V2.Chapter 529

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Zhun nodded like pounding rice. He answered three times in a row and said in a hurry: "when I was suffering, it was Tang Aiqing who helped me. Tang Aiqing helped me. How could I be willing to poison Aiqing?"

When he spoke, Yan Zhun's tears fell down, and he became more and more excited. At the end, he almost burst into tears. I don't know whether his words can move others, but he himself has been moved, or this is also a kind of self hypnosis!

Tang Yin's heart is not only sneering, but also sneering. He has seen a lot of incompetent people. Yan Zhun can be regarded as the best of them. For such a son of heaven, he is not willing to kill. It's too late to provide for it!

Under Yan Zhun's cry, Tang Yin's murderous spirit weakened. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have the heart to kill his ministers?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Yan Zhun's head shook like a rattle.

"What does your majesty want to do when he orders to summon all his ministers into the palace late at night?"

"I didn't write the imperial edict at all! It was written by Fang Xiaoxuan himself. If Tang Aiqing doesn't believe it, now you can compare the imperial edict with my handwriting!" Yan Zhun was full of energy and finished his words like a firecracker.

At this time, Fang Xiaoxuan below has slowly sat up. Although he was beaten by Tang Yin, he can still hear the sound in his ears.

He listened to Yan Zhun's words without missing a word. Although he had a heart of death, after listening to Yan Zhun's words, he still couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing.

Tang Yin nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand, helped Yin Zhun to sit on the throne, then waved her hand to pull out the steel knife nailed to the table, took it back into the scabbard, and said, "I understand. What happened tonight was made by Fang Xiaoxuan, Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu and Qin Xuan. It has nothing to do with your majesty."

"Yes, yes, I really didn't participate in it!"

"In that case, please convict your majesty!"

"Ah?" Yin Zhun didn't understand Tang Yin's meaning. What is the crime? Who will be convicted?

As Tang Yin walked down the steps, he said in a loud voice, "Fang Xiaoxuan, Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu and Qin Xuan not only conspired to harm the king, but also secretly killed the doctor, General Ma Yuanma, secretly controlled the imperial palace guards, forged imperial edicts and plotted against the law. The crime is unforgivable. It's hard to write all the bamboo. Your majesty doesn't think it's right to convict these five thieves?"

Yan Zhun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "what Tang Aiqing said is reasonable, oh... What crime should I condemn them?"

"Bullying the king and plotting rebellion!" Tang Yin said, "now, the four thieves Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu and Qin Xuan have been brought to justice. Although the four thieves are dead, they are extremely evil and must not be spared. They should be copied and killed by the whole family."

Yan Zhun nodded as he listened. When Tang Yin finished, he asked, "what about Fang Xiaoxuan?"

Tang Yin turned around and walked outside the main hall. Without looking back, he said, "there is a kind of criminal law called lingchi. It's more suitable for this thief. Your majesty ordered it!" With his voice, before Yan Zhun could make a statement, more than ten bodyguards rushed in outside the hall, tied Fang Xiaoxuan up, and then set him up and walked out.

At this time, Fang Xiaoxuan was completely disillusioned. When he was dragged out, he didn't shout, abuse Tang Yin, or plead with Yin Zhun or anyone. When he decided to do so tonight, he had expected such a result, but the merciless abandonment of the son of heaven made him frustrated and had no desire to survive.

Many of the ministers present left tears and sincerely felt unworthy for Fang Xiaoxuan. They also want to be loyal to the emperor, but is such a emperor still worthy of their loyalty? I'm afraid the result of being loyal to the emperor is the follow-up of Bu Fang Xiaoxuan and others!

Yin Zhun's edict hasn't been issued yet. Fang Xiaoxuan has been dragged out by Feng Jun to carry out lingchi torture. Just above the square outside the main hall, Feng Jun put up a shelf and hung Fang Xiaoxuan on it. Then he stripped off his clothes and wrapped his whole body tightly with a fishnet, strangling his flesh and skin, and then the executive knife cut Fang Xiaoxuan's flesh and skin one by one.

I'm afraid there is no more cruel criminal law in the world than lingchi. Every knife of the executioner made Fang Xiaoxuan scream, and the roar spread into the hall, which made Yin Zhun shiver, who was writing the imperial edict, and the handwriting was like a ghost amulet. The ministers couldn't bear to listen any more, and people looked at each other, At the same time, he kowtowed to Yan Zhun and left the palace. However, as soon as they reached the gate of the hall, they were stopped by the guard of the wind army outside. A general of the wind army headed by them said coldly, "the king has ordered that no one should leave the hall until Fang Xiaoxuan's execution is completed. You adults should take this as a lesson and reflect seriously!"

