In the imperial study, five cabinet ministers knelt in front of the dragon case, and the emperor sat majestic on a large leopard-skin chair. He did not expect that the people in the cabinet would arrive so soon.

He swept a few red-headed folds lightly. Although the words were different, the contents were the same. He put down the memorial and said lightly: "Get up!"

Five cabinet ministers Xie En stood up and stood in front.

"What can be discussed?" the emperor glanced at several ministers and asked lightly.

Master Xiao bowed and said, "Returning to the priest, this matter is of great importance. I dare not make a decision without authorization. I come to meet the priest and beg the priest to make a decision!"

"Please make a decision!" The other four people also bowed together.

A cold smile flashed across the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he immediately said, "Is this difficult to decide? Didn't the things in the past begging me to make a decision? Today... why did I come to deal with it?"

Master Xiao said: "After the emperor, the He clan is a century-old family of Yan State after all, and his ancestors are also heroes of our Yan State, so it is of great importance. My ministers and others dare not make decisions without authorization!"

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "It is true that the ancestors of the He family have made contributions, but their He clan has enjoyed nearly a hundred years of glory and is worthy of their He family. Now they do not know how to serve the king and the country, but they secretly have ill-telled and intend to rebel... Dear friends, do you think there is another way to deal with this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Su Guanya said carefully: "What the emperor means is... to kill the clan?"

When Master Xiao heard this, his eyes twitched twice.

The Xiao family and the He family are in-laws. He Xuezhi's wife is the daughter of Taishi Xiao. In other words, if you kill the clan, your own daughter will undoubtedly die.

But at this time, what can he say?

You can't just involve the Xiao family just because of a daughter.

The emperor smiled faintly and turned to Hu Xuexin, "Hu Aiqing, you are the minister of Dali Temple. In the Dali Temple, there is the law of my Yan Kingdom. You should be very clear about the law of my Dayan?"

Hu Xuexin hurriedly said: "Yes!"

"So what should be the crime of treason?"

Hu Xuexin immediately said: "Punish the clan!"

"Yes, Yan Ru is well written clearly, and there is no difficulty in this matter. Why can't you make a decision?" The emperor said lightly: "Can you betrayal because the ancestors of the He clan have made great contributions? The achievements of their ancestors have given them a reward. If the glory and wealth of a hundred years are not the great achievements of their ancestors, how can they get it? If the merits are rewarded and the crimes are punished. Since it is a serious crime of treason, even if the ancestors have great achievements, they must follow Yan Rules to deal with it..."

The cabinet ministers were speechless.

The emperor's words not only dealt with the He clan's rebellion, but also reminded these giants of the aristocratic families.

Everyone also knew that if it were a year ago, the emperor might not have said this, but now the emperor has Bozhou County in his hands, and Wu County after the demise of the Ximen Family was also controlled by the royal family. In a year, the royal family has gained huge benefits in several turmoils, and the strength of the royal family itself has been greatly enhanced.

The emperor... has the confidence to say tough words.

...

"Master, the He clan is quite powerful in the capital." Fan Yunao reported: "I am worried that once they learn about the news from Yichun, they will be able to break the verge of death and make the final struggle... There are also a large number of guard guards in their mansions. If they really want to fight back, there will be chaos in the capital..."

Hu Xuexin also hurriedly said, "What Lord Fan said is very true. When the Ye and Wu families rebelled, the capital also had a great war. If the Imperial Guard had not responded quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

The emperor frowned and said, "What are the good plans for the two beloved ministers?"

Fan Yunao stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, I beg the Lord to issue an order to show Princess Xiu and send officials from the East Flower Hall to monitor the He clan officials. If anyone in it has any abnormal movement, they will immediately arrest them secretly... At night, the nine gates of the capital city will be blocked, the Imperial Guards will be mobilized, and the He clan officials will be arrested overnight...!"

Yanjing City has four major gates and five partial gates, collectively known as "Nine Gates"!

A strange look flashed in the emperor's eyes and he did not speak immediately.

In fact, in the emperor's heart, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Yunao's mention of the East Flower Hall.

Among the institutions of Yan State, the only one who obeyed the emperor was the most caught by the emperor was probably the Flower Hall. Even the Imperial Guards of the Royal Guards was mixed and the power of the aristocratic families was infiltrated.

