court today."

The officials below were just about to salute when they were interrupted by Ouyang Xuan, "There is no need to be too polite today, I treated you like children back then, and the emperor treats you like brothers today, but how have you done in the past few years?" colluding with wealthy families, forming parties for personal gain, and even killing people and overstepping goods, disregarding human life, causing national law and child's play". In the latter words, Ouyang Xuan was already full of anger when he spoke. "When I first set the salary, it was the highest ever given to officials at all levels, and the monthly salary of cabinet officials was more than six times the annual income of a commoner's family. There are also officials in the cabinet who are so unbearable, how can I deal with them? Ouyang Xuan's sharp eyes swept over every official in the front row, if his eyes could kill, it was estimated that there would be several people splashed with blood on the spot.

Some of His Highness's officials were calm, some were silent, and even their legs were trembling. This kind of court meeting held in the government hall is only available once a year after the year, and today's early dynasty of this scale has surpassed the court ceremony, and almost all the officials above the eighth rank in Beijing are all present, and only the officials above the fourth rank are eligible to participate in the court ceremony.

Looking at the crowd of black oppression, Ouyang Xuan stopped speaking Chinese, waved his hand and called Huang Tingzhong, "Tell the dukes what I have secretly investigated, don't be afraid of a long time, what I have more is time, I have been here for more than a hundred years, and I don't care about this day and a half day." "No!" Huang Tingzhong walked down the steps and bowed his hand, which was also the first official to speak out at the court meeting. The large and small officials standing in the hall, except for the Yulin temporary official, everyone else was very surprised by this sturdy official who was only about twenty years old, and the person who could stand beside the emperor to discuss politics was no one else except the current emperor.

Huang Tingzhong clapped his hands, and more than twenty Yulin guards walked out of the screen at the back of the hall, each holding a heavy cardboard box and placing it in front of Ouyang Xuan's desk, and then stood on both sides of the steps with their heads bowed and waited for the next step. His Royal Highness's officials noticed that these Yulin guards were a little different from the Yulin guards outside the door, everyone had a murderous look on their faces, especially the difference was that each of them had ten sets of silver handcuffs.

Huang Tingzhong took out a red dossier from the first cardboard box, opened it, and began to recite it one by one according to what was written on it. After Huang Tingzhong finished reading the charges listed in the file, Ouyang Xuan drew his sword from his seat and placed it on the desk. The golden sword body that flashed blue light made people feel intimidated when they looked at it. Except for the Yulin officials, none of these officials had seen the true body of the sword in Ouyang Xuan's hand, but today the sword was close in front of them, and many people did not dare to look at it. I heard Ouyang Xuan say slowly: "Zhen Fu, can you have a rebuttal?" ”。

"Your Majesty, although your subordinates are at fault. But it should be the current emperor, Your Majesty is already a person who has abdicated, and secretly investigating us, is there a suspicion of manipulating the country? The other subordinate only obeys His Majesty the current emperor, and the emperor manipulates the country in this way because the subordinates think it is a rebellious act, and everyone will be punished."

Of course, he will not argue with the things listed in the file, because they are all things with conclusive evidence, and there are witnesses, testimonies, some facts and evidence, and Zhen Fu even saw his own carefully hidden account book in the box. It is futile to deny it, so I can only start with Ouyang Xuan's identity as the emperor. "Oh? When the words came to Erkou, it really made me speechless. It has been one hundred and twenty-five years since I was founded, and you are the first person to dare to question me."

"Others don't dare, it's because they are afraid of the military power in the hands of His Majesty, and the ministers are not afraid. Naturally, he dared to speak out, and the current emperor was just a puppet without an army. All of them are given by the Emperor Tai, and since ancient times, there are no two monarchs in the country, and the Emperor Taishang doesn't want to manipulate the country? To be the wicked man of the country? Emulate the Han Court Lu Shihu? Colleagues, are you right? Finally, Zhen Fu turned back to everyone and said.

Many people stood up and gestured, saying in their mouths: "What the Zhongshu Order says is exactly what it says."

"Clever words. I admire it very much, if you send you to the Great Wall, you will definitely retreat to the army of ten thousand people with the benefit of your tongue. It's just that you have used it in the wrong place, and the country of China has been established by me, and I will take strict care of it. No matter what you say, in this Chinese world, I can still be the master. You and others think that they have power in their hands, and they bully the emperor and are weak. I am not a person to be deceived, since I have no objection to the number of sins. On the crime, the nine clans, the law department, can I be wrong? ”。

"Your Majesty, according to the law, you should copy the family and punish the nine clans. It's just that there has been no such thing as a punishment in our country for many years, and I ask Your Majesty to think twice," said the judge of the Criminal Department's Department of Justice.

