Condescending and Condescending

As soon as this remark came out, it was no less than a shock!

So much so that Xiao Shoufu opened his mouth after a while, and said with difficulty: "Is Wanzai joking with us?"

Fang Yanqin directly threw the cement prescription on the imperial case, then looked at them, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he said seriously: "I never joke."

The faces of Xiao Shoufu and others changed drastically, they didn't know that they were being played by the emperor.

They couldn't believe it, and they were even more annoyed: "The emperor said so well, how can you go back on your word?"

Fang Yanqin said: "But didn't I also say that you deserve death for your sins?"

Hearing this, Duke Zhen and the others instantly smiled.

The emperor's move was really satisfying.

But Xiao Shoufu obviously didn't think so.

He pointed at the dialect with trembling fingers: "This cement is as effective as papermaking and a compass. With it, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the world can be expected to rule. If you treat heroes so harshly, you will not be afraid that future history books will call you a fool." , to be scolded by the world?"

Fang · only half a year ago, the last morning · speech · obsessed with cultivating Taoism, alchemy and building Taoist temples · Qin: "... It seems that if I let you off now, future generations will not call me a foolish king."

Xiao Shoufu: "..."

Duke Zhen: "..."

And Qu Xiumo who just got off the dragon bed and realized that he was late, so he wanted to sneak into the courtiers while everyone was not paying attention: "..."

Do I have to praise you that you are quite self-aware!

Even the air was silent for a moment.

But Fang Yanqin quickly reacted, and he said, "It's up to you, the heroes?"

"Did you invent this cement?"

"You took someone else's invention and came here to claim credit, and then you tried to wash away the numerous crimes on your body. How ridiculous?"

"If I let you go, I will be scolded by the world."

Fang Yanqin didn't bother to tangle with them anymore, so he waved his hand without waiting for their reply: "Take it down!"

Those armored guards rushed forward immediately.

"Foolish Lord, Faint Lord!"

"I'll never let you go even if I'm a ghost."

"Long live, spare me!"

……

"Long live the—"

It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a roar among the angry curses and pleadings of Xiao Dang, and it was still pleading for Xiao Dang.

So the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the source of the sound, which was Li Qingyu.

Duke Zhen and the others immediately frowned.

Because they all wished that these armored guards would directly drag Xiao Shoufu and the others to the vegetable market to be eloquent, so how could they intercede for them.

Li Qingyu, who finally came to his senses, was startled and realized that he was careless.

I'm afraid that Lord Zhen Guo and the others have already doubted him in their hearts.

So what should he do now?

Cold sweat broke out on Li Qingyu's forehead.

Got it!

In the next second, as if thinking of something, Li Qingyu's eyes lit up.

Then he calmly said: "Long live, long live, you forgot, there is still a Yongwang in the north."

If they deal with the Xiao party now, the court will be in turmoil, wouldn't it be an opportunity for King Yong to take advantage of.

Why did Xiao Shoufu lose so quickly and so badly? In the final analysis, it was because he had no military power in his hands, so the emperor's sword fell on his neck, and all he could do was mobilize the courtiers to stop the court. dead remonstrance,

But you see, there are not ten but eight censors killed outside Yutang Palace, and the emperor still wants to kill him.

But King Yong is different from Xiao Shoufu. He now holds 20 Northern Army in his hands.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that with King Yong's sword hanging over the emperor's head, the emperor would definitely let Xiao Shoufu go in the end.

Fortunately, he is smart and found such a good reason in the first place.

Li Qingyu couldn't help being a little proud.

Hearing this, Xiao Shoufu immediately forced himself to be calm and said: "The minister has placed a lot of secret work beside King Yong. As long as Long Live is willing to forgive the minister and others, the minister will hand over the list."

Hearing this, even Duke Zhen's face became serious.

Because he had to admit that compared to Xiao Shoufu, King Yong was now their biggest concern.

