Two more ministers knelt down and crawled out of the column to ask Emperor Wu of Zhou for their guilt. They are the Xun family and the Yuan family.

Seeing this, the ministers exclaimed in their hearts: The Xun family and the Yuan family are also involved in the affairs of Yangzhou?!

For the three people who came out of the ranks, Emperor Wu of Zhou was not surprised at all.

The ministers looked at Zhenguo Gong and Xuanping Hou, and guessed in their hearts: The Xie family and the Yu family won't also participate, right?

Zhen Guogong knelt on the ground as usual, not showing the slightest weakness and panic. And Xuanping Hou was a little uneasy, when the people from Yangzhou came to him to cooperate, he almost agreed. Fortunately, he was smart and entered the palace to ask Concubine Rong's opinion.

Concubine Rong told Xuanping Hou at the time that she must not be mixed with the family in Yangzhou. No matter how much money Yangzhou gives, you must not agree to cooperate with them.

Xuan Pinghou felt a little pity at the time, after all, the money given by Yangzhou was too much. Now he is very glad that after listening to Concubine Rong's words, he did not agree to cooperate with the family in Yangzhou, otherwise their jade family would be finished.

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked the three people who were guilty to tell them what they had done.

These three people didn't dare to be clever in front of Emperor Wu of Zhou and hide some things. They were pale, trembling, and told them about their cooperation with the family in Yangzhou.

When the family in Yangzhou came to ask for cooperation. The Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family kept an eye on it, and there were no people from the faction to cooperate with them, and people from the faction to cooperate with them. These three people are the Wang family and the Xun family, as well as the collateral of the Yuan family. Their official positions in the court are not high, and they are all five grades.

The reason why the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family did not refuse to cooperate with the family in Yangzhou was that the money given by Yangzhou was too much, so they could not refuse.

There are not many things that the three of them cooperate with the Wang family in Yangzhou, but the things that cooperate are very important, such as Cao Yun, ore, salt, grain, medicinal materials, etc.

By the way, they also married the family in Yangzhou.

After the ministers heard the words of the three of them from the Wang family, they all gasped in shock.

Don't they want to live anymore?!

After the three finished speaking, they kept kowtowing and begging Emperor Wu of Zhou for forgiveness.

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui, Sun Kui understood, and called out to the guards at the door.

A couple of guards walked in and dragged the three of them out.

When the three men were dragged out, they screamed that they had been convicted and begged the emperor to spare their lives.

At this time, the Marquis of Anyang knelt and crawled out of the column, kowtowed vigorously to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and immediately pleaded guilty to Emperor Wu of Zhou, saying that he was not strict in governance.

Then the Marquis of Wuping and the Marquis of Yingchuan came out to ask Emperor Wu of Zhou for their guilt.

Anyang Hou is the elder brother of Concubine Shu and the head of the Wang family.

Wu Pinghou is the elder brother of Concubine De and the head of the Xun family.

The Marquis of Yingchuan is the elder brother of Concubine Liang and the head of the Yuan family.

The three of them were members of their family, and as the head of the family, they naturally had to ask for guilt.

However, Anyang Hou said that they were not strict in governance. The ministers didn't believe that they didn't know what the three people had just dragged out. If there was no nod from the head of the family, the people on the side would not have the courage to agree to cooperate with the family in Yangzhou.

After listening to the words of the Marquis of Anyang, Emperor Wu of Zhou asked them with a smile: "Do you think I am a fool?" ”

Hearing Emperor Wu Zhou's words, Anyang Hou's hearts tightened, and then fear surged into their hearts from the bottom of their hearts.

"Minister...... No, don't dare ......."

"I think you dare."

The three of them had no blood on their faces at this time, and their eyes were full of horror. The cold sweat on their foreheads and faces fell to the ground one by one. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Emperor Wu of Zhou touched his chin and said, "Is my temper too good lately?" ”

All the ministers who said this sentence were full of horror in their hearts. Their foreheads were pressed to the ground, and they said in trembling voices: "The ministers are guilty, please forgive the emperor!" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou changed his posture, he propped his elbows on his legs, crossed his hands to support his chin, squinted and smiled: "It's a good sentence that the rule is not strict." ”

"The minister is guilty!"

"Alas, I told you before that you don't play tricks in front of me......" Speaking of this, Emperor Wu of Zhou smacked his lips, "Tut-tut, I didn't expect you to teach you a long lesson." In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. With that, he slapped his thigh and stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" An Yanghou said, kowtowing his head again.

Marquis Wuping and Marquis Yingchuan hurriedly followed to say that they were guilty.

The three of them knew in their hearts that if they didn't admit their guilt, the next consequences would not be something they could bear.

Emperor Wu of Zhou stood on the stairs, looked condescendingly at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "That's right. After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and he said to the ministers who were prostrate on the ground with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that I killed all the people in Yangzhou." ”

Kill them all?!!!

When many ministers heard this, they swallowed their saliva in fright.

There are also ministers, whose clothes have long been soaked in cold sweat.

There was a puddle of water in front of them, cold sweat falling from their foreheads and faces.

"There are more than a dozen people on the way back to Beijing, and they should be able to arrive in the capital in two days, and then they will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market." Emperor Wu of Zhou clasped his hands to his chest and said lightly, "Let the people see what happens to these people who have committed crimes." ”

The ministers thought of what they had heard earlier, saying that the head of the family in Yangzhou had been escorted to the capital for execution. I didn't expect it to be true.

