Sui Yuan stood in place in a daze, and the whole person fell into a sluggish state.

Before coming here, no matter what, he didn't expect that His Majesty would ask the guilty prince!

Moreover, as soon as it came up, it was to wipe out the three tribes!

You must know that in order to show the emperor's grace, the entire Daqian has not used this punishment for decades!

Even, since the founding of the country, Wu Xun has never been punished so severely!

After all, the ancestors of several princes had great achievements back then.

It is no exaggeration to say that without them, there would be no great cadres today.

For the imperial court, several princes are like a needle in the sea, and when the princes are there, the court will not be chaotic!

But now, His Majesty is going to ask the Duke of the country.

This. How can this work!

Sui Yuan, who reacted, hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Ask the prince of the country, for fear of shaking the country's foundation and causing turmoil, absolutely not! ”

The rest of the officials also showed a sad look and echoed: "Your Majesty can't! ”

Du Chenan and the others also felt in their hearts that it was inappropriate to use such a big punishment on the martial artists.

After all, this generation of Guogong and Wuxun did not make much contribution to the imperial court.

But each of their ancestors has made great contributions to the imperial court.

The annihilation of the three tribes inevitably has some meaning of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

If Your Majesty really does this, from now on, I am afraid that there will never be any martial arts loyal to Your Majesty.

Your Majesty will also leave an eternal infamy in the history books for killing heroes.

They thought so in their hearts, but there was not the slightest expression on their faces, let alone standing up to speak for the martial artists.

Today, His Majesty and Fang Dang are grasshoppers on a rope.

Even if they don't support His Majesty's request to behead the Duke of the Kingdom, they will not oppose it on the surface, but give His Majesty more choices.

If His Majesty made up his mind to ask the Duke of the Kingdom, they would be helpless.

Anyway, the infamy is carried by His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with them.

Dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, got up slowly, and his cold and noble temperament made many people bow their heads in shame.

"According to the law of the Great Qian, the rebellion against the Nine Clans and the extermination of the Three Clans is already for the sake of their ancestors' meritorious contributions to the Great Qian!"

Wu Mingkong condescendingly looked down at Sui Yuan and the others, with a chill in his tone, and said coldly: "There are a few of you, confusing the army's mind, vainly trying to rebel, according to the law, confiscating all family property, and asking for beheading after the autumn!" ”

Sui Yuan was slightly stunned, and then his eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.

He just asked a few national princes to uphold justice, why did it become a vain attempt to rebel.

"Your Majesty."

Sui Yuan's heart sank to the bottom, and he opened his mouth to defend himself.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the empress on the dragon chair:

"Someone! Sent the criminal Sui Yuan to the prison, and asked to be beheaded after the autumn! ”

The voice fell.

Several shadow guards shrouded in black robes stepped out.

The murderous aura swept through the Heart Cultivation Hall in an instant.

The shadow guards walked up to Sui Yuan in a few steps, held him down, and then dragged him out of the hall.

So far.

Sui Yuan had completely given up resistance.

His eyes were bloodshot, staring at the empress high above, and he roared almost madly: "Tyrant! Wicked Lord! You reuse traitors and frame loyalty! Sooner or later, the great Qianjiang will be buried in your hands one day! ”

"And you dogs who are embarrassed and rudder the wind! Do you think that if you follow Fang Xiu, you will be able to enjoy prosperity and wealth for a lifetime? ”

"Phew! Dream on! The Dog Emperor and the Dog Prime Minister will attack us, and sooner or later, they will also attack you! ”

"Today's princes, tomorrow's princes!"

The hoarse voice echoed in the Heart Cultivation Temple.

The officials of the Fang Party all looked disdainful.

The officials of the African Party are all sincerely afraid.

What happened today was completely beyond their expectations.

Before that, even if they were told in advance what would happen today, they would never believe it.

Asking the guilty Guogong and beheading Sui Yuan, in their opinion, this is impossible at all.

But now it's happening.

They don't understand.

Even if the princes want to support their own troops, coerce His Majesty, give up Fang Xiang, and negotiate peace with Yan State.

Your Majesty doesn't have to do that, does he?

In the entire Great Qian, there were only seven princes in total, and four of them were cut at once.

This matter has spread, how do the countries look at Daqian, and how do the people look at Your Majesty.

You don't have to think about it to know.

