Chapter 109 Xu Qingxiao asks for the Holy Will for the people of the world! Great Wei Zhen
Surprise! [Added update for Mr. Xinmeng Chun]
No one would have thought that this was all just a transaction.
But the moment Prince Huaining handed over the military talisman, everyone understood.
Yes, compared to what Prince Huaiping did, one military talisman is enough.
The Qilin Army is one of the five military camps of the Wei Dynasty. If it is controlled, it will be extremely stable for the imperial power, and your Majesty will be free to do anything in the future.
Therefore, even if Prince Huaiping commits a heinous crime, he can avoid death because of this military talisman.
Although everyone didn't know why Prince Huaining took out the military symbols for the trade, they agreed to the deal.
Because this military talisman was too important to the Wei Dynasty and too heavy to the imperial court.
So they agreed to this deal, even though, even though it cost the lives of millions of innocent people, and even though Zhang Nantian's whole family died tragically.
But! For the country and the Wei Dynasty, this military talisman is more important. These sacrifices are acceptable.
Yes!
In the court hall.
Xu Qingxiao's extremely clear voice sounded, causing all the officials to frown.
"I don't agree!"
In the court hall, this voice was particularly clear.
Everyone fell silent, even His Majesty was silent.
Chen Zhengru looked at all this. He wanted to speak, but in the end he remained silent. He knew that Xu Qingxiao was filled with grief and anger, but what he knew even more was that this transaction was okay.
But he didn't say it because he couldn't say it out loud. He couldn't stop Xu Qingxiao because he also had grief and anger in his heart.
The actions of Prince Huaiping have aroused the indignation of heaven and earth. If he is really absolved for the first time, he will also feel uneasy.
But he is the prime minister, and his heart is for the Wei Dynasty.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao, Chen Zhengru was silent. If he were thirty years younger, maybe he would be like Xu Qingxiao.
"Xu Aiqing, let's end this matter."
The empress's voice sounded, and there was no emotion or anger in her beautiful eyes, because she knew that Xu Qingxiao was filled with grief and anger, and that Xu Qingxiao was a good official.
She understood that Xu Qingxiao was a great talent, and she also knew that she also wanted to kill Prince Huaiping.
But this matter has been settled. The Qilin Soldier Talisman is too important.
So what if a Huaiping County Prince dies? Can millions of innocent people be resurrected? It is better to take back military power and settle the score slowly later.
This is her idea. As she is in a high position, she can only do this.
A true emperor must know how to make choices.
Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao still spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, I am investigating this case. Each file seems to contain only a few words, but behind every word, there are lives."
"There was a catastrophe in Pingqiu Mansion. How many innocent people died in vain? Sir, close your eyes and see the cries of the people. Open your eyes and see the helpless eyes of the people."
"Zhang Fujun is an honest man and a model for all officials. He would rather die than surrender and is not afraid of power. However, in the past ten years, he has been misunderstood by the world and is considered to be the culprit."
"But I feel that Mr. Zhang is not afraid of what the world says, because justice is in the heart of the people."
"But Mr. Zhang witnessed the tragic death of his entire family. His youngest son's eyes were gouged out, and his wife had her fingers pulled out and howled in mourning."
"I don't dare to think about such a scene, I don't want to think about it, but if this happens to anyone, I'm afraid I won't be able to swallow this breath."
"Zhang Fujun is dead, but Justice is still alive, and so is the Punishment Department."
"For what Prince Huaiping did, I believe that he will die today!"
Xu Qingxiao spoke plausibly every word.
Yes, this is a deal, this is a deal for the country. If it is for the future, Xu Qingxiao can just stand there without saying a word.
Then it won't be long in the future that I will be promoted successively.
If you manage such a big thing for Your Majesty yourself, you will definitely be reused, but
But
But
Xu Qingxiao couldn't do it.
His intention is not to expect that there will be no case in the world.
But in his heart, if he encounters injustice, he will punish it with the law, so as to give justice to the people of the world and let heaven and earth learn from it.
so!
Today, Prince Huaiping will die.
In the court hall, Prince Huaiping laughed. He laughed loudly. He looked at Xu Qingxiao. To his ears, these words were like the funniest joke in the world.
His father handed over the military talisman in exchange for his life. Anyone with any brains would agree to this deal.
