reincarnated as king

"Xuanbai officials enter the pilgrimage to see you!"

A sharp voice came from the Wenhua Palace in the Forbidden Palace, passed through the mouths of palace people, passed through the middle gate, and arrived in front of the Nine Gates.The morning glow in the sky has not yet dissipated, and the morning light is bustling. In the open-air square paved with white jade, all the officials standing upright knelt down, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live! !"

After prostrating, some people were separated from the huge crowd, and they hurried forward, passing through Yuqiao and Wumen, and entered the Forbidden Palace.After stepping through the palace gate, these people straightened their clothes one after another, and then walked steadily into the resplendent and magnificent Wenhua Palace.

At this time, it is time for the first time.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Bei Gongdi glanced around slowly. The ministers paid their respects again, and Bei Gongdi said, "You are free from the ceremony." To the seats set up on both sides.

This is how the day of the Great Jin Capital began.

These people are all officials of the fifth grade or above, and they are the core strength of the officials of the Jin Dynasty, and enjoy the power to enter the court to discuss affairs.In the whole country, all important regulations and resolutions are decided on such mornings.

Since Bei Gongdi formally ascended the throne on the first day of July and announced that he would be changed to Qianning next year, the newly appointed ruthless emperor has issued a series of incomprehensible edicts one after another.The first is the "amnesty for the world" that is customary for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the second is "to bestow Wenxi's old ministers to guard the West Sea", and the third is to "call people who are good at five-element arithmetic to go to Yanjing".

This "Yanjing" is the place where Beigongdi rose from the dragon, and it was the capital of Youzhou County, the original king of Yan.What Bei Gongdi asked these people to do there attracted countless speculations.

However, the most controversial one is the second edict.Originally, the Confucian scholars all thought that this god-killing prince wanted to wash the imperial city with blood and wipe out the roots like Emperor Taizu, but they didn't want Bei Gongdi to let those people go.Naturally, some people guessed that Bei Gongdi's move was just to "buy people's hearts and win benevolence", but the saying in various places about Bei Gongdi's "benevolence inherits the destiny" has gradually spread.In his own eyes, distribution has turned into benevolence, which Bei Gongdi never expected.

At today's court meeting, Bei Gongdi was preparing a "surprise" for the officials who had just undergone a coup in the palace, he looked at the courtiers below with some inscrutability, and said calmly: "Go and carry that box. After a while, Bunin and an eunuch jointly brought a small box that seemed a little heavy to the hall.

Bei Gongdi left the dragon chair, walked down the steps from the emperor's seat, and slightly raised his hand to signal Bunin to open the box. Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, the somewhat old wooden box was opened.There are booklets in it. Judging from the style, it is the ordinary ministers who wrote books to play the book.Bunin cleared his throat, picked up an old memorandum, and read from the cover: "Zou Di Wang Shu, presented by Dr. Zuo Yushi, Xiao Shilin".

He picked up another copy, and continued to read: "The proposal to cut down the vassals of Yan and Qin was submitted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xu Bingrui."

"...The presenter, Kang Shaoquan..."

"...Feng Ying...Han Changhua, Qiu Jian..."

As the names were pronounced one by one, the atmosphere in the hall gradually cooled down, and the faint coolness gradually permeated the body.Everyone who heard his name turned pale, felt cold all over, and was so frightened that the two were fighting. If they hadn't been sitting in the seats, they would have made a fool of themselves on the spot.

They naturally knew very well what was written in those memorials. In the past when Emperor Wenxi slashed his feudal domain, Bei Gongdi was a "swallow thief", and there was naturally a crusade in the court.But the world is unpredictable, Bei Gongdi, who became the emperor, actually took out all the "Books of Crusade" that were played today, and brought up the old things again in the public, how could they not help them not to be afraid?

Bei Gongdi said: "I found all these in the Jingxin Palace. I didn't know that when Wenxi was in power, you were all so active in cutting down the feudal clan."

There was a smile on Bei Gongdi's face, but everyone's scalps were numb. No matter how they tried to figure it out before, they never thought that Bei Gongdi, who had a "virtuous" style since he ascended the throne, would suddenly give a slap in the face at this court meeting. All the ministers are such a powerful dismount.

The emperor was angry, and the blood flowed.The more Bei Gongdi laughed, the more guilty they felt, as if the smile was more terrifying and hideous when it fell into their eyes.Some people have already begun to figure out how to commit suicide after the next dynasty so as not to implicate their family members.Bisheng Bei Gongdi added another cool sentence: "I have read every book carefully."

The hall was extremely quiet, and Bunin's voice became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming silent.

"Read it! Why don't you read it anymore!" Bei Gongdi raised his voice and said, "I'm afraid that many people here will have a share!"

Everyone's heart was feeling cold and cold, and it was naturally clear that Bei Gongdi's posture was planning to settle accounts after the fall.When Emperor Wenxi was in power, everyone was also enthusiastic about firewood, and there were many people who proposed to cut down the vassal, and even proposed to enclose the vassal king.But now that time has passed and the trees have fallen and the monkeys are scattered, they are either willing or unwilling to join Bei Gongdi's command.Even some people who have never been to the memorial, all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.Those princes, who have never seen Bei Gongdi like this, seem to be meeting this fourth brother for the first time, and they all feel chills.

Not everyone has such a fearful look. Naturally, Bei Gongdi doesn't really plan to settle accounts after the fall, but just wants to show grace and power, beat them, and frighten their courtiers.But those who guessed it, such as Chen Xiayang, sat upright, pretending to be wood carvings, and no one spoke.

Bei Gongdi sneered again, and sat back on the dragon chair.

At this moment, one of the courtiers came out, knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, all the ministers are serving the country, please don't look into the past."

