"The magic method?" Xi Tong snorted, "Then let me see the real magic method!"
Mind control!
The minister's body trembled slightly, he was completely defeated, and was completely controlled by Xi Tong.
At the same time, Xi Tong was spinning a ring on his hand - it had been "taken" from the minister's hand without any trace at the moment when he handed the meat to the minister.
This is the Imperial Equipment of the Minister, and its ability is to invalidate the abilities of all Imperial Equipment.
Of course, this "everything" does not include the little emperor's supreme imperial weapon.
It is with this ring and the imperial gear that the minister can have spiritual defense. Once he loses the imperial gear, the minister is nothing more than a dying old man.
The little emperor flew down on a unicorn and looked at the minister angrily after landing.
"Minister, you have been deceiving me all this time!"
The little emperor's eyes were filled with tears.
Even when his father died, he still showed his perseverance and courage under the "admonishment" of his ministers without shedding a single tear.
"Is what you said about being loyal and patriotic a lie? Is it also a lie when you said you wanted to help me become a wise king like my father?"
The ministers controlled by Xi Tong no longer concealed themselves, but completely let themselves go.
"Little Huangkou, if you didn't have the blood of the emperor, what qualifications do you have standing here! If you weren't assisted by veterans, you would have been killed a thousand or ten thousand times by other princes!"
This is what the minister has always wanted to say but did not dare to say. At the same time, it is also the resentment that many high-ranking dignitaries have buried for more than ten or dozens of generations.
"The empire has been unified for thousands of years and will remain forever, but what about those of us who have worked hard for the empire through life and death? Look at this court, how many noble and famous families are there now?"
"No! Not one! What did the loyalty of my ministers get in exchange for this? There will be no burial place!"
The little emperor bit his lip and shouted angrily: "The royal family has an ancestral motto not to kill meritorious officials. The royal family has never behaved like a bird but a bow! Minister, you are slandering and you should be executed if found guilty!"
Don't kill the meritorious officials, treat them well - this is the greatest honor of the royal family, and it is also the only thing the old emperor taught the young emperor.
Seeing the little emperor's fierce reaction, Xi Tong was surprised.
The original drama only showed the decay and darkness of the empire, but never talked about the glorious side of the empire.
This can also explain why until the end of the country, there are still so many capable ministers who will fight for the empire through life and death and remain loyal.
The empire can be passed down for thousands of years because of more than just the Imperial Equipment!
The minister laughed wildly, "Yes, there is no bird in the empire, but where have all the noble families gone?"
Where did you go?
"The imperial power is too powerful, so powerful that it can crush everything! Therefore, there is no need to cook the rabbit to death."
"As long as the emperor deliberately alienates a family, the family will soon decline and disappear without leaving any trace."
"It was with this kind of knife that killed people without blood, that the royal family eradicated one noble family after another."
"The world will only remember the benevolence and wisdom of the royal family. What will be left to the ministers will be ruined reputation and the disgrace to the ancestors."
The little emperor slowly raised his right palm and said in a childish but decisive voice:
"I hereby swear that any meritorious person and his descendants will be treated well by the empire! No innocent person will be harmed by the law! No one is allowed to harm others for any reason or excuse!
Anyone who breaks the law, including me, will be punished!"
Hearing the little emperor's words, other courtiers in the hall also knelt down and cried bitterly, shouting long live the mountain.
The minister burst into tears and for the first time said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise!"
This is true wisdom, not fake wisdom under the guidance of ministers.
It is a great honor for the minister to see his students truly grow.
"Your Majesty, human life is limited after all. Even the First Emperor cannot live forever. You can be famous for a lifetime, but what about your descendants?"
"I can be loyal all my life, but my son is extremely naughty. If he had even the slightest ability, how could I have come to this point..."
After saying this, the minister could not kneel down, as if he was confessing his guilt and committing suicide.
He is an old fox, so he naturally knows what will happen if his crime is exposed.
If you can afford to play, you can afford to lose. The minister knows the rules of this circle, so he will not flip the table in a dishonest manner.
What's more, in front of Xi Tong, flipping the table is the same as courting death.
The little emperor no longer looked at the minister, but turned to look at Xi Tong. At this time, Xi Tong was his spiritual support.
"Master, did the royal family really do something wrong?"
Xi Tong shook his head, "Everything has its pros and cons, and everyone has its good and evil sides. There are times when the royal family is wise and there are times when it is foolish, and there are times when the officials are honest and there are times when they are corrupt."
"The minister's words are just using the integrity of the ministers to criticize the royal family's ignorance, but they deliberately ignore other situations."
The little emperor seemed to understand but asked doubtfully: "What are the other situations?"
Xi Tong looked at the little emperor, then turned to the ministers in the court.
"The royal family is wise and the officials are honest, this is a prosperous age!"
"The royal family is ignorant, the officials are honest, and the times are still prosperous!"
"The royal family is wise, but the officials are corrupt, that's the current situation!"
"The royal family is stupid and officials are corrupt, this is also the case now!"
After a pause, Xi Tong asked coldly: "How did the emperor turn from a wise man to a coward? The emperor wanted to be a benevolent king, but why did the empire become what it is now?"
"Gentlemen! Are you really loyal? Are you really honest? Have you really done what you have done? The king is worried about the humiliation of his ministers. Will he die if he humiliates his ministers?"
These words contain spiritual thoughts, and every word is like a great bell, deafening.
Not to mention that the ministers have been mind-controlled by Xi Tong, even if they are not, they will be shocked by these words and repent, crying bitterly.
For a time, there were cries and sobs in the court, which was even more miserable than when the old emperor died.
A civil servant with a white beard that reached his chest and his face covered with age spots stood up. He knelt down with his clothes in hand and apologized to the young emperor. He also accused the minister of coercing and luring him and what he had done for the minister without conscience.
bad thing.
One, two, three...
Later, people started to kneel down in groups of three, three, and even all the officials from a department came out together.
The little emperor stared blankly at the ministers below, his mind empty.
They all knelt down and no one stood.
In the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty, there is no one who can be trusted!
"Master, what should I do?"
Xi Tong shook his head, "Your Majesty, the first step to becoming a wise king is to have your own ideas! No matter whether the idea is right or wrong, it must be your own! No one can impose his will on you.
On the head!"
The little emperor sat back on the throne and subconsciously wanted to swing his legs, but stopped abruptly.
However, Xi Tong's words were still in his ears, and the little emperor immediately tried to move his left leg in slow motion and then replayed it in slow motion with his right leg.
After shaking for a few times, the little emperor put his legs together again, held the scepter tightly with both hands, and looked straight ahead.
"Grand Master, can killing the minister quell the public's anger?"
The young emperor did not ask whether the minister should die, but directly asked whether killing the minister would quell public anger.
