Thirty-seven, kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds
Hanging high on the city gate is Prince Gong's head.
This is a demonstration. It is a demonstration to his comrades who are as dissatisfied with those bad guys as Prince Gong. Let them know that this is the result of opposing Eunuch Hu. Kill one person to serve as a warning to others. Rule the court with high pressure and terror.
Such a fact was so cruel to the princess who was only ten years old. Her beloved father was decapitated by a villain. This kind of insult and wound sprinkled a thick layer of salt on the young heart.
She remembered what her grandfather said about being laid to rest.
Prince Gong helped others to be buried in peace, but he himself was hung high above the city gate.
"No, we can't let dad be like this..."
Tears and blood merged together. Shi Wei ignored the injury on his knees and walked stubbornly towards the city gate.
"Are you going even though you knew it was a trap? Or did your little mind never think that it was a trap?"
Whose voice was ringing in her ears? Princess Qiyun turned around and saw the man.
Somewhere in the capital.
"This is simply unreasonable! It's too much to bully someone!"
Huo Nan banged the table vigorously, with veins on his face showing and a ferocious expression, looking very angry.
This is of course, no one will be calm when they see their general being insulted like that.
"General Huo, please calm down first."
Prince Gong's retainer Li Huan sat aside and persuaded him. In fact, when he learned the news that their prince had died in battle, his whole heart sank into the abyss, and all their hopes were lost.
"Calm down? General Li, you tell me to calm down? How can I be calm? The prince has his head shown to the public, and he... they don't take our prince seriously enough! Where did these rebellious officials and traitors come from, how dare they attack the late emperor?
The legitimate son is so presumptuous!"
Huo Nan grabbed Li Huan's collar angrily and spit. His loud voice hurt Li Huan's ears.
It's not that Li Huan doesn't understand Huo Nan's angry mood now. He even wants to rush into the palace and kill the evil thief right now. He is holding back now, not because he is afraid of death. But, if he acts out of anger now, it doesn't matter if he loses his life in vain, but
If you can't slay your enemies for the sake of the prince, then the gains outweigh the losses.
"It's useless for you to be angry. That evil eunuch was killed even by the emperor. Killing one or two more clan members is not painful for them at all. Now is not the time to act out of anger."
"Bastard! You have forgotten that without the help of the prince, you would still be just a little detective and would never get ahead! You coward!"
If you make the following mistakes, you really need to be taught a lesson.
"Coward? Huh! What's the point of trying to be quick now? Didn't the prince teach General Huo what it means to have a mountain of military orders and what it means to obey orders?"
Li Huan's arrogance angered the straight-tempered Huo Nan. He threw off his arms and openly broke with Li Huan.
Li Huan also knew that it would be useless for him to say anything now. They were originally at odds with each other. If the prince had not intervened, it would be a miracle that they could live in harmony until now.
"General Huo's ability to tolerate me until now is considered the limit. But if he doesn't listen to me, sooner or later he will..."
Li Huan clenched his fists, and his nails were embedded in the flesh, causing blood to flow out. He gritted his teeth and his whole body was shaking with anger.
Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm sorry... Li Huan is really useless. He can't even give you a good sleep! It's so hard to go to the underworld a hundred years later and have no face to see the Prince! Li Huan swears on this life that he will not be destroyed.
