Chapter 733
This is the lives of hundreds of ministers. In addition, their relatives, friends, servants and other things, they have to be as many as tens of thousands of people. The Holy Emperor wrote a light imperial edict, but after killing all these people, Wei Qianli not only became infamous among the people, but also became a stinking hated by everyone in the officialdom.
That's right, the murdered ministers will definitely not jump up and cry out for justice, and they can't do anything to him, but who doesn't have many friends? Most of the friends of these ministers are in court. Maybe they dare not do anything to Wei Qianli now, but what about the future?
Just thinking about it, Wei Qianli felt his scalp numb.
Wei Qianli also found that all the names of the imperial edict were hardcore royalists, all loyal to the Holy Emperor. Originally, he should have been among them, but he noticed that he was hooked off with a red pen, and there was definitely only Song Li who could do this.
This made Wei Qianli start to wonder what Song Li’s intention was to do this.
I want to kill these people by myself to show that I have broken up with the Holy Emperor and have no connection. I still hope that after I have done this thing that can offend all the officials, I will kill myself with an imperial edict, so that he can gain the hearts of the people and allegiance of the officials at the same time.
Wei Qianli couldn't figure it out, but he knew that the imperial edict was placed in front of him. No matter whether he accepted or refused, there was no difference in the result.
Just like the blame before, he has to take it or not.
I hope that if I do this, Qian Xun can get more favor from Song Li. Thinking of this, Wei Qianli made up his mind and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to answer the order.
Then Wei Qianli summoned the most trustworthy elite soldiers in his hands and began to take them to search and destroy their families according to the names of the imperial edicts.
Although in the imperial capital, the previous battle between the attack and defense became extremely chaotic, and people were fluctuating, and all kinds of news were spread all over the sky, but the ministers who had truly experienced the great storms focused on the decisive battle between the Holy Emperor and Song Li before the palace.
Because they knew very well that as soon as the result of the decisive battle came out, it was time to reveal their fate. People with good luck and good vision would become successful because they stood in the right position, and on the contrary, they might lose their glory and wealth.
Because of this, almost all the ministers in the court sent their eyes to stare at the palace and passed on the information back from time to time. Until the Holy Emperor failed, it was really a joy and a sad family.
Some of the people who stood in the wrong team have begun to consider retreating, wondering whether to contact their colleagues who had joined Song Xinghai and Song Li early, hoping to ask them to say a few words to save their lives. In this way, the Pang family suddenly became bustling.
Some people also consider whether to clean up the details and send away some unknown children in the family, so as not to be eliminated when the sacrifice is settled.
Some of them simply prepared hanging ropes and poisonous wine, and waited for the searcher to come to commit suicide, and at least they could have a complete body.
Each family has different ideas, but they are all making the worst plans, and at the same time they are trying to find a glimmer of hope.
But no one would have thought that the liquidation would come so quickly and so violently.
No one thought that the imperial edict for killing them did not come from Song Xinghai or Song Li, but from the Holy Emperor who they had always been loyal to. Even Wei Qianli was the one who carried out this imperial edict.
When Wei Qianli led his troops into the door, many once glorious families were killed, and their relatives and friends who were vassalized were also implicated and became dead souls under the sword.
This massacre is absolutely necessary, but under such a massacre, it reveals the indifference, ruthlessness and selfishness in the bones of the Holy Emperor.
Many ministers did not understand until they died that they were loyal and loyal. Why did they get such a result?
Some ministers fully understood before their death that the Holy Emperor's purpose was to exchange their lives for their descendants.
"Repent!" These are two words shouted out before a minister was killed. Every word is crying and every word is so sad and angry.
It was definitely not the first time Wei Qianli and his men killed people, but this time it made them feel heartbroken. There were even many soldiers who had experienced many battles and killed people until they finally killed each other and could not hold the knife.
Even so, what should be done is still something to be done.
Since receiving the order, Wei Qianli's face disappeared. No one knew what he was thinking, and even his confidant guard dared not ask.
Logically speaking, he only needs supervision to raid a family and there is no need to do it himself, but Wei Qianli participated in it. All the ministers on the list of imperial edicts were killed by him.
After hundreds of people who once held high positions killed Wei Qianli, not only was his body covered with blood, but his silver armor was dyed with blood. Even the murderous aura on his body was so heavy that it was terrifying.
When the last person on the list was killed, Wei Qianli collected the imperial edict and ordered his subordinates to clean up the mess. He went to the palace alone to find Song Lijun's imperial edict. At the same time, he was also waiting for Song Li to deal with him.
