Chapter 74: Killing the whole family
Suddenly, the emperor finally sneered and threw the petition in his hand on the table, "This is the good minister I have raised."
There was obviously no trace of anger, but the terrifying pressure still made everyone present tremble, with goosebumps all over their bodies, as if there was a sword hanging from their necks.
If a person is angry all the time, then his anger is not so noticeable; if a person who has always been kind and good-tempered suddenly becomes angry, it is a terrifying existence.
What's more, that person is the emperor who holds the power of life and death in the world.
The emperor was so angry that no one dared to answer the question.
"I am usually too kind. I actually checked my hands on the examination room. Everyone, I am impatient!"
With a "snap", a piece of exquisite porcelain on the table was thrown to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere. With that crisp sound, everyone in the palace knelt down with a "plop"
Everyone on the ground lowered their heads and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down!" without even daring to express their anger.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there no one leaving the court?"
The eunuch kneeling beside him said, "Your Majesty, you are still waiting."
"Ruan Qingzhu, get your list and come here."
"yes."
Tai Chi Palace is not far from Tai Chi Palace, and the group arrived at Tai Chi Palace quickly.
The officials of Taiji Hall were all in danger and exchanged information with each other. Because Ruan Qingzhu had been investigating the case with integrity these past few days, they were all afraid that Ruan Qingzhu would find out about them, and they all knew that today was the deadline.
Early in the morning, they all arrived at the court with trepidation. However, His Majesty met Ruan Qingzhu in Taiji Palace, which made them even more frightened. They did not know whether they were implicated, nor did they know His Majesty's reaction.
It can be said that I am not anxious.
Therefore, when they saw the emperor again with undisguised anger on his face, their hearts had already sunk a bit.
On the marble-paved floor, the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live your Majesty, long live long live." The emperor stood beside the dragon chair and said, "Long live? With your courage, I think this long live should be given to you."
!”
Anger shot into the sky, and the emperor's angry voice echoed in the empty hall.
The emperor sneered, stretched out his hand, and Ruan Qingzhu quickly put the list of people into the emperor's hands.
The emperor shook open the list of names, and when everyone was in panic, he said, "According to my decree, Chen Zhengdao, Jin Qing, and Zhao An will be beheaded in public. Within three generations, all will be hanged, their property will be confiscated, and the remaining family members will be sent to the army. Qian Su
, Zheng Wensi, Gu Ting, Xu Ce, Liu Sanshu... will be beheaded three days later, and the remaining participants will be handed over to Dali Temple for punishment according to law and severe punishment."
Many of the officials below were trembling all over and breaking into cold sweats. The emperor was so angry that he buried millions of corpses in order to calm the emperor down.
"Come here, Guo has seized the official title, and now he is sent to Zhao Prison.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly erupted in cries. The ministers who could still maintain their kneeling posture kept kowtowing their heads and banging on the marble surface. However, the sounds kept coming and going.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong. I beg you to be more lenient. I beg you to consider the fact that I have dedicated myself to you for many years and bypass me once..."
"Your Majesty, I personally accompanied you on the expedition and fought for you through life and death. Please bypass me..."
"Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment. I will not dare to do it again next time. Please forgive me this time. Please..."
The hall was filled with sounds of begging for mercy, the sound of "bang bang", the heart-wrenching wails of begging for mercy, and the sound of the guards dragging people away, all intertwined and tidy.
The marble floor was covered with bloodstains, either from the blood on their foreheads or from the sounds of being accidentally injured by the guards during their struggle. However, no one dared to beg for mercy for them.
Even though he was crying and begging for mercy, the eyes of the emperor in front of the dragon throne were still like deep pools, covered with anger, without a trace of compassion.
The originally magnificent palace was now like purgatory. No one dared to make a sound, for fear that they would be the next one. Some of the ministers who were taken away were still holding on to the clothes of the ministers around them. However, I don’t know who it was, but they just begged for mercy.
, however, no one around them dared to speak for them.
The emperor was angry, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Moreover, His Majesty did not read out the entire list. The names in front of them were all guilty of serious sins. They didn't know their fate, so how could they have any involvement in it?
When those people in the main hall were dragged away, the remaining people in the court were either nervous and scared, or they were proud that their great revenge had been avenged.
The morning is still going on.
"This case of cheating in the autumn examination of science and technology has caused many candidates to fail. There are too many people involved. Considering that it is difficult for them to study, we will hold another autumn examination in half a month."
It is imperative to hold the Qiu Wei Festival again. This time the losses of the court officials are excessive. If people are not quickly transferred to make up for it, the entire officialdom will have problems, so half a month is not too close.
When the people in the court saw His Majesty mention other things, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After the disaster, they happily said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The emperor looked at Ruan Qingzhu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "This time Ruan Qing worked hard day and night and made great achievements. I know that you are of noble character and will not commit corruption. Therefore, I will serve as an examiner next time. After these few days,
I have also heard that you are very famous among the people, and you were even called the "parent official". You are also quite capable during this investigation. It just so happens that the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is vacant, so you can fill it.
.”
Ruan Qingzhu opened his eyes and said in surprise, "Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
"I am determined to be an honest and upright official, with clean sleeves, dedicated to Your Majesty until my death!"
The emperor nodded, looked at Wang Yun who remained silent, and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?"
Wang Yun nodded and said, "Back to your majesty, your majesty has made proper arrangements. The Great Suffering will definitely produce many more honest and upright people, and they will definitely be able to prosper in the future."
"Your Majesty's talents are rare to see in a lifetime. Long live my emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers below couldn't help but shout long live the song over and over again.
The emperor's expression finally softened a little, and everyone's spirits finally relaxed a little.
"Okay, nothing happened, let's all be over."
Soon, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, and Wang Yun was left to discuss state affairs, because many courtiers had been pulled down and needed to discuss promotions.
As the biggest beneficiary of this incident, Ruan Qingzhu naturally attracted much attention, but his usually upright image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After this battle, he became a thorn in the side of that group of people. Not only did no one congratulate him, but there were also many people who came to express their anger.
