Chapter 1361 Confiscation of Household
Zhang Tuohai's words caused the entire hall to fall silent.
Not only were the ministers confused, even the leader of the imperial guards was shocked by Zhang Tuohai's words.
Kill all the ministers who are standing?
He secretly glanced behind him. There were half of the high-ranking officials, including the important officials of the six ministries. The youngest was a third-rank official. If they were outside, the ground would tremble if they stomped their feet.
They were going to cut them all down, did he hear it right?
The officials were even more shocked.
It's not that they haven't seen incompetent and tyrannical rulers before. The history books of all dynasties have recorded the atrocities committed by various incompetent and tyrannical rulers. However , they have never heard of an emperor who would chop off the heads of ordinary officials as soon as he came to power.
If half of the officials were beheaded at once, who would the emperor rely on to govern the country?
Most of the officials stayed where they were and did not react.
The King of Jin was so shocked that he froze in his tracks. He then shouted, "How dare you! These are all the most important officials of Daqian. How dare you kill them?"
"Stupid emperor, stupid emperor!" At this time, an official rushed out, lying on the ground and shouting, "The late emperor! My ancestors! Open your eyes and look at the absurd things your unworthy descendants have done. They actually want to kill all the loyal officials in the court. Where is justice? Where is fairness? If justice does not exist, what is the point of me still living in this world? I might as well die in front of this palace!"
As the censor said this, he charged towards a dragon-shaped pillar.
Beside him, of course, there were two friendly censors who tried their best to stop him: "Brother Li, you can't do this! You can't do this!"
Li Qingyuan looked at the noisy scene below and couldn't help biting his lips.
But there was nothing she could do.
The late emperor's teachings did not provide any means to deal with such a situation.
She turned and looked at Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but laugh when he saw the noisy scene below.
He said to the leader of the Imperial Guards who was still kneeling in front of him, "Didn't the censor say he wanted to crash into death in front of the palace? I think he is too thin and weak, and I'm afraid he doesn't have enough strength. You take two people to help him. You must help him fulfill his wish. Otherwise, I will chop off your head. Do you understand?"
Zhang Tuohai said to the leader of the imperial guards.
"This, I obey your command!"
The leader of the imperial guards looked at the censor, then at Li Qingyuan on the dragon throne, and seeing that the latter did not express any objection, he immediately nodded in response.
Although killing a censor would cause him to be scolded as the emperor's running dog by other censors and historians, he would die now if he disobeyed orders.
It’s easy to choose between living and being infamous.
The leader of the imperial guards, along with two other imperial guards, arrested the censor named Li.
"Give him a hand!"
The leader of the Royal Guards waved his hand.
“Yes!”
The two guards exerted force.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the head of the censor surnamed Li was hit hard on the Panlong Pillar.
The head of the censor surnamed Li split open like a rotten watermelon, and white brain matter splashed all over the ground.
"Drag him out! Hang him at the palace gate as a warning to all. If anyone imitates him, use this as an example."
Zhang Tuohai said calmly.
"yes!"
The body of the censor named Li was dragged out.
"Stupid emperor, stupid emperor! No one in our dynasty has ever been convicted for speech, yet you dare to kill the censor. Your brutal behavior will surely be despised by the people of the world. When I return, I will record this in the history books and make you bear eternal infamy!"
An old official said, trembling all over.
"Go back?" Zhang Tuohai sneered, "You have no chance to go back. Come on, chop him up!"
Zhang Tuohai said to a guard.
"Yes, sir!"
Those guards were all brought out by Zhang Tuohai from the Prince of Qin's Palace.
In terms of loyalty, they are much higher than the Royal Guards.
They were all waiting for the King of Qin to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, and they would be promoted accordingly. How could they allow these officials to ruin their own future?
After hearing the order, the guard immediately drew out his long sword and slashed hard, and the old official's head flew out.
Blood was spilled all over the hall.
"I remember I just said that there is no need for the officials who are still standing to live. Why don't you take action?"
Zhang Tuohai asked in a cold voice.
"yes!"
The guards from the Prince of Qin's mansion immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
He chopped down the officials who were still standing.
When those officials saw that Zhang Tuohai actually dared to take action, they were so scared that their legs went limp.
When it comes to conspiracies and intrigues, as well as court struggles, they are all experts in their respective fields.
But when it comes to wielding a knife to kill people, they are not very good at it.
How could they be a match for the guards who were as fierce as wolves and tigers? Those civil servants were all killed in the first round.
Only a few generals managed to hold on by relying on their family martial arts.
But they were required to take off their weapons when they went to court. How could they defeat the numerous armed guards with bare hands?
After a few rounds, all of these generals had their heads chopped off.
For a moment, the court was filled with heads and blood.
The officials kneeling on the ground were trembling with fear.
King Jin was stunned when he saw this scene.
He never thought that Zhang Tuohai would dare to kill someone in the court.
Moreover, he killed nearly half of the ministers in one go . Is he crazy?
"You, how dare you?"
Prince Jin pointed at Zhang Tuohai in disbelief.
"Why shouldn't I?"
Zhang Tuohai sneered.
"I remember that the Prince of Jin seemed to be an official who had been standing all the time, right? Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin refuses to obey the Emperor, I will send him off!"
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he drew the long sword from his waist and chopped off King Jin's head with one stroke.
Zhang Tuohai raised the head of King Jin and asked loudly, "Who else?"
There was total silence in the hall.
Zhang Tuohai waited for ten breaths, and seeing that no one dared to speak, he said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are traitors who rebel. This is really abominable. This national teacher should eliminate the turbidity and evil and return Your Majesty a peaceful and stable world."
After Zhang Tuohai finished speaking, he gathered the guards and walked out of the hall.
"What are we going to do?" asked a guard leader curiously.
"Of course it's a house search!" Zhang Tuohai smiled.
Since those ministers have been offended, they might as well offend them to the end.
Since everyone has been killed, we might as well cut the thorns and confiscate their property.
In addition to intimidating others, plundering wealth, and filling the treasury, Zhang Tuohai also wanted to accumulate more attribute points.
Just now in the court, Zhang Tuohai collected some skills.
But most of them are skills like factional fighting, framing, flattery, fire dragon burning warehouse, ghost soldiers borrowing food, etc. They are useless and can only be exchanged for attribute points.
Zhang Tuohai wanted to search their house to see if he could find something good.
He is now in great need of attribute points and proficiency.
There are still a few skills that have not been fully practiced.
In addition, he felt that the power of the skills he had was a little lacking, and he needed something better. At present, the Qin Palace had been almost plundered, so he could only go to the homes of those ministers to see if he could gain something.
The guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace walked like a long dragon on the long street, heading towards the homes of the convicted officials one by one.
