Shao Wuqing touched the dragon chair, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, but there was a cold killing intent in his eyes, anyone could see it.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "The ministers are terrified-"

After the usual "panic" was completed, more eyes gathered on Lord Zheng. As a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, and a teacher of Taisun, he is full of knowledge and Confucianism, and he is deeply affected by the emperor's grace, but everyone knows that his Shangshu is about to come to an end.

Hong Qian, this person, is extremely ruthless and cold, if you want to participate in the impeachment of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, you should work hard, if you don't move, you will be thunderous. When should I retreat to the background and command from afar, and when should I go to the front of the stage and be generous in order to get rid of the ministers, the ministers who have been in the court for a long time naturally know in their hearts, and many people are shaky and pale.

He stood expressionlessly in the middle of the court, ignoring the many stares of the ministers, his right hand poked into his sleeve slightly, and there was a book hidden in the sleeve, which listed Nie's friends, hooked with cinnabar, which could be regarded as the end of his life. Hong Qian's hand touched the paper in his sleeve, and the slightly hard touch made the corners of his mouth hook up with an almost invisible smile, and a sense of accomplishment in mastering the life and death of others filled his heart.

Today's atmosphere in the early dynasty is very strange, but Shao Wuqing seems to be unaware, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, and said lightly: "Zhongqing, is there really nothing to play?" The ministers were still speechless, Hong Qian was calm, and he was still silent when he stood in the middle of the court.

Shao Wuqing nodded and smiled slightly, as if there was a bit of murderous intent in his smile. "If all the secretaries have nothing to do, I have something to ask, where is Hong Qian, the secretary of Dali Temple? I ordered you to thoroughly investigate the case of Nie's rebellion, but has it been resolved? ”

Hong Qian walked out of the corner with a solemn face, and then took out the roster again, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Nie thief and the rebel party are all among them!" ”

Half of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government changed color, and the Zheng people led by them almost fainted.

Shao Wuqing nodded, waved his hand slightly, and the little yellow door in front of him immediately presented Hong Qian's roster to Shao Wuqing, Shao Wuqing glanced at it lightly, and saw that the first person on it was the official of the court, and then glanced at Hong Qian.

Hong Qian's face remained unchanged, and he still straightened his waist, waiting for Shao Wuqing's reply.

Shao Wuqing hesitated for a moment, then threw down the roster, and said lightly: "The ones listed in this booklet are all officials who are dependent on Nie Yi?" ”

Hong Qian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no one in this roster who has been wronged, and it is all Nie Rebel's friends!" ”

"Good, good, you can handle it."

Hong Qianleng looked at the thin booklet for a while, and looked at Huang Shao Wuqing curiously.

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Arrest first and then interrogate."

Hong Qian took the booklet, turned around and looked at the ministers with different expressions in the Fengtian Palace, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, in fact, he also knew that this was Shao Wuqing giving him an opportunity to establish his prestige in front of hundreds of officials, but he has always been an obscene person, although he does not say inferiority, he must already give up on himself. Accustomed to making tricks behind other people's backs, if he wanted to arrest people with knives and guns in front of everyone, he couldn't help but feel a little weak...... "cough cough ......"

The sound of dry coughing echoed in the quiet hall, Hong Qian smiled slightly at the ministers, in the eyes of everyone, but it was extremely hateful, he immediately unfolded the booklet in his hand, cleared his throat again, and shouted outside the hall: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" ”

The soldiers standing outside the hall responded in unison, and their roars shook the sky: "Here!" ”

The ministers standing in the hall trembled with fright, and many of them had collapsed to the ground weakly, their faces were gray, and they looked like dead people. Needless to say, these officials are of course the backbone of the Nie Party, and they know that this time they are already doomed.

Hong Qian glanced at Master Zheng, as if looking at a dead person, then lowered his head again, looked at the roster, and said in a loud voice: "Whose name I read, you will arrest him and put him in prison!" Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Zheng, please!"

