Chapter 501 A bunch of stupid things
None of the fierce bandits here dared to make any more noise.
The people clenched their fists and stared at them, which made them dare not say a word.
"Humph, a bunch of rabble, but they want to join hands with that thief to deal with my Wei, what a foolish dream!" Concubine Li shouted coldly, "Come here, take down Zhang Ye, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Shun, the Minister of Revenue, Chen Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... all of them!"
"Madam Concubine Li, what are you doing? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why did you let Madam Concubine Li arrest us?" Several court officials were held down and looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
Xiao Yin smiled faintly: "Why? Do you need me to tell you your actions in public? Tell me one by one how you colluded with Wen Zhong, how you wanted to bribe the Queen Concubine, and your crimes of treason?" "
It's unfair, your majesty, we are innocent. We have devoted ourselves to the country and have never had any second thoughts!" The ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging: "Your Majesty is wise, your majesty, the Queen Concubine Li must be talking nonsense, we must have not listened to the Queen's arrangements, so the Queen treated us like this!"
"Oh, tell me, how did the Queen Concubine Li arrange you!" Xiao Yin walked to the group of ministers kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back. He swept his eyes over the people in front of him and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, have never had any second thoughts. We just want to serve the Great Wei and seek welfare for the people of the Great Wei. Concubine Li has been at odds with the Queen Mother these days. After she returned to the capital, she contacted the ministers to force the
Queen Mother to hand over the Phoenix Seal. What else could this be but dreaming of becoming the emperor?" "That's right, Your Majesty, Concubine Li is ambitious and the world can see it!"
"Hmph, how outrageous!" On the side, the Queen Mother stood up from her chair, walked over slowly, and said, "Do you think I am a vegetarian? I handed the Phoenix Seal to Concubine Li myself, and I let people spread all the rumors. As we all know, there are many people who want the imperial power of our Great Wei, but Ali, she definitely doesn't want to be the empress!"
"Empress Dowager... you, you are wise!" The ministers did not dare to say more, but just murmured in a low voice.
"Li Fei loves my son deeply, and the emperor also loves Li Fei deeply. Of course, as an emperor, it is inevitable to have three palaces and six courtyards. However, the emperor has only had Xian Fei and Li Fei until now, and has never had other women. The other concubines in the harem have never been favored until today. This is also a testimony that men should work hard for the country and the people. Even the emperor should not indulge in wine and women!" The empress dowager said in a clear voice.
Baby Ruoxi was on the side, being held by Hongmei. Standing next to Hongmei was General Yuanhui, who had just returned from Beiling the day before yesterday.
Hongmei is a straightforward girl, and now she is pregnant. Although Yuanhui wants to hold the little princess, she has missed her very much after not seeing her for a long time, so she will not let go.
Baby Ruoxi hugged Hongmei's neck, looked at the scene on the high platform, and raised her hands to applaud.
The officers and soldiers next to him were infected and began to applaud, and the people also applauded.
"We have the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and several concubines in the Great Wei. It's enough, it's enough. Oh, and we also have our eldest princess and the little princess of fortune. Why should we worry about the prosperity of the Great Wei!"
The people applauded excitedly and looked at the emperor on the high platform together, each with a happy face.
This scene made baby Ruoxi's mouth twitch.
She really wanted to remind everyone that this is the north of the city, a mass grave and an execution ground. Now this group of people are preparing to wash their necks. Well, there is no need to wash them, just take a big knife and chop their necks.
Look at how excited everyone is, as if they are attending a banquet.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have never had the intention of treason!"
"Treason? Who said you are treasonous? How do you know that I arrested you for treason!" Xiao Yin walked up to a minister and frowned, "Huh, the commander of the border army, secretly hired soldiers outside the city, you want to provide support for those murderous bandits, right?"
"No, no, Your Majesty..., I want to rescue the Queen Mother and Concubine Li!" The commander of the army said immediately.
"Crack!"
Xiao Yin raised his foot and kicked the army commander in the neck. With a crisp sound, the army commander's neck collapsed and he died.
The others were so scared that they confessed immediately.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was confused for a moment. I was deceived by Doctor Wen, no, it was Doctor Wen Zhong who deceived me. He said that as long as we can take down the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Princess will definitely listen to us and will take the initiative to abdicate and let the virtuous take over."
"Yes, Wen Zhong told us that Concubine Li is from the Western Regions and must be a spy from Xiyueguo. She did this because she must have used the Western Regions Yizhichun to confuse the Queen Mother. That's why we found Concubine Li!"
"You can meet a death row prisoner, but you have never thought about why it is so smooth?" Xiao Yin asked.
"Hey, a bunch of stupid people. I want to help Xiyue capture the Wei Dynasty. Why don't I confuse the emperor and capture His Majesty directly? Why do I have to deal with the Queen Mother? If the Queen Mother doesn't let His Majesty the Emperor take out the jade seal, you will be doomed!" Concubine Li stepped forward, sneered coldly, looked at the other kneeling courtiers, and shook her head. : "Everyone, come to me and tell me how good Wen Zhong is, how kind Wen Zhong is, and how good Wen Zhongde's plan is. Can you believe that one person, who has combined so many murderous bastards, can lead the Wei Dynasty? What are you thinking?"
Concubine Li's words made these people soften and fall down.
However, the officers and soldiers beat them severely with the handle of the Xiuchun knife and made them continue to stand.
When dealing with rebellious bandits, the officers and soldiers would not go too easy on them even without the Emperor's orders. These people had never suffered such pain before, and they cried and cursed Wen Zhong one by one.
"This beast, he said we all ate the Lichun flowers he gave us, so we must listen to him, otherwise we will die of ulcers!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we really have no choice, our families are still in their hands!"
"You don't want to think about how to protect your family, and don't want this method to make yourself an upright person, but you are doing evil here, and you still have the nerve to shout, hum!" Concubine Li walked aside and said: "Ministry of Justice, these people, let's make a quick decision, there is no need to send them to prison, it's a waste of the jailer's time!"
"No, no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please let my family go!"
Some ministers begged for mercy, and some ministers begged for mercy for their families.
