Chapter 121 Execution of Orders
Chapter 121
Yugan Palace
After the Queen Mother accompanied the emperor in Yuqian Palace for half a day, she saw that it was getting late before returning to Changle Palace.
When serving Emperor Kangcheng, Wei Zili looked like he was about to speak but hesitated.
"Old man, if you have something to say, you can do this in front of me?" Emperor Kang Cheng laughed and cursed, but his voice was very low because of his physical weakness.
"Your Majesty, the main reason is that I received a note from Mr. Lu, and I don't know whether I should present it to you."
Is it him? "Did that guy Lu Desheng pass a note to complain to me?" He must have felt aggrieved when he was stopped outside when he asked to see me today.
Wei Zili hesitated.
no? Emperor Kang Cheng suppressed the smile on his face and said, "Bring me that note."
"Your Majesty, if you read this note, please don't get angry."
"Nonsense, bring it!"
Emperor Kang Cheng read the note and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Zili was so frightened that he flew forward.
"Okay, okay -" Emperor Kang Cheng laughed angrily, "You are really my good uncle!" It turned out that the immortals and Taoist priests who made alchemy for him were deliberately attracted by his uncle! Ever since he discovered that something was wrong with the elixir, he had imprisoned all the Taoist priests who helped him refine the elixir.
When he was arrested, the Taoist priests were tough and said that he had perfected his merits and was about to become an immortal.
He only replied at that time, yes, I am about to become an immortal, so I want to take you to join the immortal class.
The Taoist priests were speechless.
My dear uncle, since you want to see me off so much, how about I take you with me when I leave? We, nephew and uncle, will still be relatives even if we go underground. Holding the note, Emperor Kang Cheng thought ferociously.
Of course he doesn't believe whatever Lu Desheng says. He has his own judgment. There have been clues about this in the past.
"Wei Zili destroyed the second imperial edict in the plaque for me." This was the guarantee he left to his biological mother, but now he doesn't want to keep it!
Emperor Kang Cheng remembered that his mother disliked Lu Desheng precisely because of his younger brother. When she was young, she wanted to get closer to this younger uncle, but she really didn't like him very much.
"Yes!" Wei Zili shook his head in his heart. He knew what the imperial edict said. He could only say that the Queen Mother had suffered a great loss this time.
The Queen Mother went back to Changle Palace to rest for an hour. After thinking about it, she still didn't trust the emperor, so she went back to Yuqian Palace.
"Mother, how many people do I want to add to my funeral list? What do you think?" Emperor Kang Cheng asked.
Human burial? When the Queen Mother heard this, she said without thinking, "As an emperor, if you want people to serve you, you should."
"Even if the person you bring is somewhat inappropriate in terms of status?" Emperor Kang Cheng asked again.
The Empress Dowager said nonchalantly, "The world is so big, it's the king's land, and the land's shores, it's the king's ministers. It's their honor to be loyal to the emperor."
"That's good. I feel relieved with your words. Mother, you must remember what you said tonight."
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to disobey, the Ai family will never let him go!"
"Then I'll be relieved."
It didn't take long for the Queen Mother to regret her words.
At the right time of Youshi, Lin Ran, the leader of Zhijinwu, was summoned to the palace by Emperor Kangcheng.
About two-quarters of an hour later, he came out of Yugan Palace and couldn't help but look up at the snowy sky. This was really a snowy night and a murderous night.
Zuo Jinwu Guard Sheng Huaixing saw his leader coming out and stepped forward to greet him, "Chief, what are your orders from the emperor?"
"Here comes the big job!" Lin Ran handed him the thick fold in his hand, "On the first three pages, the people on it are all named by the emperor to be buried with him. We have to deal with this matter tonight. First, order the closure of Chang'an. I opened the gates on all four sides of the city, then arranged for personnel to guard the main roads, and finally selected the elites, brought me enough people, and set off to work! "
With this long list, the task is a bit heavy, so you have to hurry up. Lin Ranxin said.
Sheng Huaixing took the folder and opened it, and found that the first three pages were the names of the ministers of the court, and the last three pages were the reasons or edicts for their death.
This kind of twist, this kind of approach, is inexplicably familiar.
He briefly counted the list of people to be buried with him, and his tooth ached immediately. Their emperor was really good at playing, and he started taking care of people when he was about to die.
The main reason why he was still so relaxed was that he quickly scanned the list just now and found that there was no family or relatives on it, and most importantly, the names of his enemies were on it, tsk tsk.
Speaking of which, this is a bit like a life-and-death book. Anyone whose name is listed on it will not live to see tomorrow. As for them, it's like Black and White Wanchang leads the little ghost to seduce the soul, haha.
"Chief, where will our first family go?"
"Follow the order on the fold."
"Is that the home of Zhongshu Ling Xue Huaimin?"
"Walk!"
Xue Mansion
When Xue Huaimin saw Lin Ran appearing with Jin Wuwei, he knew that tonight was the day he died.
"Master Xue, the emperor has an edict!"
Xue Huaimin led his family to kneel down.
Lin Ran opened the book and read, "The emperor was entrusted with the mission of heaven. The edict said that Xue Huaimin was ordered by Zhongshu to take charge of the important affairs of the palace. He should have flaunted himself as a scholar, set an example for the ministers, set an example for future generations. Who would have expected that he would form a party for personal gain, seek personal gain, and commit repeated crimes? According to the law of the country, no one can be forgiven for his crime! I will give him a pot of poisoned wine and punish him with death! In addition, I will punish the three Xue clan for this!"
Xue Huaimin smiled miserably. His biggest crime was actually planning to kill the prince. The emperor did not point it out, but the emperor was not lenient at all.
He hates it!
He does not regret the choice he made in seeking the power of the dragon. He planned for the fourth prince, which was a matter of his own head, and he also thought about what would happen if he failed.
Politics is so cruel, either you die or I die.
However, now that the fourth prince is undefeated, he has ended up like this without waiting for the arrival of an extremely popular minister!
He hated the fourth prince for crossing the river and destroying the bridge. Yes, it was not killing the donkey to kill the donkey, but crossing the river to destroy the bridge. At the same time, he also hated Xie Zhan for picking peaches and using them. He knew that he had suffered a lot of anger that he should not bear, all because of Xie Zhan!
Sheng Huaixing advised, "Mr.
When Xue Huaimin heard this, he laughed out loud. After he finished laughing, he said, "Young man, if you have a future, I won't give you a hard time!"
As he spoke, he picked up the poisonous wine on the plate, saluted in the direction of the imperial city, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I am not alone in my path. Your Highness, Fourth Highness, Xie Zhan, everyone, I will take the first step!" "He raised his hand and drank the poisonous wine in one gulp.
How could he not be called smart? Xue Huaimin guessed something when he saw the thickness of the fold.
Lin Ran left people to deal with the Xue family, and then took people to the next family.
"Chief, which family is next?" Sheng Huaian asked.
"Xie Jia!" Lin Ran said angrily, "You know what you're asking, didn't you just read the life and death book, bah, the list of burials?"
"Hahaha." Sheng Huaian said with a smile, "I just wanted to say that this burial list is a bit like the life and death list of the Lord of Hell. We are all black and white."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
