Chapter 25: Massacre

"Everybody's on orders! Arrest all the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and escort them to the execution ground! ”

Under the order of Long Cheng, all the eunuchs with knives under his command rushed into the front of the imperial history platform to arrest all the important people.

Soon, a real cry could be heard from among them, and the officials of the Imperial Observatory were soon escorted out.

"Temple...... Your Highness spares your life! Although the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory is unfavorable, the crime is not to death! ”

Seeing that the respected official who had been pressed out begged for mercy like this, Chen Mu sneered: "Crime is not death? Your Yushitai was already responsible for picketing officials from all over the country, not only did you not fulfill your duties, but you were in a nest with those corrupt officials! ”

Chen Mu took out the report letter and looked at it and smiled slightly.

"You all accept bribes ranging from fifty to one hundred taels, and it is true that according to the law you are not guilty unto death, but...... You are the imperial history, since the imperial history platform has begun to be openly corrupt, what use does this palace want you? ”

"All the officials of the Imperial Historical Tower, but anyone who embezzles more than one or two pieces of silver! Confiscation of family wealth! He was beheaded for public display! ”

With this cold sentence, those imperial historians who thought that the amount of corruption was small and could escape the catastrophe instantly collapsed!

"It's hard to ...... Can the prince be unreasonable? ”

Chen Mu sneered: "Next to the word Li is a king word!" The rules of this palace are the rules! ”

Where is this Imperial Observatory clean now? Chen Mu ordered the officials of the entire department to be killed!

By the time of the execution ground, nearly 100 people were beheaded, and the entire Yushitai was killed in an instant!

This news also reached the ears of every force in the imperial court in an instant in a short time.

Households.

Xu Song, the head of the household, said with a worried face: "Lord Shangshu, this prince ...... Won't you kill all of our households? ”

Li Xun said with a disdainful face: "How dare this prince, the imperial history platform is lacking for a while, and it doesn't affect anything, but my household department is in charge of the finances of the entire Dragon Dynasty, and if the prince dares to kill us, the household department will not be able to operate."

After Liu Cheng's guidance, Li Xun is now very confident that the household department is the most important institution of the imperial court, and Chen Mu dares to move them, and the consequence is that no one will be able to take over the household department for a long time in the future.

After all, the household department is not like the Imperial History Observatory of Menxia Province, this department needs experience.

Thinking of this, Li Xun couldn't help but show a look of ridicule, the entire household is corrupt, how dare you be, Your Royal Highness the Prince?

Execution.

This is the first time Mo Xun has seen so many Beijing officials killed, and when he looks at the young prince in front of him, he can't help but feel chills in his heart.

A person from the Imperial Observatory was killed in one go, and his style of acting was really crazy.

Chen Mu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you think this palace is too murderous?"

Mo Xun hurriedly shook his head, but Chen Mu waved his hand: "No need to do this, after all, the palace itself feels that the murderous aura is too heavy."

"The minister has read a lot of history books and classics before, forgive the minister for talking too much, His Highness is so killing, the courtiers in the court, I'm afraid they don't want to serve His Highness."

Mo Xun's face was worried, but Chen Mu chuckled.

"The fundamental reason is that no one works for this palace in the first place."

"This kind of scourge that does not want to serve the court, but only knows how to seek the interests of the people and does nothing, should be killed!"

"This palace has touched political affairs for less than two months, how can he de, how can he play with those courtiers who have controlled the government and the opposition for decades? Once you really play tricks with them, the only end is to be led by the nose. ”

"Since there is a bad card in his hand, why does this palace still rack his brains to play a bad deck well? Flip the table directly, and if you can't play yourself, everyone will stop playing. ”

"This ......"

After Chen Mu finished speaking, Mo Xun suddenly didn't know what to say, he just felt that this prince was too crazy and fearless.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mu said with a smile: "Now it seems that the effect is surprising, Mo Xun!"

"The minister is here!"

"This palace has ordered you to be the new Imperial Historian! From now on, we must be loyal and conscientious! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo Xun, who was kneeling on the ground and preparing to listen to the order, was directly stunned!

"What...... What? ”

He only felt that he had heard it wrong, what kind of official position was in the imperial history? Although the power is not as good as the six ministries, it can directly check and balance the six ministries, and even the official position of the prime minister!

"Grant the post of Imperial History Zhongcheng and take the Imperial Historical Observatory, don't you want to?"

At this moment, Mo Xun's eyes were red, and he almost cried directly, he was no more than a county magistrate in one place, a nine-grade official, but in less than two months, he actually stepped directly from the nine-grade to the second-grade official!

Then he hurriedly swore an oath: "The minister will go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and he will not give up!"

Maybe he doesn't have much experience, but Chen Mu firmly believes that he will not be wrong, he can stand up for the common people and treat death as home, it is a pity that such a righteous person does not need to be in Yushitai.

This is the end of the affairs of the Imperial Historical Tower, and the next thing is the main event.

"Dragon City, bring all the officials of the household department here to the main palace."

"Yes!"

After waiting for half an hour, the officials of the household department were pressed one by one.

Xu Song, the head of the household department, glanced at Chen Mu in the distance, and then saw the heads of the bunch of officials from the Imperial Historical Observatory, and looked at Li Xun with some panic: "Lord Shangshu, this prince ...... Does he really dare not touch us? ”

Li Xun glanced at Xu Song lightly, and sneered: "It's just to arrest us and come here to deter, if he dares to kill all the hundreds of officials in our household department, I am afraid that this court will be directly chaotic, this is not something that a prince can afford!"

After listening to Li Xun's words, Xu Song calmed down a little, after all, it is the household department, even if he makes a mistake, the prince can only turn a blind eye, right?

Soon, everyone came to Chen Mu's face.

"Wait for the ministers to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Chen Mu slowly looked at Hubu Shangshu and said with a smile: "Li Shangshu, this palace has obtained evidence of guilt, you took advantage of this famine incident to cooperate with various departments to embezzle 100,000 taels of disaster relief funds, but there is such a thing."

Li Xun paused, he had already prepared for this question and answer, and then said lightly: "Your Highness, every time a disaster relief fund is issued, the officials at all levels will have to scrape a layer of oil, and forgive the ministers for being disrespectful, this is an unwritten rule."

"This has been the case in all dynasties, and there is no one in my household who has not touched this disaster relief money, so why should Your Highness bother us?"

Li Xun's words were completely provoking Chen Mu, first giving legitimacy to disobeying the law, and then pushing out the entire household, which means nothing more than that in the face of the entire household, your prince should bow his head!

Catching a glimpse of the indifference and disdain on the faces of hundreds of officials, Chen Mu was also angry and smiled slightly.

"Scraping oil? One million taels of your officials directly hung up 900,000 taels, you are scraping your bones, this palace is the first time to see it, the officials will be so fair and honest about corruption, this court is really dirty! ”

Suddenly noticing Chen Mu's complexion, Li Xun said coldly: "Your Highness, you still have to focus on the overall situation after all."

Everyone looked at Chen Mu's gloomy face, and they all felt that the prince would give in today, as the prince of the prison country, there is always a need to weigh the pros and cons, this is a game of thrones, who can violate the rules?

But soon, Chen Mu's words instantly made everyone's determination disappear!

I saw him sneer and wave his hand towards Long Cheng: "Today is really good, thank you Li Shangshu for giving you all the confessions, Long Cheng pressed them all up!"

"This palace wants to see what can happen to the Dragon Dynasty if I kill you today!"