So the Xiao Party members really cannot be killed!

Thinking of this, no matter how unwilling he was, Lord Zhen Guo also stood up, ready to persuade the emperor to let Xiao Shoufu go for the time being.

However, before he could say anything, he heard the dialect of the superior say: "Of course I know that there is still a Yongwang in the northern border, but I also know that cutting the grass does not remove the root, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates."

boom!

These words were like a blow to the head, the expressions on the faces of Li Qingyu and others froze instantly, he raised his head suddenly, and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

The emperor, the emperor still wanted to kill Xiao Shoufu?

But what made him collapse even more was yet to come.

As if he noticed his gaze, the emperor suddenly turned his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "As for King Yong in the north, isn't there still the Liqing family? No matter how strong King Yong's new army is, can it be stronger than the Japanese pirates? In the past, when the Liqing family had only a thousand miscellaneous soldiers, they were able to wipe out three thousand Japanese pirates, and they will surely help me to pacify the northern border in the future."

Li Qingyu: "..."

Li Qingyu's face was about to crack.

He never thought that it was him who prompted the emperor to make up his mind to eradicate Xiao Dang.

If this was normal, knowing that the emperor trusted him so much, he could laugh behind his back.

But now he just wanted to shut the emperor's mouth.

Because if Concubine Xiao Gui knew about these things, she would definitely fight him desperately.

After all, since the emperor wanted to kill Xiao Shoufu, he would definitely not let the rest of the Xiao family go.

Don't forget, Concubine Xiao Gui also has a direct brother who lives in the Xiao family.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyu fell into an abyss.

He even imagined that after Concubine Xiao knew this, she would fight him to the death and make their adultery public.

If Fang Yanqin knew what Li Qingyu was thinking, he would definitely tell Li Qingyu that he was thinking too much.

It was not him he trusted, but the muskets and cannons in his hands.

So without waiting for Li Qingyu to speak again, he said directly: "Go ahead."

And Lord Zhen seemed to think that what the emperor said made sense, so he decisively shut his mouth again.

Looking at the arrogant and arrogant Xiao Shoufu and the others in the past, they now look as if they are looking for concubines, Duke Zhen immediately swept away the sickness on his face, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Henry Zhang, you also have today—"

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Xiao thief to have today!"

"Long live Shengming."

"Father, mother, your great hatred has finally been avenged."

……

On the day Xiao Dang bowed to the law, the capital city was unsealed.

After the news spread, people all over the country called their friends to celebrate with wine, or knelt down and wept with joy.

For this reason, Cheng'an added a few more poems and essays celebrating the downfall of the Xiao party, which have been passed down through the ages.

But the matter didn't end here, and the news that came next undoubtedly directly detonated the entire Dayang Dynasty.

The next day, [-] of the [-] soldiers from the Western Jingxi Camp went to the capital to confiscate the property of the Xiao Party in Beijing in conjunction with the soldiers from the five cities.

All of a sudden, the Sansi Prison was overcrowded, forcing Lord Zhen Guo to empty the barracks to detain the criminals of the Xiao Party.

And only Xiao Dang in Beijing copied nearly 9000 million taels of silver, which was only cash. You must know that Dayang’s annual income from the treasury was only 500 million taels.

Only Xiao Shoufu took 3000 hectares of fertile farmland from his home, 1 silver shops, [-] pawnshops, more than [-] boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and [-] million yuan in silver. More than [-] horses and countless furs.

And his big housekeeper took out 200 million taels of cash from his house alone, which was more than the internal money of the emperor Fang Yanqin.

This is nothing, the most important thing is that they are used to being domineering, bullying men and women is nothing, when they come to them, they will destroy people everywhere, the most exaggerated one, holding more than 500 pieces of paper in his hand In terms of human life, there are not so many people in his nine clans.

