Chapter 2 Elimination of Aliens in the King's Hall
In the main hall, Puyang Longlie sat high on the dragon chair, holding a teacup, smelling the scent of tea, taking a sip, and immediately stared at the chrysanthemum tea in the jade cup, narrowed his eyes slightly, and put down the jade cup on the table.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wang Quan who stood aside and nodded!
With his usual calm voice, no hint of joy or anger could be heard, "Don't all the ministers have anything to play for?"
No matter how the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother control the power, in fact, the real power of the dynasty is already in his hands. He just feels bored, and dealing with the courtiers is a good pastime!
It's been a while since the last court meeting, and apart from a deafening greeting, no one said anything. Is this really strange?
All the civil and military officials were slightly crouched. The young emperor's methods made them very cautious and did not dare to make a wrong step. The prime minister is the best example!
His handsome face was slightly downcast, his thin lips were slightly parted, and the shallow arc outlined revealed a smile that made people fearful. He turned his eyes slightly, glanced to one side, and casually called out: "Master Liu, why has no one reported to me?
What's going on with the envoy's writing? Can you tell me about it?"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. The writing of envoys from other countries should be under the jurisdiction of Mr. Yang of the Ministry of Rites. Your Majesty should ask him if you want to ask. Why did you ask about the Ministry of War? His Majesty's words have a profound meaning.
How can he answer it? Is it not?
Master Liu's small movements could not escape the emperor's sharp phoenix eyes. Puyang Longlie remained silent. Master Liu had no choice but to walk out of the row of ministers, bowed his head and said: "Reporting to your majesty, at the banquet last night, I and Yu Zeguo
The envoys talked about it and heard that on their way to the dynasty, they heard that the emperor and empress had caused thousands of birds to stamp their feet and stop in the wind at the sacrifice ceremonies of the past emperors. They were curious. So the envoy from Yuze Kingdom got up early this morning
Then I sent an invitation letter, asking Your Majesty and the Empress to attend the Bamboo Maple Hunting Conference to be held in Yuze Kingdom ten days later!" After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve.
Immediately, a young palace official came down from the palace stage, took the letter from Mr. Liu with both hands, and quickly stepped onto the palace stage. He respectfully handed it to the royal authority with both hands. The royal authority took it and nodded respectfully and handed it to the man who was overlooking the world!
Puyang Longlie took the book without opening it, but put it on the imperial platform. He half-closed his eyes and picked up the jade cup again. He moved the rim of the cup lightly with his fingertips and did not taste it. His whole body exuded a frightening and terrifying aura.
.
At this time, someone immediately came out of the line of ministers and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. Please forgive me." The person kneeling was Mr. Yang, the Minister of Rites.
"Oh..." He trailed off, seemingly carelessly, and continued: "Mr. Yang, what mistake did you make that you want me to punish you for?"
"I deserve to die. I was negligent and accidentally burned the envoy's writings. Please forgive me!" He kowtowed repeatedly, sweating profusely.
If the writing was destroyed, could it be suspected of contempt for other countries? If the envoys of other countries learned about it, and then spread it and used it by interested people, thus destroying the peace and friendship of several countries, would Mr. Yang become a sinner for the ages? All civil and military officials could not help but
I took a breath of cold air, all because Master Yang was sweating.
"The writing was burned? Mr. Yang, tell me, what should I do?" He raised the corners of his lips coldly and whispered.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. The blame for all crimes lies with my dereliction of duty. I am willing to be punished!" Mr. Yang squeaked and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang is also considered a veteran of the three dynasties. He has always served the dynasty loyally. He has no merit but hard work. Please think again, your Majesty!" Mr. Taifu stood up from the ranks of ministers and bowed to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, this matter should serve as a lesson. Don't break the laws of the dynasty by showing extra favor for other reasons. Your Majesty is wise!" Mr. Liu advised.
Puyang Long Lie pretended to think hard and said, "According to Mr. Liu, how should Mr. Yang be punished in order to comply with the laws of the dynasty?" Without waiting for Mr. Liu's reply, he continued: "By the way, Mr. Liu, privately
When did receiving invitations from envoys from other countries become the responsibility of the Ministry of War? Why don’t I remember that I have this division of labor? Can you please explain it to me?"
