Emperor Zhaowu is very cool today, he has never been so cool in his last dynasty for half his life. He sat firmly on the dragon chair www.biquge.info his majestic gaze slowly swept under the imperial steps, but wherever he could see, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground.

Finally, finally, finally they all knelt. His Majesty the Emperor thought to himself, if it had not been for the wrong occasion, he would have sung and danced to express the excitement in his heart.

Today, I didn't shout anything as usual, 'I have something to do and play early, and I have nothing to do with rolling up the curtain and retreating'. The old eunuch Zhuo Yan walked to the front of the steps tremblingly, unfolded a volume of holy decrees, and read in a deep voice: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor's edict says: God confers the Son of Heaven with authority, and hundreds of officials assist the Son of Heaven to herd all the people." It is to be entrusted by the letter of the Son of Heaven and relied on it as the humerus, and the hundred officials should repay each other with all their hearts and souls, and be loyal to their duties, although they can't thank Your Majesty in case. ”

"However, there are now the crown prince and the prince, Cheng Guogong, and the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, Wen Mouyanbo, who is favored by the emperor, tired of encouragement, undressing and pushing food, and has nothing to add, but he does not want to repay the effect, has no discipline, corrupts the five constants, is full of evil, and it is difficult to write. With the lizard as the heart, the jackal becomes a nature. If he is still stealing the national weapons and getting away with it, what face will I have to see the emperor and the queen of heaven and the people again? ”

"It has eight major crimes, and it is now announced to the world, and I hope that all the people will know that it is not my unkindness, but it is actually that the people of Wen are intolerable, and people and gods are jealous."

"One of them is 'mutilating the loyal and good'. Wen is lustful, insidious and vicious. In order to become a Zaifu, he did whatever it took to murder the former Prime Minister Li Cheng, and finally got what he wanted. In the 20 years since he stole power, he fabricated charges and framed and killed a total of 31 loyal and good generals, and countless exiles were excluded. Dare to ask Zhongqing, Wen Mou's behavior should not be killed? ”

"The second is 'selling the official mantle', Wen is bold, and he actually marked the price of the official position of Daqin, with 5,000 taels of county orders, 20,000 taels of prefects, and 100,000 taels of governors. Wen said proudly: "All the officials in the world are out of my house." His words and deeds caused the people to grit their teeth and their neighbors to despise and ridicule. Dare to ask Zhongqing, where does he place the law of Great Qin? Where is the face of the imperial court? When to kill or not to kill? ”

"The third is called 'manipulation of the imperial examination', since the early years of Zhaowu, Wen has controlled the imperial examination, installed cronies, wantonly solicited bribes, blocked the way for the country to obtain scholars for 20 years, and finally made the world's scholars angry, gathered in front of Chengtianmen, and entered the imperial state. Wen was arrogant and arrogant, and actually killed and injured more than 100 soldiers. Let's ask Zhongqing, should such a person who has no king's law be killed? ”

"The fourth is called 'corruption and perversion of the law', Wen has been in power for nearly 20 years, and has accepted bribes of more than 30 million taels of silver through canals, official sales, imperial examinations, etc., which is equivalent to three years of taxes in Great Qin. One of them is richer than Shi Chong, arrogant and lascivious, but it makes the people of the world miserable, painful, and there are eventually unbearable people who rebel and rebel. As a result, the country of Daqin was full of wolves, lives were devastated, tens of millions of people were displaced, and thousands of acres of fertile land were increasingly barren. Let me ask Zhongqing, such sinners through the ages, should they be killed or not? ”

"The fifth is called 'connecting with foreign countries', Wen Mou for his own selfishness, colluded with the Southern Chu spy Gong Liangyu, privately let the enemy into the customs, leaked top-secret information, and eventually led to the rebellion of Maitreya and the destruction of life. May I ask you, do all the scum who have forgotten their ancestors be punished by everyone? ”

