The first county magistrate in history

An Dehai smiled knowingly and thought to himself, do they dare to go to court?

Even if they are border kings with great combat power, I can kill them in seconds with me here!

He has the confidence!

If it weren't for him, the empress would have been assassinated long ago!

He dared to guarantee that if the Empress got angry, even the Four Realm Kings would be afraid and would never dare to appear before the Empress when she was angry.

In particular, the people the empress killed today were all from the Northern Territory King Cheng Kun, who was the leader of the four territories.

I guess the cunning Cheng Kun was also confused at this moment, wondering why the empress dared to kill his people.

Cheng Kun is suspicious by nature. The more he doesn't understand something, the more he dares not take action.

The other kings of different surnames were even more cunning and would never dare to show up until the situation was clear.

An Dehai secretly praised that Mochu was becoming more and more mature in the power struggle.

This is a strong deterrent, using thundering means to catch the opponent off guard.

It will be too late to figure it out after you guys leave!

An Dehai looked at a young eunuch.

The young eunuch immediately flew away.

Xia Mochu glanced at the ministers and asked, "Where is Yan Weidu, the commander of the Nine Gates?"

"Your humble servant is here!" A tall and strong old man came out and knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

Xia Mochu's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she demanded, "Yan Weidu, I want to ask you, what is the duty of the Imperial Guards? Are they no longer capable of defending the Imperial Capital? Do we still need the border troops to help defend it?"

The faces of all the civil and military officials changed. His Majesty was going to take action against the Nine Gates Admiral.

"I... admit my guilt!" Yan Wei was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body trembled violently.

He had turned a blind eye before and let the King of the Four Realms do whatever he wanted because he did not dare to offend the King of the Four Realms.

After all, the empress has always given face to the King of the Four Realms.

What's more, she received a lot of benefits from the Four Realms King!

He never dreamed that the empress would suddenly turn against the Four Realm Kings and dare to massacre the four gates.

The empress didn't even give face to the four foreign kings who had millions of soldiers under their command. He was in big trouble.

"Since you can't do your job, what's the use of you? Take him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him, and whip the imperial guards!" Xia Mochu gave the order.

She knew very well that Yan Wei had been corrupted by the Four Realms King. How could such a person still be around?

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. Please show mercy and spare me..." Yan Wei was so exhausted that he begged for mercy loudly.

Wave goodbye at the end of summer and the beginning of the next.

Two palace guards walked over.

"I am an important minister of the late emperor. Your Majesty, you cannot kill me!"

Xia Mochu said nothing.

At this critical moment of life and death, how could Yan Weidu surrender?

He fought with the palace guards.

He is a military general in charge of the Imperial Guards, so naturally his kung fu is not weak.

The two palace guards were unable to capture him for a while.

"I, because you are an important minister to my father, have allowed you to continue to be in charge of the Nine Gates. But what have you done? If you were loyal to my father, how could you allow border troops to enter my imperial capital?" Xia Mochu shouted coldly:

"I have already shown some mercy by not exterminating your entire clan!"

"Uncle An!" Xia Mochu waved his hand!

Swish!

An Dehai took a step forward.

With just one step, he reached Yan Weidu, who was more than ten meters away.

When Yan Wei saw An Dehai, his face changed drastically and he turned and ran away.

"Hmph!" An Dehai snorted coldly.

He suddenly raised his hand, and with a whoosh, several red threads as thin as hair shot out.

A faint sound of "puff, puff" was heard.

Yan Weidu, who had already run to the door of the hall, suddenly stiffened and stood still, still maintaining a running posture.

Everyone saw that the red threads had already penetrated into his back, limbs, and back of the head.

Suddenly, the red thread trembled.

hiss!

All the civil and military officials gasped and trembled!

Yan Weidu's burly body suddenly broke into pieces...

When Yan Weidu dragged away the corpse that had been cut into dozens of pieces, all the civil and military officials in the court trembled in fear.

The empress is blood-thirsty!

They don't know who will be unlucky next.

An Dehai hadn't taken action for many years, so they all ignored the existence of this eunuch.

At this moment, they realized that as long as An Dehai was with the empress, she would be able to rest assured.

At this moment, some people could already guess that the Four Realms King had escaped. Who wouldn't be afraid of Daqian's number one expert, An Dehai?

So many people were killed, it was so bloody, but Xia Mochu remained calm.

The ministers were shocked. The empress had killed me decisively back then, without blinking an eye, and she was still as ruthless as ever.

Xia Mochu spoke calmly at this moment: "Where is Xu Pengling, the commander of the Imperial Guards?"

"Your humble servant is here!" A burly middle-aged man came out and knelt on the ground.

Everyone else was trembling with fear, but this person showed no fear at all and looked calm.

Xia Mochu smiled. "Lord Xu has guarded the palace faithfully and has not allowed outsiders to set foot on it. He is a pillar of the Great Qian Empire and a beloved general of this Emperor. This Emperor will clearly determine rewards and punishments."

"My dear Lord Xu, please listen. Effective immediately, I appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Gates, in charge of the Imperial Guards, the Yihui Army, and the Imperial Palace Guards. You will be a high-ranking official!"

Everyone was shocked. A first-rank official?

Wouldn't that mean he is among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers?

"Thank you for your grace!" Xu Pengling thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly, without any look of joy on his face.

"Go and get busy!" Xia Mochu nodded secretly. She had been paying attention to Xu Pengling for a long time.

Xu Pengling strode away.

"I remember that some of you mentioned the magistrate of Hongtong County. I have forgotten who it was and what it was about. Who of you can remind me?" Xia Mochu said, looking at the officials.

Several ministers were pale, trembling, and lowering their heads for fear of being recognized by the empress.

The empress killed Guo Ziqing, Shen Xiangrui, Cai Bulun and Yan Weidu in court. Isn’t her purpose obvious enough?

Seeing that no one stood up, Xia Mochu said again: "Forget it, it's not a big deal."

Changing the subject, he said, "However, the severe drought in Liangjin is a matter of national importance. Since you have no good recommendation, I do have a candidate, but I'm not sure yet."

Everyone listened attentively, curious about who the empress would choose.

"You should also know that it was me who suppressed the bird plague in Guanghe County. In fact, the greatest contributor was Qin Zheng, the county magistrate of Hongtong County. I think you have all heard of his deeds. What do you think, my dear ministers?" Xia Mochu said, his phoenix eyes still staring at the pools of blood on the ground for a while.

The civil and military officials all had different expressions. You have assessed them all and obviously chosen this person. How dare we say no?

Besides, the scene just now is still vivid in my mind. Even a fool wouldn’t dare to oppose you, right?

thump!

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Qin Zheng is a talented and capable person. I support bringing him into the court to contribute to the country!"

thump!

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second my opinion."

Suddenly, several court officials came out and knelt down.

They were all the people who had impeached Qin Zheng before, and they were also the people of the Four Realms King.

They stood up at this moment to make amends and hoped that the empress would forgive them.

Xia Mochu sneered inwardly, "I'm considered a veteran in the power struggle, but I can't handle a bunch of you fluttering moths? I was just too worried before!"
