This night, countless royal guards shuttled back and forth in Qianjing City. This night, countless princes and ministers' homes were wailing and blood flowed like rivers!
The number of officials attending court on the second day was reduced by one-third!
It wasn't until the court announced the charges against those officials that all the officials realized that the reason those officials didn't come to court was because they colluded with the Ni people and had their homes confiscated and exterminated overnight!
These include Cao Bo, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xu Qing, the Minister of Personnel Affairs.
Yang Xun also issued an edict in the name of Li Miaoyin, appointing Du Ruhui as the Minister of Hubu and Fang Xuanling as the Minister of Officials.
Although Baiguan didn't know these two people, they also knew that they were Yang Xun's people.
Under the shock of Jin Yiwei and Xuanjia Army, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling successfully took over the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel. Now two of the six departments are completely in the hands of Yang Xun.
The second-grade officials were killed when asked, and sealed when asked. For a time, everyone in the court was in danger, and they were even more afraid of Yang Xun. Of course, many officials were dissatisfied with Yang Xun.
Qianjing City, Tianxian Tower.
As the largest restaurant in Qianjing City, the boss of Tianxian Tower has always been a high-minded person, but at this moment, he had to stand respectfully outside Room No. 1, like a servant, waiting for the call of his guests. .
There is no other reason than that the people gathered in Room No. 1 of Tianzi today are all officials of the third rank or above in the imperial court, including four ministers from the six departments alone!
In the private room, Luo Yongzhi sat at the head of the table, expressionless and silent, tapping his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Prime Minister, please say something. Are you going to let Yang Xun continue to be so rampant? He killed Cao Bo today, and he may kill you and me tomorrow." said the Minister of Industry.
Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate nodded and agreed: "Yes, this Yang Xun is cruel and ruthless. He doesn't respect us veterans like his father at all. Maybe one day the knife will be placed on our necks."
These two people had previously wanted Yang Xun to lead troops to Beijing, but now they were afraid. They had never expected Yang Xun to be so ruthless.
Yang Xun had only been in Beijing for a few days, but he had already killed so many ministers, and his group of imperial guards were even more capable of eating people without spitting out their bones!
At first, they deliberately curry favor with Yang Xun, but now they understand that Yang Xun doesn't look down on them at all. No matter how much they beg for mercy or how much they give Yang Xun gold, silver and jewelry, Yang Xun still kills them on demand!
Cui Bowen, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, sneered and said disdainfully: "I have repeatedly opposed Yang Xun's entry into the capital at the beginning, but you people regard me as your enemy and suppress me everywhere. Now you know you are afraid? It's time!"
"Cui Bowen, stop saying sarcastic words. With your stinky and stubborn character, if I were Yang Xun, I would kill you first!" the Minister of Rites said angrily.
Cui Bowen snorted coldly, looking indifferent.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice said to smooth things over.
"Brother Cui, how about your Ministry of War issuing a document asking Wu Qi, the country prince, to lead an army back to the capital to compete with Yang Xun? Or write a letter to the King of Qin and the King of Qi and ask them to come to the capital to serve the King?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yongzhi couldn't help but shook his head secretly. These ministers were really fooling around for their own interests!
"Absurd!" Cui Bowen yelled angrily and stood up from his seat.
"Leave aside the fact that the Ministry of War secretly issued a document, which was a major crime against the nine tribes. If the country prince leads the troops back to the capital, who will resist King Pingnan? If you withdraw in one word, the people will suffer!"
"As for King Qin and King Qi, what good things do you think they are? Do you think having Yang Xun as a father is not enough, so you want to find two more fathers for you?"
"You..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice flushed with anger, but was speechless for a moment to refute.
"Prime Minister, please say something!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry looked at Luo Yongzhi.
"What's there to say? Don't you all know what the temperament of Cao Bo and others is? How much money has he embezzled from the Ministry of Household Affairs over the years? Now he has an affair with a Ni country man. Judging from the facts, he should be killed!"
Luo Yongzhi said, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone present: "If you want to save your own life, do your job well and stop engaging in these evil ways. As long as you are dedicated to serving the country and the people, I don't believe that Yang I’m going to kill you when I’m full!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
At this moment, a seventy-year-old man slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily: "Yang Xun has killed so many people, is this the end of it?"
Seeing this person, no one in the room answered.
This man is the Marquis of Jinchuan. Although he is no longer involved in government affairs, he is quite prestigious in the military.
Everyone knows that Cao Bo was promoted by him in the first place, and Cao Bo has given him many benefits secretly over the years.
"The Yulin Guard Commander is my nephew, so you should be optimistic about my methods! I must let Yang Xun..."
Before he finished speaking, the door to the private room was suddenly kicked open, and at the same time a human head flew in and landed on the round table.
"Isn't this the Commander of the Habayashi Guards?"
I don't know who shouted, and then Marquis Jinchuan saw clearly that the head in front of him belonged to his nephew.
Marquis Jinchuan was shocked and looked out the door. He saw Qinglong walking in with a team of royal guards with a sneer, and his eyes fell on him.
"Marquis Jinchuan, you were not included in last night's house raid list. It was my commander's mistake. No, I just went to your house and killed your whole family. What do you want my prince to do? Speak louder, my commander. I didn’t hear clearly!”
"You..." Marquis Jinchuan was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but glance at the head on the table again.
Qinglong said that his whole family was killed, which is probably true.
Qinglong smiled, walked behind Marquis Jinchuan, pressed Marquis Jinchuan's shoulders, pressed him down on his seat, and said in his ear: "You are still a veteran of three dynasties, why can't you see the situation clearly? Marquis Jinchuan, I am The commander will send you on your way!"
As he spoke, Qinglong grabbed Marquis Jinchuan's hair, and at the same time, he had a dagger in his hand and wiped Marquis Jinchuan's neck cleanly.
Blood spurted out instantly, and the official sitting opposite was sprayed in the face.
But at this time, no one dared to move, and everyone's face was full of fear.
Cui Bowen watched the scene and moved his lips to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
Qinglong wiped the dagger, glanced at the officials present, and said with a smile: "Our prince said that as long as you are obedient, the prince will not embarrass you, but if anyone dares to play tricks behind your back... they are the two of them. Your fate!"
As he spoke, Qinglong threw out the dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly into the head of the Minister of Punishment.
This man had just said that he wanted the country prince to return to the capital, and that he wanted the King of Qin and King Qi to come to the capital to serve as king, and he was already on Qinglong's death list.
"Okay, I have official duties to attend to, so I won't disturb you all. Please eat and drink well!"
After saying that, Qinglong led Jin Yiwei out of the private room and closed the door of the private room.
In the private room, the officials looked at the heads on the table, and then at the two people who were already dead. They didn't dare to take a breath...
