Inside the Golden Temple.

Two elite snow dragon riders walked into the Great Hall, dragging a hedgehog-like corpse filled with arrows.

"Report to Your Majesty, the traitor Xu Lushan has been executed!"

In the Great Hall, many courtiers glanced at the corpse and couldn't help but gasp!

Xu Lushan is a master of Martial Dao, his Cultivation Base has reached the peak of second rank, very close to the existence of Vajra realm!

They originally thought that Xu Lushan might be able to save his life by escaping from the Golden Luan Hall.

Unexpectedly, he was shot into a sieve!

It seems that His Majesty has already laid a net outside!

Participating in the rebellion, there is no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to earth!

Looking at the silent officials, Li Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, dear friends, I only kill traitors. As long as you are loyal to me, nothing will happen."

"Your Majesty has learned from you that I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty!"

"If the ministers had known about the Sixth Prince's conspiracy earlier, they would definitely be ashamed of His Majesty, and they would die!"

"Your Majesty, the six princes who rebel against the party have all been put to death! The rest are loyal ministers who are loyal to His Majesty!"

"..."

The ministers scrambled to show their loyalty to Li Xiu,

"They are all loyal ministers? I'm afraid not."

A hint of mockery appeared on Li Xiu's face, "I forgot to tell you that the list that Cao Aiqing read just now is only part of the confession made by Lao Liu."

"Xu Lushan and others are all masterminds of the nine clans who deserve to be punished. I have a list of accomplices here, which have not been announced yet."

What, another list?

The smiles on the faces of the officials suddenly froze.

They thought His Majesty's anti-revolutionary campaign was over today, but who would have thought that His Majesty still had a list of accomplices?

"Besides, this list of accomplices is quite a lot."

Li Xiu looked at Cao Zhengchun who was on the side, "Eunuch Cao, have you counted them? How many accomplices are there?"

Cao Zhengchun arched his cupped hands, "For Your Majesty, there are a total of one hundred and eight."

"One hundred and eight..."

Li Xiu stroked his chin, and looked seriously at the officials below the Great Hall, "The sum of all the officials in the Golden Hall is about the same."

"Eunuch Cao, did you make a mistake? Could it be that all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are traitors?"

"Your Majesty, this old servant remembers very clearly, that's all."

Cao Zhengchun said with no expression on his face.

At this time, all the officials in the court were about to cry.

In fact, many of them knew about the Sixth Prince's rebellion in advance, because in everyone's eyes, the Sixth Prince's palace change was almost foolproof, so more than 80% of the hundred officials stood in line with the Sixth Prince.

But who would have expected that this foolproof palace change would fail!

"Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged. This is a conspiracy of the sixth prince. He is deliberately creating a confrontation between His Majesty and the officials!"

"That's right, the sixth prince has ulterior motives. He wants His Majesty to kill all the ministers and leave His Majesty no one to use. His intentions are vicious!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han, so there is no other choice!"

"..."

Above the court hall, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly became extremely united, kowtowing to Li Xiu non-stop.

"My dear friends, there is no need to panic."

Li Xiu waved his hand, but a very bright smile appeared on his face, "I am not a bloodthirsty tyrant, why would I want to kill people in the court?"

However, Xiao Linzi at the side couldn't listen anymore. Your Majesty, you just beheaded seventeen officials. Who would believe you now? "After all, if you are all killed, who will do things for me? Do you think so?"

At first, the civil and military officials were a little flustered, but after hearing Li Xiu's words, their hearts fell back into their stomachs, and a look of surprise immediately replaced their faces.

"Your Majesty is holy! Your Majesty is holy!"

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the ministers are all loyal ministers who are loyal to His Majesty, and they have no second thoughts!"

It seems that their heads have been saved for the time being.

"Okay, okay, I know that you are all loyal ministers, so, now, I plan to give you a chance to show your loyalty."

Li Xiu looked around the court hall, and said with a smile: "Presumably, you all know that the treasury is empty now, and the newly recruited army is in urgent need of military pay, so now is the time when the court needs your loyal ministers to make selfless contributions. "

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Your Majesty, this is asking them to spend money to buy peace!

"The old minister is willing to give half of his family property to serve the court!"

Just when the ministers were still hesitating about how much to "dedicate" to be considered appropriate, Grand Master Sima Yi had already jumped out, speaking righteously.

The way the ministers looked at Sima Yi suddenly changed slightly.

Contains a trace of admiration.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was half of the family property, and the grand master was the grand master. Sure enough, he was generous and the pattern was high enough.

"Only half?"

Li Xiu on the dragon chair frowned, "It seems that Grand Master Sima is not as loyal as I imagined."

When Sima Yi heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Half of the property is too little?

Your Majesty is going to kill the chicken to get the egg!

However, when Sima Yi saw the trace of displeasure on Li Xiu's face, he still held back the pain in his heart, "Veteran...willing to hand over all the property to the imperial court!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiu slapped Xiao Linzi's thigh with his palm, causing the latter to grin his teeth in pain, "The grand master is indeed loyal to the public and the country, and he is the number one loyal minister in this court!"

Li Xiu highly praised Grand Master Sima Yi, and then turned his gaze to the other courtiers, "There shouldn't be only Sima Grand Master in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, is this a loyal minister?"

Glanced by Li Xiu's eyes, all the ministers felt their backs, and they complained endlessly.

Looking at this posture, His Majesty cannot be satisfied unless all the property is donated!

That is the family property accumulated by their ancestors for generations, and donating it all will be a big blow to them.

However, under the watchful eyes of Li Xiu, the ministers still made choices one after another.

"If the court is in trouble, everyone is responsible! Minister of the Ministry of War, I am willing to donate all my family property to enrich the treasury!"

"My minister Dali Siqing is also willing to donate all his family property and contribute to the country!"

"..."

The civil and military officials present all acted as if they were loyal to the country, but in reality they were all bleeding from their hearts!

However, they dare not speak out!

Today, Li Xiu beheaded seventeen rebel officials and confiscated the civil and military property of the Manchu Dynasty. Such a thunderous method completely overturned the perception of Li Xiu as a young emperor by all officials.

It was hard for them to believe that the submissive little emperor in the past would become the current iron-blooded Great Emperor who acted vigorously with both kindness and majesty!

At this moment, many courtiers found that they felt a little reverence for the young His Majesty in front of them!

In these years, the imperial power of the Great Tang Dynasty has fallen, and the rules and regulations have been corrupted. To the officials, the emperor is almost just a decoration!

Above the court, as long as there is a minister with some power, he will not To put the emperor in one's eyes.

For the emperor, they haven't felt this kind of awe for many years!

Could it be that the Great Tang Dynasty is really about to change?
