The Bad Guys: Their understanding is beyond belief, shocking the Bad Guys

All of them had followed Zhu Wen to conquer the world. Although they did not dare to be compared with Xiao He, Han Xin and Zhang Liang, they also believed that they were not incompetent.

Therefore, all the ministers were very confident that they could stay and continue to serve as officials in the new dynasty.

Ignoring the restless ministers below the stage, Su Qingjue continued:

"Secondly, no matter how much money you have embezzled in Daliang, as long as you hand it over obediently, I will forgive you all the past!"

"Otherwise, your property will be confiscated at best, or your entire clan will be exterminated at worst!!"

What! ! !

Upon hearing that their entire clan might be exterminated, all the ministers were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

The entire palace hall fell into silence in an instant.

This is really revealing the real purpose!

General, your map of Yan State is a bit short!

You just get a sweet treat in front, but then you get stabbed in the back.

If you can be an official in Daliang, you must be greedy.

It sounds outrageous, but the truth is simple.

Everyone is greedy, why are you the only one who is not greedy? Why do you want to be the enemy of everyone?

In this environment, no one present is clean.

If Su Qingjue was more ruthless and raided these people's homes, the money he seized would probably be enough for him to fight another large-scale battle.

The ministers looked at each other, knowing that under the current circumstances, if they didn't bow their heads, they would die.

This general is very different from Zhu Wen.

He doesn't seem to be confused by external things.

All the beauties and treasures they had presented to him in order to please him were returned.

"Your Highness, Wang Zhi is willing to return all the illegally acquired property. Please forgive me, General!"

Some ministers were quite smart and expressed their willingness to support Su Qingjue's policies on the spot.

Su Qingjue nodded and said, "Very good."

Someone took the lead and got the approval of Su Qingjue, and other ministers also stood up to express their support.

"Third, I may not care about the crimes you committed in the past, but if you dare to commit them again in the future, I will punish you twice as severely."

"For this reason, I want you to supervise each other. If you find someone daring to cross the line, report him and he will be rewarded handsomely!"

"Okay, that's all for today."

After saying that, Su Qingjue turned and left.

The officials bowed and said, "Farewell, General."

"..."

Outside the imperial city.

A group of old ministers gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Do you really want to hand over all your property?"

"Haha, what? You dare not hand it over? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? Your family members are all in the city, aren't you afraid of getting them into trouble?"

"Why waste so much time talking to him? If he doesn't want to hand it over, then don't hand it over. Wait a few days and go to the execution ground to watch him lose his head."

"What are you talking about? I didn't say I wouldn't hand it over, but... I'm a little unwilling. This general is really... cold-faced and heartless!"

"How dare you! The general is a holy ruler, how dare you insult him! Tomorrow, I will report this to the general and ask him to punish you for your disrespect!"

"You are really going too far. No matter how nice your words are, they can't cover up your past crimes of corruption! In the second year of Qianhua, the Yellow River burst its banks, and you ate up all the relief funds sent by the court, causing countless deaths and injuries to the victims downstream!"

"You are not much better. As the Minister of Personnel, you dare to sell official positions and titles in order to make a lot of money..."

"Alright! Stop arguing. As all of us are old Liang subjects, we should stick together for warmth instead of killing each other!"

"Humph!"

The minister who wanted to report to Su Qingjue snorted coldly and said, "Although I was a treacherous minister in Daliang, it was also because Zhu Wen was licentious and immoral. If I were to assist the general, I would definitely become a model of a virtuous minister!"

"Pooh!"

The minister who had a verbal conflict with him had a look of contempt on his face. He made a "Pooh" sound with great disdain, and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground as if he was spitting out a piece of stinky dog ​​shit.

Although the other ministers did not say it explicitly, they were also quite dissatisfied with that man in their hearts.

"..."

The internal strife among these people was actually within Su Qingjue's expectations.

His actions today were intentional.

He used a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, using both kindness and severity, and then used benefits to alienate them.

After some time, select a few people to talk to individually and reward them with some money and goods.

After this operation, these people could no longer make any waves and could only work for him honestly.

of course.

He did this not to give these ministers the opportunity to continue serving in their official positions.

