I, make my own

Chapter 32 Harvesting the Fruit
Zhou Xin's unemotional eyes slowly swept across the officials in the palace, and finally fixed on Zhu Gaoyang.

"Zhu Aiqing, Zhao Dongchang doesn't know anything, so you, Sicheng Jing'an, do you know what happened last night?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have sorted out the context of last night's big change, and sorted out the evidence, and I am about to report to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoyang got up quickly, and replied respectfully and calmly.

"Oh? Then tell me."

Zhou Xin raised his eyelids, his face was calm.

"Yes!"

Zhu Gao Yang saluted again, took a deep breath and began to talk.

"Last night at Haizheng, Princess Wei Wang Xihe was ambushed in a small forest in the north of the city, and Princess Wei disappeared mysteriously. After King Wei arrived, he found the corpses and tokens of the members of the Dark Scale Guard of the General's Mansion, so it was determined that the General ordered it. "

"Afterwards, King Wei was furious and mad, intending to take advantage of the situation to rebel, so he issued three orders in a row. One ordered the secretly raised soldiers and followers of Jianghu to kill the general's mansion, the second ordered the Huwei army to enter the city 'Qin Huang', and the third ordered the forbidden army to command the general. Conspiring against and assassinating His Majesty!"

"Huh? You said Wei Wang wanted to rebel last night? Do you have evidence?"

Zhou Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

The eyelids of all the officials in the palace twitched, and they were a little confused about what His Majesty wanted to do.

"Return to Your Majesty, the evidence is solid! It can be delivered to Your Majesty, Dali Temple, and the Clan Mansion at any time!"

Zhu Gaoyang responded sonorously, with full confidence.

"Oh, what a majestic king! I wondered why there was a general in the forbidden army making trouble last night. That's why."

Zhou Xin sneered again and again, his eyes were cold.

"Can Wei Wang's accomplices be found out? Also, what are the origins of those Jiang Hu disciples?"

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the evidence we have so far, it can be confirmed that there is one person who is supporting King Wei."

As Zhu Gaoyang said, he turned his head and stared at Lin Zhengqing.

Seeing this scene, Baiguan couldn't help holding his breath, and his heart beat like a bell.

Is the emperor going to attack the prime minister directly? ? ? ! !
However, Lin Zhengqing, who was the eye of the audience, only frowned, and then regained his composure.

In this strange silence, Zhu Gaoyang suddenly shifted his gaze and fixed on Liu Tan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"He is Liu Tan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the hall.

Liu Tan's expression changed drastically, he stared at Zhu Gaoyang in surprise and anger, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground.

"Your Majesty! The old minister has been wronged!"

"Injustice? Heh!"

Zhu Gaoyang sneered, "Eighteen court officials died tragically last night, and six of them were killed by the whole family, leaving no dogs or dogs! Even the Minister of the Ministry of War died in the courtyard! Are those executioners sent by you, Liu Shangshu?"

"Zhu Heishu! You...you spout blood!"

Liu Tan pointed at Zhu Gaoyang and roared angrily, his body trembling, he didn't know if it was from anger or fright.

"Blood spit?"

Zhu Gaoyang sneered again and again, his eyes were indifferent.

"It's easy to teach Liu Shangshu to know that I, Jing'an Division, not only captured some of the executioners, but also invited your housekeeper to testify in person. The ironclad evidence is so strong that you cannot tolerate sophistry!"

Liu Tan's body froze suddenly, and fear finally appeared in his eyes.

In a hurry, Liu Tan hurriedly looked at Lin Zhengqing.

"My lord prime minister! They planted the blame, you must save me!"

"Liu Shangshu, it's unbelievable that I respect you so much at a loss. You dare to be bewitched by others and participate in the great rebellion! Hmph! No one can save you from the crimes committed by the barbarians!"

With a gloomy face, Lin Zhengqing finally spoke.

Liu Tan glared at Lin Zhengqing angrily with trembling lips, his eyes almost popped out, but in the end he didn't say anything, but his body softened and he collapsed to the ground with a dead face.

Lin Zhengqing deliberately emphasized the words "Three Yi Clans", which is to remind him that if he dares to drag the other party into it, then his only bloodline hidden outside will also be lost, the bloodline of the Liu Clan The inheritance will be completely cut off!
"Okay, you are really a good minister of Da Zhou! You are really a good minister of mine!"

Zhou Xin grunted angrily with a livid face, waved his hands and someone dragged Liu Tan out of the hall.

"Preach my will! Deprive Zhou Lanwei of his position as Prince, seize Weiwang's mansion and all related properties, and arrest all relevant personnel! Issue a sea arrest document and capture Zhou Lan!"

"Also! Liu Tan participated in the plot against the Yi tribe!"

For members of the royal family to usurp the throne, it is naturally impossible to punish the Nine Clans and the Yi Clans, otherwise...

And this is why Lin Zhengqing removed his traces and used Liu Tan as a scapegoat when he knew that King Wei's rebellion might fail.

"only!"

"Where are those Jiang Hu disciples?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, he should be a member of Shang Fazong, but the current evidence is not very sufficient."

"Shang Fazong..."

Zhou Xin squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Pass down my will, let the suzerain of Shang Fazong enter Beijing, and give me an explanation!"

"only!"

"continue."

"Yes! Your Majesty, in the change last night, all the family members of the General's Mansion were killed, and the death of the General was also assassinated. Judging from the several corpses at the scene, it may be the work of demons, because three of the corpses were all dead. It's the fox family."

