The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 430 The disaster of extinction
Seeing that all the ministers and officials were silent, many people had expressions of shame on their faces, and many others were covered with cold sweat and turned pale, Jiang Chuan snorted coldly, and reached out to take a scroll from Bai Mu behind him. He glanced around and said coldly:

"This king knows that there are many people who conspired with Liu Lin in the court. The list of these traitors is now in this king's book. This king is now giving you one last chance. Those who take the initiative to confess their sins can forgive your family members. If a After the incense burns, no one is willing to take the initiative to confess, so don't blame the king for killing people."

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, a personal guard set up an incense burner, lit a stick of incense and inserted it into it.

Looking at the faint red fire, everyone looked at each other. Some people thought they had no shame in their hearts, so they looked at other people's faces to see if they had ghosts in their hearts.

The man with ghosts in his heart looked around even more, stood restlessly, and sweated even more.

The stick of incense had been burned halfway, but still no one stood up and confessed.

Jiang Chuan didn't say a word, watched the stick of incense burning down little by little, and was about to burn out, sighed, and was about to give an order, but suddenly there was a plop, one person jumped out of the crowd, fell to his knees, Weeping loudly: "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, please forgive me, I'm guilty, I was instigated by that Liu Lin, I didn't want to..."

Everyone looked closely, and the wailing person was Zheng Guogong Li Cheng'an.

Before Jiang Chuan could speak, the last bit of the stick of incense had been burned, and the head of the incense had been turned into ashes and fell into the incense burner.

Seeing that the incense had burned out, everyone held their breath and looked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan sighed, and said as if talking to himself: "I really don't cry when I see the coffin. .”

When Zheng Guogong Li Chengan heard the words, he was happy and sad. He was happy that his family had saved him, but sad that he was about to die. He fell on the ground and burst into tears.

Jiang Chuan waved his hand, and the guards had already stepped forward to carry Li Chengan out.

Jiang Chuan's gaze scanned the crowd, from pity to lamentation gradually turned cold.

He unfolded the scroll in his hand and slowly read out the first name: "Ningnan Hou Zhang Guangyu".

Hearing this name, everyone turned their attention to a man of medium build and wearing a scarlet court dress at the front of the line on the right.

The man's face turned pale in an instant, he jumped out of the line, and shouted: "Your Highness, I have been wronged, I have been wronged..."

Jiang Chuan ignored it, and two guards came up to hold him back, but the man was still yelling injustice, and was stabbed in the back of the neck by a guard, passed out, and was dragged down like a dead dog .

Jiang Chuan continued to read out the second name: "Dali Temple Qing Weitong".

A person from the civilian queue on the left suddenly fell to the ground, as if his spine had been broken in an instant, and was dragged out by two guards.

"Honesty uncle Liu Kongzhao"

"Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong"

"Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Commander Sima Yue"

……

Every time a name was pronounced, one person was dragged out. Among them, Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong was so frightened that he lost control on the spot. The stench permeated instantly, and many people covered their mouths and noses in disgust.

The more people listened, the more startled they became. More than a dozen names involved civil servants like the Six Ministers, and generals in charge of public security and defense in the capital like the Nine Cities Military Commander Ma Siyou.

Looking at those who were dragged down, the remaining people were all in danger and trembling. Many people even guessed that King Qin took the opportunity to expand the scope of his involvement and clear away the obstacles to his regency.

Today, the least people who are eligible to attend the imperial banquet are officials of the fifth rank or above, and the nobles are all earls or above, and there are some clans. The total number of people is actually not too many.

After a dozen people were dragged away at once, many seats became vacant.

Seeing the last name, Jiang Chuan stopped and didn't say it immediately, but turned around and walked to the emperor not far away to look at the emperor.

The emperor was already terribly frightened today. He was forced into the palace by Jiang Chuan during the day, and at night he watched Jiang Chuan angrily scold his ministers and arrest a large group of people.

Seeing Jiang Chuan looking at him at this moment, he instinctively shrank back in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do? Are you going to arrest me too?"

Jiang Chuan frowned, and said loudly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, how dare I. I just want Your Majesty to see the last name."

As he spoke, he walked up to the emperor and handed the scroll in his hand to the emperor.

The emperor took it tremblingly, glanced at Jiang Chuan in fear, and then looked at the last line of the scroll.

When he saw the name, he was startled suddenly, looked at Jiang Chuan in disbelief, and said in disbelief, "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! It is absolutely impossible for uncle to collude with bandits!"

Only then did the officials realize that the last name turned out to be the uncle of the dynasty, the emperor's own uncle, and the empress dowager's elder brother Hancheng Housun Bonian.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and many people showed expressions of disbelief.

Because although this Hancheng Marquis Sun Bonian is not very good at doing things on weekdays, he doesn't seem to have the guts to do such things.

To put it in perspective, the selection of concubines by the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty was all chosen from commoner families, and it was also to prevent foreign relatives from becoming powerful and interfering in politics.Today's Empress Dowager Sun was born as a commoner.

Her father was originally just a Jiangnan country gentleman who was born as a scholar.

After the Sun family became the queen mother from the queen, the emperor made his grandfather the Marquis of Hancheng.It's a pity that this person didn't have enough blessings, he got sick and died within a few days, so his title was taken away by his son.

This uncle of the country originally lived a prosperous life in the south of the Yangtze River, but then the Dashun army came and swept the south of the Yangtze River, so he had to run to the capital.

The emperor gave his uncle a big house, which was very preferential treatment.The Empress Dowager was very close to his elder brother, and often talked about it in the palace.

Although this uncle of the country is a relative of the emperor, but he does not behave well, making a lot of jokes in the capital and attracting a lot of criticism.

It's just that because of his identity, he has never dared to speak of him.Even if an official wrote a letter to impeach him, the emperor would not let him go, so everyone turned a blind eye over time.

But I didn't expect that the last person turned out to be him, which surprised many people.

Because if this Marquis of Hancheng is all in the same party, people have to wonder if the empress dowager is also involved.

If the empress dowager is also involved, then the emperor...

Thinking of this, many people dare not think any further.If that's the case, then everything King Qin did today can be explained.

Although the emperor is mediocre, he is not stupid.He can naturally think of things that the courtiers can think of.That's why he lost his composure for a moment.

If the King of Qin believes that the Empress Dowager is also involved, according to King Qin's behavior today, the royal family is very likely to be wiped out!
