"Presumptuous, Mr. Zuo, are you talking to the emperor, Zi Yiwei took it down." The queen was furious, stood up and yelled.

Suddenly, the woman in purple appeared next to Mr. Zuo silently, and before everyone could react, she restrained Mr. Zuo with one move, pressed her left hand to the back of her head, pressed her face to the ground, and clasped his hand with her right hand.

Lord Zuo screamed twice in pain, and shouted dissatisfied: "Queen, what are you doing for this deposed emperor? Don't forget, you are from the Shangguan family. If it weren't for that mysterious master wearing the mask of the great ancestor, This Qianyuan Empire has long since ceased to belong to the Zhou family."

The queen's face changed with anger, and she glanced at Zhou An, who had the same expression in her eyes, and shouted cruelly: "It's just the opposite, cut it off."

When Zi Yiwei heard this word, he clasped the back of Mr. Zuo's neck with his left hand, and only heard the sound of a bone breaking. Mr. Zuo's neck was broken, and his eyes widened with disbelief.

Zhou An smiled. It would be better if he came to kill the people from the right minister's faction. It would be better if the queen personally ordered it to deter the right minister's faction.

Of course, Zhou An would not be blamed for the queen's own order. What he wanted was for Shangguan Rong to be his own queen, not the daughter of Shangguan's family.

Mr. Zuo is a member of the Shangguan family faction, and he never expected that Shangguan Rong would kill him in the court.

"Impossible..." The ministers of the right-wing faction exclaimed, but when they shouted out, people had already been killed.

Master You, who was second only to the position of Prime Minister on the Right, said angrily: "Empress, you are really confused, Master Zuo..."

"Shouldn't such rebels deserve to die? Or are the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty already rebels?" Zhou An stood up and stepped off the dragon chair.

"The emperor pays attention to your words and deeds, some words should not be said carelessly, otherwise, hum." Several high-ranking ministers all shouted angrily.

Zhou An ignored them and asked, "Zi Yiwei, what is the origin of this rebellion?"

Zi Yiwei saluted and said: "My Majesty, this thief is the second son of the Zuo family, the largest family in Pingyang County, Ganzhou, and all the officials there are from the Zuo family, and if not, they must be closely related to the Zuo family." .

Moreover, nine of the gangs are managed by the Zuo family, and they also have some contacts with some sects of cultivating immortals. There are many diners in the sect who are loose cultivators in the world, and even evil ways. "

"Lingsha." Zhou An called out.

"Your subordinate is here." A voice came from outside the hall, and then 365 flying knives flew in from the outside, flying above the court hall, purposely whistling past the ears of these ministers. The speed and power scared all the ministers. Dare to move, afraid of being cut by a flying knife.

Then Zhou Lingsha flew in, landed in front of Zhou An and knelt down on one knee to salute, at the same time 365 flying knives flew back, forming a pair of knife wings on her back, folded and shrunk on her back.

Seeing Zhou Lingsha's domineering appearance, Manchu Wenwu was shocked into a cold sweat. This ability already shows that Zhou Lingsha is already a congenital monk, otherwise how could an acquired warrior be able to control treasures so easily.

The minister who was full of resentment just now, the resentment in his heart disappeared instantly, and instead felt a chill down his back.

"Thoroughly investigate the Zuo family. If there is any violation, we will deal with it severely. If there is any resistance, the three clans will be wiped out." Zhou An said.

"Leadership." Zhou Lingsha got up and was about to fly out.

"Wait a minute." Master You hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not, the Zuo family has contributed to the founding of the country, so I am afraid that such actions are too much, and I am afraid they will be cast aside by the people of the world."

Zhou An snorted and looked at the young ministers below and asked: "People in the world cast aside, or people in the world cheer?"

Zhou An's scolding made everyone present dare not answer. Of course, these ministers knew in their hearts that they didn't know what Zhou An wanted to do and how far they could go.

Zhou An sneered, looked at the young minister and asked, "Tell me."

"Naturally, it is the good news for the people of Pingyang County. The Zuo family is like an emperor in Pingyang County. Whether it is Jianghu sect or officialdom, it is their Zuo family who have the final say.

In Pingyang County, whether it is an official or a businessman, the consent of the Zuo family is required, and a huge tax is charged, which is double the national tax. The people at the bottom can barely eat a meal, let alone raise children. There is no day to stand up.

Only the generation of Xianxia can make them afraid, but Xianxia will almost only go to subdue demons and kill demons, and will not take care of these things. "The young minister said these words aloud.

Listening to the ears of the surrounding ministers, they felt like sitting on pins and needles, and all of them broke out in cold sweat. Obviously, the families behind these ministers were all in the same situation.

