"cut."
The emperor's voice was calm yet filled with irresistible majesty.
The long swords in the hands of the royal guards were raised high, shining brightly in the sun.
Most of the three party officials kneeling on the ground had frightened expressions and earth-colored faces. Some of them collapsed on the ground, but were pulled up by the Jin Yiwei beside them.
There are those who cry loudly, those who faint, those who are stunned, and those who convulse.
"Emperor, if you kill me, there will be no peace from now on!" Daoren, who was still able to speak, shouted loudly, but his head was pressed tightly.
Shi De's face turned pale and he loudly announced the name of Buddha.
Xu Wen sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
Ru Lin's long knives all fell down, blood spattered everywhere, and heads rolled down one after another.
The long street suddenly became silent.
Whether it was Pei Zhong, Yuan Chengtao and other civil and military officials present, the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, or the guards of the Zhijun Army who were guarding the side, all of them were holding their breaths and staring with wide eyes. , looking at the bloody scene.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of officials from the three parties, who could shake the world by just stamping their feet, whether from aristocratic families or eunuchs, were all beheaded, leaving only hundreds of corpses like wooden stakes. And the head rolled to the ground.
Xu Wen, the former chief academician of the cabinet, still had a wry smile on his face. He didn't know whether he was mocking himself for pretending to be crazy or acting foolishly, or mocking the world's noble families for underestimating the emperor.
Kill, really kill!
The emperor killed all three party officials on the spot.
Even the officials from the nine and ten surnames of the Dongzhu Party, the officials from the aristocratic families who had to be courteous to Enhai at the beginning, and the envoys from the three major martial arts holy places, were all executed.
People who are familiar with the heritage and power of the Nine Surnames and Ten Clan all understand at this moment that the world is bound to be in turmoil!
The hundreds of thousands of people present in the capital felt a sense of gratification and hatred in their hearts, and their respect for the emperor was even greater.
The people also understand the horror of the nine surnames and ten surnames. The legends of these thousand-year-old families have always been circulated.
It is said that the Ling Emperor's rebellion is closely related to these aristocratic families.
Nowadays, if the saint can achieve such a feat, the people admire him even more.
In the silence, Pei Zhong took a deep breath, took the lead in kneeling to the ground facing the dragon chariot, and shouted:
"Congratulations to the Emperor for slaying the rebels. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. This is a blessing to the military country and a blessing to the people of the world! Long live my Emperor! Long live my Emperor!"
He knew in his heart that there was no turning back when the bow was fired. Since the emperor started to chop off the heads of the noble family, it would be the same to chop off one hundred or ten thousand.
Once you embark on this path, you can never look back.
All he can do is to do his best to assist the British Lord and kill all the nine surnames and ten clans in the world!
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
All civil and military officials, together with the hundreds of thousands of people present, knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
For the vast majority of the people, they may not understand the sins of the nine surnames and ten clans enumerated by the emperor in the imperial edict, and even think that collecting and paying rent and being slaves and maids is a matter of course.
But they also heard the words of Gongtian Gongzhuang and the promise of seven years of tax exemption, which was fatally tempting to them.
And for many people, they just like to see beheadings, especially the heads of officials!
The bigger the official, the more addictive it is to behead, and the more sage the emperor is!
On the dragon chariot, Li Yun's imperial energy within his body did not increase much. After all, the loyalty of the people in the capital was already extremely high and they could not squeeze out any imperial energy for the time being.
But he could feel that the vast merits were coming from the void!
These merits are far greater than those obtained by killing He Xingzu and defeating the four rebels on the battlefield outside the city.
Obviously, for the existence of heaven in the dark, whether it is the existence of the three parties or the existence of the nine surnames and ten families, it brings far more disasters to the world than some rebels and rebels.
Feeling the golden light of merit that was constantly emerging in the void, Li Yun raised his hand and looked at the hidden runes of "Nantian Gate" in his palm, and saw that the runes that were already half lit were now rapidly lighting up more. In the blink of an eye, two-thirds of it was lit up.
Yes, his previous inference was correct.
In this troubled world, killing people is to save people, and ransacking homes is to accumulate virtue!
In more than ten days, the secular walker named Lian Yu from the White Lotus Sect will come to ask for blood food.
And in half a year, the country-destruction trial mentioned by Yan Ran of the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect will also be held.
Time waits for no one, you must accumulate merit and royal energy as soon as possible.
Officials from the three parties, especially those from the Dongzhu Party, are still here and can continue to save people and accumulate virtue.
He immediately drove back to the palace, but the actions against the three parties, the Yi and the three tribes, and the main criminals, the Jiu tribe, were still in progress.
It's just that the emperor is merciful after all. According to the emperor's decree, among the officials, among the three and nine tribes, all adults over the age of fourteen must be punished. Minors must be educated in the palace, and men must be purified. In the inner prison, the woman is a palace maid or an adopted daughter of an orphan or widower.
For a time, Suzaku Street in the capital was a scene of beheadings and executions every day.
They were killed until rivers of blood flowed and heads rolled.
As the saying goes, the streets of heaven trample all the bones of noble officials, and the heads of dignitaries are hung all over the camp.
In contrast, the family properties of these three party officials were confiscated into the national treasury, while the fields, manors, and food hidden in their homes were used to distribute equally to the people, to provide relief to the victims, or to pay as military pay.
Throughout the capital city and even the three roads currently controlled by the court, Gyeonggi Road, Yancha Road, and Hadong Road, the people of Li, who had been suffering from disasters, were filled with joy at this time.
After an actual inventory, the Ministry of Revenue completely discovered that officials from the three parties alone accounted for 70% of the fertile farmland in these three roads!
As for the heads hidden by these three party officials as private slaves, there are at least hundreds of thousands of them!
According to Zhao Qiyuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the three roads controlled by the court are not so concentrated in land.
In certain states and counties that have been occupied by aristocratic families for a long time, 90% of the land and properties belong to a certain aristocratic family.
A few days later, the news that the emperor had massacred officials of the three parties in the capital finally spread throughout the three provinces of Gyeonggi, Yancha, and Hedong. At the same time, it spread like a whirlwind to all parts of the Wu Kingdom.
The emperor did not hide it, but directly issued an edict to more than 40 military governors in the entire Wu Kingdom, asking them to come to Beijing to meet the saint.
Immediately, the world was shocked!
Sun Jiuling, the Jiedushi envoy of Hedong Road with 20,000 troops, evacuated from Hedong Road with 20,000 elite troops overnight and headed south, not even his own shogunate.
For a time, undercurrents surged in various feudal towns, but did not erupt for the time being, like the calm before the storm.
But in the palace, Li Yun didn't care much about these things for the time being.
Just because the runes composed of the three seal characters of Nantianmen in his palm were completely illuminated by merit.
He got a chance to return to heaven!
