Forced To Start The Game, Summon A Hundred Thousand Snow Dragon Riders

"It seems that the ministers in the court have no confidence in me."

Looking at the mountain of documents and materials in front of him, Li Xiu couldn't help shaking his head. Obviously, these ministers felt that he had no chance of winning in this contest between the emperor and the world's feudal towns.

These officials wanted to find a way out for themselves before the Great Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

"Your Majesty, how should these officials be dealt with?"

Cao Zhengchun was asking Li Xiu for instructions, as long as the latter gives an order, he can immediately have Dongchang arrest people, sweep up all these officials who secretly communicated with the town, and ransack their families.

"East Factory doesn't need to intervene in this matter."

Li Xiu waved his hand, "Tomorrow, I will handle it personally."

"I'm afraid I will ask you to cooperate with me and play a play."

"The old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun looked respectful.

...

the next day.

On the court.

Civil and military officials entered the hall one by one.

However, after entering the Golden Temple, they saw a huge brazier in the Great Hall.

A raging fire blazed in this brazier.

This caused the temperature in the Golden Luan Hall to rise a lot.

All the ministers were stunned when they saw the brazier in the Great Hall.

What is Your Majesty doing with a brazier in this hall?

There was a bad feeling in the hearts of the officials.

Based on their understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty is definitely going to make trouble!

This brazier probably has a lot to say!

Baiguan was cautious, and began to frantically think about all the possibilities of the existence of the brazier.

While they were speculating wildly, Cao Zhengchun had dumped a large box of letters on the court hall, piled up like a hill.

"Eunuch Cao, what are these things?"

Li Xiu glanced at the letter on the ground and asked knowingly.

"Report to Your Majesty!"

Cao Zhengchun acted very cooperatively, saying: "These are the letters written by civil and military officials in central Beijing to the Jiedu envoys in various towns, and they were intercepted by our East Factory spies!"

Swish!

As soon as Cao Zhengchun said this, more than 80% of the officials in the Golden Luan Hall turned pale.

Because there is likely to be a contribution from them in these letters!

Cao Zhengchun, the old eunuch, actually intercepted all the letters they wrote to the Jiedu envoys?

"Oh?"

Li Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Why are there so many? Isn't that right?"

"Could it be that all the officials of my Tang court have secretly communicated with the feudal town?"

Cao Zhengchun purposely said loudly: "Your Majesty, with the means of the old slave Dongchang, it is a breeze to check the authenticity of these letters."

"These officials are taking the salary of the imperial court, enjoying His Majesty's favor, and secretly betraying the master and thieves. It is heinous!"

"I implore Your Majesty, allow me, Dongchang, to thoroughly investigate this matter! Arrest all the traitors who secretly communicated with the feudal town, and annihilate the nine clans!!!"

Boom!

Hearing the four words of killing the nine clans, the courtiers finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Several older officials sat down on the ground with their legs weak, their faces turning pale.

In their minds, Cao Zhengchun is synonymous with King of Hell.

How many officials died at the hands of Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang, and their families were exterminated.

Everyone in the court was terrified of Cao Zhengchun!

And now, these people might also fall into the hands of Cao Zhengchun!

That is a dead end!

Doctor Yushi's desperate eyes fell on the huge brazier. Now, he finally knows the use of this brazier!

Your Majesty, do you want to directly use the legendary cooking torture on them?

Thinking of this, there was no trace of blood on Doctor Yushi's face.

But His Majesty's next sentence made them suddenly stunned, and they were saved from desperation!

"There is no need to investigate this matter."

On the dragon chair throne, Li Xiu waved his hands, "I, ministers who believe in me!"

"They are the Zhongliang of the Tang Dynasty, and they are the ministers of the arm and arm. How could they betray me and the country of the Tang Dynasty at this juncture?"

"These letters must have been forged by the vassals, in order to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of my Tang court!"

Every word and every word echoed in the corner of the hall.

All the ministers were dumbfounded.

Did they hear correctly?

Your Majesty, are you speaking well of them and defending them?

Is this the same His Majesty who indulged Dongchang and killed courtiers indiscriminately?

"Cao Zhengchun, I order you to throw all the letters into the brazier on the spot and burn them all!"

Li Xiu waved his hand and said coldly.

"His Majesty!"

Cao Zhengchun was shocked, "These are all evidences that the officials betrayed His Majesty, how can they all be burned?"

"I beg Your Majesty to think twice!"

Unexpectedly, Li Xiu slapped the armrest and was furious, "Cao Zhengchun, do you want to resist the edict?"

"The old slave dare not!"

Cao Zhengchun didn't dare to say anything, and said unwillingly, "Old slave, let's do it now!"

Under the coercion of the emperor, Cao Zhengchun had no choice but to pour a whole box of letters into the brazier.

Destroy them all.

Seeing the letter that was quickly reduced to ashes in the brazier, Baiguan had tears in his eyes, full of gratitude!

His Majesty! ! !

They never dreamed that His Majesty would trust them so much!

However, in order to save their lives, they failed His Majesty's trust.

In the autumn of the imperial court's crisis, he actually wrote a letter to secretly communicate with the governor of the feudal town!

"Your Majesty, the old minister is wrong!"

Tears welled up in Shang Shupu's eyes, and he fell into deep self-blame.

"I'm not human!"

Doctor Yu Shi was even more remorseful, secretly cursing himself for doing such a thing that was inferior to a beast.

There was even an elderly minister who choked up and burst into tears.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Li Xiu immediately said impassionedly: "My dear friends, I don't know what you think, but I only hope that our Tang dynasty can unite as one, unite against the enemy, and fight against the powerful enemy together!"

"The ministers will do their best, swear allegiance to the death, and share the worries for His Majesty!"

All civil and military officials knelt down on the ground, their voices were in unison, and their hearts were united.

"Retire!"

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Li Xiu also waved his hand, signaling to retreat.

Civil and military officials, after chanting long live, exited the Great Hall one by one.

After all the officials had left, Cao Zhengchun looked at Li Xiu who was sitting on the throne, and asked, "Your Majesty, does this old servant look like you?"

Li Xiu nodded and smiled: "That's right, I should award you a statuette."

What is a statuette?

Cao Zhengchun was secretly curious.

But he didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Li Xiu with some puzzlement, "I don't understand, why did Your Majesty let off those ministers who secretly communicated with the town this time?"

In His Majesty's eyes, there has always been no room for a grain of sand.

How could he be so magnanimous this time?

"One moment and another moment."

Li Xiu shook his head, "At that time, I had just experienced a rebellion, and I needed to set off a bloody storm in the court, so as to frighten the officials and establish the emperor's prestige."

"But now, the imperial court is about to start a war with the feudal towns all over the world. Massacres of courtiers at this time are not conducive to internal stability."

"It's better to burn the letter, but it can gather people's hearts, let the officials and I work together to deal with the enemy of the feudal town with all our strength!"

"Your Majesty is holy!"

Only then did Cao Zhengchun's eyes light up, and he suddenly realized.

He only focused on collecting evidence and killing traitors.

However, Your Majesty has already focused on the overall situation of the world and considered the issue.

This is the emperor's mind!
