Chapter 14: I just want to make the world panic!
Corrupt officials were put to death one by one, and they were dragged out of the hall and had their heads chopped off.
Zhao Gao held the imperial decree and quickly left the Golden Luan Hall.
What he will do next will be a huge earthquake in the Ming Dynasty.
And this kind of thing also made the court officials tremble with fear.
Because this time the involvement is indeed too wide, and many of these people are important officials in the court.
Especially the second-rank officer.
In the history of Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, no one has killed like this.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao's ruthless means and strength are too shocking!
...
Soon after!
Da da da!
The sound of footsteps was clearly visible, and all civil and military officials were silent, with their heads lowered, and no one dared to speak.
Zhao Gao walked into the hall with quicksand and the arrested people, and knelt down.
His tone was extremely respectful, and he said: "Your Majesty, all the remnants of corrupt officials have been successfully captured, and none of them have been missed on the list, and they have all been suppressed outside the Meridian Gate!"
"Um!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then looked at all the civil and military officials, and said, "You all follow me to have a look!"
As soon as this remark came out, all civil and military officials took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
Outside the noon gate.
At this time, the sky was overcast and cloudy, just like the atmosphere of the palace today, oppressive and heavy.
The family members of corrupt officials were escorted outside the main hall, and some generals were counting the number and names of key criminals.
"Your Majesty, all criminals have been identified."
shouted the general.
Zhu Houzhao's gaze swept over, and they were all men, women and children with disheveled hair, and they were all trembling.
Some timid ones are so frightened that their eyes are glazed over, like a fool.
The rest lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at the emperor, and even couldn't bear to cry.
But they did not dare to speak loudly, but wept in low voices, for fear of offending the emperor.
This is not just fear of the majesty of the emperor!
It is a way of fearing death!
You know, beheading is just the easiest kind.
I offended the emperor, what should I do if I exchange it for you?
"very good!"
Zhu Houzhao's expression was indifferent, without the slightest pity.
He looked at all the civil and military officials of the court, and said coldly: "Give me a good look, this is the end of corruption and bribery!"
As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials felt chills in their hearts, and they all looked forward with complicated expressions.
These people in front of them are the family members of many high-ranking officials. Among them, they used to be powerful and even higher than them, as well as the descendants of the founding hero.
Throughout the history books, I have never seen so many family members of high-ranking officials and nobles being imprisoned together. This is too ruthless.
Especially when it is punished for the crime of corruption and accepting bribes, how can it be killed like this?
In such a situation, the founding emperor did it once!
"This is the emperor's disarming power when he ascends the throne!"
Some officials felt emotional.
"Zhu Houzhao is really crazy.
"It involves too much!"
"Why is this!"
Civil and military officials have complicated thoughts.
At this time, more than 30 family members of the foul in the first row were pushed onto the stage crying.
Zhao Gao personally supervised the inspection, "Cut!"
This move of his surprised everyone.
This fellow!
I am determined to follow the emperor!
But think again, this guy is a eunuch!
If he doesn't follow the emperor, who can he follow?
This situation has also caused many officials to complain.
In the days to come, it will be difficult.
But!
You Zhao Gao, are you really not afraid?
You must know that the relationship between aristocratic families, civil and military officials is deeply involved.
Although this group of officials fell, there are more people alive.
Naturally, these people dare not resent the emperor, but don't they hate Zhao Gao who is executing this time?
I'm afraid it's not because I hate it so much that my teeth are itchy, I can't wait to swallow its flesh and gnaw its bones!
He will definitely find a way to bring down Zhao Gao.
"Shua!!!"
Swish! ! ! "
Swish! ! ! "
Dozens of heads flew up, scarlet blood scattered all over the ground, and at the same time, all the officials were so shocked that they stopped breathing.
The atmosphere that had already been suppressed to the extreme became even more heavy.
Even unfit to vomit on the spot, the timid official passed out directly.
"A bunch of trash!"
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and waved his hands casually.
Immediately, eunuchs stepped forward and dragged down the officials who had vomited and fainted.
"Continue to the next batch!"
Zhao Gao looked up at the emperor, and immediately ordered again.
"Shua!!!"
Swish! ! ! "
Swish! ! ! "
"cut!!!"
"cut!!!"
"cut!!!"
Batch after batch!
The big heads fell to the ground one after another.
From time to time, there is already a river of blood!
Soon it was the turn of women and children to be pushed up.
This made many civil and military officials couldn't bear to turn their heads away, unwilling to look any further.
"Keep killing!"
Zhu Houzhao said lightly.
There was no expression on his face, and even if there was, it was just indifference.
Although he is not a butcher, but for the country of Daming, for the people of Daming, these people must be killed.
Don't be harsh, how can you be an emperor? !
Zhu Houzhao has always been very clear about this matter.
From the moment he inherited the throne, kindness has been a luxury.
Only in this way can everyone be in awe!
The emperor, it is impossible to have the kindness of a woman!
What's more, when these officials take bribes and take bribes, they should know the consequences when they exploit the common people.
Karma is all!
At this time, I can still have mercy, I can only say that I am really stupid!
In just a moment, the outside of the hall was already stained red with blood.
The faces of all civil and military officials were pale, and some people even began to tremble and their legs were weak.
Although Zhu Houzhao's move was to kill the family members of corrupt officials.
But none of these people were involved in the car?
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold!
"Back to the hall!"
Zhu Houzhao sensed everyone's thoughts, and he didn't intend to continue watching, the degree of shock was enough.
When he returned to the main hall, he sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the officials with cold eyes.
"Do you think I'm cruel?"
"That's right, since ancient times, the crime of corruption seems to be wrong, and even these people's ancestors have contributed to Daming after all."
"But I want to tell you that corruption and bribery are also a great crime!"
"However, if you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you have meritorious service, you will naturally be rewarded!"
"Zhao Gao has made great contributions in participating in the siege this time. From today onwards, he will manage the West Factory and be the governor of the West Factory!"
"Humans and cats are also meritorious. From today onwards, I will be the governor of the East Factory!"
"From now on, the duty of the East Factory and the West Factory is to monitor the world for me!"
"Do you have any objections to this!?"
Zhu Houzhao spoke plainly, and after he finished speaking, he turned his attention to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is holy!"
At this moment, all civil and military officials have long been scared out of their wits and dare not refute.
You know, the head of the Meridian Gate is already a lesson for the past, and the blood has not been cleaned up yet!
Who dares to object?
Who can disagree?
I'm afraid I don't want to court death!
"Human cat! Zhao Gao! Such power!"
Li Si frowned, but did not refute anything.
People like Changsun Wuji, Pei Ju, and Yan Song also had the same thoughts as him.
In the end, they all chose to shut up!
Because of the various countries, no one like them in the court has been completely in power.
not to mention!
No one knows whether Zhu Houzhao has his own evidence in his hands, and no one dares to bet on this possibility.
Once you make a wrong bet, not to mention your wealth and life, the forces behind you will also be uprooted.
not worth!
Anyway, the fire didn't burn on him.
