At noon on the second day, the battle situation of the first battle between the two armies was presented to the Great Qin Taiji Palace, and as soon as the battle situation was received, Emperor Tianqing passed down an order.

All the officials above the fourth rank in the imperial capital all went to the court to hold a court meeting. The ministers, who received the emperor's order, rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

Not to mention that the emperor's order is greater than the sky, the minister, who is usually lazy and lazy, rushed to the palace as soon as he received the order of His Majesty the emperor.

In just half an hour, all the officials above the fourth rank gathered outside the palace. Everyone suddenly received the emperor's order, and the minister who had a ghost in his heart naturally felt a little abrupt in his heart.

As soon as the officials met, they whispered to each other.

"Master Li, do you know that His Majesty the Emperor has suddenly summoned us and others, is there something important?"

"I don't know too much, but His Majesty the Emperor must have summoned him so urgently, there must be something important. ”

"Do you still need to think about this? I heard that the border pass is 800 miles ahead today, and I guess there is some news about the war at the border pass. ”

"Did you win or lose?"

"Don't talk about it yet, your majesty will naturally know when you see the emperor. ”

As soon as these words fell, the whispering ministers all closed their mouths, and the group walked towards the Taiji Palace.

The ministers entered the Taiji Palace, and the emperor was waiting early.

Of course, not only Emperor Tianqing was in the Taiji Palace, Zixi and Mo Hongyi and Yun Ling were also standing in the Taiji Palace.

The ministers saw that there were three women standing in the hall, and they were standing next to Emperor Tianqing. All the ministers were shocked, but they didn't say a word.

Now the emperor on this dragon chair is no longer the immature boy he was back then. The current emperor no longer needs the advice of his ministers, and he is completely arbitrary, even if he says it today, the result is nothing more than that, and he can't shake the emperor's decision in the slightest.

In recent years, the ministers have also become accustomed to it. No more will be said. After the ministers saluted.

Emperor Tianqing looked at the Manchu Dynasty and said: "Have you ever heard such a sentence, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers." ”

As soon as these words fell, among the ministers, some ministers faintly sweated out, and there was no need to think about it, naturally they had done something unseemly.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty spoke, only Liu Disillusionment stood up and said: "The minister has naturally heard it, in the wind, you can know whether the grass is tough, and in the turmoil, you can know whether the courtier is loyal." ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded and said: "Okay, Zhong Aiqing also knows that now that the border war has started, it is an eventful time. Now can be regarded as the time of turmoil in my Great Qin!

There are strong enemies outside, and it's enough for me to be busy. But recently, I have heard some bad things in the court. Liu Aiqing, what do you say I should do?"

As soon as they heard this, many ministers panicked, their faces had changed, and they thought that they had done enough secrecy. But even so, he still couldn't escape the eyes of Emperor Tianqing.

Those ministers who have ghosts in their hearts can see obvious beads of sweat on their foreheads, and there are a few who have good mental qualities.

But it's just a calm look on the surface, but in fact, it's a panic inside!

Now their eyes are all looking at Liu Disillusionment, and life and death are all dependent on Liu Disillusionment. They were very afraid of this decisive emperor.

Liu Disillusionment opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, now is the eventful autumn of my Great Qin, and some things are better to be taken lightly. But there are some serious people, it is better to kill. ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded, obviously agreeing with Liu's disillusionment, and those ministers who knew that they had committed a deep crime chuckled in their hearts and lost all hope. They knew that they were afraid that they were going to fall to the ground today.

Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "Doctor Qingguanglu, Yi Mufeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Li Qingfeng, Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, Pei Qinghu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Yuwenyu. What are you four guilty of?"

When the words fell, the four people who were named immediately came out of the queue and knelt on the ground, Yi Mufeng, Li Qingfeng and Yu Wenyu were all terrified to the extreme, except for the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Pei Qinghu was very calm.

The four of them knelt below, and Emperor Tianqing said: "The four of you use your power to oppress the people, embezzle and accept bribes, I'm afraid your family is already very rich." I've got the proof out of this, so what else do you four have to say?"

The three of them hurriedly kowtowed, and said in fear: "The minister is guilty, the minister deserves death, please be merciful! Your Majesty will spare your life." ”

Only Pei Qinghu didn't say a word, nor did he kowtow. Emperor Tianqing looked at Pei Qinghu, and there was more appreciation in his eyes.

Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "Ministry of Works, Pei Qinghu, why don't you speak?

