Chapter 400 The joint coercion of aristocratic clans!
For a moment, the officials were stunned!
The spokespersons of the famous families were even more like a blow to the head.
What do you mean, your majesty is going to kill you, are you really not afraid of the dissatisfaction of the powerful faction?
clang!
A huge cauldron was lifted up by Xiao Jian with one hand and placed in the Tai Chi Hall with a bang.
Then, a eunuch came up with an oil drum, as if it had been prepared in advance, and it was done in one go.
This scene made all the important people from the wealthy families dumbfounded.
When they saw the eunuchs pouring oil, their scalps suddenly exploded!
Your Majesty, are you serious?!
Xingyang Zheng family, Zheng Yilong's face turned directly into the color of pig liver.
Kneeling on the ground, his whole body stiffened and his lips trembled slightly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Qin Yun didn't smile, he stood up and walked forward, looking down and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Isn't that what you mean?"
Zheng Yilong was completely panicked.
His pupils were frightened and he kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't make any mistakes!"
"The villain has never insulted the Holy One. Please show mercy to me outside the law."
"I, the Zheng family of Xingyang, have always been loyal to Your Majesty...!"
That voice made me cry.
The civil and military officials looked at it with stern expressions on their faces, almost guessing the cause of the matter.
Qin Yun was disdainful and played with the taste.
"I know your loyalty, so I want to test it.
"Didn't you just say that as long as I give my order, you are willing to get out of the frying pan and go to the mountain of knives? Did I hear you correctly?"
"Now it's time for you to prove it, come on, get angry!"
Looking at the torch, Zheng Yilong's vision almost went dark and he almost fainted.
That's fucking frying, not beheading. Who can withstand this torture?
The spokespersons of other aristocratic families all twitched their mouths.
It's just a sentence to go up the knife mountain and go down the frying pan. Your Majesty, by doing this, isn't it clear that you are deliberately finding faults?
They understand the meaning of dying lips and cold teeth.
So we stood up together.
"Your Majesty, please show mercy."
"The Zheng family in Xingyang belongs to a famous family. It can be traced back to the master Zheng Gong, and it has the merit of serving the dragon during the Emperor Gaozu's period. If Your Majesty is so careless about human life, won't he be criticized?"
"That's right!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Brother Zheng Yilong?"
"Brother Zheng is a scholar-official. According to the laws of Daxia, indiscriminate killing is not allowed for infinitely heinous crimes."
"..."
Ten people in a row came forward to intercede.
Although their words were restrained, Qin Yun could not see any trace of fear in them.
After all, you have nothing to fear!
Although they do not hold official positions, after all, most of the officials in the imperial court can be related to them. This is the foundation and the confidence!
At that moment, Qin Yun truly felt the crisis!
The scary thing about aristocratic families is that they can cultivate countless "Wang Wei", just like Wang Wei fell, the Wang family is still there.
Hide away from the wind, and things will still be prosperous after a while.
Qin Yun said coldly: "I sent Mr. Guo Ziyun to negotiate the purchase of grain. Zheng Yilong was so arrogant that he even insulted me."
"I would like to ask, is this crime of killing nine tribes unpunished?"
Hearing this, the spokespersons of the aristocratic families frowned and looked at Zheng Yilong with suspicious expressions.
I thought that this guy really scolded His Majesty and was caught with evidence, right?
Zheng Yilong seemed to have been stepped on the tail, jumped up and loudly said: "No, no!"
"Your Majesty, this villain definitely did not insult Your Majesty!"
"This is slander, this is slander!" He shouted at the top of his lungs while spitting.
The oil pan is right in front of him, how can he remain calm?
Then he looked at Guo Ziyun fiercely and cursed.
"Guo Thief, you old guy, how dare you frame me!"
Hearing this, the expression of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs changed.
Secretly scolding the idiot!
Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, His Majesty’s confidant, do you dare to scold me?
Qin Yun's eyes turned cold, but he was very satisfied in his heart. If Zheng Yilong was not like this, he really had no good reason to operate on him.
"Why does Guo Aiqing want to slander you? I have already investigated it clearly, and you still want to make excuses?"
Zheng Yilong's face flushed with anxiety and he shouted in desperation.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't insult you, this old man is such a slanderer!"
"He came to the villain to negotiate about purchasing food. The villain refused to let him in, so he held a grudge and slandered me!