In the emperor's mind, the cabinet can interfere in everything, but it must not touch the flower hall.

At this time, Fan Yunao proposed that the flower hall should be carried out, which was equivalent to the cabinet intervening in the operation of the flower hall, which made the emperor feel very unhappy, but he also knew that since Fan Yunao proposed it at this time, it must have been negotiated by the cabinet.

Although the strength of the royal family has increased significantly this year, it is far from enough to compete with the forces of aristocratic families dominated by the cabinet.

The most important thing, the most important thing at present, is to quietly capture all the He tribe officials in one place, and the He tribe officials cannot launch an unrest in the capital.

Although even if the He tribe officials initiated a turmoil, they would eventually be extinguished, a turmoil will always cause a lot of trouble in Beijing and will cause chaos in Beijing for a while. In that case, it is very likely that the enemy's spies will seize the opportunity and do something more unfavorable to Yan.

Naturally, few people are willing to see the bleeding in Beijing.

It is always much better to use the officials of the Flower Hall than the He tribe who may launch large-scale unrest.

Sitting on the big leopard skin chair, the emperor was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Come!"

The eunuch who was serving outside the imperial study room immediately came in and knelt down and said, "The slave is here!"

"Go and invite Princess Xiu!" the emperor said lightly: "Give her an order to see me quickly!"

The eunuch took the order and left. The cabinet ministers looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while.

The emperor pondered for a moment before saying, "Fan Aiqing, the Ministry of War can issue a military order. Tonight... just do what you should do!"

"I received the order!" Fan Yunao said respectfully.

The emperor nodded slightly, thoughtful, then looked at Master Xiao and asked, "What are you going to do with Yichun?"

Master Xiao said: "Han Mo has two thousand imperial guards there, and Zhuge Min also arranged a city guard there to control the situation. The heads of the He clan were detained... There should be no major problems in Yichun. Han Mo and Zhuge Min can immediately arrest the main figures of the He clan and send people to escort them to Beijing..."

The emperor waved his hand, "You don't have to escort it to Beijing... There are too many people, so I'm afraid there will be changes on this road...!"

Master Xiao narrowed his eyes and then said, "What the emperor means is to deal with it on the spot?"

"Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice both sent officials to check there...the people related to the He tribe are waiting..." The emperor paused, pondered for a moment before saying lightly: "Dispose it on the spot!"

Master Xiao bowed and said, "Old minister receives the order!"

Han Xuandao said: "The emperor starts to listen to the water situation in Yichun, but there are still more than 100,000 victims who are suffering from disasters cannot return home immediately... There are several urges for disaster relief food. Although I have tried my best,... it is difficult to raise the food..."

The emperor's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, and he just flashed by, saying, "The memorial was reported. There was a large amount of food hidden in the gossip. Let's use it first. As for weapons and armor, Han Mo sent someone to store it for the time being, and transport it back to Beijing and include it in the Ministry of Revenue...!"

Han Xuandao immediately received the order.

"The Lord, the disaster has not passed. Most of the three counties in the eastern part of Yichun are He clan officials...!" Su Guanya suddenly said: "Once it is handled, there will be many vacancies in the local government offices, which is not conducive to the disaster... Please make the Lord decide on this matter!"

The cabinet giants all immediately mentioned the gods.

At this moment, they realized that the division of power among the three eastern counties in Yichun had begun. After the political reshuffle, the royal family benefited the most, which made the giants of the aristocratic families also began to be on guard.

In the hearts of the aristocratic families, the growth of the strength of the royal family is the greatest threat to the aristocratic families. Therefore, at the same time, the giants of the aristocratic families immediately formed a unity in their hearts. This time, the royal family must not continue to benefit.

A strange look flashed in the emperor's eyes. How could he not know the thoughts of these giants in aristocratic families?

He also knew that at this time, once the aristocratic families united, the royal family could not confront each other. In the first two political storms, the royal family took the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits. This time... I am afraid it will be difficult.

There was a long time in the imperial study room.

This is a sensitive topic. At this time, it is placed between the king and the minister, making the atmosphere in the imperial study very strange.

"What are your suggestions?" In the end, it was the emperor who broke the strange tranquility.

None of the five giants in the cabinet came forward to speak for a moment.

