Following Tang Yang's order, it was issued to the mansions of officials above the fifth rank.
All the officials who were related to the aristocratic families became nervous.
Tang Yang had been patient for many days without any response, and today he suddenly asked them to go to Chaoyang Palace to discuss matters.
The purpose must be to deal with the many chaos happening in front of us.
They were already feeling weak, but when they thought of Tang Yang's power in the past, they were not afraid that it was fake.
However, when they thought about the current situation, they felt at ease.
Although they are also secretly adding fuel to the fire, leading the people to fight against the emperor and reform the imperial examination system, but at present, in addition to these, the emperor also has to deal with external forces, and it is the time to recruit people.
Tang Yang would never do anything to them even if what they did happened.
There is even a high probability that the reform of the imperial examination system will be stopped and the government will be unified to the outside world.
otherwise!
Faced with the pressure from the countries that all had Hongyi cannons and the pressure from Emperor Huang Tian caused by Dugu Bingyu.
If the Xia Kingdom continues to be in turmoil!
Sooner or later, the Xia Kingdom will be destroyed!
Think of this!
Many officials felt completely at ease, and were even more certain that when Tang Yang asked them to go this time, he must be submissive and at least suspend the reform of the imperial examination system.
Half an hour later!
All the officials with rank five or above went to Chaoyang Palace.
But after Tang Yang arrived, they didn't see Dou Yingde's presence.
"My dear friends, are you looking for Dou Yingde?"
Tang Yang's majestic voice sounded.
Officials related to the aristocratic families have chosen to remain silent. Although they feel that the emperor has found them this time and will subdue them, they also know that the emperor is very disgusted and forms cliques for personal gain. If they express now that they are looking for Dou Yingde, It might make the emperor think that they move around a lot in private.
If you don't cause trouble for them now, you might find trouble with them after the current matter is over.
"Your Majesty, I wonder where Mr. Dou is?"
Su Xinting stood up and asked knowingly.
Most people were still silent, but all of them pricked up their ears.
Tang Yang clapped his hands: "Bring Dou Aiqing here!"
next moment!
Dou Yingde was kicked by Lingyun into the Chaoyang Palace.
At this time, Dou Yingde's hair was disheveled, his expression was depressed, and he had long lost his power as prime minister.
His eyes were lifeless, as if he had no soul.
See him like this!
The officials with him were all shocked.
They had no idea what was going on with Dou Yingde?
"Dou Aiqing, tell me, what crime have you committed?" Tang Yang ordered.
crime?
The hearts of the officials who were with him suddenly sank!
Is it possible that Tang Yang knew about the fact that they were adding fuel to the flames and making people oppose the imperial examination?
Want to cause trouble for them?
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?
"The crime committed by the guilty minister was the heinous crime of treason. It was Wei Chen who gave the secret of the Hongyi Cannon to Dugu Bingyu. Wei Chen wanted to cooperate with the Kuyan Organization to make everyone in the world think that His Majesty has no foundation at all. Without the help of the immortals, the people of the world will lose their faith in the Great Xia Immortal Lord, and the world will no longer believe in your majesty, so they will rebel against your majesty and let our Xia country perish!"
Dou Yingde's voice was emotionless, as if it were a robot.
As soon as these words came out!
It's nothing more than a depth charge.
The explosion directly shocked everyone present!
They all looked at Dou Yingde in disbelief!
Tang Yang looked at their reactions and then asked, "Why did you do such a rebellious thing?"
"Your Majesty's implementation of the reform of the imperial examination system has offended our aristocratic families. The wealthy families are looking at the interests of the squires and landlords. The guilty minister is the representative of the aristocratic family. In order to protect our interests, the guilty minister has to resist!" Dou Yingde replied again! .
Su Xinting, who was standing aside, was a little surprised. He knew that the person who leaked the secret of the Hongyi Cannon was not Dou Yingde, but the emperor who forced it on Dou Yingde.
Dou Yingde has been resisting, but now, why is he so obedient?
Could it be that the emperor had given him certain conditions?
Thinking about this, Tang Yang asked another question: "Dou Yingde, do you have other accomplices?"
