From his expression to the bottom of his heart, he was filled with despair and helplessness.
At this moment, he regretted extremely why he did such a stupid thing.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world, so he can only pray that he can save his life and go back today.
At this time, Li Chen's words also came through.
"Since Hou Yushu is Lord Tantai's disciple, let him handle it."
Li Chen's indifferent words made Tantai Jingzhi sigh in his heart.
He knew that the other charges against Hou Yushu were trivial, and at least they would not cost him his life.
But the problem is that Hou Yushu committed suicide. On an occasion like today, in full view of everyone and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he instigated the relationship between the East Palace and the Su family.
Su Jinpa is about to marry into the East Palace and become the crown princess.
Regardless of emotions, this is a political marriage of strong alliances.
It is extremely important to both the East Palace and the general Su family.
Such a marriage, which is destined to cause a sensation in the world and affect the political structure of the country, cannot be shaken off at all.
Therefore, Hou Yushu must die today.
Whether it was for the prince's face or to appease the Su family, he had to die.
It's just that killing Hou Yushu in this way is too harsh. Now the prince must consider the overall situation and must cherish his feathers and leave as little evidence as possible to the world.
So this bad guy can only do it himself.
So it seems that Li Chen gave the power of punishment to Tan Tai Jingzhi.
But Tan Tai Jingzhi knew deep down in his heart that what was handed over from the prince's hand was a knife that he had to cut off to become this evil man.
Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Dantai Jingzhi looked at Hou Yushu, who was full of hope, and said slowly: "Hou Yushu has a corrupt character, lost his etiquette in front of the palace, and even framed the God of War. His crime is unforgivable.
"
"In private matters, the old minister Dan Taijing failed to notice his apprenticeship, so he asked for a fine of one year's salary, and immediately expelled Hou Yushu from the school. From then on, the relationship between master and disciple was severed, and they never met each other again."
"Your Majesty, Hou Yushu's crime is unforgivable. He should... be deprived of his status as a Jinshi, demoted to a commoner, and executed!"
When the three words "Zhan Li Jue" came out of his mouth, even the civil and military officials who had been mentally prepared for it looked in an uproar.
I just feel that Tan Tai Jingzhi is too cruel.
If you really say kill, then kill.
The other candidates all looked solemn and did not dare to say a word.
Hou Yushu couldn't accept it even more.
He yelled crazily: "Teacher, why are you treating me so harshly? I accept expelling me from the school! I accept depriving me of my Jinshi status and demoting me to a commoner! But why do you want to kill me?"
"We are master and disciple. Master, why are you so heartless!?"
Dantai Jingzhi waved his hand and said with some frustration: "The guards on the left and right will drag Hou Yushu out of the Meridian Gate and behead him."
The guard looked at Li Chen and immediately took action after seeing His Highness the Crown Prince nod slightly.
Two burly men came forward, one on the left and one on the right, each took Hou Yushu's arms and dragged him away.
Hou Yushu's feet were on the ground, his head was shaking from left to right, and he was still struggling. He shouted hoarsely: "Master! Why are you so heartless! I don't accept it! I don't accept it! I don't want to die!!!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince! It's me who is short-sighted and looks down on others. It's my fault. It's all my fault. I beg Your Majesty the Crown Prince to have mercy on me and spare my life!"
Hou Yushu's scream for mercy also tore off the last bit of his grace and threw it to the ground and crushed it into pieces.
