The failure of a foolish king does not mean that the entire royal family has lost their hearts.

Emperor Taizu Gao, who was a commoner in Huaiyou, had no suspicion of relying on authority; he was fighting violence for the people and had no intention of foreshadowing divine weapons.

There is no better way to achieve the justice of the country.

If Yang Qingyuan wants to usurp the throne, not to mention those who follow him, not even the neutral faction, including Cao Xueyang and others who are following him to kill Zhu Zhankun, will oppose him.

A detailed list of those who succeeded in usurping the throne in the history books, from Wang Mang to Cao Pi, from Sima Yan to Liu Yu, from Yang Jian to Zhao Kuangyin, either relied on their fathers, generations of family planning, or their own years of management.

Only in troubled times like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can one have strong soldiers and strong horses, and a person who can separate one side can claim the title of emperor.

And how old is Yang Qingyuan!?

Counting from the time he entered the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, it has been ten years now, five of which were spent in the Hanlin Academy.

And he was actually in charge of the army for less than two years. The generals in the army just respected his ability and obeyed his authority.

The aggressive ministers followed Song Wenyan, the new champion, through the hall to the entrance of Hanyuan Hall, and stopped a few feet in front of Yang Qingyuan.

With Song Wenyan and other direct ministers standing in front of them, even some fishermen in troubled waters were confident.

"Yang Ni", "thief", "rebel", all the officials shouted angrily.

If they hadn't known that Yang Qingyuan was the best master in the world, these officials might have rushed forward and devoured his flesh.

Amid the roars of the crowd, Yang Qingyuan stood quietly.

Chen Jinru, who had just been hiding behind Song Wenyan, stood up again and said, "Yang Qingyuan, you traitor, you raised an army in the dark night, attacked the imperial city, and murdered the emperor. It is really a heinous crime. Today, Chen

Even if you risk your life, I still want you to give an explanation to the world."

Chen Jinru's words were righteous and serious.

Under his leadership, the officials also responded one after another.

"Yes, this thief must be severely punished."

"Give the world an explanation!"

The ministers echoed loudly, causing a wave of noise that echoed in Hanyuan Hall.

This is probably what a thousand people mean!

However, their behavior also showed their powerlessness at the moment.

Facing Yang Qingyuan, a "sycophant" who launched an army to kill the king, they could only denounce him with angry curses.

But if talking can kill people, what's the use of swords?

Of course Yang Qingyuan will give an explanation to the world, but it is definitely not the explanation that these people in front of him want.

If Yang Qingyuan could be made to hand over his military power and commit suicide to apologize by scolding him, what kind of standing army would Zhou establish? Just let these civil servants scold Beiqian and Houjin to death.

Yang Qingyuan looked at the civil servants who were getting more and more excited and thought they could spray him to death. But his heart became calmer and calmer!

He knew that these people were at the end of their rope and all they had left was this mouth.

Yang Qingyuan is not a reckless man. Most of the time he likes to make decisions before taking action.

Before raising troops, Yang Qingyuan had deduce the subsequent political situation.

Breaking the Daming Palace and killing Zhu Zhankun is a vicious event that may not have happened in thousands of years.

And it was not a secret assassination or murder, but an open and honest attack on the imperial city, killing them with one sword in front of so many people.

This kind of incident can be traced back to Jin Taizu's killing of Gaogui Township Duke in the street.

There will inevitably be fierce backlash from the officials.

The crudest way to solve the current situation is:

kill!

The ministers Shilin only had pens in their hands, while Yang Qingyuan had a sword in his hands.

The so-called "people's hearts" and "public opinions" are composed of individuals.

When your knife is fast enough, people's hearts will be scattered and public opinion will be killed.

The most typical example is above the Blue Star, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and China was sinking.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty used its power to issue a "hair-shaving order", requiring people to shave their hair and change clothes.

This, of course, caused dissatisfaction among the people. But the barbarians didn't care about public opinion and people's hearts, and just killed them with swords.

Keep your hair but not your hair!

The struggle between the Han people and the Manchus lasted for thirty-seven years, but finally failed. Those who fell under the butcher's knife were left with mountains of bones and rivers of blood.

But in order to survive, he eventually had to shave his head and change clothes.

This is not an isolated case. There are also Korean hair-cutting orders and Japan's hair-cutting and sword-cutting orders, which are all similar.

Yang Qingyuan was finally able to kill all the opponents with the help of weapons and power.

But Yang Qingyuan's reputation is equally bad. He will be ranked alongside the likes of Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo, and Er Zhurong. Scholars will smear Yang Qingyuan on various occasions. In the next three hundred years, Yang Qingyuan will be the most famous folk drama in the world.

There is no such thing as a villain.

Even if Yang Qingyuan doesn't care about this, he can't do this!

