The first thousand three hundred and fortieth chapters start the draft
When the ministers heard this, they knew that Chu Han was unhappy, and they all immediately leaned over and said, "I know you are guilty, please calm down your anger."
Chu Han ignored them and continued to take a bite of duck meat, his dark eyes narrowed.
Not bad, the skin is crispy, the meat is tender and smooth, and the taste is fragrant but not greasy.
Seeing this, some ministers thought that Chu Han was just trying to scare them, so they spoke boldly, "To inform the emperor, the envoy from Nanling Kingdom is outside the imperial study. You might as well go and see him."
Someone else followed and advised, "Yes, Your Majesty! The Nanling Kingdom is still eyeing the border and may send troops at any time! If they use the excuse that you haven't seen the envoy to send troops because you don't respect the Nanling Kingdom, the gain will outweigh the losses!"
"
"What they said is correct, I second my opinion."
"I also second the proposal."
"minister……"
"Do I want to respect the Nanling Kingdom?" Chu Han suddenly said, the coldness in his black eyes made people dare not look at him.
The ministers were silent for a moment, and then they suddenly realized that the wording was inappropriate! They planned to hide in silence.
They were all important officials in the court, and Chu Han did not dare to do anything to them.
However, Chu Han did not intend to let them go, and continued to question in a deep voice, "Nanling Kingdom had the intention to overthrow the royal family of Wanqi Kingdom, and later sent troops to test and attack."
"Nowadays, Nanling Kingdom is the mortal enemy of Wanqi Kingdom, but you want me to respect Nanling Kingdom. What are your intentions?"
"Come here, take them down, take off their official uniforms, and interrogate them severely! I suspect that spies from the Nanling Kingdom have infiltrated into the court, and we must find them out!"
Chu Han gave the order, and the imperial guards immediately came forward.
At this time, the ministers began to panic.
"Your Majesty's warning! I am doing this for the Wanqi Kingdom and for the Emperor. There is absolutely no chance that they are spies!"
"I am loyal and have no second thoughts! Your Majesty is aware of this!"
"I, I, I am loyal!"
"Me too!"
Even at this time, the ministers did not think that Chu Han would really do anything to them, because they were all important ministers of the country.
Without them, many things would be paralyzed instantly. Chu Han had just ascended the throne and would never touch them.
However, when they were taken down by the Royal Guards and taken to prison, and their official uniforms were really taken off, and they were even directly tortured, they were all confused!
How dare Chu Han!
If they had known this, how could they dare to advise me? It would be better to just stay at home!
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake. Please forgive me this time!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve Your Majesty and won't say too much!"
The screams of the ministers were heartbreaking and hoarse, and their intestines turned green with regret.
But the only response they received was cold water and whips.
Fengyi Palace.
Xie Yao knew that Chu Han was not just pretending. Although she was a little surprised, she also knew that Chu Han would not deal with those people for no reason, so he must have been prepared.
Xie Yao didn't speak, but Xie Wenwu walked over with a ray of excitement on his face, holding the roasted pork belly in his hand, "Your Majesty is wise!"
He had long disliked those ministers, but he had no good way to deal with them!
Now Chu Han has solved them all at once, and he did a great job!
Chu Han took the pork belly and continued to cut off a few slices with a dagger, and handed the rest back to Xie Wenwu, "You will go out in a while and tell the people who have been studying with the ministers to prepare.
An imperial edict will be issued tomorrow to let them sit in the positions of those ministers."
"I accept the decree." Xie Wenwu said immediately.
When Chu Han first ascended the throne, he arranged for some people to assist the ministers in the court.
I don't know where Chu Han found these people. Even though the ministers were very guarded, they still learned a lot.
Now it seems that Chu Han has already thought of today's move.
Xie Yao also understood, smiled slightly, no longer worried, and asked: "Eat another piece?"
It turned out that the reason why Chu Han was so slow to move was because he was waiting for those ministers to come.
Now that the minister's affairs have been dealt with, Chu Han is going to see the envoy from Nanling Kingdom.
Chu Han will not let people with unknown purposes appear in the capital of Wanqi Kingdom.
"I won't eat anymore." Chu Han ate the last piece of meat, then wiped his mouth, "I'll go over there and drive those people away. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he asked Xie Yao gently on his forehead, then turned around and left.
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Xie Yao got the news that Chu Han had really driven away the envoy from Nanling Kingdom, and only met him once when he passed by without even giving him a chance to speak.
In response, Xie Yao just smiled, knowing that Chu Han had his own way of finding out the purpose of the Nanling people.
The envoy from Nanling Kingdom was very quiet. After being driven away, he stayed quietly in the inn. He didn't ask to see Chu Han again or said he wanted to leave, so he just stayed there.
A few days later, two pieces of news appeared, related to Chu Jing and Chu Mu.
According to the news, after Chu Jing learned the news of Chu Han's ascension to the throne, he stayed in seclusion for a day and a night, and then dismissed almost all his servants, leaving less than five people with him. At the same time, he also transferred all the people in the fiefdom.
The entire industry was turned over to the state treasury, leaving only a small piece of land for self-sufficiency.
In addition, he also handed over nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver, saying that once a war broke out, the treasury would be empty and the money could be used to prepare for emergencies.
Xie Yao understood Chu Jing's purpose of doing this. It was nothing more than telling Chu Han that he had no rebellious heart or ability. He just wanted to live in peace and stability. He didn't even need glory and wealth, just porridge and side dishes.
.
Chu Jing was scared to death.
The second news is from Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was imprisoned in the villa and tried to escape nearly a thousand times. Every time he was caught and thrown back to the villa, he gradually went crazy.
After learning the news that Chu Han had ascended the throne, he suddenly felt better, but he did not run away again.
A few days ago, he was found dead in his room and hanged himself to death.
Before he died, he left a letter saying that he was willing to die in exchange for being buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Later, Chu Han also issued two decrees, giving Chu Jing a fiefdom to live in his old age. Chu Mu was buried in the imperial mausoleum, using Chu Ye's position and replacing it with a tombstone.
Before issuing the edict, the Crown Princess met Chu Han and chatted for a long time. It is said that the Crown Princess's eyes were red for a long time.
Xie Yao didn't care about either news.
When those two people were alive, they were no match for her, let alone one who died and the other who was afraid of death.
What bothers her now is that her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the effect of the abdominal support belt is not so obvious.
In the past, I could go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, but now it is difficult to leave Fengyi Palace.
There are still about two months until the due date, how should you spend the rest of the time?
At this time, another news spread in the palace. The Empress Dowager summoned the envoy from Nanling Kingdom, and then started to discuss the draft for Chu Han.
