Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 457 The Minister's Charge

"Your Majesty has arrived—" the loud voice of the servant standing at the door sounded, and the noisy Shenglong Hall suddenly became quiet, and the important officials stood in awe, standing in the hall.

Wearing a dragon robe, the emperor Long Han strode forward surrounded by a large number of court ladies, majestic and majestic.

With a smile on Long Han's face, he was obviously in a good mood.

The emperor Long Han sat down, and all the officials in the palace bowed down in unison, shouting three times long live, which was regarded as a salute.

"There is something to play, nothing to leave the court." The servant stepped forward and shouted loudly to the officials in the palace according to the usual practice.

Before the servant's words fell, Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, could not wait to stand up: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce—"

The chief assistant of the cabinet Zhou Rulin's face was gloomy at the moment, looking at Lin Chuan standing not far away, his eyes were full of resentment.

After fighting all night last night, his mansion was surrounded by soldiers from Lin Chuan's Supervision Office, which was called protection. At that time, he thought that Lin Chuan was trying to curry favor with him and wanted to resolve the grievances between the two families.

But just now he learned that what bullshit protection is not the case at all. In just one night, those important officials, officials and nobles who were close to the Zhou family were wiped out by Lin Chuan's supervisory office in the name of rebellion. net.

It can be said that Zhou Rulin's family, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has operated a network of relationships for more than ten years, and the officials they wooed were washed away overnight. Zhou Rulin's hatred for Lin Chuan is like the surging river, endless.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lin Chuan for indiscriminate killing of court officials!" Zhou Rulin pointed the finger at Lin Chuan as soon as he came up.

Although the emperor Long Han already knew the cause and effect of the incident, and it was he who arranged for Lin Chuan to take advantage of the situation to purge those disobedient officials, but he would naturally not show it at this moment, after all, these things are not visible.

"Zhou Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" Emperor Long Han pretended not to understand, and asked suspiciously.

When Zhou Rulin heard Long Han's words, doubts flashed in his heart: Wasn't it arranged by Long Han?
Since it wasn't arranged by Emperor Long Han, it was Lin Chuan's unauthorized action. Zhou Rulin bowed to the ground again: "Your Majesty, you have to decide for the dead officials. They died miserable..."

Hearing Zhou Rulin accuse Lin Chuan and the Supervisory Office with snot and tears, the surrounding ministers all agreed.

"Your Majesty, the people in the Supervision Office kill everyone they see. The poor Foreign Minister's family of 150 people died tragically, and there is no one alive."

"The whole mansion of Lord Zhang was washed with blood. It's too miserable. Your Majesty must uphold justice for Lord Zhang."

"More than 30 soldiers of the No.100 Three Swordsman Battalion were killed by the soldiers of the Supervision Office who rushed in just for drinking. Your Majesty, I request that Lin Chuan be punished."

"More than a dozen barons in Xicheng District were taken away by the people of the Supervision Office, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. Please save them, Your Majesty."

……

As soon as Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, opened his mouth, the frightened officials began to sue Lin Chuan and the Supervisory Office.

According to them, the entire Office of Supervision has become heinous, and it has reached the point where both humans and gods are indignant.

Lin Chuan touched his nose and couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard the bloody and tearful accusations of these officials and nobles. If it is true that the Supervisory Office is indignant, then these ministers wearing hypocrisy should have gone to hell long ago.

"Your Majesty, I request that Lin Chuan be relieved of all his duties immediately, beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and comfort the spirit of the deceased!" Zhou Rulin shouted loudly.

"Beheading at the Meridian Gate! Beheading at the Meridian Gate!" The officials echoed one after another, and the crowd was excited.

It's no wonder that these officials overwhelmingly wanted to kill Lin Chuan, but Lin Chuan's supervisory office was too terrifying.

Although the Supervision Office has only been established for one day, it has become a nightmare for these officials at this moment. Thinking of the cold and murderous soldiers of the Supervision Office and the bloody fight last night, they feel lingering fear and chills down their backs.

Although they knew that the Supervision Office was not as heinous as they said, they still couldn't change their determination to erase the Supervision Office at this moment.