"The sixth is called 'killing his wife and slaughtering his son', Wen is a perverted person, first killing the original Liu, and then killing the Xuxian Han, his cruelty and thirst for killing can be seen. However, there is a saying that 'tiger poison does not eat children', and he actually killed his eldest son Mingli and his youngest son Mingren in front of the hall, and such atrocities are sensational and unheard of. Dare to ask Zhongqing, if you don't kill him, where is the reason of heaven? ”

"The seventh is called 'assassination of the prince', Wen Mousi's conspiracy was foiled, his death was not far away, and his jealousy and hatred for the five princes also reached its peak. Unexpectedly, hundreds of assassins were entangled with the day before yesterday, and they committed murder on the street, almost stabbing the king of Longwei to death. Fortunately, God blessed my son, although he died nine times, he finally got out of danger. Such murderers are crazy and outrageous, dare to ask the public qing, should they be killed or not? ”

"The eighth is called 'plotting to assassinate the king', Wen Mou sensed that the end was approaching, and actually colluded with the guards, frenzied, and planned to assassinate the widow in the Zichen Palace. Woohoo Zhongqing, Wen is cruel and crazy, terminally ill, if you don't kill him, what good will it be? ”

"Its eight major sins can be killed, and God and man are jealous, and heaven and earth are not tolerated. It's still hiding evil intentions and stealing artifacts. In the end, the heavens are angry and resentful, and the guilt is not increased. Dare to ask Zhongqing, what should this person do? Chin this. ”

The old eunuch quietly withdrew after reciting the lengthy decree in a hoarse voice.

Emperor Zhaowu's gaze swept over the hundreds of officials with defeated faces, and said with a mocking face: "Dare to ask Zhongqing, what should this person do?" ”

The hundred officials were silent, and they lowered their heads one by one, lest they be asked by His Majesty. In fact, there is no point in how to deal with Prime Minister Wen...... His old man's head is in a different place, do you still want to whip the corpse?

What the hundred officials are worried about is 'Zhulian', haven't you heard that there are two crimes: 'selling official positions' and 'manipulating the imperial examination'? The civil and military officials in this court, except for a few veteran scholars and generals, can be hooked up by this crime. They were silent one by one, and they couldn't stand steadily. If you hadn't heard the most fatal words 'forming a party for personal gain', I am afraid that you would all be begging for your life, where would you dare to talk more.

Emperor Zhaowu was very satisfied with the current state of the hundred officials, squinted his narrow eyes, and sneered in his heart: "This is how to be good, when you are a courtier, you should have the appearance of a courtier, don't be arrogant and domineering, what kind of ...... is it' Looking at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yanwu, who was standing in the forefront of civil officials, Emperor Zhaowu smiled: "Koji Aiqing, you can talk about it." ”

Everyone's eyes focused on the respectful face of Koji Shangshu, and they suddenly realized that as the bitter master who had been suppressed by the Wen family, it was time for Lord Koji to turn over...... Even if he takes over Wen Yanbo's phase, it is possible.

Lu Yanwu ignored the envious or jealous gazes of others, hurriedly walked to the front of the imperial steps, raised the wat board in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the evidence in the case of Prime Minister Wen is conclusive and irrefutable; There is no doubt about the crime. ”

Baiguan's gaze suddenly became strange, and he said in his heart: "Sure enough, it fell into the well." ’

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes flickered and asked, "Wei Zhengyi, tell me, how should I be sentenced?" ”

Wei Zhengyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, walked out sweating profusely, and whispered: "Even if it is only about the intention to assassinate the monarch and rebel, the main culprit should be beheaded by Ling Chi and his direct descendants, and his nine clans should be ......punished."

