Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Chapter 176: Is this how you repay me?

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

​​

A few minutes after the Minister of War and Uncle Zhang left, a **** from the Cining Palace came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to spread a message.

​​

"I have seen Your Majesty." The **** of Cining Palace walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and bowed to Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

​​

Zhou Chen looked up at the **** in Cining Palace and asked, "How is the queen mother?"

​​

"You came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see me, does the Queen Mother need anything?"

​​

Zhou Chen looked at the **** of Cining Palace seriously.

​​

When the Queen Mother was in a coma, Zhou Chen had already visited the Queen Mother once at the Cining Palace.

​​

The Queen Mother woke up from a coma just now, and Zhou Chen also received the news immediately.

​​

Originally, Zhou Chen planned to go to the Cining Palace immediately, but when he thought that the Queen Mother might not want to see him now.

​​

Zhou Chen temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​going to the Cining Palace.

​​

"Report to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is all right."

​​

"The queen mother learned that the uncle's mansion was raided, and asked the servant to send a message to her majesty."

​​

The **** of Cining Palace bowed and repeated the original words of the queen mother.

​​

After speaking, the **** lowered his head.

​​

Zhou Chen's expression didn't change much when he heard this.

​​

From the moment Zhou Chen ordered to arrest Zhang Guojie, Zhou Chen had expected that if the Queen Mother knew the news, she would definitely not be indifferent.

​​

After all, it was the Queen Mother's natal home.

​​

No one is able to see through the world and not read the old feelings of the world.

​​

"I see, you step back!"

​​

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said.

​​

The **** of Cining Palace bowed and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

​​

The word has already been reached, and the eunuch's task is considered complete.

​​

As for the result, that's not something that little people like them can worry about.

​​

After the **** of Cining Palace left, Zhou Chen sighed faintly.

​​

Now that the Queen Mother has spoken, Zhou Chen has to consider the Queen Mother's feelings.

​​

It gave the Zhang family a way to live.

​​

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

​​

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

​​

……

​​

Two days passed in a flash.

​​

In the past two days, the entire Luoyang City was in a state of turmoil.

​​

Every day, soldiers and factory guards are constantly searching for rebellion, and people are arrested every moment.

​​

In particular, court officials and honorable relatives are in danger.

​​

In just two days, no matter whether it was the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the prison of Dongchang, or the prison of the city defense, it was overcrowded.

​​

It was the morning morning that used to be every day, but it has been two days since the morning morning.

​​

However, fortunately, this state only lasted for two days.

​​

On the third day, everything was back to normal.

​​

The Golden Palace.

​​

Start early.

​​

The civil and military officials walked into the Golden Throne Hall one by one along both sides of the imperial road.

​​

Zhou Chen, who had not been to court for two days, walked out of the dedicated imperial road next to him, stepped onto the dragon platform, and sat on the dragon chair.

​​

"Meet Your Majesty."

​​

"Long live Long live Long live."

​​

After Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, Baiguan knelt down and shouted.

​​

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and looked down at the civil and military officials kneeling below, and saw that the number of officials in the hall was much less than before.

​​

However, it was still within the range that Zhou Chen could accept.

​​

This is all thanks to Du Ruhui.

​​

If it wasn't for Du Ruhui's timely filling of the vacant positions, after this clean-up, I'm afraid there would be half of them in the court hall today.

​​

But now, there are only a few civil and military officials in the court, and it will not paralyze the center of the court.

​​

Of course, there are still some influences.

​​

Important positions such as the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Household, and the Minister of Punishment have no principals, and some things will still have a considerable impact.

​​

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials kneeling below; "Long live?"

​​

"Haha, you are shouting long live, I'm afraid you all want me to die sooner!"

​​

This time, Zhou Chen didn't ask Baiguan to get up, but said with a sneer.

​​

"I don't dare to wait."

​​

Without Zhou Chen's permission, Baiguan still knelt on the ground.

​​

Dare not?

​​

"What are you afraid of?"

​​

"The prime minister of Da Zhou, the minister of households, the minister of punishment, and even the minister of work, dared to collude with the king of Shu to rebel and usurp the throne."

​​

"Even the rich and powerful families of the seven great aristocratic families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the Yuan family of Runan and the Zheng family of Rongyang, participated in it."

​​

"You said, what else is there that you court ministers dare not do?"

​​

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

​​

What?

​​

The Prime Minister and the others formed a rebellion against the King of Shu and usurped the throne?

​​

Runan's Yuan family and Rongyang's Zheng family also participated?

​​

The news exploded like a blockbuster among the hundreds of officials kneeling below.

