The list continues to read, not only are there ministers, but also their staff, close friends and loyal servants.

Not all of them will be executed. A group of people will be executed. The charges are used to subvert the country and play with the master. How can people not be executed? But most people are only dismissed from office, and a few will be punished by slaughter. Many people will be released and returned home after being sentenced to resignation. []

More people are just taking them back to Luoyang and making a personal certificate.

Not only this list, but many people were involved in Luoyang, including eunuchs and palace maids in the inner palace, and officials from various places. However, none of the confidants brought by Wu Zetian were among them. This was the original agreement.

After reading the list, a large number of people were begging for mercy one by one in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei suddenly became furious and shouted: "Liu Qun, bring the poems you have just written."

"Um."

After a while, a large number of poems came over, all of which were flattering. Li Wei continued to shout: "Everyone, you have all grown up reading the books of sages. Many people returned to the Jinshi exam for their knowledge and valued themselves as their own officials. The country has also taken out a lot of money and silk to squander you. The people endured humiliation and paid several taxes every year, regardless of their hunger, to support you. But what have you done? How many people care about the country, the king and the people? I have said many times that they should use their ministers directly, but you will continue to try to put down your face and go into the toilet, pour ink on your father's ancestors, and their conscience ate the mouths of ugly beasts and birds. They continue to use flattery to make progress and flattery to confuse the king. What are they all? Burn, burn!"

Many ministers cursed each other, which was too cruel. In fact, there were many ministers who wrote very pertinently. Besides, the success of Xinqu is not for the people, which is a beautiful thing.

Do we have to find out any shortcomings?

However, this time the involvement is very wide, and there are many reasons.

Wu Zetian has been in the court for many years, and many ministers have been distorted

Not all traitors, some capable ministers also secretly help.

For example, Liu Yizhi and others. However, they never expected that Wu Zetian would go too far step by step and actually wanted to build a seven-museum. If you are at ease, you can be a powerful empress dowager. If you have the power, we can also explain to the people of the world and history books. Is it okay? Li Wei is also worried about these people.

The so-called witness, when you go back to Luoyang to ask, you will actually be dismissed from office and fade out of politics. Regardless of whether they have any guilt or not.

In order to win people's hearts, Wu Zetian offered rewards. Although there are too many officials, there have been redundant officials. Many officials have burdened heavy burdens and does not help the government affairs. Governing the country requires huge officials, otherwise it will not be governed. But if there are many officials, what are the benefits of refusing responsibilities or overlapping powers?

Before coming, I was afraid that Xu Yougong would not be able to think so, so I summoned him into the Eastern Palace and explained to him that you would be fair in the case and convicted of the crime. However, some officials asked me to deal with it, and it happened to use this case to cut off a large number of officials.

The last reason is more important.

Masculinity.

The powerful Tang Dynasty needed a masculinity and an enterprising spirit, and ministers needed to be both virtuous and brave enough to dare to speak out in the court. Once this spirit is lost, if Li Linfu's gloomy person like the ruler, then without the Anshi Rebellion, the country will soon decline.

The mother not only feminized the official title, but also suppressed this spirit with tyrannical means. It was very effective. In just over a year, most officials lost their integrity and became like slap in the face. Since the mother could use tyrannical means to make officials fall, she could also use tyrannical means to make officials sober.

Liu Qun burned the papers with his tongue of flame.

In the bloody dusk, the officials who were beneath retreated.

Li Wei waved his sleeve and retreated.

However, someone followed behind him and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have a advice."

Li Wei turned his head and saw that it was Song Jing. He also opposed Li Wei's behavior, but His Majesty was so nice to him that he was embarrassed to say it in front of everyone. Besides, he was vaguely involved in everything that had happened in the past few years, and he couldn't hold on to the importance of it.

"you say."

"Your Majesty, many people have died in the past year."

"Um."

"Your Majesty once arrived in the Eastern Capital, many people were in panic all day long, just because they were afraid that more people would die. Your Majesty quickly went from chaos to rule, and the country immediately entered a stable state. Today, Your Majesty recounted the matter again. What's the difference between such a big change and a year ago?"

"Song Qing, do you know how many people have died in the past year? From the people who were bewitched by Xu Jingye in Jiangnan, to the officials, people and soldiers in the two capitals."

"With this chastity, Your Majesty should repay him with virtue. He will use killing to control his killing and his ministers' opinions, which will never be the king's way."

"Song Qing, your idea is good. It's dangerous halfway. Why didn't I deal with it in the east, but I dealt with it halfway? Go and talk to Wei Qing, or you can understand my painstaking efforts." The son did not say that his mother was evil, so it was hard to say it out.

There are mothers in the east, and there are many officials who have turned against each other. If they are dealt with in the east, it may lead to some change. No one should underestimate their mother's abilities. Therefore, on the way, there are 10,000 soldiers from Qinghai around him to protect the safety. They are only officials and a small number of slaves from the inner palace, family members and envoys. The envoys do not need to be considered, and a small number of slaves from the inner palace are not considered, and the officials are what they want to deal with.

Instead, it was revealed halfway through the road.

No matter what the reason is, as my mother's confidant, can we keep these people from the court to the local area in the future?

He also said, "I have left Xu Yougong behind. If you talk about lenient and peacefulness, none of you can match it."

Send Song Jing and retreat.

Continue west all the way.

But because of the Luoyang incident, all the officials were filled with a rock. But because of Song Jing's persuasion, Li Wei finally felt soft.

Not much knife was used, and some other relatives such as Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were sentenced to death and punishment. Other relatives were finally let go, not all of them, nor were they demoted. They were completely dismissed, and they were completely dismissed, and they were completely dismissed, and they became civilians. And some people added four big words to never be hired when they were sentenced. Many officials and prison soldiers were sentenced one after another.

There were a small number of people in the inner palace, most of the confidants took them away by Wu Zetian, and not many people were sentenced. However, many eunuchs and palace maids were expelled. Whether it was humane or inhumane, the Luoyang palaces became quiet.

This is especially true for officials, only

A few, such as the God-Sharpened, were sentenced to beheading, while others were also peeled to the end, including the taste of Qian, and became a commoner for a few days.

Li Wei did not make any clear mistakes and abolished the immigrant punishment in the future, which requires a transitional process. The intensity of border governance will gradually increase in the future, and the border cannot be used as a place of exile. In the long run, the border will increase centrifugal force, which is not conducive to the consolidation of border government power.

But a new punishment appeared, which was still a form of labor reform in later generations. Some people were sentenced to death, but they were even more light. There were also some yamen runners and soldiers who were rampant for tigers. They had nothing to do with their fame and fortune, and no matter how they were stripped, it would not hinder them.

Therefore, in the east of Rehai, some places were freed up to flow them to where they were transported to labor reform. In fact, in the past, Emperor Yang of Sui did this when he returned to Qinghai, but the premise was to migrate, not to punish, and many people with minor crimes or innocent people were also involved. Later, Qingming also liked to move some guilty ministers to Liaodong to participate in labor or serve in the military.

Not Li Wei did it thoroughly this time.

But in general, not many people were executed, and every minister sentenced to death had a reason to die.