In this regard, Fang Yanqin directly took the role of the later Ming Chengzu. He just threw the account book back on the imperial case, and then looked at the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty below, and said lightly: "Then let him be punished by the ten clans, that's fine." Let posterity learn from it."

Following these words, the guillotine hanging over the heads of Xiao Dang and the others finally fell.

In September of the 25th year of Cheng'an, the three divisions listed [-] crimes including the third crime of disobeying the state of Xiaoyang, the fourth crime of deceiving the emperor and arrogating power, and the seventh crime of beating the country and harming the people...etc.

Afterwards, the emperor decreed that five people and ten clans including Fan Maoyan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the Crown Prince Taibao Ji Yi in Xiaoyang Prefecture should be punished, and eight people and three clans including Dang Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the rest of the party, would be sentenced to beheaded. 300 people who made the decision, 500 people who exiled their families...

The case was not concluded until May of the 26th year of Cheng'an, and as many as 2 people were involved in the death, which can be called the largest case in the Dayang Dynasty.

For this reason, the sky in the capital of Cheng'an in the 25th and 26th years was bloody.

And this was under the premise that under the strong persuasion of Zhen Guogong and others, Fang Yan allowed those officials who committed lesser crimes to hand over the atonement money in order to obtain a reduction or exemption from punishment.

And just as Li Qingyu expected, after learning about Xiao Dang's fate, King Yong didn't even care about recuperating and accumulating strength, so he directly reversed.

Fang Yanqin immediately ordered Li Qingyu to lead Shandong to prepare 21 Japanese troops, [-] forbidden troops, and to transfer [-] guards from the [-] coastal guards.

Sixty thousand soldiers attacked Yongwang.

In order for Li Qingyu to go to war with peace of mind, Fang Yanqin forgave Concubine Xiao's life on the grounds that she had contributed to conceiving the emperor's heir.

In the other courtyard, not only Li Qingyu, but even Xiao Guifei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

So Li Qingyu immediately held Concubine Xiao's hand and comforted him: "Since the emperor has forgiven you, your life will definitely not be hurt in the future."

"Take good care of your baby, don't think too much, don't worry, I will definitely avenge the Xiao family's revenge, I swear."

Hearing the word Xiao family, Concubine Xiao's body trembled, and immediately the corners of her eyes wet.

Her father, her brother, all dead.

She immediately beat Li Qingyu's chest like crazy: "Didn't you promise me that you would save the Xiao family's lives? Why, why did things turn out like this?"

Just talking, her movements became slower and slower, and her strength became weaker and weaker. In the end, she could only cry in Li Qingyu's arms.

The beauty was crying, and Li Qingyu felt his heart was broken.

It was only before he could speak that Concubine Xiao finally came to her senses.

So this man in front of her was also one of the chief culprits who caused the ruin of her family.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xiao Gui suddenly pushed Li Qingyu away.

Li Qingyu was startled: "What's wrong?"

Concubine Xiao Gui also looked at him in a daze: "You go."

Li Qingyu's complexion changed slightly: "Rou'er?"

Concubine Xiao Gui smiled sadly: "If you can help me avenge me, I will naturally be grateful to you, but the death of my father and brother cannot be separated from you. You let me have no face to be with you."

"Let's go. From now on, you will continue to be your commander, and I will continue to be my imperial concubine. We will never end our friendship."

Li Qingyu was about to catch up immediately, but before he could grab Concubine Xiao's hand, the door slammed shut in front of him, leaving only a scarf on his palm.

Hearing the crying sound from inside the room, Li Qingyu suddenly clenched the scarf in his hand, and said in a hateful voice: "The emperor—"

In this regard, dialect Qin, who achieved the achievement of "beating an adulterer with a stick" by mistake, ate half a bowl of rice that night.

Therefore, in the entire 25 years of Cheng'an, Fang Yanqin only did five things, practicing, mobilizing opera, cultivating ink, eliminating the Xiao party, begging Yongwang, and exempting the world from taxes for five years.
