Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 130 Cao Zhengchun, drafting the decree

Jinluan Palace.

After Cao Zhengchun finished explaining the reasons why Cui Yongyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and other ministers were convicted, the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

The faces of all the civil and military officials were extremely solemn.

Because what Cao Zhengchun said was really shocking.

This is no longer just as simple as arresting Cui Yongyuan and more than 20 court officials, but involves the entire Boling Cui family.

Colluded with Huang Tianjiao and plotted to kill Grand Master Wen Zhong.

The free-spirited king Zhou Qian was bewitched to raise his flag to rebel.

Either of these is enough to wipe out the Bolingcui family.

Civil and military officials can imagine what kind of collision will happen next between the man on the dragon throne and the Boling Cui family.

But the Bolingcui family is not an ordinary aristocratic family, but one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is deeply rooted in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant.

The man on the dragon throne wanted to use this to punish the Bolingcui family, but it was not as easy as imagined.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo's face was also extremely solemn.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Yuan Bo originally asked the housekeeper to find out why Cui Yongyuan, the Minister of Industry, and the others were confiscated by Dongchang, but found nothing.

Therefore, in today's morning meeting, Prime Minister Yuan Bocai had to stand up and report on this matter, wanting to test his tone.

Unexpectedly, the news that came out of the test was so shocking that Prime Minister Yuan Bo's pupils shrank slightly.

If Prime Minister Yuan Bo hadn't lowered his head, his strange change would not have been hidden from the eyes of interested people.

In addition to Prime Minister Yuan Bo, some officials such as the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Punishment did not appear to be so strange on the surface, but they just covered up the past very well.

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the civil and military officials below: "All my dear friends, must you have heard this?"

"Wen Taishi, the elder of the three dynasties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the thirty thousand elite divine warriors of the imperial court, were actually murdered like this."

"I really can't believe it."

"What makes me even more unbelievable is that one of the seven aristocratic families of my great Zhou Dynasty, a dignified and famous family, would actually associate with the traitors of the Huangtian Sect and associate with the traitors."

"He also tempted Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian to raise his flag to rebel, and secretly helped Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian to recruit troops."

"Is this my great Zhou family?"

"Is this the famous family of my great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Which beloved can tell me whether the wealthy families of Da Zhou are the famous families of Da Zhou, or are they the rebellious traitors of Da Zhou?"

Zhou Chen coldly glanced at every civil and military official below.

There was no anger on the surface, but anyone could hear the coldness in his tone.

Facing Zhou Chen's cold question, all the civil and military officials in the hall were silent for a while.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo lowered his head and glanced slightly at an official further behind.

The official immediately stood up with understanding and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter."

"After all, the Bolingcui family is a famous family that has been passed down for many years in our Zhou Dynasty. It has produced many talented people in the imperial court. It is also one of the seven aristocratic families in our Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that it is famous all over the world."

"So, this kind of thing cannot be treated with caution."

"Can you find any evidence for what Eunuch Cao said?"

"If there is a slight mistake, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the court."

After the official stood up, he said bravely.

At this time, anyone with any brains can see that it is not a good time to stand up and speak out.

Anyone who stands up and speaks out will definitely not be successful.

But this official had no choice. As a person of Prime Minister Yuan Bo, Prime Minister Yuan Bo gave him a hint that he must stand up and speak out.

Evidence?

Zhou Chen glanced at the official who stood up indifferently, and without saying a word, shouted directly to the outside: "Here, take off his official hat."

"Drag him out and deal with the Cui family's thieves together."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked.

No one expected that the emperor Zhou Chen would directly take down the official who stood up and asked for evidence without saying a word.

Even Prime Minister Yuan Bo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhou Chen to act in such a domineering manner.

Even if an official asks for evidence, he will be immediately taken down as a traitor of the Cui family.

"As commanded."

Dozens of stern-looking Imperial Guards walked in, captured the official, took off his official hat, and dragged him outside.

"emperor……."

"I am wronged! I have nothing to do with the Cui clan's thieves."

"I am thinking about the reputation of the imperial court!"

This official also didn't expect that he just stood up and asked for evidence according to the wishes of Prime Minister Yuan Bo, and he was directly classified as a traitor of the Cui family and arrested.

The official immediately struggled to explain.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the official tried to explain, it was of no avail.

Zhou Chen never looked at the official again.

