Tang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded slightly in relief.
If he hadn't been busy with his affairs, he would have gone to the prison to interrogate that Hu Ren!
Tang Che has long reached the age where he should listen to politics, but he has been traveling abroad. It is time for his youngest son to participate in these political affairs and share his worries.
In this way, he will soon be able to turn his back on everything outside the window!
The ministers' eyes fell on the two people who entered the hall. The well-informed ones were already talking in low voices with their colleagues around them.
Lin Zhengyuan had never met Hu Ren, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Father, Hu Ren has confessed that the crossbows collected from Shao County were all obtained from King Linan. King Linan has connections all over the Qin Dynasty. He is just one of them who helped King Linan transport arms and weapons. That one The box of crossbows forged by the Ministry of War has not yet been shipped out, and this is a token of negotiation."
Tang Che went straight to the point without saying a word, but it made Lin Zhengyuan beside him panic.
Staring at the token in Tang Che's hand, he felt that his official career had come to an end.
Noticing that Hu Ren was covered in blood without a piece of good flesh, I really wanted to break his neck.
If only the third prince accuses him of corruption, he still has a slight chance of winning. Now the crossbow issue is considered complete...
No! He is not willing to give in!
"No wonder there are frequent reports of damage to weapons in the army. It turns out that someone is stealing weapons from the army!" Lin Zhengyuan's eyes were fierce, and he stepped forward and grabbed Hu Ren's neck, "Tell me! Who did it?!"
Hu Ren was already half-dead, but now Lin Zhengyuan was holding his fate by the throat. He didn't even have the strength to struggle. He rolled his eyes and was about to die.
[This is to kill people and silence them in front of so many people! 】
[Yingbao loves watching dog-eat-dog scenes the most! 】
Ying Bao stretched his neck excitedly.
Tang Che originally wanted to watch indifferently, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Ying Bao's little head that was not bothered by the excitement, and felt a little funny in his heart.
After all, Tang Yuan had been the emperor for so many years, so he naturally knew the twists and turns of the Minister of War. Although he did want to kill Hu Ren, he still needed Hu Ren as a witness. He picked up the tea cup on the case and threw it towards Lin Zheng. Yuan's wrist.
Hu Ren, who could breathe, was so frightened that he rolled and crawled away from Lin Zhengyuan. He felt that the bones in his neck were about to be crushed.
All civil and military officials in the Qin Dynasty were martial arts practitioners. Lin Zhengyuan, as Minister of the Ministry of War, was extremely skilled in martial arts. It was easy to kill him.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! The guilty minister Hu Renzhao! He will attack anything! The guilty minister is willing to perform meritorious deeds! I beg the Emperor not to kill the guilty minister. The guilty minister has all the evidence of corruption by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Hu Ren Meng banged his head on the ground, fearing that his life would be lost if he kowtowed.
Ying Bao was held in Tang Yuan's arms and looked at Hu Ren coldly.
[This Lao Deng must know who my biological father is. My mistress has said that my biological father has a close relationship with King Linan. What is the relationship? 】
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Hu Ren. There was an undercurrent in his eyes, thinking that all the missing children Yi'er found in Shao County were found by Hu Ren.
What exactly does King Linan want to do?
I can’t figure it out, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Let’s deal with the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War first. These three people together are over a hundred years old!
"Lin Zhengyuan, have I indulged you too much these years?" Tang Yuan closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, "I made you forget that I just ascended the throne."
Lin Zhengyuan's anxiety intensified. He thought that when Tang Yuan first ascended the throne, he killed dozens of important court officials with his own hands to suppress the imperial court.
He was once called a tyrant.
However, Tang Yuan did not fight violence with violence later, making them forget that Tang Yuan came to power by stepping on the head of the rebel.
"I don't dare!"
Tang Yuan sat Ying Bao on the dragon chair, slowly walked down the steps, and stopped next to Lin Zhengyuan.
The ministers below were extremely shocked when they saw that the emperor actually let Ying Bao sit on the dragon throne.
They all couldn't help but speculate that if the emperor only doted on the eldest princess who had just been found recently, wouldn't this be too doting? !
Could it be that the emperor really planned to let this three-year-old milk baby inherit the throne? !
After all, this little baby was only three years old and was being held by the emperor to listen to the government. How could other princes have this honor?
Lin Zhengyuan's head was close to the ground, and he saw a bright yellow light from the corner of his eye. An innate pressure was like a huge stone that made him unable to breathe.
"Back then, those rebellious ministers and traitors attacked the late Emperor. I stepped on their heads to sit on this throne step by step. At that time, I was only eighteen, and my youngest brother was not even ten years old."
Tang Yuan raised his foot and stepped on Lin Zhengyuan's back. With a little force, he fell to the ground.
Lin Zhengyuan felt that the foot on his back was as heavy as a thousand pounds, almost crushing his internal organs.
There was a roar in his ears, and Tang Yuan's voice suddenly sounded far and near.
"If it's only twenty years old, it's just that my young brother is ignorant. You are a few years older than me. You were all promoted by me. You really think that I am no longer useful in my old age, don't you?"
This sound was mixed with 50% of the internal energy, making everyone in the hall deafen and kneel down.
"My emperor, calm down!"
