Chapter 708
Wang Jingyao watched in astonishment as Bai Qi raised his saber in his hand, three times, five times and two divisions, making him a god-man, and even the fifty golden elixir masters who were going to sweep the world by relying on him.

how can that be!

Wang Jingyao had an unbelievable expression on his face. Those were fifty golden elixir masters who could sweep the world, not Chinese cabbage. With these fifty golden elixir masters, he almost suppressed all the opposing forces in Chang'an City. Everyone bowed their heads in front of them. , Why did these super masters die now, at the hands of a person they had never seen before.

Not only Wang Jingyao was dumbfounded, but other people present were also dumbfounded, especially some ministers who had just joined Wang Jingyao in the hall just collapsed on the ground, they wished to beat themselves to death, why were they so confused , took refuge in darkness before the dawn?

"This is impossible!" Wang Jingyao shouted: "This must be an illusion, it must be an illusion, hahaha, father, mother, where are you, what a terrible scene, the child is about to go crazy, how can there be such a terrible thing , Mother, the child is afraid, where are you, come and save the child."

Almost instantly, Wang Jingyao lay on the ground with disheveled hair like a madman and cried loudly. With Wang Jingyao's current state, no matter who saw him, he would think he was crazy.

Wang Mang looked at this familiar scene, and said coldly: "Uncle Wang, don't pretend, you have already performed for me at Shiziyuan before, and I admit that Uncle Wang's acting skills are excellent, but I am not interested. No time to watch it a second time."

"Father, Mother, there are so many people, they are all fighting, cannibalism, it's so scary!" Wang Jingyao's face was half smile, half cry, his eyes alternately frightened and grinning at the same time.

Wang Mang looked at this scene and said, "Since Uncle Wang doesn't want to wake up, I will help Uncle Wang."

With a wave of Wang Mang's hand, a flash of sword light flashed past, and the rope that was originally tied to Li Yueru was cut directly. Li Yueru was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the stinky sock from his mouth, rushed to Wang Jingyao, raised his hand and slapped it down. , even took out a dagger and stabbed fiercely at Wang Jingyao's lower body.

Wang Jingyao finally couldn't pretend anymore, reached out his hand to block Li Yueru, and cursed: "Bitch, what are you doing!"

"What to do?" Li Yueru sneered and said, "Of course I cut off your damn thing, so you won't have to harm someone else's innocent woman."

"Bitch!" Wang Jingyao was furious, looked at Wang Mang and said, "Wang Mang, the widow is the Prince of Daqin after all, do you want to watch this bitch humiliate me?"

"Uncle Wang, aren't you fine?" Wang Mang smiled, and immediately someone stepped forward and pulled Li Yueru aside. Wang Mang looked at Wang Jingyao and said, "Uncle Wang is not crazy this time?"

Wang Jingyao looked embarrassed, and said coldly: "Since ancient times, the king has defeated the enemy. I lost. If you want to kill me, kill me. Why humiliate me."

"Don't worry, I won't humiliate you." Wang Mang said lightly.

"You want to let me go?" Wang Jingyao looked happy, thinking that his nephew is indeed a kind master, and he wanted to let him go even after he committed such a big thing.

Wang Mang ignored Wang Jingyao, but looked at Li Sidao: "Li Si, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, tell me how to deal with the crime committed by Wang Jingyao."

"Treason should be punished by death." Li Si said coldly.

"What is capital punishment?" Wang Mang asked.

"A thousand cuts to pieces." Li Si glanced at Wang Jingyao coldly.

Wang Jingyao jumped up at that time and shouted: "Li Si, I am a clan and a prince. This change of the throne is my family matter. How can it be dealt with by the laws of the country? Besides, I should be punished by the laws of the country. The nine clans, the widow is Wang Mang's uncle, do you want to kill the emperor together?"

The expressions of all the ministers present changed at that time, but Li Si's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "The Great Qin Law has separate regulations on the clan's crimes."

"How is it possible? I don't know." Wang Jingyao exclaimed.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to remember the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty 300 years ago." Li Sidao.

"No, I don't accept it!" Wang Jingyao shouted: "I belong to the clan, and I should be dealt with by the clan's government if I break the law. What are you doing to your criminal department?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at Zongling Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu's expression was extremely ugly. When he saw Wang Mang, he hid back. How could he have expected that Wang Jingyao shouted loudly at the clan mansion at this time, directly highlighting Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu killed Wang Jingyao over and over again in his heart, looked at Wang Mang and all the ministers and said: "The fact that Wang Jingyao committed a heinous crime, this kind of person is definitely not a child of the clan, the clan government decided to expel him from the clan, so for this Waiting for the criminals, let's hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment."

