Xu Wen's voice was loud, his face was resolute, and his words were sincere, if someone who didn't know the inside story saw his appearance, he would almost think that this was a Zheng Zheng old minister who was loyal to the monarch and the country.

The square in front of the palace, which was originally noisy, fell into silence again at this time.

Pei Zhong and dozens of other courtiers who supported the emperor glared angrily at Xu Wen, understanding that Xu Wen wanted to blackmail the emperor when the Zhenbei army was going south!

No matter how powerful the emperor is, even if he is a martial saint, he can't fight alone in this troubled world.

One man into an army, a thousand enemies, ten thousand enemies, what if it is a hundred thousand?

Who knows how many hidden masters there are in this world?

The Martial Saint is only a powerful warrior, not a god.

What's more, the battle can be fought by the emperor alone, defending against foreign enemies and governing the country, but it requires a team, a court and a group of courtiers.

Then Xu Wen was right at this point, and wanted to take the opportunity to exempt the Dongzhu Party from responsibility, and even used this to discuss the conditions of the original negotiation with Enhai with the emperor!

A group of courtiers of the Dongzhu Party looked at this scene, but they admired Xu Wen in their hearts.

It is worthy of being the first assistant scholar of the cabinet of the current dynasty and the leader of the Dongzhu Party, Xu Wen and Xu Ge!

Even if the unparalleled power displayed by the emperor was amazing, and even single-handedly subdued the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Shangzhi army who were present, Xu Ge Lao was still able to seize the opportunity of the Zhenbei army to go south and fight against the emperor!

In their opinion, in the face of such a scenario, it was simply impossible for the emperor not to agree to their conditions.

Even many of the interests that originally belonged to the eunuch party, their family, the Dongzhu Party, were able to cut off a large piece.

After all, if the emperor did not agree to Xu Wen's conditions, then the right army governor Han Renlong and Xuanwu Jiedu would make Dong Chao inevitably rebel.

plus the 100,000 wolf soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom, and the 80,000 elite soldiers of He Xingzu's Zhenbei Army.

At that time, Gyeonggi Province, where the entire capital is located, will face a situation of being attacked on its back and back, and it will become a place of four wars.

What's more, now that the emperor has temporarily subdued the eunuchs on the surface, but relying on Pei Zhong and their little people, it is an extremely long-term thing to completely eliminate the eunuch forces in the court and the army.

Once the emperor is embattled, the remnants of the eunuchs will turn around and rebel!

In such a situation, the emperor can't help but agree!

What about personal prowess?

I have never heard of a simple martial artist ruling the world.

If the emperor wants to sit firmly, he cannot do without the assistance of their family bureaucrats and local tycoons.

Otherwise, the decree will not leave the palace, and the so-called throne will be nothing more than a joke.

This is also the reason why their nine surnames and ten clans can stand for thousands of years and go through one dynasty after another without falling!

Pei Zhong on the side had already instantly understood Xu Wen's plan at this time, and immediately reprimanded loudly:

"Xu Wen! How dare you threaten Your Majesty! This is a great crime of deception! Don't you think that if the eunuch party is destroyed, your Dongzhu party will be able to reap the benefits? Shameless! ”

Xu Wen was not annoyed, but looked loyal and courageous, knelt down and said earnestly to Li Yun:

"Your Majesty, the state affairs are critical, only by joining forces and cohesion can we quell the rebellion and stabilize the four seas. Please think twice! ”

Among the ministers, a group of officials belonging to the Dongzhu Party glanced at each other at this time, and came out one after another, clustered behind Xu Wen, and exhorted in unison:

"Please think twice!"

"Cohesion, stability in the four seas!"

"Xu Ge is planning for the country, please think twice!"

"This is all for the safety of my Wu Dynasty!"

“……”

Looking at the Dongzhu Party officials who were kneeling on the ground below and were admonishing, Li Yun smiled indifferently and said:

"Xu Ge always thinks that I don't dare to kill you?"

