The rune memory stone fell at Ji Liufeng's feet.
He picked it up with a sullen face, feeling very angry.
This kid, now that his wings had hardened, he actually dared to reprimand him like this in public.
No matter what, he was Yin Lan's father, his future father-in-law!
He held back his anger and injected his vital energy into the rune memory stone.
The memory stone glowed, showing an image in the air.
Ji Liufeng only looked at it for a moment before his face changed.
His whole body trembled, he ran to the left minister, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, roaring, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty … I … I also don't know what's going on!"
The left minister looked completely clueless.
"You tell me, what's going on?" Ji Liufeng kicked the right minister and said angrily, "I gave you full authority to settle the families of the martyrs and to compensate them. I ordered you again and again that there must be no problems. How did you do it!"
The right minister covered the place where he was kicked and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's hard to avoid mistakes in such a big country. If this matter is true, it must be the corruption of the officials. I will definitely deal with this matter seriously. But the truth of the matter needs to be investigated. Perhaps that old man is not a martyr's family member at all, but an imposter! "
"You mean, I didn't find out the truth and wronged you here?"
Jun Wu Xie was immediately angered. These two ants, did their heads get caught in the door? How dare they do this in front of him, it was simply ridiculous.
"Emperor God, please calm down. We didn't mean that. We just feel that there's something fishy about this matter. Perhaps someone is framing us …"
Jun Wu Xie didn't want to talk nonsense with them. He said to the outside of the hall, "Come in."
Immediately, a group of soldiers wearing black armor filed in. The mo sword in their hands flickered with a cold metallic luster, carrying a murderous aura.
When the right minister and the left minister saw this, they immediately understood that the situation was hopeless. Jun Wu Xie was determined to punish them.
"Emperor God! You are overstepping your authority, openly leading soldiers into the throne room. What are you trying to do, are you rebelling? "
They shouted loudly, trying to appear fierce. They were going to die anyway, no matter what, they had to struggle. They weren't willing to sit and wait for death.
"Shut up!" Ji Liufeng stepped forward and slapped the Left and Right Prime Ministers' faces. He said angrily, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has long been his, how can there be a rebellion! Without him, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have perished long ago! You two bastards, what kind of dirty business have you done behind my back?! "
"What are you waiting for? Arrest him!"
Jun Wu Xie gave the order to the Black Armored Troops.
In an instant, the Black Armored Troops charged towards the officials, causing the entire throne room to descend into chaos. Screams and hysterical roars rose and fell one after another.
"Sovereign God, you can't do this! Without us, there will be a large number of vacancies in the important positions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There will be no one to govern the country, and the political affairs will be a mess. Give us a chance. We know our mistakes, and we will definitely change! "
"Take him away and escort him to the execution ground!"
Jun Wu Xie did not want to listen to this nonsense at all.
What a bunch of laughable people. They actually wanted to use this as a bargaining chip.
Not to mention that he had already prepared a replacement for the vacant high official position, so what if there was no replacement for the moment?
If the political affairs were stranded, then so be it. The Great Zhou Dynasty would not fall into chaos because of this. As long as the army entered the city to maintain order, the people could still live as before and do their own things.
In the throne room, there were less than thirty officials left out of the hundreds of officials.
Jun Wu Xie's ruthless actions had caught everyone off guard. No one had expected a disaster to befall them so suddenly.
The experts of the Xuanyuan clan had investigated thoroughly. They had thoroughly investigated all the shady dealings of the officials in the imperial court in the past six months. No matter how big or small, there was irrefutable evidence.
The experts of the Sage Sect had investigated these people who were only in the Qi Condensation and Grotto-Heaven realms.
It was too easy for the Sage Sect's souls to pry into the minds of people of lower realms when they were asleep. It was as easy as reading their memories.
With the information in the memories of those officials, all that was left was to collect the evidence according to their memories. None of them could escape!
"All of you, go to the execution ground now to watch the execution!"
He looked at the remaining officials. Those officials couldn't help but tremble. They retreated from the main hall with fear and trepidation. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat, but they felt very satisfied in their hearts.
At the same time, they were also glad that they had maintained their integrity and bottom line in the face of the Right Minister and the Left Minister's pressure. They hadn't given in and colluded with them. Otherwise, they would have been finished today!
"Wu Xie …"
Ji Liufeng's face was full of bitterness. At this moment, he felt incomparably ashamed.
Thinking of the past, it was also because of his incompetence that the Great Zhou Dynasty was held hostage by several aristocratic families.
He originally thought that he wouldn't make such a mistake again, but he didn't expect that he would still use the wrong person.
