Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 117 This is a court, not a vegetable market

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen issued several orders to Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang.

Zhou Chen knew that the Bolingcui family was one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty and was deeply rooted in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He has extraordinary influence both at court and locally.

If you want to wipe out a wealthy family like the Cui family, which is deeply rooted in the Zhou Dynasty, you don't just need to mobilize the army to wipe out the Boling Cui family.

It is also necessary to eliminate all the influence of the Cui family in the court and local areas.

Therefore, in addition to mobilizing Lu Bu's army to annihilate the Bolingcui family, Dongchang also had to assist in apprehending the officials of the Bolingcui family in the court and scattered in the local areas.

After Cao Zhengchun heard these orders from Zhou Chen, he immediately leaned over and said, "I obey the order."

Today's Dongchang is no longer the same as before. The number of factory guards has increased a lot, and its strength has also expanded a lot.

Although it is impossible to say that you have to worry about all the places in Dazhou, some of them are still ok.

Zhou Chen closed the memorial that Cao Shaoqin had sent back in his hand and threw it to Cao Zhengchun; "I will deal with all the above as well."

"Especially people from the Jianghu dare to get involved in the affairs of my court, and join forces with the Huangtian Rebellion to kill my Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They really don't know whether to live or die."

"Everyone involved will be destroyed by me."

"A chivalrous man breaks the law with force."

"My great Zhou Dynasty does not allow the appearance of outsiders."

Zhou Chen said coldly.

Except for three of the nine great masters who besieged Taishi Wen Zhong, they were the three leaders of the Huangtian Sect, and the other six were all from the Jianghu.

Although these six people in the world are dead, Zhou Chen will not just let it go.

If a mere person in the Jianghu dares to make an enemy of the Zhou court and kill his Grand Master, then even if he dies, he will still have to pay the price.

Zhou Chen will wipe out all the relatives or sects that are related to these six people in the world, so as to wake up the people in Zhou Dynasty.

Let these people in the world see, this is the result of being an enemy of Zhou Dynasty.

"Old slave, I obey the order." Cao Zhengchun obeyed the leader's order again.

After making these orders, Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was kneeling on the ground and said, "This matter must be kept secret."

"I don't want these people to have received the news in advance before taking action."

Zhou Chen reminded Cao Zhengchun.

Zhou Chen has never underestimated the power of the aristocratic family.

The noses of these aristocratic families are sharper than those of dogs.

As long as the slightest hint of trouble spreads, these aristocratic families will know immediately.

Especially for a behemoth like the Bolingcui family, one of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the relationship network and information network may not necessarily have reached that deep level.

If the Bolingcui family hears such rumors, it will increase a lot of variables.

After all, the strength of a family as gigantic as the Bolingcui family, one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, cannot be underestimated.

Once you hear the news in advance and are prepared, it will turn into quite a turmoil.

Cao Zhengchun nodded; "I understand."

"Then go and draft the edict and arrange it!" Zhou Chen waved his hand.

After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun stood up and left the Yangxin Hall.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhou Chen tapped the dragon case with his fingers, his brows slightly furrowed in thought.

Cui Songshan?

Boling Cui family?

Then what roles do the other six aristocratic families play?

Zhou Chen thought with twinkling eyes.

Although there is no direct evidence that there is a direct relationship between Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian's rebellion and the Cui family.

But Zhou Chen was sure that the rebellion by Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian had something to do with the Cui family.

Because the Cui family is the family of Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian's maternal uncle, when Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian was still the prince, the Cui family was the supporter behind Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian.

Therefore, when King Zhou Qian of Xiaoyao raised his banner to rebel, it was inevitable that the Cui family would secretly help him.

There is no doubt about this.

Zhou Chen was thinking about what role the other six major families played in this matter.

You know, according to Zhou Chen's knowledge, many masters appeared when Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian raised his banner to rebel, especially masters like seven great masters and a dozen minor masters.

Even if the Cui family is one of the seven great aristocratic families in Zhou Dynasty, no matter how many masters they use at once, it will break their muscles and bones.

Without sufficient benefits, it is impossible for the Cui family to support Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian with all their strength and strength.

Could it be that the other six aristocratic families are involved in this matter?

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Zhou Chen's lips.

These wealthy families are really good at cleaning up all the traces, so that even Dongchang can't find any clues.

There are indeed some ways.

However, even so, do you think everything will be fine?

"hehe."