He said lightly, and his smile was also warm, like a spring breeze, listening to the ears of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, but it was as piercing as ice, and the hearts of the henchmen of the Dongzhu Party sank instantly.

Hiding a knife in a smile, a sharp sword in words.

When the emperor asked this, he had murderous intent!

Xu Wen looked very calm and calm, kowtowed heavily, and said with a solemn face:

"The old minister doesn't dare! The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, which is a matter of course. It's just that at this time when the society is in danger, if the death of the old minister can benefit the country and the people, and can stabilize the country and the society, the old minister is duty-bound! ”

"But...... If the old minister dies, then the Han people will rebel, the Xuanwu Festival envoy will rebel, and the lord of the Bohai Kingdom will also not be able to explain...... The minister is not afraid of death, the minister is afraid of the chaos in the world, and the lives will be ruined, and the society will be turbulent, and the emperor is worried about this! ”

Xu Wen spoke righteously, and he seemed to be a powerful minister with iron bones.

And what he said is also the truth, it can be said that everything is reasonable, without the slightest exaggeration.

Even Pei Zhong and the others, although their faces were full of anger at this time, and they scolded this Xu Wen in their hearts for daring to take advantage of the danger of others and coerce the army to blackmail the Son of Heaven, but they had to admit that what Xu Wen said was the truth.

The reason why the nine surnames and ten clans can last for thousands of years without falling is because they are deeply rooted in the world, like a huge root system, deeply rooted in the entire Wu country.

Even if it is the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to shake!

Li Yun looked at Xu Wen in front of him, as well as the Dongzhu Party officials kneeling there, smiled slightly, and said:

"You ...... Very good, it is really loyal to the monarch and the country, which makes me feel very relieved......"

Hearing this, all the officials and henchmen of the Dongzhu Party couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly admired Xu Wen in their hearts. is worthy of being the leader of the Dongzhu Party, Jiang is still old and spicy, even if the emperor kills Enhai with personal bravery?

Judging from just now, Na Enhai's martial arts are only between him and the emperor. When the eunuch party was in power before, they also conceded three points to Xu Ge Lao, so that they could fight against the eunuch party in the court.

If the emperor wants to maintain the rule of the court, he also has to rely on their family, the Dongzhu Party!

At this moment, I heard the emperor continue:

"If Zhu Qing can stand up on his own, he will save me a lot of effort by making secret visits, and then arresting them one by one......"

As he spoke, in the surprised eyes of the courtiers of the Dongzhu Party, the emperor's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Put all the officials of the Dongzhu Party in prison, dismiss their posts, and behead them one day!"

Hearing this, Ji Yunpeng on the side immediately made a gesture, and dozens of young elite masters rushed out of the martial arts guard, rushed into the ministers, and began to tie up the flowers, preparing to drag them down the hall and take them into the edict prison.

A group of officials of the Dongzhu Party never expected that they would wait for a long time for the emperor's dismissal and beheading!

couldn't help shouting:

"Wronged, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, your loyalty is contrary to your ears, why is the emperor like this!?"

"I'm all for the sake of the country!"

"Elder Xu Ge, Elder Xu Ge, you have a word!"

“……”

Everyone in the Dongzhu Party was crying out for grievances at this time, and they didn't expect that the emperor would directly send them to prison.

You must know that there are hundreds of officials in the entire Dongzhu Party, accounting for at least nearly half of the entire court!

It's just that Xu Wen seemed to expect the emperor to do this, his face was calm, and he let Wu Linwei's people tie him up, and whispered in the ears of several core figures of the Dongzhu Party:

"Survive the dead, retreat as advance."

Several people immediately understood, and they stopped struggling, allowing the guards to bind them.

And those young guards of Wulinwei were originally born in the rivers and lakes, and their personalities were relatively upright, and their methods were even more rude.

Seeing that there were still many people screaming, they directly clicked on the spot, or reached out to dislocate the jaws of those people, and the square immediately fell silent.

Just when a group of courtiers of the Dongzhu Party were about to be dragged down, they heard the emperor continue:

"Pei Zhong, from now on, will serve as the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet."