But Xu Qingxiao wanted to stop it?
He smiled at Xu Qingxiao's ignorance.
He laughed, laughing at how stupid Xu Qingxiao was.
Yes, he tortured and killed Zhang Nantian's whole family, but so what? A bunch of dog-like things, shameless, so what if they die?
Today I want to see how you, Xu Qingxiao, can kill me!
He laughed, laughed wildly, and said nothing.
Prince Huaining on the side was silent. He didn't care that his son was laughing. The military talisman had been handed over, so this matter should be settled.
In the court hall, Prince Huaiping's laughter seemed particularly harsh. This was a kind of trampling, trampling on the laws of the Ministry of Punishment, trampling on the national prestige of the Wei Dynasty, and trampling on the strictness of all officials.
But Your Majesty, you still remain calm.
Because no one knows the importance of the Qilin Talisman better than her.
This military talisman is of great significance. Not to mention that Prince Huaiping laughed. Even if he laughs here for the rest of his life, it doesn't matter.
Because this soldier talisman can reduce more casualties, the impact is immeasurable.
"Xu Qingxiao, you are fair, I Ming! You have done a good job in this matter."
"But, for the country, the country, and the people of the world, this matter ends here."
The empress spoke. She knew the sadness and anger in Xu Qingxiao's heart, but her words could be regarded as a reminder to Xu Qingxiao, letting Xu Qingxiao know how significant this matter was.
The sacrifice now is for a better future, and she hopes this matter ends here.
At the same time, she also expresses her feelings, hoping that Xu Qingxiao can understand her hard conscience.
She is the emperor!
She is the ruler of the Wei Dynasty. In her eyes, she sees not just millions of people, but tens of millions of people.
So I hope Xu Qingxiao can understand her difficulties.
And these words are also simple.
If he retires now, everything will be easy, and he will be promoted to a higher position in the future.
If we proceed now, it will only make the situation more rigid, which is not a good result.
In the court hall.
An Guogong looked at Xu Qingxiao and couldn't help but sigh, this is the cruelty of the court, what you think is not worth it, what you think is the sacrifice, what you think is unfair, for a truly superior person, as long as it is suitable, everything is not a problem.
He wanted to dissuade Xu Qingxiao, but after thinking about it he remained silent. In this situation, Xu Qingxiao could only think about it carefully.
"My lord, Xu Qingxiao, does not agree. I hope your majesty will think again."
However, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.
He still didn't agree.
It's a deal, yes.
But in my eyes, this is not a transaction.
This is the life of millions of innocent people, this is the hatred of Zhang Nantian's family, and this is the sacrifice of all innocent people.
If Prince Huaiping does not die.
He is uneasy!
It's not the fear of revenge, but the uneasiness in my heart.
"Xu Aiqing."
At this moment, the empress's voice sounded. She looked at Xu Qingxiao and seemed helpless in her words.
"My lord! I hope, Your Majesty, you will think twice!"
And Xu Qingxiao looked squarely at the empress.
"Xu Aiqing, I have decided on this matter."
"I will take care of everything in the future, don't worry."
However, the empress spoke again. She still called Xu Qingxiao Aiqing, but she hoped this matter would end there.
As for the matter of Prince Huaiping, she would naturally make up her mind and there was no way that Prince Huaiping would hurt Xu Qingxiao.
She is the emperor.
She is the empress of the Wei Dynasty and the ruler of the Wei Dynasty. Once these words are said, there is no possibility of changing this matter.
As these words came out, Prince Huaiping's gaze became even more arrogant, like a beast. He looked at Xu Qingxiao, the arrogance in his eyes, the arrogance in his eyes, could make people's lungs explode.
And this moment.
Xu Qingxiao said nothing. He turned around and looked at the sky, then turned around and looked at the empress.
"Your Majesty! Sir, finally, please, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Xu Qingxiao still said this.
The attitude remains firm.
As soon as he said this, the madness in Prince Huaiping's eyes changed and turned into a kind of pity. In his eyes, he felt that Xu Qingxiao was a fool and had no brains.
You don’t think this will be effective, do you?
Doing this will only make the emperor angry. It will only make the emperor angry. It is really stupid, really stupid.