Zhou An scanned the ministers and asked, "Is what he said true?"

The ministers next to him all lowered their heads and dared not look at it. They can tell this kind of thing by looking at it for themselves, and they can't even cover it up.

Master You said again: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taizu gave the Zuo family special privileges, and they appointed the officials of Pingyang County."

Zhou An looked at Master You and asked: "Did you say that you allowed the Zuo family to poison my people? Did you say that you allowed the Zuo family to have no imperial power?"

"Master Zuo offended the emperor, and he has already been punished as he should. As for poisoning the people, this matter may be exaggerated." Lord You said again.

Zhou An smiled and waved his hands and said: "Lingsha, did you hear that, go and collect evidence, let Master You and the officials in the court see if it is exaggerated."

"Yes." Zhou Lingsha spread her blade wings behind her back, flapped her wings and flew out of the court in a blink of an eye.

Now many people are sweating profusely, fearing that the fire will burn themselves. They never imagined that Zhou Lingsha would have such power. If they encounter such a blow, they may not be able to react in time .

Although those followers are all monks, they are not always in the mansion.

Zhou An walked up to the last young minister and asked, "What's your name?"

"My humble minister Cai Xianfa." The young man clasped his fists and said.

"Do you think you have the ability to take over the position of the traitor?" Zhou An asked.

Cai Xianfa said in a loud voice, "I am confident that I have the ability to do well, but I don't have enough prestige, my background is not deep, no one will listen to me, no matter how capable I am, there is nothing I can do."

"Hahaha, from now on, you will take over the vacant seat of the traitor. If someone violates the law, report to the queen. At that time, Jin Yiwei will invite them to drink tea and talk about how to be an official. If anyone defends , I will handle it myself," Zhou An said loudly.

"This humble minister obeys the decree and will never fail the emperor's expectations." Cai Xianfa's eyes were shining brightly, and his excited hands were trembling a little.

This time, none of the ministers dared to object, especially the members of the Shangguan family, all of them bowed their heads helplessly. Lord Zuo holds a very high position. This time, it means that an important position in their faction has been poached.

Zhou An sat back on the dragon chair, looked at the queen and nodded.

The queen immediately said: "Lord Cai, you are in charge of the reform of the scientific examination. If someone refuses to accept it and obstructs it, you can cut it first and then play it."

"Queen!" The ministers exclaimed, just now Zhou Anliwei, plus he is the emperor, and Zhou Lingsha is a congenital monk, they can bear it once.

But this scientific research is hurting the family interests of all important ministers, they have to speak up, otherwise they will be dealt with by the family members when they go back.

Shangguan Ronghao stood up and said firmly: "Scientific research is related to the future of the country. There is no need to discuss it again. Whoever dares to object to this matter will be demoted to three ranks."

At this time, the dozen or so ministers in front looked at each other the same way, then knelt down and said in unison: "The scientific examination cannot be changed. If the queen must change it, I will resign from the official position."

The queen showed anger and wanted to persuade, Zhou An continued: "All right, take off your official robe and leave."

These ministers were surprised and angry. Without them, the court would cease to function and all work would be impossible.

You must know that once the ministers here leave, the emperor will not be able to convey his will, which means that the national organization and the emperor are disconnected.

Zhou An said flatly: "Promote a group of people from below to temporarily replace the resigned ministers, and announce to the world to recruit talented people, regardless of their background, the queen will be checked by you personally."

Zhou An then glanced at the other ministers and asked: "Who else wants to resign, I will approve them all today."

Under the attention of those ministers, all the officials who followed them came out and asked to resign. Zhou An really approved all of them, and the queen was sweating. Institutions are coming to a standstill.

Zhou An said with a smile: "Even though the Queen can choose a truly talented person with peace of mind, I will let Zi Yiwei personally supervise the promotion of new officials in all departments.

Jin Yiwei will investigate the resigned officials and the families behind them. If there is any violation of the national law, it will be investigated immediately. If there is any resistance, I will let Wan Yaowang and Baihua Empress deal with it personally. "

These ministers had just taken off their official robes and were about to leave with hatred, when they all turned pale with fright when they heard these words. A resigned minister said with a look of disbelief: "The Wan Yao King and Bai Hua Empress were brought by Emperor Taizu, how could they obey the orders of your mere deposed emperor?"

Zhou An laughed loudly, looked outside and shouted: "Lord Right Prime Minister, no, it's the Emperor Taizu, and you brought the Wan Yao King and my Empress Bai Hua?"

Hearing this, all the officials were shocked, and even the queen stood up straight in shock, staring at the door with wide eyes.
