The First Tyrant of Daxia

Guo Ziyun's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister has said it before."

"But they played dumb and deliberately made things difficult for me."

"The Zheng family in Xingyang even made outrageous remarks to humiliate me, saying that my ancestors were just cattle herders and had no right to enter their mansion."

"It really pissed me off!!"

His face was flushed and his fingers were shaking.

It is hard to imagine that such a weak old minister like him would be so angry. He must have been humiliated repeatedly.

Qin Yun's eyes flashed with murderous intent!

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

This is not just a simple humiliation of Guo Ziyun, it is also shitting on one's own head.

"Fuck, are these bastards going to rebel?"

"I paid for the food, and they still dared to show disdain!"

"Tao Yang!"

"Go, capture this bastard from the Xingyang Zheng family who is in charge of the imperial capital!"

Tao Yang immediately stepped forward and knelt, his face grim: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Wait a minute!"

Guo Ziyun stopped him immediately, worry showing on his wrinkled face.

He said steadily, "Your Majesty, please be patient."

"If you arrest them now, it will only intensify the conflict between you and the aristocratic families. At that time, the war in Xiliang, including the decision-making of the court, will become more difficult."

Qin Yun's eyes were spitting fire.

"Lord Guo, there is no need to say more about this matter!"

"Damn it, the whole court knows about this, and they still dare to humiliate you. They are doing this for me to see!"

"Tao Yang, what the hell are you waiting for? I want you to catch someone!"

The roaring sound caused the imperial study to tremble.

Tao Yang was terrified and immediately said yes and rushed out of the imperial study.

Qin Yun was still not satisfied.

He said solemnly to Eunuch Xi: "Go and gather all the civil and military officials immediately."

"And all the representatives of the major aristocratic families in the imperial capital, no one shall be left behind, all of them must come to the Taiji Hall to meet with the emperor!"

"Whoever dares not to come is not giving me face. Even if you are disabled, you must crawl over here!"

"Today I will kill one person as a warning to the rest!!"

Kill one to warn the rest, these four words are shocking.

The pupils of everyone present widened. Your Majesty is going to kill even the spokesperson of the aristocratic family?

Guo Ziyun looked extremely worried and blamed himself for saying so much.

Now that His Majesty is angry, how should this end?

Eunuch Xi immediately ran out to announce the decree and did not dare to stay at all.

Two hours later.

An endless stream of ministers came crawling into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, their hurried footsteps never stopping.

They were still discussing with each other.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Why did you suddenly summon us?"

"Is the war in Xiliang starting again?"

"..."

Inside Xuanwu Gate.

The Qian clan, a powerful family in Guanzhong, had a representative in the imperial capital named Qian Lin.

He has the title of scholar-official, but no official position.

He was dressed in brocade, looking elegant and tall, with the temperament unique to a noble family, but without the arrogance of being superior to others.

He smiled and took out a bag of gold from his sleeve and quietly gave it to Eunuch Xi who was leading the way.

"Eunuch Xi, this is just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Eunuch Xi was so frightened that he immediately returned the gold and said indifferently, "Master Qian, you should take this back."

Qian Lin's face changed. You won't even accept the gold?

He calmly took back the gold, his eyes flickering, "Eunuch Xi, you are a favorite of His Majesty, you must know what happened today, right?"

"Please give me some advice so that I don't break any taboos when I enter the palace for the first time. I will be very grateful."

Eunuch Xi walked straight ahead with his eyes straight ahead and his back bent.

"Master Qian, please speak less when you see His Majesty. His Majesty is very angry today."

Qian Lin is a shrewd man, otherwise he would not be the Qian family’s spokesperson in the imperial capital.

Climbing up the pole, he asked, "Oh? May I ask, Eunuch Xi, is His Majesty angry because of the food shortage of the Xiliang garrison a few days ago?"

Eunuch Xi nodded implicitly.

Qian Lin's expression changed again, his bright eyes kept moving around, and no one knew what he was planning.

Not even a few meters away from him, there were several figures hurrying by, also dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, with extraordinary temperament.

They are the spokespersons for the aristocratic families in Longyou, Xingyang and other places.

Everyone was whispering to each other, looking surprised and confused.

They seemed to be a small group, even walking together, and no one knew what they were discussing.

Soon after, we arrived at the Tai Chi Hall!

Afternoon is never a time for court sessions, but at this moment, all the civil and military officials gathered, and it was a dark mass, silent and depressing.

There are some unfamiliar faces.

They are all spokespersons for major aristocratic families.

Most of them have status or titles, but no official positions.

They looked at each other with flickering eyes, somewhat puzzled by this sudden summons.

Is it for food?

The depressing atmosphere lasted for a stick of incense.

Qin Yun, sitting high on the dragon throne, remained silent, as if trying to intimidate others. This made the spokesmen of many aristocratic families sweat and their legs go numb from standing.

suddenly!

He spoke.

The sound is neither light nor heavy.

"Well, all the masters from the aristocratic families have arrived."

"I thought you were unwilling to give me this honor."

The heart-piercing words almost set the tone for this meeting. They were not kind, but extremely unkind!!

The faces of the spokespersons of the major aristocratic families changed suddenly.

All the civil and military officials frowned, thinking that something might go wrong today.

bang bang bang...

More than a dozen people knelt down.

Upon closer inspection, they are all spokesmen for aristocratic families.

"Your Majesty, we dare not!" they shouted in unison.

"To be summoned by the Emperor is a blessing that we have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

"Besides, the emperor is the supreme ruler. How dare we say that we are honored? As long as your majesty gives the order, we will go through mountains of swords and into boiling water!"

Qin Yun snorted and sneered.

"Oh, is it?"

"You've been through a lot, but I heard there's a bastard among you who doesn't take me seriously and humiliates me in every way."

Upon hearing this, the Taiji Hall quickly became noisy.

Everyone speculated who that person was.

The many representatives of the aristocratic families had a bad feeling and lowered their heads without replying.

Qin Yun tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said slowly, "Does that person come forward on his own, or does he need me to invite him?"

The representatives of the aristocratic families heard something unfriendly and exchanged glances, but they remained silent and no one stood up.

They thought, the emperor couldn't be so cruel, right?

They are just refusing to sell food and pretending not to have it. Can you really kill them?

Qin Yun said again quietly: "It seems that I have to come and invite you personally."

Wang Zhen, the spokesperson for the Longyou Wang family, forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, we really don't understand your Majesty's intention. Please give us your instructions."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I wonder if there is some misunderstanding. Who dares to humiliate the emperor? I, Zheng Yilong, will be the first one who will not let him off easily!"

The person who was speaking was a fat man, wearing a purple suit, and looked a bit plump.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Are you Zheng Yilong?"

"So you are from the Zheng family of Xingyang?"

Zheng Yilong thought that everyone was captured individually and had no idea that Qin Yun was targeting him.

Pretending to be friendly, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that's right."

"I don't know, Your Majesty..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Qin Yun said something directly, quite straightforward and terrifying!

"Someone, throw this fat guy into the oil pan and fry him!"