We need proof from the imperial power.

There are really people who are not afraid of death!

Zhou Chen had no interest in unnecessary nonsense like this chess piece being pushed out for testing.

Zhou Chen wanted to use this to indirectly tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that empirical evidence was something that only the Ministry of Punishment needed.

His imperial power does not need it.

Because whoever his imperial power wants to die must die.

After the official was dragged out by the imperial army, Zhou Chen continued to look at the civil and military officials and said, "I have always thought that wealthy families are the place where talents are trained for my great Zhou Dynasty, they are the cornerstone of my great Zhou Dynasty, and they are famous families.

"

"I will not do anything that would disgrace the noble family, let alone associate with rebels, which would disgrace the noble family."

"But now I realize that I was wrong."

"A wealthy family may look glamorous on the outside, but secretly it's extremely dirty."

"Not only does it disgrace a distinguished family, but it also wants to cholera my entire kingdom."

"Just like the Boling Cui family, they actually dared to murder my grand master, the patriarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and let my 30,000 elite divine warriors die in the hands of traitors."

"He also tempted Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian to raise his flag to rebel and recruit troops for Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian."

"It is simply a heinous crime that cannot be punished."

"Cao Zhengchun."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing next to him.

"Prepare the decree."

"Exterminate the nine Boling Cui families and spread the evil deeds of the Boling Cui family to the world."

"I want the Bolingcui family to be nailed to the pillar of shame of being associated with traitors forever."

Zhou Chen said loudly with a cold face, as if the official who was dragged out just now was just a small episode and was not affected at all by the official who was dragged out.

As soon as Zhou Chen said these words, the expressions of all the civil and military officials below changed.

Kill the nine Boling Cui clans?

This emperor actually wanted to kill the nine Boling Cui families.

Although all the civil and military officials had just heard what Cao Zhengchun said, they had already expected that Zhou Chen would take action against the Boling Cui family.

But when I actually heard that Zhou Chen had issued an order to kill the nine Boling Cui families, I couldn't help but be a little shocked.

The Bolingcui family is one of the seven great families in the Zhou Dynasty.

It can be said that it is deeply rooted in Dazhou and has a profound influence.

None of the officials expected that Emperor Zhou Chen would be so courageous, and would deal with the Bolingcui family without hesitation, and would also kill the nine Bolingcui families.

Isn't it possible that the emperor Zhou Chen is not afraid that if he is not careful, he will cause turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty?

Little did they know, Zhou Chen had already issued a secret order to Lu Bu to annihilate the Bolingcui family.

Now it's just a formality.

I don't know what the officials would think if they knew that Lu Bu had wiped out the Bolingcui family.

"Retreat from the court."

After Zhou Chen finished making this decree, he didn't say anything more, got up and left directly.

…

As the morning comes to an end.

A shocking piece of news spread.

Now everyone knew why Cui Yongyuan, Minister of Industry, and more than 20 court officials were suddenly confiscated and exterminated by Dongchang.

It turned out that the Cui family of Boling colluded with the rebels of the Huangtian Sect, murdered the Grand Master Wen Zhong, and also bewitched the Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian to raise a banner to rebel.

The emperor has decreed the annihilation of the nine Boling Cui families.

Anyone involved with the Bolingcui family will be killed.

As soon as this news came out, everyone was shocked.

Who is Grand Master Wen Zhong?

It was the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The elders of the three dynasties supported the important ministers and held up half of the sky of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And who are the Boling Cui family?

That was one of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was a behemoth with deep roots throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

No one thought that Grand Master Wen Zhong died in the Four Prefectures in the northwest, but he was actually murdered by the Boling Cui family.

No one expected that the Bolingcui family, one of the seven aristocratic families and a prominent family, would do such a heinous and unethical thing.

He also colluded with the rebels of the Huangtian Sect and persuaded King Xiaoyao to raise a flag to rebel in the later period.

It is simply a disgrace to a distinguished family.

For a time, the reputation of the Bolingcui family was completely thrown into the abyss of hell, nailed to the pillar of shame of being associated with traitors.

And outside the palace gate.

After going down to court, all the civil and military officials walked out of the palace with solemn faces, and everyone's brows were knitted together.

What's going to happen next?

Every civil and military minister knows this in his heart.

As one of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Bolingcui family is not that easy to deal with.

