Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chapter 45 I am the King of a Country (1)

"Wang Min will support Li Chongguang's restoration in the future, and will even collude with the Khitan to disrupt our Great Yan state. I killed him today to get rid of the traitor. Do you still have any questions?"

As Xie Lang spoke, he casually threw the blood-stained white cloth on Wang Min's still bleeding body, and quickly put the sword in his hand back into place.

The ministers looked at each other in confusion, not daring to say a word. They didn't know whether what Xie Lang said was true or false, and she was the only one who knew the future.

Does that mean if she wants to kill someone in the future, she can just accuse you of anything she wants? The key is that you won't be able to defend yourself.

But they dared not say this, for fear that they would be the next to die.

But only Xie Lang knew that what she said was true. In Li Jingming's life, Wang Min was the first to support Li Chongguang's restoration.

After that, after Li Chongguang became emperor, Li Chongguang slaughtered all the people who had supported Li Jingming to be emperor, and the whole court was filled with blood.

Later, he was appointed prime minister. He colluded with the Khitan for personal gain, and eliminated dissidents in the court. He flattered his superiors and was submissive to the Khitan.

In the end, all the loyal and outspoken people in the court were killed, and the remaining civil officials had no integrity and talent, and only knew how to enjoy themselves and engage in corruption. The military generals who could lead troops to fight were gone, leaving only the capitulationists who only knew how to surrender.

Dayan was destroyed by Li Chongguang, but Wang Min was a major driving force behind it.

His death was not innocent.

In addition to Wang Min, there are also some corrupt officials in the government and the country who need to be dealt with.

To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation. The external threat has not been resolved yet, and she does not want anyone to cause internal strife.

She has already made the list, all she needs is the right time.

When Wei Renda saw Wang Min's body on the ground, he knew that Xie Lang would not kill people for no reason, and what she said should be true.

If it is true, then Wang Min’s death is not a pity.

He bowed to Xie Lang, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Your Highness, in the future, besides Wang Min, who else will disrupt our Great Yan?"

As soon as these murderous words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.

Some looked nervous, some remained silent, and some looked calm. Everyone's expression was different.

But no one directly stood up and said that this was ridiculous. First, Wang Min's body was in front of them, still spurting hot blood. Second, they felt that they would not do anything to disrupt the Great Yan country in the future. Wouldn't it be tantamount to self-admission to stand up at this time?

Some officials who have ulterior motives, such as those who accept bribes, embezzle and abuse power, are very nervous because they do not believe in their own character.

They were very afraid that Xie Lang would point out their names and they would end up like Wang Min.

Other officials who had grudges against Xie Lang looked sad. They were afraid that Xie Lang would use his personal grudges to get rid of them all.

Who knows whether it is true or false that they will bring disaster to the country of Dayan in the future? All this can be decided by just one word from Xie Lang.

Xie Lang cast an admiring look towards Wei Renda. In trivial matters, he still took propriety and law into consideration. After all, he was a civil official and no matter how rebellious he was, he could not be too rebellious. However, when it came to the country of Dayan, he was not vague at all.

Xie Lang took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Renda: "I have listed the names in this booklet, take a look first."

Xie Lang had already made a plan, all she needed was the right timing, and now the timing was just right.

Wei Renda took the booklet and began to flip through it.

The whole scene fell into dead silence. The officials remained silent, but their trembling bodies showed that they were not at peace in their hearts.

Some officials looked at the booklet in Wei Renda's hand and silently prayed to God that their names would not be included in it.

Some officials lowered their heads, minimized their presence and tried not to make any noise.

Of course, there were a few officials who were watching the show silently. It would be a waste not to watch such a good show.

Xie Lang took in the expressions of everyone present.

She wrote this list selectively. Anyone who took advantage of the original owner, Li Jingming, would surely die. This was her explanation to Li Jingming.

Those who brought disaster to the country and the people were among them, those who damaged the interests of Dayan were among them, and those who colluded with the Khitan were even more among them.

As for those who committed corruption and bribery, or crimes that were not punishable by death, she did not list them. Those listed were all very serious crimes.

There are also some people who are doomed to die, but they are not included in the list as they have not yet entered the court to serve as officials. These people will be dealt with later.

There's no rush now.

After flipping through a few pages, Wei Renda discovered that the booklet contained a very detailed record of who did what and when.

Wei Renda was certain at this time that this was definitely not something Xie Lang made up, and it must be true.

"Your Highness, how do we deal with the people on the list?"

"Since it is a matter of the future, his family will not be harmed. I will be executed and his property will be confiscated. This matter will be over." Xie Lang said, looking at Wang Min's body on the ground, and said indifferently: "As for Wang Min, execute all nine clans."

"You will handle this matter. Wang Lin will assist you first. After the people on the list are dealt with, we can leave the court."

Wei Renda was responsible for reading out the names, while Wang Linxian was responsible for arresting people and searching their homes.

Some people on the list have amassed countless wealth, some even have assets worth millions of taels. This is the result of Xie Lang's time as regent during this period combined with Li Jingming's memory.

The wealth of these people is enough to make up for the deficit in the national treasury.

Last time, she asked Wang Lin to advance some silver from the Ministry of Revenue, but she had not paid it back yet. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue looked at her with resentful expressions. Now the money has been paid back.

Then Xie Lang looked at the ministers again, his tone was indescribably indifferent: "Those who are not on the list should not rest easy. This does not mean that you are innocent. On the contrary, I remember many of your crimes clearly."

"But I am willing to give you another chance, please cherish it."

After she finished speaking, she slowly walked towards the gate of the Weiyang Palace. Everyone watched her go away. They could see that her court dress was still stained with Wang Min's blood, and it was emitting golden light under the sunlight outside the palace. Her whole body exuded a sacred aura, as if she was a god in heaven.

Before leaving, she did not forget to say, "Deal with Wang Min's body. I don't want to see the smell of blood in Weiyang Palace tomorrow."

"Farewell, Her Royal Highness."

After Xie Lang's back completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the atmosphere in the entire hall became even more tense.

The ministers' eyes were once again fixed on the booklet in Wei Renda's hand.

In addition to the Yulin Guards guarding both sides of the hall, Wang Linxian had ordered someone to call in a large number of Yulin Guards from outside at some point in time to surround the entire Weiyang Palace tightly.

"Zhang Hui and Wang Min's party, who were in the position of Minister of Justice, killed countless loyal officials, fabricated hundreds of unjust, false and wrong cases, and asked officials from all over the country to offer young boys and girls as gifts, and then tortured them after playing with them. They also embezzled nearly a million..."

Wei Renda's face turned black when he read out the charges. Zhang Hui, whose name he mentioned, is now a handsome young man working in the Hanlin Academy.

I never thought he would commit these crimes later.