Because they have done too many bad things on weekdays, such as corruption, bullying men and women, and even their subordinates are showing off their power. Now a supervisory office has popped up to clean up such things. If they disagree, they will be killed.

It's like putting a steel knife on their necks, and they might cut it off at some point, so they all took advantage of last night's incident to express their wishes to punish Lin Chuan and abolish the Supervision Office.

Among the ministers who want to punish Lin Chuan and revoke the Supervisory Office, Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Yanxu, the chief of military affairs, are the loudest, although they know that this is an institution set up by Emperor Long Han.

It is also guessed that Lin Chuan's actions were all arranged by Long Han. It is precisely because of this that they have to put pressure on Long Han, give Long Han a warning, and tell Long Han to be the emperor honestly, and don't try to weaken their nobles. strength.

Long Han had already made up his mind to eradicate the cancer of the nobles of the Far East Dynasty. The establishment of the Supervision Office was just a test, but he didn't expect to cause such a big reaction from the nobles, and he was at a loss for a while.

After all, he has just been enthroned as emperor now, if he is opposed by all the nobles at once, his throne will not be stable, and now Long Han is very embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll make the decision for you." Under pressure, Long Han agreed.

When Lin Nuoyan saw it, he became anxious and stood up hastily: "Your Majesty, let Lin Chuan explain it himself, maybe there is some misunderstanding."

"Okay, Lin Chuan, tell me, the accusations made by the lovers against you are true—" Long Han asked, winking at Lin Chuan, trying to make him refuse to admit it.

But I didn't expect Lin Chuan to admit it openly: "Your Majesty, what the ministers said is correct, my Supervision Office did kill many people last night."

"Your Majesty, you see, he himself admits it." Zhou Rulin was overjoyed immediately, but he didn't expect Lin Chuan to throw himself into the trap.

Long Han was also secretly anxious, why did Lin Chuan admit it.

But soon Lin Chuan changed the subject: "Although our Supervision Office has killed many people, all of them were rebels."

"Nonsense, what happened to the mansions of those dozens of officials who were washed in blood? Could it be that they committed suicide?" Yang Yanxu, chief of military affairs, also stood up and questioned.

Lin Chuan replied: "It was the rebellion." Lin Chuan pushed his responsibility completely away in one sentence
"When our Supervision Office got the news that there was a rebellion, we rushed there, and the murder had already happened." Lin Chuan's face showed grief, and only he knew whether it was true or not.

"It's nonsense, you are clearly shirking responsibility, Your Majesty, I request a strict investigation!" The Minister of Household Affairs couldn't help coming out to ask.

Overnight, the entire capital was bloodied, and more than 2 people were killed, including [-] officials and [-] nobles. Although these people usually did a lot of evil, they were killed now. Zhou Rulin and the others immediately found an excuse and tried to kill Lin Chuan got rid of it.

But since Lin Chuan did it, how could he make them happy? He was already prepared.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, most of the people who rebelled last night were from the dark hall. This is the confession we got." Lin Chuan handed the confession he got from the interrogation to the servant and presented it to Long Han.

"And we have already interrogated the mastermind behind them." Lin Chuan's eyes swept over the ministers, with a kind smile on his face, but the backs of these ministers were chilling.

The establishment of the Linchuan Supervision Office was originally intended to establish prestige through the purge of military discipline, but it did not expect to encounter obstruction from the nobles, and later defeated the noble soldiers who made trouble.

Emperor Long Han asked Lin Chuan to take the opportunity to take down more than a dozen nobles who had been fighting against him. Lin Chuan followed the order and did not want to expand the matter.

But what happened later was beyond Lin Chuan's expectations. Obviously, someone wanted to make a fuss about it, and the people hidden in the dark hall mobilized and began to bloodbath the nobles and officials, trying to blame Lin Chuan and the Supervision Office.

Lin Chuan didn't stop doing anything, and simply came to a pot, which is why there was a bloody incident that killed and injured more than 2 people last night, but now Lin Chuan has taken the initiative. After a night of fighting, he has obtained a lot of evidence , I have a good understanding of the mastermind behind the scenes.

That's why Lin Chuan was able to maintain enough composure when those officials clamored to kill him, because any evidence he had could make the other party unable to turn over.