The experiences of these days have made Wei Qianli, a man who is as strong as iron and copper, feel exhausted and tired. He also hopes to get a break as soon as possible. Whether it is life or death, it is good to end it as soon as possible.
Inside the palace and above the hall, Song Li was sitting in front of a sumptuous banquet. Ning Qianxue, Long Ziyan and others were not accompanied, and there were no eunuchs serving him around, only him was there.
Wei Qianli entered the hall and was stunned when he saw this scene.
When he came, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect that Song Li would welcome his bringing in this way.
"It's over?" Song Li asked.
"It's over." Wei Qianli said, and handed over the imperial edict in his hand.
Song Li took the imperial edict but did not look at it. Instead, he placed it on the table, poured a glass of wine for Wei Qianli with his own hands and said, "I toast you this glass of wine, which is to wash away all your murderous aura."
"Okay." Wei Qianli did not hesitate, nor did he care whether the wine in the glass was poisonous.
For him, there is nothing to be afraid of death, so he is even more lazy to care about it.
Song Li accompanied him to drink a drink, then said, "Please sit down. Speaking of which, we don't have the chance to have a good drink. I know you can't help it, so I won't blame you for this."
Wei Qianli didn't say anything, but just picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Song Li continued: "The Holy Emperor is dead, and I have finished some of the things I should do, and some of them you have done for me, and there is nothing left for me."
"Aren't you going to ascend the throne to the emperor?" Wei Qianli was stunned.
"I don't have this idea for the time being." Song Li shook his head, looked around and said, "Actually, I have never understood what's good about such a broken place. Why do you have to sacrifice your life and have to think about getting here? What can you do if you come in? Beware of this and that every day. It's too tiring, you can do it."
"I'm afraid that you can't help but end up not doing it." Wei Qianli said.
"That's true." Song Li smiled and then said, "But it doesn't matter. I'm still holding my father in front of me now. I'll refine more pills for him to prolong his life and let him live to an older age. He will carry the burden first."
Wei Qianli was stunned. After watching Song Li for a while, he couldn't help laughing.
Originally, he thought that Song Li had rebelled in order to be the emperor, but he didn't expect that now, it was not the case. Judging from his meaning, he was simply hiding as long as he could, and treating being an emperor as a burden. Wei Qianli dared not say that he was the last one, but it was definitely unprecedented.
"I'm telling you all this, there's nothing else. I just hope you can't see Qian Xun being the imperial concubine and blame me." Song Li said with a smile.
"No." Wei Qianli shook his head and said, "Everyone has ambition, it's understandable."
Wei Qianli is willing to chat with Song Li now because Song Li did not act as a lofty winner, and the topics he talked about were casually, as if he was chatting about family matters, which gradually made Wei Qianli feel alert.
What's more, he even thought of death when he came. Now he is just chatting and drinking, so what's the terrible thing about him?
"I'm very happy that you can understand." Song Li nodded, poured another glass of wine for Wei Qianli, and said, "At this time, you and I became opponents, which must be a great torture for Qian Xun. Although she had never asked, and even the letters she gave me had not mentioned pleading for you, but I know she was very worried about you."
Wei Qianli nodded. He and his sister depended on each other since childhood. No matter whether there were minor frictions or not, at the critical moment, they all thought about each other. Thinking of her sister, Wei Qianli felt a warm and a guilty feeling.
"Originally, I have my purpose in siege, and you have your responsibility to defend the city. No matter the outcome, I shouldn't blame you." Song Li took the wine glass and drank it in one sip, then looked at Wei Qianli and said, "But later what you did was a little over."
"I will never complain if you do whatever you want." Wei Qianli stood up and said happily.
"Don't worry, listen to me finish my words." Song Li waved his hand and signaled him to sit down and said, "If I want to punish you, I will not hook your name off. If I kill you with the hand of the Holy Emperor, I believe Qian Xun can't blame me."
Song Li looked at Wei Qianli and said, "I know that order was given by the Holy Emperor, and you are just taking the blame for him, so I will not kill you, but the death penalty is avoided, and the life penalty is hard to spare. From today on, you should not lead the army."
Song Li did this not only to punish Wei Qianli, but also to seize his military power. With him, for the three armies of the imperial capital, it was a banner. If someone incited him slightly, it would be impossible to guarantee that there would be no yellow robe.
It was difficult to kill the Holy Emperor, and Song Li didn't want to fight another battle
