Hearing this voice, all the officials stretched their necks and looked around. Who is this guy? He looks strange.
At this time, someone recognized Qinglong and said, "It's Qinglong, the first commander of the new selection team of the Internal Machinery Supervision. This time, the Internal Machinery Supervision has selected four commanders in total. The other three commanders have not shown up yet."
"Where is the former commander?"
"Shhh, it can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words."
The ending is self-evident.
Internal machine supervisor, these three words are words that others dare not mention easily.
"Your Majesty, I am late, please punish me." Qinglong knelt down respectfully, sweating profusely. It was obvious that after receiving the imperial edict, he did not dare to stop and ran quickly.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Have you found out?"
"Back to Your Majesty, everything has been investigated. I have turned the Wei Mansion upside down and found a secret room under Wei Jun's study. There are many intact secret letters and countless gold and silver jewels in it."
"There is irrefutable evidence. Wei Jun is suspected of betraying national intelligence, supporting bandits, taking bribes and perverting the law, and embezzling national property. He is punishable for several crimes. He can be executed for treason." After saying this, Qinglong took out a huge box, which was full of banknotes. , visually estimated to be hundreds of thousands taels.
Li Yi sneered again and again, grabbed a handful of banknotes and threw them in front of Ning Wen, "Master Ning, Ning Shangshu, what else do you have to say, and those few who are trying to protect Wei Jun, what do you have? Can you talk?"
Hearing this, the expressions of Ning Wen and others looked like they had eaten fly excrement, and they didn't know how to make excuses at all.
Ning Wen sighed, his eyes full of helplessness, as if he had aged dozens of years at this moment.
It's no wonder that the six ministers have joined forces to control the government, and now only he and Li Cun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, are left.
The key point is that Li Cun is weak and has no say in the court.
Wei Jun, the only one who could speak, was directly wiped on the neck by Li Yi.
These sycophants are all actors, and they changed their tune in an instant.
"Your Majesty, this old bastard Wei Jun is really nothing. He has done so many evil things behind your back!"
"Yes, we didn't know Wei Jun was such a person. He is really a guy with a human face and a beast heart. Your Majesty, please deal with Wei Jun according to the law!"
"You're so right. You know people but don't know their hearts. Wei Jun's actions are unacceptable to heaven and earth. The nine tribes should be destroyed!"
Many of these people had a close relationship with Wei Jun, but they still quickly changed their tune at this time, and they were all just outsiders.
Wei Ziya looked on with cold eyes, his eyes full of contempt and disdain, and he really didn't want to be with him!
The same is true for Li Yi. He gets angry when he sees these sanctimonious hypocrites. With the Gale Dynasty in their hands, how can they be invincible? How can the people of the world live a good life?
"Okay, that's good. Wei Jun was killed by the nine tribes. What about you?"
"Lu Hancheng, drag all these sanctimonious beasts and the scholar named Liu Lu down. First, beat a hundred big boards, and then be exiled to Lingnan. You will never be allowed to return to the capital. Your family will be guilty of the same crime, and your family property will be confiscated!" He was too lazy to say more! Take a look at them.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including the group of scholars, all raised their heads and were shocked. Isn't this too cruel?
With just such a sentence, he will be exiled to Lingnan and his family property will be confiscated!
Naturally, Ning Wen and others were unwilling to do so, and glared at Li Yi with ferocious expressions. They knew clearly that Li Yi was deliberately using the topic to eliminate dissidents, but at this time, none of them dared to stand up.
Whoever stands up at this juncture will die!
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, please forgive me!"
"I was wrong. I was really wrong. I was deceived. Please show mercy and give me another chance. We will never do it again!"
"Your Majesty, there are old people above me and young people below. If we are exiled to Lingnan, there will be no way to survive. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
These sycophants were crying and begging to kowtow. The punishment for being exiled to Lingnan was worse than beheading.
Being exiled to Lingnan almost meant death, and it would also involve torture to death.
The voices gradually disappeared, and all the sycophants were dragged out. No matter how much they begged, Li Yi showed no mercy, and no one in the civil or military court dared to intercede.
Everyone can see that the emperor is really angry today and will not stop until he kills people!
It had only been an hour, and things almost took a double turn.
After dealing with this group of sycophants, it should be the turn of these capital scholars!
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for bothering you. If you don't have any other instructions, I'll have to resign." A scholar asked tremblingly, not even daring to raise his head.
