The rune memory stone fell at Ji Liufeng's feet.
He picked it up with a sullen face, feeling very angry.
This kid, now that his wings are hardened, actually scolded him like this in public.
No matter what, he is Yinlan's father and his future father-in-law!
He held back his anger and poured his energy into the Rune Memory Stone.
The memory stone bloomed with light, showing a picture in the sky.
Ji Liufeng only looked at it for a moment, then his expression changed.
He was trembling all over, ran to the left prime minister in a state of disbelief, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and roared: "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty... I... I don't know what's going on!"
The left prime minister looked completely unaware.
"Come and tell me what's going on?" Ji Liufeng kicked the right prime minister and said angrily: "I leave it to you to handle the placement and pension matters for the families of the martyrs. I have given you repeated orders and orders, and there must be no problems. How did you do it?" Those who do things!”
The right minister covered the area where he was kicked and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. In such a large country, mistakes will inevitably be made at every level. If this matter is true, it must be the corruption of officials below, and I will definitely deal with this matter seriously. But the matter The truth needs to be verified. Maybe the old man is not a martyr at all, but a fake one."
"What do you mean, I didn't clarify the facts and am unjustly accusing you here?"
Jun Wuxie was immediately infuriated. It was ridiculous for two ants, whose heads were caught in the door, to do this in front of him.
"Jun Shen, please calm down. We didn't mean this. We just think there's something fishy about this matter. Maybe someone framed it..."
Jun Wuxie didn't want to talk nonsense with them at all, and said to the outside of the hall: "Come in."
Suddenly, a group of soldiers wearing black armor filed in. The Mo Dao in their hands shone with a cold metallic luster, carrying murderous intent.
Seeing such a formation, the right minister and the left minister immediately understood that the situation was over and Jun Wuxie was determined to punish them.
"Jun Shen! You are overstepping your authority and openly leading troops into the Jinluan Palace. What do you want? Do you want to rebel?"
They yelled loudly and fiercely, saying that they were destined to die no matter what, and they had to struggle no matter what, not wanting to just sit back and wait for death.
"Shut up!" Ji Liufeng stepped forward, slapped the left and right Xiang on the face, and said angrily: "Dazhou is already his, how can he rebel! Without him, Dazhou would have died long ago! You two bastards , what dirty deeds have you done behind my back!"
"What are you doing here? Arrest people!"
Jun Wuxie gave orders to the Xuanjia Army who came in.
Suddenly, the Xuanjia Army rushed directly towards the ministers, causing chaos in the entire Jinluan Palace, with screams and hysterical roars happening one after another.
"Junshen, you can't do this! Without us, there will be a large number of vacancies in important positions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the entire country will be unruly, and political affairs will be in chaos. Give us a chance, we know we are wrong, and we will change it!"
"Take him away and take him to the execution ground!"
Jun Wuxie didn't want to hear this nonsense at all.
A group of ridiculous people actually want to use this as a bargaining chip.
Not to mention that he has already prepared a replacement for the vacant high-ranking official position, but what if there is no one to replace him for the time being?
If political affairs are at a standstill, they will be at a standstill. The Great Zhou Dynasty will not be in chaos because of this. As long as the army is allowed to enter the city and maintain order, the people can still live as before and do their own things.
There were hundreds of ministers in the Jinluan Palace, but now there are less than thirty left.
Jun Wuxie's iron-blooded methods caught everyone by surprise. They never expected that a disaster would suddenly come.
The strong men of the Xuanyuan clan conducted a very thorough investigation. They investigated all the activities of the officials in the court and the central government in the past six months. Everything was detailed and the evidence was conclusive.
Those who are strong in the Holy Sect will check these people who are not in the realm of Qi Condensation and Cave Heaven, and they will check them accurately.
It is too easy for the soul of the Holy Sect to peek into the sea of consciousness of people at lower realms while they are sleeping, just like reading their memories.
With the memory information of those officials, the only thing left is to collect the evidence directly according to their memories. No one can escape!
"You all go to the execution ground to watch the execution now!"
He looked at the remaining ministers, who couldn't help but tremble and exited the hall tremblingly. Their bodies were soaked with cold sweat, but they felt very happy in their hearts.
At the same time, they are also grateful that they have always adhered to their integrity and bottom line in the face of high pressure from the right and left prime ministers, and did not give in and collude with them, otherwise they would be finished today!
"Innocent..."
Ji Liufeng's face was full of bitterness, and at this moment, he felt extremely ashamed.
Thinking of the past, it was also because of his own incompetence that Da Zhou was coerced by several famous families.