Chen Zhengru let out a long sigh. He looked at Xu Qingxiao and planned to speak. Let's just settle the matter like this. Don't make any more trouble. Don't make any more trouble.
"Xu Aiqing, do you know that if the Prince of Huaiping County is really punished, many people will impeach you for causing trouble in the Ministry of Justice! Impeach you for seizing power! At that time, you will not be able to protect yourself!"
The empress spoke. She did not blame Xu Qingxiao, but told Xu Qingxiao that if you kill the county king, you will be unlucky. It is impossible to punish the county king without punishing you?
However.
Just at this moment.
Xu Qingxiao took out his order for the head of the Criminal Department, placed it on the ground, looked at the empress, and said with extremely clear eyes.
"His Majesty!"
"I, Xu Qingxiao, the head of the Punishment Department, has committed a heinous crime. I know that I am unworthy of His Majesty's kindness, of the entire Punishment Department, and of the people of the world."
"My lord, I resign today."
Xu Qingxiao spoke with great firmness. He would resign here and no longer be an official.
"Xu Qingxiao, you are so presumptuous."
At this time, Sun Jing'an roared angrily, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said this.
Although he also hates Prince Huaiping, this matter is almost done here. The Qilin Soldier Talisman is exchanged for Prince Huaiping's life. No matter how you say it, it is a very good deal.
But Xu Qingxiao has been radical again and again, making it impossible for His Majesty to step down, and for all the civil and military officials to step down, and even resigned now. Isn't this another slap in the face of the empress?
However, Xu Qingxiao looked at Sun Jing'an with indifference.
"Today, Xu Qingxiao is no longer an official."
"Sun Jing'an, as a great scholar, you remain silent in the face of injustice! Is this what Zhu Sheng meant?"
"How did you learn the meaning of Zhu Sage? If the saint were alive, he would be ashamed of you."
Xu Qingxiao's words scolded Sun Jing'an to the point where her body was completely bruised.
The next moment, Xu Qingxiao waved her robe and walked out of the hall.
Everyone thought that Xu Qingxiao was angry and was about to leave the court.
However, in an instant, when Xu Qingxiao walked out of the palace, he bowed to the sky and the earth.
And his voice resounded throughout the entire Wei Palace.
"Student Xu Qingxiao!"
"Today, we will find out the Pingqiu Mansion disaster relief case and investigate the real culprit, Prince Huaiping."
"However, his father's power is overwhelming. He ignores the law and the people's hearts, confuses right and wrong, and rescues the sinner Prince Huaiping."
"Today, the court is unfair!"
"Today, the Wei Dynasty is unfair!"
"Today, regardless of all injustices, students are willing to stand up for justice in their hearts, speak out for millions of innocent people, and avenge justice for all innocent people."
"Student, Xu Qingxiao!"
“I beg the Holy Will to come!”
"Advocate for the innocent!"
“To avenge the dead who were wrongfully sentenced!”
"Heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can be used as a guide!"
When Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, he expressed his thoughts and reasons word for word.
Yes, the people in the court don’t care!
It doesn't matter!
Yes, this is a deal, innocent people died in vain, it was just a deal.
But in Xu Qingxiao's eyes, this is not a transaction.
But there are lives and wailing sounds.
yes!
yes!
yes!
There is no fairness in the court.
But he promised Qingxiao that he was willing to be fair in the court.
Perhaps, twenty or thirty years later, he will also follow the trend.
but.
Now, I am still young, the blood is still flowing in my body, and the cry in my heart is still fairness.
“Holy Will Please!!!!!!”
In an instant, Xu Qingxiao bowed to heaven and earth, and his voice was deafening, resounding in everyone's heart.
At this moment, everyone in the court was silent. They were moved by Xu Qingxiao's spirit, and their views on Xu Qingxiao completely changed.
But they wanted to help Xu Qingxiao, but they couldn't.
Xu Qingxiao’s passion is still there.
But they don't have much passion left.
The great scholars were silent. Chen Zhengru looked at Xu Qingxiao. He knew that Xu Qingxiao was asking for the holy will.
But he sighed.
Although Xu Qingxiao can possess the great power of a great scholar, asking for the Holy Will is not a trivial matter. If Xu Qingxiao is a semi-Saint at this moment, it may really be possible to ask for the Holy Will.
But now, he can't invite him out.
Because his grade is too low.
