Chapter 162: Changes in political situation, winning people’s hearts

Looking at these letters, King Qi showed an expression of disbelief, as if these letters were not originally from him.

There was nothing unusual about his face, and his figure was still tall, tall, elegant and upright.

Because he did stop very quickly, Yan Yunxiao couldn't catch the direct evidence of him.

If Yan Yunxiao insists on using this to question his crime, he cannot be sentenced to death.

Yan Yunxiao probably didn't dare to do anything too extreme. After all, there were quite a few of these gang members. If he was pushed into a panic by everyone, he would be afraid that they would jump over the wall and risk their lives to fight him.

At that time, I am afraid that the court will mutiny and these people will unite to rebel.

He just thought like this, but also speculated that things had come to this point, what else could Yan Yunxiao do?

You must be angry and frustrated, but you are unable to prevent this situation, right?

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a small official knelt down uncontrollably and trembled all over.

He had nothing to say, but when he saw the pile of letters, he was afraid that he would lose his balance and knelt down.

He thought to himself, it's all over now.

Originally, he did not want to join King Qi's command, but because King Qi repeatedly sent people to persuade him and extend an olive branch to him, due to King Qi's power, he did not dare to disobey, so he surrendered to King Qi.

The good days haven't lasted ten days yet, so why did you ask His Majesty to find out?

This time, I must be like Commander Qi and have everyone beheaded, right?

Yan Yunxiao slowly walked down from the high platform, his eyes focused on several officials, and he raised his lips meaningfully, with a cold arc.

The scene instantly became extremely cold, and the horrible smell of blood seemed to be lingering on everyone's noses.

No one in the civil and military dynasty said a word.

Then Yan Yunxiao picked up a letter, opened it, slowly opened his lips and read the contents of the book.

Among them is the content of official A going to persuade official B to submit to King Qi, and several officials who are already under the command of King Qi are also cited to enhance the persuasion.

The content of the text is very obscure, but these people can figure out the meaning with their toes while walking around in the court.

He read in a calm tone, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed from guilt to fear. Several people whose names were read knelt down and kowtowed, waiting for His Majesty to finish reading and prepare to quibble.

"His Majesty."

One person spoke first.

However, Yan Yunxiao was not in a hurry to accuse him.

I saw him throwing the envelope in his hand into the three-legged beast furnace nearby. After a while, the smell of burning paper came from the incense.

He burned the letter.

Everyone looked at him in confusion and did not dare to say anything. They just watched his reaction quietly.

King Qi frowned and looked at him. He didn't know if it was because he heard the content of the letter just now and was confused and shocked by Yan Yunxiao's ability to collect clues.

Yan Yunxiao asked coldly, "Listen, dear friends, is this true or false?"

It looked like he was about to be charged.

Then he said, "It's all burned."

The young eunuch responded and conveyed the message, and soon someone brought up a brazier for Yan Yunxiao to burn the letters.

"Your Majesty, this is"

"Your Majesty should investigate carefully. With so many letters, I'm afraid they have been corrupted for a long time!"

The two loyal ministers tried to persuade him, but they obviously didn't expect that King Qi's hands would be so long, and he could almost capture the entire power in the court!

Yan Yunxiao glanced at the two of them, neither denying nor agreeing. Then he picked up the letters and threw them away. All the papers were thrown into the brazier. The papers spread out, revealing many handwritings. Many people saw them.

's notes.

"Your Majesty! Why are you doing this?"

The loyal minister was a little puzzled. It could be seen from his slightly angry expression that he was very disdainful and even disgusted with these people's blatant clique behavior.

It's really shameful to do these things behind the scenes while holding Yan's salary in hand!

Yan Yunxiao watched the letters being gradually burned to ashes in the brazier, pacing quietly with his hands behind his back, scanning all the people present.

He saw that there were many people with guilty consciences who dared not even raise their heads.

However, he only opened his lips and said something indifferently.

"In the past, there were many complicated roads, and it was inevitable to go astray. But now the road is wide, so you have to see the road under your feet carefully."

Although his voice was not loud, it was cold and majestic, and it came with a strong momentum, which was shocking.

Your Majesty, do you mean to let everyone involved in the party go free?

In fact, Yan Yunxiao also made a decision after careful consideration.

With King Qi's temperament, it is impossible for him to sit at home and wait for others to come close to him. In order to expand his power, he will definitely go out and extend an olive branch first.

It is thought that many of them were coerced.

If he were beaten to death with a stick, it would definitely be chilling.

After all, Qi Mingzheng's incident has already achieved the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. If he continues to be ruthless, I am afraid that things will turn against him and cause discomfort to everyone, and they will regard him as an absolute murderer.

Now, it's time to shake things up and let them know who is trustworthy.

A few days ago, Yan Yunxiao deliberately ignored them for a few days. Many people asked King Qi how to deal with it, but King Qi refused and disappeared.

I don’t know how many people are already sick of King Qi.

Now that His Majesty is so magnanimous and does not hold anyone responsible, everyone can only be grateful and show awe for His Majesty's broad mind!

King Qi's face froze, and his face looked very ugly.

If he is betrayed by someone, he will definitely make the other party suffer a terrible death.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yunxiao, who has a big picture view, actually let these people go?

He was still a little confused, but when Yan Yunxiao said these words, he realized where he had lost.

Yan Yunxiao's foundation in the imperial capital city is unstable because he has no supporters and cannot be trusted by courtiers.

This time, didn't it allow him to establish an influence and attract a wave of people's hearts?

And he has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and has three circles of flatterers around him, but he has never worried about the three words "winning the hearts and minds of the people".

Therefore, he has never paid attention to this aspect.

Now it seems that he made a wrong move, but because Yan Yunxiao turned an army against him, his small move turned into a huge pit!

For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and shouted in unison: Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a broad mind, I can't wait for the unexpected!

King Qi narrowed his eyes and chuckled, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, cupped his fists and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are so generous."

The last two sounds are dragged out a bit, which makes it sound a bit strange.

Yan Yunxiao raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said, "I believe that King Qi will not do these things, right?"

As their eyes met, dangerous sparks burst out.

And Yan Yunxiao has already given these people a chance. It depends on them how they will take the future.

If there is a next time, not to mention Yan Yunxiao, even some loyal ministers will be embarrassed to plead for this group of people again.

This incident raised the fear in everyone's hearts to an extremely high level, but the story went on silently. After a year, it turned out to be boring, and all thoughts were focused on the political situation of Yan State.