He originally thought that he would never make such a mistake again, but he didn't want to still use the wrong person.
"Your Majesty, when Yinlan comes back, you can abdicate. She will be the next emperor of Zhou Dynasty!"
Jun Wuxie's words were a bit ruthless and did not allow for discussion or objection. He wanted to deprive Ji Liufeng of his status as king.
"Okay, I have nothing to say, it's my incompetence..."
Ji Liufeng felt a deep sense of frustration. As the king of a country, he had really failed as a king in controlling his ministers.
On the surface it seems that he is controlling his ministers, but in fact it is the ministers who are playing tricks on him.
"Your biggest problem is that you always sit in the court, always stay in the palace, and never understand the real situation of this country. Even if you secretly cultivate a group of confidants, let them disguise themselves as ordinary people and go out among the people Look, you won’t trust the sycophants easily and be toyed with by them!”
Ji Liufeng sighed, he seemed much older at this moment.
"From now on, you can accompany your queen every day. Isn't that kind of life what you want?"
Jun Wuxie's tone softened, with a slightly teasing tone.
After all, he was Yinlan's father. If he hadn't been too angry, he wouldn't have gotten so angry in public.
"Yes, you are right. I can finally feel at ease and accompany the queen without caring about anything..." Ji Liufeng smiled and said, "You have done such a big thing secretly. I think you should be caught this time." Are there few people?"
"Three hundred and forty-six thousand, seven hundred and twenty-three."
"What?"
Ji Liufeng trembled and almost collapsed on the ground.
His lips trembled a few times and he said, "Did you arrest most of the officials and servants in the city?"
"There are also many businessmen and country squire bullies who collude with the officials. The cancer must be removed and no one can be left alive! Only the iron and blood of the law can rectify the atmosphere of a country and stabilize the people's livelihood of a country!"
"But if this happens, how can those vacancies be filled? I'm afraid there will be political chaos for a long time!"
"Political affairs can be suspended. It is just a good time to let the Xuanyuan people come to replace the vacancies of high-ranking officials to discuss the principles and strategies of governing the country. As for the order of this city, with the Xuanjia Army here, there will be no problems, and the people will They still live according to their original rhythm. At present, what is urgently needed are only the lowest-level officials to deal with the large and small disputes that the people have in their daily lives."
"Hey, that's all it can do."
"Your Majesty, your thoughts are still stuck in the past. Today's Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer the secular country it used to be. It is now transforming into a dynasty in the world of cultivation. Those trivial things in the past will only become more and more serious as time goes by. The less.”
Ji Liufeng was stunned for a moment, then seemed to come back to his senses.
Yes, today’s Dazhou is no longer the same as before.
Now this city is full of spiritual energy, like a paradise in the cave, and it is rich in spiritual rice. In just one and a half years, I am afraid that all the people will become warriors.
By that time, all the people will not need to worry about making a living as before, nor will they need to worry about illness. Many problems will be solved easily.
By then, as long as the order of the country can be maintained and the general direction of the country's development can be formulated, it will be enough.
"Lord God." A commander of the Xuanjia Army came in a hurry: "The crimes of those people are about to be read out, and it's time for you and Your Majesty to enter."
Jun Wuxie nodded and walked out of the hall, followed by Ji Liufeng.
…
The Dazhou execution ground was very wide.
There was no execution ground here originally. It was only when the capital returned to its former appearance as an imperial capital under Emperor Xuanyuan that this execution ground emerged in the light of the runes.
In the center of the execution ground is a huge Xingtai, surrounded by empty squares. The entire architectural style is like a huge bird's nest.
In all directions, there are stairs sloping up so that spectators can see the execution on Xingtai.
Runes are also engraved near Xingtai.
At this moment, the runes were shining brightly and reflected in the air, forming a huge light curtain.
What is shown on the light screen is the scene on the Xing Platform, but the people kneeling on the Xing Platform are magnified many times, so that the entire execution ground, even those standing at the edge, can see clearly.
On Xingtai, there were rows of people kneeling, each row was a kilometer long, and there were hundreds of rows in total!
This was only part of the execution. Because there were too many people to be executed, they could only come in batches. The rest were suppressed under Xingtai, guarded by several powerful men from the Xuanjia Army and the Xuanyuan Clan.
A holy sect of the Xuanyuan clan was reading out the charges against these people. He listed more than forty items in total. Some people's behavior was so bad that it is difficult to describe.
Millions of people gathered in the execution ground, all extremely angry.
"Kill these pests!"
"Kill these pests!"
The crowd's voices shook the execution ground. They were so loud and angry that they wanted to rush forward immediately and tear those people into pieces.
