Unparalleled Concubine

Several prime ministers were locked in five cells, but they were all together. When Lord Jing'an came to the door of the five cells, he asked someone to move a chair over and sat down in the middle of the five cells.

At this time, several prime ministers knew that Li Xin had arrived, but they were all facing the wall, unwilling to look at Li Xin.

Lord Jing'an sat on the chair and did not speak. Instead, he asked someone to make a cup of tea and held it in his hand. After drinking the cup of tea in a leisurely manner, he casually threw the tea in his hand on the ground. As soon as the celadon bowl hit the ground, it immediately shattered into pieces.

There was no sound in the prison, but with the sound of celadon breaking, the bodies of the five people were all startled and trembled unconsciously.

Lord Jing'an sat on the chair, put his hands in his sleeves, and said calmly.

"I read a story once. In the story, there is a minister who is also a minister like you. His intention is probably not bad. The emperor was in power for 28 days. He felt that the emperor was not good enough, so he directly abolished the emperor and replaced him. Got one."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled: "But that minister is the general who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and you are just civil servants who are in charge of Yushitai and Shangshutai."

The five top scholars were silent and ignored Li Xin.

Li Xin was not angry, and continued to speak.

"A few of you didn't get the Three Imperial Guards, and the second didn't get the Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi. It's too much to conspire to abolish the emperor just because you can deploy troops but can't command them. A little naive."

"At this time, everyone's plan has obviously failed."

The smile on Jing'an Houye's face subsided, and he continued: "The remaining question now is, how many people do you want to die in the capital?"

"The five of you will definitely not be able to escape."

"Now I will prepare pens and ink for a few of you. Each of you will write down a list to quell this political turmoil. As for how many people are written on the paper, it all depends on your sincerity."

Speaking of this, Li Xin stood up, with his hands behind his back, and his voice was cold.

"However, if the list written by the few does not satisfy me, I will have to do the old affairs of Emperor Wu's Nightmare Town."

During the period of Emperor Wu, some people wanted to suppress the emperor. After being found out, the emperor was furious and ordered the cruel official Zhou Yuanli to copy melons and vines, follow the vines, pick melons and vines. In more than a year, more than 1 people died in the capital, and they were exiled by ransacking their homes. There are countless.

The five prime ministers are all people who have memorized the allusions of previous dynasties, so they naturally know the meaning of the old events in Nightmare Town. After hearing Li Xin's words, they couldn't help trembling.

Shen Kuan, who had been silent all this time, turned his head to Li Xin and glared at him.

"The charcoal seller, are you going to destroy the benevolent government of the three generations of Jin!"

Chapter 923 Murder

When a dynasty is peaceful for a long time, the atmosphere will naturally gradually favor literati.

When the Great Jin Dynasty was founded, it was just a Pian'an dynasty. Several generations of emperors were bullied by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the period of Emperor Wu, the dynasty favored martial arts. That's why strong men like Li Zhijie and Ye Cheng appeared. Emperor Wu once completely solved the foreign troubles. Whether it was the Southern Shu or the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they were all beaten to ashes by that generation of monarchs and ministers. However, after the unification of the world, the bad-tempered and martial arts-loving Emperor Wu did not continue to advocate force.

It is precisely because of this sentence that many surrendered officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty entered the Great Jin court at that time and did their best for the Great Jin. Today, there are still many former Northern Zhou officials or descendants of former Northern Zhou officials in the Great Jin Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu, Emperor Chengde recuperated, implemented benevolent government, abolished some unreasonable harsh policies and rules during Emperor Wu's period, and pardoned many unjust cases during Emperor Wu's period. The subsequent Taikang Dynasty also basically inherited the policies of Emperor Chengde. Not much has changed.

That's why Shen Kuan said "three generations of benevolent government in the Great Jin Dynasty".

It is precisely because after the unification of the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court treated these scholars very well. After the sages of the Chengde Dynasty, such as Zhang Quhuan and Chu, stepped down from the court, Shen Kuan, the descendants of Shangshutai, became so big-hearted and wanted to control them. Chaozheng, another day!

