In the Taiji Hall of the Great Qin Dynasty......

Wei Yan and Lie Rufeng supported Li Dang into the Taiji Palace.

The three of them were just about to salute when they were stopped by Emperor Tianqing. Emperor Tianqing looked at Li Kang, who was covered in scars and his clothes were stained red with blood, and his eyes turned red. Emperor Tianqing choked up a little and said, "Second brother, I made you suffer." Big brother I'm sorry for you. ”

"Big brother, what are these words, don't say that this is a slight injury, even if you lose your life, what then?" Li Dang's voice was weak, but he said firmly.

"The second brother will go back to cultivate well, the eldest brother will definitely find the magic power pill, and the abolished cultivation will definitely come back. After breaking and standing, the eldest brother believes that it will be stronger than before. Emperor Tianqing said.

Li Dang replied: "Your Majesty's most important thing now is to purge the court. His Majesty really planned to slaughter all the time. ”

Emperor Tianqing was silent for a while and said: "I have thought about it, all those who have unforgivable sins will definitely die, and as for those who are threatened by others, those who are not serious in this matter will be demoted by one level." ”

Li Dang nodded and said with a sigh of relief: "That's good, this is also the best result." However, sooner or later, these people will have to be replaced. Their hearts have changed, and after ten years of hardship, the books of the sages they read are no longer there.

Now all that is rooted in their hearts is selfishness, greed, lust, power, money, and beauty. These are the real problems.

cough cough~~~ There is no trace of righteousness in their bodies that is obtained from reading the books of sages. There is something disgusting and even chilling down the spine all over the body. ”

"I understand, but these are the weaknesses of human nature, and these things are very difficult to change. Emperor Tianqing said.

Li Dang continued: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that yin and yang coexist in this heaven and earth, there is yin and yang. If there is a demon as a disaster, there will naturally be people on the right path to keep the right and ward off evil. ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "I understand, I gave them this opportunity." As for whether they can grasp it, it is up to them.

Second brother, your first priority now is to cultivate your body well. Don't worry about the affairs of the court. When will it be raised, and when will it come back. ”

Li Dang said: "Your Majesty Xie." ”

"Xiao Liezi, send Master Li back to the house. By the way, inform all the ministers that tomorrow morning will be normal. Emperor Tianqing said.

"Yes. "The minister retired. "Lie Rufeng and Li Dare went out of the Taiji Palace.

But in an hour, all the ministers in the court knew that the emperor had returned.

Those ministers who participated in Concubine Hua's coup were all terrified. Cold sweat broke out on the back. I'm afraid, the knife holder is on the neck, and I know I'm scared when my life hangs by a thread.

But also, ants are still greedy, let alone human?

...... the morning of the second day

Hundreds of officials went to court, and the emperor who sat on the dragon chair did not say a word. Half an hour had passed, and Emperor Tianqing still didn't say a word.

Emperor Tianqing looked at the ministers like this, and everyone in the ministers drooped their heads, not daring to raise their heads.

About half an hour later, Emperor Tianqing spoke: "Everyone, Aiqing is tired!"

"The ministers are not tired. The ministers said in unison.

"Oh, not tired, fine, let's all stand. Today, let go of all the official business in your hands. Just standing here. I'm a little hungry, come here, pass the meal. Emperor Tianqing said.

Soon plates of delicate dishes were served. Emperor Tianqing began to taste slowly. The ministers below are all swallowing saliva.

The time of the early dynasty was relatively early, and the ministers got up in a hurry, so how could they have time to eat breakfast. Generally, the early dynasty is over in half an hour. Who knew that Emperor Tianqing had rectified this one today.

The fragrance coming from the emperor's delicacies became heavier and heavier, and the stomachs of many ministers began to growl. After another hour, some of the old and well-established ministers fainted on the top of the main hall.

Seeing this, Emperor Tianqing said: "It seems that these Aiqing are all busy with official business, and they didn't sleep well last night. Don't bother them. Let them sleep well. ”

Is that sleeping? It's obviously fainting, well! The emperor can open his eyes and talk nonsense!

After another half hour, the faces of the ministers began to sweat. Emperor Tianqing saw that it was almost over, and said: "I, I have only been in the court for a long time, and my country has changed hands. It's all thanks to you. ”

The ministers knelt on the ground and said, "The ministers deserve death." ”

"Sin deserves death! Like you, death is not enough. Zhang Tianshun, Wan Yan, Li Longtian, and Dai Renjie, these four people were sentenced to a decisive decision! All the rest shall be demoted by one level and fined for one year. Emperor Tianqing said.

The four of them were pulled out by the purple guard. The four of them had nothing to say. Silently, he let the purple guard pull out.

"Thank you, Lord Long. The ministers said.

"Thanks, you still know thanks. Qingli rebellion, Concubine Hua's coup d'état, I can see it, there is no family and country in your hearts. There is nothing else in your heart but your own self-interest.

Ten years of hardship has not enriched your heart. On the contrary, it is officialdom that makes your hearts barren.

Each of you, what you have done, you know, God knows, the earth knows, and I know. Emperor Tianqing said.

Hearing Emperor Tianqing's words, many ministers were trembling. The ministers knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.

Emperor Tianqing continued: "I have given you a lot of opportunities. I hope you will cherish it. In my eyes, power, money, and glory are just passing clouds.

Perhaps, you think what I said is too light. The world does not need the weak. Everything is the definition of the powerful. Without power, without money, what a sorrow to live. I do not deny that these are facts.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to live as a human being. What is wrong is that we should not trample on and trample on the lives and dignity of the weak! There is no weakness, and there is no strength. Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, don't you understand?

I don't know if you've thought about it? You hold the power in your hands, think you're dominant, and do all kinds of evil. Have you ever thought that you too will fall one day? The enemy you have set up. When the time comes, your wife, son?

Have you ever thought about it?"

After the emperor said Tianqing, the ministers also fell into contemplation, and the trees fell and scattered, they all understood this truth, people are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold. Those of them who walk in officialdom know this all too well.

They do all have different powers in their hands, and each of these officials standing in the Taiji Hall today is not small. However, the emperor's sharp sword still hung over their heads. In a word, they have been operating for more than ten years. It's gone in an instant.

Of course, although the emperor is the most powerful person in the world. But these are still the rights given by ordinary people. On the emperor's head, the sharp sword hanging is the millions of people in the world.

Emperor Tianqing continued: "I will tell you a story. ”