After the powerful man of the Xuanyuan clan read out all the charges, he said: "Due to the large number of people who have violated the law, we can only read out the charges together today. In the future, we will gradually make the crimes committed by each of them public!"
Jun Wuxie and Ji Liufeng arrived at the execution ground just at this time.
Ji Liufeng was trembling all over, and that was because he was angry.
Before he arrived here, he heard the voice of a strong man from the Xuanyuan clan reading from a distance.
The voice of the powerful man at the pinnacle of the Holy Sect spread throughout the city, and most of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty could hear it clearly.
"Master Jun!"
The strong men of the Xuanyuan clan came forward.
"Welcome to the Lord!"
The Xuanjia Army marched in unison and knelt down on one knee, their swords and pestles clanking on the ground.
"Get up."
Jun Wuxie glanced coldly at those who were about to be executed.
On the Xing platform, behind each kneeling person was a cross. Hanging on the shelf was a mesh made of wire, as well as several thin torture knives.
"God, Lord, have mercy on us! God, Lord, have mercy on us, we don't dare anymore, we won't dare anymore, please spare our lives!"
For a time, shrill cries resounded throughout the world.
Those who were about to be executed were trembling all over, crying bitterly, with fear in their eyes, and some became incontinent in public.
"Execution!"
Jun Wuxie ignored these cries and begged for mercy and gave the order coldly.
Immediately, tens of thousands of Xuanjia troops boarded Xingtai, lifted those people up, and fixed them on the cross.
Those people struggled wildly and screamed in fear, but to no avail.
After they were fixed on the cross, the Xuanjia Army took off the metal mesh and covered them. With a strong pull, the metal mesh tightened, causing the flesh on their bodies to bulge out of the mesh.
At this time, Xuan Jiajun took off the torture knife and began to cut, cutting off the flesh bulging from the mesh one by one.
In an instant, shrill screams echoed through the sky.
The sound was so piercing, like a ghost crying, it made people's skin crawl all over and their heart tightened violently.
In the sky, the rune light curtain reflected the execution scene, making it extremely clear for everyone to see.
The light curtain was high in the sky, not only projected on the execution ground, but also projected on many areas of the capital, so that all the people in the audience could witness the entire scene and the entire process.
The picture is quite brutal and bloody.
Although such a scene caused discomfort to many people, the people felt extremely happy in their hearts.
Some people have been oppressed and treated unfairly, and they dare not speak out. Now, seeing those corrupt officials who bend the law for their own interests, the evil businessmen who exploit the people, and the tyrants and gentry who collude with officials to act tyrannically, are all sentenced to death, the bad anger in my heart can finally be vented.
At the execution ground, some of those waiting for execution were so frightened that they fainted.
The entire execution ground was filled with a strong smell of feces and urine. Many people could not bear the shock of this cruel scene and became incontinent on the spot.
Those officials who had never violated the law were frightened to watch the execution.
In this world, has there ever been a ruler who used such a method to massacre officials who indulged their own interests and violated the law on a large scale?
This scale is probably unprecedented.
At the same time, they also clearly realized how iron-blooded and ruthless Jun Wuxie's methods were, without any concern for the consequences.
The execution lasted for a long time and was not completed until the third day.
Each batch of those who were imprisoned had to go through a whole day of torture. While they maintained their senses, Jun Wuxie asked Xiaojieshu to secretly take action and hang their lives until all the flesh and blood on their bodies was cut off. Only their skeletons were left to breathe their last.
On the fourth day, Jun Wuxie left the execution ground.
He could not wait until the execution was over, so he explained some matters to the strong men of the Xuanyuan clan and the president of the Xuanjia Army, and then returned to Zongwang Mountain.
"How is the talent selection going?"
He asked Concubine Ling.
"Many people with lofty ideals signed up enthusiastically, and after passing the basic assessment, several batches were selected. However, if we just let them serve, I'm afraid it won't work..."
"You make unified arrangements, and then go to discuss with people from the Xuanyuan clan and let them conduct centralized training for the selected people. During the training, familiarize them with the basic conditions of each department and organization. Take your time, don't worry. Worry. Finally, if the training fails, just erase their memory of government affairs information."
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he summoned Lanlan and said to a certain room: "Keqing, it's time for us to go to the Eastern Wasteland."
"Now?"
Qin Keqing hurriedly walked out of the room, looking forward to it, nervous at the same time, and slightly nervous.
"Come up."
He sat on Lanlan's back and stretched out his hand to Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing grabbed his hand, turned over, and sat in front of him. Blue rose into the sky and disappeared into the sky like a ray of blue light.