Tang Che and the other three brothers were also out of breath under the pressure. Only Ying Bao looked at them in confusion on the dragon chair.
[Is this the innate destiny of the emperor? So majestic! He is much more majestic than when he first returned to the palace! At that time, Uncle Li Gui was sucking the dragon's energy and his body was almost empty! 】
Tang Che and Tang Yi seemed to know something terrible. Their eyes met in the air, and they saw the same complexity in each other's eyes.
Tang Feng's eyes widened even more, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Tang Yuan and Ying Bao.
But my heart was boiling like a boiling kettle.
It was rare that the three of them came up with the same idea.
The father was sucked into the dragon's energy by his eldest son!
As for the suction method, Tang Feng understood it instantly, and Tang Che and Tang Yi also vaguely guessed it.
But the rest of the people in the hall didn't know what was going on. They only felt the pressure from the emperor stagnant for a moment, and suddenly it became even stronger.
When Lin Zhengyuan thought he was about to see the King of Hell, he finally felt the boulder on his back move away.
"I will give you one more chance. Should you confess yourself or let my prince list your crimes one by one?"
Hu Ren, who was hanging with only one breath left, was shaken by Tang Yuan's coercion and became unconscious. He was in a state of death.
Lin Zhengyuan was paralyzed on the ground, struggling with the pain of broken bones all over his body, and was kneeling in front of Tang Yuan.
After Tang Feng confessed to all the crimes he had listed before, he closed his eyes in despair: "I am willing to die to apologize. I only hope that the emperor will treat my parents well..."
"Are you sure you have finished confessing your sins?" Tang Yuan looked down at him, his eyes full of contempt, "I haven't seen my little brother for four years. When was the last time Lin Aiqing saw him?"
Lin Zhengyuan's throat rolled, and when his eyes touched Tang Yuan's sharp eyes, he seemed to be seen from the inside out.
"Since Aiqing doesn't want to speak, let the one who is willing to speak speak." Tang Yuan slowly swept past the ministers who were pretending to be quail, and finally locked on Hu Ren, who was lying on the ground unconscious.
Xiao Lizi understood instantly, picked up Hu Ren from the ground and fired his bow left and right, but Hu Ren came to his senses within a moment.
"The Emperor asked you to tell everything you know. If you dare to hide anything, be careful with your head!"
Hu Ren kowtowed like pounding garlic and responded quickly.
"Ten years ago, the criminal came to the capital to take the imperial examination, and accidentally met his current wife, who was the concubine of the Minister of Hubu. The Minister of Hubu saw the talent of the criminal, so he offered him an official position. …”
From how to sit on the position of county leader, to how to help the Minister of the Ministry of Finance launder a large sum of silver and make a profit from it.
"...That large sum of gold and silver jewelry seemed to have been obtained from the third prince's mother clan. The guilty minister did not dare to ask more questions, but he was also careful and kept some of the jewelry. Now it has been confiscated by the second prince. , you can find someone to verify it!”
Then there were the disaster relief silver issued by the court over the years, as well as rice, flour, grain and oil, which only came into his hands for a few hundred taels each time. He had to help the Ministry of Household Affairs wash the disaster relief silver into gold and silver jewelry, and mixed the rice, flour, grain and oil with sand and soil and sold them at high prices.
Everyone listened to Hu Ren's detailed testimony, and everyone felt a little guilty.
Over the years, the imperial court has become entangled, so how clean can each minister's hands be?
"It was just money laundering at the beginning, but I got very little profit from it. Later I heard that salt smugglers made money quickly, so I followed him a few times. Perhaps because of his reliable work, I was introduced to a deeper level..."
"That's when I discovered that there were actually smugglers of arms and weapons! As they grew bigger and bigger, they were valued by King Linan's men, and they made more and more money. Every smuggling operation was a single route, and they obeyed orders but not the people! But Princess Qingzhu will come to Shao County, the guilty minister really doesn’t know! The guilty minister is blind!"
Tang Che kicked Hu Ren to the ground and picked up his collar with scarlet eyes. He hated Hu Ren mentioning his imperial sister the most.
God knows how much strength he used to restrain himself from breaking his neck.
"You are indeed blind, why don't I let you get what you want."
Before Hu Ren could realize the meaning of Tang Che's words, he saw two fingers stabbing directly into his eyes, and then he fell into endless darkness.
Having lost his vision, his senses were magnified several times, and the pain from his eyes and every part of his body was tormenting him.
Everyone was shocked by Tang Che's bloodthirsty appearance.
There are those who are timid and want to run out of the Jinluan Palace immediately, stay in the mansion and never serve as officials in the court again.
[Shoot quickly and accurately, Yingbao has learned! 】
[But there are still those children who have not yet explained it! I only know that King Linnan wants to sacrifice children, but I don’t know what purpose King Linnan wants to achieve with his sacrifice! 】
Ying Bao stretched out her neck on the dragon chair, her eyes unblinking for fear of missing any good scene.
Unfortunately, Hu Ren's back was turned to her, so she couldn't see Hu Ren's appearance. Even when Tang Che made a move, Tang Yuan stepped forward to block Ying Bao's sight.
Lin Zhengyuan and other ministers could see it clearly.