But he heard Lu Yanwu say loudly: "Your Majesty has something to say." ”

Emperor Zhaowu bowed his head and said, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

Lu Yanwu arched his hand and said: "Although it should be the case according to the law, Wen Yanbo had the merit of supporting the establishment back then, and he should be deducted from his guilt, and he also asked His Majesty to be merciful outside the law, so as not to let others say that the court is unkind." ”

Emperor Zhaowu frowned slightly and said, "Supporting the merits? ”

Qu Yan and others said: 'The prime minister has always treated me well, if I don't say anything at this time, I will inevitably be treated as a turtle with a shrunken head. Then they came out one after another, bowed their heads, and said, "I beg Your Majesty to be extrajudicial and merciful......

Emperor Zhaowu seemed to hesitate and said, "Yuting, what do you think?" ”

The crown prince hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Playing the father, the sons and daughters also think that it is better to only get rid of the first evil and let his people go, so that it can also show the magnanimity of the father." ”

"Yutian, you are the bitter master, can you tell me?" Emperor Zhaowu smiled.

Qin Lei arched his hand and smiled: "Jane is in the emperor's heart and the sacred heart is dictatorial. ”

Emperor Zhaowu couldn't help but say, "Little slippery, tell you about business." ”

Qin Lei had no choice but to frown and say, "Since everyone thinks so, it's hard for Erchen to say anything." ”

Emperor Zhaowu nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'm getting more and more sensible," he said and turned his head to Wei Zhengyi and said, "Wei Aiqing, if it is according to what everyone says, what do you think should be done?" ”

Wei Zhengyi pondered for a moment and said softly: "The three tribes of Yi and the men of the nine tribes have migrated for eight thousand miles, and the female dependents have all been filled into the Inner Servant Province. After a pause, he said, "As for Wen Yanbo's father and son...... It also depends on His Majesty's intentions. ”

Qin Lei suddenly interjected with a smile: "Old Wei, you are too unruly, since you said that you want to spare them, don't make any famous names like 'migrating eight thousand miles and filling into the Inner Servant Province'." The Lone King knows, it's no different from being dead. "Qin Lei has always been very dismissive of the relatives and friends who can't be beaten by the eight poles.

Wei Zhengyi cried out in his heart: 'Didn't I see that you were unhappy, so I was ruthless and reckless? Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't shoot Zhou Zheng, he hurriedly remedied: "Your Highness is really as merciful as Your Majesty, but Weichen is not thoughtful, so don't pursue the nine clans, only exile the three clans." ”

Before Qin Lei could speak, Emperor Zhaowu nodded and said: "It's so decided, the immediate family of the Wen family will ask and behead, confiscate the family property, and the rest of the net will be opened, and you can move out of Kyoto within three days." ”

"Your Majesty is merciful." The officials kowtowed and praised.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Qin Lei pursed his lips and did not speak again. Although he felt that this was all heavy, there was no need to be bored.

This matter passed like this, and no one asked where the poor Prime Minister Wen was now. It's all come to this, and no one wants to offend the hot Fifth Highness.

Everyone had no objections, and they all waited quietly for His Majesty the Emperor to speak, but Emperor Zhaowu looked at the ministers faintly, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think it's a fluke?" ”

The ministers chuckled in their hearts and said secretly: 'It's here! One by one, they quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be well-behaved and pitiful.

I heard Emperor Zhaowu sneer and said, "None of you are clean!" Who can pat your chest and say that you have nothing to do with Wen Yanbo? The officials hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "The ministers are guilty, please punish your majesty......"

Emperor Zhaowu's slender fingers stroked the armrest of the dragon chair, and he laughed and said, "Do you really want me to do it?" ”

The officials shook their heads vigorously, kowtowed and begged for mercy, wept bitterly, and said: "Please ask Your Majesty for mercy, I won't dare to wait anymore......"

Emperor Zhaowu said lightly: "If I really want your dog life, what am I still doing with this nonsense?" ”

The officials said, 'We think the same thing...... If you don't make enough appearances, you're not happy to do it. Quickly kowtow like pounding garlic, some of them were expressive, and they also snorted and smeared the red and gold-inlaid carpet in the golden hall into a crystal light.

