    Xue Rui had a roster on hand, recording the officials of the An Dynasty who he thought could be reused, totaling more than a hundred people.  He did not waste time persuading them one by one. Instead, he divided the people into three groups, took them out of the prison one by one, and brought them to the Dali Temple court.  Most of this group of people have low official positions, regardless of their ability, but their official records and evaluations are excellent every year. They can be regarded as a force in the middle reaches of the court, and there are many of them.  Dozens of people were brought to the court in shackles. They were all shabby-looking and worried. They were afraid that their death was coming. They looked up at the sky and saw a powerful tiger chair sitting alone in the high hall. There was a man sitting on the chair.  A man wearing a strong robe and soft armor, with a crown of white feathers on his head, with copper-colored skin, plump heavenly eyes and bright eyes, a victorious heavenly soldier and heavenly general descending to earth.  Everyone's hearts were in suspense. Some of them saw that the nobleman from the Yan Kingdom looked familiar. For a moment, they couldn't remember who he looked like. Then they saw the burly general standing beside him, taking a step forward with his sword and saying in a fierce voice:  "You sinners, there is King Changping of Great Yan in the hall, and you still don't kowtow and kneel down!" This lion's roar frightened a group of civil servants. Immediately, some of them had weak legs and knelt down, and some of them had the backbone to stand firm.  He said nothing.  Xue Rui glanced at the expressions on their faces, waved his hand for Sha Liao to step aside, and told everyone: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. The kings of the previous dynasty were ignorant and incompetent. They could not resist the foreign countries, but they abandoned their loyalty and betrayed their ancestors.  I have no regard for the common people. It is destiny that I, Dayan, take over." He paused briefly, changed his sitting position, and leaned forward: "Of course, I have a broad mind and a tolerance for others.  Although I captured Emperor Chongzhen alive, I spared his life as a favor. As for you criminals, if you want to save your lives, you must abandon the darkness and turn to the light." After the words fell, everyone's expressions changed, and they were different.  , although some people moved, but no one said anything.  Firstly, they don¡¯t want to get a bad reputation as a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Secondly, they are afraid that this is a temptation and no one wants to be the one who stands out.  "Don't listen to this thief's monstrous words to deceive the public!" There was actually a stubborn donkey who was not afraid of death. He stretched out his head to receive the shot, shouted with a red face and thick neck: "King Dongjing is treasonous and unethical, and he plans to usurp the throne. Everyone will kill him."  , Why are you abandoning the secret and turning to the bright? I think you are clearly trying to trap me, which is tantamount to disloyalty and unrighteousness. I, Chai, would rather die than give in. If you have the ability, kill me. I will never be a lackey for you group of Yan thieves! " Xue Rui looked at me seriously!  This person asked him: "Aren't you afraid of death?" The man raised his neck and said, "Why are you afraid!" "So brave."  After two harsh words, Xue Rui waved his hand gently and gave the order: "Pull him out and behead him for public display." Then, everyone saw that Chai, who had looked so righteous just now, had his neck choked by soldiers and was struggling.  No, he was dragged out like a dead dog, just outside the court door. He raised the knife and dropped it, blood spurted out like a pillar, the fresh head rolled to the ground, and the remaining half of the body twitched twice and then became motionless.  This scene happened so fast that no one had time to react. The officials standing near the door were sprayed with blood on their faces. They fell to the ground, shaking like chaff, and looked at the helpless body on the ground.  The dead bodies seemed to have seen their own death. Some of them even beat their chests and vomited on the spot, vomiting out a pool of filth, and a strong fishy smell filled the air.  "Who else is willing to die? You can stand up now and I will help him." Xue Rui didn't even frown and glanced at everyone in the hall coldly.  There was dead silence, no sound. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If of were were, before, thinking that the King of Yan would not drive out all of them, and was determined to be a hero, then after witnessing the beheading of his colleagues, any courage in their hearts disappeared in an instant, and only fear remained.  