After today, Your Majesty will surely be branded as a tyrant!

The little empress obviously knew the consequences of today's actions.

But from beginning to end, she was very indifferent.

As if what they were doing was just a trivial matter.

At this moment.

The huge Heart Nourishing Hall was silent.

The civil and military officials all lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Wu Mingkong looked around, remembered everyone's reactions, and said lightly: "Do you have a script?" ”

The voice fell.

Tianguan Du Chen'an raised his eyes to look at the empress, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Wu Mingkong's good-looking eyes looked at him, and he said lightly: "Duke Du has something to say?" ”

Moment.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Du Chen'an.

Du Chen'an was slightly stunned, silent for a few breaths, but still arched his hand and saluted: "The minister has no script." ”

"Since no one is playing, let's retreat."

Wu Mingkong said lightly.

The voice fell.

The shrill voice of the palace maid sounded in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Retreat!"

Wu Mingkong turned to leave.

The civil and military officials left the Heart Cultivation Hall in turn in order.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty today, why did you wipe out the three clans of the four princes if you didn't agree with each other, and there are so many marquis and earls, who account for almost half of the martial arts."

Qian Haonan walked between Du Chenan and Qin Xingyan, his eyes full of doubt.

When Du Chenan heard this, he stopped, looked at the Heart Nourishing Hall behind him, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty is worrying about Fang Xiang"

As soon as this remark came out.

Qian Haonan's brows furrowed slightly: "You mean, the decision to ask the guilty prince is Fang Xiang?" ”

Qin Xingyan on the side glanced at him and said coldly: "What Fang Xiang has done in the past six months, isn't it obvious enough?" ”

Qian Haonan was slightly stunned, his expression was even more confused, but he didn't ask.

Seeing this, Qin Xingyan said leisurely: "First create a new army, take back part of the military power from the hands of Wu Xun, and then take the opportunity of several princes to make trouble, most of the Wu Xun in the capital will be imprisoned, and then the new Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will completely strip the military power from Wu Xun's hands. What do you think Fang Xiang is doing this for? ”

“.”

When Qian Haonan heard this, he finally realized the crux of the problem and fell silent.

Qin Xingyan continued: "The first emperor set many rules back then to disperse the military power of Wuxun, but he never thought of completely taking back Wuxun's military power, not because the first emperor didn't want to do this, but because the first emperor knew that he couldn't do it

Now, Fang Xiang is on a campaign, and a few princes can have an impact on some soldiers just by virtue of their prestige in the army for many years, and Your Majesty cannot tolerate this!

It is precisely because of this that His Majesty has made up his mind to share the worries of the party and completely disintegrate the influence of the martial artists on the army.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, His Majesty's actions will not cause much turmoil, and it will only be infamous for tyranny in the future."

Qin Xingyan said this, and stopped abruptly.

Qian Haonan is the secretary of the military department, and his understanding of this aspect is more profound than his, and it is useless to say more.

That's it.

Several core members of the Fang Party glanced at each other, and they could all see a hint of sigh in each other's eyes.

Thinking back to a year ago, His Majesty and Fang Xiang were still like fire and water, but now they are the same body.

For the sake of His Majesty's country, Fang Xiang worked hard and did not hesitate to risk his life to personally lead the troops to the battle.

And for the sake of Fang Xiang's safety and ideals, His Majesty willingly did what she shouldn't have done, even if she knew that she would be infamy.

In the face of such a situation, they can only sigh that the world is impermanent.

Following.

I'm living here.

The sky was just dawning.

A group of gourmets sat in the lobby, ordered some side dishes, ordered a pot of wine, and chatted.

Meanwhile.

A storyteller walked up to the stage, cleared his throat, and began to read the newspaper.

"The headline on the front page of the latest issue is "The Edict of the Guilty Minister"!"

As soon as this remark came out.

The attention of diners is instantly captivated.

Generally speaking, in the middle of the edict is to ask the name of the person to be beheaded.

Although such decrees are rare, they are occasionally seen.

But.

There is no name written in the middle, and it is directly the word criminal, which is the first time they have heard of it.

"Punish the guilty ministers? I don't know which criminal it is. ”

"It is estimated that more than one person committed a capital crime, so the word criminal minister is used as a general term."

As the diners were talking, they heard the storyteller begin to read the edict from the newspaper.

