My subjects are too rebellious!

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

“…”

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the kneeling ministers.

It seems that except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works headed by Yan Song, all other civil officials seemed to agree.

Sima Yi and his generals did not participate, and neither did Heshen.

Just as Qin Chuan was thinking, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Yan Yan and the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Yong came out.

"Your Majesty, Minister Li is experienced, mature, talented, and has extraordinary strategies and plans. He should make further progress."

"I second the proposal."

After the two assistant ministers on the left and right came out and knelt down, more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Revenue also came out and echoed them.

"I second the proposal."

"..."

Heshen looked at this scene and felt the emperor's eyes gradually turning cold as he stared at him. He immediately closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

I couldn't help but mourn for these fearless guys.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, but he was not angry. Instead, he stared at Li Linfu and said, "Lord Li, do you have anything to say?"

Li Linfu hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am a humble official with limited knowledge and talents, and I am afraid I am not qualified for such a high position. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this."

Be humble and want to stage the drama of resigning for the third time.

Qin Chuan refused, and immediately threw his sleeves and said, "In that case, let's just leave it at that."

When Li Linfu heard this, he smiled but said nothing.

The ministers kneeling on the side, led by Wang Wenshu, shouted again: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, I ask you to appoint Li Linfu as the Right Prime Minister."

These people are not afraid because they think Your Majesty has no leverage over them, so they are fearless.

After all, the law does not punish the public.

But Qin Chuan could no longer suppress his anger, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Are you forcing me?"

"I dare not!"

"Everything I do is for the benefit of our Wu Dynasty, without any selfish motives."

Seeing Wang Wenshu say this, Qin Chuan laughed out of anger.

"Oh? Are you serious about what you said? If you are serious, then you have no selfish motives at all?"

Wang Wenshu's heart trembled, and then he looked cautiously at Qin Chuan above, and was startled by that gaze.

He felt a tangible murderous intent enveloping him, and at that moment, he reviewed everything he had done.

Then he calmed himself down and said, "What I said is absolutely true and I have no selfish motives. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

The reason why Wang Wenshu dared to say this was because he had done everything very cleanly and left no one alive, so he was naturally not afraid.

Qin Chuan understood it clearly. Through the previous secret reports from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he clearly recorded Wang Wenshu's history of making a fortune.

He sneered and said, "I originally wanted to question you after the court meeting, but if you are so stubborn, don't blame me."

"Long Yi, read out Shangshu Wang's crimes."

"Here!"

As soon as Long Yi left the class, he walked up the imperial steps, took out a secret report from his arms, then opened it and read it.

"According to the investigation by the Royal Guards, Wang Wenshu went to great lengths to cover up his greed and murder people to silence them."

"He hired assassins to kill innocent people and eliminated those who knew about the crime one by one to cover up his horrific crimes."

"When he was the prefect of Shaoxing Prefecture, he arrested almost all the powerful families in the county on trumped-up charges."

"After extensive interrogation and torture, the facts of the case were quickly confirmed, and more than a thousand families were implicated in the case."

"If the crime is serious, the whole family will be executed, and if the crime is minor, the person will also be executed. In addition, no matter how serious the crime is, all the property will be confiscated by the government."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenshu immediately shouted, "Your Majesty! I am innocent! These are all rumors spread by those who want to harm me."

"Unfair? Ha, Long Yi, continue."

"Here."

Long Yi ignored Wang Wenshu, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and continued reading.

"Wang Wenshu used a private post horse that had been set up in advance to deliver the false accusation within two days."

"As soon as the imperial edict arrived, the powerful landlords were caught off guard and a large-scale massacre began, with tens of thousands of people being killed."

"The blood flowed for more than ten miles, the corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed like rivers."

"And that edict was approved by Qin Hui, because Qin Hui accepted the three million taels of silver from Wang Wenshu as a tribute."

Qin Chuan felt sad in his heart. Although Wang Wenshu's actions were self-inflicted for the powerful landlords who were rampant in the village,

But for the majority of innocent civilians implicated, it was a bloody injustice.

Moreover, not a penny of the embezzled money was turned into the national treasury!

Wang Wenshu's face was ashen at this moment, and he was crawling on the ground like a dead dog. He could only pray for His Majesty's mercy in his heart.

But how could Qin Chuan have mercy on such a cruel and ruthless person who killed people like crazy, used cruelty to satisfy his greed and used cruelty to cover up his greed?

"Zhang Rang."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Prepare the decree!"

"Wang Wenshu, the Minister of Justice, is arrogant and takes credit for his achievements in the court. He relies on his seniority to bully others and has great power over the government and the country. He is extremely greedy. He colludes with merchants, extorts the people, embezzles money for himself, acts recklessly, and does all kinds of evil."

"The means are so cruel that they can ignore even their closest friends and relatives in order to pursue personal gain. They are cold-blooded and ruthless, just to satisfy their own greedy desires."

"In front of the powerless, he uses cruelty to be greedy, and in front of the powerful, he uses flattery to be greedy."

"Wang Wenshu is hereby granted the right to be executed by slow slicing, and all nine clans of his clan shall be exterminated. All his property shall be confiscated."

Hearing this, Wang Wenshu instantly trembled like a sieve, wagged his tail and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

"I have absolutely never done anything so evil and immoral!"

"Your Majesty, please understand!"

Qin Chuan was a little impatient and waved his hand. Long Yi immediately dodged and appeared behind Wang Wenshu. After a knife strike, Wang Wenshu fell into a coma.

At this moment, no official dared to offer any advice. Even Li Linfu, who thought he had captured the enemy easily, stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Qin Chuan took in all the officials' actions, and then said, "I hope you can learn from Wang Wenshu's mistakes."

“No one will ever make the same mistake again.”

"Don't think you can hide your actions from me. I have a book in my heart. I know who is right and who is wrong."

"I will not pursue this matter, in order to give you, my dear ministers, a chance to wake up."

"I hope you will take care of yourself! Dismiss!"

These words shocked all the officials so much that their faces turned pale, and they kept recalling everything they had done.

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were on duty looked at Heshen for help.

"Master He, we are wrong. Please save us for the sake of our colleagues!"

"Master He, please save us."

He Shen glared with dead fish eyes and said angrily: "I warned you, but you didn't listen. Now His Majesty is furious. It's too late for you to regret it now!"

"I am just a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In front of His Majesty, I am nothing. How can I save you?"

Just when a few people were about to ask Heshen for help and even considered paying money for bribes, Wu Zhengxiang came over with two Dragon Scale Guards.

"He Shangshu, His Majesty invites you."

Heshen was just about to take out a banknote from his sleeve to test the waters when he suddenly remembered what happened before.

Then, he froze immediately.

Wu Zhengxiang just looked at him with a smile without saying a word.

He Shen quickly apologized with a smile: "Eunuch Wu, please lead the way."

After saying this, Wu Zhengxiang went to inform Yan Song and Cao Cao, and then brought the three of them to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, waiting to be summoned by His Majesty.

However, all the officials went to their respective government offices with their heads hung low.

Only Sima Yi walked behind the crowd with an expressionless face.

Because he has no leverage.
