Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Yan Donghuang ignored the eldest son of the Chu family who was being tortured, and ignored the pleading eyes of Mrs. Chu, and walked into the hall step by step.

He also ignored the pale and frightened expressions of the people kneeling on the ground, and walked straight to the emperor in front.

"This is the account book and list that I found in the secret compartment of Minister Chu's study." Yan Donghuang handed several list books in his hand to Emperor Wu Lie, "Does your father need to take a look?"

Emperor Wu Lie said: "What account book?"

"Minister Chu accepted bribes, bought and sold official positions, withheld military pay, used local officials to enclose land and occupy the people's land, and officials in the court regularly paid tribute." Yan Donghuang said, "The earliest time can be traced back to twelve years ago."

Yan Donghuang had seen the account book when the family was raided in the previous life.

Minister Chu's corruption was not limited to the delay of grain and grass.

Although that caused the Qingluan Army to delay the supply of food and grass, it is estimated that the amount he embezzled from the military pay should not exceed one million taels - the real culprit for the delay of food and grass is still Yan Ming.

Therefore, a large part of the gold and silver in the Chu family's warehouse is accumulated from years of corruption.

Emperor Wu Lie did not look at the list and account book, but only said: "Keep the account book and the list yourself."

Yan Donghuang said nothing and put the list and account book in his arms.

Emperor Wu Lie looked at Minister Chu: "Chu Jingyuan, what else do you have to say?"

Chu Jingyuan trembled and shivered for a long time: "Minister...Minister, minister..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Emperor Wu Lie said calmly, "Drag him out."

Two guards came in and dragged Minister Chu out.

"Lord Ye." Emperor Wu Lie said calmly, "How many people are there in the Chu family? You are responsible for counting the number of people. Behead them outside the Meridian Gate tomorrow."

Minister Ye is the Minister of Justice. Hearing this, his heart trembled and he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"Father." Yan Donghuang said indifferently, "The Chu family also has several forced concubines and their illegitimate children. They have been living a harsh life for many years and cannot even be included in the family tree. They are children that the Chu family does not recognize. I think I can spare their lives."

Emperor Wu Lie frowned slightly: "Donghuang, being kind and soft-hearted is a taboo for emperors."

"I don't think I am a kind-hearted person, but I should be able to distinguish right from wrong." Yan Donghuang said indifferently "They are indeed innocent. They were forced to submit and have children, but they can't even protect their own children. Their fate is tragic enough. In the end, they are implicated by the Chu family and die together. It's unfair to them."

Emperor Wu Lie was silent for a moment. Thinking of Yan Donghuang's unhappy childhood experience, he softened his heart for a moment and finally gave in: "Lord Ye, the bastards under the age of fifteen who are not on the family tree of the Chu family and their aunts will be left behind, and the rest will be killed."

Minister Ye accepted the order: "I obey your order."

"Go and do it."

"Yes."

Minister Ye got up from the ground. His legs hurt so much, but he didn't even dare to rub them. He left with a stiff step.

Emperor Wu Lie looked at the people kneeling in the hall with a heavy look in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Does anyone else want to say anything?"

Everyone lowered their heads, and the whole audience was silent.

"No one objects?" Emperor Wu Lie frowned, "Didn't you scream loudly just now?"

Concubine De's face was pale and shaky.

Yan Ming was as stiff as a wooden sculpture, with a wooden expression.

The other princes were like frightened birds, bowing their heads and keeping silent.

Not to mention the ministers, Chu Shangshu jumped out and ended up with his entire family being executed, and his eldest son was beaten to death outside the palace...

Even the private affairs of the family were exposed, and his life and reputation were destroyed overnight.

Such a deterrent method really suits the emperor's temper.

Who else would dare to jump out?

"Since no one objects, the prime minister and the Ministry of Rites will prepare for the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince. The Ministry of Works will send people to repair the East Palace and choose a day for Donghuang to move in." Emperor Wu Lie waved his hand, "I am tired, everyone retreat."

Prime Minister Pei was the first to stand up.

He was in his forties. When he was young, he practiced martial arts for a period of time to strengthen his body, so his body was pretty good, but later he was busy with studying for the imperial examinations, and after entering the officialdom, he was busy with his official career, and all the boxing and kicking skills he had practiced were abandoned.

Kneeling for such a long time was a bit difficult for him.

But it was more of a mental pressure than a physical one.

Prime Minister Pei's eyes fell on the princes in the front row, and he saw Yan Ming staggering to his feet, his legs weak and powerless, obviously due to fear and despair.

The fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince were the same.

Although the Minister Chu, who was sentenced by the emperor today, had no interest in marriage with them, the emperor's pressure was palpitating, and few people could really remain calm.

The wailing of the eldest son of the Chu family outside the palace had long stopped, and his body was dragged out.

Minister Chu and Mrs. Chu were also taken to the prison. As long as the Ministry of Justice counted the exact list of the Chu family members, they would be taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded tomorrow.

The royal relatives and important officials who were still majestic yesterday will be executed outside the Meridian Gate tomorrow. Who wouldn't be frightened? Who wouldn't be terrified?

The concubines were supported by the palace maids and left tremblingly.

The princes all looked pale, and before leaving, they looked deeply at Yan Donghuang, with doubt, unwillingness, resentment and fear in their eyes, which was very complicated.

Unfortunately, such a look did not hurt Yan Donghuang, and she even disdained to respond.

When Emperor Wu Lie stood up, he brushed Chunrong's hand away and motioned Yan Donghuang to help him into the hall: "Donghuang, do you have anything else to add about today's matter?"

Yan Donghuang supported him and turned to walk into the inner hall: "I want to cancel my engagement with Sheng Jingan."

Emperor Wu Lie looked at her in surprise: "Why is this?"

"My son, my heart belongs to you."

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Wu Lie didn't take it seriously. "You are the future king of a country, and the three palaces and six courtyards are indispensable. Whoever you like can be accepted into the palace."

Yan Donghuang said: "Sheng Jing'an cannot be in my harem."

Although Emperor Wu Lie didn't know why she was so determined, he thought about it and nodded: "In that case, I will give you an edict to terminate the engagement, and I will bring it out when the opportunity comes."

The Duke of Zhen Guo passed away less than a year ago, so if the engagement was terminated now, it would be a waste of time.

Yan Donghuang nodded: "Yes."

She was in no hurry.

When she got married to Sheng Jing'an in her previous life, the new emperor had been on the throne for two and a half years. But at this time, Sheng Jing'an was still in mourning and could neither enter the court nor get married. There was no rush to cancel the engagement.

In fact, even without this edict to terminate the engagement, she could still find an excuse to break up with the Sheng family.

In the previous life, Sheng Jing'an was so easily taken advantage of by Yan Ming, and he got Shen Yun pregnant before marrying her, which proved that he was not a gentleman with an upright temperament, but a selfish, despicable and spineless villain.

Even under ordinary circumstances, this kind of person should have a lot of troubles. It would be easy to ruin his reputation.
