Chapter 47 [Cutting Pupils] The righteousness is awe-inspiring
Previously, there were nearly 100 people on top of this hall, and Minister Ornest's faction gathered together, showing a trend of covering the sky with one hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But at this moment, because of the emperor's few words, such a huge faction has been destroyed! Even the entire court hall was empty, and it looked a little sparse.
And for this method, the courtiers naturally felt frightened, but now that the case has been closed, they are also shocked and relieved at the same time.
At least they don't have to worry anymore about being affected by this case again.
Especially the group of people who knelt down to support the minister just now, they even shivered a little just now, and after Wang Hongkun finished the roll call, they even had a sense of prostration after experiencing a big war.
You must know that although they are only involved in the wall grass that is not deeply involved, they can actually punish the crime just now.
Solidarity with the thieves and rebellion against the king's orders, if this is an unfaithful hat buttoned down, there is really nothing to say, and at that time, their best result is only to go home and farm, and now the emperor can not pursue that is naturally the best.
But to be honest, Wang Hongkun is not very satisfied with this result, according to his standards, at least half of the people in it have to be cleaned.
But there is no way, if there are too many killings, I am afraid that even the administration of the imperial capital will be affected.
Although they are doing a terrible job in their respective positions, they are really not allowed to be touched for the time being.
Don't look at Wang Hongkun who killed one-fifth of the courtiers at once, it seems that he still doesn't have to kill people like killing dogs, but this is because these people haven't had time to resist in tandem!
In fact, since a hundred years ago, the authority of the central authority of the empire has begun to degenerate, and now many regulations have been relaxed.
And this has led to the real power faction in various parts of the country becoming more and more powerful, and in some places it has even reached the point of being difficult to control, and it is precisely because of this that the assassination force of the empire came into being.
It has only been more than 70 years since the establishment of the Empire's assassination force, but it is in these years that it has already assassinated 27 generals who disobeyed the Imperial Taishou and 34 generals who tended to betray.
Even if we put aside these things that can't see the light, it also excludes countless threatening factors that are unfavorable to the empire.
But hearing this famous record, Wang Hongkun only felt ridiculous.
In their own homeland! Kill your own courtiers! Isn't it ridiculous to rely on assassination?
If it is in a peaceful and prosperous world, why should it be assassinated in its own land? Checkmate? A metaphor can be punished, they can't have the slightest dissatisfaction, and even kneel down to thank the emperor!
Being able to lead troops to rebel from the empire represents the degeneration of central authority in itself! The shaking of the rule of the royal family!
And these nobles in the imperial capital are naturally not stupid people, they have more or less smelled the smell of war, and they don't know how they did it, even at the foot of this Son of Heaven, the most strictly controlled place in the empire, they can tacitly raise a large number of guards.
It can be said that if these executed people are given a little time and let them prepare, the alliance of two or three thousand people will not be impossible to pull out, and this is enough to cause a great upheaval in the imperial capital.
Even if it can be pacified, if it spreads too widely and too many civilians die, the consequences will be serious.
Of course, even the current situation should not be taken lightly, and if it is not handled well, there is also a possibility of collapse.
While he was thinking about what to do next, a guard outside the main hall came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Bud has asked to see you." ”
"Please...... No, I'll greet it myself! ”
Hearing this, Wang Hongkun stood up and strode out of the hall.
At the door of the main hall, Wang Hongkun finally met General Bude, who had been known for a long time.
The supreme commander of the Imperial Army, who holds the Emperor's Wrath of the Thunder God [Adhelmele], one of the two strongest men in the Empire, has won the trust of the former Little Emperor and commands the palace guards......
Countless halos are added to it, and he is indeed a person worthy of these glories, at the age of forty or fifty, he still retains the strength of his heyday, and his words and deeds vividly explain the fortitude of the generals, and follow the ancestral precepts that military generals cannot interfere in politics, which is the embodiment of their loyalty to the empire.
Such a person, even if he is his enemy, will unconsciously rise to admiration.
Even Wang Hongkun, although he does not agree with his way of life, he has to admit that as a loyal minister and an imperial general, he can't find any shortcomings and is perfect.
When he came to General Bude's side, before he could react, he bent down first, bowed deeply, and said:
"You are my father's minister, the elder of the two dynasties, I have always respected you, at this time the country is in danger, please help me!"
"It's really a torment, Your Majesty is the king, and I am the minister, it is a matter of course to die for Your Majesty, what do you say, please."
Bud was immediately shocked, and quickly knelt down and spoke.
Wang Hongkun's face was serious, and he bowed again:
"What the general said is that I won't say much."
"The minister has been given death by me, but the foundation of this thief in the imperial capital is still deep, in order to prevent it from jumping over the wall in tandem, I also asked the general to immediately transfer back the "World Guard" guarding the imperial capital. ”
The "World Guard" is taken from the meaning of guarding the empire for generations, and this is indeed the army that has been guarding the imperial capital, which has not changed for thousands of years, and it is undoubtedly loyal to the empire and the emperor.
And the number of this army is 100,000, so many people, of course, will not be stationed in the city in peacetime, but as a shield to defend the imperial capital, stationed in a fortress on the road that must be passed.
The current situation is still very dangerous, and it will not be said that the dust will settle until the 100,000 troops enter the imperial capital.
Of course, General Bud was not unclear about this truth, in fact, after receiving the news of the guard, he had already thought of this idea on the way to the palace, but at this time he seemed to have doubts, and he wanted to stop talking.
"I know that Qing is for my safety."
Speaking of this, Wang Hongkun put on a whole robe, his face was serious, and he said with righteousness:
"But I am the emperor of this empire, and I naturally have the responsibility to protect the people, and I am naturally safe if I stay by my side, but what about the people of this imperial capital?"
"If you hurry to the barracks, it won't even take half a day for the vanguard to march to the imperial capital."
"Who else has the prestige of a great general? If the army starts to coordinate for a few days, it will be too late! The remnants of the thieves jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the imperial capital was afraid that it would be a river of blood. ”
After speaking, Wang Hongkun sighed and said:
"These are my people, and I can't bear it."