"Your Majesty, when Yinlan comes back, you should abdicate. The future throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be taken by her!"
Jun Wu Xie's words were somewhat ruthless. There was no room for discussion or objection. He opened his mouth to deprive Ji Liufeng of his identity as the emperor.
"Okay, I have nothing to say. I'm incompetent …"
There was a deep sense of defeat in Ji Liufeng's heart. As the emperor of a country, he was really a failure in controlling his subjects all these years.
On the surface, it seemed that he was controlling his subjects, but in reality, it was his subjects who were playing him in circles.
"Your biggest problem is that you're always sitting in the imperial court, always staying in the imperial palace. You never understand the real situation of this country. Even if you secretly nurtured a group of trusted aides, let them disguise themselves as ordinary people, and go to the common people to take a look. You won't be so gullible as to believe the treacherous officials and be played in the palm of their hands! "
Ji Liufeng sighed. At this moment, he seemed to have aged quite a bit.
"In the future, you can accompany your Empress every day. Isn't that the kind of life you want?"
Jun Wu Xie's tone softened a little, and there was a slight teasing tone.
After all, he was Yinlan's father. If he wasn't really too angry, he wouldn't have gotten so angry in public.
"That's right. You're right. I can finally be at ease and accompany the Empress without caring about anything else …" Ji Liufeng smiled and said, "You've secretly made such a big move. You should've caught a lot of people this time, right?"
"Three hundred forty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-three people."
"What?"
Ji Liufeng trembled and almost fell to the ground on his butt.
His lips trembled a few times, and he said, "You've arrested more than half of the officials and public servants in the city?"
"Among them, there are also quite a number of merchants and tyrants who collude with the officials. This malignant tumor must be uprooted. Not a single one can be left alive! Only with iron blood can the law maintain the atmosphere of a country and the people of a country be at peace! "
"But in this way, how can those vacancies be filled? I'm afraid there will be political chaos for a very long time!"
"The implementation of political affairs can be suspended. We can take advantage of this time to let the people from the Xuanyuan Clan come to fill in the vacancies of the high officials and discuss the principles and strategies of governing the country again. As for the order of this city, there won't be a problem with the Black Armored Army. The people can still live according to their original rhythm. At present, what we urgently need are the lowest level officials to deal with the disputes in the daily lives of the people. "
"Sigh, that's the only way."
"Your Majesty, your thoughts are still stuck in the past. The current Great Zhou is no longer the ordinary country of the past. It is currently transforming into an imperial court of the cultivation world. As time passes, those trivial matters of the past will only become fewer and fewer. "
Ji Liufeng was stunned for a moment before he seemed to regain his senses.
That's right, the current Great Zhou was no longer the Great Zhou of the past.
The current city was filled with spiritual Qi, like a paradise. Moreover, it was rich in spiritual rice. In another year or so, the entire population would probably be martial artists.
At that time, the people wouldn't have to worry about their livelihood like before, nor would they have to worry about illness. Many problems would be easily solved.
At that time, it would be fine as long as the order of the country could be maintained and the general direction of the country's development could be determined.
"Sovereign God." A Black Armored Army commander hurried over. "The crimes of those people are about to be announced. Your Majesty and your Majesty should enter the venue."
Jun Wu Xie nodded and walked out of the hall. Ji Liufeng followed behind him.
…
The Great Zhou's execution ground was extremely vast.
Originally, there was no execution ground here. It was only when the capital was restored to its former appearance as Great Emperor Xuanyuan's capital that the execution ground appeared in the light of runes.
In the center of the execution ground was a huge execution platform, surrounded by empty squares. The style of the entire building was like a huge bird's nest.
There were slanted steps in all directions, making it convenient for the spectators to see the execution on the execution platform.
There were also runes carved near the execution platform.
At this moment, the runes were shining brightly and reflected in the air, forming a huge light screen.
The light screen was showing the scene on the execution platform. However, the people kneeling on the platform were magnified many times, so that the entire execution ground could be seen clearly, even those standing at the edge.
On the execution platform, rows of people were kneeling. Each row was a thousand meters long, and there were hundreds of rows in total!
This was only a part of it. Due to the large number of people being executed, they could only be carried out in batches. The rest were suppressed under the execution platform, guarded by the Black Armored Army and a few experts from the Xuanyuan clan.
A sage from the Xuanyuan clan was reading out the crimes of these people. There were more than forty crimes listed, and some of them were so vile that it was difficult to list them all.
Millions of people gathered in the execution ground, and they were all furious.
"Kill these pests!"
"Kill these pests!"
The crowd's voices shook the execution ground. They were so loud and furious that they couldn't wait to rush up and tear these people to pieces.
