Chapter seven hundred and ninety third: blood splashes in the court
Perhaps he still had a glimmer of hope for the emperor in his heart, Lu Xiang turned his head and looked at Chen Jingzhong, and said, "But, it's not certain. Maybe Your Majesty is just to let five hundred boys and girls go to the Ninth Stage with him, Just seeking the elixir of immortality, otherwise... if these five hundred boys and girls disappeared mysteriously, Your Majesty would probably not be able to explain to the world..."
The more Lu Xiang said this, the less confident he became. Is the emperor still worried that he could not explain it to the world? No!
"Why not tell the princess of Zhenguo about this? Look at the prince... the prince almost obeyed the princess' words. Perhaps... can the princess of Zhenguo persuade the prince?" Chen Jingzhong said.
Lu Xiang shook his head: "The princess Zhenguo said that the prince can listen to it, but our prince... does not have the courage to face His Majesty!"

Liang Kingdom, Hancheng.
Two prescriptions were sent to Emperor Liang's desk, and both of them were from the Jin army.
Some court officials in the court said that Zhao Sheng should be punished for his treason and that Zhao Sheng should be executed.
Some court officials said... Zhao Sheng was captured but managed to get a prescription for treating the epidemic. The Zhao family has always been loyal to Liang State. Zhao Sheng must have committed a false treason for the prescription. If he could not obtain the evidence, he would kill the entire Zhao family. The general was so upset when he asked, and he might have really joined the enemy camp.
The court debates continued, but the third prince stood up and said to the emperor: "Father, my son and son thought that the Zhao family has been loyal to me for generations. General Zhao Sheng could not treason, let alone General Zhao Sheng's mother and wife and children. All in Hancheng, how could General Zhao Sheng abandon his mother, and his wife and children ignore it?! So the father must not kill the entire Zhao family to avoid the heart of General Zhao! My son thought... the imperial guards could temporarily let the imperial guards surround the Zhao mansion Just take care of the Zhao family.”
The old Prime Minister Liang Ting nodded: "The third prince said this very well!"
Seeing the emperor nodding, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief.
A court official saw the emperor lowering his eyes and looking at the prescription recorded on the sheepskin, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since Jin has given the prescription to us Liang this time, I think... Jin may not want to fight. Then, Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to make peace with Jin State, wait for our country to recuperate, and completely eliminate the epidemic, and send troops to Jin State to avenge the Fourth Prince."
Knowing that Emperor Liang was eager to take revenge, the courtier spoke very carefully.
Emperor Liang raised his eyes and looked at the courtier, and was angry: "When the epidemic is completely eliminated, then send troops to Jin State. At that time... you will say that the treasury is not supported. I don't know you yet?! From today on, who will dare to mention it with me I will kneel down and ask for peace. If you want to avenge such a thing again in the future, I... will kill your son, so that you can also understand my feelings now!"
When the courtier heard this, he was so scared that his legs became weak and he knelt directly in the hall: "I deserve to die for all my crimes. Please calm down your anger!"
The emperor left without a smile, and the third prince could only hurry up and appease the court officials, and then helped the court officials kneeling in the hall up, sorted out their clothes and asked for the emperor to see him, and asked the emperor to issue an order.
After the third prince came out of the emperor's bedroom, the emperor's decree was also issued.
The emperor asked the imperial guards to take care of the Zhao family first, and no one needed to enter and exit Zhao's mansion until Zhao Sheng returns.
Unexpectedly, after the imperial guards surrounded the Zhao Mansion, they learned that... Old Mrs. Zhao took the Zhao family back to their hometown to visit relatives five days ago, and the imperial guards immediately reported the matter to the emperor.
The emperor was furious and ordered that all relatives within Zhao Sheng's three tribes be captured and imprisoned, and people were sent to capture Zhao Sheng's family.
Zhao Sheng and his family were trotting, and treason was a foregone conclusion. This made Emperor Liang very upset, but something that made Emperor Liang even more upset followed.
The emperor gave the two prescriptions to the Imperial Hospital. After the Imperial Hospital studied the two prescriptions to the people suffering from epidemics in the Hancheng Treatment Center. After taking the medicine for three days... the people who took the medicine were indeed getting better.
However, people who use precious medicinal materials can make the best faster. Taking the second prescription after replacing the precious medicinal materials will make the good a little slower, but it can also cure epidemics.
The Imperial Hospital presented two prescriptions to the emperor's desk, and a new problem arose... Among the prescriptions for treating epidemics, there is an irreplaceable drug Huang Cen.
Daliang does not produce Huang Cen, but Huang Cen's production is extremely low, so Huang Cen's price in Liang State is relatively high, which is fine. After all, when countries were engaged in trade, there would always be merchants transporting Huang Cen to Daliang, because Daliang and
Jin State has borders, so... most of the Huangce used in Daliang is from Jin State.
Now that Huang Cen, the whole country of Daliang, is enough to send the storage capacity to the army, but the medicine to treat the increasing number of people suffering from the epidemic is far from enough. Emperor Liang needs to decide what to do...
Should we still fight to the death with Jin State, or seek peace by kneeling down and seeking Huang Cen to save the people of Daliang?
The emperor refused to seek peace and ordered people to collect herbs from all over the country and send them to the army... to ensure that the soldiers could maintain their combat effectiveness and fight against Jin.
The third prince of Daliang, who has always been weak, finally no longer fears the emperor's power. The dynasty contradicts Emperor Liang: "Father, the soldiers who defend their families and the country are from the people. If they only care about the soldiers and the people will die, the people will die one after another.
If the source of troops is lost and there is no source of new recruits, the soldiers on the battlefield will be exhausted, and the Liang State will still be defeated by then! The Liang State has reached such a situation... The father is still unwilling to seek peace. Could it be that he has to wait until the country is destroyed... He has to wait until he becomes
Is it the king who lost his country willing to be willing?!"
Emperor Liang was angry and picked up the incense burner and smashed it at the third prince. The third prince did not have time to dodge. Last time he was smashed by the emperor, his forehead that had just recovered was suddenly filled with blood again.
The third prince stood up, regardless of the blood on his head, his eyes were desolate and sad, and he looked at Emperor Liang, saying, "Father is the king of a country. For the sake of his fourth brother and one person, he will not live or die in the lives of the people of Liang,
Regardless of the life and death of the soldiers! Is the father still the emperor of Liang State?"
"You are arrogant!" Emperor Liang's eyes were bloody.
"Father, my son's life was given by my father. This is the only time to be arrogant and the last time to be arrogant in front of my father! My son couldn't bear to see Liang State's state of refusal to seek peace, which caused the people of Daliang to suffer a devastation.
The disaster makes me even more unable to bear to see Liang State destroyed by Jin State. I will go now. Please take care of my father!"
After saying that, the third prince, who was rich and round, rushed straight towards the red painted cylinder in the hall.
The old prime minister opened his eyes wide: "Stop the third prince!"
At the critical moment, a general rushed forward and knocked away the third prince who was about to hit the pillar. The third prince fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity. At the end, his head still could not touch the red pillar of red paint, and blood could not splatter in the court.
Several court officials immediately rushed up and knelt down and hugged the third prince, crying that the third prince should not do this.
