In the Zhaoren Palace, the ministers looked at the silent figure not far in front of them with fear. Everyone knew that the imperial historian "Zhang Lu" had been assassinated the night before, and thinking of the rebellion the night before, the main envoy behind the assassin was about to come out. But since yesterday, "Zhang Lu" has been very calm, as if it was not himself who was assassinated.

If you are someone else, you will either take advantage of the power in your hands to maliciously retaliate against those political enemies on weekdays, or you will pretend to be sick and not win the sympathy of the king, but "Zhang Lu" is doing daily business step by step, which is the biggest abnormality. The imperial court suddenly lost half of the ministers, and the ministers were uneasy, especially those officials who relied on Han Xin and his group to rise to power, and everyone was in danger, for fear that they would be classified into the camp of anti-thieves.

It was under such circumstances that the ministers did not have the slightest resistance to the full implementation of the new law by "Zhang Lu" in Yingchuan County. Yingchuan County Guard, County Cheng, and County Lieutenant are reversed, it doesn't matter, I will continue to implement the new law; Zongzheng, Sikou, Si Nong, Sikong, and Taichang are reversed, it doesn't matter, I will continue to implement the new law. The more "Zhang Lu" calmly implemented the new law, the more uneasy the ministers became.

Someone asked "Zhang Lu" in a roundabout way, such a big thing happened in Xinzheng, whether to wait for Han Wangran to return to Xinzheng before making a decision, "Zhang Lu" simply replied "You dare to disobey the king's order" and scared the other party away. Today, Han Wangran invited "Zhang Lu" to take a ride, which undoubtedly shows that "Zhang Lu" is in favor of the body, and if anyone objects to this new law, Han Xin and his gang will be their end.

Just as the ministers were conjecturing, a trumpet came from outside the door, "The king has arrived!" ”

The ministers immediately turned around and bowed their heads to greet Han Wangran, who straddled the sword diagonally at his waist and walked straight to the center of the main hall. The courtiers saluted and shouted, "Ministers, see the king!" ”

"Get up!" Han Wangran said in a flat tone. Then there was no follow-up.

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Han Wangran means. There is obviously only one topic on topic today, and that is how to deal with Han Xin's messy party. But the king did not speak, which made everyone uneasy. For a moment, the hall was surprisingly quiet.

Not for long. Han Wangran looked around at the ministers for a week, and sneered: "Today is a routine court meeting, what's the matter, don't all Aiqing have anything to say?" If not, the widow will retreat! ”

The ministers' heads were lowered, and no one dared to offend Han Wangran's brows at this time. As if feeling that this was boring, Han Wangran pretended to be surprised and shouted, "Huh! Why are there so many people missing from today's hall! Thou hast not preached the will of the widow? Why didn't Master Sosho come? There are also Sikou, Sikong, Sinong, Taichang, and will be Shaofu. Why didn't they all come? Could it be that you are sick? ”

Listening to Han Wangran's mocking tone, the innocent "shot" confessor Ling replied stubbornly: "Your Majesty, Zongzheng Han Xin, Si Kou Han Xiu, Sikong Ji Ying, Taichang Gongsun Shi, Si Nong Li Gao, and Jiang Zuo Shaofu Han Wen intended to rebel, and they are now being imprisoned. ”

"Rebellion? This shouldn't be! They have a good life, but how can they rebel? Han Wangran said in surprise.

The confessor Ling obviously couldn't answer this question, but fortunately, Han Wangran didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he turned to the imperial historian "Zhang Lu" and asked, "Marquis Wenxing, if you remember correctly." Treason is a felony, so how should it be dealt with under the new law? ”

The ministers' hearts sank. Knowing the main event is coming. The previous conversation of knowingly asking was just Han Wangran revealing to the ministers how angry he was in his heart. The current dialogue is the tone of this court! How Han Wangran dealt with Han Xin's chaotic thieves and how to deal with his henchmen is related to the future of South Korea, and no one should be imprudent.

As a party, Fan Sui, who changed his name to "Zhang Lu", replied unhurriedly: "If the crime is confirmed." According to the new law, the clan was razed and their property confiscated. ”

"What if it's a knight? How to judge sin? Han Wangran asked.

"Strip him of his lordship, raze his clan, and confiscate his property." Fan Sui replied neatly.

Han Wangran nodded. Said meaningfully: "Just now, the edict said that Zongzheng and they rebelled, do you believe it?" ”

The ministers knew that Han Wangran was about to express his position, and immediately the imperial historian who was in charge of supervising hundreds of officials jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers want to impeach Zongzheng Han Xiu, and there are five responsibilities for his crimes. 1. Raising private soldiers, having a heart of disobedience, leading troops to attack the palace; 2. Playing with power and disorder, using the status of the royal family to oppress the good, and the people are angry and dare not speak; 3. Failure to comply with the new law, slaves, land, and houses that violate the specifications; Fourth, forming parties for personal gain, colluding with businessmen, buying and selling grain and grass in the state treasury; 5. Treason and rebellion, leaking important matters of the military and the country to other countries for profit. ”

Before Han Wangran could react, another imperial historian also jumped out and wrote: "The minister also has something to do, Si Kou Han Xiu has no king's law, and commits seven major crimes, one of which is ......."

