Absolute protagonist

Dong——

The funeral bells rang, and the emperor passed away.

The new emperor ascended the throne on the same day, without hiding his preferences, and was too lazy to even do superficial work. He just asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go through the procedures and bury him. As for mourning and crying, there was no such thing.

Coincidentally, on the same day, the entire Wei royal family, from the emperor to the clan members, all died. It is said that they all died at the hands of the brutal Northern Yuan cavalry.

However, the rumor that the new emperor killed his father and brother and massacred the clan members quietly spread in Beijing. After being supplemented and processed by the vast number of people, it soon became one of the materials for countless novelists.

"Hmm... the details are detailed and full of twists and turns. Although it is a bit fictional and speculative, it is still vivid and interesting to read. Good review!"

In Qianyuan Hall, the new emperor sat behind the imperial desk and flipped through a booklet in his hand with interest. He read the story of "The Night of the Palace Coup" from beginning to end, gave his own evaluation, and finally asked: "What do you think of this story?"

Ministers: "...!"

...Who is the guy who is secretly making trouble and dragging them into the water? !

So Chu Si took out another booklet from the imperial desk: "Huh... This story is not bad either, it is written from another perspective..."

He slowly read another version of the story again, with a rhythmic tone, which was quite fascinating.

The ministers below the steps felt their scalps tingling and cold sweat soaked through their inner clothes unconsciously. How dare they say a word more.

Chu Si put down the booklet in his hand and spoke again. One name after another popped out of his mouth without thinking, and every person he named stiffened involuntarily. Bathed in Chu Si's thoughtful eyes, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"My dear ministers, you are quite good at making up stories." The young emperor behind the imperial desk said with a smile, and then waved his hand, his tone turned cold, "Come on, drag them away!"

Before the civil and military officials could react, a group of guards who had been standing respectfully on the side rushed into the hall, tied these people's hands behind their backs, blocked their mouths and dragged them away. They didn't give these people any chance to defend themselves.

The whole hall was silent, and all the ministers were silent.

Even those who wanted to argue a little, saw the Northern Flame Army soldiers standing on the side in armor and staring at them, and hurriedly shut their mouths.

Chu Si shook his head at this.

They are a mess in governing the country, weak and incompetent in foreign wars, but they are all good at corruption and conspiracy! No wonder this Wei Dynasty is doomed!

He held his chin with one hand and said lightly: "Kill them all."

A group of guards immediately raised their knives and slashed, blood was spilled all over the imperial steps, and the clothes of several ministers at the end of the team were splashed.

To be honest, Chu Si didn't care what the people said. But he couldn't tolerate some people secretly stirring up trouble and manipulating public opinion to force him to bow his head. As for what the people think and how they are evaluated in history... Anyway, it is Jiang Hong's vest that is being cursed, what does it have to do with him, Chu Si?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh: "I have always been magnanimous and didn't want to kill more people, but some people don't know how to live or die!"

Ministers: "..."

... You are the boss, you are right!

They have a deep understanding of the difference between the present and the previous emperor. Not only is he more evil-minded and ruthless, but he is also more shameless.

The methods used by the civil service group to secretly fight against the emperor in the past were completely useless here. He omitted the process of secretly testing each other, and ignored the so-called political unwritten rules. The new emperor just said a few words and killed a group of officials without considering any consequences!

——This unreasonable trick really shocked them, and some ministers were weak in the calves.

On one side of the pillar of the palace, a historian was writing furiously, compiling the daily notes of the current emperor. His hands were shaking, but he faithfully wrote the scene that happened in the Qianyuan Hall into the history books.

Ah, I am so excited, I feel like I have witnessed history with my own eyes!

Tsk, tsk, this is the beginning of Wei Lizong's killing of ministers and abuse of officials recorded in history.

This tragedy caused by the story book is known as the Qingli case in history, and the author of the story book, Mr. Qingli, has also become famous in an alternative way.

Starting from the Qingli case, the entire last years of Xiande Dynasty were the end of the Xiande Dynasty officials. Wei Lizong's killing of ministers and abusing officials were cursed by those literati for a thousand years in history. His cruelty was criticized as second only to "killing his brother and father, bloodbathing the royal family" - although we now know that this is not Wei Lizong's fault at all! I have to say it.

It feels like a strange boss suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room, and the style of painting is different. [I often feel out of tune with you because I am not stupid enough]

Oh my god! When I was a child, I naively believed the nonsense of these literati and slandered my Majesty for so many years! These guys only remember to scold our Majesty for killing ministers, why don't they remember to write about how they forced Emperor Xiande to surrender to the Northern Yuan Dynasty? Two-faced! It's so hateful! Your Majesty killed well!

What's wrong with surrendering to the Northern Yuan Dynasty? Let alone the same human race like the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty. Even human races on different planets must now pay attention to treating them equally. Politically incorrect, kid! On the contrary, it was Wei Lizong. According to historical records, the measures he took during his reign caused the population of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to drop by 30% in ten years. It is absolutely correct to say that he was a tyrant!

See you soon! Analyze specific issues in detail, without considering the background of the times? To actually meet a living Madonna like you...

The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly started to go awry. A group of viewers were arguing, and the two parties were arguing. Dense black characters rushed past quickly. Chu Si glanced at it unintentionally and felt dizzy.

As those in the live broadcast room said, what just happened was just an appetizer. Chu Si glanced around below. The courtiers who were just about to make a move before were now all well-behaved and posing like quails.

However, they wanted to reveal everything, but the young king who had taken over the case had no intention of giving up.

Still smiling, he reached out and pushed a stack of documents piled in the other corner of the jade case in front of him.

