Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Five: In Power

Of the more than two thousand people, no one survived.

After many years, the tragedy of the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened again.

After killing them, burn them on the spot.

Looking at the crowd of more than two thousand people, Zhao Yuan frowned and murmured: "You are all forcing me, I just want to be a benevolent king, I don't want to be a foolish king!"

The deaths of more than a hundred officials left many official positions vacant.

At this time, King Zhuge Dan of Yan found the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother thought about it again and again, and prepared to tell the emperor about this matter when she went to court.

As for why she refused to talk about this matter in the audience, it was because she knew that according to her son's nature, he would not be willing to do so.

As a mother, after experiencing the impact of the Xuanwu Gate incident, she probably knows what kind of country her son wants.

What he wants is that there will be no corrupt officials in this world, and there will be no distinction between aristocratic families and poor families.

How do you say something?

There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter the poor people all over the world and make them happy.

The morning after the Xuanwumen Incident began.

After Zhao Yuan was the first to enter the palace, the Queen Mother also came.

He frowned and didn't understand why the Queen Mother came.

But he knew that the person who came was not good.

"Dear ladies, please get up." Zhao Yuan said expressionlessly.

Chengde Hall looks a little empty today.

The remaining civil and military ministers were either a few clear figures or members of the Queen Mother's party. The remaining military group had already begun to be convinced of Zhao Yuan.

"Right now, the army of the King of Tang is still fighting against the armies of the four states on the border of Liangzhou. I have already written to the King of Tang to return to Yunzhou. As for the armies of the four states, I have also sent suitable people to rectify them. I believe

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Now the common people all over the world are asking me for an explanation. I have already asked more than a hundred civil and military officials in front of Xuanwu Gate to plead guilty and be executed. When you retreat from the court later, you will see their confessions. Among them,

Also includes Xiao Xuanwu’s.

He has been the prime minister for so many years. He has used nepotism, disregarded people's lives, ignored the laws of the country, and attempted to depose the emperor. It is really angry and resentful. However, I remember that he is a veteran of the three dynasties and do not want to use severe punishment on him, so I imprisoned him in my palace.

Retirement among them.

Regarding this matter, after the dispersion of the dynasty, we will inform the world as quickly as possible."

Before the ministers could speak, Zhao Yuan had already started his long speech,

"As for the hundreds of officials who died in front of Xuanwu Gate, they brought it upon themselves. I didn't want to kill them, but they united with their family members to force the palace, and wanted to get close to me and then kill me. Therefore, my arm was injured.

, their act of killing the emperor is too numerous to describe, so I had no choice but to capture them all.

But I was one step late. It was just one step away from my army, and my army would not shoot them with arrows. However, their death is a good thing for the country, so I... After thinking about it, I still

It was decided to bury them generously and prepare to dig a big pit outside the capital to bury these more than a hundred officials."

After he finished speaking, his eyes slowly drifted over each minister.

The ministers standing in the hall were all frightened.

This new emperor is not only domineering, but also extremely shameless.

Um...

Strictly speaking, he is no longer the new emperor.

"More than a hundred officials have died, so the vacancies will naturally have to be filled. I have a list in my hand. Take a look at it. If you have no objections, let's let it be decided."

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Ye handed the list he held in his hands to the minister to pass it on and read it.

Among them, there were many low-ranking officials who felt happy when they saw their names on the list.

But, can I take office?

You know, even if the Xiao Party is destroyed, the family is still there.

Can they pass up this opportunity?

Some people wanted to jump out and speak, but Zhao Yuan told them to calm down.

He looked at the officials and said: "You guys, don't object in a hurry. I have your leverage. If you object, you are forcing me. If you force me, you are forcing me to marry you. The nature will be different then. I am new

Let’s settle old scores together. Of course, I don’t want you to die, but the soldiers under my command are not very obedient.”

this...

Who dares to object?

Just when the ministers were about to speak out the emperor's wisdom, the restless Queen Mother spoke, "Your Majesty, I also have several candidates who are worthy of important posts. I hope that your Majesty can put them to good use."

Zhao Yuan chuckled lightly and said: "Mother, the Supreme Emperor once said that the harem must not interfere with politics."

This sentence left Zhuge Linglong speechless.

She didn't know what to say.

She just wants to be a good mother now.

I hope the mother-son relationship can be saved.

At this time, King Zhuge Dan of Yan jumped out and spoke, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's supervision of the country was permitted by the late Emperor. Now, you have just taken over the power. There are many things in the court that you are not familiar with and need the Queen Mother's help."

help."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers cast admiring glances at him.

As expected of a prince, he is really awesome.

At this time, you still dare to talk about this kind of thing and risk your life?

Even the Queen Mother thought Zhuge Dan was so stupid.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is no longer what he used to be. Do you still think that Your Majesty is the same person who can compromise?

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhuge Dan and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you became an official at the age of twenty-five, and you were made king by me at the age of thirty, and then you paid homage to me, right?"

When you said it, you reminded me. You have never been a prince before, how can you do a good job as a prince? I decided to take back your throne. By the way, when you first became right minister, you should not be familiar with how to do it.

Handling government affairs, right?

Thinking about it this way, it is true that I asked you to directly become the right minister, which is really irresponsible to the people of the world. So, from today on, you should first give up the position of right minister.

When I have a suitable official position, I will consider it at my discretion and you will be the one to take it."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.

The ministers were discussing incessantly.

Zhuge Dan was a little confused.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, King Yan has served as the right prime minister for many years. Although he has no great achievements, he has no faults. Why should your Majesty do this?"

Zhao Yuan snorted coldly: "As far as I am concerned, when the new dynasty takes power, no merit is nothing but fault."

What else did the Queen Mother want to say? She must keep Zhuge Dan's position no matter what.

However, Zhao Yuan did not give her this opportunity at all, and blurted out directly: "Zhuge Dan! I am asking you! What I just said is an imperial edict! Will you accept this edict or not?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiuding came from outside the palace.

There is a strong urge to kill anyone who disobeys.
Chapter completed!
