Chapter 308 A glimmer of life(1/2)
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Following Pang Yuhai's confused words, everyone in the hall thought that Hu Weiyong was going to directly lead the dead soldiers to attack the Yangxin Hall in order to save his son.
Among the people present, only Xu Da hoped that this was true, because if it was true, he would be much less worried. Hu Weiyong would die, and he could finally let go of his long-standing worries.
But then I saw Pang Yuhai's head shaking like a rattle.
"No, no, no, in front of the main hall, in addition to Prime Minister Hu, Princess Anqing is also here, as well as His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Governor Li Wenzhong, Li Qi, Mei Yin, and Tang Duo, Minister of War."
"They...they, like Hu Xiang, all knelt down outside the hall without saying a word!"
Pang Yuhai shook his head and said in a panic.
After hearing what Pang Yuhai said, Zhu Biao and the other two people who were kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Da on the side showed a hint of disappointment.
"What?!"
"They are all here to plead for Hu Fei?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he shouted sharply.
"If you avoid it, it should be."
Pang Yuhai nodded and said slowly.
"What on earth do they want to do?! Put pressure on me?!"
"What did Hu Weiyong say?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly with a gloomy face.
"In order to evade, Mr. Hu claimed that he was not here to plead for mercy. No matter whether Marquis Jiu'an rebelled or not, he had no face to meet His Majesty. He only asked Your Majesty to spare Marquis Jiu'an's life."
Pang Yuhai replied hurriedly.
"Isn't he forcing me?!"
"If Hu Fei is indeed treasonous, he will not be able to escape the death penalty, but he wants me to spare Hu Fei's life?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anqing also asked my servant to convey to Your Majesty that if Marquis Jiu'an dies unjustly, she will also go with Marquis Jiu'an..."
Then, Pang Yuhai continued speaking tremblingly.
"Asshole!"
"presumptuous!"
After listening to Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red with anger and he roared hysterically.
He really didn't expect that even his beloved daughter would be so obsessed with him that she would stand on the same front as Hu Weiyong and even threaten her with death.
"Father, calm down, the dragon body is important!"
Prince Zhu Biao looked at his angry father, bowed his hands, and said eagerly.
"Please ask my father to postpone the punishment and give Hu Fei a chance to prove his innocence!"
Zhu Di cupped his hands, lowered his head, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first. The meaning of poetry has always been different between benevolent people and wise people. Everyone's interpretation is different. Maybe Jiu'an Hou has a deeper meaning and he can't explain it."
Li Shanchang also raised his hands and spoke again.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, glanced in the direction outside the hall, then looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, and suddenly shook his head feebly.
"Rebellion, you all rebelled, you all came to force me, you all came to force me..."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang was seen muttering to himself as he weakly sat back on the couch with a solemn expression.
At this moment, the young eunuch walked into the hall again.
Seeing the little eunuch coming and going, everyone present took a deep breath, wondering what was happening outside.
"Your Majesty, someone has just been sent to the palace gate to deliver the news. After hearing that Marquis Jiu'an was arrested for treason, all the elderly people in their fifties and above in the city knelt down outside the palace gate and begged Your Majesty to spare the life of Marquis Jiu'an.
.”
The little eunuch bowed and said respectfully.
After listening to the little eunuch's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, did not speak, and looked solemn.
Pang Yuhai glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, turned around and waved to the young eunuch, signaling him to exit first.
Suddenly, the hall became silent, and no one spoke anymore.
Xu Da on the side looked solemn and frowned. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
"Your Majesty, if Hu Fei is planning to rebel, Hu Weiyong is also to blame. Perhaps the father and son have already agreed. They should also arrest Hu Weiyong and torture him. Maybe they can find out something."
Xu Da hesitated for a long time, took a step forward slowly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully and said.
"Wei Guogong!"
But before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything, Prince Zhu Biao had already stood up from the ground, stared at Xu Da and shouted sharply.
"I think the person who really wants to force my father to make a decision is you!"
"What's the grudge between you and the Hu family?! How can you make you want the father and son to die so much!"
Zhu Biao stared at Xu Da and said dissatisfiedly, his face turning red.
"Your Highness, the humble minister has been wronged."
"The reason why I am acting like this is because I am loyal to the court and to Your Majesty, and it is entirely for the sake of the safety of my country! Please give me a warning, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xu Da bowed his hands and said respectfully.
"It sounds nice, but since I came here, I have only seen you constantly forcing my father to make a decision, insisting that Hu Fei is treason!"
Zhu Biao snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
"alright!"
"enough!"
Xu D just wanted to continue to refute, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already said a few words coldly, interrupting the argument between the two.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang speak again, everyone fell silent again and bowed respectfully.
"I'm tired, please leave."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said feebly.
"Your Majesty, regarding this matter..."
"I've said it! I'm very tired. I'll think about Hu Fei's rebellion before I make a decision. Please step back!"
Xu Da wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and shouted in a deep voice.
"yes."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Xu Da had to bow respectfully and did not dare to say anything more.
"You all should stop kneeling, let's go, let's go."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the three people who were still kneeling on the ground, waved his hands, and urged impatiently.
"Pang Yuhai, tell the people outside what I mean and ask them to leave quickly. I don't want to see them!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Pang Yuhai on the side and said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Pang Yuhai agreed and walked out quickly.
Zhu Biao and the other two people who were kneeling on the ground slowly stood up and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a solemn expression. They all showed a trace of self-blame on their faces and bowed their hands respectfully.
"My son, please retire. The dragon's body is important. Father, please rest early."
Zhu Biao said respectfully while saluting.
"My son, please retire."
"Wei Chen resigns."
As Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Di, Li Shanchang and Xu Da beside him also saluted at the same time, and after finishing speaking, they slowly withdrew.
...
Outside the main hall.
Pang Yuhai walked out slowly, stood in front of Hu Weiyong, and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the matter of Marquis Jiu'an's rebellion will be put aside for the time being, and your Majesty will be allowed to think about it before making a decision."
"Everyone, Your Majesty is tired. He ordered you to leave the palace quickly. Please come back."
After Pang Yuhai saluted, he looked at everyone and said slowly.
After hearing Pang Yuhai's words, everyone present looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