He unfolded a book casually and read it softly.

"The despicable people of the Southern Kingdom respectfully ask about the birth and moon of the heaven and the earth, the Subu Great Chanyu..." After reading this, he paused, "Tsk, tsk, you gentlemen are not only good at telling stories, but you are also masters of flattery!"

As he spoke, he continued to read.

This is clearly a letter written to the Great Chanyu of the Northern Yuan Dynasty asking for surrender, and the words are even more humble to the extreme.

The ministers looked at each other in astonishment for a moment.

After all, it doesn't matter if you beg for peace and surrender from the barbarians in private and flatter them like crazy, but it will be embarrassing if you reveal it to the public.

There is no doubt that the pile of documents in Chu Si's hand were letters written by officials of the imperial court to Bei Yuan, asking for surrender. Each of the contents was more humble and disgusting than the last, which really opened Chu Si's eyes and gained a lot of rainbow fart tricks.

From the throne, a clear voice came slowly, but the faces of many ministers present could be heard getting hot, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl under.

This was a document they had written in advance and planned to present when they surrendered after Beiyuan destroyed the city, but now Chu Si had left it open. It was as if someone had stripped her naked on the spot and stripped off her face.

The old prime minister, who always cherished his reputation, even vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Chu Si blinked in shock, his expression innocent.

He groaned: "...Hmm."

Every word on it was written by themselves, and they were just reciters. I was very excited when I was writing, but I vomited three liters of blood when I was listening. This kind of mental endurance is too fragile! It seems that more exercise is needed!

Ministers: ...No, we don’t want orz at all.

They watched blankly as the emperor flipped through the letters like picking cabbage.

"You are all top-notch talents. I think these calligraphy treasures must be priceless... They are worth collecting carefully and passing them on to future generations..."

The ministers collapsed on the ground, their faces ashen.

insidious! Too insidious!

In history, all civil and military officials were involved in such major cases, and the emperor could often only temporarily settle the matter, and at most only a few conspicuous things could happen. After all, in an environment where the country is governed by people, if all civil and military officials are imprisoned, the entire bureaucracy will get out of control, and the emperor will lose control of the world in an instant.

...I didn’t expect that this emperor would be so insidious!

When all the officials were vomiting blood, they saw the young king behind the case sighing deeply: "But the treasury is currently empty... If someone is sincere and willing to donate generously and devote all his efforts to purchase, I will be willing to sacrifice myself. My dearest self, I bear the pain of giving up my love!”

As he spoke, he showed a pained expression.

Ministers: "..."

...Is this how you use the big self if you let go of the small self? Who really deserves the heartache!

Although the evil dragon roared in their hearts, under the soft threat of "the eternal infamy" and the hard threat of the swords and guns shining in the hands of the sergeants, the ministers still had to kneel down with smiles on their faces and express their "sincere" expressions that they were willing to Spend everything you have to buy back these precious calligraphy treasures!

The emperor asked again and again, but the ministers all expressed resolutely that they had no regrets and were willing to take the initiative to give everything they had to benefit the country. So the emperor was moved and accepted all the property of these ministers.

Little did they know that this was just the beginning.

When the Wei Dynasty changed dynasties, the situation in the entire world was also undergoing drastic changes.

The Beiyuan Army, which had been temporarily repelled by Chu Si, was reorganizing its troops and was about to send its troops south again soon; the rebel forces within the empire were getting stronger and stronger, and had already swept through thirteen counties, large and small. Wherever he passed, the people were eating pots of pulp, as if they were welcoming the king's master.

But in Ziyang City, the capital of the Wei Dynasty, there was continuous blood. Almost every day, for various reasons, officials confiscated their homes, sent them into exile, and executed them.

"Xu Yong", who led the newly established Investigation Department and destroyed countless families, has therefore become the second most hated person in the eyes of countless officials.

As for the moody new emperor, of course he is firmly at the top of the list.

It's a pity that these ministers were unable to resist the use of force to suppress everything. They could only work hard every day and be squeezed. They also had to worry about their lives being revealed by the emperor at any time, so they worked even more conscientiously.

For a time, the entire Wei bureaucracy ran a hundred times faster than before, and the administrative efficiency of civil and military officials was unprecedentedly high.

This period of history, which was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by countless literati in later generations, was also adapted and processed by novelists and passed down to future generations. There is even a joke in the unofficial history: During Wei Lizong's reign, ministers had to check their suicide notes before going to court every day.

…

On this day, Chu Si once again issued a package of confiscation and exile, and ignored the ministers' suggestions to exterminate the rebels. Chu Si dismissed the court meeting and slowly left the Qianyuan Hall.

Xue Hai suddenly followed, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "... Your Majesty, the rebel army is growing stronger and stronger, and it will be difficult to control it. If you entrust it to the wrong person, there may be a danger of the sword being held upside down."

In fact, it was difficult for him to understand why Chu Si would rashly hand over such a force to others, while he was just commanding from afar. The few days of getting along with the refugees at the beginning were not enough to make Xue Hai feel at ease about Lin Wuwei.

Now that the rebel army is growing stronger, his vigilance against Lin Wuwei is getting stronger and stronger. After all, supreme power can easily corrupt people's hearts!

Chu Si smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, everything is still under control."

xx Chanyu, born by heaven and earth and appointed by the moon, respectfully asks the Han Emperor if he is well...

This is the opening format of the Han Dynasty Xiongnu Chanyu writing a letter to the Han Emperor. At that time, the Xiongnu Chanyu was particularly shameless and called himself "born by heaven and earth and appointed by the moon."