"May"
Chen Zhengru wanted to speak, but Prince Huaiping's harsh laughter sounded first.
But just as he started laughing, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Whirring whirring!
Whirring whirring!
The strong wind hit, incomparably terrifying, and the clear sky of the Wei Dynasty completely changed at this moment.
The dark clouds are rolling, covering millions of miles of mountains and rivers.
The lightning and thunder seemed to scream about the injustice.
Outside the hall, the strong wind blew Xu Qingxiao's white shirt, making a hunting sound.
The bright red blood looked so dazzling at this moment.
Between heaven and earth.
A white shadow.
It was like the first beam of light piercing the darkness.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
In the capital of the Great Wei, academies erupted into blazing pillars of light, rising into the sky and rushing towards the Wen Palace of the Great Wei.
Soon, ancient cities were disturbed, and beams of light shot into the sky, all coming from major academies.
Outside, the world is undergoing great changes, and the celestial phenomena are terrifying.
In the main hall.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.
As a great scholar, Chen Zhengru sensed what was going on at this moment.
"Xu Qingxiao! You actually invited Shengyi?"
Chen Zhengru's body was trembling.
Please give me Holy Will.
This is to invite the saint's will to revive and judge this matter. The saint is greater than all else, but between heaven and earth, even the sub-sage may not be able to invite the holy will.
Not only because of the grade issue, but more importantly, you must have a reason for asking for Holy Will, and it is definitely not a personal reason, but a reason for heaven and earth.
At the same time, even if there is a reason, it is still a question whether the saint's intention can be sensed and whether he can agree with it.
From ancient times to the present, it has rarely happened that a Confucian scholar invited the Holy Spirit.
Xu Qingxiao actually did it!
this!
this!
this!
This is incredible, this is incredible.
Chen Zhengru was completely shocked.
At this moment, under the strong wind and dark clouds, Xu Qingxiao's white clothes were too dazzling.
The great talent of the ages! The great talent of the ages!
Chen Zhengru's eyes were astonished, full of astonishment. He was the prime minister, the prime minister of the Wei Dynasty, and a great scholar. He had seen many great storms and waves in his life, but what he saw and heard today was like nothing he had ever seen before.
In the main hall.
The empress' eyes also showed surprise.
She did not expect that Xu Qingxiao actually invited Holy Will, nor did she expect that Xu Qingxiao would do this.
But she didn't say anything.
Sitting quietly on the dragon chair.
Above the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Bundles of rays of light rose into the sky and converged towards the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty. This was the light coming from all the academies and Wen Palaces of the Great Wei Dynasty. Soon more rays of light pierced the sky.
Those beams of light seemed to represent the arrival of justice.
Flooding towards the Great Wei Wen Palace.
The people were shocked. They didn't know what happened and why such a scene occurred.
"What's going on?"
"Such a sight is unprecedented."
"What happened? What happened to Da Wei?"
"Someone is asking for holy will! Someone is asking for holy will!"
People didn't know what happened, but some Confucian scholars suddenly realized what had happened and couldn't help pointing to the sky and saying.
The extremely bright light tore through the darkness, and those beams of light were like peerless sword energy, soaring into the sky.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, the Great Wei Wen Palace was shaking crazily.
In the Saint's Church.
The statues of the five saints were also shaking crazily.
Eventually, a statue of a saint absorbed all the light, which resonated with the holy will.
In the court hall.
When Prince Huaiping saw this scene, his previous arrogance, arrogance, and arrogance turned into panic, shock, and disbelief.
Despite all his calculations, he never thought that Xu Qingxiao would actually invite Holy Will.
This is impossible, this is impossible.
The reason Prince Huaiping was so arrogant was because of his father. When his father handed over the military talisman, he knew that he was completely fine.
Because the emperor will not kill himself.
So he dared to laugh in the court, dared to continue to mock Xu Qingxiao in the court, and dared to be so arrogant.
But when the Holy Will appeared, he could no longer laugh or be arrogant, because he might really die here.
"Xu Qingxiao, this matter, no matter what, is my fault. Let my son go, and I can guarantee that I will abolish Huaiping Martial Arts, and I will never trouble you forever."
At this moment, not even Prince Huaining could remain calm.