After reading out all the crimes, the expert from the Xuanyuan clan said, "Due to the large number of people who have violated the law, we can only read out their crimes together today. In the future, we will announce their crimes to the public one by one!"
Jun Wu Xie and Ji Liufeng arrived at the execution ground at this moment.
Ji Liufeng was trembling from anger.
Before he arrived, he had heard the expert from the Xuanyuan clan reading out the crimes from afar.
The expert at the peak of the sage realm didn't disperse, and his voice spread throughout the city. Most of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty heard it clearly.
"Young Master Jun!"
The expert from the Xuanyuan clan greeted him.
"Welcome, Emperor God!"
The Black Armored Army neatly knelt on one knee, and the modao on the ground made a clanging sound.
"Get up."
Jun Wu Xie coldly glanced at the people who were about to be executed.
On the execution platform, there was a cross behind each kneeling person. On the cross hung a net made of metal wire and a few thin knives.
"Emperor God, please spare us! Emperor God, please spare us. We won't dare to do it again. We won't dare to do it again. Please spare us! "
For a moment, mournful cries resounded through the sky.
The people who were about to be executed trembled and cried bitterly. Their eyes were filled with fear, and some even wet themselves in public.
"Execute!"
Jun Wu Xie did not care about the cries and pleas for mercy as she coldly gave the order.
Immediately, tens of thousands of Black Armored Army went up the execution ground, lifted those people up, and fixed them on the crosses.
Those people struggled madly and screamed in fear, but it was to no avail.
After they were fixed on the crosses, the Black Armored Army took down the metal net and covered them with it. With a strong pull, the metal net tightened, causing the flesh on their bodies to bulge out from the holes in the net.
At this moment, the Black Armored Army took out their blades and began to cut off the flesh that bulged out from the holes in the net.
In an instant, mournful screams resounded through the sky.
These screams were too mournful, like the wails of malicious spirits. It caused goosebumps to appear all over the people's bodies, and their hearts involuntarily constricted.
In the sky, the rune light screen projected the scene of the execution, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
The light screen was high up in the sky, not only projecting the execution ground, but also many areas in the capital city, allowing the people present to see the entire scene. The entire process.
The scene was extremely cruel and bloody.
Although this scene caused many people to feel uncomfortable, the commoners felt extremely carefree in their hearts.
Some people had been bullied and treated unfairly, but they did not dare to voice their anger. Now that they saw the corrupt officials who bent the law for personal gain, the evil merchants who exploited the people, and the local gentry and tycoons who colluded with the officials being executed, the anger in their hearts could finally be vented.
At the execution ground, some of the people who were waiting to be executed were so frightened that they fainted.
The entire execution ground was filled with the strong smell of feces and urine. Many people could not withstand the horror of this cruel scene and lost control of their bowels on the spot.
The officials who had never violated the law were all frightened to the point of trembling.
In this world, when had there ever been a ruler who used such methods, a large-scale collective dismemberment of officials who had bent the law for personal gain?
Such a scale was probably unprecedented.
At the same time, they also clearly realized how ruthless Jun Wu Xie's methods were. His methods were ruthless, and he did not care about the consequences at all.
The execution lasted for a long time, and it was not over until the third day.
Every batch of people who were dismembered had to go through an entire day of torture. While they maintained their senses, Jun Wu Xie had the Little Realm Tree secretly take action, hanging on to their lives until all the flesh on their bodies were cut off, leaving only their skeletons. Only then did he let them take their last breaths.
On the fourth day, Jun Wu Xie left the execution ground.
He could not wait until the execution was over. After giving some instructions to the experts of the Xuanyuan Clan and the commander-in-chief of the Black Armored Army, he returned to Zong Wang Mountain.
"How's the selection of talents going?"
He asked the Ling Concubine.
"There are many ambitious people who have eagerly signed up. After passing the basic examination, a few batches have been selected. However, if we let them take up their positions like this, I'm afraid it won't work … "
"Make the arrangements, and then discuss with the people of the Xuanyuan Clan. Let them train the selected people, and during the training, let them familiarize themselves with the basic situation of the various departments and organizations. Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Finally, for those who do not pass the training, erase their memories of government affairs. "
After Jun Wu Xie finished speaking, he summoned Lan Lan and said to a certain room: "Keqing, it's time for us to go to the Eastern Wasteland."
"Now?"
Qin Keqing hurriedly walked out of the room. She was both expectant and apprehensive. She was also slightly nervous.
"Come up."
He sat on Lan Lan's back and stretched out his hand to Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing grabbed his hand and flipped over, sitting in front of him. Lan Lan soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon like a ray of blue light.
