I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

It's over, it's over!

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to spare my life. I know my mistake, so I beg your Majesty to spare my life..."

Shangshu Hubu no longer defended herself at this time. She knew that her defense was useless, so she could only kneel down and beg the emperor for mercy.

However, the emperor looked at the man below who had his head smashed, with an indifferent expression, showing no intention of sparing him.

Seeing this, Mr. Chu became even more panicked.

It may also be that people lose their sense of control when they are panicked, and Mr. Chu immediately crawled to Sima Lian's side.

"Lord Sima, please help me, please help me..."

Mr. Chu felt that he showed a lot of filial piety to Sima Lian on weekdays, and Sima Lian would not leave him alone.

However, Sima Lian just closed his eyes and said no more.

Seeing Sima Lian like this, the little hope left in Hubu Shangshu's heart was suddenly dashed.

The emperor couldn't help but sneered when he saw the Minister of the Ministry of Finance acting like this.

"Not only is the Minister of Hubu alone, there are quite a few people who collude with the Governor of Yangcheng."

The emperor's words shocked many people.

"Liao Cheng, show these to all the ministers."

The emperor gave the memorial in his hand to Liao Cheng and asked Liao Cheng to take it.

Liao Cheng did not give it to the civil servants below, but instead gave it to the military commander on the side.

The emperor didn't say anything when he saw this.

"These are the evidences sent by Vice General Liu. The governor of Yangcheng has been interrogated. What he confessed is something that none of the ministers dared to reveal."

The general's eyes widened when he saw the corruption of some civil servants above.

No one thought that civil servants could be so corrupt.

After all these civil servants were loyal and patriotic all day long, who would have thought that behind the scenes they were collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Some hot-tempered generals even kicked the civil servant, knocking him to the ground.

"Bullshit, I still think you are loyal and patriotic people. Is this how you are loyal and patriotic? Are you still worthy of the sage books you have read?"

At this time, the civil servants no longer had the arrogance of the past, and even after being kicked by a military general, they did not dare to say a word.

"Damn you, a bunch of beasts! Do you know how many of our Zhou people were killed by the Fanbang people? You dare to ask them for peace, you deserve to be damned!"

The civil servants were beaten by what they called a reckless man. Although they were angry, how could they dare to say anything at this time?

"Okay, now that the evidence is conclusive, drag these people to the Meridian Gate and behead them!"

The emperor's cold reply made the hearts of all the civil servants sink. No one expected that the emperor would behead them directly.

They also thought that even if the matter was exposed and they were imprisoned, they would be able to find other ways to get out in the future.

But now the emperor not only didn't put them in prison, but actually wanted to behead them, so they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Everyone was flustered as they heard Liao Cheng read out their names one by one.

They never expected that the emperor would not even give them the last chance.

But it was clear that the emperor was the most tolerant to civil servants like them before, but now he is like this?

Some people were unwilling to give up and turned to look at the generals on the other side, feeling that these generals were instigating the emperor to become like this.

They are just a bunch of reckless people, how can they compare with people like them who study the books of saints and sages diligently?

If it were in the past, military generals might still worry about being retaliated by these civil servants.

But now when the country is in ruins, how can the generals care about this?

What's more, the emperor has ordered these people to be beheaded, so what else do they have to worry about?

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Sounds of begging for mercy sounded in the hall, but the emperor did not say anything to leave the person behind.

Finally, half of the civil servants in the hall were dragged out by the guards who had been waiting outside the door, and the entire hall fell silent.

The emperor did not explain too much, but looked at the only civil servants left in the hall.

"Dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"

After the emperor's appearance today, who dares to stand up and start playing?

Even Sima Lian has a blank mind on this matter.

"Return without incident!"

As Liao Cheng sang loudly, the emperor stood up from the dragon throne.

Only then did everyone come to their senses and hurriedly sent the emperor off respectfully.

When the emperor's figure disappeared, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

However, today's civil servants and generals were very silent, as if they had smelled the smell of blood at the door of the house.

When the high officials in the court were escorted to the Meridian Gate, many people had gathered in the vegetable market.

Everyone didn't know what was going on at first, but later they saw the notice posted by the guards, and the people knew what had happened.

"It was these beasts who colluded with the foreigners and killed so many of our soldiers. Traitors, deserve to die!"

"Bah! A bunch of things that are worse than beasts! They usually only take over the people, but now they have colluded with the foreigners to kill our people and soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will kill you all today."

"Your Majesty's Holy Might has finally pushed these scum out of the court."

These words immediately aroused the echo of many people.

"Your Majesty is holy! Your Majesty is holy! Your Majesty is holy!"

"It turns out that His Majesty has not cared about the people for so many years, but has been harmed by these beasts. Beat them to death!"

I don't know who first threw a rotten vegetable leaf at the kneeling civil servants. The people around immediately picked up the things in their hands and threw them towards the civil servants.

For a moment, the ministers wearing prison uniforms were hit with dirt on their faces, but their eyes were already filled with death.

They originally thought there was a chance to make a detour, but now the emperor was obviously unwilling to give them this opportunity, and they had no choice but to die.

The emperor did not hold back, and there were more than a dozen high-ranking officials involved in the matter.

In just one day, heads of people were killed in the capital, and the entire vegetable market was filled with the smell of blood.

Seeing that the corrupt officials who had ruined their families, oppressed them, and left them with no chance to breathe were beheaded, the people all waved their hands and cheered.

But the people in the court didn't have such a good attitude. After all, no one knew whether the emperor would find them next moment.

After Sima Lian returned from the palace, he locked himself in the study and saw no one, as if he had lost contact with everyone.

Not only that, he also claimed to be ill and no longer interfered with court affairs.

Many people felt uneasy when they saw that Sima Lian, his great supporter, had no movement.

The emperor has indeed not caught them out now, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future.

Looking at the emperor's posture today, they knew that the emperor was no longer the king who needed the reputation of mercy. What he wanted was the empire of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