"If I, the emperor Zhou Chen, want to kill someone, why do I need evidence sometimes?"

Zhou Chen stood up and walked into the inner hall of Yangxin Hall with a sneer.

…

the next day.

Morning starts.

In the Jinluan Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials filed in according to their official positions.

After Zhou Chen ascended the dragon platform and sat on the dragon chair, all the civil and military officials knelt down and saluted.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

All civil and military officials knelt down and shouted.

Zhou Chen put his hands on the handle of the dragon chair and looked down at Baiguan Dao: "Everyone please speak calmly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all the officials knelt down to thank him, they stood up one after another.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

Cao Zhengchun, who was standing beside the dragon chair, shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice fell, an official stood up and said.

"speak."

When Zhou Chen saw that the person standing up was a speaker, he softly uttered a word.

The so-called Yanguan is an official who has the power to hear the news and report things, and the power is not small.

"Information to Your Majesty, I would like to submit a copy of this book to Mr. Xuan Lingfang in the Ministry of Civil Service."

"The emperor has entrusted Lord Fang with an important task and appointed Lord Fang as the imperial envoy to provide disaster relief to the people of the four northern states."

"But Mr. Fang went on a killing spree in the four northern states relying on the power of the imperial envoys. Most of the local officials in Yanzhou were innocently captured by Mr. Fang, which caused turmoil in the local government of Yanzhou."

"Master Fang also ransacked and exterminated most of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou, even in Daizhou. It was simply lawless."

"I want to investigate the situation where Lord Fang, relying on the power of imperial envoys, kills innocent people indiscriminately and creates a cholera epidemic."

"Please, Your Majesty, investigate clearly."

After the official stood up, he loudly participated in what Fang Xuanling did in Yanzhou and Daizhou.

His tone was fierce and his face was full of indignation, as if Fang Xuanling had really committed some heinous crime in Daizhou and Yanzhou.

What?

Participate in Xuanling?

When Zhou Chen heard this, his expression was obviously stunned.

Before Zhou Chen could react, another official stood up.

"Your Majesty, I also want to read a copy of Master Xuanlingfang from the Ministry of Civil Service."

"Master Fang, as the imperial envoy for disaster relief, should have done his best to provide disaster relief and rescue the people and appease the local area."

"But Master Fang has caused a lot of jail trouble in Yanzhou and Daizhou, causing the two states that had just been somewhat calmed down to become turbulent again."

"It is simply a disgrace to the divine grace."

"Please, Your Majesty, investigate clearly."

The speaker stood up and asked Fang Xuanling with a stern look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I also want to attend the meeting with Master Shangshufang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"Your Majesty, I also want to attend Fang Xuanling."

…

Immediately afterwards, officials one after another came forward to visit Fang Xuanling.

Each of their faces was filled with righteous indignation, and their involvement in Fang Xuanling's affairs was similar.

It was nothing more than Fang Xuanling going on a killing spree in Yanzhou and Daizhou, capturing many officials, confiscating their homes and exterminating many wealthy families.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair and narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to the officials standing up one by one to visit Xuanling.

To be honest, Zhou Chen really didn't expect that in today's morning meeting, there would be officials standing up to visit Xuanling.

And there are so many officials.

Don't these people know that Fang Xuanling belongs to his emperor?

Can’t you guess that the things Fang Xuanling did in Yanzhou and Daizhou were all ordered by him, the emperor?

Obviously, these people know it in their hearts.

There was no official in the entire court who could not guess that Fang Xuanling was acting in accordance with the emperor's will.

But these officials still came forward to investigate what Fang Xuanling was doing in Yanzhou and Daizhou.

It seems that some people can't sit still.

"Your Majesty, I also want to attend Fang Xuanling."

"As a minister of the imperial envoy, Fang Xuanling did not care about providing disaster relief and rescuing the people, but relied on the power of the imperial envoy to arrest local officials, ransack their homes and exterminate all the famous families."

"Even the Cui family, my kin in Qinghe Mansion, was inexplicably confiscated and exterminated."

"Please ask your Majesty to make the decision for your fellow ministers."

"Remove Fang Xuanling's authority as imperial envoy and recall him to the court for questioning."

After other officials visited Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Industry also stepped forward to visit Fang Xuanling.

Compared with the previous officials who had participated in Fang Xuanling, this Minister of the Ministry of Industry, one of the six ministers, was undoubtedly much heavier.

