As the courtiers listened to Ning Fan describing Pang Ling's evidence one by one, a look of shock gradually appeared on their faces.
This is simply... insane!
You said that we are just a little bit greedy on weekdays, but you, Pang Pang, hit you with a series of combinations of punches. Unexpectedly, I thought you were going to rebel.
"Master Shen, are all the evidence of the crime complete?"
"Um!"
Seeing Ning Fan nodding, Cheng Jinrong's face turned pale and he shouted directly: "Pang Ling, you deserve to die!"
"The Ministry of War is related to the safety of our Dali Kingdom!"
"You actually act so wantonly for your own selfish interests. What do you think of the laws of the court?"
"Kill!" Mr. Hu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, also had a murderous look on his face: "Pang Ling deserves to be killed, and some of the moths in the Ministry of War should also be killed. It is my fault. After these moths in the Ministry of War are dealt with, I will personally report to him. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Extremely hateful!"
Angry voices resounded throughout the hall. Nowadays, although the Dali court is corrupt, there will always be a few loyal and upright ministers. Otherwise, the huge Dali country will not be able to support it now. .
Pang Ling has given up resistance. After going through the previous procedures, he knows that no matter how he quibbles now, it is meaningless.
"What a wonderful play!"
There was a sound of clapping, and a beautiful figure was seen walking out of the main hall with two servants. Although the words were words of praise, the cold face made everyone present shudder.
Ning Fan was also intimidated by Mu Qingcheng's aura for a moment. He was worthy of being the emperor of a country. This power alone was still a bit intimidating.
I just don’t know why, why didn’t I understand it last night?
"My lord, please see your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Under the leadership of Cheng Jinrong, all the ministers knelt down and saluted, but Ning Fan slightly arched his hands, somewhat standing out from the crowd.
"Get flat!"
"Master Shen, why don't you kneel to me?"
The Minister of Rites finally caught Ning Fan's flaw and asked solemnly?
Ning Fan smiled slightly, looked at the Minister of Rites who asked him a question, and remained calm and silent.
"You... why are you staring at me? I have never had any illicit affairs, nor have I taken bribes and perverted the law..."
"I... really don't have it, Mr. Shen, you have to believe me!"
"I made a mistake. I... Zhao must apologize to Master Shen. If His Majesty doesn't blame you, I won't blame you anymore, okay?"
Ning Fan still stared calmly, smiling without saying a word. Mr. Zhao, the second-rank official in the court and the Minister of Rites, finally couldn't stand it any longer: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. One month ago, I accepted two hundred taels of silver from the doctor of the Ministry of Food. guilty!"
"oh!"
Mu Qingcheng looked at this ridiculous scene and was a little bit amused. He just said with a calm face: "Shen Yu has made great contributions to my Dali, but you can't go to court, praise and worship, so you don't need to give a big gift!"
"hiss!"
Suddenly, there were sounds of gasping for air in the hall. People who entered the court did not rush, praised and worshiped without name, and were even exempted from the ceremony of kneeling?
What kind of grace is this?
"Everyone, what do you think after watching today's drama?"
"Look back at the colleagues around you. How many are missing?"
Mu Qingcheng walked down the imperial steps step by step and came in front of the ministers, with a look of disappointment on his face: "The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Honglu Temple, look at these people!"
"Which one is not gray on the temples, which one is not the pillar of the imperial court, and which one is not my important minister?"
"But show me what kind of deeds these humerus ministers of mine have done behind my back and the imperial court?"
"If they are rotten, will you be clean?"
"Everyone is standing on the dry shore with high-sounding looks, but how many of you dare to pat your chest and assure me that you are worthy of the imperial court, with a strong body and a clean butt?"
Seeing Mu Qingcheng getting furious, all the courtiers shrank their heads, with a bit of fear on their faces, fearing that Her Majesty the Empress would get angry and take them down in one fell swoop.
"Everyone raise their heads and look at me!"
Mu Qingcheng held his back with one hand and paced in front of the ministers, his eyes were extremely sharp: "I can forget about the things in the past. I remember that you have worked hard for me, and for the sake of hard work without credit, I have no regrets about the things in the past. , turn a blind eye."
"Phoenix Tower, that's it for now. Except for collaborating with the enemy and treason, let's forget everything!"
"But starting from today, if anyone abuses their power, neglects their duties, takes bribes, or even harms one party, I will never tolerate it!"
"Now we are faced with great enemies, internal and external troubles. If anyone dares to defy the odds again, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."
As soon as Mu Qingcheng finished speaking, all the ministers knelt down and shouted: "I obey the order!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Informing my decree, Shi Chong, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, have all of them copied and beheaded to serve as a warning to others!"
"The Minister of Honglu Temple... wins Fu. In recognition of his hard work and merits, he will temporarily keep his head on his neck and pay a one-year salary to see the effects."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
…
After retreating from the court, the storm in the Dali court came to an end, but Master Shen, who was at the center of the storm, completely entered the courtiers' field of vision. When Shen Yu's name was mentioned, they all became frightened and their expressions changed.
In the royal study.
Ning Fan sat down with Her Majesty the Empress, looked at the dejected look on Mu Qingcheng's face, and said comfortingly: "What happened today is not a bad thing. Taking down all these black sheep now can not only promote true loyal ministers, but also good people." It can also kill chickens to scare monkeys and frighten hundreds of officials.”
"With today's scene, in a short period of time, these adults who have temporarily saved their heads should work hard and not dare to have any bad intentions."
"Um!"
Mu Qingcheng nodded slightly and looked at Ning Fan with a soft look: "You didn't even say hello to me in advance for such a big matter. If I don't come over, are you going to slaughter all my courtiers?" clean?"
"No!"
Ning Fan smiled and shook his head, his expression a little more serious: "But, having said that, there are really not many unclean people among these courtiers. Now that the court situation is in turmoil, Da Yan's threat has not been eliminated, so let's bear with them for the time being. a bit."
“When the time comes, it’s really time to straighten things out.”
"Um!"
Mu Qingcheng was surprisingly well-behaved in front of Ning Fan today, and she didn't know if it was because she was conquered last night.
"By the way, how is the war on the front line?"
"If you go north in person, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as taking back Liyang City, right?"
"I have received information that the drama commander is going to have a decisive battle with Da Yan?"
…
