At this moment, Kun Ning was filled with wails.
With Emperor Zhao Zheng backing her up and Qing Mei pointing out, those who had once caused trouble for the Empress were all found out.
Zhao Zheng's main purpose today was to clean up the Imperial Palace.
For those who had directly harmed the Empress, Zhao Zheng showed no mercy and directly ordered them to be beaten to death outside the hall!
For a moment, blood flowed all over the ground outside Earth Peace Palace.
The entire palace was in a state of panic!
Those concubines who received the news were scared witless, afraid that some servant would randomly bite them and give them up.
They already knew that Noble Consort Tian had been poisoned to death last night.
The Emperor did not even show mercy to the most beloved Noble Consort Tian. One could imagine that if they had something to use against the Emperor, would he show mercy?
……
Outside the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, the sound of slaps and screams could be heard.
Zhao Zheng was using this method to tell everyone to respect his Empress in the future!
After the execution eunuch beat more than twenty people to death, even Qing Mei was so scared that she stuttered and did not dare to point out any more.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, excessive killing is against the heavens. This concubine knows Your Majesty's intentions. Since the evil leader has been killed, please be magnanimous…"
The kind-hearted Xiao Yuzhen couldn't help but try to persuade him again.
Zhao Zheng also felt that it was about time. He nodded and said to Feng Zhong,"Big partner."
"This old servant is here!"
"Bring the rest of the people to the VIP room and pry open their mouths. A mere servant doesn't have such courage. I want to know who is backing them up!”
"Yes!"
Zhao Zheng continued," All the wardens of the eight internal prisons have offended their superiors and harbored ill intentions. All of them will be beaten to death…Big partner, I will leave the new wardens of the eight internal prisons to you. You have to choose a group of loyal people. Once you have chosen them, tell me."”
This was giving Feng Zhong the power to do so.
If it was an ambitious eunuch, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep after hearing such an appointment.
Feng Zhong was also very happy, not because of the increase in power in his hands, but because of the Emperor's trust in him.
As the Emperor's personal eunuch, Feng Zhong's status was already high enough. In addition, Feng Zhong only wanted to protect Zhao Zhen's safety and did not have much ambition to fight for power.
"This old servant obeys."
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhen nodded and finally stopped.
Actually, Zhao Zhen also knew that there was a huge hidden danger in cutting the Gordian knot so quickly.
However, Zhao Zhen did not have many people he could use at the moment, so he could only do this for the time being.
With the existence of the Emperor's Eye, he believed that it would not be long before everyone in the Imperial Palace would become his loyal lackeys!!
It was already noon.
Seeing that the Emperor had finally stopped, Xiao Yuzhen heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the Emperor had killed so many people and punished all the wardens of the Inner Eight Jail "for her". She was very touched, but at the same time, she felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, it's already noon. It's time for lunch. You haven't eaten your breakfast. If you starve your body, I won't forgive you…"
Zhao Zheng was indeed a little hungry, so he nodded.
Immediately.
The imperial kitchen started to move, preparing exquisite delicacies for the emperor and empress.
Zhao Zheng was also served a sumptuous lunch by the Empress.
After lunch, Feng Zhong came to report.
"Emperor, Cao Jin requests an audience."
Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed when he heard the name Cao Jin.
"Let him in."
Seeing that Zhao Zheng had business to discuss, the Empress tactfully retreated.
……
A moment later, an old eunuch around fifty years old was brought in.
"This old servant pays his respects to the Emperor."
The old eunuch arrived in front of Zhao Zheng and immediately knelt down. With a humble smile, he bowed to Zhao Zheng.
Seeing this old eunuch, Zhao Zheng's mood was not very good!
Through the Emperor's Eye, Zhao Zheng discovered that this old fellow's loyalty to him was only 37%...
Motherf * cker!
How did the fatuous ruler of the past survive?
So many people were seriously disloyal to him?
What an idiot!
If it was any other slave, it would be fine if they were disloyal.
However, the old eunuch in front of him was called Cao Jin. He was currently the Seal Eunuch of the Chief of Rites, the "internal minister" of the palace, and also the supervisor of the East Chamber. He had great power.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Cao Jin was the number one eunuch.
If such a person was not loyal, it would be a little dangerous for him, Zhao Zheng!
Zhao Zheng remembered that according to the original plot, Cao Jin was not a good person either. He usually flirted with the treacherous official, Li Yan, and almost wore pants. He and Li Yan controlled the court and made a lot of money. He was not loyal to the incompetent emperor and even betrayed him in the end.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng's expression remained calm, but in his heart, he had already sentenced Cao Jin to death.
Of course, although Cao Jin was also a dog by his side, he was an old dog with great power and martial arts!
If Zhao Zheng wanted to kill him, he couldn't just kill him like how he treated ordinary servants.
He had to be careful to prevent this old dog from retaliating before it died and injuring himself.
"Rise!" Zhao Zheng said lightly.
"Thank you, Emperor…Emperor, this old servant has done what you asked me to do. The twenty-six people of the Tian Family have all been imprisoned.”
"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded and ordered,"All the Tian Family members will be executed. Then, we will confiscate the Tian Family's property and fill the palace treasury."”
The Tian family was a big fat sheep!
The original protagonist of this world was able to grow up quickly almost entirely because of the Tian family's financial support.
Zhao Zheng had killed Noble Consort Tian at the start of the game mainly because he had taken a fancy to the Tian Family's assets…
It had to be said that Zhao Zheng really had the talent of an emperor, and he learned very quickly.
In such a short period of time, he was black-hearted, resourceful, and ruthless…He had everything!
"This old servant obeys the decree!"
At this point, Cao Jin suddenly said," Your Majesty, there's good news. This old servant has gathered a few beauties from the Western Regions with great difficulty. They can be said to be extremely beautiful. I've already brought them to the leopard's room for Your Majesty to taste."”
"I know!"
Zhao Zheng only replied indifferently and then asked,"Cao Banban, do you have any urgent government affairs today?”
Cao Jin was clearly stunned when he heard Zhao Zheng's words.
In Cao Jin's memory, every time the fatuous ruler heard that he had found a beautiful woman from a foreign land, he would definitely be overjoyed and could not wait to take a look and enjoy it.
What was going on today?
A fatuous ruler actually cares about government affairs?
Did the sun rise from the west?
Cao Jin stole a glance at Zhao Zheng's expression and realized that he did not look too good. He secretly guessed that the fatuous ruler might not be in a good mood.
As the supervisor of the East Chamber, Cao Jin knew what had happened in the palace. He knew that the fatuous ruler had killed many people today.
"Emperor, ever since you ascended the throne, the country has been peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment.”
Cao Jin lied through his teeth.
In fact, at this time, the people were already in chaos.
"That's right!" Cao Jin seemed to have thought of something and added happily,"Emperor, today is the day that old man Yu Qian is to be beheaded. Counting the time, he's probably already on the execution ground.”
He thought that the Emperor would be very happy to hear this news.
Who knew that Zhao Zheng's expression would suddenly change when he heard this!
Yu Qian?
This guy couldn't die!
