The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun looked at the ministers below calmly, neither hurried nor slow, without even saying a word, as if he was waiting for something.

The atmosphere was stagnant, close to freezing point.

Many ministers remained neutral. After all, it was not impossible that the emperor killed the prince with other intentions. Carrying out the right and wrong issue too much would only make the emperor unhappy.

Finally, a voice broke the suppression!

Report!

"General Xiao won a great victory, killing 3,000 enemies in Wafeng Town, and the remaining 8,000 people all surrendered!"

"After investigation, it was found that the town was illegally armed and everyone had weapons and crossbows!"

"General Xiao sent a message back. We will return to the capital later and arrive tomorrow!"

boom!

Qin Yun slammed the table, his face full of smiles and heroic spirit!

"Hahaha, General Xiao is so brave!"

He was very happy, but then his face turned cold and his tone suddenly changed.

"Humph! My fellow ministers, what else is there to say now! Through the evil monk's confession, I have already destroyed Lao Jiu's privately raised army!"

"He wants to rebel, what else can I say about that?"

Duke Dou and others' faces changed, and they were even a little frightened!

Maintaining an army of over 10,000 is indeed a serious crime. Not to mention that His Majesty would be suspicious, even the law would not let him off.

The Taiji Hall experienced another period of silence.

The ministers, each with their own thoughts, considered a lot and ultimately chose not to make any more suggestions.

However, Duke Dou, who was in the Dou Dowager Concubine's camp, still gritted his teeth and refused to give in. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that he still cannot be convicted!"

Qin Yun's eyes gradually turned cold.

It was understandable that he opposed it just now, but now he is determined to go against it!

He couldn't help but think of that charming figure. Without her help, Duke Dou would never have dared to make such a proposal.

In the final analysis, he is just playing dirty and refusing to admit his guilt!

And their reliance is nothing more than one thing, that is the brotherhood. Throughout history, emperors who killed princes all paid some price, big or small.

Either fame or civil unrest.

Qin Yun was unhappy. Even after the situation had come to this, Dou Ji still dared to protect her son!

He took a deep breath, looked at the cold sweat dripping from Duke Dou below, and said calmly: "What do you think I should do?"

Duke Dou smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

"It's just that General Xiao hasn't returned to the court yet, and the series of strict investigations into the private army have not yet produced any results. It's hard to say who the army belongs to."

"Perhaps this evil monk who committed heinous crimes is biting people randomly."

"Your Majesty, I think you'd better pay attention to your influence and don't do anything that will make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy. After all, the villains in the dark would like to see your Majesty's brothers at odds and cause trouble."

Qin Yun smiled.

clap clap!

He clapped his hands and said jokingly, "Duke Dou really worried about me. He thought so thoroughly and thoughtfully that it really put me to shame."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll wait for General Xiao to return to the court and interrogate the captives before making a decision. How do you think?"

Duke Dou breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could speak, Qin Yun spoke again: "However, according to the current situation, it is reasonable for me to imprison Old Nine, right?"

"Makes sense, makes sense!" Duke Dou bent down and smiled. He did not dare to push too hard and slowly retreated.

Qin Yun concluded: "As for Lao Jiu's treatment, we will discuss this matter after the investigation results."

"Next, we need to deal with the evil monk causing chaos in the imperial capital."

His eyes were slightly cold: "This incident has had a huge impact. I and the court have already suffered too much criticism. Tell me, how can we calm the public anger?"

All the ministers began to discuss the matter.

There was a commotion among the crowd.

Two ministers rushed out. They were not high-ranking officials, only the sixth rank.

But after all, they were close ministers of the country and had a certain say. They fell to their knees, tears streaming down their faces!

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for both of us!"

"My little girl was nearly raped. Now the streets of the capital are full of rumors, saying some unpleasant things about my daughter."

"I only have this one daughter, and she tried to commit suicide several times, wuwu!"

The old minister actually started crying.

The other man was middle-aged and steady, with an ugly expression on his face. He was a military general named Bai Feiyuan!

He knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision for me. I have no face to live any longer!"

"Since Wang Wei's rebellion, the entire imperial capital, and even Daxia, has often seen riots, natural disasters and man-made disasters. I would like to ask Your Majesty to exercise some restraint!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun became a little angry!

He snorted coldly, "Lord Bai, are you blaming me?"

boom!

Bai Feiyuan kowtowed: "I dare not, but the people are saying so. If the court does a good job, how can there be evil monks among the people?"

Bold!

Wei Zheng and others shouted loudly. Wasn't this obviously an accusation that the emperor was not taking action?

"Someone, drag this man away!"

"How can you be so arrogant? The criminal committed a crime, what does it have to do with your majesty's court?!"

For a moment, there were many scolding voices.

Qin Yun stood up to stop him at this moment: "Okay!"

"Master Bai's daughter was almost murdered and slandered by rumors. I can understand her feelings."

"No blame."

Bai Feiyuan's eyes turned red, and he kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please help me and kill this evil monk to appease the public anger!"

"That's right, Your Majesty. This evil monk is extremely evil and has no regard for the law. He even dared to set his sights on Concubine Shu. He must be executed!"

The other minister also cried and demanded that Zanghua be executed.

The old monk Canghua knelt in the middle, his face pale. He felt like he was about to be eaten. He looked at Qin Yun anxiously, seeking protection.

Qin Yun was in hesitation.

Killing Canghua at this moment will not be conducive to correcting Laojiu in the later stage, but not killing him will not be enough to appease the public resentment.

Bai Feiyuan and the other two are microcosms of this; there are many people in the imperial capital who have complaints.

"Your Majesty, you said you wouldn't kill me!"

"I have confessed to you, you can't do this!" Canghua shouted in horror and knelt down and kowtowed.

The kind-hearted and enlightened monk had become a frightened dead dog.

These words undoubtedly increased the hatred of others.

Bai Feiyuan was filled with righteous indignation, and his hair stood on end with anger.

"Go to hell, you bastard, you don't deserve to live in this world!"

"what!"

He roared and pounced forward, pinching the old monk's neck with his palm as big as a palm fan. His face was ferocious and his joints were popping with force!

All of a sudden, the Tai Chi Hall was in chaos.

Qin Yun frowned and glanced at Tao Yang.

He jumped up, rushed forward, pulled Bai Feiyuan away and subdued him.

Bai Feiyuan looked angry and growled, "Your Majesty, shouldn't the murderer pay with his life? This evil monk has killed so many innocent girls, should he be allowed to go unpunished?"

"My little girl has been drowned in rumors and gossip. Her life has been ruined. Where is justice? Where is the law?"

Seeing this, Duke Dou's eyes lit up.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please execute the culprit, the evil monk Canghua, to appease the public anger!"

Qin Yun glanced at him calmly. What do you think I am? Canghua is an important witness in the case of the Ninth Prince. How can he be executed now?

He waved his hand, signaling Tao Yang to take Canghua away first.

Then he stood up, looked down and said: "My dear ministers, please be patient!"

"I said I would give you an explanation, so today I must give you an explanation, especially the two ministers Bai Aiqing!"

Upon hearing this, the Taiji Hall fell silent, and all the ministers waited for the next words.

Bai Feiyuan's face flushed red as he looked at Qin Yun and said, "Your Majesty, please give us your instructions!"
