Chapter 422: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn
After Chen Guo learned that Li Changyi was not dead, he was indeed furious, especially when he learned that several families that had surrendered to him in Northern Qi were confiscated and executed by Tang Ran on false charges of treason, which severely damaged the forces arranged by Chen Guo in Northern Qi. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"I underestimated this Tang Ran." The Emperor of Chen Kingdom threw the secret letter on the ground.
Chen State and several other countries are happy to see the current situation in Northern Qi where the emperor is incompetent and treacherous ministers are in power. They also hope that Tang Ran will kill more loyal ministers, but this does not mean that they have to touch their people.
"Brother, do you think Tang Ran has discovered this?"
Gao Han, the Prime Minister of Chen State, frowned in thought. He knew that Tang Ran had always excluded dissidents, and most of the people on his side were known as loyal ministers in Northern Qi, so it was inevitable that they would be hated by him.
He was not sure whether Tang Ran was playing dumb, so he said, "The situation in Northern Qi is very complicated now, even I can't see clearly. How about I write a letter to Zi Mu and ask him to withdraw from Northern Qi."
Luo Zimo is Zhou Wenye. Gao Hanyuan is in Chen Kingdom and has no idea what is happening in Northern Qi now. The news he received is that Prime Minister Tang Ran is becoming more and more rampant and reckless. Not only is he suppressing other ministers, he has even started to openly buy and sell official positions and engage in corruption and bribery.
However, the Northern Qi emperor favored Tang Ran, which caused resentment among the civil and military officials.
Some people also said that the emperor wanted to question Tang Ran several times, but Tang Ran's eloquence and ability to flatter the emperor were unmatched, and he dispelled the old emperor's doubts with just a few words.
Gao Han always felt that something was out of his control, and he felt inexplicably uneasy, as if some conspiracy was brewing.
The Emperor of Chen thought about it and decided to write a letter to Zhou Wenye asking him to come back.
This is the only son of his mentor, and he couldn't just watch Zhou Wenye get into trouble.
"However." Gao Han's eyes turned sinister, and he continued, "We must give Northern Qi a warning anyway, otherwise, in the future, I'm afraid no one will dare to work for the Kingdom of Chen."
Who made Tang Ran charge him with treason?
The person whose house was confiscated: “…”
What bullshit treason.
They were originally from Chen Kingdom and were brought to Northern Qi to be raised when they were young.
Betraying the country is called treason, do you understand? ! !
It was three quarters after noon. The token in Tang Ran's hand fell to the ground. A bright knife flashed and blood splattered as he raised his hand. Heads rolled down one after another, their eyes wide open in death.
They didn't understand how they were exposed.
Tang Ran didn't care what other people thought. Since he was a traitor, when a traitor wanted to kill someone, he would need solid evidence. Isn't that something only loyal ministers would do?
What made him laugh was that although it was the old emperor's idea for him to sit in the position of prime minister, the Chen Kingdom had made a lot of efforts to help him suppress the veterans of the three dynasties and remove many obstacles.
The State of Chen knew the bloodiness of Northern Qi, so it wanted to take the lead in dealing with other countries and use a gentle policy to deal with Northern Qi. After careful selection, it chose itself to take the throne.
They hope to make Northern Qi a chaotic place, so I will do as they wish and deal with the loyal ministers properly.
These families have a large number of people. Except for the important people who were beheaded today, the rest of the elderly, the weak, women and children are still in prison, waiting for the verdict from above.
Apart from the discomfort at first, Tang Ran felt numb by the end. It took him two hours to chop off more than 120 heads. Even several buckets of water were used to wash away the blood on Xingtai.
He was wearing snow-white pajamas, sitting in front of the window, his slender white fingers twisting a page of a book for a long time without turning it. What came to his mind were those names and the scene of heads falling down.
He slowly closed his eyes and dispelled the scene from his mind.
The Prime Minister, who was feared by everyone, now showed a sense of fragility and alienation on his face. The cold wind blew his black hair, making his already pale face look like a ghost, without a trace of blood.
He put down the holy book in his hand and quietly looked at the lonely moon outside the window.
Really boring!
Tang Ran thought to herself that she was disgusted by these endless intrigues and deceptions.
Everyone said that he had changed, and Tang Ran had almost forgotten what he used to look like.
He was also young and frivolous. He started the road to the imperial examination at a young age, singing all the way, full of high spirits, riding horses with the men in the capital. He preferred to watch the setting sun fall on the river at dusk, draw bows to hunt tigers and eagles, and get drunk around the campfire.
At the age of fifteen, he won the third place in the imperial examination, and at the age of fifteen, he marched side by side with the number one scholar who was in his thirties.
It really fits the saying, "The horse's hooves neigh in the spring breeze, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
Tang Ran knew that the top spot originally belonged to her, but because she was young, the emperor was afraid that the tree that stood out in the forest would be withered, so he gave it to her as the third place on the grounds of her handsome appearance.
It is precisely because of this reason that some people suspect that he uses his beauty to please others.
He became prime minister at the age of seventeen
Such a young prime minister is unheard of.
It can even be said that from ancient times to the present, there is only one person like Tang Ran.
He is nineteen years old now. No, it should be said that he will be twenty years old after tonight, just turning twenty.
His father was an honest and loyal official in the first half of his life, and a treacherous official in the second half. And he, Tang Ran, has been a treacherous official all his life.
Tang Ran suddenly felt a little tired. He had thought about how he would live when he was a young man, but he didn't expect the human heads that numbed him, the bloodstains that could never be washed clean in Xingtai, and the fatigue that no one understood.
The time when I was young, wearing thin spring clothes, riding a horse and leaning on a sloping bridge, with red sleeves waving in the building, is long gone.
"You dog officer, give me your life."