He spoke immediately, hoping that Xu Qingxiao would give up all this. He was willing to directly abolish Prince Huaiping's cultivation so that Prince Huaiping would never cause trouble to Xu Qingxiao for the rest of his life.
His attitude is extremely sincere, he is serious, as long as Xu Qingxiao agrees, he will not let his son cause trouble to Xu Qingxiao.
only.
this moment.
Outside the main hall.
Xu Qingxiao, who was in the midst of the storm, didn't care about her future at all.
He invited the Holy Will, and his purpose was still very determined.
Not to mention the prince speaking, even if the majesty spoke, it would not be able to stop his determination.
boom!
At this moment, a phantom appeared above the Great Wei Wen Palace.
This phantom is a hundred feet high, standing between heaven and earth. It stands with its hands behind its back, and a vast righteous energy like a vast ocean surrounds its body.
"It's the third saint!"
"This is the third saint!"
"Students meet the saint!"
"Students meet the saint!"
"Meet the saint!"
When the phantom of the saint appeared, all the people in Kyoto of the Wei Dynasty knelt down and all the literati also knelt down. They called themselves students and knelt down before the saint.
In the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, all the scholars also knelt on the ground. Even the great Confucians had to kneel down. This was a kind of etiquette, a great gift.
Facing the saint, all living beings kneel down.
Not only the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, but all the scholars in the entire Wei Dynasty sensed the appearance of the saint's intention. At this moment, these scholars knelt down towards the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty and performed the great ceremony of the saint.
At the same time, this terrifying holy will filled the air crazily. Countless monsters were trembling, and some big monsters even had splitting headaches. Under such holy power, they were almost destroyed physically and mentally.
This is the power of the saint.
Even if it is a holy will, they cannot bear it.
At this moment, all the literati in the world knelt down and worshiped the Great Wei Wen Palace. This was piety from the bottom of their hearts.
In the Wei Palace, even the empress could not sit upright at this moment. She slowly stepped down from the dragon throne. However, she was the emperor, so naturally she could not kneel down and worship. But stepping down from the dragon throne was a sign of great respect.
As for the civil and military officials, they all knelt down at this time. Even the military officers had to kneel down. Although they looked down on these literati, they looked down on the literati, not the saints.
The two characters "literary saint".
It means too much.
This kind of existence transcends everything.
It is simply incredible that someone can invite the Holy Will even in the dark night.
"Xu Qingxiao, I am wrong!"
"I am wrong! Don't kill me!"
"I can guarantee that I will change my past mistakes!"
"I will never cause trouble for you. I can make an oath, a poisonous oath, to Xu Qingxiao, let me go, let me go!"
"I really knew my mistake!"
At this moment, Prince Huaiping collapsed. He did not expect that Xu Qingxiao actually invited the saint to reverse the irreversible situation.
At this moment, death was too close to him. All pride, all arrogance, and all arrogance disappeared at this moment.
Instead, there was fear, deep fear. He kowtowed to Xu Qingxiao like a dog, begging Xu Qingxiao to spare him.
He will not trouble Xu Qingxiao anymore. He is afraid, really afraid, and his heart is completely broken.
He doesn't want to die. He is the king, the king of Wei. He can still continue to dominate and prosper, and he can still live happily in this world.
But now that he is about to die, almost no one can look down upon life and death, especially for someone of such a high status. His life will be extremely rich, so how can he be willing to die?
No matter how you punish him or abuse him, as long as you let him live, he will be happy, but only if you let him die, he will be completely terrified and terrified.
"Xu Qingxiao, let my son go, I am willing to make any deal with you."
"I kneel down for you."
Prince Huaining's voice also sounded. He begged Xu Qingxiao to let his son go. This was his son.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to see his son die in front of him. This was absolutely impossible.
but.
All begging for mercy.
All begging.
Xu Qingxiao ignored it.
Because Xu Qingxiao knew that they begged not because they really knew they were wrong, but because they were afraid of death. If Prince Huaiping was let go, he would still be able to be arrogant and domineering in the future, and he would still be able to take human life lightly.
And the most important thing is that Xu Qingxiao did not invite the Holy Will for himself, he invited the Holy Will for the innocent people, and he wanted to restore a peaceful world to the people of the world.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
"Student, Xu Qingxiao."
"Please ask the Holy Spirit to punish the evil!"
