Li Muyi, the Emperor of Zhou Kingdom, said the last words as if he were mocking him, his eyes gradually darkened until there was no longer any luster.
Gongsun Yunxiu looked at the last emperor of the Zhou Kingdom from bottom to top, then turned around and left helplessly.
Ever since Jing Jun started attacking, Li Muyi's nerves had been tense and his mind had been in a state of great anxiety.
But he usually conceals and suppresses it very well! Only some maids and eunuchs in the palace know.
He has had no water or rice for four days.
Now being punished by Gongsun Yunxiu's regicide, his strong-willed spirit finally collapsed after getting the answer!
His pride, arrogance and ambition can no longer support his status as an emperor!
Sitting on that dragon chair, just like what he said in his last sentence, the Kingdom of Zhou was still alive when he died.
Gongsun Yunxiu turned his back and walked out of the hall step by step. As soon as he left the door of the hall, he saw the chief eunuch coming.
"Master Gongsun." The eunuch in charge saluted respectfully.
Gongsun Yunxiu didn't want to pay attention to it, but hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Father, please summon all the officials. Your Majesty has passed away."
The chief eunuch almost thought that he heard wrongly, and waited until Gongsun Yunxiu had gone far before he rushed into the hall and looked at Li Muyi who was sitting on the dragon chair.
The head eunuch's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Now the Zhou Kingdom is really dead!
There had been no courtiers in the hall for a long time, but as night approached, countless ministers came.
Everyone was in the same confusion. I heard that he was fine some time ago, so why did he say he was dead?
"How about it!"
Looking at the imperial doctor who was inspecting the corpse, ministers such as Chen Shangyun, Cao Anguo and Qi Feng all gathered around him.
The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Your Majesty died of depression."
It's a shameful death.
The ministers were in an uproar. They did not expect that Li Muyi would die of depression, which was beyond their expectations.
"What should we do now? Someone suddenly spoke."
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other, as if they were like a leaderless group.
The country is not dead yet, the emperor is gone first!
Forget it, but Li Muyi had no heirs, so even if they wanted to find a scapegoat, they couldn't find one.
As for the late emperor's princes and young masters, the second prince Li Musen had his head slapped with a watermelon by Xiao Feiyu.
The third prince Li Muqing was cremated by Zhao Kang. He was probably four or five years old at this time.
The fourth prince died young, and as for Concubine Rong’s biological son, the fifth prince Li Muyuan later became a vassal.
He died suddenly on the fiefdom more than half a year ago. It doesn't take much to figure out who did it.
Well, now, the huge royal family of the Zhou Kingdom couldn't find a scapegoat!
"Why don't you just surrender to Jingjun?" someone suddenly said.
It immediately attracted everyone's contempt.
"Do you still want to show off your face?"
"That's right! We can wait until Jing's army reaches Yandu before surrendering, but we must not surrender now!"
"Otherwise, what will the students in the world think of us!"
"That's right! No matter what, I have to resist symbolically!"
"But now His Majesty is dead."
The Minister of War sighed and said, "Do we still need to command the front line?"
Chen Shangyun chuckled, "Don't make it sound like your military department has been commanding anything during this period. It doesn't matter whether you command or not."
It’s like being beaten by someone like a grandson, what’s the difference?”
"Damn it, Mr. Chen, are you making trouble, right?" The Minister of War suddenly became furious.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Cao Anguo, the Minister of Rites, suddenly had a stern look in his eyes: "Okay! Just stop saying a few words!"
Now that Li Muyi is gone, everyone can speak freely. Seeing him yelling like this, a third-rank official actually sneered and said, "If you have any suggestions, Master Cao, please tell me immediately."
Cao Anguo lowered his eyes, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he pulled down everyone's fig leaf.
"It's time to stop pretending. Now it's time to think about whether there is still a chance to continue to stand on the new court in the future."
Qi Feng, who was in the crowd, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and left slowly with his hands behind his back. He didn't need to worry about this matter at all.
His departure did not cause any shock. The Minister of Punishment said impatiently, "Old Cao, just tell me what you think. Damn, I've been very flustered these past two days. As soon as I close my eyes, Jing Jun is calling me."
Cao Anguo, who originally looked kind and honest, now had a sinister look on his face, and he sneered and said, "Our army is indeed no match for Jing's army."
"But I received news a few days ago that students in various states have organized themselves and are preparing to go to the battlefield to resist Jing's army!"
Many people were happy, "It's just them? I'll die!"
Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs smiled sinisterly, "I have also received news. They are all poor people from poor families. It is said that in Jingzhou alone, there are 30,000 scholars from poor families gathered together in academies across Jingzhou to go to the front line."
"These idiots usually only know how to study. I'm sure that when Jing Jun comes over, these guys will come up with something. Why don't we work together to get a certificate of nomination?" Cao Anguo's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness.
A ruthless look.
All
Many of his colleagues who had been officials for many years instantly realized what Cao Anguo wanted to do.
Chen Shangyun took a deep breath, "Old Cao, you are really a beast, but I agree!"
"Yes, they are all going to die anyway, why not do something for us before they die and gather all these paupers in one place."
"We ruined them all in one fell swoop. This not only solved Jing Jun's trouble, but also let the other side know our sincerity."
"Hey! These scholars also sacrificed their lives generously to gain a good reputation! It's like killing three birds with one stone!"
"Ah ha ha ha! That's right! I'm going to write a message now. I must gather all the people with lofty ideals within a month and rush them to Xuzhou. That is the last barrier in our capital!" Zhou Guotai Academy smiled at the wine ceremony.
road.
"How about letting Gongsun and his family come?" someone suggested.
"Forget it, don't bother that guy with this kind of thing. Every time this woman's eyes stare at people, it makes people panic."
"I heard that she came to the palace before His Majesty passed away. I even suspected that His Majesty's death was related to her!"
Some people nodded and frowned as they thought of something, "By the way, now that His Majesty is dead, there are still many students from all over the capital waiting for an explanation. What should we do now that he is dead?"
"Isn't there another concubine in the harem?"
Chen Shangyun said calmly, "This girl is the reincarnation of an evil spirit. She was reborn in human form. She messed up our harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She didn't know etiquette, moral integrity, and deceived the prince Li Muyi into committing regicide. She also violated human ethics in the harem."
"Your Majesty is completely bewitched by the demon concubine. The whole century-old imperial policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been ruined because of her. It is not the fault of the Li family or us and other ministers!"
The eerie laughter resounded through the spacious hall, and the four characters "upright and bright" on the dragon chair faced the dirtiest place in the world.