"Want to leave?" Li Yi smiled, "You can come if you want and make trouble if you want. Now that you want to leave, do you think you can leave?"
Hundreds of people in the capital panicked, and their bodies suddenly became colder. What do you mean, Your Majesty, you are not going to kill us, are you?
"This is the second time. It was also the last time. You called me a fool when you opened your mouth, and called me a tyrant when you closed your mouth. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
"Wow!"
These scholars were collectively horrified. They felt a sense of terror sweeping through their bodies, and their whole bodies were extremely cold.
Who could have expected that things would reach this point. It turned out that they had wronged His Majesty?
According to His Majesty's temper, this time they may...
They were completely desperate and collapsed to the ground one after another.
At this time, as the minister of Dali Temple, Wei Ziya, the future senior minister, will naturally not sit idly by.
Wei Ziya stood up and interceded on their behalf. After all, these scholars were scholars from the Dafeng Dynasty, and they also had fame. They would also be talented people who would govern the world in the future. They were just deceived and credulous.
If they were all killed, it would inevitably cause shock in the literary world and spread rumors. Then there would be real trouble.
Li Yi thought for a moment and figured out the key points. He changed the subject and said, "Well, since Mr. Wei is interceding for you, I will spare you once. Remember, first, second, not third." , if it happens again, even if I, the King of Heaven, pleads for mercy, it will be useless!"
"Also, the suppression of the rebellion in Dongshan has a great impact on the court and me. Do you know how to make meritorious deeds?"
"Well, do you still need me to explain?"
This sentence is already a threat to Chi Guoguo.
"Your Majesty, I understand, I understand!" This group of scholars immediately understood and eagerly expressed their merits, "The suppression of the rebellion in Dongshan has been successfully concluded. All the bandits in Dongshan have been wiped out. As for the defeat, it was a scam from beginning to end. Someone Deliberately framed Your Majesty, framed Master Sun Tingzong, framed a meritorious official!"
"That's right, someone is deliberately slandering me, the hero of the Gale Dynasty, and he deserves to be punished!"
Li Yi nodded and asked with a smile: "Who do you think is behind this?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became strange. At this time, Ning Wen was the first to couldn't help shouting: "It's Wei Jun. The culprit behind this is Wei Jun. This traitor has been beheaded by His Majesty!"
Li Yi's eyes turned cold, and he looked down at him coldly, with a trace of provocation in his eyes, "Okay, Master Ning is absolutely right, it's Wei Jun, he is the scapegoat."
Ning Wen's old face was embarrassed and his pupils were on fire!
These scholars no longer dared to stay and wanted to fly out immediately, "Your Majesty, I will prepare an article and write a proclamation right away to inform the world. I will also give justice to Mr. Sun Tingzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, and justice to the heroes who put down the rebellion in Dongshan. , and rectify His Majesty’s name!”
"Your Majesty is the true Mingshi of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty is truly the emperor of the ages!"
"..."
No wonder some emperors in history liked to keep a group of useless scholars. I have to say, these guys speak really nicely.
Li Yi nodded with satisfaction. Forget it, let's spare these scholars. They are a bunch of worthless food. It's a pity to abandon them. Killing them would be more than worth the loss. Now we have Wei Jun, the Minister of Rites, plus a dozen sycophants. This deal enough.
As for Ning Wen and others, Li Yi naturally wanted to give it a try, "Master Ning, thank you very much, hahaha..."
This laughter made Ning Wen tremble with anger, but he still forced a smile until he watched Li Yi and his party leave.
"Li Yi, just wait for me, or you won't be so lucky next time!"
Ning Wen walked out of the palace tremblingly with an old face as if he were mourning for an heir.
This time, they came back defeated again. Li Yi not only solved the rebellion of Dongshan thieves, but also took down the Ministry of Rites. Even Wei Jun died, and he also took the opportunity to win the hearts of a large number of scholars.
This is really shooting oneself in the foot. Just thinking about it makes my teeth itch with hatred. It's really weird. How come Li Yi can resolve any plot?
Could it be that he really has the aura of an emperor to protect him...
now.
The inner courtyard of the palace.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take the opportunity to capture Mr. Yan and uproot these sycophants?" Cao Qingyan said unwillingly.
Li Yimi frowned, "Don't worry, it's not the time to touch him yet. We still need to wait for the opportunity. Now it's time to see who can stay calmer."
When the news reached the Yan family's mansion, a burst of angry voices immediately came out.