Between heaven and earth, Xu Qingxiao bowed deeply to the phantom of the saint.
His words resounded throughout the mountains and rivers of Wei Dynasty.
Above the Wen Palace.
The phantom of a hundred-foot-long saint looks toward the Wei Palace.
boom!
The terrifying light fell.
The lightning is like a dragon.
Thunder is like a god.
Between heaven and earth.
A sword.
Cut through the sky.
This is the sword of a saint condensed with great righteousness. It can kill both demons and evil.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
Prince Huaiping had a look of complete fear in his eyes, but the next moment, the unparalleled sword of the saint slashed out and killed him!
Prince Huaiping was stunned on the spot, with fear in his eyes, deep fear, unwillingness and despair!
After a breath, Prince Huaiping's body floated away and turned into little bits of light. This was the death of both body and soul. It was not death of the body, but the death of his soul.
There is absolutely no Prince Huaiping in this world.
This is the sword of the saint.
The sins have been cut off.
All the light gradually dissipated.
The billowing dark clouds dispersed, and a golden sun shone on Xu Qingxiao, making her look particularly extraordinary.
The sound of thunder and lightning disappeared.
It's as if a new life has been ushered in.
The Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty calmed down again.
Everything in the world seemed to have calmed down.
Inside the court hall.
The civil and military officials were quiet. They looked at Xu Qingxiao with extremely complicated hearts, especially these great Confucians. They really didn't know who Xu Qingxiao was.
Why can we invite the Holy Will?
The Empress of Wei watched all this quietly. What Xu Qingxiao did today disrupted her plan.
Everyone became quiet.
Everyone's thoughts are different.
But this scene was deeply imprinted in their minds, and they will never forget it in their lives.
The holy will comes quickly, but also leaves quickly. After all, it is the will of the saint. If it can last, all the demons in heaven and earth will be extinct.
A full quarter of an hour later.
The empress slowly returned to her dragon chair.
Only then did all the officials come to their senses.
"Xuan, Xu Qingxiao enters the palace."
At this time, the empress' voice sounded. She didn't have any emotions, she just spoke like this.
Outside the palace.
Xu Qingxiao looked at Prince Huaiping, who had been completely destroyed physically and mentally. He felt very calm in his heart.
Enjoyable?
carefree!
But the death of Duke Huaiping was not a pity, he deserved it. He knew that what he did today had disrupted the empress's plan, but he knew even more.
If you don't do this, you will have trouble sleeping and eating all your life.
Now.
Xu Qingxiao let out a suffocating breath and let it out completely.
After hearing the voice of the empress again.
Xu Qingxiao walked towards the palace.
"Student, Xu Qingxiao, I have met His Majesty."
When Xu Qingxiao entered the palace, he did not call himself a minister, but a student.
Resigning just now is not a joke.
"well."
The empress sighed slightly.
The next moment, she continued.
"The prince of Huaiping County has committed an unpardonable crime and cannot be tolerated by the Holy Will. He has been punished by heaven and earth. I order him to be removed from the throne, removed from the clan, and his descendants will not be able to serve as officials for generations to come."
"Moreover, we should restore the innocence of Pingqiu Prefecture Prince Zhang Nantian, tell the world, and overturn his case. All Wei officials involved in this case will be given a pension of one thousand taels and will be given priority by future generations."
"Prince Huaining recovered the stolen 25 million taels of silver and handed it over to the Ministry of Household Affairs within three days. At the same time, his son made a huge mistake. As his father, he should take responsibility and take back the Qilin Soldier Talisman to comfort the people of the world.
heart of."
"However, Xu Qingxiao seized power today, held the minister's order, and dispatched soldiers from the eight gates. This is a serious crime."
"Send an order to seize the prisoner and wait for his release."
"My beloved sir, what do you think?"
The empress of the Wei Dynasty opened her mouth, saying that since the deal was done, she had nothing to say, so she should be punished and the grievances should be washed away.
She wants the military talisman!
She wants the stolen money too!
Whether Prince Huaiping dies or not, there is no difference in her eyes, as long as the goal is achieved.
As for Xu Qingxiao, he did make a big mistake. There is no doubt about this, and there is nothing to argue about. If Xu Qingxiao had chosen to give in before, and Prince Huaiping did not die, then Xu Qingxiao's sins could also be exempted.