Bei Gongdi originally wanted to follow his words, but suddenly glanced at his seat, narrowed his eyes, and said, "What's your name?"

"Chen Tang Dai Chuan." The man still knelt and said in a candid voice.

Chen Xiayang's eyelids twitched wildly, as if he realized something, and secretly thought something was wrong.

"Oh, what Tang Aiqing means is that I created something out of nothing? But why do I think that you courtiers, who let those treacherous ministers rule, but none of them resisted, can be regarded as 'serving the country'?"

When Bei Gongdi said this, his voice was still a little gentle, but every word was full of heart-breaking words. His eyes did not look at Tang Daichuan who was kneeling in the hall at all, but stared straight at a person in the hall. There is a playful look in it.

He added another sentence lightly: "Why do I look at it and think that you are the one who is obsessed with obsession and should be killed?" Beigong Difeng's eyes flashed coldly, looking at the people below, his eyes gradually fell back. On that person, he raised the corners of his lips and pulled out a smug smile.

The man seemed to know what Bei Gongdi meant, and slowly stood up.

He is Fang Jingxuan.

Fang Jingxuan lowered his head, and spoke clearly and lowly: "Your Majesty, the ministers who serve the king are all seeking the country's troubles, thinking about the country's interests, and dare not speak out unless they are dangerous. Tang Yushi must not be killed! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"What if I insist on doing it?" Bei Gongdi sneered.

Fang Jingxuan lowered her head, and the scene in the afternoon a few days ago appeared before her eyes.On a road in the capital city, a scholar was glaring at the person in front of him. His hair was in a bun and his clothes were in a state of disarray. On the ground beside him was a bookcase that fell to one side. The books inside fell out one after another and scattered on the ground.In front of the scholar was a strong and strong man. He stepped on the scholar's book with a proud and vicious look on his face: "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Qin! I wonder how your old father is? Last year he The case I handled for Pan, I have it in my heart, and I dare not let it go for a moment!"

The bookish face was flushed, and he was speechless: "Give me back my book!"

"Young master Qin, what's the use of reading these books! Do you want to throw yourself into the lake like your old father?" The expression on the ruffian's face became more and more vicious, and he trampled the book several times with his feet, tearing it in half. "Qin Yiyin committed suicide and went to find that stupid and senseless Emperor Jin Yi! Your son Qin, looking at the words of these sages, do you want to read yourself as a fool!"

"You—" the scholar couldn't utter the words to fight back, his heart ached, he only felt that the dead were the worst, but his father was mocked by him like this, "Insulting my father, I will fight you hard!"

"Hey, with your small body? Haha, grandpa thinks you look pretty handsome, why don't you—"

"Bold! This place is at the feet of the emperor, who is so presumptuous!" Fang Jingxuan's face changed when he encountered this scene, and immediately pulled the scholar away.

"Yo, who are you?" The ruffian looked at Fang Jingxuan's clothes and secretly guessed his identity. "Do you know who your grandfather is? Grandpa's second brother works in the Imperial Army! Mind your own business—"

"Jingxuan below." Fang Jingxuan said coldly.

"Fang Jingxuan? Which Fang Jingxuan—oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Fang Jingxuan who drafted the imperial edict for today!" The man immediately changed his face, flattering with some disgust. "Tsk tsk, I, Mr. Pan, can't see Mount Tai with my eyes, so don't blame Mr. Fang, don't blame! Haha!"

After speaking, he left with a few younger brothers, Fang Jingxuan sneered in his heart, if it weren't for the decline of literati at the moment, how could these villains dare to do such a thing.He turned his head and saw the scholar sitting on the ground, his arm protruding from the sleeve was covered with bruises, blue and white.The scholar slowly picked up the book on the ground and glanced at him.Fang Jingxuan wanted to say something, but saw undisguised disdain in those clear eyes.

"From now on, I won't bother my lord to save you!" He said coldly, carrying the bookcase on his back, "If the way is different, don't conspire with each other. You, a person who has transformed himself, is ashamed to be in the same class as you!"

"If your majesty insists on killing people, please kill me first." Fang Jingxuan closed his eyes and said slowly, his voice seemed a little desolate, and it seemed to be just an illusion, "I heard that in the past Qi Taizong wanted to kill Bailiji, the doctor Ji Youzhi Admonishment, if you make the emperor make a big mistake, it is the disloyalty of the minister. Although the emperor wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, but your majesty has made a mistake, and the minister should naturally give admonition. If your majesty kills the person who made the admonition, There will be no advisers in the country, not to mention that the ancestors have the law of "don't kill the officials", so Tang Yushi must not be killed!"

The corners of Chen Xiayang's drooping eyes shrugged slightly, as if it really did.

Bei Gongdi was furious and said: "Bold! Do you really think I dare not kill you? Someone--bring that court stick to the palace!"

"No, Your Majesty! Please think twice!" Chen Xiayang was startled, and quickly knelt down and said.

"Please take it back, Your Majesty!" Another person knelt down and said, but it was a middle-aged man, and it was Bei Gongdi's close minister, Hanlin Doctor Yang Zirong.

The court rod system is a system pioneered by the Jin Dynasty, which is extremely barbaric.Jin Taizu had a perverse personality. When he was irritated to the extreme by the ministers, he called the factory guard into the Wenhua Palace. One of the famous four cases and three disasters in the Jinghong period-"Yinqiu disaster" was born.On that day, countless courtiers were punished with sticks in public.The physical torture was second to none, but the original trace of bloodiness of civil servants and ministers was completely wiped out, causing extremely bad effects.

As Bei Gongdi's adviser, Chen Xiayang naturally didn't want to see such a disaster happen again, so he immediately got up and stood in the hall, pleading for Fang Jingxuan.
