Chapter 35: To Kill or Not to Kill?

Almost all the officials in the DPRK and China were wiped out by Li Mao.

At this time, Li Longji only had thirty or forty officials in his hands.

These people ran fast so that they were not caught by Zhao Gao.

Li Longji was anxious to rebuild the central court, so it was natural that he would promote the only officials he had.

Pei Kuan saw that the emperor had made up his mind, so he didn't dare to make any more excuses.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As the sun set, several people walked down the city tower.

I didn't know that the army outside the city had already fallen asleep, waiting for the third watch in the middle of the night.

Li Mao returned to the palace.

Li Linfu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back!"

He looked anxious, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Li Mao rode on a horse.

The dragon robe on his body danced lightly in the wind.

At present, the most important thing is the military, which has already been inspected, and there have been no accidents.

Therefore, seeing Li Linfu so anxious, Li Mao felt quite strange in her heart.

"Li Xiang, what are you anxious to find? Why don't you send someone to find it? ”

Li Linfu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, five of the officials arrested yesterday have committed suicide!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Mao looked stunned.

I didn't expect that there would be an official who would commit suicide?

Do you have to give Li Longji a funeral?

Or is Li Linfu forcing them to commit suicide?

Thinking of this, Li Mao's gaze became cold.

Li Linfu suddenly felt a chill and hurriedly explained: "The minister has been persuading these officials to surrender today. Most of them have changed their minds and expressed sincere repentance. ”

"But there are still a few people who don't do it with good imperial relatives and relatives, and they have to bury the fake emperor."

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't work hard, but those people are too stubborn!"

After Li Linfu finished speaking, he knelt directly on the ground to show his guilt.

"I know!"

Li Mao nodded.

These people let their father-in-law not do it, they have to beg for death, then fulfill them!

"Li Xiang, I will give them another chance for one night, and if they haven't figured it out tomorrow morning, then drag them out and cut off their heads."

After Zhao Gao heard this, he stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what about their families?" Do you want to kill them together? ”

Li Mao understood that the family members he was talking about were the ones who slept last night.

I wanted to kill him directly.

But when I thought of those innocent or charming faces, pity suddenly rose in my heart.

What a shame to kill!

But if you don't kill it, what if someone holds a grudge and wants to avenge the killing of their father?

You must know that Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was almost strangled to death by a group of palace maids.

Li Mao thinks that his force is far beyond ordinary people, but it has not yet reached the point of being invulnerable and invincible.

After all, after falling asleep at night, there is little vigilance.

There is also no antidote in this era, and if you are poisoned, you can only rely on your own body to fight it.

Li Linfu looked at the emperor's uncertain face.

I was secretly anxious.

"Your Majesty, you must not be kind to a woman!"

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

He also heard about last night's incident.

Knowing that the emperor fought with more than 20 people for two hours, he finally won the victory.

But now he has tied the whole family to Li Mao.

Naturally, it is impossible to leave the danger alone.

However, looking at the emperor's intentions, he couldn't bear to be a killer.

What should I do?

Li Linfu's brain was running extremely fast.

Suddenly, he saw that Li Mao's dragon robe didn't fit well, so he thought of an idea.

"Your Majesty, the Weaving Bureau is still short of manpower."

Zhao Gao also said at this time: "Your Majesty, it is really difficult for a woman who has lost her family to make a living. The old slave thought that Li Xiang's idea was very good, so that at least he could ensure that those women would not do anything unruly because they were hungry. ”

It's not that Zhao Gao's heart has gotten better, but because he has deeper calculations.

The emperor was married for two years and never had any offspring.

Yesterday after a night of fighting, maybe the seeds that were sown will bear fruit?

When the time comes, the person who can give birth to the prince will definitely be able to rely on the mother and the son.

Zhao Gao first buried the favor, and when it really bore fruit, he could take the opportunity to cling to it and find allies in the harem.

Now.

Li Linfu frowned slightly.

It's just that his head is buried deep and no one is present to find it.

He doesn't have any ability to govern the country, but he can get to the high position of prime minister, relying on his ability to figure out people's hearts.

As soon as Zhao Gao spoke, Li Linfu guessed his plan.

At the same time, Li Mao's hesitant person was also seen in his heart.

knew that the emperor was reluctant to those beauties.

Li Linfu, who was secretly anxious, hurriedly raised his head and glanced at Yang Guozhong on the side.

What Li Mao thought in his mind was not what they thought he was reluctant.

Whether it's a past life or a present life.

They have long been accustomed to life and death.

War is a continuation of politics, and there is no justice in either.

Ordinary people who accidentally get involved in it and die because of it can only consider themselves unlucky.

Li Mao's long-standing creed is not to kill innocents indiscriminately.

These women are innocent, but their fathers are not.

Who told them to put the emperor's father-in-law not to do it, they had to go to Li Longji's funeral!

It is already a great grace to let them work in the weaving bureau.

Li Mao was about to give an order, but he heard Yang Guozhong speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he should kill all those people."

Yang Guozhong looked murderous.

It's as if he has a grudge against those people.

He originally didn't plan to speak, but after seeing Li Linfu's eyes, he thought about it again and again, and still came out to persuade the emperor to kill him.

Alas!

Li Mao shook her head and sighed secretly in her heart.

is a small matter, and the three traitors under his command are actually playing their own little ninety-nine.

It seems that it is really difficult to be a good emperor!

Traitors are setting traps at any time, constantly making the emperor challenge his weakness.

It's like yesterday, it's bad for Zhao Gao's villain.

Li Mao didn't mean that either.

But Zhao Gao actually brought the meat to his mouth, so how could he not eat it?

Li Mao wants to be a Ming monarch, not a saint.

"Forget it! Those officials don't kill either! ”

"Those who truly repent can be reinstated, but those who are stubborn will be locked up in prison."

"When they figure it out, let them out."

"As for the officials who have committed suicide, let their families go!"

Li Mao finally decided not to follow the wishes of these traitors at all.

He wants to be the emperor of the ages.

How can you be at the mercy of traitors in everything?

"Obey the order!"

"The old slave obeys!"

Li Linfu, Zhao Gao, and Yang Guozhong answered at the same time.

The emperor has already made up his mind.

As traitors, they are naturally very conscious and dare not disobey orders.

Return to the Hall of Eternal Life.

The candle flame flickered again.

There was going to be a night attack tonight, and Li Mao didn't recruit anyone to sleep.

He planned to go to Nancheng in the second half of the night to check the battle situation in person.
