The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun sat on the gilded dragon chair, looking at the ministers with a half-smile.

He slowly said, "My dear ministers, why did you come to see me so early in the morning?"

Several people looked at each other.

Qi Yong, the Minister of Justice, raised his head slowly, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to investigate the treasonous activities of the treacherous officials. Over the past two days, the Ministry of Justice has interrogated the officials overnight and has already opened the mouths of some of the traitors."

"In total, more than ten generals of the army and more than twenty officials from various departments were implicated. Here are the charges. Your Majesty, please review them."

Qin Yun took it and looked at it. These people had one thing in common, that is, they were good friends with Wang Wei and others!

This is not a crime, but a token of surrender brought by Qi Yong. He wants to use this to show his loyalty and draw a clear line between himself and Wang Wei!

Qin Yun was quite satisfied. In front of all the ministers, he said with a smile, "That's right, Eunuch Xi, pass on my order to reward Lord Qi with 100 taels of gold, several night-shining pearls, and some silk and jade."

Qi Yong's face lit up with joy, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will swear my loyalty to you till death!"

"Well, I'll leave this list to you, Lord Qi. Execute all the people on it!" Qin Yun said suddenly.

Qi Yong's forehead was covered with sweat. If he executed these people himself, he would definitely offend the Wang Wei Group.

But he did not dare to hesitate: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately!"

On the side, the Minister of Works and others were secretly delighted to see that Qin Yun did not hold Qi Yong accountable and even rewarded him with gold, silver and jewelry, and then they spoke up one after another.

"Your Majesty, I came here to complain about the corruption in the Ministry of Works. I am guilty. Only today did I discover that many of my officials colluded with each other to steal the national treasury's food and salaries."

"Here is the impeachment list, Your Majesty, please take a look at it. Also, please punish me, this old minister." The Minister of Works Huang Yanqing knelt on the ground with a serious attitude.

Qin Yun took it and looked at it, then nodded secretly.

This impeachment list basically consists of Wang Wei's students and old friends, and his approach is exactly the same as Qi Yong's.

"My dear Huang, please stand up. Correct your mistakes as soon as you realize them. I have said that you will not be punished. Eunuch Xi, I will arrange it and reward you later!" Qin Yun said generously.

During this period of time, the homes of so many criminals have been raided and a lot of silver has been confiscated, especially from the homes of big men like Han Qinhu. They are like mountains of gold and silver. Now all of the money has gone into the national treasury, and the treasury is a little more sufficient.

Immediately afterwards, Minister of War Zhao Heng, Grand Tutor Shen Qin and others stepped forward one after another.

"Your Majesty, there are also people in the Ministry of War who are stealing money without paying. I have already found out..."

"Your Majesty, there are many people in the Scholar's Mansion who are secretly slandering Your Majesty and advocating for the Wang family. I have investigated it thoroughly. Here is the list. Please review it, Your Majesty."

"..."

The seven impeachments involved more than one hundred people in total. The highest-ranking official was the Minister of Works, a fourth-rank official, and the lowest-ranking officials were some literati and colonels.

When the ministers heard this, they lowered their heads and dared not look at Qin Yun.

I was extremely nervous.

If Your Majesty does not trust them, your life in the court will be difficult in the future.

"Yes, yes, you have done a great job, my dear ministers. I am relieved that Daxia has you in charge!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After some casual chat between the king and his ministers.

Qin Yun's words had a hidden meaning!

"My dear ministers, I will not pursue the past, but from today on, the court will no longer be the same as before. Be it a fox or a demon, you must put away your tails completely!"

"If you dare to disobey me again and secretly withdraw money!" He glanced at them calmly, paused and said, "Then don't blame me for turning my back on you."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked!

They all knelt down and said in a loud and solemn voice: "Your Majesty, I will never forget your grace!"

"I will obey your majesty's order and will never forget it!"

Qin Yun smiled and raised his hand, motioning the seven people to stand up.

"In that case, my dear ministers, please withdraw first."

"Everyone, please slow down. I know all the merits and demerits of our vast country, honor and disgrace!"

"Yes, we will take our leave!" The seven people said in unison and slowly retreated. After the conversation, everyone had a different impression of Qin Yun.

Your Majesty is extremely cunning!

I'm afraid that before it was just keeping a low profile!

Fortunately, I stopped in time, otherwise I would have been in great trouble!

Wait until several ministers leave the imperial study.

Qin Yun immediately said to Eunuch Xi beside him, "Go, spread the news that seven ministers came to see me today and impeached many people."

"It would be best if the news spread out of the palace so that all civil and military officials know about this matter."

Eunuch Xi never asked random questions, and answered quickly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."

Qin Yun nodded, his mouth curled up. He did this because he wanted to completely split the possibility between Qi Yong and Wang Wei, making them like water and fire, thus forming a constraint.

He stood up, took a deep breath, and looked far-sighted.

He said to himself: "Wang Wei, wait for me, Lin Changshu has fallen, and you won't be around for long!"

"Don't think I don't know your evil thoughts, and that Concubine Wang Min, humph!"

As he spoke, he revealed a hint of coldness.

"Tao Yang!"

"I'm here!" Tao Yang, dressed in military uniform, knelt down immediately.

"Go, prepare for me, I need to go to the prison!"

"Yes!" Tao Yang replied.

After a while, Qin Yun walked out of the imperial study and went to the Heavenly Prison under the protection of the imperial guards.

The Heavenly Prison is a restricted area, and no one can enter without the emperor’s order.

Originally, Qin Yun stationed a large number of troops here, wanting to see if those people would be unable to sit still and kill Lin Changshu to silence him.

But a day or two passed and there was no movement.

During the daytime when the sun is shining brightly, the light cannot penetrate into the prison. Even in the scorching heat, there is still an eerie feeling inside that makes people shiver uncontrollably.

In such a huge prison, there is only Lin Changshu.

As soon as Qin Yun entered, he heard slight screams and groans in the humid air.

It belongs to Lin Changshu.

This guy was beaten beyond recognition. All kinds of torture were used on him. Except for his face, there was almost no good flesh on his body.

"Hahaha!" Lin Changshu suddenly saw Qin Yun and laughed crazily.

Then he raised his bloodshot eyes and said with great resentment: "Useless Emperor, are you finally here?"

With his disheveled hair, he did not look like a prime minister at all.

"court death!"

"Snapped!"

The prison officer cursed loudly, pulled out a wet whip and swung it hard on Lin Changshu's body. There was a loud bang in the air and a piece of flesh and blood flew off.

"Ah!" He screamed in agony.

"I didn't expect that Lord Lin, a scholar, would be so tough. I thought you would kneel down and beg for mercy, but I didn't expect you to be so unyielding!"

Qin Yun walked slowly into the cell under the guard, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Hmph, whether they are scholars or military generals, they are all better than a waste like you!" Lin Changshu cursed with great hostility.

Qin Yun said calmly: "I am a waste, then what are you, a loser?"

"fail?"

"Who said we failed?" Lin Changshu's face was ferocious and he showed a rampant smile.

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He took a step forward, frowned and said loudly: "You? Who else is there besides you?!"

"Tell me! I'll spare your life!"

"Hehe, do you want to know?" Lin Changshu asked jokingly with blood all over his face, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Yun stared at Lin Changshu in front of him, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light: "Speak!"

"Hahaha, you dog emperor, then beg me! Kneel down and beg me! I will mercifully tell you!" Lin Changshu roared hysterically at Qin Yun!