Seeing Han Wangran nodding from time to time, the ministers who were already eager to try jumped out one by one and listed the crimes of the thieves who had worked hard to sort out them. One of the most attentive imperial histories actually gave the head of the traitor, Han Xin, 18 counts, which shows that he has good intentions!

Finally, when the last courtier had finished playing, the hall was quiet. Han Wangran looked at the ministers with great meaning, and said, "If it weren't for Zhong Aiqing's loyalty to collect their crimes, the widow wouldn't have known that the imperial court actually raised such a group of scum!" It's so sad and lamentable! ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately excused Han Wangran and said: "Not long after the king succeeded to the throne, he was blinded by these chaotic ministers and thieves. Now under the power of the king, the rebellious ministers and thieves have shown their feet, which is really the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people! ”

Han Wangran was noncommittal, and looked at Prime Minister Zhang Ping, the imperial historian Fan Sui, the Taiwei Tyrant Kite, the Shaofu Chen Sui, the Lang Zhongling Mengfu, the Weiwei Li Mu, and the Xinzheng Wei Sima De, who had not said a word in an extremely flat tone, and said: "A few Aiqing didn't say a word just now, what? Do you have an opinion on Zhong Aiqing's words? ”

Prime Minister Zhang Ping came out and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the ministers did not speak out is because the ministers have already listed the crimes of Han Xin and others. Many of these charges are not very clear to the ministers, and they dare not speak out in vain. But the ministers knew that Han Xin and others raised private soldiers, attacked the palace the night before yesterday, and even led the army to surround the courtiers' mansions. ”

Han Wangran nodded deeply at this time, and said: "The widow knows the loyalty of Zhong Aiqing, and now that the human and material evidence is there, the crime of rebellion by Han Xin and his gang has been implemented." As for what Zhong Aiqing said, they bought and sold grain and grass from the state treasury, hired murderers, raped other people's wives, and forced good people to become prostitutes, and asked Zhong Aiqing to hand over these criminal evidence to the Sikou Mansion! Otherwise, it is to frame a knightly minister! Did you hear me clearly? ”

Those ministers who fabricated charges against Han Xin and his group were shocked, they were just falling into the well, but they didn't expect Han Wangran to take it seriously. Seeing that Han Wangran's eyes glanced at the piece he submitted, intentionally or unintentionally, the ministers didn't know what Han Wangran meant. It seems that even if you find someone to commit perjury, you have to round this lie! In the future, it is better to do less things!

Looking at the ministers with sad faces, Han Wangran was happy in his heart. These people who see the wind and rudder should always taste the bitter fruits they have brewed, praise each other on weekdays, and once something happens, they will fall into the well without discipline, this style of work Han Wangran must be completely eliminated.

"This time, Han Xin and others committed the following crimes and raised troops to make a rebellion, which is really a great misfortune for our South Korea. According to the new law, if a person with a title commits a crime, a trial team should be formed by the person with the title to screen them one by one. This matter will be handed over to the Prime Minister, the Imperial Doctor, and the Keqing! Han Wangran said.

"Your Ministers obey!" Zhang Ping and the others had long known that this hot potato would fall into their hands, and immediately replied respectfully.

Han Wangran nodded, and then said: "If you have merit, you should be rewarded, and if you have it, you will be punished!" After this turmoil, now Zongzheng, Sikou, Sikong, Sinong, Taichang, and Jiangzuo Shaofu are all vacant, and other vacant positions can be delayed, but these few can't be delayed! Take advantage of this opportunity, the widow should be rewarded, and the promotion should be promoted! Eunuch order, come, announce the decision of the widow! ”

The eunuch who was standing on the side immediately unfolded the royal decree and read: "Wei Wei Li Mu, loyal and brave to serve the country, lead the troops to exterminate 2,582 rebels, and be crowned with loyalty and uncle, reward thousands of gold, and give thousands of acres of land!" ”

"Minister Li Mu, thank you to the king for Longen!" Li Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, stepped forward to receive the order.

"Lang Zhongling is obscured, the soldiers are used in a good way, the escort has made great contributions, and he is enshrined in prestige, rewarded with thousands of gold, and given thousands of acres of land!"

"Minister, thank you to the king!" Like Li Mu, Meng Fu, who was promoted from viscount to earl, seemed very happy. As long as you make great achievements, the Marquis is not a dream!

The eunuch order unhurriedly unfolded the third royal decree, and read: "Xinzheng Wei Sima De, the conduct is very good, the heart of loyalty to the king can be shown by the sun and the moon, this Xinzheng rebellion, led the troops to exterminate 3,723 anti-thieves, and captured Han Xin and the head of the thieves, the greatest meritorious service, the town of the country, the secretary, the reward of thousands of gold, the gift of thousands of acres!" ”

Before the words fell, the ministers looked left and right, shock, envy, and jealousy overflowing. Two days ago, Sima De was just a small new Zheng Wei, and his fortune was no more than 600 stones. But now he has been made an earl in a blink of an eye, and he has become a high-ranking official with 2,000 stones, which is really soaring!

Although he had long known that he would be promoted and reused, Sima De thought that he was probably going to be named Captain Yingchuan, after all, this was a high-ranking official with a rank of more than 2,000 stones. I didn't expect Han Wangran to let himself serve in the central court and praise himself more in his will. For a moment, Sima De only felt that all the grievances he had suffered before were worth it. Holding back the tears in his eyes, he bowed down and said, "Thank you, the king!" (To be continued......)
