Chapter 62 Liquidation of Chen Dang
On the second day of September in the 27th year of Xianlong, a major event that shook the government and the public occurred in the Great Zhou Empire.

Emperor Xianlong suddenly decreed that the unscrupulous people should arrest the left minister Chen Liangfu, the censor Zhongcheng Wang Shizhi, the right servant Wei Chongwen of the Ministry of Rites and others and put them in prison.

For a while, everyone in the Chen party was in danger.

Chen Dang is one of the most powerful cronies in the Xianlong Dynasty, occupying many important positions in the court and having a strong voice.

But because of this, it was hated by many people.

The Chen party suffered, and the court officials, regardless of rank or camp, began to add insult to injury, accusing Chen party officials of various crimes.

There is revenge for revenge, and there is revenge for revenge.

The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and those who sat on the wall hurriedly drew a line with Chen Dang.Those who have already been branded deeply by the Chen Party did not have such good luck, and were liquidated one by one.

Few of those who were able to hang out in court were clean, it was all about whether they had backers to protect them.

Now that the backer has fallen, these people are also unlucky one by one.

Those who are dismissed from office are dismissed from office, and those who are sent to prison are sent to prison.

Emperor Xianlong did not intervene in this matter, because he knew that the remaining factions would quickly divide up the vacancy left by the Chen Party. This was a process of redistribution of power.

The reason why the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple were not allowed to interrogate Chen Liangfu was because Chen Liangfu was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, colluding with the barbarians in Mobei and even the Demon Cult, and selling salt, iron, bows and crossbows to the enemy.

It is a matter of the face of the court, and it is not appropriate to have a public trial.

The villain has mastered Chen Liangfu's first-hand evidence of his crime, and controlled the trial within the minimum scope, which is the meaning of Emperor Xianlong.

Bad handsome Feng Hao also knows the Sacred Heart very well, and it only took three days to present the confessions of Chen Liangfu, Wang Shizhi and others to the heaven hearing.

Emperor Xianlong was furious, and ordered to behead Chen Liangfu, Prime Minister of the Left, Wang Shizhi, the Prime Minister of Yushi, and more than [-] cronies and family members.

All of a sudden, the execution ground outside the West City was filled with heads, and the smell of blood filled the air and could not dissipate for a long time.

It is impossible to kill more than 3000 people in one day. The court decided to kill 1000 people every day in order to serve as a deterrent, and it took three days to kill all criminals.

The heads of Chen Liangfu and others were ordered to be hung on the city wall of Zhuquemen for public display, and the bodies were hastily buried in a mass grave.

The residences of Chen's mansion and other criminal officials were raided one after another, and millions of taels of silver and more than [-] taels of gold were found.

The dirty silver was of course filled into the treasury.

This sudden reshuffling of power has made the bad guys famous, and besides the bad handsome Feng Hao being remembered, a small green robe has also entered the sight of the lords.

This person is none other than Zhao Xun.

It is said that Zhao Xun was the first to find the clues and evidence of Chen Liangfu colluding with the enemy and treason.

The name Zhao Xun was a bit unfamiliar to these court officials, but after contacting his father Zhao Yuan, these court officials realized it.

It turned out to be the son of Duke Cheng.

Cheng Guogong's family is all loyal and good, and the tiger father has no dogs, so it is not surprising that Zhao Xun can be so outstanding.

Emperor Xianlong rewarded Feng Hao, Zhao Xun and others with a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and three hundred pieces of silk, and specially granted Zhao Xun the honor of walking with a sword in front of the imperial court.

This is more of an honorary title.

Because Zhao Xun is a bad person in his job, he doesn't have much time to enter and leave the palace.

But the advantage of having this title position is that it will be much easier for Zhao Xun to enter the palace in the future.

So far, Zhao Xun can be regarded as a long sigh of relief.

On the one hand, it was a kind of relief that he managed to find out the truth of this complicated and confusing serial case.

On the other hand, he understands that he has really gained a firm foothold in the bad people's office at this moment.

Of course, through this incident, Zhao Xun also realized the danger of the court.

Although Chen Liangfu was sinister and shameless, with deep scheming, he used various means to create false appearances, and Zhao Xun was almost fooled.

But are the people outside the Chen party pure and innocent?Are those princes and princes who yelled at Chen Dang to fight and kill them wholeheartedly for the public?
Zhao Xun knew that of course not.

Crows in the world are generally black, no matter which faction is in power, it will exclude dissidents for its own benefit.

If Chen Dang is like this, what Wang Dang, Li Dang, and Liu Dang are changed is also changing the soup but not the medicine.

Once the Chen party was destroyed, those courtiers who usually sycophanted them took the opportunity to add insult to injury, which is really disgusting.

Zhao Xun despised him very much.

It's just that Emperor Xianlong, the real ruler, wanted to see this situation.

The so-called imperial mind technique is actually nothing more than a balancing technique.

The emperor pays attention to checks and balances.

As long as the major factions in the court fight together, no one will threaten his power, and no one will threaten the throne.

From this point of view, the Chen party, which has dominated in recent years, will be liquidated sooner or later.Even if Zhao Xun hadn't found out the fact that Chen Liangfu was collaborating with the enemy and treason, Emperor Xianlong would have charged Chen Liangfu with another crime.

After figuring this out, Zhao Xun felt a chill down his spine.

In this era, the power of the emperor is greater than the sky, and the emperor is the master who holds the power of life and death.The others are just a group of wage earners, no matter how high they climb, they may fall down at any time and be smashed to pieces.

Even if you are the prime minister, the emperor's life and wealth are all at the mercy of the emperor, which is really scary.

So far, Zhao Xun hoped that he could go further on the road of cultivation.

In the past, he practiced only to become stronger, but he never thought about why he wanted to become stronger.

Now he understands that practitioners may be the only group of people who can protect themselves against the imperial power.

And the practitioner's level must be high enough.

Otherwise, the incomparable powerhouse in the palace———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

How strong do you want to be?
Not to mention becoming a peerless powerhouse like Yuan Tiangang, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, and the head of Haoran Academy, how can he become a second-rank master like his mentor Wu Quanyi, right?
In today's Chang'an City, the fourth rank is everywhere, and the fifth rank is not as good as a dog.

Only masters of the third grade or above will be respected.

But Zhao Xun has a long way to go to achieve this goal.

But now Zhao Xun's resources are top-notch, and with the help of Yuan Tiangang and Wu Quanyi, two Taoist masters, I believe his cultivation will improve rapidly.

Of course, after such a big case is over, Zhao Xun urgently needs time to relax.

During this period of time, his nerves have been tense, almost to death.

Speaking of relaxation, there is no place in the entire Chang'an city that is more suitable than Pingkangfang.

Zhao Xun was proud of the spring breeze, so he was simply a rare host, and called Jia Xingwen and Wangcai to go to Pingkangli Goulan to drink flower wine.

The little fat man was naturally very happy about this.

"Good luck, let's have chicken tonight."

Now Wangcai has learned Zhao Xun's catchphrase, and he just whispered it.

Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, did he bring the little fat man down?
