These people are all dignitaries of the empire, including the imperial prime minister.
The King of Qin beheaded him when he said so.
In a fit of rage, more than eighty officials were killed.
But if you don't do this, it won't work.
A king who creates a kingdom must have the aura to kill and decisively.
For the sake of the overall situation, how can a woman be so benevolent!
Wang Wei cannot be tested!
In the palace, Shang Rui could not recover his mind for a long time.
It was originally full of Chaowu, but now it was empty with only a few people left.
Ding Rong had already fallen to the ground.
Although he was not there, he was still so scared that he was covered in cold sweat.
"Lord Jiang Jiang" he stammered and shouted to Jiang Yi next to him.
The latter also swallowed hard, wiped his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform, and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Ding did not take sides easily today, otherwise, I'm afraid his head would have been lost."
"This, this" Ding Rong said anxiously: "My loyalty to the king can be seen from the sun and the moon!"
As he spoke, he stood up and trotted out of the hall, knelt down next to Xiao Yuan, stuck his butt high, and said in a trembling voice:
"The king is so majestic that I, my ministers, are frightened."
"Master Ding." Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
"Yes, I'm here." Ding Rong still knelt down.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them? Why did something like this happen again?" Xiao Yuan pretended to be displeased.
"Ah? Your Majesty, those damn traitors! They are plotting and acting with such audacity! And they have been avoiding me, so I have no way of getting the news. I hope your Majesty will learn from it," Ding Rong explained hurriedly.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness," Ding Rong shouted quickly.
At this time, the commander of the forbidden army also ran up quickly, clasped his fists and bent down and said: "Your Majesty."
This man's name was Chen Kai. He had followed Xiao Yuan in his early years. He raised troops from Liucheng and went all the way to Qinzhou, where he made many military exploits.
This is a veteran of Xiao Yuan's staff, and he is perfect to be the commander of the Forbidden Army.
"General Chen." Xiao Yuan looked at him and pointed below: "Clean these up first."
"In addition, from now on, the emperor will be restricted to the Chaoyi Hall, Chengde Hall, Bedroom, and Yueming Hall."
"Replace all the maids of the royal family again. You will supervise these matters personally and ask the female officer, Chu Ning, to coordinate and cooperate."
"No!" Chen Kai accepted the order.
After saying this, Xiao Yuan walked away, and Chen Kai also began to give instructions.
That night.
The entire Duwei battalion was dispatched.
Dong Hua's mansion.
A group of people wearing brocade clothes and official boots broke into the door.
After breaking in, before the servant could question him, the man was already slashing with his knife, killing everyone he met!
For a time, there was a bloody storm, screams and howls one after another.
There was blood splattered everywhere on the windows and in the corridor.
In the light of the dark night, shadows chopped down by sharp blades can be seen at any time.
This was a mass killing, and it happened not just here.
I don’t know how many people disappeared overnight.
The next day, the body was cleaned up, not even a trace of blood could be found, as if nothing had happened.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Xiao Yuan was discussing things with Liu Yuzhi.
“How is our country’s talent pool progressing?”
Liu Yuzhi said truthfully: "Your Majesty, the land of Qin has been suffering from bitter cold for many years. Compared with other countries in the world, it has the least number of scholars. In places like Ling and Xuan, there are not many scholars. The system for selecting officials is simple, but Qin State does not have such conditions."
"There are also disadvantages, and I am not unaware of them. Like the Xuan Kingdom, officials are selected by the county governors who recommend scholars, and they are almost immediately appointed. The county governors are recommended by senior officials above. In this way, one level after another, A certain minister can be said to have disciples and former officials all over the officialdom. How can he not have officials to protect each other and form cliques and private parties?" Xiao Yuandao.
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that the issue of scholars is not the issue of selecting officials." Liu Yuzhi said sternly.
"Alas." Xiao Yuan sighed and looked at him helplessly: "What about Shu?"
"Although there are many talented people in Shu, there is no way to become an official."
"It's still a problem of schools." Xiao Yuan pointed out directly: "Even if we order the governors of the counties in Shu to step up the construction of schools, every county must have one. Young men who want to study cannot live without a place, and scholars who want to gain fame can't There is no place for exams, so this issue has become the top priority at the moment."
Liu Yuzhi nodded: "The king's words are reasonable, but who will be responsible for this?"
"Of course it's you." Xiao Yuan said bluntly.
"This." Liu Yuzhi was a little anxious: "But your Majesty, it is official business of the Prime Minister's Office."
"Huh? You are the prime minister! I am the prime minister of Qin." Xiao Yuan interrupted him with a smile.
This time it was Liu Yuzhi's turn to be speechless.
Yes, this prime minister is concerned about the country and the people, is very tired, and always has things he can't finish.
To be honest, without him, not only would Qin not be where it is today, but Xiao Yuan would probably have died of exhaustion long ago.
His contribution is not in the frontline battlefield, but in the country's internal affairs.
To put it simply, without him, Xiao Yuan would not dare to start a war!
This shows the importance of its location.
Looking at this founding hero, Xiao Yuan smiled again and said: "Prime Minister, although there are many things to do, don't be too tired and pay attention to your health."
Liu Yuzhi smiled bitterly, Your Majesty's words sounded really nice.
After the official discussion was over, Liu Yuzhi bowed and left. Immediately afterwards, Liang Yuan asked to see him.
"Is everything done?"
"Go back to your Majesty, everything has been dealt with." Liang Yuan's words were concise and to the point.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded.
Liang Yuan added: "But your Majesty, I have a humble request. I hope your Majesty will grant me your permission."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
Liang Yuan organized his speech and said cautiously: "I hope that Hu Wei from the Wuwei Mansion can be appointed to serve in the Duwei Camp."
"Is it Hu Wei who can handle Sun Yi's matter this time?"
"Yes." Liang Yuan said: "This person has quite some skills. The Wuwei Mansion is an official office that guards the security of a place and specializes in arresting murderers and thieves. The Duwei Camp is mainly responsible for arresting assassinations. Most people are dead soldiers and assassins, so we need such interrogation talents, but if they are placed in Wuwei Mansion, they will not be of much use. I hope your Majesty will understand."
What he said makes sense. Wuwei Mansion investigates cases and catches culprits. It is true that there are very few cases of torture to extract confessions. However, Duweiying is just the opposite.
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, but you still have to tell Ye Cheng that it is my intention."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liang Yuan beamed with joy.
Xiao Yuan had dinner at Zhong Duoduo's place that day.
But before he even moved his chopsticks, a letter was delivered to him.
The letter was written by King Xuan himself, telling Xiao Yuan that he would arrive in Qin soon.
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly after looking at it, and could only tell Zhong Duoduo that the trip might have to be postponed.
"Yes, yes, you go and accompany that Prince Xuan, I heard she is a great beauty!"
She looked furious.
Xiao Yuan said amusedly: "It's so pointless for you to be so jealous, isn't it?"
"Who is jealous! Humph!"