There was a 'plop' sound, and Mr. Liu instantly knelt on the ground, "I deserve to die, your majesty, please forgive me!"
"Master Liu, you really deserve to die!" There was a coldness in his words. You didn't need to look to see that he was unhappy at this time. Such a warm court instantly felt as cold as ice and snow!
"Your Majesty, please investigate clearly..." Mr. Liu was interrupted before he could finish his request.
"Chen Heng..." The voice was not loud, but extremely cold.
Chen Heng walked out of the row of ministers and said to the guard at the palace gate: "Bring him up."
Two guards dragged in a middle-aged man with wounds all over his body. Mr. Liu watched this man being thrown in front of him. When he saw the appearance of the middle-aged man clearly, he was shocked and slightly frightened!
I just heard the middle-aged man begging and kowtowing: "Your Majesty, all of this was instigated by Mr. Liu and has nothing to do with the common people. Can your Majesty, please forgive the common people's life?"
Faced with this situation, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in confusion!
"Your Majesty, I don't know this person. Please don't listen to the villain's greedy words, fall into the villain's plot, and harm the good and the good!" Mr. Liu trembled slightly and argued with reason.
Why is this man here? What's going on? Could it be that Your Majesty...
"I would like to hear who is so bold as to frame my loyal friend, tell me!" An angry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his cold and sinister eyes were directed at the middle-aged man on the ground.
The middle-aged man received the emperor's cold eyes and said with trembling fear: "Your Majesty, the common people are the servants of Mr. Liu's family. Because the common people know a few words and know some stealing and boxing skills, Mr. Liu will give them to him.
The common people give one hundred taels of silver and let the common people go to the Ministry of Rites to burn the writings brought by envoys from other countries! Your Majesty, all this really has nothing to do with the common people. Please spare the common people. There are old people above and young ones below. The common people
..."
Before he finished speaking, Puyang Long Lie waved his sleeves in displeasure and said, "Drag this person out."
The guards came in and dragged away the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man kept shouting, "His Majesty the Emperor... His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor..." The voice gradually faded away.
All civil and military officials are well aware of His Majesty's methods. The implication of dragging him out is that he will never come back!
There was silence all around, and everyone shuddered!
Puyang Long Lie glanced at everyone and said in a lazy tone, "Master Liu, I have a few letters here, let me show them to you."
After saying that, Wang Quan stepped down from the hall, took out several white-covered paper letters from his sleeves, and threw them in front of Mr. Liu.
There are two words "Secret Letter" written in big letters on the paper, but its content is unknown!
Puyang Long Lie smiled coldly on his handsome face. He was very satisfied with the slightly twisted expressions of the civil and military officials at this moment. He had a calculation in his heart and asked calmly: "Master Liu, do you have anything else to say?"
When Mr. Liu saw those letters, he was so frightened that his whole body collapsed and he lay on the ground unable to get up. His throat was so congested that he couldn't utter a single word from the fright.
Looking at the man lying paralyzed on the ground with hair and hair, Puyang Longlie said with a smile: "I gave Mr. Liu the opportunity to appeal. Mr. Liu didn't cherish it, but don't blame me for following the law!" Suddenly the conversation changed, with a thin tone.
Angry, "According to my decree, Liu Minghui collaborated with the enemy and judged the country, took bribes, burned documents, and framed Zhongliang. The evidence is conclusive. From now on, the entire clan will be enfeoffed, their property will be confiscated, and the entire clan will be demoted to common people! Liu Mingquan will be stripped of his position as Minister of War, and will be punished."
Enter the heavenly prison and be beheaded in public tomorrow! Do you have any objections to this?"
Of course, the last sentence was just a casual question from Puyang Long Lie. He knew the answer below without even using it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" All the civil and military officials leaned over and replied.
When Mr. Liu heard this, his trouser legs were already wet, his eyes turned white, and he fainted on the ground!
