King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 221: The emperor will not send

  Chapter 221 The emperor will not give it away

   said, "Return to Your Majesty, the minister is the vice president of the Imperial Academy."

  Hearing this, Junli frowned, and looked Mr. Zhang up and down. Can such a person be the Vice President of the Imperial Academy? Sure enough, the imperial court had too many moths to clean up.

   "You just said that the emperor let you go?" Junli raised his eyebrows, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.

  Master Zhang did not doubt it, and nodded quickly, "Yes, your majesty, as long as your majesty proves my innocence and releases me, I am willing to embarrass your majesty until I die."

  Hearing this, Jun Li's eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm, "So, Mr. Zhang didn't embarrass the emperor before, and passed away after he died?"

  Master Zhang suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat, and said with a dry smile, "How could it be..." At the end of the speech, a guilty conscience flashed in his eyes.

  Jun Li shook his head, stopped asking her this question, but said, "Do you think the Emperor will let you go?"

  Master Zhang nodded sharply.

  The corner of Junli's lips curled up into a smile of unknown meaning, and he said lightly, "If you want the emperor to let you go..."

  Master Zhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I would like to do my best for Your Majesty, until I die."

  Jun Li Yile, "That's unnecessary." After a pause, she continued, "You can leave now."

  The surprise came so suddenly that Mr. Zhang couldn't accept it for a while. After he realized it, he quickly got up from the ground and smiled at Junli, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'll leave now, I'll leave now."

   As she said that, she turned around and walked outside the layers of guards. She didn't want to stay in this place at all, and she felt uncomfortable all over if she stayed for a while longer.

  As soon as he walked out of the encirclement of the guards, Master Zhang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty really planned to let her go.

  But she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if some storm was about to hit her.

   Turning around by mistake, she happened to meet Shang Junli's eyes.

   Master Zhang’s heart trembled, he swallowed subconsciously, and wanted to leave here quickly, but he couldn’t move his feet no matter what.

  Master Zhang panicked, feeling like a ghost. I tried **** my feet, but I still couldn't move my feet, and I couldn't even lift them up.

  Master Zhang was sweating profusely on his forehead, but he heard Junli's voice suddenly.

   "By the way, Mr. Zhang, you don't have to come back after you leave."

  The words uttered in a faint voice made her froze. She turned her head and looked at Junli in disbelief, but she didn't notice that she could move at this time.

   "Your Majesty, what did you say..."

  The corners of Junli's lips curled up slightly, "Why, Mr. Zhang didn't hear clearly? Then the emperor will say it again."

  Giving her a light look, Junli said flatly, "Let you go, that is to let you go back to your hometown, and you don't have to continue to be an official in the court."

  Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he threw himself in front of Junli, snotted, "Your Majesty, I really have nothing to do with Murong Jue..."

  Master Zhang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted impatiently by Junli.

   "Enough, pull it down and execute it directly!"

  No one thought she was joking with the cold tone, and the ministers who had a close relationship with Murong Jue on weekdays trembled even more, their faces full of contentment.

  It seems that they are the ones who will be killed next...

  The ministers felt very regretful, why did they get mixed up with Murong Jue in such a way at the beginning? Isn't this courting death!

  All the ministers beat their chests and stomped their feet, as if they had spilled a cup of bitter water in their hearts, they were extremely uncomfortable.

  At this time, two guards stepped forward, one of them held Master Zhang's arm, and dragged him outside. The long sword at his waist touched the armor on his body, making dull sounds from time to time.

  Master Zhang was so frightened that he was trembling all over. Seeing that the two guards had drawn out the long swords at their waists and gestured at his neck, Master Zhang's neck instantly felt cold.

   "Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake, so I will resign from my old age and return home. Your Majesty will..."

  Before he finished speaking, a human head rolled off his neck and rolled straight to several ministers.

  Those ministers had never seen such a scene before, they rolled their eyes in fright, and passed out directly.

  Seeing this, Jun Li sneered, he really is a bunch of useless guys!

   Turning his head to look at those ministers who had close contacts with Murong Jue on weekdays, Jun Li narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

   "What do you think?" The faint voice sounded like a ghost to the ears of those ministers.

One of the ministers forced himself to calm down, and quickly smiled, "Your Majesty, although I have had a lot of contacts with this **** Murong Jue on weekdays, I have absolutely no heart for Murong Jue. I would like to return home to prove my innocence." .” He knelt down and smacked his head a few times.

  Seeing this, the other ministers came to understand one after another, knowing that resigning from office is the only way to survive at this time. If they hesitate again, I am afraid that the fate of Master Zhang will be their fate.

  At present, several ministers have expressed their willingness to retire and return home.

  Jun Li saw that they were all interested, so with a wave of his bare hand, they were all right.

  The hearts of several ministers were full of bitterness. Although they had saved their lives, they could no longer call the wind and rain. Such a sudden gap made them feel quite uncomfortable.

   "Your Majesty, since there is no minister waiting for anything here, I will leave now."

  Junli nodded, "Go back and pack your things early, let's go tomorrow, the emperor won't send them away."

  Hearing this, several ministers were full of excitement, supported each other, and staggered towards the palace gate.

  Where they passed, everyone consciously gave way. These ministers who were deeply entrenched in the DPRK withdrew from the political arena in this way.

  After the figures of several ministers disappeared, Jun Li glanced at Master Zhang's corpse on the ground, waved lightly, and was carried home.

Looking around at the ministers around him, Junli said calmly, "In a few days, the imperial examination will be held, and after that, I will be appointed as an official to inject fresh blood into my Beirong, but the official positions in the court... are almost full. There are so many students this year, this emperor wants to recruit more talented people..."

   Having said this, Junli stopped talking. But the meaning of those words was understood by the ministers.

  At the moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all of them pretended to be dead and kept silent.

  Seeing this, the corners of Junli's mouth curled up in a sneer, and he knew it would be like this!

  Took two thick notebooks from a guard at the side, and handed them to Prime Minister Meng and Shi Feng respectively.

"It records all the political achievements of officials, large and small, including officials of various states, cities, towns and counties in the past five years, as well as their daily actions. The prime minister and General Shi are the main ones. Lord Ye, as your assistant, let's take a look together, those who are corrupt and pervert the law, cheat for personal gain, exploit the common people, and increase the tax burden of the common people in private. If there is resistance, I will immediately mobilize the army of the local prefecture to suppress it for the emperor! Kill the nine clans!"