The six people in the imperial study room, including the emperor, were all scheming and thought about what others would think at this time. These people were all influential figures in the political world of Yan State, and everyone was full of scheming. Everyone knew that every sentence and word at this time was crucial.

So before you think of rigorous and incisive remarks, no one dares to speak out easily.

The Imperial study fell into a dead silence again.

This situation can only happen in a country with a strange political form like Yan State.

"Bang!"

After a long time, the emperor slapped the dragon case, and the anger on his face was not sure whether it was true or false: "The great Yan State is, and you are also an important minister of Yan State. Can't you come up with a solution for such a thing?"

Master Xiao coughed a few times before bowing, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of an old minister, even if you send officials to the office at this time, you will not be familiar with the affairs of Yichun and may not play a great role."

Han Xuandao continued: "The emperor, the words of the Grand Master are reasonable. According to my opinion, although there will be a lack of officials in the local yamen after the He clan officials are executed, there will always be some officials in the local yamen who are not allowed to do it, but the official business can be temporarily handled. If the official is done well, it will be severely punished if it is not done well. Moreover, there are Situ Jing, Zhuge Min, Han Mo, Xiao Huaijin and Lord Xiao, and many officials in the capital... With their joint efforts, they should be able to handle the disaster smoothly..."

"Situ Jing?" Master Xiao glanced at Han Xuandao: "As far as the old minister knows, Situ Jing was accomplice to the tiger when she was in Yichun... The red head broke the news and mentioned that He Mian had dispatched troops without authorization. I am afraid that this is also unrelated to Situ Jing?"

As soon as he said this, several people thought to themselves: "Situ Jing is getting close to the He family, that is accomplice for the tiger. Your Xiao family and the He family are close, so what?"

Master Xiao said this, after seeing the red head, he knew that Situ Jing had betrayed the He family, so he always wanted to put Situ Jing to death.

However, Han Xuandao also saw Situ Jing's memorial and knew that Han Mo had almost controlled Situ Jing this time and could let Situ Jing come with him, but he was afraid that Situ Jing would have the intention to join the Han tribe.

Although he is a villain, he always has some uses.

So Han Xuandao immediately said: "Sir, whether Situ Jing is guilty is to be investigated carefully. However, Situ Jing reported the truth about this memorial. Moreover, Situ Jing has been in Yichun for many years and has a very good understanding of the situation in Yichun. With him, disaster relief affairs should be handled better. It is a merit or a crime, and can be discussed after the disaster!"

Hu Xuexin also said: "It is time to use people now. Even if Situ Jing is guilty, he can serve the court for the time being... As Lord Han said, his crime can be dealt with after the disaster!"

The emperor said lightly: "Just do it like this... I am tired. If you all have nothing to do, please step down first..."

The ministers then bowed and said, "

Seeing the cabinet ministers withdrawing from the imperial study, the emperor's face showed a gloomy look and he clenched his fists, but soon, his fists slowly loosened again.

Another aristocratic family disappeared from the political territory of Yan State. This was a happy thing for the royal family after all.

Over the past year, the four major families of Ye, Wu, Ximen and He have fallen one after another, and the speed is really shocking. Although the main factors of the fall of these four families are the reasons of their own families, it is undeniable that they have more or less related to Han Mo.

It can be said that if it weren't for Han Mo, the result of these four major families would be a different situation.

If Han Mo had not crossed the Ligu Mountains and opened the Ligu Pass, the Ye and Wu families might not be defeated. If the Ligu Pass is not broken, it is still unknown who will win and who will win in that war, and who will win and who will win.

If Han Mo hadn't infiltrated into the Qiqiao Pavilion of Ximen's family, what would have been the result of the assassination of Ximen Leizang and the Black Flag of Wei Kingdom?

If Han Mo had not revealed the mysterious gossip trap by chance, the He family would not have been destroyed so quickly!

The young man who emerged suddenly seemed to be the nightmare of aristocratic families, one family after another, quickly disappeared because of his emergence.

The emperor leaned on the chair, closed his eyes, and after a while, he murmured to himself: "Han Mo, you didn't disappoint me, I... want you to do more for me!"

The sword of power is sharp!

A sharp sword can often kill enemies without mercy, but it can also... hurt yourself!
