"Where is Lin Ran?"

The Queen Mother had been reporting the whereabouts of Jin Wu's guards since she took Jin Wu out of the palace. She felt that given her prince's love for Lu Desheng, Lu Desheng must be included in the funeral list! She had been waiting for that moment to come.

But when she heard Jin Wuwei knocking on the door of Cheng'en Palace, she suspected that she had heard wrongly, "Where did you say Lin Ran was?"

The young eunuch who replied said tremblingly, "Because of the Queen Mother, Commander Jinwu Lin Ranlin and Jinwu Guards arrived at Duke Cheng'en's house."

The Queen Mother felt dizzy. What did the emperor want to do? Who did he want to kill?

"Immediately set up a royal palace for the Ai family! Hurry!"

Unexpectedly, the empress dowager's attendant hurriedly arrived at Yuqian Palace, and was about to go to Emperor Kangcheng's palace when he was stopped by Wei Zili.

The Queen Mother scolded, "How outrageous! Give the Ai family a break!"

Wei Zili was unmoved and did not get out of the way, "Empress Dowager, the emperor has said that no one will be seen."

When he said this, all the Jinwu guards guarding Yugan Palace looked towards the Queen Mother with sharp eyes.

The Queen Mother probably realized something, and she shouted inside, "Your Majesty, you can't do this, he is your uncle!"

Emperor Kang Cheng, who had just vomited blood inside, sneered. His mother knew very well. She didn't know the list of people buried with him at all. But as soon as Jin Wuwei went to Cheng'en Palace, she guessed that something was going to happen to her brother.

He also received the news from Lin Rangang. He had just come out of Xie's house at that time. According to their speed, he had just arrived at Cheng'en Palace now, right?

Cheng'en Palace

After hearing the emperor's imperial edict that he should be buried with the emperor's nephew, he hugged the pillar and cried bitterly, refusing to die generously.

Lin Ran looked at the time and decided to give one last persuasion. If he didn't listen, he would have someone take action. "Uncle Guo, please choose one, and then go on the road. Don't force us to take action, and save some dignity for yourself."

Uncle Guo hugged the pillar and cried with snot and tears, "Sister, save me, let my nephew let me go, I don't want to die yet!"

Sheng Huaixing shook his head at the side. If he had known this, why would he do it in the first place? The sentence in the edict, "I am very relieved to find an immortal to make elixirs for me," revealed the key to his misfortune.

"Do it!" Lin Ran ordered. From the moment they stepped into Cheng'en Palace, Peng Yong had already sent someone to report to the palace. If the emperor wanted to release the people, someone would have stopped them after such a long delay. Since no one has been there, Come on, the meaning is very clear.

As a result, the dignified uncle was strangled to death by Jin Wuwei.

"Let's go to the next house!"

Jin Wuwei visited three houses in just one hour. The officials and officials in Chang'an City suddenly became silent. When they learned that the emperor's uncle was taken away before his grand visit, they lost their temper and silently said in their hearts. Pray that Jinwuwei will not come to their house tonight!

You know, the ministers were still intensively discussing which prince to support as heir apparent.

You must know that when the emperor dies, they will be buried with him. They will not secretly look forward to the emperor's death. They will definitely hope that he will live a long life, no, long live.

The Zhao family watched Zhijinwu's movements with trepidation, fearing that they would come towards the Zhao family.

Yanfu

"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said that the imperial censor Yanhua was an upright person, established the dynasty with determination, took impeachment and supervision of officials as his own duty, was not afraid of the powerful, and spoke out to give advice. I am very pleased with him, and I have specially given a special gift to be buried with him! I admire this!"

Yan Hua listened numbly. Even if the emperor's edict praised him as a flower, it would not change the fact that he was going to take him away. He was going to be buried with the emperor!

"Why?"

Seeing him like this, Sheng Huaixing explained kindly, "Sir Yan, the emperor is about to have a grand event, so he cannot do without a censor."