Who wants to die when there is a way to survive?  "Is there no one left?" Xue Rui asked again. Seeing that they recognized each other, he nodded with satisfaction and said to himself: "That's right. Don't think too highly of yourself. There are only a few more of you in this world.  If you die like this, you will not be recorded in the history books. What is loyalty and what is disloyalty? Learn from your great commander Si Tianjian. You can not only save your life but also endure the humiliation.  The king also admires it. To show off your words here is not loyalty, it is stupidity." Having been frightened, Xue Rui said everything he needed to say without wasting any time and gave the final ultimatum -  "I will let you go home for now, and think about it carefully. After three days, whoever thinks it through will write a self-recommendation letter and submit it to this prince's palace." Sometimes hell, sometimes heaven, this group of An Dynasty officials were first frightened.  Courageous, everyone was stunned when they heard Prince Yan said that he would let them go home. It wasn't until a soldier came forward to open their shackles that they realized that he really wanted to let them go home.  Thank God, my life was saved!   "Dare, dare I ask the prince to show me where in the house?" Someone asked bravely.  Xue Rui clicked his fingers and went through several vacant mansions and villas in the capital in his mind, and said suddenly: "I will temporarily live in Dingbo Pavilion." Dingbo Pavilion has a unique construction style and is known as the first villa in Anling.  The reputation of the courtyard was originally a house given to King Xiang by Emperor Zhaoqing. Later, Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne. King Xiang was caught trying to rebel, and ended up committing suicide in prison. Everyone died, and the family property was naturally confiscated. Chongzhen  The emperor was jealous of this garden and was not willing to give it to anyone else, so the Dingbo Pavilion has remained empty until now.  Xue Rui vaguely remembered that Yu Shu had praised the exquisite garden.  After letting the first group of people go, Xue Rui then met with the remaining two groups of officials.  Most of his second group of people were his old friends, who had some connections with each other. For example, Guo Huaian, the minister of Dali Temple, was his boss and had family connections with the Xue family. He had to leave a way for them to survive.  You can't force him to death in one breath.  Since we are old friends, how can we not recognize him when we meet him? Even though his appearance has changed a little, someone still calls out Xue Rui's name, looking in disbelief.  However, Xue Rui made up his mind not to recognize each other, and his expression remained motionless: "My name is Liu Shining. I will change my name or surname, but I don't know who the Xue Rui you are talking about is. I think he looks very similar to my face.  " Guo Huaian was standing underneath, not more than ten feet away from him. He clearly recognized that it was Xue Rui. His heart suddenly stirred up a storm. Hearing his denial, he didn't believe it. He couldn't help but say: "The Xue family are relatives of the emperor.  , A few years ago, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to Ningdong City to investigate. It was found that the eldest son of the Xue family, who had disappeared long ago, had become the guest of King Dongjing. Therefore, the whole family was implicated. Didn¡¯t you hear what Guo Huaian said?  There is an overtone, and it is obviously blaming Xue Rui. He is the culprit of the Xue family's misfortune.  Xue Rui said calmly: "I have never met the young master of the Xue family. Indeed, many people mistook me for him. I think the imperial envoy back then was also dazzled and mistook Li Kui for Li Gui." In his heart,  Like a clear mirror, one or two words from others can shake one's mind.  When Si Tianjian chose Liu Tan to succeed him, he would definitely not let a relative of the Xue family become bigger. Moreover, Xue Lingnan secretly colluded with King Xiang. Even without him, the Xue family was destined to fall.  Fortunately, Yu Shu worked for him and saved the lives of his mother and sister. This was the best result.  Guo Huaian sighed secretly, knowing that Xue Rui would not admit his identity, so he stopped pestering him.  Xue Lingnan is already dead, so what's the use of arguing about these disputes.  "It turns out that I admitted my mistake. Upon closer inspection, the prince is somewhat different from the eldest son of the Xue family." Guo Huaian was Xue Rui's former boss. Even he said that he had admitted his mistake. Even if others had doubts, they would swallow it.  Back in the stomach.  Xue Rui cleared his throat and got back to business, talking about recruitment.  