​​

Most people did not expect that Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others actually colluded with the King of Shu to rebel and usurp the throne.

​​

No wonder, in the past two days, all officials related to Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others have been arrested.

​​

They thought something was happening before.

​​

Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others who colluded with the King of Shu to rebel and usurp the throne.

​​

Some ministers have already heard the wind, but when they heard the news again from Zhou Chen, the emperor, they couldn't hide their shock.

​​

"I really didn't expect that these important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty would actually rebel against me?"

​​

"Is it because I didn't do well enough, I'm ignorant?"

​​

"It's still because you are in high positions and have forgotten your duty as a minister, let alone your duty and original intention as an official."

​​

Zhou Chen glanced coldly at the civil and military officials kneeling below, those sharp eyes made the back of the kneeling civil and military officials feel cold for a while.

​​

"I have given you high-ranking officials and a high salary, and put you in high positions in the hope that you will be able to contribute to the great Zhou and benefit the people."

​​

"But is this how you contribute to Da Zhou and benefit the people?"

​​

"Is that how you repay me?"

​​

"Do you think I don't know about the shameful things you've done?"

​​

"How many of you have clean butts?"

​​

Zhou Chen's cold voice echoed in the hall.

​​

The civil and military officials kneeling below felt a chill in their hearts, and all of them couldn't help shivering.

​​

Even the mighty Marquis and the Minister of War are no exception.

​​

They are loyal veterans loyal to Da Zhou, but that doesn't mean their butts are clean.

​​

To put it bluntly, a loyal veteran is nothing more than the same interests and goals.

​​

As the saying goes, being an official is not for power or money, so what kind of bird official should you be?

​​

The two sleeves are clear and wind is only for the benefit of one side.

​​

There are several officials who can do this.

​​

"Liu Ye, how's the investigation done by the Ministry of Household so far?"

​​

Zhou Chen looked at Liu Ye, who was kneeling in front of Baiguan.

​​

Now that the four major ministers of the auxiliary country are gone, the six ministers are the most advanced in front of the hundreds of officials in the court.

​​

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the household inspection has basically been completed."

"In addition to the officials who were taken down before, I also checked out a lot of officials in the court."

​​

"Many officials in the courtroom committed corruption and bribery."

​​

"This is the list of officials identified by the minister, please take a look at it."

​​

When Liu Ye heard Zhou Chen's question, he immediately said loudly.

​​

After speaking, he took out a memorial and held it up high.

​​

As for the civil and military officials kneeling in the hall, their expressions changed immediately after hearing Liu Ye's words.

​​

Most of the officials' faces turned pale, and cold sweat broke out inexplicably.

​​

Some officials even shook a few times and almost fell to the ground uncontrollably.

​​

Because none of them can guarantee that Liu Ye will have their names on this list.

​​

Once Liu Ye has their names on this list, their results can be imagined.

​​

When Cao Shaoqin, who was standing beside Zhou Chen, saw this, he walked down and took the list of memorials from Liu Ye's hand, and returned it to Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

​​

Zhou Chen took the list from Cao Shaoqin's hand and glanced at the civil and military officials kneeling below.

​​

Zhou Chen didn't open it immediately, but looked at the Minister of War and Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages. "How about Li Yuan, the Eight Sages, the King of Shu, and the Prime Minister rebelling against the one-party rule?"

​​

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the rebellion of the King of Shu and the Prime Minister has been eliminated."

​​

"Some officials who were arrested confessed to the court and some officials were involved with them."

​​

"This is the result of the interrogation and the list."

​​

The Minister of War and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian both took out a memorial and held it up.

​​

Because of the vacancy of the office of Minister of Punishment.

​​

Therefore, Zhou Chen temporarily asked Zhou Xian, the king of eight sages, to supervise the punishment department.

​​

Those who were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment were all under the responsibility of the Eight Sages.

​​

Cao Shaoqin walked down again, took the memorial from the Minister of War and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian, and returned to Zhou Chen.

​​

Now, some of the officials kneeling below turned even paler.

​​

This is really life-threatening!

​​

Some of them are indeed involved with the officials who were arrested, but they did not rebel and usurp the throne!

​​

If this is bitten out, they all have to finish the game.

​​

This kind of thing would rather be killed by mistake than let go.

​​

Zhou Chen took the two memorials from Cao Shaoqin's hands again, but he still didn't open it immediately, but swept towards the civil and military officials kneeling below.

​​

"In the list of these three memorials, I believe that there should be quite a few of you in it."

​​

"As long as I open it and take a look, you should know what your fate will be."

