Chapter 181: Five Kill Order

Xiao Chen took Li Yuanba's personal guard, and came outside the hall surrounded by a large number of officials.
At this time, Yan Qing was leading the army, under the stone steps, detaining the late court officials.
The late official who was originally full of anger and was arguing with Yan Qing, when he saw Xiao Chen coming out, he immediately yelled at him as if the creditor had found the debtor.
"Emperor, what do you mean, why did you send these people to arrest me? What mistake did I make."
"Emperor, you just ascended the throne and killed the ministers indiscriminately and excluded dissidents. Are you right about the ancestors of the Great Zhou royal family?"
"Comrades, do you just watch this little emperor kill courtiers indiscriminately? Look, the front of the Golden Temple is stained red with blood!"
Before these officials came to the Jinluang Temple, they saw the officials escorted from the main hall and killed in front of the hall, and they were suddenly angry and panic.
It is a pity that these officials who came out with Xiao Chen dodged their eyes and did not look at them.
Seeing these awe-inspiring court officials, Xiao Chen only felt funny in his heart.
If you don't know the details of these people, Xiao Chen might really think that these people are loyal ministers. It's really moving to see how they don't fear power and speak righteously.
Xiao Chen waved his hand, and Yan Qing's soldiers stopped catching up on these officials, but they still surrounded them.
"Huh, you can still recognize the situation."
Guo Congjian, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, tidied his clothes and looked up at Xiao Chen with a proud expression.
"Emperor, we can go in now! Let these people get out of the way."
A gray-haired old man squatted with his body trembling. This is a gentleman of the Ministry of Rites and one of the most senior people in the court.
However, Xiao Chen didn't let them go as they thought. Instead, he stood on the steps inexplicably, looking down at the people and said, "My sires, do you know what crimes you committed?"
This question asked Feng Wei and others to be inexplicable.
Today is your first court meeting. What crime can we commit?
"I would like to ask, the emperor, what crime did we commit?" Guo Congjian asked with a sneer.
Xiao Chen did not answer. Instead, he asked Shen Changwen who was following him: "Master Shen, tell me, what crime did they commit?"
Shen Changwen felt a little dazed by Xiao Chen's sudden inquiry.
I did nothing! How can this involve me.
However, he was also frightened by Xiao Chen's previous murder without blinking, and he had no guts to answer.
Otherwise, I don't know what kind of hat will be attached?
He bit his head and walked to Xiao Chen's side, and said, "Your Majesty Qi, the minister feels that they should have committed the crime of lateness, right?"
"delay?"
An absurd thought flashed in Guo Congjian's mind, can this be counted as a crime?
"Emperor, since we have all committed the crime of lateness, the minister is here to accompany you, and please forgive your majesty."
Although he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's random conviction, how could one not bow his head under the eaves, and give him in first.
Guo Congjian felt that he was able to apologize to Xiao Chen, which had already given him enough face.
"I will be late, please forgive me!"
The other courtiers who were late pretended to bow and apologize to Xiao Chen.
"Forgive?"
Xiao Chen sneered and said to Yan Qing, "Xiao Yi, all these rebellious officials who resisted the decree will be executed on the spot to me."
what? Is this going to kill?
Guo Congjian was shocked in his heart and raised his head and roared: "Emperor, what do you mean? There is no law in Da Zhou that you will be executed if you are late. You are the charge of chaos, I don't accept it!"
Feng Wei also protested: "The emperor, just because of this little thing, you are going to put all of us to death. This is an act of faint king, how to convince the public!"
"Masters, you are talking! Don't let the emperor mess around, otherwise there are any rules for Da Zhou."
However, what made them desperate was that these superb courtiers who played with them in the common advance and retreat against the emperor on weekdays, all bowed their heads, and no one stood up to argue for them.
Even Shen Changwen stood back in the ranks of courtiers, avoiding their sight and not looking at them.
"The law of Da Zhou? Do you still know the law of Da Zhou?"
At this time, Xiao Chen's cold voice sounded, attracting all the courtiers' eyes.
"Guo Shangshu, do you know what crime is to resist the decree in Da Zhou's law."
Standing on the steps, Xiao Chen looked down at Guo Congjian indifferently.
"To fight against the decree should be killed! But when did I wait to fight the decree?" Guo Congjian stared at Xiao Chen, gritted his teeth and asked.
Other officials who were late also stared at Xiao Chen angrily.
Xiao Chen said faintly: "I said yesterday that in the early days of today, all those who are not late or late will be killed without pardon. Why, aren't my words counted as imperial decree?"
"you……"
Guo Congjian wanted to argue, but found that what he said now seemed very pale and weak. Xiao Chen made it clear that he wanted to kill them.
Feng Wei said with a miserable expression: "Emperor, I can see clearly, what is resisting the decree, what is being late, you are determined to kill us, the charges are not important anymore."
Xiao Chen didn't say a word, so he tacitly agreed.
If you admit it, the road to the emperor is a road paved with bones.
Which emperor is in high rank is not killing countless people, his hands are covered with blood, and Xiao Chen is the same.
He waved his hand, and Yan Qing and his sergeants instantly began to massacre the courtiers.
"Ah! Xiao Chen, you must die!"
"Xiao Chen! I curse you for not having a whole body!"
"Xiao Chen! You tyrant!"
The court minister, who knew he had nowhere to survive, completely removed his disguise and shouted at Xiao Chen.
However, the screams were quickly covered up by the screams. Although these civil servants were all cultivated, they were all martial artists and soldiers.
With the strength of Yan Qing and the assistance of Zhang Liao and others, twenty or thirty court officials were slaughtered in just a few breaths.
The blood stained the entire stone steps red.
Disgusting blood filled the air for a long time.
The gate of the majestic Jinluang Temple became the execution ground for executioners.
The corpses of dozens of ministers filled the ground, making people shudder.
The surviving ministers looked at Xiao Chen's not-so-loud figure, and felt a sense of fear that they had never felt before.
This iron-blooded and cruel boy had broken their inherent knowledge of the emperor.
"From today, the highest rule of the Great Zhou Law, the emperor's words, override everything!"
"Today, I have ordered the Five Kills, and I hope you can do it for yourself!"
"Rebellious against the emperor, fight against decree and not respect, kill!"
"Negligence of duty, offenders of yang and yin, kill!"
"Form a party for personal gains, mess up the government, kill!"
"To oppress the people, to corrupt people, kill!"
"Conspiracy and rebellion, fornication with the enemy, kill!"
"This five-kill order, please keep it in your heart, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xiao Chen's icy voice floated over the palace, and all the officials had an idea.
The day of the Great Zhou Dynasty really has to change completely.