"Dingguo Gong, Wei Guogong, Chen Guogong, An Guogong, Ding'an Hou, Xin'an Hou, Dingbo Hou, Beihe Hou dare to go against the sky, do not know the grace of reluctance, and rampant schemes"

A flurry of titles and names rang out.

The entire Habitat fell into a deathly silence.

All the diners stared at the storyteller with wide eyes and incredulous expressions.

In any case, they couldn't believe that overnight, there would be so many princes, lords, and uncles, asking His Majesty to behead.

But.

The storyteller on the stage in front of me is the authoritative Daqian monthly magazine!

If nothing else, the content published in Daqian Monthly will never be fake!

"Obediently, what crime did these princes commit, so that His Majesty was so angry that he cut them all down!"

"I haven't heard what people say, bullying the people, forming parties for personal gain, fish and meat in the township, and there is an intention to rebel."

"Be quiet! The charges haven't been read yet! ”

Whispering voices rang out inside the Yiren Residence.

Everyone listened to the storyteller's series of accusations, and their expressions were a little dazed.

Even if they live in Chang'an, Guogong is also a high-ranking and untouchable figure for them.

However, overnight, all of these big names were beheaded by His Majesty, and a considerable number of them were wiped out by the three clans.

This made them a little unacceptable for a while.

It wasn't until the storyteller read the edict a second time that they dared to believe that what their ears heard was true!

"A few princes, we can't touch them, but the servants in their mansions, I often meet, are even more hateful than bullies! After today, look how arrogant they are! ”

"We can't figure it out, these princes, lords, uncles, just the money issued to them by the imperial court can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, why do they rebel!"

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, life has been getting better and better day by day, and these dogs are even more rebellious! It's disgusting! ”

"They just can't see the people! The people are comfortable, but they are uncomfortable! ”

The diners were so excited that they didn't even bother to drink.

In fact.

For them, there is no difference between asking and beheading a criminal who is extremely vicious, it is nothing more than watching a lively scene.

After all.

The memories left by this generation of martial artists to the people are all defeats.

In the past 10 years, under the leadership of several state princes, the cadres and troops have hardly won a single battle.

Even the weakest opponent of Wu Guo did not take advantage of anything.

There is no difference between such a national prince and not.

The vast majority of diners in Irene Curie have the same idea.

But.

There are also a small number of people who are either frowning or looking sad and angry.

Someone said loudly: "These princes, the princes, once left blood and sweat for the imperial court, no merit, and hard work, but now I don't know what big crime they have committed, and they want to harm their families!" ”

"Annihilation of the three clans, what a great punishment this is, even the dim-witted emperor has never used this criminal law!"

"Simply yes"

Speaking of this, the man lowered his voice and slowly spat out two words: "tyrannical." ”

These words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Someone looked at him and said angrily: "What kind of are you talking about!" I didn't hear what people said! Those princes of the country have committed the great crime of rebellion! According to the law, rebellion will punish the nine clans! The three clans of Yi are already Your Majesty's grace! ”

"It is an ordinary person who plots to rebel against the Nine Clans, but this time it is the Duke of the Kingdom! Their ancestors have made great contributions to the imperial court! What's more, it doesn't hurt your family! ”

"What about Guogong? The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people! You don't understand such a simple truth? ”

"You, you."

The popular face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's unreasonable!" ”

"It's you who can't be reasoned with! It is said that the seven officials in front of the prime minister, those slaves of the Guogong are from the Guogong Mansion, they are extremely arrogant, bullying this and bullying that all day long, not to mention the family of the Guogong! ”

"Since they have enjoyed the shadow of the country, they should bear the corresponding punishment, share the blessings, and the difficulties are different, how can there be such a good thing in the world!"

As soon as these words came out, they caused a round of applause in Yirenju.

Right now.

On the street outside the Yiren Residence, there was a noisy sound, and he turned his head to look.

Then he saw a full carriage driving on the road.

All kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures on it were completely exposed to the eyes of the people, and they were dazzled by it.

"This is the home of a few princes, can you copy so many treasures?"

When everyone saw this scene, they all showed curiosity.

At this time, an insider said leisurely: "What Guogong, this is from the Beihe Hou Mansion"

As soon as this remark came out.

Everyone looked shocked, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

So many treasures.

It turned out to be only from the palace of a marquis.

The nobles raised by these bitches are how many gold and silver treasures they have hoarded!
