Extreme Chaos

Chapter 861 Appreciation!

"Yes!!"

Countless imperial guards responded immediately, and appeared in front of Tang Yuan, Tang Hao and Tang Yu with a bang, and dragged the three of them out of the hall instantly!

Without even responding, I heard three screams resounding through the hall and the sound of a fountain of blood gushing from outside.From the beginning to the end, neither Tang Hao nor Tang Yu uttered a last word.It's not that they didn't want to say it, but that things changed so fast that they didn't react at all.Before beheading, neither of them came back to their senses.

Feeling the screams echoing in the hall for a long time, all the courtiers standing on the side of the Tang family lowered their heads even lower. If it weren't for the loose clothes of the court clothes, they might have noticed some timid The minister's body was shaking violently.

At the same time, the imperial guards who dragged out the three of Tang Yuan reappeared on the main hall, one of them knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "Return to the emperor, Tang Yuan, Tang Hao, and Tang Yu have been executed!"

Xuan Yin heard the words and said in a deep voice, "Let's step back for now."

The imperial guards nodded and returned to their respective positions. As for the other courtiers, they were so frightened by Xuanyin's words that they almost fainted. Why?Because what Xuan Yin said was to step back temporarily, with his toes, he knew that they would still be useful, so what would it be used for?The answer is self-evident!

Sure enough, after seeing the imperial guard retreating, Xuanyin's eyes fell directly on the courtier standing behind the Tang family just now, and said with a sneer, "I can't think of it! I really can't think of it! Old Yan, how have I treated you?" A little mean?"

The first-rank civil official on the right side of the Tang family below knelt down and stepped forward, "The emperor treats the old minister like a close relative. The old minister is ashamed and willing to repay it with death. I only hope that the emperor can bypass my family and servants. is innocent!"

Xuan Yin's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he shouted, "So you really have the intention of betraying me?!"

The civil official known as Yan Lao immediately burst into tears, bowed vigorously to Xuanyin and said in a trembling voice, "This is the end, the old minister no longer wants to defend his actions, even if his heart is not betrayed, but his behavior has already betrayed him." , this is sin!"

Xuanyin took a deep breath of pain, and said in a deep voice, "You have driven me to a corner! I judged..."

"Your Majesty, wait!"

The moment Xuanyin opened his mouth, Kong Yeming, who had recovered his original appearance, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and said to Xuanyin, "Can the emperor listen to Yeming's words about the old man Yan?"

Xuan Yin paused slightly, and said in doubt, "Say."

Old Yan also turned his head to look at Kong Yeming in doubt. He didn't understand why the Kong family, who had never had any contact with the Yan family since the marriage between the Yan family and the Tang family, interrupted the emperor at this time.

Kong Yeming also cast a glance at Old Yan, bowed his head again and said, "Elder Yan was actually persecuted."

After hearing this, Xuan Yin's depressed mood suddenly relaxed. Yan Lao is an important veteran who has supported him since his father's generation. It is no exaggeration to say that without Yan Lao, there would be no Xuan Yin!How could he be willing to kill him, how willing to sentence him!In fact, his question just now was to give Yan Lao a step up. He only needs to find an excuse for Yan Lao to avoid the catastrophe in the hall, and he can say anything in private!Even if Yan Lao really intends to betray, he will give him another chance, but he doesn't think that Yan Lao has no intention of making excuses at all, but admits indirectly, which makes it very difficult for him.It just so happened that Kong Yeming appeared at this time, and judging from the tone of his words, he should be pleading for him. In this way, he finally didn't have to make a decision against his will.

However, as an emperor, Xuanyin naturally had a perfect disguise, and asked in surprise, "Persecuted?"

Kong Yeming nodded and said, "Actually, your majesty, you don't know. When the Tang family was serving as the right prime minister, the Yan family was persecuted everywhere. Tang Hao forced Yan Ruoshui to make an engagement with him, and Tang Yuan continued to force the Yan family to do it with this marriage. Things that go against their will, the biggest one of which is treason! Because Tang Yuan knows very well that Yan Lao’s family members are not prosperous, and there is only one woman in this generation, Yan Ruoshui, so he loves him very much! In order not to let His granddaughter is suffering, so Yan Lao has no choice but to back down step by step, and the Tang family is even more pressing, to be honest, it has not been easy for Yan Lao these years."

Xuanyin was stunned, looked at Yan Lao in astonishment, and blamed, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? I also feel strange, why have you been so preoccupied since Ruoshui and Tang Hao got engaged! So there is such an inside story !"

Yan Lao choked up and said, "I don't dare to say it. In order to intimidate the old minister, that old man Tang Yuan kept Tang Hao and Ruoshui tied together. As long as the old minister is not as good as he wants, Ruoshui will be in danger! Besides, the emperor is busy with state affairs all day long." , how dare the old minister interfere with his personal affairs!"

Xuanyin pointed at Old Yan with a wry smile, and shook his head, "You are so foolish! How can this be as simple as a private matter? Originally, I wanted to absolve you of your innocence, but now it seems that you are indeed guilty! And the crime is not small! You are guilty of being stupid, after retiring from the court today, you will honestly sit at home and think about your mistakes, and I will not call you, and you will not be allowed to go out!"

Yan Lao was taken aback for a moment, and said blankly, "This..."

Xuanyin said, "What? You want to add another charge of resisting orders?"

Yan Lao was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The old minister dare not, the old minister obeys the order!"

Ye Hui saw that Xuanyin's judgment was clear, his face flushed immediately, and he said to himself, "This is like an emperor, this is the emperor of my Xuanling Empire who will keep the prosperity forever!"

In the following time, all the courtiers related to Tang Yuan and his like received different punishments, although the crime was not fatal.But the lightest of them is demoted to the common people, and the heaviest will be imprisoned forever, and they will lose their reputation.In short, this time things have changed, and the Xuanling Empire has undergone a huge court cleansing.Of course, these are things for later.

"Kong Yeming!"

After punishing all the treacherous ministers, Xuan Yin put his admiring eyes on Kong Yeming, who was wearing the armor of the imperial guard, and said, "Where there is punishment, there will be reward. Your contribution this time is too great. Use material rewards to measure your dedication! Tell me, what request do you have, except that the throne cannot be given to you, as long as I can do it!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers below were stunned, but after thinking about it, they were a little relieved.After all, if it wasn't for Kong Yeming and the few strangers he brought with him this time, the dynasty might be in chaos now, and the courtiers who were dragged out, beheaded, exiled and imprisoned might be those who stood in Xuanyou's opposing camp .

To put it mildly, Kong Yeming saved their lives, the emperor, and the loyal government of the entire empire.And on a bigger scale... that is to save the entire Xuanling Empire!
