The splendid palace overflowed with a strong, nauseating smell of blood. The officials, who were extremely excited, had long forgotten all about the sage's teachings from the gentleman's distant kitchen. They were like a group of people who didn't know what it meant. With etiquette, justice and shame, he worked hard to butcher a few animals in the slaughterhouse for the right to slaughter them.
King Tao lay weakly on the bench, and his butt had already slipped from the chair to the cold floor. On the floor in front of him, there was nothing to vomit. King Tao could only retching and his mind was in chaos.
The roars, roars, and even excited screams and crashes of those officials were still echoing in my ears, as well as the occasional begging for mercy and cries that were so weak that they were about to disappear completely. King Tao got into his ears, torturing his extremely fragile nerves.
All the eunuchs around him had fled long ago. Those who dared to stay here, except for the officials who were in a state of madness, only had some imperial guards who were waiting outside the palace gate in fear, watching the crazy performances of these ministers. Split a living person.
King Tao finally made the best decision. He moved his limbs gently, like an extremely embarrassed dog with a pinned tail, and quietly crawled towards the back door of the hall, as if it was the entrance to heaven and a safe place. Only when he got there could he escape from fear and stay away from these heart-stopping corpses and horrific butchers.
Seeing that the back door was getting closer and closer, Jin Ying behind the door also saw King Tao. He quietly opened the back door a small crack and waved desperately to King Tao, as if to cheer him up. King Tao's courage doubled. Crawling on all fours faster, like the tortoise that can beat the hare on the track.
Just when he was only a few steps away from the door, a black shadow stood between him and the back door, and a strong big hand stretched out in front of King Tao's eyes. King Tao couldn't help but shudder. Qiang Zi raised his head calmly, and shouted in his voice that was shaking like fallen leaves in the wind and no louder than a cat meowing: "Gu is the King of Tao, what do you want to do to Gu? Do you want to rebel?!"
After raising his head and seeing the person clearly, King Xi couldn't help but relax slightly. It was Yu Qian, a famously loyal and upright minister. Not long after he started, he came to his desk and leaned over. The officials pushed him away or scolded him. Otherwise, King Tan himself would be affected.
Yu Qian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw King Yi slowly getting up and not trying to escape to the back door. However, when he saw that no one of the officials had noticed the situation here, Yu Qian secretly shook his head and turned towards King Yi. After giving a respectful salute, he shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, the people who were beaten and killed by hundreds of officials were all members of Wang Zhenyu's party who corrupted the government. If you don't kill, it won't be enough for the poor people. If you don't kill, it won't be enough to calm people's hearts. My ministers, Although Gong's behavior was a bit excessive, the ministers and others are all public-spirited and dedicated to the country. They have no other intentions and hope that King Xun will make the decision for the ministers and others!" A vigorous shout echoed in the hall, buzzing.
After hearing this, the officials who seemed to still have unfinished business couldn't help but froze. Looking at the blood on the floor in the court hall and the corpses that could no longer tell who was who, the officials finally Woke up with a start.
Seeing King Tao who was blocked by Yu Qian a few steps away from the back door, these officials couldn't help but feel as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over their heads. It was so cold that it chilled their bones, and their hearts, which were originally boiling with blood, were instantly chilled.
To the butthole.
"Your Highness, I agree with the words of the Minister. These three thieves are all people who can be punished. I hope that Your Highness will make the decision for me and others." The man is old and the ghost is old. The old Wang who has lived for sixty or seventy years has his mouth straight.
He didn't even have time to wipe away the blood stains, he just knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly.
The officials also regained their sanity and bowed down one after another, and denounced the corpses in unison. Seeing that King Xun's expression was still frightened and uneasy, and he did not say a word for a long time, Yu Qian had no choice but to speak again: "
Your Highness, Commander Ma Shun of the Jinyi Guards, Internal Prisoner Mao Gui, and Wang Changshun are Wang Zhen's buddies and should be punished for their crimes. Today, all the ministers are righteous. Although their actions are slightly inappropriate, they are all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness..."
King Tao looked at these ministers who were bowing respectfully, and he was very angry in his heart. These ministers were clearly threatening him. But the problem was that if he didn't agree, these ministers who were not crazy enough would get excited.
What should I do if I beat myself up too?
When the time comes, they might recommend a new prince to supervise the country. Then wouldn’t he die extremely aggrieved and unjustly?
"Your Majesty, please get up quickly. I know your intentions. I will report to the Queen Mother Ming and ask the Queen Mother to cut off the marriage." King Tan said cautiously with a smile on his face.
"No, His Highness King Tan is now in charge of the country. I sincerely request King Tan to issue an edict on behalf of the world to punish the thieves for their crimes and to calm the hearts of our ministers." Another minister also drank.
After hearing what Yu Qian meant, King Tan finally regained some color on his face, took a deep breath, and made a decision.
Wang Zhen is the chief culprit, and not ransacking his house is not enough to make the people angry. Although all the ministers have acted inappropriately, they are all dedicated to the country and have no other intentions. However, Ma Shun and others have committed heinous crimes and deserve to be punished. Therefore, all officials are assigned to their respective positions to perform their duties, and the court
We will no longer hold everyone accountable afterwards.
Moreover, as the prince overseeing the country, King Tan had no choice but to write such an edict at the request, or even coercion, of the ministers at that time. Only then did the ministers relax and let King Tan leave.
At this moment, King Xi still had the strength to walk. In the end, two eunuchs came in cautiously to support the prince of the prison country, and ran out of the hall as if they were escaping. "Finally, I am still alive..." He left the hall.
The moment they opened the door, the two young eunuchs who were supporting Prince Tan vaguely heard the noble prince's crying voice.
Empress Dowager Sun, who was also frightened by this surprise, quickly calmed down, and in the afternoon of the same day, she issued an edict to all the officials and King Xi, and then took out Zhu Qizhen's blood edict of passing the throne.
The mood has not yet calmed down, and King Xi was shocked to receive it in his hands. Looking at the words on the blood edict, the ferocious faces of the important officials in the court today, like wolves and tigers, kept appearing in his mind.
Still echoing were the shouts and curses of the court officials like shrews, and the three corpses like rag dolls that died tragically under the fists and kicks of these officials. I couldn't help but see blackness in front of my eyes, and a fierce lion shook its head.
