Emperor Liu Qi took the canonization edict handed over by the Prime Minister, read it, then sat down, picked up the pen and considered it for a moment, and then said: "It turns out that I missed this sentence... Oops, I wrongly blamed Zhang De..."
Everyone was beaten and a scapegoat was found.
At this time, the emperor suddenly said such a sentence, which really left the ministers speechless.
However, when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen was in power, similar dramas could often be staged, so the ministers were not surprised.
Emperor Liu Qi said to himself: "He ordered Changshan County to be divided into two parts, Changshan Kingdom in the east, where the prince Liu Rong lives, and Zhongshan Kingdom in the second place, where the prince Liu Fei lives!"
With that said, he called Zongzheng and Liu Ji to his side and ordered: "Zongzheng, please immediately prepare the royal edict and regulations!"
"Nuo!" Zongzheng kowtowed and said, "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
As a result, everyone in the court knew that the emperor had decided to make his second son Liu De the heir apparent. What had been rumored for a long time was finally coming true!
Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad.
Especially Daxing Wang Hui, whose whole face turned black.
If Liu De comes to power...if someone tells him again that I have targeted him a few days ago, with the ambition of the Han royal family, how can I still survive?
Wang Hui thought like this, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to go out to pay homage and said: "Your Majesty, please establish a prince as soon as possible to stabilize the country. The prince Liu De can be enshrined in the ancestral temple..."
But he hasn't finished speaking yet.
Bang! Something flew out from the throne and hit Wang Hui on the head.
"I'm not dead yet!" Emperor Liu Qi was furious, staring at Wang Hui with a cold face.
The atmosphere in the venue instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Death penalty... capital crime..." Wang Hui kept kowtowing, and even his head was broken, causing blood to flow out immediately. Although the pain on his head was severe, Wang Hui was secretly proud in his heart.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, how can you defeat my tricks?" Wang Hui has always believed that doing this great job is really a waste of talent. He has the talent of a king and should sit in the position of prime minister.
but……
"Being smart..." A low sigh from the left reached Wang Hui's ears, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body almost lost all strength. Wang Hui could tell that the owner of that voice was Chao Cuo.
"Self-righteous!" This was the sigh of Zhou Ren, the doctor who had been almost invisible in the court.
Chao Cuo and Zhou Ren were both close confidants of the emperor of the day. Among them, Zhou Ren was even known as the hidden minister. Some people even said that as soon as the emperor stuck his buttocks, Lang Zhongling would know what the emperor was going to do.
"Da Xing!" Emperor Liu Qi stood up coldly and asked Wang Hui: "Do you think I am a dead person?"
"Where is the Prime Minister?" the emperor turned around and ordered with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty is here!" Prime Minister Shen Tujia came out to pay homage.
"Where is Tingwei?" the emperor asked again.
"Your Majesty Ou is here!" Ting Wei Zhang Ou bowed his head.
"Da Xing Wang Hui alienated the king and his son. What crime should this be?" Emperor Liu Qi suddenly raised his voice and asked.
I really thought he was a fool!
More than ten days ago, Wang Huicai teamed up with Tao Qing to impeach Liu De, and in the blink of an eye he was praising Liu De. Do you really think that he is illiterate and has never read history books and does not know the age?
Wang Hui felt extremely bitter in his heart. He remembered that someone once said to him: "Those who are good at swimming will drown in the water!"
At this time, the voice of Tingwei Zhang Ou came to his ears: "Separately between the king and his son. This is Bren's grave crime. According to the law, he belongs to the clan!"
Prime Minister Shen Tujia also said: "Driving a wedge between a king and his son has been a common tactic used by treacherous ministers and villains since ancient times. The old ministers were so frightened that they did not notice that there was such a treacherous person in the court. It is a capital crime!"
The prime minister has confessed his crime. Then Wang Hui is convinced that he is a heinous and unforgivable traitor, and it is not an exaggeration to kill him with a thousand cuts!
Wang Hui trembled with fear, and he turned to Tao Qing, the imperial censor, for help. So far, only Tao Qing could plead for mercy, which might be able to win him a chance of survival.
Chao Cuo, who was standing next to Wang Hui, saw all this, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Liu De was right, Tao Qing was indeed hooking up with others and wanted to establish another family. He was really a shameless villain.
!
So Chao Cuo launched a fatal blow. He went out to worship and said: "The seal of King Zhao Wuling's Sand Dune Change is in front of you. These traitors must be punished severely and the country's laws and regulations must be upheld!"
The three giants, the Prime Minister, the Tingwei, and the Internal Secretary, all showed up, full of murderous intent.
Wang Hui almost despaired.
However, what makes him even more painful is that even his ally, the imperial censor Tao Qing, also cut off his tail to survive.
"I believe that Daxing is trying to drive a wedge between the king and his son, and has some evil intentions. He should be punished by his clan, and his car should be broken up and abandoned in the city. This should be reported to the whole world as a warning to others!" Tingwei only said that he should be dealt with according to the law, and the prime minister only criticized him morally. Chao
Wrong, although the previous chapter mentioned the past events of King Zhao Wuling, he did not ask for the cruelest punishment of being torn apart in a car, let alone having his body and head separated after death, and his head being taken to the national touring exhibition.
"So cruel..." Wang Hui glanced at Tao Qing fiercely. At this point, he knew that he had no chance of escaping death, but his family might be able to be saved, and his head might not be taken away.
Become an exhibit and travel across the country.
He took off his crown and hat with a slight trembling, kowtowed and said: "I am guilty of a capital crime, a capital crime, but I must report it!"
He looked at Tao Qing, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to die with him, and said with a pale face: "It was the imperial censor who ordered the envoy. I am just an accomplice, and the first offender is Tao Qing!"
"Slander!" Tao Qing screamed, knelt down and said, "This is absolutely not the case!"
Tao Qing never expected that Wang Hui would turn into a mad dog and bite him when he caught him.
But he had forgotten that everyone was about to die and his family was about to be wiped out. How could Wang Hui not be crazy?
"That's enough!" Emperor Liu Qi shouted loudly and ordered: "Where are the guards!"
More than a dozen fully armed guards immediately came forward and worshiped: "Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
"Pull the king thief down and hand him over to Tingwei's Mansion for trial!" Emperor Liu Qi said coldly.
Of course he could order Wang Hui to be executed directly on the spot, but in that case, Wang Hui would be too cheap!
The punishment of being broken into pieces was so cruel that the emperor of the Han Dynasty never used it.
According to the law, this serious crime would cut off the whole family and three tribes. Only pregnant women and children under eight years old could survive, but they could not escape the fate of being sold into slavery.
As for Tao Qing...
Emperor Liu Qicai didn't bother to care whether he was slandered or actually involved in this matter.
He is the emperor, not a criminal official who tries cases, let alone a people-friendly official who decides cases.
He only needs to know who was impeaching Liu De with Wang Hui before, that's enough!
However, the imperial censor is one of the Three Dukes, and under the Han family system, he is at the level of general and minister. Although the crime deserves death, he cannot be executed. Moreover, the current situation is critical, and such a big scandal cannot occur in the court.
So he said: "The imperial censor is ignorant and incompetent, and has no talent to assist in government affairs. He ordered him to retreat and give way to the wiser..."
When Tao Qing heard this, his whole body instantly became paralyzed. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only take off his hat and apologize, saying: "I obey the imperial edict..."
Tao Qing knew that this was just the beginning.
Next, according to tradition, Tingwei Zhang Ou would bring a glass of poisoned wine to his home and watch him drink it.
