When a dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, the atmosphere will naturally slowly favor the literati.

When the Great Jin Dynasty was founded, it was just a partial dynasty, several generations of emperors were bullied by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and during the period of Emperor Wu, the dynasty was still martial, which led to the emergence of fierce men like Li Zhijie and Ye Sheng, and Emperor Wu completely solved the external troubles, whether it was Nanshu or Northern Zhou, they were all wiped out by that generation of monarchs and ministers, but after the unification of the world, Emperor Wu, who was short-tempered and loved martial arts, did not continue to advocate force, but in order to consolidate his rule, he announced that he would share the world with scholars.

It is precisely because of this sentence that many ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty entered the court of the Great Jin Dynasty and did their best for the Great Jin Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu, the Son of Heaven of Chengde recuperated, implemented benevolent governance, abolished some unreasonable harsh policies and rules during the period of Emperor Wu, and pardoned many unjust cases during the period of Emperor Wu, and the subsequent Taikang Dynasty also basically inherited the policy of the Son of Heaven of Chengde, without much change.

That's why Shen Kuan said "the three generations of benevolence in the Great Jin Dynasty".

It is precisely because after the unification of the Great Jin Dynasty that the imperial court is too good to these scholars, after Zhang Quhuan Chu, the virtuous ministers of the Chengde Dynasty, stepped down from the court, Shen Kuan, the descendants of Shangshutai, will be so big that they want to control the government and change the day!

Until now, Shen Kuan still refused to bow his head, and scolded Li Xin as soon as he opened his mouth.

In this era, it is already very disrespectful to call each other by name, let alone expose the other party's shortcomings, Li Xin's old matter of selling charcoal back then, basically no one dares to mention it again since he made his career, and there has never been a person like this who scolds a "charcoal thief" in person.

If it were a person of this era, maybe there would be a violent murder at this time.

But Li Xin didn't care much about this, he half-squinted his eyes, and said indifferently: "It's the first time I've heard someone call me that, Shen Xiang is very creative." ”

has already turned his face, Shen Kuan didn't care too much, and scolded angrily: "You got into the imperial court by clinging to the first emperor, and after you made your career, you even harbored evil intentions, colluded with the southwest anti-thieves, and plotted against you!" Now I actually want to kill my generation, the Great Jin Dynasty has always been kind to the scholars for more than 40 years, you Li Chang'an is a southern barbarian, selling charcoal dealers, do you want to spoil my Great Jin national fortune! ”

"Good scolding."

Mrs. Li stroked his palms and smiled: "I knew that you big-headed scholars had a mouthful of Taifu on your face, and you always looked down on me in your heart, but it happened that I also looked down on you." ”

"In the Chengde Dynasty, Haoran Gong and Huan Xiang are the real scholars, you juniors, you have a big Jin Sheji on your lips, and the one behind your back is not for your own glory and wealth?"

"For the sake of a few phases, you dare to conspire to abolish the emperor, I really did it for you, one day I am tired of doing Zaifu, do you want to abolish the emperor again and sit in that position yourself?"

"I'm a barbarian?"

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled coldly, took out a bright long knife from the waist of Yu Linwei behind him, held it in his hand, slashed it on the wood of the cell, and said coldly: "Do you want to show you, what is real barbarism?" ”

Shen Kuan had already let himself out, and said with his head held high: "Come, you will kill your true appearance now, a hundred years later, you Li Changan will inevitably be scolded by future generations, digging graves and whipping corpses, and leaving a stench for 10,000 years!" ”

This Shangshutai left minister, because of excessive fear in his heart, is already a little hysterical at this time.

He spat in his mouth and cursed at Li Xin: "I'm waiting for the conspiracy to abolish the emperor, and you Li Xin are saints?" You ran back to the capital from Yongzhou with your eyes in your eyes, maybe there is some conspiracy hidden in your heart, you ......"

At this point, he stopped abruptly.

Because a long knife had been inserted into his chest, and before it had entered a few feet, blood gushed out of his chest, and the Zuo Xiang fell to the ground, twitching on the ground, and he couldn't live when he saw it.

The Marquis of Jing'an, who had just finished moving, looked at Shen Kuan coldly, and put his hands into his sleeves again, his face expressionless.

"I still can't see the situation clearly, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

Marquis of Jing'an snorted coldly.

"Lao Tzu killed people at the age of sixteen, and killing you is as simple as killing a chicken."

Shen Kuan twitched on the ground for a while, and then slowly stopped moving, his eyes wide open, and he didn't bat himself.

The face of the Marquis of Jing'an was unwavering.

"You're cheap."

After that, he looked back at the other four people and said indifferently: "Do you want to cooperate with me, or do you want to die in the prison of Dali Temple like Shen Xiang, and then the whole family, the disciples, all die because of him?" ”

Yan Shou was much calmer than Shen Kuan, but seeing Shen Kuan die in front of him, this Yan Sikong couldn't hold on, he glanced at Li Xin with some fear, and after swallowing his saliva, his voice trembled a little.

Li ...... Taifu Li, you killed the auxiliary ministers of the first emperor's last order......"

"So what?"

Li Xin sat back in his chair and said coldly: "I came back to the capital, that's what I did, you are nothing more than bullying Your Majesty for being cowardly, and you don't dare to kill people, now I can take all the responsibility for killing people on my head, Yan Sikong thinks that the laws of the imperial court can fall on my head?" ”

Yan Shouclumsy gritted his teeth, and his whole body trembled slightly.

After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Li ...... Taifu, I don't want to be guilty of this. ”

Li Xin waved his hand behind him and said, "Get some paper and pen for Yan Sikong and the three prime ministers." ”

The cell of Dali Temple is considered luxurious, and there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the cell, and soon a few Yu Linwei handed the paper and pen to the cells of several people.

"Write now."

Li Xin sat back in his chair with an expressionless face: "Although you have been unable to escape death, as long as you confess your henchmen, this official can call the shots, let your respective families have a way to live, and let them go to northern Xinjiang to fill the army." ”

"If you don't cooperate, Shen Kuan will be your fate."

Marquis Jing'an's voice was cold.

"The Shen family will be beheaded all over the house, Shen Kuan's protégés and former officials, none of them can run away, the story of the melon vine copy, you should be more familiar than me."

The vast majority of people who read books are spineless, and when life and death are approaching, these people are easy to bow their heads.

No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring the previous moment was, when the sword and axe were added, few people could hold on, maybe the Haoran Gong Zhang Qu and the subordinate servants in the middle of the house could do it, but now these few people are obviously not good.

Among these four people, some people were even so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, barely picked up the brush in their hands, and they trembled so much that they couldn't write.

Li Xin was not in a hurry, and asked Yu Linwei to clean up Shen Kuan's body, while he himself sat on the chair and closed his eyes and waited quietly.

It was almost afternoon, Yan Shouzhuo finally stopped writing, and each of the four people wrote a long list, and the least one had more than 20 names.

There are both Beijing officials and local officials.

Li Xin asked people to collect all four lists, put them in his sleeve without looking at them, and then looked at these four people with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Now start writing a confession." ”

Yan Sikong gritted his teeth and looked at Li Xin.

"What confession does Mrs. Li want us to write?"

"Naturally, they make friends, conspire to abolish the emperor, harbor evil intentions, and plot misdeeds!"

"And then there's the crimes of each of you, all written down on paper."

The Marquis of Jing'an half-squinted his eyes and smiled without emotion.

"Of course, it's up to you whether you write it or not."
