Chapter 300 Qin Wu establishes his power
Half an hour later.
Qin Wu put down a memorial in his hand.
"Have you finished admiring them?"
Qin Wu's calm voice rang out.
"Your Highness, the gifts have been given, and the people are now waiting outside the Imperial Study."
Liu Feng answered respectfully.
"Let them in!"
Qin Wu nodded and gave the order.
He no longer wanted to read the memorials.
He grew angrier the more he read these memorials.
"Yes."
Liu Feng accepted the order and went out. A moment later, he led several people into the Imperial Study.
As soon as they entered, they felt the chill in the Imperial Study and looked in the direction from which the chill was emanating.
Then I saw Qin Wu's cold expression.
Their hearts skipped a beat, and they all jumped into their throats.
Although this was their first time meeting the Divine Martial King, the legend of the Divine Martial King had never ceased in Qin.
I know this person is ruthless.
They started to wonder again who had offended this person.
However, these men were all people who had seen a lot, and they came to Qin Wu's front to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Divine Martial King."
Just as the men knelt down, stacks of memorials were thrown at them.
"Gentlemen, give me an explanation. What's the meaning of these memorials?"
"If you can't explain it, your entire family will be extinct today."
After smashing it, Qin Wu said coldly, his words filled with murderous intent.
He was clearly not joking.
The group was terrified after hearing Qin Wu's words.
The group quickly picked up the memorial from the ground, opened it, and took a look.
The men's faces turned extremely grim; they hadn't expected the contents of the memorial to be like this.
It was all nonsense, not a single sentence of substance. Many of the messages were even greetings to His Majesty, or about what he ate that day, or the weather...
He would read one memorial after another, toss it aside, and then pick up the next one.
After the men stopped picking up the memorials, Qin Wu finally spoke up: "Well, have you all seen them clearly? Now give me an explanation! Why were these memorials sent to the Imperial Study?"
"Is my Eastern Qin Kingdom peaceful and prosperous, or is everything in Eastern Qin completely alright?"
"Does His Majesty need their concern for his well-being? Do you think the Imperial Kitchen and the Imperial Hospital are useless and incapable of taking good care of His Majesty?"
Qin Wu's questions were cold and detached.
Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of several people.
They never expected that the contents of these memorials, which the Emperor of Eastern Qin had never questioned before, would be questioned by the Divine Martial King today.
They hadn't paid any attention to the memorials because the Emperor of Eastern Qin hadn't inquired about them beforehand; they had only glanced at them briefly before sending them over.
"Explain it."
Seeing that the others remained silent and stood there in a daze, Qin Wu spoke up again.
However, it was clear that his patience was dwindling.
"Your Highness, in the past these memorials were sent directly to the Imperial Study."
The Left Prime Minister's explanation was somewhat stuttering.
"Sent directly? If I remember correctly, memorials need to be screened by you few before they are sent!"
"Aren't these memorials also included in the selection process?"
Qin Wu looked at the Left Prime Minister with murderous intent in his eyes.
"this..."
The Left Prime Minister didn't know how to explain it.
"Drag him out and kill him, along with his entire family."
Qin Wu didn't want to waste words and gave the order directly.
Immediately, two imperial guards stepped forward and escorted the Left Chancellor outside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you cannot kill me! I am the Left Prime Minister of the current court!"
The Left Prime Minister shouted in frustration.
"Shut him up, tear him apart by five horses, and notify all court officials to witness the execution."
Qin Wu impatiently gave the order again.
Without any hesitation, the guards produced a rag from somewhere, gagged the Left Prime Minister, and dragged him away.
The Right Chancellor and his men were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
They didn't expect that the Divine Martial King was even more ruthless than rumored. He could exterminate nine generations of a family without hesitation, regardless of who it was!
They used to doubt those rumors, but now they believe them.
They also know that what is rumored is not as real as what they have seen.
The group knelt on the ground, somewhat trembling with fear.
"Does the Right Chancellor have anything to explain?"
Qin Wu looked at the Right Chancellor.
"Your Highness, this is indeed our dereliction of duty. Please give us a chance to make amends."
The Right Chancellor was very clever. Without explaining, he directly admitted his mistake. He knew very well that if they didn't admit their mistake now, they would probably suffer the same fate as the Left Chancellor.
"Oh? Not going to explain? Just admit your mistake."
Qin Wu looked at the Right Chancellor with great interest.
That's a smart person; knowing that explanations are useless, he simply admitted his mistake.
"It is our fault, Your Highness, please punish us."
The Right Chancellor continued to admit his mistakes.
He dared not argue, for if he did, he might anger this killing god and lose his life.
"You guys?"
Qin Wu looked at the six ministers.
"We know we were wrong, Your Highness, please punish us."
The six men quickly admitted their mistakes; none of them were fools to have climbed to their current positions.
The Right Chancellor has already admitted his mistake; if they dare to argue, they're probably not far from death.
"Ha, you admit your mistakes so quickly!"
"Then each of you will receive fifty lashes, this is a one-time thing. If it happens again, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
Qin Wu said coldly.
He killed the Left Chancellor merely to establish his authority; it was impossible for him to kill all of them.
If that's the case, the imperial court is likely to descend into chaos.
Now that their authority has been established, a little punishment will suffice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The group quickly expressed their gratitude.
"The Left Prime Minister is dead. You few can divide up his affairs first, and I will hand them over to the right person once I find a suitable one."
"Also, notify us of tomorrow's morning court session. After the court session, send all memorials directly to the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion. If any more of these useless memorials are sent, you should know the consequences."
"Get down there and receive your punishment."
After Qin Wu finished speaking coldly, he dismissed the group.
Although he hadn't assessed their abilities, he already had a good idea of their capabilities after the demonstration of his authority.
There's no need to waste any more time.
All of them are capable people. Even if they are not quite capable, it doesn't matter. We can observe them later.
If they don't meet his requirements, he'll replace them all.
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Upon hearing Qin Wu tell them to step back, the group quickly bowed and hurried outside.
The speed was as if a dog was chasing you.
After leaving the Imperial Study, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure from this Divine Martial King was immense; they had never felt such pressure even in front of the Eastern Qin Emperor.
The methods of the Divine Martial King, in particular, were truly ruthless.
After they came out, none of them spoke. They went directly to receive their punishment, and after receiving their punishment, they were carried back to the mansion.
Everything that happened in the palace was immediately reported to the outside world.
Those from various prefectures who had been watching outside the palace were all shocked upon receiving the news.
They did not expect that the newly appointed regent King Shenwu would immediately execute the Left Chancellor's entire clan.
This method is truly ruthless.