​​

Zhou Chen shook the trifecta in his hand, and glanced coldly at the civil and military officials kneeling below.

​​

"But I don't plan to open it."

​​

"I intend to give you another chance to contribute to Da Zhou and benefit the people."

​​

Speaking of which, Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Shaoqin next to him.

​​

"Cao Shaoqin."

​​

"Go and bring up a brazier."

​​

Cao Shaoqin immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

​​

Cao Shaoqin turned and left.

​​

Within a minute, Cao Shaoqin brought a brazier in front of Zhou Chen.

​​

Without saying a word, Zhou Chen threw the three-part memorial in his hand into the brazier.

​​

Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials kneeling below all breathed a sigh of relief.

​​

Many people quietly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

​​

They were all a little scared in their hearts, afraid that their names would appear in the list of the trio.

​​

In that case, they will all be dragged out directly, and there is no need to say more about the result.

​​

Well now, His Majesty has burned the list of three-part memorials, which means that His Majesty will not pursue them any more.

​​

Then they can rest assured.

​​

After the three memorial lists were burned to ashes, Zhou Chen looked up at the civil and military officials who were kneeling below, and said, "I hope you will remember that today I burned these three-point lists, and this opportunity is given by me. Yours."

​​

"I don't ask you to be clean, but at the very least, you must be worthy of the official hat on your head and the official uniform on your body, worthy of the words 'the mirror hanging high'."

​​

"If I find out in the future that you have failed the opportunity I gave you, then I will double it back from you."

​​

Zhou Chen's majestic voice sounded in Baiguan's ears and echoed in the hall.

​​

Zhou Chen is not a saint, nor is an official who commits a serious crime and can let them go. He is an emperor who saves all beings.

​​

The reason why he directly burned the three memorial lists was because the officials on the three memorial lists were all selected through various competitions and could be used by the emperor Zhou Chen.

​​

Zhou Chen was willing to give these people a chance.

​​

As for those officials who could not be used by Zhou Chen, and those involved in the rebellion of the King of Shu who usurped the throne, they were all taken down directly.

​​

He didn't even have the chance to enter the gate of the Golden Throne Hall again.

​​

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

​​

"My minister, I understand."

​​

All the officials bowed their heads and said in unison.

​​

At this moment, whether it's true love or falsehood, at least on the surface, Baiguan's mentality was temporarily restrained by Zhou Chen.

​​

Zhou Chen looked down at the hundreds of officials kneeling below, and said again, "From now on, the King of Shu and the Prime Minister's rebellion and usurping the throne will be dealt with by the Six Ministries and will be supervised by the East Factory."

​​

"Kill those who deserve to be killed, those who are exiled will be exiled, and those who should be raided and clansmen will be raided and exterminated."

​​

"As soon as possible, get this matter sorted out for me."

​​

Although Zhou Zhi, the king of Shu, died, all the masters of the three great families were wiped out.

​​

But Prime Minister Yuan Bo and other officials involved are still alive.

​​

These people have to act according to the laws of the Great Zhou.

​​

The mastermind, the one who committed the crime, naturally plundered the family and wiped out the family.

​​

Those with lesser sins were only involved and could live, but they had to be exiled.

​​

Specifically how to convict, Zhou Chen will hand it over to the Sixth Tribunal to deal with it~www.wuxiahere.com~ I can't, these people are all cut off, kill the nine clans!

​​

"The minister obeys the order."

​​

Liu Ye, Du Ruhui, Minister of War, and Zhou Xian, King of Eight Sages, immediately took orders and said.

​​

Currently, there are only Liu Ye, Du Ruhui, and the Minister of War, among the six ministers.

​​

Zhouxian, the king of the Eight Sages, was temporarily inspected by the Punishment Department, and he was also considered one of them.

​​

Therefore, it was Liu Ye and the others who really decided to deal with this matter specifically.

​​

"Retreat."

​​

After finishing this decree, Zhou Chen immediately retreated, stood up and left.

​​

After Zhou Chen, the emperor, left, many of the civil and military officials kneeling below couldn't hold on any longer, and all of a sudden they sat softly on the ground.

​​

There were beads of sweat on their foreheads.

​​

The list of the three memorials just now scared them a lot.

​​

Until now, they all have a feeling of lingering fear in their hearts.

​​

Fortunately, the person on the dragon chair did not open the list of the three memorials.

​​

Otherwise, among these officials, I don't know how many people will be dragged out directly to raid their homes and exterminate their families.

​​

After calming down for a while.

​​

The hundred officials left the Golden Palace one by one and left the palace one by one.
