Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 923 Murder

  When a dynasty is too peaceful for a long time, the atmosphere will naturally tend to be literate.

When the Jin Dynasty was founded, it was only a partial peace dynasty. Several generations of emperors were bullied by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu, the style of the dynasty was more martial. Only then did the appearance of fierce men like Li Zhijie and Ye Sheng. Emperor Wu once completely solved the foreign troubles. , No matter it was Nanshu or Northern Zhou, they were all wiped out by that generation of monarchs and ministers, but after the unification of the world, Emperor Wu, who was short-tempered and loved martial arts, did not continue to advocate force, but in order to consolidate his rule, he announced that he would share the world with scholar-bureaucrats.

   It is because of this sentence that many ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty entered the Dajin court at that time and did their best for Dajin. Today, there are still many old Northern Zhou ministers or descendants of the old Northern Zhou ministers in the Dajin court.

After Emperor Wu, the emperor of Chengde recuperated, implemented benevolent governance, abolished some unreasonable tyranny and rules during Emperor Wu's period, and pardoned many unjust cases during Emperor Wu's period. The subsequent Taikang Dynasty also basically inherited the policy of the emperor of Chengde. Not much has changed.

   That's why Shen Kuan said "the three generations of benevolent government in the Great Jin Dynasty".

It is precisely because the imperial court has been so kind to these scholars since the unification of the Great Jin Dynasty. After Zhang Qu, Huanchu, and other virtuous prime ministers of the Chengde Dynasty left the court, Shen Kuan, the younger generation of the Shangshutai, became so arrogant that they wanted to control them. Political affairs, change the day!

   Until now, Shen Kuan still refused to bow his head and scolded Li Xin when he opened his mouth.

In this era, it is very disrespectful to call the other party's name, let alone expose the other party's shortcomings. Li Xin's old story of selling charcoal in those days has basically no one dared to mention it since he made a fortune. Thief", and it has never happened before.

  If it is a person of this era, maybe there will be violent murders at this time.

   But Li Xin didn't pay much attention to this. He half-squinted his eyes and said indifferently, "This is the first time I've heard someone call me that. Shen Xiang is very creative."

He had already turned his face, and Shen Kuan didn't care too much, scolding angrily: "You got into the imperial court by clinging to the late emperor. After you made your fortune, you even harbored evil intentions, colluding with the southwestern rebels, and plotting to do something wrong! Now you actually want to kill me, Zaifu. , Dajin has always been kind to scholars and officials for more than 40 years, you Li Changan, a savage boy, a charcoal seller, are you going to ruin my country's luck in Dajin!"

   "Good curse."

   Mrs. Li rubbed her palms with a smile: "I knew that you big-headed scholars had a face-to-face, and I always looked down on me, but it was a coincidence that I looked down on you too."

   "The Duke Haoran and Xiang Huan of the Chengde Dynasty were the real scholars. You juniors, you are talking about a great Jin society, and the one behind your back is not for your own glory and wealth?"

   "For a few aspects, you dare to conspire to dethrone the emperor. I really did it for you. One day I'm tired of being a savior. Do you want to dethrone the emperor again and sit in that position?"

   "My Southern Barbarian?"

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled coldly, and from behind Yu Linwei's waist, he took out a bright long knife and held it in his hand, and slashed it **** the wood in the cell, and said coldly, "Would you like to see what? Real barbarism?"

  Shen Kuan had already fought his way out, raised his head and said, "Come on, you will kill the prime minister now. After a hundred years, you Li Changan will definitely be reviled by future generations, digging graves and whipping corpses, and you will be left with a stench for thousands of years!"

   The left minister of the Shangshutai, because of excessive fear in his heart, is already a little hysterical at this moment.

   With saliva in his mouth, he cursed at Li Xin: "I'm waiting for the conspiracy to dethrone the emperor, you Li Xin are a saint? You rushed back from Yongzhou to the capital, maybe there is a conspiracy hidden in your heart, you..."

   He stopped speaking at this point.

  Because a long knife had been inserted into his chest, it sank a few feet, and blood spurted out of his chest. The Left Prime Minister fell to the ground, twitching on the ground, and he couldn't live as soon as he saw it.

  The Marquis of Jingan, who had just finished moving his hands, looked at Shen Kuan coldly, and put his hands into his sleeves again, his face expressionless.

   "I still can't see the situation clearly, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

   Lord Jingan snorted coldly.

   "I started killing people at the age of sixteen. Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken."

  Shen Kuan twitched on the ground for a while, then slowly stopped moving, his eyes wide open, unable to rest his eyes.

  Jing'an Houye's face was calm.

   "It's cheaper for you."

   After saying that, he looked back at the other four people and said indifferently: "Will you all cooperate with me, or do you want to be like Shen Xiang and die in the prison of Dali Temple, and then the whole family, young and old, disciples, all die because of him?"

Yan Shouzhuo was much calmer than Shen Kuan, but seeing Shen Kuan die in front of him with his own eyes, this Yan Sikong couldn't hold on anymore. He glanced at Li Xin with some fear, and after swallowing, the voice Some trembling.

   "Li... Mrs. Li, you killed the auxiliaries ordered by the late emperor..."

"so what?"

Li Xin sat back on the chair and said coldly, "I came back to the capital to do this, you are just bullying Your Majesty's cowardice and not daring to kill, now I can take the blame for the murder on my own head. "Yan Sikong thinks that the laws of the imperial court can fall on my head?"

   Yan Shouzhuo clenched his teeth, trembling slightly all over his body.

   After a long time, he said in a trembling voice, "Li… Taifu, I will not wait for this to end."

  Li Xin waved his hand behind him and said, "Get some pen and paper for Yan Sikong and the three prime ministers."

   The cell in Dali Temple is a luxurious one. There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the cell. Soon a few Yulin guards handed the pen and paper to the cells of several people.

   "Write now."

   Li Xin sat back in his chair, expressionless: "Although you are all dead, as long as you explain your partisans, this official can make the decision and let your families live and let them go to northern Xinjiang to join the army."

   "If you don't cooperate, Shen Kuan will be your fate."

  Jing'an Houye's voice was cold.

   "The Shen family will be beheaded by the whole family, and none of Shen Kuan's disciples and former officials can escape. You should be more familiar than me with the story of the melon."

  The vast majority of people who read and read have no backbone. When life and death are imminent, these people easily bow their heads.

   No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring the moment before, when the sword and axe were added, few people could persevere. Maybe Zhang Qu of the Haoran Gong and Huan Chu, the servant under the door, could, but now these few people obviously can't.

   Among these four people, some people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. They barely picked up the brush in their hands, but they were shaking so badly that they couldn't write.

   Li Xin was not in a hurry, and asked Yu Linwei to clean up Shen Kuan's body, while he himself sat on the chair and closed his eyes, waiting quietly.

   It was almost noon, Yan Shouzhuo finally stopped writing. Among the four people, everyone wrote a long list, and the least one had more than 20 names.

   There are both Beijing officials and local officials.

  Li Xin asked people to collect all the four lists, put them into his sleeves without looking at them, then looked at the four people with no expression, and said coldly, "Now start writing a confession letter."

   Yan Sikong gritted his teeth and looked at Li Xin.

   "What confession letter does Mrs. Li want us to write?"

   "Of course it is to make friends, conspiracy to abolish the emperor, hide evil intentions, and plot evil!"

   "And then there are your previous crimes, all written on paper."

  The Marquis of Jing An half-squinted his eyes and smiled without emotion.

   "Of course, it's up to you to write it or not."
