The time had come!
More than ten executioners walked forward.
Each of them held a door knife in one hand and a pot of old wine in the other.
The executioners took a sip of wine and sprayed it on their broad knives. Then, they looked at the kneeling people below with burning eyes.
"Open the interrogation!"
An order was given.
Puff! Puff!
More than a dozen heads rolled to the ground, and their bodies fell one after another. Dark red blood splattered out as if it was free.
Many officials felt a chill on their necks, afraid that this would cut their necks. Each and every one of them trembled in fear.
The vast majority of them were loyal dogs of the eighth empress. Their status was the same as Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing, and some of them had also done many immoral things.
Now, it was inevitable that the fox would grieve over the death of the rabbit. His face was filled with grief, but in reality, he was worried for himself.
The commoners cheered. Seeing these dog officials being beheaded, these commoners were especially excited.
Li Zhi was a little surprised.
Why were these people so excited about such a bloody scene? Could it be that these were all unruly people?
"Elder Di, do you know why these people are cheering? Why are you so excited?" Li Zhi asked.
"Your Majesty, Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing have made the three judicial departments into a mess, causing corruption to spread in the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. They eat the plaintiff and eat the defendant. As long as they have money, they can even avoid heavy punishment for murder and arson. He had become a ghost who died for nothing. Now that these two people had fallen, the people would be so happy!”Di Renjie bowed and explained to Li Zhi.
Now, he was very gratified. It was useless to advise Li Zhi before. After all, Li Zhi had no power and no soldiers. Moreover, he was weak and incompetent. He could not raise his head in front of the eighth empress.
However, Li Zhi was different now. The atmosphere in the court had taken on a new look, so Di Renjie dared to speak the truth.
Li Zhi nodded silently. He felt a little self-reproach in his heart, but of course, he was more blaming his deceased predecessor.
In the memorial to the court, Zhuge Liang once said: When the late emperor was alive, every time he talked about this matter with me, he hated and sighed with Huan Wen and Ling Tian.
It could be seen that the decline of a dynasty had a great relationship with the emperor. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei unanimously believed that the pot of the decline of the Later Han Dynasty belonged to Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
And the minimum requirement of society was judicial justice.
Once the administration of justice was not fair, the trust and love of the people towards the court would disappear.
During the debate, Cao Gui went to see Duke Zhuang of Lu and asked: "Why should we fight against Qi?"
"I have done many good deeds," said the Duke Zhuang of Lu."I have given everyone my clothes and food.。”
Caogui shook his head." Small favors cannot be used by the masses. The people will not work for you."”
The Duke Zhuang of Lu added,"The things used for sacrifice should not be distributed to the people randomly. They must be honest and trustworthy to win the trust of the people."”
Caogui shook his head." A little honesty isn't credit. Even the gods won't help you!"”
"Big and small lawsuits, although they can't be seen clearly, they must be fair and strict!"”
Caogui then said,"This is what you should do. You can fight with this!"”
It could be seen that the most important thing to win the trust of the people was judicial justice.
The Great Tang had lost this point.
These evil officials had received the punishment they deserved. This was the reason why the people were cheering.
The next important part was to execute the punishment of cutting Lai Junchen. He had to cut him a thousand times and ensure that Lai Junchen did not die.
This was indeed a technical job.
On this day, Lai Junchen's screams echoed throughout the Meridian Gate.
The eight queens all turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at him.
Although they held high positions and were decisive in killing, they were women after all. Facing such a bloody scene, it was inevitable that they would feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, now that the world had turned upside down, there were signs of yin flourishing and yang declining. The physique of women continued to rise, but these emperors and empresses did not feel too uncomfortable.
Wu Zetian's face was pale. She got up and was about to return to the palace. She really couldn't bear to watch him torture his confidant like this.
Wu Zhao was about to leave.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
"Empress Wu, the ceremony hasn't ended yet. Where are you going?”Li Zhi's voice sounded.
Wu Zetian turned her head to look at Li Zhi. Her beautiful eyes were about to spew fire, and her powerful aura surged in all directions.
The ministers around Li Zhi had already lowered their heads in fear. They did not dare to look directly at Wu Zhao. They were even more terrified.
Li Zhi, on the other hand, was calm and collected, as if he could not feel this aura at all.
"Bengong wants to return to the Purple Mansion Hall and you want to stop her?”Wu Zetian's lips parted slightly as she raised her eyebrows and said impatiently.
"Hmph, is this how you talk to me?”Li Zhi also stood up. He snorted and looked at Wu Zhao with a burning gaze.
" You!" Wu Zhao was at a loss for words. He was so angry that his body was trembling. However, in front of the other seven queens and officials, he could not flare up.
After all, she would not lose control of her emotions and affect the overall situation. This woman had strong self-control.
"ChenQie is not feeling well, can I take my leave and return to the palace?”Wu Zetian said to Li Zhi expressionlessly, but her tone was much gentler.
In her heart, she was thinking that she had to speed up the mutiny. She could not let this trash continue to be arrogant.
The corners of Li Zhi's mouth curled up."Very good. In my place, you're a tiger lying down for me, or a dragon coiling up for me!”
He walked closer to Wu Zetian. He was not short to begin with, and after taking the Body Tempering Pill, his figure became even taller and more imposing.