"Then he can ask Lu Desheng to go down and accompany him!" Yan Hua shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Master Yan, be careful what you say! Now that the matter has come to this, please think more about your descendants and their families. We are not the only ones visiting the Yan family tonight." In order to let him die, Sheng Huaian had to say one more thing, "Master Yan, please

Well. We still have important things to do, so we can’t waste any more time."

When the Yan family heard what he said, they felt less sad for some reason. What happened? Yes, the Yan family was not the most unlucky. The Xue family, the Xie family and even the Cheng'en family in front of them all obeyed obediently. The Yan family

Can you still resist?

Coming out of Yan's house, Lin Ran looked at him.

"Commander, why are you looking at me like this?"

"You didn't say anything when you were at Xie's house."

Sheng Huai

Then, they visited nearly ten more families.

Sheng Huaixing finally understood that the person who wrote the edict was really a hero. For these ministers who were buried with him, those who were found guilty in the edict were counted for their crimes, and then they were sentenced to death. Those who were not guilty were praised in various ways, saying that they were very useful.

The emperor wanted to take it away, bring it underground for further reuse, and then put it to death.

After the official duties were carried out that night, he was deeply troubled by the emperor's praise. It is estimated that when the ministers heard the edict, they had the same idea: Your Majesty, please don't praise me. Can we not give up this praise? I just ask.

Immortal.

The emperor even gave death to a favorite, whose status was second only to Lu Desheng.

The reason the emperor gave for granting death was that he wanted someone caring.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue for the favored minister. The other party said directly, they are all favorites, why should you treat them differently, Your Majesty?

The commander told him that it was actually the emperor who hated him for being loose-mouthed and secretly revealing the things around him.

Each time they complete one, they check it off on the list and move on to the next one.

That night in Chang'an City, they killed many people.

Later, someone counted the ministers who were buried with death that night and found that the ministers of their dynasty were very embarrassed. It was difficult to be the ministers of Emperor Kang Cheng. If they were too bad, they would be taken away. If they were too good, they would be taken away.

will also be taken away.

In Yuqian Palace, Emperor Kangcheng stayed up all night. He counted the ministers who had been dealt with: Xue Huaimin, the Secretary of the Central Committee, Xie Mingtang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, and others, Peng Yong, the uncle of the country, Yanhua, the censor, Chen Bingguang, the prince's tutor, and Liu Shujie, his favorite minister...

Just the last one left.

He has done everything he should do. If there is anything missing, he can only leave it to his descendants to solve. He sighed and thought.

This time he took action, almost treating everyone equally. Those who felt threatened would take away one or two people from each family. He just wanted to cut off some people, especially the wings of those big families, and did not want to force them to rebel and cause turmoil in the dynasty. He did not want to worry about being widowed.

, suffering from unevenness, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his approach.

Indeed, as Emperor Kang Cheng expected, those officials and officials who were patronized by Jinwu Guards that night went out to inquire and found that Emperor Kang Cheng's attack was a bit broad this time, and then they suddenly became less sad. Why?

You had a hand chopped off? I had a leg chopped off.

Your head was taken off. My stomach is gone.

Everyone has suffered losses? Then it’s okay, everyone can still be alive and recover slowly.

Only Xie Zhan, after listening to the replies from his confidants, guessed the emperor's intention. Those ministers who were buried with him also knew very well and thought that the praise in the edict was true praise, and that it was a real crime that should not be made public!

He couldn't help but sigh, the emperor's balance was really good.

Lu Songli also lamented Emperor Kang Cheng's imperial scheming and felt that he must be awarded a Duan Shui Master as a lifetime achievement award to be worthy of his skill.

In Yuqian Palace, Emperor Kang Cheng put down the list in his hand and slowly stretched out his hand to Wei Zili who was standing aside, "Bring it here."

"Your Majesty, do you really want it?" Wei Zili's eyes were filled with tears.

"Um."

Emperor Kang Cheng looked at the nine pills in his hand, then drank them, lay back on the dragon bed, and closed his eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, when the rays of the early winter sun broke through the clouds and mist, the dragon bell rang through Chang'an City: Dang-dang-dang...

Almost everyone in Chang'an City had experienced a thrilling night. At this moment, everyone felt what a coincidence when they heard the bells ringing.