"However, there is something strange. According to the cross-examination and investigation, the assassin seems to have internal strife at the end. I speculate that the assassination of the general should be from two forces, but I don't know whether the other force is a demon or my race."

"Check! Check it out!"

Zhou Xin had a cold face and deep eyes.

"The general has made great contributions to our Great Zhou Dynasty. He must not die in vain! Also, the Ministry of Rites must draw up regulations as soon as possible, and bury the general with the ceremony of a minister!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, many officials felt strange.

I never heard that the family members of the Great General's Mansion are facing a catastrophe...

But at this moment, no one dared to ask more questions.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

After a short pause, Zhu Gaoyang spoke again.

"speak."

"Yes! Your Majesty, according to the interrogation of the general's entourage, there seems to be a mysterious figure in the incident last night."

"Mysterious man? Who?"

Zhou Xin frowned slightly, and asked in dissatisfaction.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I only know that the man is called 'Young Master Yan'. The specific information is not clear yet."

Zhu Gaoyang responded cautiously, and then added aloud.

"However, Your Majesty, this person seems to be more active in the underground dark web recently, and the assassination of His Majesty when he left the palace seems to be related to this person..."

"Then hurry up and investigate! Catch that bastard surnamed Yan as soon as possible!"

Zhou Xin slapped Yu An heavily, and shouted in a cold voice.

"only!"

……

"In the chaos last night, nearly [-] court officials were killed. My heart aches!"

Zhou Xin took a deep breath and said with a low expression.

"Relevant ministries and departments should come up with corresponding regulations as soon as possible to ensure that they do a good job in dealing with the aftermath."

"In addition, their deaths have also brought a lot of losses and troubles to the imperial court. In order to ensure the normal and effective operation of the imperial court's government affairs, these vacancies need to be filled immediately."

Hearing this, some people finally couldn't sit still.

King Han Zhou Yunhan stood up first, held the wat board and said respectfully and solemnly:

"Your Majesty's words are very true! A country cannot live without a king, and a ship cannot live without a rudder. The most important thing now is to choose those who have both ability and virtue to fill the vacancy as soon as possible, so as to escort the stability and prosperity of our Great Zhou."

"Your Majesty, old ministers are not talented, and I would like to recommend a few capable ministers for your majesty to govern the world!"

Zhou Xin raised his eyelids, and said expressionlessly: "The emperor doesn't need to bother about this matter, I have already taken care of it."

Zhou Yunhan's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty..."

Zhou Xin's eyes turned cold, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"Uncle Huang didn't understand what I said?"

Zhou Yunhan's lips moved, but facing Zhou Xin's deep and unwavering eyes, he finally sat back on his knees with twitching cheeks.

"Declarate them into the palace."

"Xuan~"

Leng Yun shouted loudly, and the old officials who had been waiting outside the hall came in one after another.

"Weichen (grassmen, sinners) and others, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I know the whole story of the encounters of the ministers. I also know the talents of the ministers."

Zhou Xin showed his face and smiled for the first time, and his eyes were full of gentleness when he stared at these old ministers.

"At present, the imperial court is waiting to be rejuvenated, and I hope that all the ministers can help each other, show what they have learned, and lay a strong foundation for the Great Zhou!"

All the more than [-] former ministers were excited and filled with emotion.

They could hear clearly the previous court proceedings from outside.

They were originally the backbone of the emperor's orthodoxy, and now His Majesty can use them, which makes them feel excited.

Not to mention, he had a preliminary understanding of the young His Majesty's means and mind from the tip of the iceberg in the imperial court.

To be honest, although they hated the harem meddling in politics and power ministers disrupting the country, the strength of the two major factions also made them feel powerless.

However, the two major factions, which are as unshakable as mountains, were still mostly destroyed by His Majesty. This kind of skill simply made them admire, even awe!

The country has such a hero, why worry about it?
"I would like to devote myself to your Majesty! I would like to die for Da Zhou!"

"Great!"

Zhou Xin laughed happily, and then waved his hand.

"Xuan!"

"God bless Shenzhou, Emperor Wude, the imperial edict said:
State-owned sacred trees can reach the sky.State-owned diabolo will fall into the abyss.

Today, I am declaring my kindness to all the ministers, and I hope that you will not change your heart and live up to your expectations.

First, Luo Jiuling was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials!
Second, grant Yuan Xing the Minister of War!

Third, promote Bai Wenbin to Dali Temple Minister!
Fourth, promote Zhu Gaoyang to be the head of the Jing'an Department!

Fifth, promote Feng Yu to be the servant of the household department!

Sixth, imperial seal..."

After a series of imperial conferments, all the old officials bowed down excitedly and wept with gratitude.

However, most of the other officials looked ugly, especially the Three Kings and Prime Minister Lin Zhengqing.

The emperor directly took down two of the six ministers, but even took the positions of the sub-heads of the other four ministers, that is, the positions of ministers.

More importantly, Jing'an Division and Dali Temple were also taken over by the emperor's people.

In this way, apart from the clan mansion, the emperor's tentacles of influence will spread all over the entire court!
Faced with such an ending, although they were annoyed and unwilling, no one stood up again.

Because of everything today, the emperor was clearly prepared for it, and it was difficult for these people who were promoted to the ranks to pick out big problems no matter their qualifications or abilities.

Since wrangling cannot change the ending, they can only temporarily acquiesce.

As for later...