Everyone in Dou Yingde's group panicked.
They did resist the emperor and reform the imperial examination system, but they were far from committing rebellion!
If Dou Yingde bites randomly, wouldn't they all be pulled into the pit?
Before coming here, I thought the emperor was here to subdue the weak, but I never thought he was here to cause trouble for them.
"There is no other accomplice, Wei Chen did it alone!"
To their relief, Dou Yingde did not bite randomly.
While pleasantly surprised, he heard Tang Yang say: "It seems that everyone agrees with what Dou Yingde said?"
Li Qingyan and Su Xinting secretly said that the emperor's move was really good. This was a disguised form of forcing them to agree that Dou Yingde was the one who leaked the secret of Hongyi Cannon.
If you don't agree, then you are a complicit person like Dou Yingde!
How dare people like Dou Yingde say they disagree!
They all nodded and said: "Your Majesty, all ministers agree!"
"In this case, I will punish Dou Yingde in accordance with the laws of the Xia Kingdom! This person leaked the secret of the immortal, betrayed the country, and was unforgivable, destroying the nine tribes!" Tang Yang ordered.
Although this approach will put the officials who represent the big families in danger, if the punishment is not enough, it will make them forget how Tang Yang defeated the Dugu Party, Nanlin Kingdom, and Longxi Kingdom!
How did he kill the enemy when he faced them?
As soon as this order comes out!
What suddenly appeared in their minds was what Tang Yang did when he faced the Dugu Party!
If you find an opportunity, kill if you can.
Everyone who was related to the aristocratic family had a chill on their necks.
They were all glad that Dou Yingde was quite particular and didn't bite randomly.
Otherwise, if the emperor's eyes are red, none of them may be able to escape.
Su Xinting found it even more strange. The emperor wanted to wipe out all the nine Dou Yingde clans, so why was he still so cooperative?
Looking at their reactions, Tang Yang ordered again: "Tomorrow at noon, Dou Yingde will be executed in public. At that time, I will show the world the new immortal weapon given to me by the Great Xia Immortal Lord!
in addition!
When the sun rises tomorrow, I don’t want to see any more people kneeling in front of the palace gate begging for reform of the imperial examination system! "
Say it!
Tang Yang left directly.
Then, Cao He shouted and retreated.
Everyone who was related to aristocratic families had ugly expressions.
Tang Yang's last words were obviously telling them that he knew who was fueling the fire, and he was giving them an ultimatum.
If you want to continue!
He will take action on them!
Their necks felt cold again.
After the dynasty ended, they immediately gathered together to discuss what to do next.
"We have never known about the cooperation between Dou Yingde and Ku Yan's organization before, but His Majesty is aware of it, which means that everything we do is under His Majesty's supervision. If he is cruel, he might We were all killed!"
"Why do I feel that Dou Yingde was wronged by His Majesty? We are Dou Yingde's confidants. If he has the secret of Hongyi Cannon, he should share it with us. How come he has kept it hidden until now?!"
"Yes, it's really strange! The cooperation with the Ku Yan Organization involves a lot of things. If Dou Yingde doesn't tell me, let's forget it!
If he knew the secret of Hongyi Cannon, he would definitely tell me! "
"The emperor must have wronged Dou Yingde!"
"The emperor's purpose in doing this is to make people think that the secret of the Hongyi Cannon was given to Dugu Bingyu by Dou Yingde, not by Emperor Huang Tian!"
"Yeah!"
A group of people all agreed!
"Everyone, if His Majesty deliberately wishes Dou Yingde, wouldn't this matter be even more terrifying? If it doesn't prove more clearly that the Emperor can do anything to achieve his goal, and if necessary, he can also kill us all. Especially if he reaches the end of his rope, do you think he will let those who resist him be buried with him?"
As soon as this statement came out!
The scene fell silent instantly.
Those who originally thought about confronting Tang Yang in the imperial examination system suddenly realized that if Tang Yang didn't care what the people thought, he could indeed kill them if he wanted to!
And when they faced the masters around Tang Yang chasing him, none of them could escape...
It took a long time before someone said, "Then what should we do next? Can't we just give up on the reform of the imperial examination?"
