Chapter 750 The emperor’s mind is very complicated
"Why"
"But I remember that for the sake of your efforts for the court and your loyalty to me, I have been tolerant to you again and again and have no care!"
"It's just that I never thought that you would mistake my tolerance for connivance and become more and more unbridled. Now you no longer take the laws of the Great Xia Empire into consideration, and you dare to secretly collude to embezzle money and food from the national treasury and put money and food belonging to the people of the world into He lost his own warehouse and left the court with no money and food to use. It is really "
Having said this, Emperor Xia raised his eyelids and said angrily: "You are really bastards!"
"Plop"
Sima Jian stood up and led all the important officials in the court to kneel down in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"boom"
The heads of the families also quickly stood up and knelt down, saying with cold sweat on their heads: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Calm down?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Emperor Xia was furious: "You are so greedy, how can I calm down?"
"talk?"
The family heads have nothing to say!
Emperor Xia was even more angry: "When I raised the army, I said that as long as Daxia is established, I will share the world with you. This is what I said and what I did. After the founding of Daxia, as long as your descendants have talent, I will share the world with you." Allowing them to serve as officials in the court will give them countless rewards, fulfilling my original promise!"
"right!"
The heads of the families lay on the ground and trembled in response!
"Have I ever killed any hero?"
"talk!"
"No!"
Emperor Xia looked at the kneeling family heads and said with a look of hatred on his face: "You also said that you would help me create a prosperous Xia Dynasty and that you would help me govern the world. Have you done it now?"
"talk!"
"Never!"
"We are guilty!"
"snort"
Emperor Xia said coldly: "You are guilty. There has been a natural disaster this year and refugees are everywhere. Not only have you not provided relief, you have also embezzled my money and food for disaster relief and emptied the treasury. It is really annoying, hateful and worthy of death!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The heads of the families were frightened!
Does the emperor really want to go on a killing spree?
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The heads of the families buried their heads on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads!
"boom"
The emperor slapped his hands on the armrests of the dragon chair, his eyes filled with anger: "You are forcing me to raid your home and destroy your clan!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
There was a cry in the voices of the family heads: "Your Majesty is wise, I made the mistake of waiting!"
"I was wrong!"
"Why"
I heard Emperor Xia sigh bitterly: "I was also wrong!"
"My fault was that I was too tolerant of you, my fault was that I failed to observe your actions, and my fault was that I missed your good things too much!"
With one word of tolerance, one word of oversight, and one word of good intentions, the emperor not only shied away all responsibility for the depletion of money and food from the treasury, but also established a good character as a benevolent monarch!
He has extraordinary wisdom, but it is a pity that he has used it all to achieve immortality!
Watch in summer!
After Emperor Xia had passed the responsibility, he looked at Xia Xia and said: "Right Prime Minister, the money and grain lost from the treasury must be recovered. The matter should be handled in accordance with the laws of the empire!"
"In the past twenty years, I have given them the glory and wealth I should have given them, and I don't owe them anything!"
"They are so frantic in poaching corners of the empire, which makes me very angry and sad. You don't need to look at face or their previous achievements. Everything should be handled fairly!"
"According to the order!"
Listen and listen.
The hidden meaning of Emperor Xia's words was to let Xia Tian look at each family's merits and achievements, and be merciful and merciful, and not force the wealthy families to rebel!
There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Xia Tian's mouth!
It's not up to him!
"Everyone get up!"
After Emperor Xia finished shouting, he felt much better: "Let Prime Minister Right handle the next matter!"
"Prime Minister Zuo, help!"
"yes!"
Sima Jian got up with all the family heads!
At this time.
Xia Tian solemnly said: "Come here, take Mrs. Zhang, the head of the Zhang family and the six ministers into the prison of the Imperial City. They will be strictly guarded. No one is allowed to approach without the original order!"
"yes!"
The commander of the imperial army waved his hand: "Take the prisoners to the Imperial City Prison. Pay attention to the safety of the prisoners on the way. Don't let them commit suicide, and don't allow anyone to get close. If anyone dares to plot evil, kill them!"
"yes!"
The golden-armored imperial army escorted Mrs. Zhang, the head of the Zhang family and the six ministers left the Tianxia Palace!
"Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Department, listen to the order!"
"The official is here!"
"Search the residence of the Six Ministers!"
"yes!"
After a while.
The masters of the Imperial City Department rode out of the imperial city, met with the Huangzhou guards in the imperial capital, and raided the six ministers' offices!
at this time.
Xia Cai looked at the Duanmu family, the Liu family, the Liu family, the Lin family, and the Nangong family and asked: "Did you just get involved in the truth and condone the murder of the personal guards?"
"yes!"
The five masters knew that there was no reason to be unreasonable, so they said sternly: "You allow your bodyguards to enter the house to rob money and food, and kill our people, so we are going to join you!"
"very good!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Come here, present the things found by each family to His Majesty!"
"yes!"
The five Huangzhou guards opened the package and presented the letters and account books inside: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
"I'm tired!"
Emperor Xia looked tired: "Come here, bring a set of tables and chairs for Prime Minister You, so that Prime Minister You can sit in the palace to hear the assassination case and the case of missing money and food from the treasury!"
"yes!"
Not long after.
A set of tables and chairs was placed in front of the family heads. Xia Tian sat on the chair like a judge!
The heads of the families were like prisoners about to be judged. They all had gloomy faces and sat on pins and needles in their seats!
The Huangzhou guards respectfully placed the secret letter and account books on the table!
Xia Tian said calmly: "Light the incense!"
"yes!"
Immediately, a young eunuch brought the incense burner and lit the royal sandalwood, letting the fragrance spread in the hall!
Xia Tian then picked up the secret letter and read it. The more he read it, the tighter his frown became, making the hearts of all the family heads sink!
At this moment, the Tianxia Palace was so silent that it drove all the family heads crazy!
After reading the secret letter, Xia Tian picked up the account book and read half a stick of incense. It was not until the little eunuch lit the second stick of incense that he put down the last account book and said: "Duanmu family, Liu family, Liu family, Nangong family, Lin family, you His first crime was forming a clique with the Zhang family for personal gain, colluding with various families to appoint themselves as deacons, claiming arrogance in vain, and conspiring to rebel!"
Damn it!
The faces of all the family heads changed drastically!
This hat must be big enough to hold their corpses: "What an injustice!"
Xia Tian continued: "The second crime is that you colluded with the Minister of Household Affairs to resell the state treasury grain, colluded with the military officials who purchased military supplies, passed them off as substandard goods, added sand to the military rations, and sold all kinds of moldy food into the army as military supplies. In order to gain personal gain!"
Xia Tian picked up the secret letter: "This is the evidence that you colluded with the generals of the army!"
Then, he picked up the account book again: "All the profits you have made are recorded in this account book, and the evidence is conclusive!"
"If the truth is correct, the reason why you recorded it in such detail is to share the stolen goods with the lieutenant general of the army, right?"
The five masters firmly denied it: "These letters and account books are not ours!"
"Someone must be setting us up!"
"Who knows if these letters and account books are forgeries and cannot be used as evidence!"
"Yeah?"
Xia Tian smiled coldly: "Bring the witnesses here!"
"yes!"
Suddenly.
All the important ministers and family heads of the court turned their attention to who the witness would be outside the palace.
