Chapter 696 The tacit understanding between monarch and ministers
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Because everyone who dared to resist Emperor Xia is already dead!
Although Emperor Xia has cultivated his moral character in recent years and has not gone on a killing spree for a long time!
But most of the family heads who can come here to "petition" have experienced the turbulent and bloody years of the founding of the Xia Dynasty, and experienced the nationwide purge!
Even the young family head will listen to the stories of those bloody years when accepting the inheritance!
The king is so angry that his blood flows down the river!
Emperor Xia, the founding emperor who succeeded in forcing the throne, waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood and stepped on countless heads to ascend to the throne!
now.
Emperor Xia stood on the dragon chariot, looking around in all directions, as if recalling the past. His domineering aura became stronger and stronger, and the bloody aura contained in his eagle eyes became stronger and stronger!
This time, the family heads dared to unite to show his face. Could it be that they felt that the emperor's sword was not sharp anymore?
Could it be that he really didn't dare to kill someone?
Must beat!
Xiao Jiu also saw his thoughts, so he always insisted on punishing these family heads according to law!
What a clever little guy!
"Shut up, everyone, go to the Imperial City Prison to reflect, and cooperate with the right minister's interrogation!"
Having said this, Emperor Xia's eyes were full of coldness: "If you don't cooperate, don't blame your right minister for being unkind!"
"Although you were deceived this time, you dared to frame and slander the right prime minister of the imperial court. You are really bold and do not take the imperial court and the right prime minister in your eyes!"
"Go to jail!"
"All officers and men obey the order. If they cry and beg again and do not cooperate, they will be treated as resisting. Those who make a sound will have their tongues cut out, and those who dare to move will be chopped directly!"
"yes!"
The Imperial Guards drew out their knives, and the cold light chilled the hearts of all the family heads. They closed their mouths tightly and did not dare to speak again. They were taken away obediently!
This is the first time that the people of the imperial capital have seen the emperor angry!
It is so overbearing that it turns the arrogant family heads into little sheeps!
in the crowd.
A pair of old eyes were staring at Emperor Xia, murmuring: "This is what a real man should be like!"
"Xia Zhou is as domineering as ever!"
"However, after thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, it's time for the country to change its owner!"
Then, he decisively turned around and sent a message to the people around him: "Xiao Bai, let's go!"
"If we don't leave, we'll probably be in big trouble!"
Xiaobai, who was disguised as a man, took a deep look at Xia Tian, turned away with nostalgia in his eyes, and said back: "Yes!"
"Master, is the confrontation between King Huangzhou and Sima Jian an act?"
"Yes and no!"
A flash of light flashed in Xiaobai's eyes: "Then who is behind Sima Yu?"
"We don't know, let alone them!"
"The initiator of this matter is hidden so deep that they can't find it!"
"Our plan is about to be realized. We must not allow any extraneous problems. Find this person as soon as possible. We must not let him ruin our plan!"
"yes!"
Xiaobai took the order: "Will the emperor force this matter on us?"
"meeting!"
The reborn leader sped up: "Let's go"
“Just wait and see what happens!”
"yes!"
The two of them entered an alley while transmitting messages and disappeared without a trace!
At this time.
Several blood slave masters appeared at the entrance of the alley. A master of the blood slave army asked: "Have we been discovered?"
"yes!"
Another blood slave army master nodded: "No need to chase!"
"You can't catch up even if you chase me!"
"Go back and tell Xueyi that people from the Rebirth Sect entered the city. It is very likely that they did this!"
"yes!"
The blood slave army disappeared!
After a while.
White Tiger appeared gracefully at the entrance of the alley, looking at the mark left by Xiao Bai on the ground, it disappeared without a trace!
That girl is safe, so the prince doesn’t have to worry!
the other side.
By this time, all the family heads had been taken away.
Emperor Xia then said to the court officials who were kneeling on the ground: "My dear friends, there is no need to beg for mercy!"
"The people of the imperial capital are looking at you. If I don't act according to the law because of your request, what will they think?"
"Everyone get up!"
"According to the order!"
Fortunately, all the ministers got up from the ground. All of them looked ugly, but they didn't dare to say anything anymore.
At this time.
Sima Jian moved to Xia Tian and stood side by side with him. Waiting for Sima Yu to be escorted, he whispered: "My lord, how do you feel when I help you take the blame?"
"Hehehe"
Xia Tian smiled faintly and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo!"
The emperor pricked up his ears as the dragon ascended.
He is half a land god. Even if Xia Tian and Sima Jian lower their voices, they can't escape the emperor's ears.
Sima Jian no longer took up the topic: "Now, your Majesty, according to your wishes, has arrested all the heads of the imperial families, wealthy families, tyrants, and wealthy families into the Imperial City Prison. What will you do?"
Xia Tian smiled!
Facing the sunshine, he smiled meaningfully: "It's not about what I want to do, but whether the family heads can sincerely atone for their sins!"
"If there is sincerity, then the price of food in the Imperial City can return to a low level, allowing ordinary people in the Imperial City to continue to survive, and countless families in the Imperial City will not die for food!"
"If the family heads can correct their mistakes and want to atone for their sins, then the refugees in the Imperial City can be properly accommodated and have enough food for the winter, so that the Prime Minister will not see corpses all over the street when he wakes up in the morning, and the refugees in the Imperial City will not be The shadow of death is hanging over them, then they will be able to go home and reunite soon!"
"When they return home, they will hang a plaque that says - Home of Good Deeds!"
The dragon came forward and the emperor smiled!
It wouldn't be in vain for him to have a falling out with the family heads!
Sima Jian gave Xia Tian a deep look: "From now on, they will hate you!"
"There will be endless troubles for you!"
"Hehehe"
Xia Tian chuckled again: "If you don't make people jealous, you are mediocre!"
"A Prime Minister You who is not hated by others is a good man. The current imperial court does not need Prime Minister You to be a good man. Instead, it needs Prime Minister You to hold a knife and collect wealth for the capital and bring the empire's finances back from the brink of collapse!"
Emperor Xia’s eyes brightened!
If you don’t make people jealous, you are a mediocre person!
It was because there were so many good people in the imperial court that the imperial court of Great Xia lost its bloody spirit and the official spirit of Great Xia that dared to be serious!
Sima Jian's eyes also lit up: "Right Prime Minister, if you do this, you will put yourself in danger."
Xia Tian proudly said: "I once made an oath to serve the world."
The veins in Emperor Xia's forehead started to throb again!
Sima Jian's mouth twitched: "Stop!"
"People are coming!"
At this time.
The master of the Ministry of Punishment brought Sima Yu like a gust of wind: "I have seen the right prime minister and brought the prisoner Sima Yu!"
Xia Tian looked at the pale young man in front of him: "Say it!"
"How did the Left Prime Minister instruct you to collude with the family heads and frame the truth?"
"As long as you say it, you will be punished and have meritorious service, and you will not die!"