With Emperor Tianqing opening his mouth to speak, the other three except Pei Qinghu closed their mouths, Pei Qinghu looked at Emperor Tianqing and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has not wronged Weichen. ”

Emperor Tianqing said: "Since I have not wronged you, why don't you beg for mercy like the three of them? ”

Pei Qinghu didn't answer Emperor Tianqing's question, but looked at Emperor Tianqing and asked, "Then will Your Majesty be soft-hearted, will you let the four of us go?"

Emperor Tianqing hesitated, smiled and said: "Naturally not, will you not eat a fish because of its wagging tail and begging for mercy? ”

Pei Qinghu nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty won't, why should the criminal minister do anything more." And the guilty man understands from the moment of embezzlement.

No matter how clever your corruption methods are, you can only hide it for a while, not for a lifetime. Don't be greedy if you're afraid of death. If you are greedy, your life will be lost.

All corrupt officials know this truth, but they know it a little late. ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at Pei Qinghu with some appreciation and said, "You are an understanding person. If you don't sin unto death, I will not kill you, but I will even use you again. ”

Pei Qinghu just smiled and stopped talking, some things were done, there was no chance to regret it, and there was no way back.

Emperor Tianqing closed his eyes and said, "Come on, drag it out, don't need to be imprisoned, just cut it down!"

With an order, the four of them naturally couldn't escape the end of the crowd. Emperor Tianqing looked around at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and he couldn't see what he meant in his eyes, which was extremely complicated.

For a time, above the court, the people were panicked, and all the ministers were terrified. The extreme quiet, the silence is terrible, the fall of a needle, in their ears at this moment, I am afraid it is like thunder!

After a long while, Emperor Tianqing spoke: "As for the rest of the people, I won't pursue them for the time being, but I hope you all will be more restrained." Don't trouble me in this eventful time. ”

As soon as the words fell, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was in the past. The ministers all knelt down in unison and said, "The ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths." ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at the ministers kneeling in the entire court and said, "Okay!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the ministers got up, Emperor Tianqing continued: "I summoned you Aiqing today, in addition to this matter, there is another thing, there is a battle report from the border pass, the Great Xia Thousand Peak Realm powerhouses raided Mingxuan City, and the result is that the whole army was wiped out. ”

As soon as these words fell, the ministers all said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Emperor Tianqing continued: "It's barely a good start. However, Yang Demon Dao is really not easy to deal with, I, I believe that some of you present have heard of this name, and some have not.

No matter what this person is! I urgently summon all of you Aiqing, in addition to the affairs of those four people, there are also things for you Aiqing to do, and send all the information you know about Yang Demon Dao to the border pass.

I know, you have a way, in fact, what each of you is like is clear in my eyes. What you think is a disguise is secret, that's just what you think. ”

As soon as Emperor Tianqing's words fell, the ministers above the court, everyone's expressions were different. The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and the complexion is calm. I did something that I couldn't see, and my face was full of fear. Look at the good show, there is a sneer on his face.

For a while, because of a word, in the court, the ministers, as if the serious faces of the eternal unchanged, were wonderful for a while.

"Your Ministers obey!" Even so, the ministers still said in unison.

Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "Okay, then there is nothing to do." Remember my words, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers. ”

The ministers said in unison: "The ministers dare not forget if they die!"

The words fell, and under the gesture of Emperor Tianqing, the ministers began to be cautious and withdrew from the Taiji Hall one after another.

Many ministers are eager to run at this moment, but they still have to take care of etiquette.

Only Liu Disillusionment stayed in the Taiji Palace, of course, this is also a sign of the emperor's heavenly feelings. Today's Liu Disillusionment is already the Great Qin Taishi, but his prestige is always worse than that of Li Dang back then.

The ministers all retreated, and Emperor Tianqing and Liu Disillusionment moved to the imperial study. Except for the three women, no one knew what the two said.

But this conversation set off a huge wave.

For a full afternoon, Liu Disillusionment did not leave the palace until nightfall, and the lights were slightly lit. Although no one knows what the two of them talked about.

But since this afternoon, Daqin's officialdom has set off turbulent waves. Countless officials died under the butcher's knife of the executioner. Blood flowed almost everywhere in Great Qin.

No matter how big or small the official position is, no matter whether it is powerful or not, as long as you violate the Qin law, you will not be able to escape the execution!

And this incident is also remembered by future generations. In such a huge external situation as Great Qin, Emperor Great Qin and Taishi Liu were disillusioned and could still make such a big move, and the courage in it is worth learning from countless young generations. It was also this action that almost laid the foundation for the complete stability of the Great Qin Dynasty.
