Chapter 388: Prostrate like a dog, slashing the crown with a sword(1/2)

When thousands of voices from outside the hall echoed to Liu Bei's voice, the ministers of Yizhou in the hall were instantly frightened and turned pale.

"The emperor's wrath will kill millions of people and bleed for thousands of miles."

Most of the ministers present have heard this sentence.

Even the ministers who have never heard this sentence have experienced such a scene back then.

That year, Liu Bei's white hair was not so prosperous. In that year, many Yizhou families fell under the wrath of Liu Bei's king.

The bloody scene back then, even to this day, is still vividly remembered by many ministers.

Therefore, although Liu Bei now looks older than in previous years, when he raised his sword and shouted the word "Hu Ben", many Yizhou ministers in the hall subconsciously ignored the white hair on Liu Bei's head.

There was a chill of extreme fear in their hearts.

Although the emperor is old, he can still draw his sword.

After realizing this, more Yizhou ministers knelt on the ground.

They all cried and begged Liu Bei to investigate.

However, no matter how many Yizhou ministers were crying in the main hall, it would not slow down the actions of Huben outside the main hall.

Thousands of tiger warriors will only obey Liu Bei's call at this moment.

Just a moment after thousands of tigers responded, groups of tigers holding sharp blades and wearing fine armor rushed straight into the hall under the leadership of Mi Wei.

After a while, the entire Mingde Hall was surrounded by bright and cold sword light.

And when this scene happened, the cries and begging for mercy in the entire hall became louder and louder.

The loud cries and begging for mercy that rose up into the sky seemed to be about to knock off the roof of Mingde Hall.

Seeing those Yizhou ministers who just talked about the country's justice, but now they were like biting vicious dogs, wagging their tails at him when in danger, the anger in Liu Bei's heart became more intense.

This is the "righteousness" of his great man!

Liu Bei didn't understand why they didn't cherish it even though he had given them a chance back then.

Liu Bei couldn't understand even more why they were not satisfied even though he had never been stingy in giving them status, honor, gold and silver.

The reason why Liu Bei convened this great court meeting was that he realized that the recent turmoil in the Han Dynasty was not only aimed at Mi Yang, but also an alternative challenge to his rule launched by many Yizhou ministers after they had rested for several years.

So in fact, long before the official meeting of the imperial court was held, Liu Bei had thought about drawing his sword to intimidate them.

What he didn't expect was that those Yizhou aristocratic families had become so corrupt.

So corrupt that I can no longer expect anything from them.

In this case, Liu Bei is not a person who hesitates.

Liu Bei looked at the many Yizhou ministers kneeling on the ground. He looked at Mi Wei and ordered loudly:

"All the ministers whose native place is in Yizhou will be taken away and sent to jail pending trial."

Although Mi Zhu only read the evidence of Qiao Yu's crime just now, there are still many evidence of the crime of Yizhou ministers that have not been stated clearly and have not been reviewed.

But looking at the extremely panicked behavior of many Yizhou ministers, it can be seen that most Yizhou ministers have evil intentions in their hearts.

In this case, Liu Bei could only temporarily imprison all the ministers of Yizhou as a precaution.

After the subsequent court officials have reviewed all the evidence, they will convict each of the Yizhou ministers. If there are any innocent Yizhou ministers who are imprisoned, they will be released.

Moreover, even if there is no other evidence of crime, Yizhou aristocratic families attach great importance to marriage from one generation to the next.

Now that we have irrefutable evidence of the Brazilian Qiao family's conspiracy, are we still afraid that the interrogation will not yield any evidence of the crimes of other Yizhou families?

When Liu Bei's order came out, the minister of Yizhou, who was closer to Liu Bei, was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down in front of Liu Bei step by step to beg for mercy.

But facing these bold ministers of Yizhou, Mi Wei would not be polite at all.

Although Mi Yang is not his younger brother, Mi Wei and Mi Yang are the only two people left in the second generation of the Mi family.

In addition, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang have a very good relationship, so Mi Wei loves Mi Yang as much as a younger brother.

In the past few days, these Yizhou ministers had slandered Mi Yang in every possible way, which had already filled Mi Wei's stomach with anger.

Now that the time has come to rectify these Yizhou aristocratic families, how could Mi Wei give up this great opportunity?

So after seeing the actions of those Yizhou ministers, Mi Wei immediately commanded some tigers to step forward and take those Yizhou ministers away first.

When Huben stepped forward to take away the Yizhou ministers, there were still several Yizhou ministers who could not understand the situation and wanted to resist.

Facing these ill-minded Yizhou ministers, Mi Wei had no habit of adapting to their shortcomings.

Following Mi Wei's suggestion, Huben, who was responsible for escorting away the Yizhou ministers, immediately raised his scabbard and struck them hard on the back several times.

