Therefore, Li Qing said calmly: "Okay, I have given you three chances, and I have done my best."
After saying that, Li Qing said, "Wu Ming! Huang Ansheng! Yang Bieju!..."
Li Qing called out the names of eight people in a row, making them tremble uncontrollably. They only thought that the next moment, they would hear them being dragged out and beheaded, or even more horrifically, being burned with fire.
But Li Qing paused for a moment before calmly saying, "I pardon you! Just accept the treasures and beauties that the Western Zhou bandits have brought you! They're free, so just take them! All your previous sins are in the past! From now on, just focus on serving your country!"
How could the eight people have imagined that Li Qing would say this?
For a moment, they all stood there in a daze.
Li Qing chuckled and said, "I said that those who confess today will be forgiven. So, I will forgive them. Do you think I am playing hard to get? What a joke! Get up now. As for those who peed themselves, quickly go down and take a shower and change clothes!"
After saying this, Li Qing glanced at all the ministers again.
The faint smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared.
The atmosphere in the entire hall turned cold again.
"Come here, use the cannon."
Sure enough, Li Qing’s next words made all the court officials feel shocked!
"Your Majesty! I am guilty! I am guilty!!"
There was a sudden scream, and an official fell completely to the ground, screaming non-stop.
"It's too late."
Li Qing looked indifferent and said slowly, "I consider you old ministers, ministers I promoted with my own hands, so I have given you chances again and again, but you don't take it seriously!"
"Bring out Xu Can, Qian Kun, Zhou Li... Yue Neng, these thirteen people!"
But Li Qing suddenly stood up, raised his hand and pointed at the thirteen people who had fallen to the ground like a puddle of mud, and shouted loudly.
"promise!"
The guards outside the hall rushed in and dragged the thirteen people out directly.
at the same time.
The huge cannon was once again pushed into the Wanshou Hall!
"A tyrant! An evil villain! You will perish sooner or later! You will perish sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Please spare me! Please spare me!"
"Your Majesty, I was wrong! I was wrong! Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"Hahaha! So what if you kill me? I, the Holy Lord of Western Zhou, will sooner or later destroy you, the unjust and tyrannical ruler! Hahaha!"
“…”
After these thirteen people were dragged out, nine of them collapsed immediately, wailing and begging for mercy, with feces and urine flowing out.
But there were four others who had an awe-inspiring look on their faces, shouting without any fear.
Li Qing looked at the four people with murderous intent in his eyes.
It is obvious that these four people are real people from the Western Zhou Dynasty. They are traitors planted by the Western Zhou Dynasty and climbed to this high position through a series of measures!
Now that they knew they were going to die, they naturally kept shouting and cursing all kinds of nonsense.
"My Lord Ji Fa heard the cry of a phoenix on Mount Qishan and saw it fall! It must be because your Shang Dynasty has lost its way! The Phoenix Master is no longer there to protect you! And it has fallen to the Western Zhou Dynasty! My Western Zhou Dynasty will surely prosper! I will destroy you, the unjust and tyrannical ruler! Tyrant! You must die!"
It was another third-rank official, his hair disheveled due to being pulled, but his voice was filled with arrogance as he roared loudly.
"What a joke! The Phoenix lineage was wiped out hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even our dynasty's founder was merely the reincarnation of the Celestial Phoenix, not the real Celestial Phoenix. Your Lordship, Jifa, is blind or is he having a nightmare? Can he see a Phoenix? I'm afraid he's more likely to see a pheasant!"
But it was a cold laugh. Shen Gongbao looked at the man with a sneer on his face and said loudly.
The man remained unconvinced, shouting, "You say there's no such thing?! You're a treacherous minister serving a tyrant! You don't know the destiny! You'll die sooner or later!"
When Shen Gongbao heard this, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes, but then he sneered and shook his head without saying anything.
I don't want to waste my breath arguing with a dying person.
Li Qing, with a gloomy face, said in a cold voice: "Give me the opportunity to kill these thieves!"
"promise!"
The fire was burning and the heat was rolling.
The four spies had their jaws broken by the guards and could only cry out.
As for the remaining nine people, who took bribes with a fluke mentality, their livers and gallbladders are already broken, their feces and urine are flowing, they are scared to death, and they are lying on the ground half dead.
"Take these nine and execute them. Their property will be confiscated. As for their wives, children, and grandchildren..."
Li Qing glanced at the nine people with disgust and said slowly, "Demote them to commoners! Exile them a million miles away! Never return to Chaoge again!"
"Your Majesty's grace! I will never forget it! I only hope that in the next life, I can serve Your Majesty again! Then I will definitely not let Your Majesty down! I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!!"
"Your Majesty, be so kind... I was wrong! My death is not a pity..."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"
After hearing this, the nine people suddenly regained some spirits. They burst into tears and shouted at Li Qinggao, and were then dragged away by the guards.
It's treason! Your Majesty didn't kill all nine of their clans, but only killed me, sparing my wife and children. This is already a great favor!
They just regretted why they didn't cut off contact with the Western Zhou Dynasty earlier and kill all the Western Zhou Dynasty spies in their territory, or why they didn't come out just now, kowtow and admit their mistakes, and still had hope?
The king gave us two days, three chances!
Seeing these nine people disappearing at the door of the palace crying, Li Qing looked indifferent.
Others can be forgiven, but these nine people cannot be forgiven, otherwise he will lose his dignity.
As for the remaining four.
Li Qing's eyes flashed with coldness as he said, "Give them all to me! The cannons I have made are specifically for killing you thieves and rats! Traitors and rebels!"
