The First Tyrant of Daxia

In an instant, all the ministers were stunned!

The spokespersons of the aristocratic families were hit hard.

What do you mean? Your Majesty wants to kill. Aren’t you afraid that the aristocratic camp will be dissatisfied?

clang!

Xiao Jian lifted a huge tripod with one hand and placed it in the Taiji Hall with a loud bang.

Then, a eunuch came up carrying an oil barrel, as if it had been prepared in advance, and did it in one go.

This scene stunned all the bigwigs from the aristocratic families.

When they saw the eunuchs pouring oil, their scalps suddenly exploded!

Your Majesty, are you serious?!

Zheng Yilong, the Zheng family of Xingyang, immediately turned the color of liver.

He knelt on the ground, his whole body stiff, his lips trembling slightly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Yun didn't smile. He stood up and walked forward, looking down and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't that what you mean?"

Zheng Yilong was completely panicked.

His pupils were terrified and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong!"

"I have never insulted Your Majesty. Please show some mercy."

"We, the Zheng family of Xingyang, have always been loyal to Your Majesty...!"

That voice, almost crying.

All the civil and military officials looked at this, their faces turned grim, and they almost guessed the reason for it.

Qin Yun looked at it with disdain and amusement.

"I know your loyalty, so I want to test it.

"Didn't you just say that you would be willing to go through the oil pan and the knife mountain as long as I give the order? Did I hear that correctly?"

"Now it's time for you to prove yourself. Come on, get angry!"

Looking at the torch, Zheng Yillong almost felt dizzy and almost fainted.

That's frying, not beheading. Who can endure this torture?

The spokespersons of other aristocratic families all twitched their lips.

Going through a mountain of swords and a pot of oil is just a phrase. Your Majesty, by doing this, isn't it obvious that you are deliberately finding fault with something?

They understand the principle of the lips and teeth being in danger.

So they stood up together.

"Your Majesty, please show mercy."

"The Zheng family of Xingyang is a famous family. They can be traced back to Master Zheng Gong and Emperor Gaozu's meritorious service to the emperor. If Your Majesty were to take human life so lightly, wouldn't it invite criticism?"

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty, what did Brother Zheng Yilong do wrong?"

"Brother Zheng is a scholar-official. According to Daxia's laws, he must not be killed for extremely heinous crimes."

"..."

Ten people in a row came forward to plead for mercy.

Although their words were restrained, Qin Yun saw that they did not see the slightest fear.

In the final analysis, there is nothing to fear!

Although they do not hold official positions, most of the officials in the court can be related to them. This is their foundation and confidence!

At that moment, Qin Yun truly felt the crisis!

The scary thing about aristocratic families is that they can cultivate countless "Wang Weis", just like even if Wang Wei falls, the Wang family is still there.

If you hide away from the rumors, you will be able to prosper again after a while.

Qin Yun said coldly: "I sent Lord Guo Ziyun to discuss the purchase of grain. This Zheng Yilong was not only arrogant, but also insulted me."

"Let me ask you, how can such a crime of killing nine generations of an entire clan be punished?"

Hearing this, the representatives of the aristocratic families all frowned and looked at Zheng Yillong with suspicion.

I thought, could it be that this guy really cursed His Majesty and was caught with evidence?

Zheng Yilong jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, and shouted, "No, no!"

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely not insulted you!"

"This is slander, this is defamation!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, spitting out saliva.

The frying pan was right in front of him, how could he remain calm?

Then he looked at Guo Ziyun fiercely and cursed him.

"Guo thief, you old bastard, how dare you frame me!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the civil and military officials changed.

Curse the idiot inwardly!

The Minister of Revenue, His Majesty's confidant, how dare you scold him?

Qin Yun's eyes turned cold, but he was very satisfied in his heart. If Zheng Yilong didn't act like this, he really had no good reason to target him.

"Why would Lord Guo want to slander you? I have investigated everything, and you are still trying to make excuses?"

Zheng Yillong's face turned red with anxiety and he shouted in desperation.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't insult you, this old man, you are slandering me!"

"He came to me to discuss the purchase of grain, but I wouldn't let him in, so he held a grudge and slandered me!