This was also a deal, but Xu Qingxiao didn't agree, so he could only enter the prison and wait for his punishment.
This is the court hall.
After all, there are many things that you have no control over.
The officials glanced at each other, and Chen Zhengru spoke immediately.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
Chen Zhengru knew that the empress was still protecting Xu Qingxiao, but was only imprisoned in the sky prison, and did not really want to execute Xu Qingxiao, so it was best to follow the empress's wishes now.
As Chen Zhengru spoke, hundreds of officials also responded.
Even Xu Qingxiao didn't refute a word after hearing the empress's decree.
Because there is no doubt that he was wrong to seize power, he pleaded guilty.
Naturally, all eyes fell on Prince Huaining.
He was the only one who didn't express his opinion.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Prince Huaining just stared at the empty ground.
After a while, Prince Huaining said with his cane.
"Your Majesty, I am feeling ill and want to go back to rest."
But with this sentence, he did not criticize Xu Qingxiao, nor did he participate in Xu Qingxiao's performance. Prince Huaining simply said this and turned around to leave the court.
Before leaving, Prince Huaining glanced at Xu Qingxiao.
There was no malice, no cruelty, no hatred, nothing at all, just a glance.
And Xu Qingxiao knew it very well.
I had completely offended Prince Huaining to death.
But what made Xu Qingxiao a little strange was that Prince Huaining didn't criticize him at all. His son died in front of him without showing any hatred towards him.
He did not criticize himself, not even begging His Majesty to execute him on the spot.
Although His Majesty would not do this, Prince Huaining did not speak, which seemed extremely strange.
Xu Qingxiao understood.
Compared with the arrogance of Prince Huaiping, this silent person is the real terror.
Even if his own son died, he could endure it.
What kind of person is this?
Prince Huaining is gone.
His back was trembling, and he walked down the steps step by step with a cane.
The golden-armored guards came from outside the palace and took Xu Qingxiao with them.
Go to Tianlao.
Looking at all this, everyone was silent, really not knowing what to say.
"Retreat!"
A calm word rang out.
After all the officials shouted long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, they withdrew from the court.
After leaving the court, everyone was silent.
He seemed very worried.
An hour later.
Everything that happened in the court spread in the capital of the Wei Dynasty in an instant.
The people did not expect that Xu Qingxiao, who wanted to avenge the injustice of the Pingqiu Mansion's death, actually invited the Holy Will to kill the Prince of Huaiping County.
But I didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao would be thrown into a prison.
At this moment, the people were a little aggrieved.
"This Prince of Huaiping County is simply not a human being. It's better to kill him. He deserves to be killed. What a pity, Mr. Xu Qingxiao!"
"Xu Qingxiao is really a good official. How can there be such an honest official in this world?"
"We are going to set up a plaque to worship Xu Qingxiao. Such honest and good officials really do their best to eliminate harm for the people."
"Have mercy on me, Master Xu."
The people in Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty were talking a lot, and they told everything about Xu Qingxiao since he entered school.
Above the feast, the eternal term, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, always remember the hatred of the country.
At the banquet in Nanyu Tower, he appealed for the grievances of the people. As a Confucian scholar, he dared to angrily rebuke the great Confucian and speak out without hesitation to offend the great Confucian.
He even made a clear statement, which caused all the Confucian scholars in the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty to sneer at him, and then made a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment, also because the Ministry of Punishment was unfair and corrected its mistakes.
And today, he is killing harm for the people, destroying his own future and imprisoning him in a prison.
For such a person, it seems somewhat inadequate to describe him as a good official.
The common people were emotional and aggrieved for Xu Qingxiao. At the same time, they also clapped their hands and applauded after learning that Prince Huaiping died.
When the officials returned home, they began to discuss the matter and what would happen to Xu Qingxiao.
They knew that the empress just took Xu Qingxiao to the prison, which meant that there was still room for saving the matter.
But how to save it, they couldn't think of it.
The princes are discussing, the civil servants are also discussing, the six ministries are discussing, even the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty, many great scholars are also discussing how to save Xu Qingxiao.
Because they know.
Xu Qingxiao was really not wrong this time.
