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. .\nUpdated fastest. He did not waste time to persuade 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 of those who had thought that the Lord of the King of Yan would not drive them all away, and was determined to be a hero, then after witnessing the beheading of his colleagues, the 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. You are not too much in this world. If you die like this, you will not be remembered in the history books. What is loyalty and what is disloyal? Learn from your Si Tianjian Dati, who can not only fight to save people, but also endure humiliation. I admire you. To show off your words here is not loyalty, it is stupidity." After being frightened, Xue Rui didn't waste any time and issued an ultimatum - "For now. I'll let you go home and think about it carefully. After three days, whoever thinks it through will write a self-recommendation letter and submit it to the prince's palace." "For a moment, it was hell, and for a moment, it was heaven. This group of officials from the An Dynasty were first frightened, and then again. Hearing that Prince Yan was going to let them go home, everyone was stunned. 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 you ask your lord to show me where you are in your house? Someone asked bravely. " Dingbo Pavilion has a unique construction style and is known as the No. 1 villa in Anling. It 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 he committed suicide in prison. As a result, everyone died, and the family property was naturally confiscated. Emperor Chongzhen was jealous of the garden and was not willing to give it to anyone else, so the Dingbo Pavilion remained empty until now. Xue Rui vaguely remembered that Yu Shu 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 them were his old friends, such as Guo Huai'an, the minister of Dali Temple, who was originally his. The boss also has a family relationship with the Xue family. He has to leave a way for others to survive. He cannot be killed in one breath. Since he is an old person, it is impossible to recognize him when he meets him. Even though his appearance has changed, someone still calls out Xue Rui's name. Xue Rui looked in disbelief, but he made up his mind not to recognize each other, and his expression remained motionless: "My name is Liu Shining. I don't want to change my name or my surname. I don't know who the Xue Rui you are talking about is. I think he has the same face as this king." Look very similar. " 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. Haven't you heard? " There was an overtone in Guo Huaian's words. He was clearly blaming Xue Rui. He was the culprit for the Xue family's misfortune. Recognizing him, the imperial envoy must have been dazzled and mistook Li Kui for Li Gui. " He was like a mirror in his heart. How could someone else shake his mind with just one or two words? When Si Tianjian chose Liu Tan to succeed him, he would definitely not let a relative of the Xue family become bigger. What's more, 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. Guo Huaian sighed secretly, knowing that Xue Rui was. He would not admit his identity, so he stopped arguing. "Xue Lingnan is dead, so what's the point of arguing about it? "It turns out that I made a mistake, but 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 admitted his mistake. Even if others had doubts, they swallowed it back. Xue Rui cleared his throat and got back to business. This time, there was no such thing. People jumped out to act like heroes and cursed the Yan thieves, 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 was the most respected, and he was the first to express his stance: "Guo Huai'an." I am very old and have already planned to retire. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve your country. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be extra kind and allow me to return to my hometown for my retirement. " This time Xue Rui did not shout to kill, but instead made a request to stay. Guo Huai'an refused, and he did not force anyone to make things difficult. He said: "That's good. You all go home today and think about whether to stay or not. I, Wang Jing, Good news. "After that, they let people go. "The last group of people, there were only a few, either relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials. The Duke of Jingguo and Uncle Zhongyong were among them, and there were a few upstarts promoted during the Chongzhen period who did not enjoy the privileges. After two years of prosperity and wealth, they became prisoners because Xue Rui had no intention of appeasing him. When Duke Jing and Zhong Yong saw him, they both looked like they had seen a ghost, but no one dared to ask Xue Rui. It¡¯s still the same two lines of ¡°Winning a king or losing a bandit, it¡¯s destiny¡±, and then there are some straightforward words - ¡°Originally, you are all destined to die, but since this dynasty has just been established, it is not appropriate to commit too many crimes, so now I will give you a Opportunity, return to prison, each person writes a confession of guilt and lists the mistakes of the previous government. After the emperor approves it, you will be let out. " Call people, put the remaining ones back in jail. This is also to make a comparison for those who are lucky enough to go home, so that they can understand their situation. Emperor Yan mentioned the other courtyard to him. Emperor Yan was very at ease with him and did not ask about the details of the recruitment. He gave the Dingbo Pavilion to him with a wave of his hand. Finally, he asked about Xue Rui: "Why do I hear that you took Dati from the previous dynasty abducted to your camp, and I heard that Dati 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 down on the ground, with a solemn expression on his face: "Rong Chen reports. " Emperor Yan was frightened by him and said quickly: "I don't blame you for anything. " " "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that I and the Datiyu family had 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 ask for glory and wealth, but I ask that the king will consider my contribution to the founding of the country and complete this marriage. "The implication is that he doesn't need to be King Changping of Yan, or that he doesn't need to be 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 person. Woman, is it worth it? " "My will has been decided. " Emperor Yan stared at him, suddenly laughed, and raised his hand to signal him: "Get up, I'm ready. You and I are called monarchs and ministers, but we are actually brothers. If 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 the Lord for your kindness. " Xue Rui kowtowed and thanked him, and stood up happily. Emperor Yan smiled and said: "When the Imperial Master comes to Beijing, I will make the decision to marry you. "Liu Yan, the Imperial Preceptor of Great Yan, is Yunhua. Xue Rui got what he wanted and left briskly. He 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, and the second brother is like this. Regarding my character, I can feel at ease," Emperor Yan said to himself. As soon as his thoughts changed, he suddenly remembered something. He put his hand on his forehead and said: "I almost forgot about that girl Hua Lan. This is bad. If she knows about it, If Shining wants to marry her, that girl will be in trouble! "r115
