"Get up."
About three minutes later, Qin Zheng looks at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground and says indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When the officials heard Qin Zheng's words, they all stood up and thanked him respectfully.
"Yesterday, King Mu usurped the throne and plotted a rebellion.”Qin Zheng asked after the officials stood up.
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, the expressions of all the officials froze.
In the end, no one answered.
Even those officials who didn't collude with King Mu didn't dare to answer. After all, they weren't blind and knew that all of King Mu's people were executed. If they answered now, what if they didn't answer well and angered Qin Zheng?
"What, none of you know?”Qin Zheng says coldly.
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, the hearts of all the officials who colluded with King Mu tremble, but they still maintain their silence.
"Since you don't want to say it, then let me say it. I really didn't expect that nearly eighty percent of the officials in such a big court would collude with King Mu. Do you still have me in your eyes? Originally, I gave you a chance to explain the reason.”
"But if you don't cherish it, then I don't need to care about anything. Those who colluded with King Mu, I will kill them all as a warning to others.”Qin Zheng's voice is filled with coldness.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us. We were forced to do so.”
"Your Majesty, that thief King Mu is very powerful. We are only pretending to submit and did not betray Your Majesty.”
"Your Majesty, please understand. We are loyal to Your Majesty.”
After Qin Zheng finished speaking, more than 200 of the 300 officials in the Imperial Court instantly knelt down.
Everyone kowtowed to Qin Zheng and begged.
However, at this moment, everyone's mood was much more relaxed.
They don't think that what Qin Zheng said is true.
If Qin Zheng were to point out some names, perhaps they would be nervous.
However, it was impossible for everyone to kill the entire clan.
If they were all killed, the entire Great Zhen Dynasty would fall into chaos, and the surrounding dynasties would definitely take advantage of it.
At that time, he would definitely be punished by the Divine Sword Sect. Qin Zheng could not bear such a huge responsibility.
When Qin Zheng said that he wanted to kill their entire clan, he was at most just scaring them. It was simply impossible for him to carry it out.
What they need to do now is to give Qin Zheng a way out, to continuously plead guilty and to clear their relationship with King Mu.
…………
"Loyal to Us, you say it so nicely, but that's all. Do you think that Us killing you is just to scare you? Do you think that once I kill you, the Great Zhen Dynasty will fall into chaos? Do you think I won't dare to kill you?”Qin Zheng, who is sitting on the dragon throne, says coldly when he sees the expressions of the officials kneeling on the ground.
Everyone did not reply and just kept kowtowing to apologize.
"A ruler is not joking. I said that I would kill all those who colluded with King Mu. No one will be able to live. When you were in court, I had already sent people to your families.”Qin Zheng looks at the officials kneeling on the ground and says coldly.
"Your Majesty, we have sinned, but our sins are not to this extent. I implore Your Majesty to retract your orders.”
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, the officials kneeling on the ground finally panic. They all raise their heads and look at Qin Zheng pleadingly.
"Zhen said, the ruler is not joking." Qin Zheng says indifferently.
"Your Majesty, killing us is indeed satisfying, but aren't you afraid that after you kill us, the entire empire will be in chaos? Once the Great Zhen Dynasty is in chaos, the surrounding dynasties will definitely not miss this opportunity. They will definitely annex the territory of our Great Zhen Dynasty. If the Divine Sword Sect finds out, I'm afraid that His Majesty will not be able to bear the responsibility of the Divine Sword Sect.”An old man wearing a first grade official robe looks at Qin Zheng and says solemnly.
"If I kill you, the Great Zhen Dynasty will be in chaos? You think too highly of yourselves. Do you really think that no one can replace you?”Qin Zheng coldly laughs.
"Your Majesty, we are naturally not irreplaceable, but it is not something that can be done in a short time. For the time being, we are definitely irreplaceable.”The first rank old official looks at Qin Zheng and says in a deep voice.
"Irirreplaceable? Where is Xun Yu?"
Hearing the old official's words, Qin Zheng shows a disdainful expression and shouts towards the outside of the True Dragon Palace.
"Xun Yu?"
Hearing Qin Zheng say this name, the expressions of all the officials change drastically.
Xun Yu's identity in the Tian Xuan Land was the Great Sage of the Great Zhen Dynasty.
What was a great sage? It was only when no one could surpass him in knowledge that he could be called a great sage.
…………
"Xun Yu greets Your Majesty."
Just as the officials were shocked, Xun Yu walked into the True Dragon Palace.
After entering the True Dragon Palace, Xun Yu looked at Qin Zheng and bowed respectfully.
"It really is Xun Yu…"
When the officials saw Xun Yu, their hearts trembled.
They said that they were irreplaceable. On one hand, their families were powerful. On the other hand, they were confident in their abilities. They were confident that once they were killed, the system of the Great Dynasty would collapse.
However, Xun Yu's appearance made them nervous.
They all knew Xun Yu's ability. It could be said that there was no one like him in the past or in the future.
If they were to die, the only person in the world who had the ability to keep the Great Zhen Dynasty in order would be Xun Yu.
They had never thought that Xun Yu would appear.
Because Xun Yu was devoted to learning, it was impossible for him to become an official in the court. During the period of the former emperor, he had been invited many times. Xun Yu's answer was always the same: he had no interest in the court.
Even though the former emperor had promised him the position of king, Xun Yu remained indifferent.
However, Xun Yu, who had not even been moved by Wang Jue, had actually come to the Imperial Court and was so respectful to Qin Zheng. How could he have already submitted to Qin Zheng after settling the matter?
…………
"No need for formalities, Xun Yu. They said that they are irreplaceable. Once they die, the Great Zhen Dynasty will be in chaos. Do you think they are right?”Qin Zheng looks at Xun Yu and says smilingly.
"What impact can the death of a bunch of good-for-nothings have on the Great Zhen Dynasty?”Xun Yu said calmly after hearing Qin Zheng's words.
"Xun Yu, do you know what you are saying?”
"Xun Yu, do you really think that you can be so arrogant just because you are knowledgeable?”
"With us dead, you can't maintain the government by yourself.”
As soon as Xun Yu said this, all the civil and military officials began to curse at him.
"A frog at the bottom of a well will never know how big the world is. Don't use your thoughts to guess my ability.”Xun Yu said indifferently when he heard the conversation around him.
"Xun Yu, even if you have the ability to stabilize the government, can you stabilize the entire Dazhen Dynasty? Out of the 923 counties in the Great Zhen Dynasty, 80% of the county governors are inextricably linked to us. If we die, they will all feel threatened.”
"At that time, it was still chaotic. If you want to solve it, you can only kill them together. But if the Imperial Court kills them together, can you find so many officials guarding the prefectural city?”The old man in the first rank official uniform looked at Xun Yu and questioned him.