"Yuan Chengtao, the secretary of the ministry."

"Zhou Yunshan, the secretary of the Criminal Department."

"Guo Huai'an, the secretary of the Ministry of War."

"Zhao Qiyuan, Ren is the secretary of the household department."

"Wang Chengli, Ren is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

"Li Huaishan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

There was an irresistible majesty in the emperor's voice, and one by one, the heads of the cabinet and the six ministries had been changed in the blink of an eye.

These who were selected as the Shangshu of each ministry were all courtiers who supported the emperor with Pei Zhong!

Some of these courtiers are Qingliu, some are lonely ministers, and some of them belonged to the Eunuch Party and the Dongzhu Party and even the Hou Party before, but deep down they are the real imperial party.

The generals who guarded the emperor in front of the emperor at a critical juncture and crisis were also their people.

And now, regardless of life and death, the hard work has finally ushered in a rich reward!

The few people who were named by Li Yun immediately knelt on the ground under the leadership of Pei Zhong, and thanked Li Yun with an excited face.

At this time, whether it was the Dongzhu Party who was being dragged down, or the Houdang people, they were all shocked at this time.

You must know that many of the positions of the six Shangshu appointed and dismissed by the emperor belong to their party.

Could it be that the emperor is really ready to completely turn his face with them?

What exactly is Xu Wen's plan?

It's just that now they don't have time to ask, because in the blink of an eye, they have been dragged out of the door and headed towards the edict.

On the square in front of the Taihe Palace, the courtiers have been reduced by a small half, and they seem to be much empty.

I only heard the emperor continue:

"The pro-army guards have been poisoned by the eunuch party for a long time, except for the left and right Yulin guards, the commanders of the military guards are dismissed and investigated, and they are sent to prison!"

The commanders of the guards who were present who dropped their swords and knelt on the ground were immediately dragged out by the guards of the martial arts guards.

Li Yun continued:

"Miao Fengshan, I have appointed you as the commander of the left guard of the government army, and I can go and lead your guards today."

In the middle of the martial arts, Miao Fengshan immediately knelt down with joy and thanked him.

Immediately afterwards, all the heads of the Wulin Guard also heard the emperor's personal canonization again at this time, and became the commander of the guards on the spot.

It is very convenient to know that those guards are on this square at this time.

Just bring someone over to command the troops.

At this time, there are a total of half of the guards on the Taihe Hall Square, and the remaining few military guard commanders, without the support of the top military forces such as Enhai's sticky pole and the Chitose Army, they will be taken down in minutes in front of the masters of the martial arts.

Outside the Taihe Palace, the guards of the martial arts guard rushed in one after another, and there were thousands of people, and this was all the guards of the martial guard.

Only a few hundred top-notch martial artists appeared here before, and the rest were waiting outside the imperial city to join forces, and they were all recruited at this time.

Li Yun continued:

"Since the rebellion of Emperor Ling, there have been many parties in the court, which has brought disaster to the country and the people! Take down all the members of the so-called eunuch party and the post-party! If the chief official of each ministry and department is vacant, the senior officer shall temporarily take over the position! ”

A group of wolf-like martial arts guards immediately rushed into the courtiers again, this time, they had the list provided by Pei Zhong in their hands.

Soon, most of the remaining hundreds of courtiers were arrested and dragged down to the court, ready to be sent to prison.

At this time, under His Majesty Bai Yudan in front of the Taihe Palace, there were less than fifty courtiers left!

These people are either lonely ministers who are themselves famous for their clear streams, or Qing officials who have been marginalized, or poor people who have offended a certain party and been suppressed.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, ninety percent were arrested and imprisoned.

The entire court hall is empty!

For a while, the remaining courtiers led by Pei Zhong didn't know whether they were happy or worried.

At this moment, a cold voice with a little charm sounded on the side:

"The emperor is happy to take revenge, isn't he afraid that the court will collapse and chaos will rise everywhere?"
