What's more, Wu Zhongxian is seeking his own death and dares to threaten all officials by himself.
Even the empress would not dare to do such a thing, let alone use such drastic measures, and could only use gentle methods.
"My dear friends, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
The empress looked ugly at this time. These officials were trying to force her to have a baby.
If this is not handled well, she will feel uncomfortable later.
"I implore your Majesty to severely punish the murderer and restore the innocence of the Qin Dynasty. If your Majesty insists on going his own way, I will not be able to stop your Majesty's thoughts, so I can only resign and go into seclusion in the countryside!"
When an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs saw that the empress still wanted to make peace with Xini, he immediately stood up and said with a serious face.
It seems that the fault is not theirs now, but the empress.
"Where are you?"
The empress ignored the words of the household official, but turned her head to look at the various aristocratic families, as well as first-rank ministers and so on.
For the empress, the thoughts of the left and right ministers, ministers and other officials are the most important.
These people seem to have absolutely no connection with the people below, as if they are just ministers to others, but in fact these people include 95% of the officials.
Seeing the empress looking over here, Right Minister Changqing stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, the laws of the Qin Dynasty cannot be violated. This is the reason why the Qin Dynasty has always been able to stand on the mainland and become the most powerful empire."
"I just want the laws of the Qin Dynasty to govern the Qin Dynasty, and cannot let a destroyer destroy the laws of the Qin Dynasty. This will damage the prestige of the Qin Dynasty. Rather than continue to waste it, it is better to let the laws of the Qin Dynasty govern the Qin Dynasty."
Make a decision."
"Didn't Mr. Wu keep saying that everything he did was in accordance with the laws of Great Qin and there were no violations? Isn't the reason why all my colleagues are unconvinced now because Mr. Wu is destroying the environment of Great Qin?
"
"To sum up, I propose that your Majesty come for a review and sentence according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty. In this case, everyone will have no objections, how about it?"
Si Changqing took everything into account.
In addition, even the empress was powerless at this time and could only follow the minister's lead.
But as soon as Si Changqing's words came out, the road ahead became clear.
Wu Zhongxian turned around and gave Si Changqing a like.
He had planned to do this before. According to the empress's previous performance, there really wasn't much that could be done with these officials who were huddled together.
Therefore, he had always been prepared, and when he spoke, he emphasized that he was doing it in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
Just to lay the groundwork for now.
But what he didn't expect was that Si Changqing thought of this so quickly.
This is really good news for him.
"Do you think the right minister's method is feasible?"
The empress did not have this method to completely solve the problem, so she gave up asking the following questions and asked around.
"I await your order!"
After listening to the empress' words, many officials looked at each other, nodded, and agreed.
If you don't agree now, you will have to face the siege from the empress and Wu Zhongxian and others.
There is absolutely no benefit at all.
What's more, if he did these things, the outcome of Wu Zhongxian's death or not is still unknown.
But if you lose the debate, whoever comes after you will definitely die!
After all, it was done in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty. If Wu Zhongxian still did not accept the punishment according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, then the Qin Dynasty would have lost its credibility.
"Wu Aiqing, what about you?"
After questioning the ministers, the empress began to question Wu Zhongxian.
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and have no other ideas. I accept Your Majesty's arrangement!"
Wu Zhongxian glanced at these people with a sneer and agreed immediately.
"But if I hadn't done anything to disgrace Da Qin, I wonder what punishment these officials would receive?"
Wu Zhongxian turned around and said with indifference on his face.
Since these people didn't intend to make it easy for him, Wu Zhongxian naturally didn't intend to make it easy for these people!
"this……"
The empress didn't know how to make a decision for a while, so she left everything to Wu Zhongxian to decide.
Of course, he didn't care about anything and stared sharply down.
Leave the arena to these people.
For the empress, things on the field have begun to become uncontrollable.
If she wants to save Wu Zhongxian, it is no longer possible. The only thing she can do is to see Wu Zhongxian's ability.
After all, all the ministers were against Wu Zhongxian.
Bai Feng here also looked at Wu Zhongxian with worried eyes.
Now she has no choice at all. The minister's power is too great, not even the empress can stop him.
In addition, Wu Zhongxian also faced off against these people, and the two sides were already fighting to the death.
"I agree to Master Wu's request!"
Seeing that Wu Zhongxian agreed, these ministers were so happy that they agreed without even thinking about it.
"My requirements are not high, that is, each official will donate silver taels in the name of His Majesty according to the size of his position, as food and grass for the people, and the money for the relief of the people will be 10,000 taels for the first-grade officials. If you go down, each household will be reduced.
How about one thousand taels?"
Wu Zhongxian was not intimidated by these people at all, but continued to work hard.
Bai Feng on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard Wu Zhongxian's words, as if she thought of something!
"Can!"
When the ministers who took the lead saw Wu Zhongxian proposing such conditions, they first looked at each other, and finally nodded.
The conditions Wu Zhongxian offered were a big deal. They immediately thought that Wu Zhongxian was not sure and was using such tactics to force them back. They had seen many such tricks.
Wu Zhongxian wanted to fight with them, but he was a bit too naive to play tricks.
Ten thousand taels of silver is quite a lot. If a first-grade official only had a salary, he would not have so much money in ten years.
Seeing these people agreeing so readily, Wu Zhongxian showed a meaningful smile on his face. There was no panic look on his face that the ministers expected to see.
"Your Majesty, I hope you can testify and settle this matter. Due to my position, I cannot believe the credibility of all officials!"
Wu Zhongxian still looked extremely calm, and said to the empress with his hands raised.
"The same goes for my ministers, the time is set within half a month!"
When the ministers saw Wu Zhongxian continuing to mess around, they immediately thought that Wu Zhongxian must be anxious and scared, and he was just pretending on the surface.
So I followed Wu Zhongxian's example and asked the empress to testify.