Until now, Shen Kuan still refused to bow his head, and cursed at Li Xin.

In this day and age, it is already very disrespectful to call someone by their name, not to mention exposing the other party. Li Xin’s old story of selling charcoal, since his fortune, almost no one dares to bring it up again. "Thief" has never happened before.

If it was a person of this era, they might violently kill people at this time.

But Li Xin didn't care much about these, he half-closed his eyes, and said calmly: "It's the first time I've heard someone call me that, Prime Minister Shen is very creative."

He has already turned his face, and Shen Kuan didn't care too much, and scolded angrily: "You got into the imperial court by clinging to the late emperor. After you made a fortune, you even concealed evil intentions, colluding with the southwestern rebels, and plotting evil! Now you want to kill my generation of ministers!" , The Great Jin Dynasty has always treated scholar-bureaucrats kindly for more than forty years, you, Li Changan, a barbarian from the South, a charcoal seller, are you trying to ruin my national fortune in the Great Jin Dynasty!"

"Good scolding."

Taifu Li clapped his palms and smiled: "I knew that you big-headed scholars would look down on me all the time in your heart, but coincidentally, I also look down on you."

"During the Chengde Dynasty, Lord Haoran and Prime Minister Huan were the real scholars. You younger generations, you talked about the Dajin Sheji, but behind your back, wasn't that for your own glory and wealth?"

"For the sake of a few phases, you dared to plot to abolish the emperor. It was really done for you. One day, you will get tired of being a prime minister. Do you want to abolish the emperor again and sit in that position by yourself?"

"I'm a barbarian?"

Lord Jing'an smiled coldly, and took out a shining long knife from the waist of the guard behind him, held it in his hand, and slashed it fiercely on the wood of the prison cell, and said coldly: "Shall I show you, what? Call it real barbarism?"

Shen Kuan had already given up the fight, and raised his head and said, "Come on, you will kill the truth now. After a hundred years, you, Li Chang'an, will definitely be scolded by future generations, dig your grave and flog your corpse, and you will be left with a bad reputation for thousands of years!"

The left minister of the Shangshutai, because of the excessive fear in his heart, is already a little hysterical at the moment.

He was spouting, and cursed at Li Xin: "I'm plotting to abolish the emperor, you Li Xin is a saint? You ran back to the capital from Yongzhou eagerly, maybe there is some conspiracy hidden in your heart, you... "

When he said this, he stopped abruptly.

Because a long knife had already been inserted into his chest, it sank several feet, and blood spewed out from his chest, the left minister fell to the ground, twitching on the ground, dying in sight.

Lord Jing'an, who had just finished moving his hands, looked at Shen Kuan coldly, put his hands into his sleeves again, expressionless.

"I still can't see the situation clearly, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Lord Jing'an snorted coldly.

"I started killing people at the age of 16. Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken."

Shen Kuan twitched on the ground for a while, and then slowly stopped moving, with his eyes wide open, unwilling to die.

Lord Jing'an's expression remained calm.

"It's cheaper for you."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the other four people, and said indifferently: "Will you all cooperate with me, or will you die in the prison of Dali Temple like Shen Xiang, and then the whole family, disciples, and disciples will all die because of him?"

Compared with Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo was much calmer, but seeing Shen Kuan die in front of his own eyes, this Yan Sikong couldn't hold on any longer. He glanced at Li Xin with some fear, and after swallowing his saliva, his voice Some trembling.

"Li... Taifu Li, you killed the minister who was ordered by the late emperor..."

"so what?"

Li Xin sat back on the chair and said coldly: "I came back to the capital to do this. You are nothing more than bullying His Majesty's cowardice and dare not kill people. Now I can take the responsibility for killing people on my own head." , Yan Sikong thinks that the court's law can fall on my head?"

Yan Shouzhuo clenched his teeth, trembling slightly.

After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Li...Teacher, I'm not guilty of waiting for this."

Li Xin waved his hand behind him, and said, "Get some pens and paper for Yan Sikong and the three prime ministers."

The cells in Dali Temple were considered luxurious, and there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the cells, and soon several Habayashi guards handed the pens and papers to the cells of several people.

"Write now."