Under the severe pain, the Yizhou ministers finally gave up their struggle and obediently allowed Huben behind them to take them away.

It's just that not only these Yizhou ministers in the hall showed signs of resistance, but many Yizhou ministers also felt that they were from a wealthy family and held noble and noble positions, so when faced with Huben who stepped forward to take them away, he said:

Very uncooperative.

How can a descendant of an aristocratic family be humiliated at the hands of a disciple?

But after seeing this phenomenon, before Mi Wei could issue an order, Liu Bei's face turned cold, and he sternly ordered to the many tigers in the hall:

“Everyone is waiting to die, so why should there be any doubt?

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"

When Liu Bei's order was heard by many tigers and warriors, their spirits were all shocked, and the movements of their hands instantly became rude.

There are even many Huben who no longer use their scabbards to point at the Yizhou ministers, but instead use their blades.

After hearing these words, many Yizhou ministers had their energy and spirit drained from their bodies in an instant.

One by one, Yizhou ministers collapsed on the ground like dead dogs, allowing Huben to drag them away one by one from the floor of the hall.

Under the threat of killing without mercy, the tigers and soldiers greatly accelerated the progress of dragging many Yizhou ministers out of the hall.

Soon after, the hall suddenly became empty, and the loud, noisy, and annoying cries and begging for mercy disappeared in an instant.

However, there is still a Yizhou minister who has not been dragged away in the main hall, and that person is Qiao Yu.

The reason why Qiao Yu was not dragged out of the hall by the tiger warriors was not because the tiger warriors did not see him.

It's just because among the many ministers of Yizhou, he is the only one who has been proven to have rebellious intentions.

Other Yizhou ministers still needed to be dragged away to jail to await trial, but Qiao Yu did not need this step.

What awaits him is not a trial, but a judgment of guilt.

After the other Yizhou ministers were dragged away, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Qiao Yu, even Liu Bei.

Looking at Qiao Yu who was heartbroken, Liu Bei's face clearly showed disgust.

Liu Bei wanted to directly issue an edict to exterminate Qiao Yu's clan, but his idea was blocked by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and advised Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, destroy one easy task and eliminate all difficulties."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's advice, Liu Bei immediately realized what Zhuge Liang meant.

It is completely sufficient to exterminate the Brazilian Qiao family based on the current evidence. However, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang painstakingly planned this grand meeting, and they did not want to target only one family.

What the two of them, the monarch and his ministers, want is that with the help of this great dynasty, the entire Yizhou family will suffer a heavy blow.

To achieve this goal, we cannot temporarily exterminate the Brazilian Qiao clan.

Because although the boxes Mi Zhu brought contained many incriminating evidences against the Yizhou family, those incriminating evidences had not yet been systematically sorted out.

In this case, Zhuge Liang did not know which Yizhou families had evidence of crimes.

It is also unclear whether the crimes committed by those Yizhou aristocratic families who have obtained evidence of their crimes can bring them to a standstill.

Therefore, Qiao Yu cannot be exterminated for the time being. As long as Liu Bei does not issue an order to exterminate Qiao Yu's clan in Brazil, Qiao Yu will still have hope in his heart.

With hope, Zhuge Liang can then use the Brazilian Qiao clan and assist Mi Zhu to bring evidence, thereby gradually disintegrating the power of the entire Yizhou family.

After understanding the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei immediately changed his mind.

Liu Bei ordered in front of all his ministers: "Qiao Yu has conspired to rebel and will be imprisoned to be executed."

After saying this order, Liu Bei then ordered: "Order Huben to go to the Qiao Mansion to arrest a group of Qiao clan members and put them all in jail pending trial."

Qiao Yu, who collapsed on the ground, knew that he was destined to die, so when he heard Liu Bei's first order, he had no reaction.

But when he heard that Liu Bei wanted to attack the entire Qiao clan, a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.

In desperation, he wanted to plead with Liu Bei, but before he could utter his plea, he was dragged out of the hall by the tiger behind him.

After receiving Liu Bei's order, Mi Wei immediately led a group of tiger warriors and ran out of the hall and hurried out of the palace gate.

After temporarily dealing with the affairs of the Minister of Yizhou, Liu Bei walked up to Liu Ba step by step with a long sword in hand.

If the Yizhou Minister's treasonous move made Liu Bei angry, then Liu Ba's collusion with them made Liu Bei feel a little sad.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Ba had never been truly loyal to him.

It's just that he thinks he has great trust in Liu Ba and has given Liu Ba ample opportunities to display his talents. He doesn't understand why Liu Ba is so stubborn and unrepentant.

If it weren't for Liu Ba's help today, the Yizhou family would not have received so much support from the beginning.

When Liu Ba saw Liu Bei approaching him with his sword raised, a look of fear quickly appeared on his face.
