After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

Xiao Zhong, who got the news about Lin Yuchen, was ready to make a big move.

He began to contact the spies he had planted in the capital before, and kept exploring information from all parties.

However, for some reason, Emperor Yuanjia was as dazed as a demon during this period.

First, people investigated Zhou Youguang, and then he was dismissed from his official position and imprisoned. Master Zhou, who had dominated the officialdom for more than ten years, ended up like this, which made people doubt the attitude of Emperor Yuanjia.

In particular, he not only personally investigated Zhou Youguang's matter, but also asked the ministers below to report it and hand over evidence if there was evidence.

But these ministers are more or less involved with Zhou Youguang, not to mention they are afraid that Emperor Yuanjia and Zhou Youguang will give them a "fairy dance".

Just kidding, Zhou Youguang has been a celebrity in front of Emperor Yuanjia for more than ten years, and when he hooked up with the Zhao family and brought down the Xiao family together just because he was the top scholar in a new subject, what kind of fuel-saving light can he be?

Whether the Xiao family is guilty or not is not important. What is important is that since Zhou Youguang can really bring down the Xiao family, it means that Emperor Yuanjia has provided a lot of support.

This time, I am afraid that Emperor Yuanjia asked Zhou Youguang to cooperate in a scene to test the attitude of this group of people.

They thought they had guessed Emperor Yuanjia's thoughts, so they unanimously praised Zhou Youguang in the court for being an upright and honest official.

Emperor Yuanjia looked coldly at the ugly minister below, thinking of his dream, and immediately became furious.

He didn't know who the ministers he trained were serving.

Does this court belong to him or to Zhou Youguang?

The furious Emperor Yuanjia naturally needed an outlet, and Zhou Youguang was naturally the best candidate.

In particular, Emperor Yuanjia planned to use Zhou Youguang's fate to frighten this group of subordinates who didn't know the heights of the world.

Therefore, Zhou Youguang was taken out of the prison and sentenced to Lingchi. On the day of execution, Emperor Yuanjia ordered all ministers to go and watch the execution.

I heard that when the person was brought out, he was already dying. Even if he suffered a lot in the prison, it would be difficult for Mr. Zhou to survive.

According to the news reported by people under Xiao Zhong, many ministers could not bear the bloody scene, and some older ministers fainted directly after being so stimulated.

If there hadn't been an imperial doctor nearby who could administer the acupuncture in time, I'm afraid he would have been left there.

But what happened to Zhou Youguang was just like the beginning. After that, first the courtiers and then the aristocratic families, Emperor Yuanjia carried out a "big purge" on them with extremely rough methods.

Not to mention the people below, even the royal family felt that Emperor Yuanjia was crazy.

They don't know what Emperor Yuanjia wants to do, but if he wants to die alone, don't take the entire clan with him. They have only had a long time to live in peace.

It was frightening to seize the direct descendants at the beginning. It was finally over, but only more than ten years later, such a bad thing happened again.

If it wasn't possible, the royal family would have wanted to give away Emperor Yuanjia's branch.

The situation in Apocalypse was already turbulent, so the current plan should be to draw the aristocratic family over and tie them to the same boat as the Apocalypse royal family.

You know, this world has been in chaos more than once or twice, but these aristocratic families can always stand firm in it. There is even a popular saying among the people, "A family made of iron is an emperor of flowing water."

It is enough to show that the aristocratic family is powerful. This time Emperor Yuanjia only touched his ministers, but actually took action against the aristocratic family.

If these aristocratic families unite, the royal family is no match. Especially now that the rebel forces in various places are gradually becoming stronger, they have to guard against them.

Xiao Zhong agreed very much on this point. If the Xiao family didn't have many tribes and the number of people assigned to him was limited, he would have wanted to add fuel to the fire.

You must know that when the situation became chaotic, he sent his people to various places.

They need to be capable and capable, and they need to have means and means. When they were just a ragtag group at the beginning, they quickly got into the upper echelons by relying on their own abilities.

He has established a firm foothold and has his own subordinates. According to the news coming back, there are many traces of the former noble families in the rebel army that has become famous recently.

It seems that the people in this group of aristocratic families are not controlled by Emperor Yuanjia and are at the mercy of others.

Xiao Zhong smiled. This situation was more beneficial to them. He now only hoped that Emperor Yuanjia's "madness" could last a little longer, and at best, these aristocratic families could completely turn against him.

In fact, the noble family's endurance is far from being as good as Xiao Zhong thought.

Just kidding, in their eyes, the emperor is just a mud-legged person. They are a Qingliu family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. How long has it been since a mud-legged person has been in power?

What's more, Tianqi's current royal family still relied on the aristocratic family to stabilize the situation in the past. The founding emperor even said that "the emperor and the aristocratic family rule the world together." How long has it been since this appearance?

They were not used to people shouting and killing them like this. The royal family had already told them that Emperor Yuanjia was suffering from "madness".

A "crazy" emperor is naturally unfit to continue on the throne.

They planned to use the rebel army to replace Emperor Yuanjia in the name of "Qingjun Side", and then support another emperor.

As for what to do in the future, it depends on whether the clan is sensible or not.

Not only the clan and aristocratic families, but also the ministers who were promoted by the late emperor in the past, neglected by Emperor Yuanjia and now intimidated, have also begun to become active.

Think about it, Zhou Youguang was so famous before, he was favored continuously for more than ten years, but now he has fallen to this in just over a month.

Forced by Emperor Yuanjia to watch the execution, they not only had the feeling of being "killed to scare the monkeys", but also felt the desolation of "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad".

Zhou Youguang, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Yuanjia and had been given the highest honor, all ended up like this. What about them?

What about these ministers who are not reused but are always involved in disputes?

If you think about it, you know it will definitely not end well.

Therefore, some officials who could not sit still had begun to secretly get closer to the aristocratic family, hoping to get the protection of the aristocratic family.

Emperor Yuanjia had been in power for many years, so he naturally had his own sources of information. He heard that his ministers secretly visited the aristocratic family, and when they came back, they began to install quails and use them as vases in the court hall.

How could Emperor Yuanjia, who always prided himself on being a wise emperor, endure this?

He didn't know how to pursue the blame, but just found a time to ask the secret guards to deliver a glass of poisonous wine to a few people who "jumped" the highest.

The news of the funeral soon spread from the wealthy and powerful families in the capital. Many high-ranking families hung up their hats, and the noble families stayed behind closed doors. Kyoto, which had not been affected by the war for a while, became deserted.

The ministers were all on guard, fearing that Emperor Yuanjia would suddenly have their heads chopped off in the court.