"Alright, don't cry!" Emperor Zhaowu patted the armrest, glared and said, "Look at you, do you still look like a big Qin man?" ”

The officials quickly stopped crying with a whimper, pumped the big proboscis back into their noses, and choked up: 'We...... We're so ashamed, so grateful......

A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Zhaowu's mouth, and he quickly straightened his face and said: "Listen to me one by one, the reason why I don't pursue you is not because you cry loudly enough and look miserable enough!" ”

The officials pouted and knelt on the ground, looking at Emperor Zhaowu pitifully, only to see him get up and pacing a few steps on the imperial steps, and then pointed to the 'Jianji Suiyou' plaque above his head, and said loudly: "It's because of the iron box behind this!" It's because of my oath. At that moment, he felt that he was extremely stylish.

Sure enough, the hundred officials showed expressions such as 'suddenly', 'gratitude', and 'admiration', and listened to Emperor Zhaowu's deep teaching: "Last month, I swore to heaven and gave you three years to reform your ways. If you go on a killing spree now, although it is reasonable, it is a bit of a violation of the oath, so I will bear with it! ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, we will ...... it later," the officials kowtowed and said loudly, with a look of indignation.

Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand, "Don't sing high-pitched, I just want to ask you, I have a golden mouth and keep my promises, but how many of you take the oath of the day seriously?" ”

The officials hurriedly confessed: "We all remember the oath of the day, recite it in the morning and evening, and do not dare to slack off at all." ”

Emperor Zhaowu smiled contemptuously: "It's a good word, first memorize the sixteen-character oath of the day." ”

Adults, look at me, I'll look at you, a few people with good memories know that this is a call for help, so they quickly got up and said: "Change your mind, change your life, be law-abiding, and fulfill your duties." The adults suddenly realized, and they stumbled and recited it.

Emperor Zhaowu sneered, "Did you do it? ”

"I did it......" This time the voice is more neat.

"Fart!" Emperor Zhaowu suddenly roared hysterically: "You did it, how could my exam questions be leaked in advance?" almost made Wen Yanbo's dead ghost see the joke! ”

The officials are really aggrieved now, they have basically only heard about it, but they are not qualified to participate in it at all, but in the face of the emperor who suddenly became angry, they can only bear it honestly.

Emperor Zhaowu also knew that this matter had nothing to do with the officials, he just wanted to find a reason to vent it, so that the officials could not grasp their joy and anger.

The prince and Qin Lei hurriedly persuaded the crazy old man, and it took a long time for Emperor Zhaowu to sit back on the dragon chair, leaning on the back of the chair tiredly, and said hoarsely: "Get up, if you commit it again, you will not be spared." ”

After his ravage, the officials were completely obedient, and got up honestly and said, "Your Majesty." "I stand on my nose and my nose on my toes, and I have never been obedient.

The old eunuch Zhuo Yan brought white fungus soup to Emperor Zhaowu, and Emperor Zhaowu took the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly: "This matter has passed like this, and no one is allowed to mention it again." ”

The officials felt that a big stone had finally fallen to the ground, and they all felt a little prostration.

"Let's talk about it." Emperor Zhaowu handed the cup to the old eunuch and commanded softly.

The officials looked at each other, quite a bit of dry staring, it turned out that people have been panicking these days, and no one has prepared to play the music.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Zhaowu smiled and said, "It seems that there is no Ben, so I will tell you." ”

Officials hurried to listen.

"This Wen Yanbo case has taught me a heavy lesson, and I have learned from the pain, and I deeply think that I can't entrust the power to one person, so I ......" His gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said word by word: "From now on until thousands of generations, Great Qin will no longer have the post of prime minister." ”

Although the officials have been numbed by him today, they are still like a thunderbolt, and they all open their mouths and say: "Abolish the prime minister? ”

Emperor Zhaowu nodded and said firmly: "Yes, the position of prime minister will be abolished, Zhongshu Province will be changed to a cabinet, and five cabinet scholars will be set up to jointly assist the government!" ”

Only then did everyone know that His Majesty was going to divide power......
