The scariest thing is not cutting off the Holy Envoy's legs directly, the scariest thing is...
After His Highness Qin cut off the legs of the Holy Envoy, he ordered someone to hang the Holy Envoy on the palace door, and said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the Queen's concubine who were kneeling behind him: "No one in the Qin Dynasty, except the Holy One, is qualified to receive the punishment."
If you dare to accept my kneeling ceremony, then go with the Holy Envoy."
That's right, Qin Jiyan was not the only one kneeling at the palace gate, there were also hundreds of civil and military officials, concubines in the harem, and even the guards guarding the palace gate were kneeling on the ground. No one dared to stand up.
Wherever His Highness Qin's words are placed, who would dare to challenge His Highness Qin's majesty without having the foresight to see that the Holy Envoy of the Eternal Life Sect was deposed by His Highness Qin, and he was still hanging up.
The eunuch who conveyed these words didn't know whether to say it or how to say it. He just knelt there and looked at the old emperor with a look of fear on his face.
When the old emperor heard that something happened to the Holy Envoy of the Immortal Sect, his breath began to become unstable, and it took him a long time to breathe again before he recovered.
"He is really promising. He is shouting to fight and kill." The old emperor was so angry that he didn't care about his own health. He directly asked people to carry the dragon to him. He wanted to see for himself.
Although the old emperor did not like to see the Holy Envoy of the Eternal Life Sect, before he got the Eternal Life Pill, the old emperor would not quarrel with the Eternal Life Sect, even if he was openly embarrassed.
Now, His Highness Qin cut off the legs of the Holy Envoy of the Eternal Life Sect without saying a word. As the emperor, he must go and comfort him.
The dragon was quickly brought up, and Eunuch Situ carefully helped the old emperor get on the dragon, "Your Majesty, be careful."
"You said... why are all of them so careless? I just said he was filial, and in the blink of an eye, he gave me a big slap in the face." The old emperor sat on the Dragon Boat, but he was still not angry.
Xiao, urging the eunuch who was carrying the dragon to drive him out faster and faster...
The eunuchs ran all the way and arrived at the palace gate twice as fast as usual. The dragon chase came down, and several eunuchs were so tired that they gasped. When the old emperor lowered the dragon chase, they knelt down and did not want to get up.
No, they shouldn't say they didn't want to get up, but when they were getting ready, they suddenly heard the old emperor say: "Why are you all kneeling here? What's going on?"
Huh... A group of eunuchs all looked up. When they looked up, they saw a row of people kneeling outside the palace gate. They all looked familiar.
What's going on?
A group of eunuchs looked at each other in puzzlement. At this time, no one who was not discerning dared to stand up.
"Long live your Majesty, long live long live." The guards at the palace gate were kneeling on the ground. Now when the old emperor came over, they could just kowtow and worship.
"Everyone of you, what's going on?" The old emperor walked forward with the support of Eunuch Situ, and saw the row of people kneeling at the palace gate, and Chang Sheng who was hanging on the palace gate, screaming and dripping blood.
The sect's envoy couldn't help but show anger on his face.
Qin Jiyan raised his head, looked at the old emperor, and said calmly: "Grandpa Emperor, Jiyan is ordered to kneel down as punishment."
Everyone present, except the old emperor and Eunuch Situ, all knelt down. But there is a kind of person who, even if he kneels, still does not look humble or frightened, and the aura around him does not weaken by half because he is kneeling. This is Qin Jiyan.
people.
Even when he was kneeling, he was still the most eye-catching one.
"What about you?" the old emperor asked, pointing to the civil and military minister kneeling behind Qin Jiyan.
"Your Majesty, as the chief minister of the cabinet, I failed to persuade His Highness in time, which caused Your Highness to make a mistake. I am guilty and I apologize." Lord Feng spoke on behalf of all the ministers.
As soon as he said this, the officials behind him said in unison: "I am guilty, please punish me."
The emperor holds the power of life and death, and he can punish anyone he dislikes, but...as an emperor, can he punish all the civil and military officials of the dynasty indiscriminately?
Besides, these people knelt down because they were punished by him, and all the civil and military ministers present came to seek punishment!
Everyone is wrong, but he, the emperor, is not wrong. No matter how it sounds, it sounds like he, the emperor, has made a decision that makes all the ministers dissatisfied.
The old emperor looked at Master Feng and others coldly, feeling very angry, but said nothing. Instead, he turned to look at the queen and the palaces behind her, "What about you? What's going on?"
"Your Highness lost her mother when she was young. As His Royal Highness's grandma, I failed to teach Your Highness well and even made Your Highness make mistakes. I am guilty and please punish the Emperor." The Queen apologized indifferently, not caring at all how the Emperor would punish her.
Qin Jiyan has won the hearts of her ministers, the army, and the people. The overall situation has been decided. Does she still need to hesitate?
"Are you going to be punished with him?" The old emperor pointed at Qin Jiyan, his fingers trembling.
His ministers and concubines all refused to listen to him and turned to another person. How good, good, good!
"I am willing to be punished together with His Majesty the Imperial Grandson." Master Feng, the Queen and others said in unison, and the others agreed.
No one will say no at this time.
"Okay, okay, okay, if you want to ask for punishment, I will grant it to you. Everyone will kneel here for four hours. No one is allowed to get up before four hours." The old emperor was very angry. No matter whether the old ministers could bear it or not,
Give the order directly.
"I have received my order." None of the ministers, including the Queen, complained, but Qin Jiyan said: "I can't do it, Grandpa Huang. The Queen is not in good health, and she may be in danger if she has to kneel for four hours. And Zhou is here.
Sir, Mr. Wang and the others are over fifty, and they really cannot kneel for such a long time, so please ask Grandpa Huang to take back his life."
For example, if the empress and several elderly ministers really had to kneel for four hours, they might be directly mourned when they returned. At that time, the historian would definitely mark the old emperor as stupid and cruel!
"What? Didn't you ask them to kneel down? Now you want to plead for them?" A moment ago, the old emperor only thought that Qin Jiyan was filial, but now he felt that Qin Jiyan was not pleasing to his eyes.
Angry, so irritating!
This is forced labor!
When Master Feng heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty missed His Highness. It was not Your Highness who asked me to kneel down. It was me who knew I was wrong and was willing to be punished."
Not to be outdone, the Queen said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Your Highness. Please investigate it clearly."
"You, you..." The old emperor looked at these people and blamed himself one by one. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Are these people trying to put the blame on him, the emperor?
"Your Majesty, calm down." All the ministers and concubines said with concern.
"You are rebellious and unruly, how can I appease my anger?" The old emperor coughed a few times before he regained his composure, but when he heard what Lord Feng and others said, the old emperor became furious again.
Master Feng said: "I dare not disobey the Holy One. I will definitely kneel for four hours and ask the Holy One to calm down."
It seems to be submissive, but in fact it is a slap in the face of the old emperor...
