Qin Chuan was beaten early in the morning, and Liu Zhongping and Wang Wenzhi sent it together.

If you judge from the law, these more than 20 people should all be questioned, including Zhou Dewei, because there are confessions, physical evidence, and human evidence.

It's just that Zhou Dewei can't move for the time being, this is a principle.

Qin Chuan's purpose in doing these things was just to cut off Zhou Dewei's wings, not to kill those ministers.

If these people are willing to submit to him, he can still keep them in office.

But Liu Zhongping felt that these people were determined to follow Zhou Dewei, and it was impossible for them to sincerely join them.

Qin Chuan closed the fold: "Kill them all...... Tsk, the movement is too big, throughout history, what emperor killed all the officials of the central organ of the imperial court as soon as he ascended the throne? ”

"Your Majesty, the plague in the military camp involves a wide range of things, they deserve it, according to the law, it is to exterminate the three tribes, and it is already an extrajudicial grace to kill them. This is by no means that the minister wants to eradicate dissidents, but the minister is thinking about the emperor. ”

"Uncle Guo, do you think so too?"

Wang Wenzhi hesitated: "Your Majesty, the minister...... Listen to the emperor. ”

It's hard for him, these people are all henchmen of his mentor, let him make decisions, he is not a human inside and out.

"Okay, these people on the fold, bring Fang Guoan, I want to talk to him alone."

Fang Guoan is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Half an hour later, Fang Guoan, who was wearing prison clothes and shackles, knelt in front of Qin Chuan, his hair was already messy, and there were blood stains on his body.

"Fang Guoan, you are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Shi Mu Huang'en, I can't figure it out, you can be loyal to the emperor's grandfather, you can be loyal to the first emperor, why can't you continue this loyalty, and insist on making a late festival. Your ancestor also became an official, and my Qin family is not thin on your Fang family, right? ”

Fang Guoan sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, you don't need to say any more, the minister is willing to die and not to survive." ”

"Bastard! - You think you're dead and you're gone?! Are you an official of the Qin family or an official of the Zhou family? Do you insist on giving Zhou Dewei a funeral? ! Thou hast died, and thy family hast sinned, and thy sin thou hast committed shall be destroyed. ”

"Minister, minister...... The minister's family is innocent. ”

Old fellow, pretending not to understand the law again.

Qin Chuan squatted and looked at his old face: "Do you look down on me?" ”

Old man Fang closed his eyes: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old ministers look down on you, but that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty look down on you...... Have you forgotten what you did when you were the prince? ”

The original owner was indeed very shameless, and slept with many women, some of whom were the wives and daughters of official eunuchs.

is like Cao Mengde, who likes other people's wives.

It is not surprising that this kind of prince who corrupts people's morality and morality, others want to oppose him.

When recalling the memories of the original owner, Qin Chuan himself hated the itchy roots, but he was not the original owner at all.

These people only remembered the prince's shamelessness and immorality, and never thought of his goodness, but before Qin Chuan crossed over, the original owner didn't seem to have anything that could make people feel okay, and there was joy everywhere.

"Fang Gong, I'm sorry about what happened before, I can only say that it was...... That's young and stubborn. ”

"Your Majesty, the crown year is not young."

The crown year is twenty years old.

That's it, the wrong things that the original owner has done, no matter how Qin Chuan explains, it is in vain.

He didn't bother to say this: "Fang Guoan, I don't expect you to go to me, and I won't kill you." All the officials of Zhongshu Province were dismissed, sent back to their hometowns, and left the city tomorrow. As for your possessions, they shall be confiscated for the control of the plague. ”

……

At dinner, a table of seafood was watched by Bai Ying, who swallowed his saliva.

The food in the palace is much better than that in the prince's mansion, and you can eat whatever you want, as long as you can eat it.

Qin Chuan ate very little and was worried.

Gao Liuyue: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Isn't the food good? ”

"No, it's something in the court."

"There is only one Liu Zhongping left among the officials of Zhongshu Province, isn't it?"

Everyone knows about it, and they can't hide it.

"Your Majesty, no matter what you say, you have to eat, the concubine has an idea, although it is ridiculous, but it can maintain the operation of the court."

Qin Chuan was interested: "Oh? Ridiculous approach? What's the solution? ”

"There are more than 300 officials imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, most of them are people who oppose Zhou Dewei, and many of them are Qing officials, who were hostile to Zhou Dewei and were imprisoned inside......"

Qin Chuan is a smart person, and he can understand it at all.

The queen meant to release these officials, take them for their own use, and directly let them manage Zhongshu Province.

The officials in it are high-level and talented, but the Criminal Department has issued an approval document to them and pardon them, and they need a reason.

"Liuyue, I have just ascended to the great treasure, and I haven't given amnesty to the world yet, right?"

"Hmm."

In order to grant amnesty to the whole country, all criminals in the country must be pardoned, and about 99 percent of the people will be released, except for the most heinous people.

When the emperor ascended the throne, it was normal for him to do this, but when the first emperor ascended the throne, he did not have this move.

Therefore, if Qin Chuan wants to do it, he will inevitably be criticized.

In any case, most of the prisoners are indeed unforgivable.

"Your Majesty, in the prison of the Criminal Department, there are about 100 officials who are honest and honest and can be taken for their own use, but the people in the court will strongly oppose it."

Those miscellaneous pieces in the court all support Zhou Dewei, which is really difficult.

However, since he is a good official, Qin Chuan must use it, and now that he is the Son of Heaven, if he wants to pardon anyone, do you still need to ask for instructions.

I didn't eat anymore, Qin Chuan immediately called Yao Cheng and went straight to the criminal department!

The prison cells of the Criminal Department are divided into several areas, and those who hold officials and ordinary people, as well as those who hold death rows, are clearly distinguished, and there are more than 3,000 cells in total, which is the result of the continuous expansion of the previous emperors.

The cell boss brought the list of prisoners to Qin Chuan, which recorded in detail the grades and crimes of these officials.

Yao Cheng said that the things in the accounts are all mixed with water, and the crimes are more forged, tortured into tricks, and cannot be trusted.

When he came to a cell door and looked at the white-haired old man who was about to die, Qin Chuan felt a trace of pity.

This prisoner once served as a waiter in the imperial court, it was fifteen years ago, because of the impeachment of Zhou Dewei, he was demoted to a foreign place to become a magistrate, and later he secretly networked Zhou Dewei's crimes, and was dragged to the capital to be executed in the autumn.

The first emperor said that he had meritorious deeds and was exempted from capital crimes, so he was locked up here, which belonged to the indefinite period.

"Lord Gao, the emperor has come to see you."

His name is Gao Qiankun, and he is sixty-three years old.

The word emperor, he hadn't heard it for more than ten years, slowly raised his head, his eyes squinted slightly.

"Emperor, Emperor? Emperor...... Where? ”