Hong Qian strode up to Lord Zheng, stretched out his hand gently, and then showed a cold smile, Lord Zheng was shaky, he couldn't hold on any longer, and was just about to paralyze, two wrestlers had already walked into the hall, grabbed Lord Zheng's arms, and quickly dragged him out.

After Master Zheng was dragged out, Hong Qian obviously sped up.

"Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Zhongqian, arrest!"

"Supervise the imperial history, Wu Wenhui, arrest!"

"The right waiter of the ministry, Zhou Xian, arrest!"

"The right waiter of the Criminal Department, Lu Wenda, arrest!"

"The household department is in the matter, Li Yuanan, arrest!"

“……”

The ministers in the court were all trembling with fright, their faces were pale, their lips were purple, and they looked at Hong Qian, who was still reading his name, and behind Hong Qian, the corners of his mouth sneered and glanced at them Shao Wuqing. Seeing one colleague after another, they didn't even dare to say anything to beg for mercy, and they were taken down in despair, and this kind of huge psychological pressure was unbearable for a group of people who had been officials for more than ten or even decades.

Until Shao Wuqing finished reading, the ministers in the hall had already decreased by half. The rest of the ministers, some of them had a clear conscience and their faces were as usual, some were full of joy and sighed that they had escaped death, and some were worried and panicked. Hong Qian put the booklet away, and when he looked up, he saw that there were half fewer people in the hall, and he was a little happy in his heart, there were a lot fewer people who were unhappy with him before, and there were also a lot fewer people who he hated.

"Your Majesty, the Nie Party has all surrendered to its rebellion!"

"Humph!"

Shao Wuqing stood up with an angry face, slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, and said gloomily: "This group of scum! I treated them as soldiers, but they repaid me with swords! It's just ungrateful! Hong Aiqing, I order you to interrogate him quickly, these people are all beheaded! And Nie Reverse, I want to punish him for the Nine Clans! ”

The ministers all knelt down in the emperor's thunderous anger, and said in unison: "The emperor is angry......"

The Son of Heaven was angry, millions of floating corpses, and the New Year of the Emperor was about to be spent in a mournful roar.

Three days later, the emperor issued a holy decree on the case of the Nie Party's rebellion, and all the members of the Nie Party, a total of more than 800 people, were all beheaded, and the party leader rebelled against Nie, the crime was extremely heinous, and the nine clans were exterminated, and his immediate family members were sentenced to Ling Chi's punishment and executed on the spot. As soon as the holy decree was issued, the world was shocked, the mountains and rivers were stained with blood, and the officialdom was turbulent. The case involved a large number of people, the scope was extensive, plus the families and relatives of the convicts, and the total number of people who were killed was tens of thousands, and because there were so many people killed, the criminal department had to temporarily open four legal centers on the outskirts of the capital, and the army was mobilized to maintain order. For a time, the clouds and fog outside the capital were gloomy, the gloomy atmosphere was thick, the cry shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river. On this day, there were 10,000 empty alleys in the capital, and the people came to the execution ground to watch the demons who took the lives of their relatives ambush, and after the people had to take revenge, they did not know who took the lead, and bowed down in the direction of the palace, and shouted in unison Long live our emperor.

In the bluestone workshop, Shao Wuheng sat quietly behind the screen, and there were sparks splashing in the stove, but he still felt a little chilled, the winter in the imperial capital was too cold, and he didn't know if he could survive this cold winter.

"What has Liu Lian been doing lately?"

He suddenly remembered that in this imperial capital, there were still a few people who could say a word.

You'er was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and said softly: "Lord Liu came to look for his son a few days ago, and in the last few days, he has been ...... at home without leaving the door."

Not far from the Qingshi Fang, there is a small courtyard, in which the sound of the piano is melodious, which is incompatible with the slaughter of this imperial capital.

The fingers caressed, and the crisp and pleasant sound of the piano poured out from Yun Fei's fingers like flowing water. Liu Lian leaned comfortably on the bed, squinting slightly, as if he was asleep.