The emperor wants to completely clean up Yangzhou this time.

The situation in Yangzhou is not simpler than in the capital, the emperor actually served Yangzhou in a pot, I am afraid that the emperor has been planning for a long time in order to clean Yangzhou.

and Dong Jin's rebels.

The emperor probably knew that Dong Jin cooperated with the family in Yangzhou, and he also knew that the family in Yangzhou had been sheltering Dong Jin.

Wait, was the rebellion in Yangzhou before...... The emperor deliberately made it?

The emperor sent the youngest son of Zhenguo Gong to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion, but he did not succeed for a long time, could it be that the emperor did it on purpose?

Did the Duke of Zhenguo already know that the emperor was going to deal with the family in Yangzhou?

The family in Yangzhou cooperated with the gate valve family in the capital, and it was impossible not to find the Xie family.

The Xie family did not participate in this matter, indicating that the Xie family refused to cooperate with the family in Yangzhou. Zhen Guogong must have known that the emperor wanted to eradicate the gate valve family in Yangzhou, so he refused to cooperate.

It is impossible for the emperor to tell Zhenguo Gong that he wants to eradicate the plan of the family in Yangzhou.

The old fox Zhenguo Gong was afraid that he had guessed something through the emperor sending his youngest son to Yangzhou to quell the chaos.

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!

The emperor's plan to eradicate the family in Yangzhou, they didn't hear any news, the emperor is really calculating!

Sure enough, the emperor is still as terrible as ever!

The ministers didn't know how to get out of the Chengguang Palace.

The concubine in Fuyang Palace learned that her brother was fined 100 boards by the emperor, and was also fined by the emperor for three years and grounded for three months, and she was both happy and afraid.

Fortunately, the emperor's subordinates showed mercy and did not deprive his brother of his title, but his brother's Zhongshu order was gone.

What I was afraid of was that the emperor even knew about the secret cooperation between the Wang family and the family in Yangzhou, but fortunately, she advised her brother not to come forward directly.

Concubine De's brother and Concubine Liang's brother were punished the same as Marquis Anyang. However, the great Shangshu of Wuping Hou is gone. The hussar general of the Marquis of Yingchuan is gone.

In other words, the three of them only have the title of marquis, and there is no important position.

Not only that, but most of the officials arranged by the three of them in the DPRK and China have also been eliminated.

This time, the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family suffered heavy losses. But fortunately, they didn't end up with the family in Yangzhou.

The other families who cooperated with the families in Yangzhou were punished, and none of them were spared. The decapitation of the decapitation, the exile of the deserved, the jail of the deserved.

In the East Palace, the prince and Zhenguo were talking about Yangzhou.

"Uncle, you are still smart, and you refused to cooperate with the family in Yangzhou at the beginning." The prince is not in favor of cooperating with the family in Yangzhou. He thought that his uncle would agree, but he didn't expect his uncle to refuse without hesitation.

"That group of people in Yangzhou is just a rabble." Zhen Guogong looked down on the family in Yangzhou and disdained to cooperate with them, even if they gave a huge price. "They thought they could compete with the emperor and didn't take the emperor seriously, but as a result, they were played by the emperor in the palm of their hands."

The crown prince exclaimed: "Father is really unfathomable. ”

"The emperor's move kills two birds with one stone, not only purging the family in Yangzhou, but also shocking the family in the capital." Zhen Guogong said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, this is a warning to us to be honest. ”

"The family over there in Yangzhou is indeed too rampant, and it is not strange that my father and emperor have laid out to eliminate them."

"Although there is a rabble on the Yangzhou side, it is not easy to get rid of them in one go." Zhen Guogong sighed with emotion, "The emperor's means are really high." ”

"It's a pity that the Yu family didn't participate." The prince's tone was full of regret, "I didn't expect Xuanping Hou to resist the temptation and refused to cooperate with the family in Yangzhou." ”

"Marquis Xuanping is a stupid person, but Concubine Rong is not." Zhen Guogong said coldly, "Concubine Rong has not been favored by her appearance for more than ten years. ”

"Although there is no Yu family, the Wang family, the Xun family, and the Yuan family have been punished, which is also a good thing for us." The three of them are also a threat, and now they have been punished by their father, so they don't have to deal with it.

Referring to the Wang family, Zhen Guogong showed a contemptuous smile on his face: "Wang Yongnian wants the Wang family to take the metabolizer, it's really ridiculous. ”

"Next, the Wang family will be honest for a while." The crown prince said, "Father and Emperor have demoted many people from the Wang, Xun, and Yuan families today, and we have to quickly arrange for our people to fill the vacant positions." ”

Zhen Guogong bowed slightly: "I will arrange this." ”

"The two important positions of Zhongshu Ling and Dashangshu, we must at least grab one." The crown prince said, "We must not let the king's people grab it." ”

Afraid of being blocked, the affairs of the Yangzhou family were not developed to write. Unfold to write, it will definitely be blocked.

Emperor Wu of Zhou: My temper has changed for the better recently, so that you are not afraid of me.

Ministers: We're all scared to death, okay?

Ask for a monthly pass at the end!