This time, no one jumped out to be a hero and cursed the Yan thief, but this group of people was obviously tougher than the group just now. Even if they were afraid of death, they would not show it on their faces.  Among them, Guo Huai'an is the most virtuous and respected. He was the first to express his position: "Guo is already old and has already intended to retire. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve your country. Please be especially kind and let me return to my hometown for my retirement." Xue Rui  This time, instead of shouting to kill him, he tried to persuade him to stay. Guo Huaian refused and did not force anyone to do anything. He said, "That's good. You all go home today and think about whether to stay or not. I will wait for good news."  ¡± After saying that, he let him go.  The last group of people, there are only a few, they are either relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials.  Duke Jingguo and Bo Zhongyong were prominently among them, as were several upstarts who had been promoted during the Chongzhen period. They had only enjoyed glory and wealth for two years before becoming prisoners.  The reason why they were left at the end was because Xue Rui had no intention of appeasing them.  Duke Jingguo and Uncle Zhongyong both looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw him, but no one dared to ask.  Xue Rui started with the same two lines of "Succeeding as a king, losing as a bandit, destiny will return to you", and then he said something directly - "Originally, you were all destined to die, but when this dynasty was first established, it is not appropriate to commit too many crimes. Now  I will give you a chance to go back to prison and write a statement of guilt for each of you, and list your past crimes. After the emperor approves, you will be released. "Xue Rui really doesn't want to kill everyone, but he won't give it.  This group of people left a way out, and a confession of guilt cut off all their thoughts.  It is their choice to live or die.  Two groups of people were released in front, and the remaining ones were put back into the prison.  This is also a comparison for those who are lucky enough to go home, so that they can understand their situation.  After solving this important matter, Xue Rui returned to the palace and mentioned the other courtyard in front of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was very confident about him and did not ask about the details of the recruitment. With a wave of his hand, the decision was made.  Boguan gave it to him.    Finally, he asked Xue Rui: "How did I hear that you took Dati Dian from the previous dynasty abducted to your camp? I also heard that Dati Dian was a beautiful woman, second brother, second brother  , tell me honestly, what is going on?" When Xue Rui heard this, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, with a solemn expression on his face: "Rong Chen, please tell me." Emperor Yan was frightened by him and said quickly.  "Get up and speak. I don't blame you for anything."  Let me tell you that I and the Datidian Yu family have made a private decision five years ago." Xue Rui looked firmly at the king of the country in front of him and begged: "I don't seek glory and wealth, but.  I beg you to please me for your contribution to the founding of the country, so that this marriage can be fulfilled." The implication is that he does not need to be the king of Changping in Great Yan, and he does not need to have the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people, as long as he has that woman.  Emperor Yan's eyes changed, he frowned, and asked him with a cold face: "It's just a woman, is it worth it?" "I have decided." Emperor Yan stared at him, suddenly laughed, and raised his hand to signal him: "Get up  Okay, I'm sure. You and I are called monarchs, and we are actually brothers. Don't say that you like a minister from the previous dynasty, even if you like a concubine from the previous dynasty, I will make your wish come true." "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness.  "Xue Rui kowtowed his thanks and stood up happily.  Emperor Yan said with a smile: "When the imperial master comes to Beijing, I will make the decision to marry you." Liu Yan, the imperial master of Yan, is Yunhua.  Xue Rui got what he wanted and left briskly.  I couldn't see the intriguing look in Emperor Yan's eyes when he looked at his back.  "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. With my second brother's temperament, I can feel at ease," Emperor Yan said to himself. As soon as his thoughts changed, he suddenly remembered something. He raised his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about that girl Hua Lan.  This is bad. If she finds out that Shi Ning wants to marry someone else, the girl will be in trouble!¡± r1152?¡­
