Could it be that they were still loyal to the late emperor in their hearts and did not recognize him at all?
Thinking of this, a surge of anger arose in his heart, and he wanted to burn these people to death.
At this moment, the King of Jin was heard crying: "The late emperor always valued love and righteousness, and even more so the love of brothers and sisters, but he suffered such a misfortune and died in the deep palace.
Every time I think about the past, I feel extremely sad and everyone weeps."
After reading this, the King of Jin felt that the memorial text was strange, but he did not dare to stop and continued: "What a shame! I don't know that the late emperor was always in good health, but unfortunately he passed away early.
How sad! The strong die while the weak survive. Is it because of disease that they die?
Or is there another reason?"
When King Jin read this, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly stopped reading and felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue looked at each other, both of them knew clearly. It seemed that King Jin was going to be in bad luck. Let's see how arrogant he would be in the future!
When the ministers heard this memorial ceremony, they all looked at each other, very frightened.
Everyone quickly looked at Emperor Hongyuan and found that Emperor Hongyuan's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his eyes!
After hearing the words read by King Jin just now, Emperor Hongyuan's face was full of rage.
The rebellious son of King Jin is implying that he did not care about brotherhood, killed the late emperor, and plotted to usurp the throne!
The King of Jin dared to say this in front of all the civil and military officials. He didn't want his life!
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongyuan walked towards King Jin and said angrily: "Sir, is this the sacrificial text I asked you to write?"
King Jin was so frightened that he softened and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Father, please calm down. This memorial text was written by my retainer Mo Yan, not by my son. Please understand."
Yuan Zhen also knelt down quickly and said: "Your Majesty, I can testify that this memorial text was indeed written by Mo Changshi, and the prince did not know anything about it.
My guess is that the prince scolded Mo Yan when he made a mistake before, and he had a grudge against the prince, so he deliberately wrote such a memorial to frame the prince."
King Jin was touched when he saw Yuan Zhen speaking for him. He did not expect Yuan Zhen to stand up and help him without fear of death.
Emperor Hongyuan glared at King Jin angrily, his face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth, "Whether it was written by a retainer or written by yourself, these words were read by you.
Didn't you read the memorial text before reciting it?"
King Jin shrugged his head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, father, but it was all because of my carelessness that I made a big mistake by not reading the memorial text carefully."
The Queen also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Tian Yu was also deceived by that retainer.
The retainer made a mistake and was punished by Tianyu, but he was dissatisfied with Tianyu, so he wrote such a memorial to Tianyu.
You must not blame Tianyu, he is innocent."
Seeing the queen pleading for King Jin, Emperor Hongyuan said angrily: "Queen, shut up! I don't care who wrote this memorial text, but it was King Jin who read it out, which means it was King Jin's intention!"
"Father, please calm down, this is really not my intention."
When King Jin saw this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and became weak all over.
Emperor Hongyuan looked at King Jin with cold eyes, and he became very angry when he remembered King Jin's heartbroken expression when he read out the memorial text just now.
This memorial text must have been written under the instruction of King Jin. Otherwise, why did he appear so sad?
Could it be that he also thought that his father was cruel and wanted to seek justice for the late emperor?
It seems that his son is useless and cannot be taken away!
Thinking of this, he said angrily: "Sir, I asked you to write a memorial article, but you actually wrote such an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust article to offend the late emperor and disrupt the worship ceremony.
I thought you had changed your mind and started a new life, but I didn’t expect that you still don’t want to make progress and treat sacrifice as a child’s play. I am so disappointed in you!”
