Prime Minister Wen's words were undoubtedly a bombshell and shocked everyone.
However, after being shocked, he immediately became suspicious.
If it is the Dragon Tiger Army, it must have a close relationship with Xin Ruyan. Could it be said that the assassination last night was done by Dong Gong?
But these people who were killed were all ministers who supported Prince Wu Yuan. Is there no reason?
Pan Rui and everyone else showed disdain.
But Prime Minister Wen didn't care whether these people doubted it or not, and continued: "I know you may not understand, but what I want to tell you is that this is indeed the fact, and if you think about it carefully, Master Pan led the army today.
Why are people rebelling against the imperial court?"
"To say something disrespectful, it's because Mr. Pan and others suspect that this is His Majesty's idea. This means that some people have sinister intentions. In order to seize power, they actually used such methods to frame people."
"The most direct evidence is that some people are killing and rescuing at the same time. I believe many of you were rescued at the same time when you were assassinated. I have to say that this method is really wonderful, and it makes people happy.
People are amazed.”
After Prime Minister Wen finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
This logic seems to be very reasonable. If this is a drama directed and performed by Wu Yuan, it can indeed win over people's hearts and make everyone disappointed, fearful and even resistant to Emperor Wu. Even some people who remain neutral will be fearful.
Emperor Wu stood in the camp of the East Palace.
Prime Minister Wen's words even made the ministers who originally stood on the East Palace side begin to waver.
Prime Minister Wen saw everyone's reactions and felt quite uneasy.
These words he said were naturally arranged by Emperor Wu himself, and he had to obey his orders. After all, it was not the time to reveal that he was from Wu Yuan's side.
Likewise, Prime Minister Wen also understood how brilliant Emperor Wu's move was to divert disaster to the east.
Therefore, Prime Minister Wen was also worried that these people could not stand firm and wavered, and Emperor Wu really succeeded.
"Your majesty is wise and knows that you are also being fooled, so I specifically told me not to hold you accountable for your disrespectful behavior. Sir, do you still want to continue to be fooled? Don't blame the truth for not reminding you. Although your majesty has been kind to you,
I gave you this opportunity, but I will never give you a second chance."
After Prime Minister Wen finished his last warning, Eunuch Su said: "From now on, anyone who is disrespectful or disrespectful will be killed!"
Sure enough, with Prime Minister Wen and Eunuch Su using both soft and hard tactics, many people dropped their daggers and gave up resistance completely.
Eunuch Su was very satisfied with this. At the same time, he also praised Emperor Wu's methods and felt that Wu Yuan was still a bit immature.
Then Eunuch Su looked at Pan Rui, because Pan Rui has the greatest influence here. Now, only by getting rid of Pan Rui, the remaining people will completely compromise.
"Master Pan, come with our family, His Majesty summons you."
Leave the most difficult people to Emperor Wu to deal with personally, and there will no longer be any voice of resistance in the court.
But what Eunuch Su didn't expect was that Pan Rui, who had begged to see Emperor Wu yesterday, now decisively rejected Eunuch Su's words.
"It's still missing. I am afraid that I will die in Longyang Palace."
Pan Rui's words shocked everyone.
Wen Chenglian hurriedly walked over. He did not expect that Pan Rui would be so strong and still resist to the end.
If not stopped, Eunuch Su would really kill someone.
Although he didn't know what kind of orders Eunuch Su had received from Emperor Wu, he had a hunch that Emperor Wu was determined to kill Pan Rui.
But now, Pan Rui has given Eunuch Su a reason to take action. Now even if he really kills Pan Rui, he will feel confident.
"Master Pan, I think you have really misunderstood His Majesty. Listen to my advice and go see Your Majesty. Your Majesty will not let you down."
Over there, Eunuch Su looked at Pan Rui with cold eyes, as if he was ready to take action.
"If you don't see it, you don't see it. Who wants to kill me? I know in my heart that the Longhu Army has never done anything detrimental to Dawu."
Eunuch Su's expression changed. He knew that he had to take action. If Pan Rui was allowed to continue talking, the ministers who had already surrendered would be shaken again.
"Since Mr. Pan is so stubborn, our family has no choice but to take you to His Majesty by force."
Eunuch Su did not choose to kill Pan Rui here. Although he had reasons to take action, it would also chill people's hearts. This was not what Emperor Wu wanted to see.
Pan Rui remained undaunted and even laughed, "Don't go to such trouble. As the saying goes, if you want your subjects to die, they will have to die. This dagger was originally prepared by me for myself."
After saying that, Pan Rui suddenly raised the dagger in his hand and was about to stab himself in the chest.
Prime Minister Wen was startled and rushed forward like a reflex. He was closest to Pan Rui, so he had time.
He grabbed the dagger in Pan Rui's hand, but the sharp tip actually scratched Prime Minister Wen's palm, causing Prime Minister Wen to grimace in pain.
But regardless of his own injury, Prime Minister Wen quickly advised him, "Master Pan, please don't be impulsive."
During this delay, Eunuch Su also came closer and grabbed Pan Rui's arm.
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Wen also snatched Pan Rui's dagger and threw it away.
When Pan Rui saw that he had not succeeded in committing suicide, he was furious, "You are helping the tyrants to commit evil, regardless of the great power of the country, regardless of the country's demise, confusing right and wrong, and putting the cart before the horse. Let me go quickly. How can you be loyal to such a great power?"
Every word of Pan Rui's words hit everyone's chest.
Is this really Emperor Wu forcing the rhythm? It's not Dong Gong's hand at all? Otherwise, why would Pan Rui do this?
But the next second, Eunuch Su knocked Pan Rui unconscious with a palm.
Prime Minister Wen's expression changed, "Eunuch Su..."
"I'll take him away, and leave this place to you, Prime Minister." Eunuch Su said hastily, and left with Pan Rui.
Prime Minister Wen's heart skipped a beat. After leaving, could Pan Rui come back alive?
Seeing the ministers talking around him, Prime Minister Wen also had a headache.
However, at this moment, an urgent report from 800 miles away arrived as promised.
"Report, the Tianli Kingdom's army has been dispatched and has arrived in southern Xinjiang. It will launch an attack soon."
"Report, outside the Great Stone City, Tianli Kingdom has led an army of 100,000 and has surrounded the Great Stone City. The Great Stone City is in danger."
Two urgent reports cast a dark cloud over the entire court.
At this time, the court is about to fall apart. Under the internal and external troubles, Dawu will definitely not be able to stop the iron hoof of Tianli Kingdom!
Not to mention, there are two people who can fight in Dawu. One general has been deprived of military power, and the other prince has been deposed again. How can we fight this war?
Just when everyone was feeling worried, Prime Minister Wen suddenly asked: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry. With His Majesty here, this is nothing."
