The guard's sword was raised high above the young official's head, but he didn't cut it down immediately, he was waiting for Fu Xiujie to give the order.

Fu Xiujie didn't really want to kill officials at this time, he was afraid that once he saw blood, more officials would be inspired to rebel and stand up against him, and the situation would easily become uncontrollable.

Fu Xiujie thought for a while, he changed his tone and spoke to the young official, "For the sake of your young and vigorous people who are easy to say the wrong thing, I will give you a chance now, as long as you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistakes to me, and show that you are willing to support me, I can not kill you." ”

When the young official heard Fu Xiujie's words, he looked disdainful, "Fu Xiujie, you traitor, you think that if you pretend that you will let me go, I will bow my head and surrender to you, I tell you, as long as I can still breathe, I will definitely hold my head high and resolutely oppose you to the end." ”

Fu Xiujie was suddenly so angry by his words that his eyes turned red, and he said viciously: "I think you really don't know how to lift, since you are in a hurry to find death, then I will fulfill you, come on, cut off his head for me, I want everyone present to see what will happen if you dare to disobey me." ”

The guard's hand holding the sword fell, and the young officer closed his eyes, and the other officials looked away, unable to bear to see the bloody scene.

However, the cruel sword did not fall on the young official's head, at the most critical moment, Gu Shengan suddenly struck, he directly knocked the guard's sword off, and then swept the guards of the young official around him away.

Fu Xiujie saw that Gu Shengan finally couldn't help but make a move, he sneered and said, "Gu Shengan, do you want to protect these officials?" I'm going to see how long you can keep them. ”

The sword in Gu Sheng'an's hand exuded a cold aura, his eyes were extremely cold, he looked at Fu Xiujie, and said, "Fu Xiujie, you are so bold, you dare to kill officials unscrupulously." ”

"Why don't I dare, I tell you, all the ministers present today, but anyone who dares to disobey me, I will kill them all, and I will leave only those who submit to me."

When the young official heard Fu Xiujie say this, his blood suddenly surged, and he turned around and said loudly to the ministers behind him: "Ministers, you have also heard it with your own ears, now Fu Xiujie wants to kill all the ministers who agree with him, please don't be silent anymore, we must stand up and defend our rights, if you don't rise up to resist today, once Fu Xiujie succeeds in rebellion and replaces the emperor on the throne, then you will always have to tremble and submit to Fu Xiujie's feet in the future, But even so, Fu Xiujie will not let you go in the future. ”

The young official's words immediately reminded many officials present, especially those who had been political enemies of Fu Xiujie in the past, and they knew in their hearts that they had completely offended Fu Xiujie.

So even if he doesn't stand up against Fu Xiujie today, he can barely escape, but once Fu Xiujie really succeeds in seizing power today, then Fu Xiujie will also kill them all in the future, so they wait for death slowly, it is better to fight the team as soon as possible, after all, there is still Gu Shengan now, as long as Gu Shengan does not lose, then there is still room for maneuver.

More and more officials chose to stand up, they came directly behind Gu Sheng'an, and begged: "Mrs. Gu, Fu Xiujie dares to hold the emperor hostage and rebel, and the ministers ask the prince to find a way to get rid of this traitor and save the emperor." ”

Gu Shengan looked at these ministers who asked him, and he spoke: "Ministers, don't worry, since you bravely stand up to defend the emperor, then I will definitely save your lives, and I will not let Fu Xiujie kill you easily." ”

Gu Shengan said and turned his gaze to the young official who was the first to stand up, and he asked, "You are very courageous and courageous, but I see that you are a new face, tell me, what is your name." ”

The young official didn't expect Gu Shengan to suddenly ask his name, he bowed down and replied: "Qi Taifu, Wei Chen only joined the official this year, but he is a small official of the ninth grade, it is not strange that Tai Fu has not seen Wei Chen, Wei Chen's name is Li Huai." ”

"Li Huai?"

Gu Shengan felt that this name was somewhat familiar, he seemed to have heard it somewhere, he thought about it, and suddenly reacted, "Isn't Li Huai the new champion this year?" ”

"Weichen did take the gold medal in the imperial examination this year, and Taifu also gave a question to test Weichen during the palace examination, thank you Taifu for remembering Weichen's name."

"That's right, I did have a question about governing the country for you to answer, and I was very satisfied with your answer at the time. How did you become a petty official of the Nine Grades again? ”

When Li Huai heard Gu Sheng'an ask, a trace of indignation flashed on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end, he replied: "Taifu, it's useless to be a minister, after joining the ministry, because he failed to do his job well, he was demoted from the ministry and became a minor official." ”

In just half a year, it was reduced from five grades to nine grades, how many of them were greasy Gu Shengan didn't know, he guessed that an official like Xiang Li Huai who was full of enthusiasm must have been squeezed out by all the officials after entering the ministry, so he would be demoted so quickly.

Li Huai is a capable person, but it is a pity that the current court is a ghost, a snake and a god, and those ministers in high positions always only know how to safeguard their own rights and expand their own power, and the relationship between the officials of the DPRK and China is intertwined, and it is difficult to rectify it at all.

Moreover, these officials are all treacherous and cunning, and in order to protect themselves, they form gangs and factions, and the party fights against differences, and the newly appointed officials will be co-opted by them, and those who are willing to be co-opted will soon join them and become a mess.

And those who are not willing to chase fame and fortune like them and go with the flow will be frantically excluded by them, and finally degraded, or can only be a small official who can't speak forever, which must be the case with Li Huai today.

Gu Shengan stared at Li Huai, he smiled at him slightly, and replied, "Li Huai, I remember your name, and I also remember what you did today." ”

"It's really an honor for Weichen to remember Weichen."

Li Huai hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Taifu, the minister is willing to give up this life today, and he will definitely not let the traitor Fu Xiujie succeed in his rebellion, and the minister swears to stand on the emperor's side and defend the emperor." ”

Seeing this, the other officials also expressed their attitudes to Gu Sheng'an, and replied: "The ministers also swear to follow the Taifu to defend the emperor together, and never let the traitorous ministers succeed in usurping the throne." ”