Even the great scholars in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty knew from their own perspective that Xu Qingxiao was not wrong. Being able to attract the Holy Will proved that the saints all agreed with what Xu Qingxiao did.
Naturally, they also want to support Xu Qingxiao.
Support is support, and chaotang is chaotang. There are many differences between the two.
Everyone knew that the empress did not want to kill Xu Qingxiao, but everyone also knew that this matter was definitely not over.
Xu Qingxiao's killing of the king will inevitably lead to a series of chain reactions. At the very least, the vassal kings from all over the country will definitely not agree. They are all relatives of the emperor and members of the royal family. What is happening to Prince Huaiping.
It wasn't Xu Qingxiao's turn to kill him either.
However, Xu Qingxiao killed him.
Although it was with the help of a saint, the one holding the sword was a saint, but the one who killed was Xu Qingxiao.
Things will definitely not end so easily.
But no one knows what the outcome will be, and it is difficult to guess.
The next day.
The news has spread throughout the entire Wei Dynasty, not even the entire Wei Dynasty, even outside the Wei Dynasty, this matter has spread.
Please give me Holy Will.
This is such a big deal that it is impossible to block the news.
After the common people learned about this incident, they were all very happy and applauded, but most of them still complained about Xu Qingxiao.
They believed that Xu Qingxiao was innocent, and they also believed that Xu Qingxiao had no fault. Although he had seized power, his crime would not lead to death. A small punishment or two would be sufficient, and such an honest official could never be buried.
After officials from various places learned about this incident, they were extremely emotional, especially those in Nanyu Prefecture.
When Li Guangxin learned about this, his first reaction was shock, and he could not recover for a long time.
In the end, Li Guangxin could only sigh. He was the Lord of Nanyu Mansion. Although he wanted to help Xu Qingxiao, he was really powerless.
But soon, Li Guangxin frowned and then spoke.
"Come here, find a big piece of cloth, a hundred feet long and at least three feet wide, hang it in the Nanyu Mansion, inform the people about the affairs of the capital, and let the people choose whether they are willing to petition for Xu Qingxiao."
Li Guangxin had no way to influence the court, but he knew that the empress did not want to kill Xu Qingxiao, but Xu Qingxiao had offended Prince Huaining and the royal family. It was a fact that Xu Qingxiao had seized power. If he wanted to be rescued, he had to give a reason.
So Li Guangxin could only come through this method.
Later, Li Guangxin wrote several letters and sent them to other princes.
He knew that this matter could not be delayed and must be done quickly.
Just like that, at noon that day, a big cloth was hung in Nanyu Mansion. When the people passing by learned about it, they spread the news word of mouth and left their names. If someone didn't know how to sign, just fingerprint it.
Suddenly, the people in Nanyu Mansion were the most passionate.
Soon several major prefectures near Nanyu Prefecture also concocted the same thing, but they issued it voluntarily and would not force the people to sign. If they are willing to sign, they can sign. If they don't want to sign, it doesn't matter.
At the same time.
The petition from Nanyu Prefecture also spread to other counties and prefectures. Many people were aggrieved because of Xu Qingxiao. Now that they heard about it, they even asked the local government offices to do the same.
Local government agencies did not dare to suppress public opinion and produced petitions as quickly as possible for people to sign.
But, just today.
An envelope of memorials flew to the court like snowflakes.
It is a memorial from the vassal kings in various places.
When they learned that Xu Qingxiao had furiously beheaded the Huaiping County Prince, these feudal princes couldn't sit still. They didn't care whether the Huaiping County Prince should die or not. As a member of the royal family, he was actually killed by a mere head of the Criminal Department.
Suddenly, the vassal kings everywhere were angry and full of great hostility towards Xu Qingxiao.
However, these vassal kings were also extremely smart. They did not express their true feelings, but came up with a key point to criticize.
【Seize power】
The crime of seizing power is no small matter.
What's even more frightening is, what do these feudal kings mean by making a fuss about seizing power?
If Your Majesty does not execute Xu Qingxiao, does that mean that His Majesty allows the people below to seize power?
If that's the case, if one day they turn against each other and seize power, you can't say anything.
this problem.
Very sharp and very scary.
The memorials, like snowflakes, are almost uniform in content.
The theme is seizing power.
Your Majesty, please execute Xu Qingxiao immediately!