Qin Yun asked: "Then why didn't you let him in?"
Zheng Yilong blurted out: "Grain cannot be sold!"
"This old man is just a dog. Why should I, Mrs. Zheng of Xingyang, give him a..."
At this point, his voice suddenly stopped.
His face suddenly turned pale.
Looking at the stiff faces around him, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
Tai Chi Hall, dead silence.
The spokespersons of the powerful families were all speechless.
You think you can't sell food, how dare you say this?
The officials who had old acquaintances with the Zheng family looked ugly and didn't know how to interrupt.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"I did not mean that."
"What I mean is that the family does not have enough food and cannot sell it. If we sell all the tenant farmers who follow the Zheng family, we will have to drink from the northwest wind."
Zheng Yilong explained feebly.
Guo Ziyun snorted coldly and scolded.
"Bastard thing!"
"The situation in Xiliang is serious. Why does your Zheng family control the grain and not open the warehouse to release grain?"
Zheng Yilong's face turned red and white for a while. He looked at Guo Ziyun and gritted his teeth!
"Who do you think you are? How dare you slander me?"
"I am the queen of Zheng Gong, a noble of Daxia. What qualifications do you, a pariah, have?"
"Guo Ziyun, you are just a dog, be careful what you say!"
"Since ancient times, cabinet ministers have changed from generation to generation, but my family has a long history. What do you want to fight with me?!"
Zheng Yilong broke the jar and told Guo Ziyun, but in fact he told Qin Yun to listen.
His tone could not hide his arrogance, as if he was born to be superior to others.
This time, the spokespersons of other aristocratic families did not speak anymore, but looked at Qin Yun closely.
This sentence is also what they want to express.
All the sects wanted to see Qin Yun's attitude.
But Qin Yun stood there, silent from beginning to end, with a face as cold as a flat lake, but murderous intent in his heart.
These powerful people treat the Minister of Household Affairs so arrogantly, with such a high profile, threatening and insulting them at every turn. If this goes on for a long time, will this not change the world?
For hundreds of years, these dogs have been too arrogant!
At this moment, Zheng Yilong gritted his teeth.
Looking directly at Qin Yun, he thought that it was just a knife anyway, so he might as well explain it clearly.
He didn't believe that the emperor really dared to fall out with a noble family.
"Your Majesty, please abolish Guo Ziyun's position. He is in office without virtue!"
"As long as you depose him, on behalf of the Zheng family in Xingyang, I promise to Your Majesty that I will tighten my belt and support you in attacking Xiliang even if I don't eat!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole court was shocked!
Is this coercion?
A pair of eyes widened, the loyal ministers were angry, the hesitant ones were frightened, and the noble families were watching and testing!
The spokespersons of the clan looked at each other and quickly came up with ideas.
Don’t stop doing one or the other, make it clear!
Anyway, since Wang Min of Xiliang was here, the emperor needed the support of the noble families.
Could it be that he would fight against more than a dozen powerful families for a veteran minister with no background?
"Your Majesty, I, the Wang family of Longyou, am also impeaching the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I am without virtue and incompetence!"
"Your Majesty, I, the Situ family in Guanzhong, agree with you!"
"Depose Guo Ziyun, and return Daxia's money and food to a prosperous world. On behalf of the family, I am willing to give everything I have to support you in attacking Xiliang!"
"Me too……"
"..."
The wealthy and powerful families knelt down hand in hand, their voices loud and clear, without any fear.
This scene made Gu Chuntang and others angry, clenching their fists, but there was nothing they could do!
Everyone looked at Qin Yun, guessing what he would do?
What's more, the eyes he looked at Guo Ziyun were full of sympathy. Under such a general situation, this veteran minister who worked hard and made great achievements might have to sacrifice himself.
Even Guo Ziyun himself had a bitter look on his face, as if he had predicted the next second.
The silence was suppressed for a while.
He didn't want Qin Yun to be in trouble.
He knelt down heavily, took off his official hat, and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the overall situation is important, don't get angry."
"Old minister, I voluntarily resign..."
After saying that, Guo Ziyun's face was full of depression and loneliness, and his trembling body was like a candle in the wind, extinguished at any time!
See the situation.
Xiao Jian, Gu Chuntang and others were moved and shed tears!!