The core purpose is still to maintain stability.

Although Daliang is gone, the problem remains.

There is still room for these ministers to be utilized to a certain extent.

If their crimes were to be brought to justice now, the government affairs of all departments would be paralyzed instantly.

This is not conducive to his governance of the country as a whole.

Everything has a process.

Even if he wanted to gradually replace those old Liang ministers with his own people, he needed to do it step by step.

First let the ministers under your command gradually become familiar with various government affairs. When they are able to take charge on their own, it will not be too late to replace the old ministers.

"..."

After meeting with the ministers of the Old Liang Dynasty, Su Qingjue came to the dungeon under the imperial palace.

Jing Xinmo and Shi Yao have been waiting for a long time.

When the two saw Su Qingjue, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, General."

Su Qingjue nodded, then asked Shi Yao:

"How is Zhong Xiaokui's injury?"

Shi Yao smiled and said, "It's okay now, but she doesn't seem to want to stay..."

"Where's Li Cunxiao?"

"Will he submit to me?"

Mirror Heart Demon said: "Reporting to the general, Li Cunxiao knows that we killed his second brother, so he holds a grudge and is unwilling to surrender."

"Take me to them."

......

Chapter 117 Zhong Xiaokui Surrenders

"Cough-cough-"

Zhong Xiaokui had her black hair disheveled and was huddled in the corner of the cell, hugging her legs, looking rather embarrassed.

There was still some blood at the corner of her mouth. Although her injuries had received preliminary treatment, they were still painful.

As long as she breathed, it felt like a raging fire was burning inside her body. The pain seemed to tear her apart. She felt as if her heart was being eaten by thousands of ants, and she wanted to bang her head against the wall to relieve the pain.

If she hadn't been so strong-willed, she would have probably broken down and cried.

The bright moonlight shines through the iron window onto the open space, leaving a silvery white space.

Staring at those tiny bits of light, Zhong Xiaokui felt both physically and mentally pain.

Blank, confused, helpless, and entangled.

She didn't know where her fate would go.

In order to save her life, she had no choice but to give up her dignity and kneel down to beg for mercy.

She even said that she was willing to be Su Qingjue's slave.

But now that I think about it carefully, if I continue to be a slave, it would be better to die.

From the Ghost King Zhu Youwen to the Daliang Emperor Zhu Youzhen, she always served them as a servant by their side.

The Ghost King was okay, at least he could give her basic respect, but if she disobeyed, the only outcome would be death.

As for Zhu Youzhen, if you anger him, you will not only be insulted by him, but also be whipped in public with a whip. (The original content of the second season.)

She is a woman!

Even if she always disguised herself as a man and appeared in public as a man.

But she also wants to live with dignity.

She's really had enough of this kind of life.

I really don't want to continue like this.

It is better to die than to live without dignity.

Therefore, in the face of Shi Yao's kindness these days, she always treated it with a cold eye.

Zhong Xiaokui had already made up his mind. When the general of Qi State came, he would tell the other party that he had changed his mind and that he could be killed or cut into pieces as he pleased.

"Clap!"

A sound of footsteps was heard and Zhong Xiaokui trembled all over.

"coming."

"What should I say later?"

"With a noble character, I am ready to die bravely... But have I really thought it through?"

"You only have one life. When you die, you really have nothing!"

"Dignity, can dignity be more important than staying alive?"

"..."

Zhong Xiaokui felt extremely conflicted, as if there were two villains arguing with each other.

One side wants her to die with dignity, while the other side tells her that living is the most important thing.

The two sides are evenly matched and neither can convince the other.

Zhong Xiaokui's instinctive reaction was to stay alive, but every time she thought of the humiliation she had suffered, she really felt that life would rather die than live.

pain!

Zhong Xiaokui scratched his hair like crazy, as if he wanted to pull out every strand of hair.

There seemed to be a string of crystal drops falling from her white jaw...

Su Qingjue stood outside the cell and looked at Zhong Xiaokui indifferently.

He opened his thin lips and said, "Are you willing to submit to me?"

Although Zhong Xiaokui had already expressed his position on the battlefield at that time, it is still necessary to ask it again today.

Zhong Xiaokui: “…”
