"Yes, yes, yes!" Yin Zhun nodded like pounding rice, said yes three times in a row, and said urgently, "When I was in trouble, it was Tang Aiqing who helped me and saved me. Tang Aiqing saved me.
How can I be willing to poison your dear wife if you have such great power?"
As he spoke, Yin Zhen's tears fell down, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. In the end, he almost burst into tears. I don't know whether his words could move others, but he himself was moved. In other words, this was also a move.
A kind of self-hypnosis that changes direction!
Tang Yin could only sneer in his heart. He had seen a lot of incompetent people, and Yin Zhun was one of the best. How could he be willing to kill such an emperor? It was too late to support him!
Under Yin Zhun's crying, the murderous aura emanating from Tang Yin gradually weakened. He smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you no longer have the intention to kill your ministers?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Yin Zhen's head shook like a drum.
"Then what is the purpose of His Majesty's decree to summon all the ministers to the palace late at night?"
"That imperial edict was not written by me at all! It was written by Fang Xiaoxuan himself. If Tang Aiqing doesn't believe it, you can compare it with my handwriting now!"
Finish the sentence in one breath.
Fang Xiaoxuan, who was below, had slowly sat up at this time. Although he was shaken by Tang Yin's beating, his ears could still hear the sound.
He listened to every word of Yin Zhun's words. Although he had long wanted to die, after listening to Yin Zhun's words, he still couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Tang Yin nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand, helped Yin Zhun sit on the throne, then waved his hand to pull out the steel knife nailed to the table, put it back into its sheath, and said, "I understand, what happened tonight
Everything was done by Fang Xiaoxuan, Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu, and Qin Xuan, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty."
"Yes, yes, I really didn't participate in this matter!"
"In that case, please convict Your Majesty!"
"Ah?" Yin Zhun didn't understand what Tang Yin meant. What crime should he be convicted of? Who should he be convicted of?
As Tang Yin walked down the steps, he said loudly, "Fang Xiaoxuan, Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu, and Qin Xuan not only conspired to harm this king, but also secretly killed General Ma Yuanma, the commander-in-chief, and took control of the palace."
Wei, forged the imperial edict and had evil intentions. His crimes are unforgivable and too numerous to write down. Does your Majesty think that these five thieves should not be convicted?"
Yin Zhun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "What Tang Aiqing said makes sense, oh... what crime should I convict them of?"
"Deceiving the emperor and plotting rebellion!" Tang Yin said, "Now, the four thieves Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu, and Qin Xuan have been brought to justice. Although the four thieves are dead, their crimes are so heinous that they must not be leniently spared. They will be executed as a slave.
, Exterminate the nine tribes. Tool: No ads, full text, more updates.
Yin Zhun nodded while listening. After Tang Yin finished speaking, he asked, "What about... Fang Xiaoxuan?"
Tang Yin turned around and walked out of the hall, saying without looking back, "There is a kind of punishment called Lingchi, which was used on this thief. At this time, Fang Xiaoxuan was completely despairing. When he was dragged out, he didn't scream.
He did not insult Tang Yin, nor did he plead to Yin Zhun or anyone. When he decided to do this tonight, he had already expected such a result. It was just the emperor's ruthless abandonment of him that made him feel discouraged and desperate to survive.
No thoughts at all.
Many of the ministers present shed tears, and they sincerely felt unworthy of Fang Xiaoxuan. They also wanted to be loyal to the emperor, but was such an emperor worthy of their allegiance? He was ruthless and unjust, and loyalty could not be distinguished.
The result of being loyal to the emperor is probably to follow in the footsteps of Fang Xiaoxuan and others!
Before Yin Zhun's imperial edict was issued, Fang Xiaoxuan was dragged out by Feng Jun to perform Lingchi torture. On the square outside the main hall, Feng Jun set up a shelf, hung Fang Xiaoxuan on it, and then stripped off his clothes.
The fishing net tightly wrapped his whole body, causing his skin to bulge rapidly, and then the executioner's knife cut off Fang Xiaoxuan's skin piece by piece.
There is probably no punishment more cruel than Ling Chi in the world. Every time the executioner struck a blow, Fang Xiaoxuan let out heart-rending screams. The screams spread into the hall, making Yin Zhun, who was writing the imperial edict, stunned.
Shivering, the handwriting he wrote was like a ghost drawing, crooked, and the ministers couldn't bear to listen any more. People looked at each other, kowtowed to Yin Zhun in unison, and planned to leave the palace. But as soon as they reached the entrance of the main hall, they were stopped.
The Feng Army guards who were guarding outside stopped him, and a Feng Army general who led him said coldly, "Your Majesty has an order. No one is allowed to leave the hall before Fang Xiaoxuan's execution is completed. Your lords should also take this as a lesson and reflect carefully."
!”
Upon seeing this, the ministers of the imperial court retreated back into the hall like frustrated rubber balls, knelt on the ground, and shed tears.