"Since this is the case, then I will change the rules, and someone will take Zhen Fu down, and destroy his nine clans." "No!".

The two guards came down from the steps, grabbed Zhen Fu, who was still arguing, and without saying a word, they cut off his hands and handcuffed him when they came up. and drag it out of the temple. Zhen Fuzi is unwilling to die, and is still making the last struggle. The mouth kept chanting "The Emperor Taishang wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, it is a great rebellion, and heaven will not tolerate it" and other words. Ouyang Xuan was still unmoved, until he broke free from the Yulin guards and rushed to Ouyang Xuan's case, Ouyang Xuan waved his hand to stop the guards who were about to come forward. Showing a hideous smile, he picked up the sword on the desk, and on the seat, he swung the sword his wrist and slashed obliquely from top to bottom, and in the blink of an eye, Zhen Fu was already in a different place, and blood was splashed on the spot. Ouyang Xuan didn't let people clean it, but continued to let Huang Tingzhong read the file, and the smell of blood filled the entire political affairs hall. Every time he finished reading someone, Ouyang Xuan had to ask himself and the law secretary again. With the slightest resistance, Ouyang Xuan's sword would fall. The worst thing is that Pei Shilang, who was directly beheaded by Ouyang Xuan in court, and struggled on the ground for nearly five minutes before dying.

It wasn't until the middle palace on the moon that more than 50 people were dealt with, and six people were killed in court, all of whom were members of the court and the central government above the third grade. Ouyang Xuan finally ordered Yu Lin Jun to arrest people according to the list, and each person who was arrested had a file in front of him, until the dawn of the Heavenly General All 216 officials pleaded guilty to the case. Before dawn is often the time when people are most vulnerable, Ouyang Xuan ordered the whole city to arrest the family members involved in the case and the wealthy families involved in the case.

By the time the first rays of sunlight fell in the morning, Summervalley City was already a different world. The streets leading to the execution ground were filled with prisoners waiting to be executed, and a thick layer of coagulated blood had accumulated on the execution ground. The whole city was filled with the smell of blood, and Ouyang Xuan was sitting in the position of the chief criminal officer of the execution ground, staring at the tortured person without blinking, and there was the meteorite divine sword on the desk. The executioners are all Yulin soldiers, the execution knives have been changed three times, and the people have been changed six times. Ouyang Xuan did not have the slightest sympathy for these people, although many people had already come to persuade them, and some people proposed exile instead of the death penalty, but Ouyang Xuan was still unmoved, and transferred another division of Yulin Army to carry out the execution. There are 58,000 men, women, and children. Slaughter? Killing is also a deterrent, and the entire operation is carried out in a unified manner, and such a scene is being staged in almost every city.

The entire execution process lasted until the end of the evening, and Ouyang Dan, who was far away in Kunming, Dian Prefecture, finally showed a rare smile on his face when he received the report forwarded by Yulin Army. hugged Empress Zhang tightly and said, "We will go back to Beijing tomorrow, our ancestors have finished our work, and I should go back."

Empress Zhang wiped a handful of tears and said with a crying voice: "It's just that I pity my uncle's family, who have just lived a good life, and suffered this catastrophe." The emperor is too ruthless. Fifty-eight thousand people were killed like this? It's even more white than it is."

"Not killing is not enough to anger the people, and killing is too heavenless. The ancestor was a battle-hardened person, who slaughtered 100,000 people in the Xiongnu headquarters, and the Xiongnu did not dare to make a mistake in the past hundred years, and decided the side matter in one fell swoop. Looking at the sea lighthouse, more than 10,000 lonely souls turned into bright lights, making the bandits tremble, the people happy, and now there are no bandits on the sea. Dongyang Bloodbank, like a boulder, has pressed the world's martial artists for two years, and they dare not take a step against the law. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Great Wall fought a battle to deter the Han court for a hundred years. This is the power of deterrence, that is, the ancestors can do this, and I am far from it. In today's world, as long as there are ancestors, I can govern the country with peace of mind. Originally, I wanted to deal with the wealthy family myself, but I couldn't do it, but it would make these people more rampant. Such a move by the ancestors can also ensure the peace of China for a hundred years. As for the afterlife, let it be handled by Duo'er. Come to the people, spread my will, and drive back to Beijing"
