Of course, what shocked the empress was not this, but that this man's methods were too cold-blooded and cruel, and he could be called a cruel official.
During the hundreds of years that the empress had been on the throne, in order to win over the people, the methods she used were mainly gentle.
During this period, the empress ordered the beheading of only a handful of officials, and most of them were removed from their posts and exiled.
This time, Wu Zhongxian beheaded seventy or eighty families of officials at once, and thousands of people were implicated. This method of doing things was what surprised her the most.
"Did you do these things?"
The minister listed these crimes and immediately accused Wu Zhongxian, just to make Wu Zhongxian admit what he had done.
Of course, this thing was indeed done by Wu Zhongxian. Everyone saw it with their own eyes and knew the cause and effect of this thing.
Now these officials are brought out, just to let Wu Zhongxian recognize him on the spot, so that they can take the opportunity to attack.
Bai Feng on the side also frowned at this time, as if he was aware of the situation behind Wu Zhongxian.
He stood up immediately and said to the empress respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there is a reason for this. Mr. Wu is not to blame at all. I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly!"
After saying that, Bai Feng winked at Wu Zhongxian, asking Wu Zhongxian to follow his own pace and reduce the number of ministers' problems.
Although what Wu Zhongxian did was not at all in line with her plan and destroyed her layout for many years, it has to be said that Wu Zhongxian is really a capable person in doing such a thing.
It gathered a lot of popular support for the empress and made the people more convinced of Da Qin.
What's more, the little tricks Wu Zhongxian showed showed that Wu Zhongxian was capable of helping them gather the scattered Da Qin into his own hands.
Such contributions and talents, in Bai Feng's opinion, were completely worth the high price they spent to save Wu Zhongxian.
"Is that so? Wu Aiqing."
The Empress and Bai Feng have worked together for many years, and they are as close as sisters. With Bai Feng's look, the Empress immediately understood what she meant.
He immediately got off the donkey along the slope and gave Wu Zhongxian a step.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. This Wu Zhongxian is completely rebellious and has no regard for the king's laws. He will deal with the officials of the Qin Dynasty at will. Where does this put you, Your Majesty? Where does it put the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty!"
Listening to the empress's words, the Yanguan officials immediately understood that the empress was planning to continue to protect Wu Zhongxian, and they all stood up to speak out. Their voices were so loud that they reached the sky.
The voices of the ministers echoed throughout the palace, and even the common people walking outside the palace heard it.
The sound was louder than during the great court meeting. When the people heard the sound, everyone showed doubts.
In their memories, it seemed that today was not the time for the court meeting, let alone the time for the court meeting. Why did the empress start the court meeting?
Everyone froze on the spot for a moment, wanting to know what big thing happened inside!
What's more, as if thinking of what Wu Zhongxian had done these days, his expression immediately became serious.
Immediately they started running around the capital to tell each other.
When Bai Feng heard this voice, he turned his head slightly and looked at the scene outside. Looking at the scene here, Bai Feng was really shocked.
The scale of the opposition this time was so huge that more than nine-tenths of the officials in the hall were occupied.
Among them were officials who were against the empress, and even more officials who were leaning toward the empress' camp.
They seemed to have made up their minds and had a tacit understanding, and were determined to take down Wu Zhongxian.
After all, in their view, officials like Wu Zhongxian who are unscrupulous and do not follow the rules of the game must step down.
Because Wu Zhongxian suddenly attacked them this time and frightened them directly. He caught them head and tail, ignored them, and beheaded them all at once without giving them a chance to appeal.
No one should be afraid of this.
Anyone who can sit in this position has an unclean butt.
This time Wu Zhongxian's butcher's knife did not fall on them, but who knows whether Wu Zhongxian's butcher's knife will fall on them next time!
They don’t dare to gamble, don’t want to gamble, and are even less willing to gamble!
After all, they haven't enjoyed enough after sitting in this position!
Instead of hoping that Wu Zhongxian's butcher's knife will not fall on him, it would be safer to kill the knife!
That's why they stood together in such a tacit understanding and pointed their finger at Wu Zhongxian.
The empress looked at the actions of the officials below, and her face was slightly stunned, but she quickly recovered, but her expression became colder, and her eyes became more stern and decisive!
Facing the accusations from many officials, Wu Zhongxian's expression remained as indifferent as ever, as if the target of their accusations was not him.
That calm and indifferent look made the secretive officials in the hall feel hatred in their hearts, making them even more determined to kill Wu Zhongxian!
Only then can their plans be carried out better.
"Your Majesty, since these officials are holding me accountable, I wonder which Qin law I have violated?"
Wu Zhongxian smiled lightly, without any panic in his expression.
"Those people were indeed beheaded by my order, but I executed them in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty. What's wrong?" Bayi Chinese Website
"And I feel that not only am I not wrong, but I have also made some merits. I have found all the great rats in the Qin Dynasty, recovered the property acquired by these corrupt officials and violated the law, and returned it to the national treasury, filling the national treasury.
It makes the national finances more abundant and can do more things!"
"To seek benefits for the people, it also opens up a blue sky for the people. Dare I say that I am worthy of the people? Do you dare?"
Wu Zhongxian walked directly in front of these officials and retorted with a righteous face. His momentum was so high that he suppressed many officials and walked straight back.
Bai Feng on the side listened to this, his face was full of admiration, and he nodded frequently.
As the founder of the Da Qin Embroidery Envoy, she has a better understanding of the officials that the people want.
All ordinary people want is a peaceful and stable environment. As long as they can survive without many bad things happening, they are extremely satisfied.
But many officials only think about their own pockets and promotions, and they don't care about the affairs of the people at all.
What Wu Zhongxian is talking about now is completely the simplest needs of the people!
The empress sitting high above heard Wu Zhongxian's words, and her eyes shone brightly.
For the empress, such an official is exactly what she needs!