First, his bottom line makes him unwilling to kill so many innocent people. He can kill mountains of corpses on the battlefield, but he cannot wield the butcher knife against so many people who do not deserve to die.

Secondly, his purpose in raising troops was not to seize power.

It is to repay justice to Yanyi and to establish a new political order.

A coup is a means, not an end.

His purpose was to take Da Zhou forward.

…

Faced with the aggressiveness of Chen Jinru, the censor of Youqian City, and Chen Wenting, minister of punishment, Yang Qingyuan just asked in a calm tone, "What explanation do you want?"

Yang Qingyuan's rhetorical question confused Er Chen, who was originally aggressive. Although the ministers were still angry at this moment, Er Chen felt a chill down his spine.

Under the unprecedented grand occasion just now, the two of them almost forgot that the man in front of them was in charge of a 150,000-strong military force in the divine capital.

Even though Yang Qingyuan was an orthodox civil servant, he was definitely a ruthless master. How long had the bones been buried outside Jinyang City?! The grass on the graves of the army of the Later Jin Dynasty had not grown tall yet!

Maybe Yang Qingyuan couldn't kill all the officials who were making trouble, but it was definitely not impossible to kill the two leaders to scare the monkeys.

The reason why a group of people led by Chen Jinru were so proactive and kept jumping up and down was that they didn't actually care much about justice, or even about Zhu Zhankun's death. All they cared about was themselves.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They are Zhu Zhankun's cronies. Both Chen Jinru and Chen Wenting were originally staunch princelings and were promoted after Zhu Zhankun ascended the throne.

Yang Qingyuan launched a coup and launched an army to kill the emperor. At this moment, Zhu Zhankun's die-hard supporters, Cao Shouzheng and Li Hongyi, have disappeared. Others don't know why. How can someone at Er Chen's level not know why?!

Next, the direct lineage of Li, Cao, and Zhu Zhankun will all be purged, and it will be a legitimate purge.

At least 70% of the officials in the imperial court have financial problems and cannot withstand investigation.

Chen Wenting and Chen Jinru didn't want to sit still and wait for death. They always had to struggle to the death.

But now Er Chen discovered that if they continued to cause trouble, they might not be able to wait until the court's purge time, and would be treated as chickens and killed by Yang Qingyuan now.

In fact, there are many people who think like Er Chen. Both Cao Shouzheng and Li Hongyi are like towering trees in the court, with many party members attached to them below.

A great politician once quoted a saying: If there is no party outside the party, there will be imperial ideas, and there will be no factions within the party, and all kinds of strange things will happen.

Officialdom is actually a arena of struggle among political factions.

Even though the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was relatively clear, it still could not change this situation.

Regardless of the Chang Dynasty and the Great Dynasty meetings, many officials have not even met Zhu Zhankun, the newly crowned emperor, a few times. What's more, they may have never met Zhu Zhankun in private, so they can talk about loyalty to the emperor.

Today, the biggest reason for being so intense is actually just to protect myself!

Er Chen was dumbfounded, but Song Wenyan was not. He was not a paper tiger like Er Chen. Although he was a little pedantic, he was upright and unyielding.

"Yang Qingyuan, you are an unfaithful and unfilial person! How dare you ask for an explanation for killing your Majesty? Hand over your military power, go back to your home to reflect on your mistakes, and wait for the court's decision!!"

Facts have once again proven that quitting fans and returning to dislike them is much scarier than anti-fans.

This Song Wenyan was originally a big fan of Yang Qingyuan, but now he wants to kill Yang Qingyuan.

At this time, asking Yang Qingyuan to hand over his military power, meditate on his mistakes, and wait for his consequences is tantamount to asking Yang Qingyuan to kill him at his own risk.

Although Song Wenyan's statement is politically immature, it is indeed the inner thoughts of many people.

Rebellious ministers and traitors should be found and punished by everyone.

Severely punishing regicides is a basic political demand.

Looking at Song Wenyan's sincere and fearless eyes, Yang Qingyuan knew that Song Wenyan was a gentleman although he was conservative in thinking and clumsy in politics.

"Zhu Zhankun died, although the princes came with anger, I can understand it. But I would like to ask, when the emperor unjustly killed the great scholar, where were you gentlemen?! Where is the justice of heaven?!"

Yang Qingyuan's question made the more than a hundred officials who were questioning him angrily in Hanyuan Hall become slightly quiet, and the momentum that was originally boiling also stagnated slightly.

Among the people who spoke out for Yu Yanyi at that time were the Youdu Censor who was standing in the palace with his eyelids drooping, Cheng Qingsong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Weiguang, the Zuodu Censor who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and Zuo Qiandu Censor who assisted Yang Qingyuan in his rebellion.