Seeing this, the ministers of the imperial court retreated into the hall like a frustrated ball, knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

If the number is not enough and the prisoner dies halfway, the executioner will be punished. Therefore, the execution of lingchi is also a technical work, and it will not end soon. It will take at least one or two hours.

The screams outside the hall and the low sobs inside the hall echoed one after another, forming a sad and angry strange picture.

The rebellion of the imperial court ended in failure. The mastermind Fang Xiaoxuan and his accomplices Yang Xiao, Dong Jian, Dai Tu and Qin Xuan were all executed. Together with them, all the family members of the five were killed by the wind army. This assassination can be said to be the most dangerous one Tang Yin has ever experienced. The highly toxic five Yin heartbreaking powder almost killed him. Based on his character, he should have studied deeply and found out all the people involved and executed them at the same time. However, he did not do so. After killing Fang Xiaoxuan and others, he did not continue to investigate the matter, The main reason is that Tang Yin didn't dare to investigate again. If he did, he would have to find Yin Rou's head.

Although the poison was caused by Yin Rou, it was also deceived by Fang Xiaoxuan. In Tang Yin's eyes, Yan Rou, like himself, was also one of the victims.

Fang Xiaoxuan's murder of Tang Yin came to a hasty end, and did not cause much waves in the wind country. Even the people didn't know that such a big event that almost changed the fate of the wind country happened in the palace that night.

However, the impact of this case is not small, but also extremely far-reaching. Through Fang Xiaoxuan's case, the officials of the imperial court were greatly disappointed with Yan Zhun and completely lost confidence. The ministers who were originally lack of loyalty stood firmly on the side of the wind country, while those ministers who were loyal enough went back to their hometown and left the imperial court. Now Yan Zhun is facing a situation of separation of heart and morality and betrayal of relatives, He was also completely alone.

Yan Zhun didn't care about it. He didn't think anyone was loyal to him. The departure of loyal officials couldn't arouse his sadness. As long as he was the son of heaven and he could continue to live a stable, comfortable and enjoyable life, it didn't matter to him who left.

Selfish, cowardly, suspicious and confused, this is the best summary of Yin Zhun. Of course, he was not born with such a personality. He was completely given by the acquired environment. I'm afraid Tang Yin also contributed to it!

Shortly after this incident, Tang Yin cleaned the palace guards and completely replaced them from top to bottom. This time, he transferred 50000 soldiers from the most stable Chifeng army to serve as the palace guards.

Chifeng army is stationed in Fengguo all year round. Because it does not participate in foreign wars, there are no casualties in the army, and the composition of personnel is very fixed. Because of this, Chifeng army is now the only Legion composed of pure feng people in Fengguo army, and its loyalty to Fengguo and Tang Yin is undoubtedly the highest.

After cleaning the guards of the Imperial Palace, Tang Yin's next goal was to clean the internal officials of Fengguo. Because of the rapid expansion of Fengguo and the huge gap in official positions, the recruitment of officials is also mixed, focusing only on talent rather than loyalty.

Through Fang Xiaoxuan's event, Tang Yin made up his mind to make major adjustments to internal officials. He would rather spend a lot of money and select talents with both talent and loyalty.

Tang Yin was able to carry out drastic reform and rectification of Fengguo, but he was very weak to Yin rou.

The day after Fang Xiaoxuan was executed by lingchi, Tang Yin came to Yonghe palace to find Yin Rou, but she avoided it.

Not that Yin Rou didn't want to see Tang Yin, but that she didn't know how to face him. Because of her own relationship, Tang Yin almost died of poisoning, which was a great blow to Yin rou. For Tang Yin, she felt guilty and ashamed.

Tang Yin could understand Yan Rou's mood more or less. He wanted to let Yan Rou know that he didn't resent her, but Yan Rou insisted on not seeing him, and he couldn't say these words to Yan rou.

While he was thinking about how to repair the relationship between himself and Yin Rou, the war in the South broke out.

The 200000 troops of the state of Huan suddenly crossed the border of an and Huan, broke into Chizhou County of an and launched an all-round battle with the stationed army of an.

The Huan army's attack came too suddenly and without warning. Even though the an army had made preparations to defend against the sneak attack, it was still caught off guard by the Huan army.

Under the fierce attack of the Huan army, the an army was difficult to resist. The camps and fortresses set up at the border between the two countries were broken one after another. Finally, the an army led by Bai Qing had no choice but to retreat.

An Jun retreated like a flood discharge, retreating again and again, from the border between the two countries to Meicheng, the county city of Chizhou. After retreating to Meicheng, Bai Qing ordered the whole army to defend the county city and not retreat half a step.

She knew in her heart that if she retreated again and gave way to the county and city, her army would have no place in Chizhou and the whole county would fall into the hands of Huan army.