Qin Yun asked: "Then why don't you let him in?"

Zheng Yilong blurted out: "Food cannot be sold!"

"This old man is just a dog. Why should I, the Zheng family of Xingyang, give him a..."

Having said this, his voice suddenly stopped.

His face turned pale in an instant.

Looking at the stiff faces around him, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

Taiji Hall, dead silence.

The spokespeople of the aristocratic families were all speechless.

I thought that the grain could not be sold, how dare you say such a thing?

The official who was an old friend of the Zheng family looked unhappy and didn't know how to interrupt.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"I did not mean that."

"I mean, the family doesn't have enough food, so we can't sell it. If we sell it, all the tenants who follow the Zheng family will be left with nothing."

Zheng Yilong explained weakly.

Guo Ziyun snorted coldly and scolded.

"Bastard thing!"

"The situation in Xiliang is serious. Why do you, Zheng, control the grain and not open the warehouse to release the grain?"

Zheng Yilong's face turned red and then white, and he looked at Guo Ziyun with gritted teeth!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you slander me?"

"I am the descendant of Duke Zheng, a noble of Daxia. What qualifications do you, a lowly person, have?"

"Guo Ziyun, you are just a dog, be careful with your words!"

"Since ancient times, cabinet ministers have changed generation after generation, but my family has a long history. What can you use to fight me?!"

Zheng Yilong was desperate and said this to Guo Ziyun, but in fact he was speaking to Qin Yun.

His tone was full of arrogance, as if he was born to be superior to others.

This time, the representatives of other aristocratic families did not speak again, but stared at Qin Yun closely.

This is what they want to express.

All the clans wanted to see Qin Yun's attitude.

But Qin Yun stood there, not saying a word from beginning to end, his face as cold as a calm lake, but murderous intent was surging in his heart.

These aristocratic families are so arrogant and condescending towards the Minister of Revenue, threatening and insulting him at every turn. If time goes on, won't they revolt?

For hundreds of years, these bastards have been too arrogant!

At this moment, Zheng Yillong gritted his teeth.

He looked directly at Qin Yun, thinking that it was going to be a fight anyway, so he might as well make it clear.

He just didn't believe that the emperor would really dare to fall out with the aristocratic families.

"Your Majesty, please remove Guo Ziyun from his position. He is in office without moral integrity!"

"As long as you depose him, I can promise to Your Majesty on behalf of the Zheng family of Xingyang that I will support you in attacking Xiliang even if I have to tighten my belt and skip meals!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole court was shocked!

Is this coercion?

Pairs of eyes opened wide, loyal ministers were angry, those who were hesitant were frightened, and the aristocratic families were watching and testing!

The representatives of the aristocratic families looked at each other and quickly came up with an idea.

Let’s go all out and make it clear!

Anyway, since King Min of Xiliang is around, the emperor needs funding from the aristocratic families.

Would he go against more than a dozen aristocratic families just for an old minister with no background at all?

"Your Majesty, I, the Wang family of Longyou, also impeached the Minister of Revenue for being immoral and incompetent!"

"Your Majesty, I am from the Guanzhong Situ family, and I am honored!"

"Depose Guo Ziyun and restore Daxia's money and grain to a clean and clear world. On behalf of my family, I am willing to give everything I have to support you in attacking Xiliang!"

"Me too……"

"..."

The aristocratic families knelt together, their voices loud and clear, without any fear.

This scene made Gu Chuntang and others angry. They clenched their fists, but they could do nothing!

Everyone looked at Qin Yun, wondering what he would do?

What's more, the look he gave Guo Ziyun was full of sympathy. Under such a great situation, this old minister who had worked hard and made great contributions might have to be sacrificed.

Even Guo Ziyun himself had a bitter expression on his face, as if he foreshadowed what was to come.

The silence was oppressive for a moment.

He didn't want to embarrass Qin Yun.

He knelt down heavily, took off his official hat, and said through gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, the overall situation is more important, please don't be angry."

"Old minister, I voluntarily resign..."

After saying this, Guo Ziyun's face was filled with depression and loneliness, and his trembling body was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time!

See this.

Xiao Jian, Gu Chuntang and others were moved and shed tears! !
