Chapter 179: Punish officials

No one thought that Xiao Chen would come to the Jinluan Temple so early.
"Participate in Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xiao Chen walking into the hall, Zhang Liao and other generals knelt down first.
Although other officials were reluctant, they did not dare to stroke the tiger's beard at this time, and all knelt on the ground and shouted, "See your Majesty!"
Xiao Chen sat high on the dragon chair and glanced at the courtiers who were kneeling below.
The number of these ministers is less than half of the number of courtiers needed today.
As for the people who were on the list given to him by Di Renjie, only three came, all of whom were generals.
It seems that Di Renjie's prediction is correct!
"All the Qings are flat!"
"Thank your Majesty!"
The ministers all stood up and stood where they had stood in the previous dynasty, and then began to look carefully at the newly enthroned emperor.
They found that Xiao Chen, who was sitting in a high position, was indeed very different from the waste prince when he left Los Angeles.
Today Xiao Chen has faded away from the youthfulness and cowardice he had at the beginning, he has become confident and domineering, and he has already possessed a heavy kingly spirit.
"Yan Zi'an, go to the entrance of the hall and set up an hourglass for an hour and a half. After the hourglass is shining, write down all the officials who are not present," Xiao Chen said to Yan Zian.
"Yes, the slave will do it," Yan Zi'an hurriedly replied, standing next to the throne and waiting for Xiao Chen.
"Yan Qing, lead a team of sergeants to guard the hall. All the officials who are late will be taken for me!"
"Yes!"
Yan Qing arched his hands and walked away from the Jinluang Temple.
After saying these words, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sat on the dragon chair with his eyes closed and rested.
But the ministers became nervous. Seeing this posture, Xiao Chen was about to stand up.
Tick!
The hourglass stood up at the gate of the Jinluang Temple, and grains of sand slowly flowed down, making the court officials' hearts tense.
They glanced at the officials of the same dynasty who often stood next to them, but at the moment they were empty, and they began to feel sad for them.
Today they are afraid that they will be big.
Half an hour passed quickly, and when the sand in the hourglass ran out, Xiao Chen opened his eyes.
At this time, there were a lot more officials above the court, but still one-third less than the normal number of officials in the court.
And most of this one-third appeared on the list provided by Di Renjie.
Do these aristocratic families really want to give themselves a chance?
But what they thought was too simple, and Xiao Chen sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Now, the court meeting begins," Xiao Chen said directly without waiting for the late officials.
All the officials straightened their bodies and turned their attention to Xiao Chen.
"Zhai Linfeng, I'm here to ask you, Xianglong Kingdom has invaded my Great Zhou. As the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, you are not resisting at all. What can you say?"
The first person Xiao Chen wanted to perform was Zhai Linfeng, who was Xiao Tianci's confidant.
When Zhai Linfeng heard Xiao Chen's words, his body trembled, and he knelt to the ground in a hurry, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! It's not that the minister didn't send troops to save him. It is indeed that Xiao Tian bestowed that the rebel did not give him the military power. There is nothing I can do!"
Originally, Xiao Chen thought that this Zhai Linfeng was a close friend of Xiao Tianci and a military commander, and he might be a little harder, but he did not expect that this was a soft-footed shrimp.
Not only didn't hesitate, but instead pushed all the blame on the dead Xiao Tianci.
I really don't know how this person became Xiao Tianci's cronies, and how he became the marshal of soldiers and horses.
However, Xiao Chen wouldn't let him go because of this, he must kill some people.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly at him: "Zhai Linfeng, you rely on the anti-thief Xiao Tianci first, and indirectly entrapped tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers behind me. The crime deserves to be executed. Today, I will grant you a death and execute it immediately. "
Zhai Linfeng was dumbfounded. The whole set of rhetoric prepared before was useless, and Xiao Chen was about to kill himself directly.
"The minister was wronged! I beg the emperor to spare his life, and the minister is willing to resign and return home. He will never step into the court forever. Please spare your life!"
Zhai Linfeng knelt on the ground, kowtow desperately, but Xiao Chen didn't feel any softness.
"Zhang Liao, drag Zhai Linfeng out and behead to show the public, there is no mistake!"
"Chen Zunzhi," Zhang Liao arched his hands, then dragged Zhai Linfeng with one hand to cut him outside the hall.
"The emperor, although General Zhai is guilty, he is forgiven for his sentiment and asked the emperor to spare him his life."
"Yes, the emperor, General Zhai has been in the army for decades. He has no credit and hard work. I hope the emperor will spare him and allow him to resign."
"The emperor, although the Grand Marshal is guilty, he is not guilty! If the emperor really wants to kill him, please kill him with us!"
"Also ask the emperor to marshal Rao Zhai's life."
Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to drag Zhai Linfeng out and beheaded, all the generals were not calm.
Zhai Linfeng is the leader of the generals. If he was killed so casually, would they have a good life for these generals?
prevent! Must stop!
Nearly one-third of the generals in the court hall jumped out at the same time, kneeling on the ground and begging Xiao Chen to raise Zhai Linfeng's life.
If it were other emperors, facing the plea of ​​so many generals, they might have let go, but Xiao Chen was different.
He was here to stand for power today, and he even wanted these generals to jump out. Otherwise, he would make excuses for killing people, and it would be troublesome.
"You want to accompany Zhai Linfeng to death? Okay! Then I will fulfill you."
"Chengdu, all these people who wanted to accompany Marshal Zhai to death were taken out and chopped down together, which also fulfilled their dreams."
hiss!
Whether it was a civil servant or a general who did not jump out, they all took a breath.
This is more than twenty generals! If none of them are under the fifth rank, kill them if they say kill them?
Only Shen Changwen cursed secretly: idiot.
When is it all and still can't see the situation clearly? What else to kill!
You are a high-ranking authority, but you are not generals who lead soldiers outside, and it is useless if you don't assume the heavy responsibility of border defense.
Now that all the military power in Los Angeles falls into the hands of the new emperor, there is no burden to kill you.
"The emperor, spare your life! We were wrong, we don't want to die with the generals."
"The emperor, I didn't say that the marshal accompany him to death just now! Kill him if he said that!"
Seeing Yu Wencheng walking towards him with a few sergeants, these generals suddenly panicked. Only then did they realize that something was wrong!
It's a pity that it's too late. Xiao Chen looked at these people indifferently, showing no mercy at all.
Seeing this scene, Zhai Linfeng simply said cruelly in his heart: "Generals, this faint lord will not let us go. We can't sit still, go, kill the dog emperor!"
Zhai Linfeng's voice fell, and the other generals also reacted, and were now ready to take action.
Click!
However, before they had acted, Zhang Liao cut off Zhai Linfeng's head with the hook and sickle in his hand.
In front of Zhang Liao, Zhai Linfeng of the martial arts realm had no chance to fight back.
The big head rolled on the hall.
The courtiers only felt cold all over.
The Marshal of the Kingdom Soldiers and Horses just died.