In the past, those officials who participated in Fangxuanling were just small shrimps and fishes. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was one of the six ministers and held a high position.

Such an important official from the imperial court stood up to visit Fang Xuanling, and his weight was not comparable to those of the previous officials.

Zhou Chen squinted at the more than 20 officials who stood up to visit Fang Xuanling, and then looked at the other civil and military ministers expressionlessly: "Is there any other beloved minister who wants to visit Fang Xuanling?"

Zhou Chen's eyes scanned the other civil and military officials who had not spoken.

Especially the Prime Minister Yuan Bo, the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Punishment and other high-ranking officials from wealthy families in the court, Zhou Chen glanced at them more often.

Because Zhou Chen knew in his heart that Fang Xuanling's drastic actions in the four northern states had made some wealthy families unable to sit still.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Cui Shangshu and other ministers."

At this time, the Minister of War stood up and spoke righteously.

"There was a severe drought in the four northern states, the people were displaced, and corpses were scattered all over the fields. Finally, a civil uprising broke out, causing chaos in the four northern states."

"Are the local officials in the four northern states not guilty?"

"As officials of the imperial court, they sit in charge and govern a place for the imperial court, but as a result, such a chaos occurs. They cannot escape their guilt."

"As the Imperial Envoy, Fang Shangshu, is it wrong to capture them?"

"As for the fact that Fang Shangshu destroyed the aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Daizhou, I feel that it is not wrong."

"The rebels of the Huangtian Sect have been operating in the four northern states for a long time. I don't believe that the families in the four northern states have no knowledge of it."

As soon as the Minister of War said these words, the expressions of many officials in the hall changed.

Because of this, anyone with any brain can think of it, but no one dares to say it.

But now, the Minister of War has spoken out this point, directly sending the aristocratic families in the four northern states into hell.

Huang Tianjiao raised the banner of rebellion and failed to report what he knew. This is a serious crime.

And according to the wishes of the Minister of War, other wealthy families must also be involved.

After all, even the aristocratic families in the four northern states knew about Huang Tianjiao's affairs, so how could a family like the Boling Cui family, one of the seven major Zhou aristocratic families, not know about it?

Who would believe this?

"Your Majesty, I agree with the wishes of the Minister of War."

"The local officials in the four northern states are corrupt. They even dared to embezzle money from the imperial court for disaster relief. The wealthy families are even more unscrupulous. It is public opinion for Lord Fang to capture these officials and destroy the families."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

An official stood up and said in agreement with the Minister of War.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with what the Minister of the Ministry of War said. What Mr. Fang did should be based on some evidence. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mr. Fang to innocently capture local officials and destroy the family."

…

Immediately afterwards, a dozen officials in a row stood up to agree with the Minister of War, and formed a confrontation with the Minister of Hubu and other more than 20 officials who had participated in Fang Xuanling.

After hearing what the Minister of War and these officials said, the Minister of Works said, "Li Shangshu, what do you mean?"

"You need to have evidence to say this. This kind of thing can't just happen by just opening your mouth."

"If you don't have evidence, then it's a false accusation."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War unkindly and said.

For other officials who agree with the Minister of War, it is not worthy for the Minister of Industry to confront him tit for tat.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry could only confront the Minister of the Ministry of War tit for tat.

evidence?

"Fang Shangshu will bring the evidence back to you when the time comes."

“I don’t believe that Fang Shangshu would wrongly accuse a good person, but I believe that Fang Shangshu would definitely not let a bad person go.”

The Minister of the Ministry of War looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry lightly and said.

"Li Shangshu, you..."

The Minister of Industry wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhou Chen on the dragon throne.

"alright."

"This is a court hall, not a vegetable market."

"You are all important officials of the imperial court. Look at how you look now. Do you still look like an important official of the imperial court?"

Zhou Chen coldly glanced at the confronting officials from both sides and scolded him coldly.

"I already know about Fang Xuanling, and I will ask Dongchang to verify it."

"That's it!"

"Retreat from the court."

Zhou Chen stood up and left without saying a word.

However, when Zhou Chen left, he took a deep look at the Minister of Industry.

Perhaps no one knows the profound meaning of Zhou Chen's glance at the Minister of Industry.

But Cao Zhengchun, who was following Zhou Chen, knew.

Because the Minister of Industry is a member of the Bolingcui family, he is the representative of the Bolingcui family with the right to speak in the court.

Then the profound meaning of Zhou Chen's glance at the Minister of Industry is self-evident.