The man in the palace wants to kill the nine Boling Cui families, which might cause a big chaos.

However, these have little to do with each of their civil and military ministers. What each of their civil and military ministers are worried about is whether the Bolingcui family's affairs will involve them.

After walking out of the palace, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Punishment glanced at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and were about to leave with Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo shook his head at the two of them.

Then, Prime Minister Yuan Bo left alone.

Seeing Prime Minister Yuan Bo shaking his head, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Punishment also understood what Prime Minister Yuan Bo meant and returned to their respective mansions.

"Marquis Weiwu, do you think there will be any surprises if the emperor orders the nine clans of the Boling Cui family to be exterminated?"

"After all, the Bolingcui family is not an ordinary wealthy family, and you should know that."

"It's not that easy to kill the nine Boling Cui families."

After the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian walked out of the palace together with Weiwuhou and the Minister of War, the Eighth Sage King Zhouxian looked at Weiwuhou and asked with a solemn face.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian originally thought that Zhou Chen just wanted to clean up the Boling Cui family's rights in the court, but he did not expect that Zhou Chen wanted to disturb the entire Cui family in Boling.

This made Zhou Xian, the Eight Sage King, have to worry that if Zhou Chen did this, he would not only destroy the Boling Cui family, but would instead cause chaos.

Wei Wuhou shook his head; "I don't know."

"But this is not something we should worry about."

"Since the emperor has made the decree, he must be sure of it."

"Besides, the Boling Cui family deserves to die for actually daring to collude with the rebels of the Huangtian Sect and murder the Grand Master."

"If I had known earlier that they colluded with Huang Tianjiao to murder the grand master, I would have led an army to destroy his Boling Cui family first."

Marquis Weiwu said with a look of hatred.

After hearing the news in the Yangxin Hall just now, Marquis Weiwu was also shocked and could not recover.

Marquis Weiwu did not expect that the Boling Cui family was behind the murder of the grand master in the four northwest prefectures.

It’s really a bit unbelievable.

"Hey, I'm still a little worried."

"The Boling Cui family is one of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has deep roots. If the emperor clearly decrees the death of the nine Cui family clans, the Boling Cui family will definitely not sit back and wait for death."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian sighed and said with some worry.

"I'm a little worried too."

"This kind of thing should be kept secret first, and it would be better to mobilize a large army to raid the Boling Cui family."

"But the emperor first arrested the officials of the Cui family in the court, and then ordered the execution of the nine clans of the Cui family. Didn't this alert the enemy and give the Cui family time to prepare?"

The Minister of War also said with a frown on his face, somewhat confused about Zhou Chen's intentions.

Logically speaking, judging from Zhou Chen's previous methods of dealing with General Wu Jin, Zhou Chen does not look like the kind of emperor who has no scheming intentions.

But this time Zhou Chen ordered the execution of the Boling Cui family, which made the Minister of War a little confused about Zhou Chen's approach.

The Minister of War did not believe it. Zhou Chen could not see that doing so would alert the enemy and give the Boling Cui family time to prepare in advance.

In response to the worried tone of the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and the Minister of War, Marquis Wei Wu glanced at them lightly: "How do you know that the emperor did not issue a secret order in advance to mobilize the army to deal with the Boling Cui family?"

The words of Marquis Weiwu shocked the faces of the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and the Minister of War. They suddenly thought of something and looked directly at Marquis Weiwu; "What do you mean..."

"The heart of an emperor is unfathomable."

Marquis Weiwu left without saying a word and took the first step to leave.

The Eight Sage King Zhou Xian and the Minister of War looked at the back of the mighty Marquis leaving and looked at each other again.

A gleam flashed through their eyes at the same time, and they left without saying anything more.

After the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and the other three left, Du Ruhui walked out from the corner of the palace gate at the back.

Du Ruhui glanced at the backs of the Eight Sages and the Minister of War as they left, then looked in the direction in which the mighty princes were leaving, and couldn't help but murmur to himself, "They say military generals are reckless men."

"But the general is not as wise as he is foolish!"

"A Minister of War, an Eight Wise Kings, but not a general can understand it."

"No matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably become confused when he has time!"

Du Ruhui sighed, withdrew his gaze and left the palace gate.

Little did they know that every move of the civil and military officials who walked out of the palace was under Dongchang's surveillance.
