Although Yan Ze'an was kindhearted, he was still an old fox after all. To be able to sit in the position of prime minister, one must be scheming and have some black spots. Even in the Shang Dynasty, the struggles in the court were also fierce.
What Yan Ze'an said sounded good, but it was also a hidden threat: Boy, if you dare not confess, believe it or not, I will imprison the two of you separately!
Yuan Lin struggled internally for a while, and finally had to lower his head.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Seeing Fang Xiaoxiao's nervous and even frightened face next to him, Yuan Lin had to succumb to reality.
Gently patting Fang Xiaoxiao's pale hand, Yuan Lin took out a jade slip and said in a somewhat decadent tone: "It's all here."
After taking the jade slip and looking at it, Yan Ze'an smiled and instructed a maid next to him: "These two people are still minors. Send them to the hotel next door for temporary placement and treat them well."
After hearing this, Yuan Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then this clever young man rolled his eyes at Yan Ze'an - this old guy is not a good person either, it is true that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him, and meeting him is not as good as not meeting him.
Yan Ze'an just smiled and said nothing. After Yuan Lin left, the news was made public in the court and everyone started discussing it.
Soon, the list was handed over to Wang Shen. Xia Qingqing ordered Wang Shen: "Arrest them all and try them according to the relevant laws. Try them according to our domestic treason laws, etc."
Wang Shen lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Xia Qingqing's somewhat cold eyes. Xia Qingqing had only been in power for a few days, but she had shown a decisive approach far superior to Li Xian's, which made some officials very cautious.
If tried under the Treason Act, I'm afraid the outcome for these people will not be good.
Xia Qingqing then gave the order: "This war ends here. Send people to completely take over Bian State and investigate all problems. Also, there should be a lot of rampant people or hooligans in Bian State. Pull all of these people out and bring them to justice to win the hearts of the people. Also, check the losses of various business groups in Bian State to see if the losses previously submitted by each business group are true. The magic thoughts in Bian State must be suppressed, and any form of magic gatherings are prohibited. In serious areas, all the people need to be expelled. If there is any use of force, suppress it immediately by force. In this war, there are many things in the military that deserve recognition and many that need to be criticized. Please make a summary and put forward suggestions for improvement. The court is dismissed."
After Xia Qingqing left, the ministers began to talk to each other. Compared to when Li Xian was here, everyone was much more careful about what they said. Xia Qingqing put even more pressure on everyone than Li Xian did!
It should be said that Li Xian is respected by everyone, while Xia Qingqing is awe-inspiring.
Finally, Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an, Li Yuanming, Fang Shijing and other pillars of the Shang Dynasty looked at each other and saw a sigh and expectation in each other's eyes: they hope Li Xian will wake up soon.
During these few short days, the Shang Dynasty seemed to have maintained its past prosperity and was thriving; but these old ministers who had witnessed the rise of the Shang Dynasty felt a different kind of crisis.
