The eldest son is fierce

After hearing Tang Yi's words, Emperor Yanwen's eyes suddenly lit up.

He is worthy of being the person I have chosen, and his handling of the matter has pleased me greatly.

In this way, those who committed serious crimes would be put to death, and those who committed crimes not punishable by death would be spared, provided, of course, that the money in the national treasury was returned.

Silver, the most important thing now is silver, I only want silver.

"I heard that. Do you have any opinions on how Tang Yi was handled?"

Emperor Yanwen swept his cold eyes across the entire room. Some ministers who originally had objections lowered their heads instantly when they saw Emperor Yanwen's cold gaze.

I dare not have any opinions!

"We have no objection!" All the ministers involved in the case kowtowed.

"Liu Wen, Zhao Ke."

Emperor Yanwen looked at Liu Wen and Zhao Ke.

Liu Wen and Zhao Ke's legs went weak and they knelt on the ground, trembling.

"I have betrayed your majesty's trust. I deserve death. Your majesty, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The two begged for mercy again and again.

Emperor Yanwen stared at the two of them with extremely cold eyes.

Humph, now you know you're wrong? Are you begging for mercy?

late!

How many people have been torn apart by your families? How many people have been shed in rivers of blood because of you? How many people have died with regrets because of you?

You still have the nerve to beg for mercy from me? Do you know that all the bad things you did will be blamed on me by the people?

I am the one who is being scolded, and you are the ones who are enjoying the glory and wealth!

"I will spare you. The soldiers of the northern border who died in vain in the 13th year of Qianwu will not rest in peace. The civilians who died in the flames of war will also not rest in peace!"

"How can I forgive you?!"

Emperor Yanwen shouted, "Someone come!"

"Here!" Zhao Hu immediately came in with the Imperial Guard.

Liu Wen was already limp as mud, not even having the strength to kneel on the ground.

Zhao Ke suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are talking about Liu Wen. What does he have to do with me?"

Under the shadow of death, Zhao Ke no longer cared about his alliances. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, my crime does not deserve death!"

"Although I used the money from the national treasury to lend money at high interest rates, and I also took money from the Ministry of Revenue to pay for my mother's medical treatment, I did not cause any significant losses to Dayan!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Oh?" Emperor Yanwen glared at Zhao Ke with a cold gaze. His voice was icy. "You took 50,000 taels from the national treasury and took advantage of the floods in Jiangnan, where grain prices skyrocketed, to buy grain to drive up prices. How many people starved to death as a result?"

"You told me... your crime does not deserve death?"

Zhao Ke's voice suddenly stopped!

He forgot about it.

But Gu Cheng remembered everything clearly in his account book, even recording the evidence and witnesses.

As long as the Jinyiwei arrests people and collects evidence according to the account books, death will be waiting for him.

“Your Majesty, Lord Liu and I are both the Prime Minister’s men!”

Zhao Ke looked up at the emperor with red eyes, and the word "dangerous" almost came out of his mouth without thinking.

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into silence. All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. Even Tang Yi's eyes twitched... Damn, is this guy so awesome?

He even dared to threaten the emperor!

What? Is the prime minister more powerful than the emperor?

Zhao Ke, I am calling your ancestors... A group of ministers involved in the case have already greeted Zhao Ke's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Originally, the prime minister and his party were the ones most involved in the case. By threatening the emperor like this, aren't you pushing all of us into hell as well?

Even the prince had his head almost stuck in his crotch at this moment, not daring to breathe.

The murderous intent in Emperor Yanwen's eyes suddenly gathered, but quickly dissipated.

He just stared at Zhao Ke and said, "Just because you're the Prime Minister's men, you can break the law and endanger the country? I... can't kill you?"

"Then take a good look and see if I dare to kill you!"

Emperor Yanwen flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Come here, throw Liu Wen and Zhao Ke into the Heavenly Prison. Jinyiwei Division 1 and 2 will work together with the Imperial Court to confiscate their family property immediately!"

In the past, someone would have stood up and pleaded for Liu Wen by now.

But now everyone is silent, no one dares to say a word. Are you kidding me? These two guys even threatened the emperor. Aren’t they threatening the emperor if they speak now?

Who dares to bring bad luck upon themselves at this time?

Zhao Hu waved his hand, and two soldiers from the Imperial Guard immediately stepped forward and dragged Liu Wen away.

At this moment, Emperor Yanwen suddenly thought of something and said coldly, "Wait."

Hearing this, Liu Wen and Zhao Ke felt as if they had been pardoned.

All the ministers looked at Emperor Yanwen, thinking that he had changed his mind.

After all, Liu Wen and Zhao Ke are the Prime Minister's men. The Prime Minister is in a high position and has great power. Your Majesty must give the Prime Minister some face no matter what. What's more, the Prime Minister is now in the East Territory to implement Your Majesty's strategy!

They were just daydreaming when Emperor Yanwen's voice rang out again.

"Don't think too much. I just suddenly remembered something. You should fulfill your promise with Tang Yi."

When the ministers heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Exchange the agreement with Tang Yi, what agreement with Tang Yi... Just as the ministers were thinking about it, their thoughts finally jumped out of the account book, and they finally understood what Emperor Yanwen meant.

At that time, everyone's face turned green!

What's the agreement with Tang Yi? If you lose, you have to call him grandpa and admit your mistake to him!

The corners of Tang Yi's mouth twitched. To be honest, if the emperor hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about this matter.

This emperor is really good! He remembers things so clearly that he has forgotten.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, this is just a joke. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it..."

Although he said that he didn't care, Tang Yi was already standing at the front with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He even straightened his clothes, as if he was accepting a solemn worship.

When the civil officials saw his appearance, they felt... an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Furious, cowardly, angry... all kinds of emotions were there. Now, not to mention that the emperor wanted to kill Liu Wen, even they couldn't help but want to tear Liu Wen apart.

Look, what the hell did you do?

It’s bad enough that he’s seeking death, but now he wants us to suffer humiliation with him!

Liu Wen and Zhao Ke were also stunned. They didn't expect that the emperor would not let them go even before his death and would let them suffer such a great humiliation.

When they made this agreement with the emperor, they all thought that Tang Yi would definitely die. The emperor was handing Tang Yi over to them to kill!

But they didn't expect that they would be the ones to be beheaded.

"Hahaha……"

Liu Wen and Zhao Ke looked at each other and both burst into laughter, laughing so hard that their tears and snot were stuck on their faces.

It is really true that man proposes, God disposes. Who could have thought that they would eventually be defeated by such an inconspicuous young man.

The two of them bowed to Tang Yi without hesitation:

"Grandpa Tang, we were wrong!"

If you don't help someone in need, then you'll all be disgraced!

When the civil officials saw this scene, they were immediately furious.

"Hey, I heard it."

Tang Yi looked at Liu Wen and Zhao Ke, and said earnestly: "Grandpa didn't teach you well in this life, allowing you to bring disaster to the country and the people, but this is not Grandpa's fault, it is your own fault."

"In your next life, be a good person!"
