Chapter 14: Coming to the Edict in Person
Huo Lei was in a dilemma, and at the same time, he suddenly found that the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair was really unfathomable, and every word he said was a trap and a trick to deliberately let himself drill in.
"Regarding the internal worries of the court, the old minister doesn't know much, and I really don't know which one the emperor is talking about."
Huo Lei, who was forced by Song Que and really had no tricks, simply pretended to be ignorant.
What a hob meat!
Song Que thought that Huo Lei would not be able to withstand the pressure, so he would either talk about the internal worries of the DPRK and China one by one, or resign and return to his hometown.
But I don't want to.
The old splash played a scoundrel.
I don't know!
Fortunately, Song Que has more than one way to deal with Huo Lei.
"I received the news that there are many farmlands in the people that have been encroached upon, and the people who encroach on the farmland..." Song Que glanced at the civil and military officials in the court who had not been arrested, took a deep breath and said, "It's you who wear official robes and don't do anything!! ”
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down.
"The emperor is angry."
I had just witnessed my colleagues being arrested and sent to prison, and now they were about to be deterred by Song Que's dragon power, and the rest of these civil and military officials were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and their souls were not possessed.
"Anger?"
Song Que was furious: "I just issued an edict yesterday to admit my mistakes, but what about you? Open your mouth to be moral and righteous, and close your mouth to be benevolent and moral, in fact, they are all male thieves and female prostitutes!!! ”
Song Que's words resounded throughout the court, deafening.
The officials below were all deaf and didn't dare to raise their heads and look at Long Yan squarely.
"I know that there are still some of you involved, but I haven't found out yet, but I don't want the you did to end up on the dragon case, so the people who have done it take the initiative to submit the guilt, and I can take it lightly, but let me find out, then let the family wash their necks and wait to be beheaded!"
After Song Que finished speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair and left with his sleeves brushed up.
After Song Que left, the civil and military ministers in the court still didn't dare to get up, for fear that the emperor would suddenly kill him.
Until a long time passed.
Finally, a minister had the courage to stand up and craned his neck to look around.
After confirming that Song Que really left.
The other ministers stood up one after another.
Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their wide sleeves, and their faces showed an expression of the rest of their lives.
Today, Song Que is making a big show in the court, and it also makes many ministers understand that the little emperor in their eyes is not as simple as being brutal, and he is also a good hand when he removes people.
The same.
Huo Lei suffered a loss at the hands of Song Que, and he also realized all kinds of signs of the little emperor.
Deliberately weakening his power.
For this.
Downwards.
Huo Lei called Wang Yu and Li Qi to Huo Mansion.
The three of them closed the door and carefully discussed Song Que's various behaviors in the past few days.
"The old man only understood today, the little emperor is not simple at all, two, the emperor embarrassed me today, because I made a big move, and the emperor will definitely embarrass you in the future, you have to make plans early!!"
Huo Lei looked at Wang Yu and Li Qi, and there was a hint of wanting to rebel in his words.
Who are Wang Yu and Li Qi?
How could it be impossible not to hear the off-strings in Horay's words?
Wang Yu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "At the beginning, we unanimously decided to raise Song Que to the throne, just thinking that everyone could benefit, but now it seems that it is a problem to raise tigers!" ”
Hearing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Qi's eyes: "This wolf cub is already a bit of a climate, let's not take any action, and when he grows full, we will be all finished!" Why don't you find an opportunity to depose him and set up a new emperor? ”
"Another emperor?"
Wang Yu sneered: "Who to set up?" The little emperor's brothers, they have all let us doom! ”
"Who said that the emperor had to have the surname Song?"
At this time, a grim smile appeared on Horay's wrinkled face.
He uttered something startling, causing the other two to widen their eyes in fright.
Horay meant that he did not intend to have a new emperor.
But.... Conspiracy!
"Brother Huo, you can't talk nonsense!" Wang Yu only wanted to guard his one-third of an acre of power, and he dared to depose the emperor, but the cavalry rebelled, and he didn't dare to do it with ten thousand dares.
After all, depose the emperor.
In the later annals, at most he was evaluated as an ambitious minister.
But if it is a rebellion.
That's a thief.
You can't turn over in your life.
"Brother Wang is right." Li Qi and Wang Yu had the same idea, that is, to depose the emperor and set up a new emperor.
As for rebellion, there is such a thing as changing the dynasty.
The risk is too great.
If there is a slight mistake, it will be a situation from which there will be no return.
"Since the two of you feel that it is dangerous, let's discuss how to depose the little emperor and set up a new emperor." Seeing that the two were unwilling, Huo Lei no longer persecuted, he knew how to accept it when he saw it, and he also knew that he could not change the dynasty by himself.
.......
Night.
Edict of Prison.
The prison is dark and damp.
There was a disgusting smell in the air.
During this period, there are also bursts of leather whips waving, accompanied by the sound of terrible howls, making people feel as if they are in an infernal purgatory.
Tonight.
This infernal purgatory.
A noble visitor was welcomed.
He is Song Que.
Song Que came to the Imperial Prison, hugging the front and back, with eunuchs and jailers leading the way in front and guards in the back, and guards in the back.
Soon.
Song Que came to the depths of the Imperial Prison.
Step into a special chamber dedicated to interrogating prisoners
As soon as he sat down, Di Jie, who was beside him, bowed down and clenched his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, which one do you want to interrogate first?" ”
"Let's start with the biggest official rank."
Song Que flicked the dust on his clothes and replied nonchalantly.
Di Jie answered yes, then took out a list, glanced at the people on the list, and instructed your jailer next to him:
"Hurry up and bring Zhang He, the scholar of the Wenge!"
The two jailers nodded and obeyed Di Jie's instructions and went to the cell where Zhang He was being held.
Moments later, two jailers escorted a man in a prison uniform with a disheveled cape into the execution cell.
The man kept struggling, and shouted in his mouth: "I am a scholar of the Chaowen Pavilion, and I am a third-grade official, you must not punish me, otherwise, wait for me to go out, and I will have your good fruit to eat!! ”
"Zhang He !!"
Di Jie shouted and interrupted Zhang He, who was shouting indiscriminately.
Zhang He saw that it was Di Jie, and his eyes were full of resentment: "It turned out to be you!! Why did you imprison me here? Also, who are you who dare to imprison a member of the court? ”
"I am the emperor's personal seal, and I am investigating the sludge of corrupt officials like you!" Dick replied with a choked voice.
Hearing this, Zhang He's face showed disdain: "A mere third-grade official actually wants to manage me as a third-grade official, you are so bold, besides, you say I am corrupt, what am I corrupt?" ”
Di Jie raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Encroaching on the people's farmland, do you still want to deny it?" ”