The crowd was in an uproar. They never expected that Wang Xiu would do such a thing. He kicked Wang Jingyao out of the clan and kicked out a powerful prince from the clan. This is simply unheard of.

Wang Xiu himself knew what he had done, but he couldn't help it. He wished he could stay as far away from Wang Mang as possible at this time. How could he want to mess with Wang Jingyao, even if he was scolded by the clan elders? They must not take the matter of Wang Jingyao on their own initiative.

Since Zong Ling said that Wang Jingyao's affairs were too bad and he should not be a son of the clan, then Wang Jingyao was completely put under the responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment. Wang Jingyao looked desperate and roared: "Old man Wang Xiu, you must die!"

Let Wang Jingyao scold like this, even if Wang Xiu wants to hide like a turtle, Wang Xiu pointed at Wang Jingyao and scolded: "Wang Jingyao, I am the Zongling, and I am your elder. If you disrespect the Zongling, it is because you are not filial. Unfilial person, what face do you have to be a son of the clan, after I go back, I will erase your name from the genealogy."

Wang Jingyao was furious, and pointed at Wang Mang and cursed: "Son Wang Mang, if you dare to kill this king, you are unfilial, you are a tyrant, and your reputation will be completely stink in the mainland. Try to kill me."

"The daring lunatic insulted His Majesty, slap your mouth!" Li Si said coldly.

At that time, several Lang officials from the Ministry of Punishment rushed up and slapped Wang Jingyao's head and face. The beating made Wang Jingyao look like gold stars. Several Lang officials looked at Wang Jingyao and wanted to curse, so they directly stuffed the stinky socks that had been stuffed into Li Yueru's mouth into Wang Jingyao. mouth, Wang Jingyao fainted on the spot.

"Deserve it!" Li Yueru looked at this scene, smiled and shed tears. She looked at Shangyuan Palace and said loudly: "Queen Mother, I, Li Yueru, am sorry for you, and I am ashamed of your trust, but I, Li Yueru, do not regret it. For the rest of my life, I have to live for myself.”

After finishing speaking, Li Yueru took out a dagger and stabbed her in the chest fiercely, and died. Bao Si watched Li Yueru commit suicide, then waved her hand, and a few maids came out of Shangyuan Palace, and carried Li Yueru away expressionlessly. .

"Your Majesty, what should these people do?" Li Si pointed to a large group of pale-faced officials kneeling in front of Shangyuan Palace.

"Catch them all first, and then according to the rules, they should be killed and released." Wang Mang said, "How to deal with it, you and Shen Buhai and Haifeng can discuss it."

Then Wang Mang looked at the ministers again and said, "After half an hour, the main hall will discuss matters."

"According to the order."

The officials returned to the main hall again, but this time the number of people entering the main hall was less than half. These missing people were all those who had taken refuge in Wang Jingyao before. Looking at the colleagues standing around, they were different from before. All the ministers looked a little complicated.

"Who was that general just now? He killed fifty Golden Core masters with his own strength. He is so strong. I have never heard of such a person before."

"I don't know, Your Majesty is surrounded by some capable people and strangers, who are able to kill enemies on the battlefield almost omnipotent, but in a short period of time, our Great Qin's national power has flourished, rejecting South Korea in the east, conquering the Guo State in the south, and rejecting the grasslands in the west. This is all due to His Majesty's brilliance and martial arts, and I don't know why Wang Jingyao was so stupid that he dared to embarrass His Majesty, he is looking for death."

"No, let's just say that the hall we are staying in now fell out of thin air. It was a miracle. For thousands of years, miracles have been heard a lot, but whoever is present has seen it with their own eyes. We are staying here now. This hall is the miracle we have seen with our own eyes, if we can get the miracle bestowed by Haotian God, His Majesty is recognized by God, and that is the real Son of Heaven."

"What's the use of saying this? Just now, the traitor Wang Jingyao conspired against us. Although we didn't join in the rebellion, we didn't explicitly object. I don't know what His Majesty thinks of us?"

Some ministers who were familiar with each other in the hall whispered to each other, and the voices gradually began to fight. Li Lan saw the increasingly noisy voices in the hall, and shouted: "Quiet!"