Lingchi torture requires thousands of cuts on the prisoner's body. If the number is not enough and the prisoner dies midway, then the person executing the execution will have to be punished. Therefore, executing Lingchi is also a technical job, and it will not end quickly. It will have to wait at least for a while.
Two hours.
The screams outside the main hall and the low sobs inside the main hall echoed one after another, forming a strange scene that was both sad and exasperating.
This time the imperial court coup ended in failure. The mastermind Fang Xiaoxuan, his accomplices Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu, and Qin Xuan were all executed. Together with them, the whole family of the five people was also spared, and they were massacred by the Feng army.
Clean. This assassination can be said to be the most dangerous one that Tang Yin has ever experienced. The highly poisonous Wuyin Broken Heart Powder almost killed him. With his character, he should have investigated deeply and dealt with all the possible consequences.
All the people who arrived were picked out and executed together. However, he did not do this. After killing Fang Xiaoxuan and others, he did not continue to investigate the matter. The main reason was that Tang Yin did not dare to pursue it anymore. If he did, he would have to
It was found on Yin Rou's head.
Although the poison was caused by Yin Rou, it was because of Fang Xiaoxuan's plot to murder Tang Yin. It ended so hastily and did not cause much commotion in Feng Kingdom. Even the people did not know that on that night,
Such a major event happened in the palace that almost changed the fate of Feng Kingdom.
However, the impact of this case is not small, and it is extremely far-reaching. Through the Fang Xiaoxuan case, the imperial ministers were greatly disappointed in Yin Zhun and completely lost their confidence. The ministers who originally lacked loyalty even more firmly stood firm.
On the other side of the Feng Kingdom, those ministers who were very loyal have resigned and returned to their hometowns, retreating from the imperial court. Now the situation that Yin Zhun faces in the imperial court is that people are alienated from their moral integrity, and everyone is betraying their relatives. He is also completely
Become a loner.
Yin Zhun didn't care about this. He didn't think anyone was loyal to him. The departure of loyal ministers one after another did not make him sad. As long as he was still the emperor, as long as he could continue to live a stable and comfortable life.
He enjoys a life where no matter who leaves, it doesn't matter to him.
Selfish, cowardly, suspicious, and confused, this is the best summary of Yin Chen. Of course, he was not born with such a personality, it was completely created by the acquired environment, and I am afraid that Tang Yin also had a part in it.
Credit'!
Shortly after this incident, Tang Yin conducted a major purge of the palace guards, completely replacing them from top to bottom. This time, he transferred 50,000 soldiers from the most stable Chifeng Army to serve as palace guards.
The Chifeng Army is stationed in the Feng Kingdom all year round. Because it does not participate in foreign campaigns, there are no casualties in the army, and the composition of its personnel is extremely fixed. Because of this, the Chifeng Army is currently the only one composed of pure wind people among the Feng Army.
The Legion's loyalty to Feng Guo and Tang Yin is undoubtedly the highest.
After purging the palace guards, Tang Yin's next goal was to purge the internal officials of Feng State. Because Feng State expanded too fast and there was a huge gap in official positions, the recruitment of officials was uneven, and only talent was valued, but no attention was paid to it.
loyalty.
Through Fang Xiaoxuan's incident, Tang Yin made up his mind to make major adjustments to internal officials. He would rather spend a lot of financial resources to select talents with both talent and loyalty.
Tang Yin was able to carry out drastic reforms and rectification of Feng State, but he was very powerless against Yin Rou.
The day after Fang Xiaoxuan was executed by Ling Chi, Tang Yinyou went to Yonghe Palace to look for Yin Rou, but she avoided seeing him.
It's not that Yin Rou doesn't want to see Tang Yin, but she doesn't know how to face him. Because of her relationship, Tang Yin was almost poisoned and died. This was a huge blow to Yin Rou. She felt guilty and shameless towards Tang Yin.
.
Tang Yin could somewhat understand Yin Rou's current mood. He really wanted to let Yin Rou know that he did not resent her, but Yin Rou refused to see him, so he could not say these words to Yin Rou.
While he was thinking about how to repair the relationship between himself and Yin Rou, the war in the south broke out.
Huan's 200,000-strong army suddenly crossed the Anhuan border and broke into An's Chizhou County. The attack of Huan's army came too suddenly and without warning. Even though An's army had made preparations to defend against a sneak attack, they were still beaten by Huan's army.
Caught off guard.
Under the fierce attack of the Huan army, the An army was unable to resist. The camps and fortresses set up on the border between the two countries were destroyed one after another. In the end, the An army led by Bai Qing had no choice but to retreat.
The An army retreated like a flood, retreating again and again, from the border between the two countries to Meicheng, the county seat of Chizhou. After retreating to Meicheng, Bai Qing ordered the entire army to defend the county city and not retreat even half a step.
.
She knew in her heart that if she retreated further and surrendered the county and city, her own army would no longer have a foothold in Chizhou, and the entire county would fall into the hands of Huan's army.