This time, no one dared to disrespect Li Lan. Who didn't know that Li Lan and Deng Fang were the two most trusted eunuchs of His Majesty, and they clearly opposed Wang Jingyao's conspiracy just now, and they were the real high-level officials.

The hall fell silent for a while, Deng Fang moved his ears, and said loudly: "The emperor is here, the ministers salute, and the court meeting begins!"

Long live my emperor, long live, long live!
The officials in the hall pushed the golden mountain and inverted the jade pillar and knelt on the ground at the same time, shouting long live.

Under the protection of Bai Qi and Cheng Bushi, Wang Mang entered the main hall, sat on the dragon chair, and said indifferently: "Everyone loves you, stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The officials kowtowed to Wang Mang again before standing up.

Wang Mang looked at the group of officials in the palace who didn't dare to show their spirits, and said lightly: "Some things happened in this palace just now, and I already know about it. It is said that you people have no merit or fault, but I still want to ask you what happened to you. Whose servant is it?"

Wang Mang's words fell on the ears of the ministers, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and most of the ministers present turned pale in an instant. What they did before was indeed right, but they were not loyal.

"What is the saying that you usually say about eating the king's salary and sharing the king's worries." Wang Mang sneered and said: "It's very nice to say, and it's easy to remember. You can see that I can remember it all, but this food I have seen the honor of the king, so who can explain the worries of the king?"

"The minister deserves to die for his crimes!" All the ministers in the hall knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Great Qin Zu Xun, build a country with scholars, you are all the leaders of the Great Qin clan, you can say that everyone is full of knowledge and moral articles, and those who can be here are our moral models of the Great Qin, they are gentlemen with high morals." Wang Mang continued. : "Speaking of you on weekdays, the common people are full of praise, they are full of praise, but I am still very disappointed, disappointed that you have not preserved the dignity of the gentry in front of that thief Wang Jingyao, what face do you have? Call it a respectable one.”

"The minister deserves death!" Qun Cen said loudly.

"Don't talk to me about crimes that deserve death. You all have made up your mind and I dare not do anything to you. After all, you are the old gentry of Daqin and the foundation of Daqin's country. If you move you, it will be wrong." This is the reason why you are indifferent to the rebels like Wang Jingyao, you have made a good idea, and you have made up your mind that both I and Wang Jingyao have to rely on you to do things." Wang Mang laughed Said: "It's just that you seem to have forgotten one thing, who is the master and who is the master of this Daqin!"

"Your servants will die." Most of the officials in the group blushed, and Wang Mang didn't swear at all, but the words fell into their ears and made them feel more uncomfortable than scolding them.

"Feel uncomfortable? Feel wronged?" Wang Mang said with a chuckle: "Uncomfortable, wronged, you all have to bear it, who made you my servants?"

"In such a huge court, with hundreds of officials gathered, Haifeng is the only one who dares to speak up for justice. You people, hehe." Wang Mang shook his head and sneered, then looked at Zhang Jian and said, "Zhang Jian, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Tell me, you What are you going to do next?"

"The subject is Your Majesty's subject. Whatever Your Majesty asks me to do, I will do." Zhang Jian kowtowed.

"Equal and stable." Wang Mang sneered, and said, "Since you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I will give you a task. This year, all officials, big or small, will participate in the evaluation, of which 30.00% are excellent and 30.00% are unqualified. , the rest are qualified, the outstanding ones will be rewarded by circular, and one percent of them are particularly outstanding as excellence, and the excellence will be commended nationwide, the official will be promoted to one level, and those who are unqualified will be criticized in a circular, among which the ranking is in the bottom percent Ten national notification, dismissed from office on the spot, this matter is entrusted to you, you have the confidence to do well."

Zhang Jian kowtowed expressionlessly and said, "Your Majesty obeys the order, and you must do well even if you go through fire and water."

"Okay." Wang Mang looked into the hall again, and the complexions of many officials in the hall changed drastically. Wang Mang said coldly: "Everyone, I can forget about what happened today, but if something like this happens again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, such a thing will never happen in this world." Zhang Jian was the first to speak, "All those who are in the palace today are His Majesty's subjects."

After Zhang Jian opened his mouth, many ministers in the palace realized that they had just walked around the gate of hell by accident. If they followed Wang Mang's words and said what happened in the future, wouldn't that mean that they still had the idea of ​​rebellion? , So all the ministers swore to the sky that there would never be any rebellion.

Wang Mang glanced at Zhang Jian meaningfully, and then said: "Then, let the court meeting officially begin!"

"According to the order."
