Jiang Siming sneered, do you still want to commit suicide? How about pretending that he doesn't exist? Even letting you commit suicide is a luxury!
Ji Ping lost his courage and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and begged Jiang Siming to grant him death.
"Weren't you very tough just now? Didn't you want to sacrifice your life for the country? What does this little pain and this little pain mean? Do it!"
Immediately afterwards, the guards cut out Ji Ping's tongue and knocked out all his teeth!
Ji Ping couldn't even scream and fainted from the pain.
"Carry a bucket of chili pepper and salt to wake him up, then drag him to the Meridian Gate, cut the body into pieces with five horses, and feed the body to rats."
"Here!"
The cruel punishment could calm Jiang Siming's anger a little at this time.
Ji Ping was taken away, and Jiang Siming stood up from the king's chair.
"Okay, now that we've dealt with this little gangster, it's now the mastermind's turn."
After Jiang Siming finished speaking, he pulled out the sword beside the king's chair and strode out of the palace.
All the generals followed Jiang Siming, aiming directly at the palace.
At this time, it started to rain in the sky in Chang'an, accompanied by thunder, as if God knew something big was going to happen.
In the palace, Liu Xie, who was going to the royal ancestral hall to pray for King Ming, laughed wildly at the memorial tablets of his ancestors from all dynasties of the Han Dynasty.
"Father, my ancestors, I finally succeeded in killing the traitor Jiang Bei, and got rid of a traitor for my great Han Dynasty. I hope that my ancestors will protect the emperor, help the Han Dynasty, and revive the Great Han Dynasty!"
Just as Liu Xie finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the ancestral hall.
Liu Xie was very dissatisfied and went out to drink: "You dog slave! Don't you know this is the royal ancestral hall? Get out!"
But as soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, he was stunned. He saw the dark Xuanjia Army walking up the stone stairs of the ancestral hall with expressionless faces.
These soldiers all carried gleaming weapons that were cold to the bone, and the murderous aura exuding from their bodies made Liu Xie's legs tremble.
And right in front of these soldiers, they were led by Jiang Siming.
When he saw Jiang Siming, Liu Xie's face turned pale and he was stunned!
"He...why isn't he dead..."
Liu Xie didn't expect that not only was Jiang Siming not poisoned to death, but he even seemed to be fine. What on earth did Ji Ping do?
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Jiang Siming smiled and said hello to Liu Xie like an old friend.
Liu Xie tried his best to force out a forced smile, and said in a pretense of surprise: "Prince Ming, it's great that you're okay. I heard that something happened in the Palace of Ming, and the Queen and I miss you very much, but it's a pity that it's inconvenient to go out."
"I believe the Queen cares about me, but you said you care about me?"
Jiang Siming said, mopping the floor with his sword, walked up to Liu Xie, and then asked with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried about when I will die, right?"
Liu Xie was extremely frightened, fearing that Jiang Siming would chop him into pieces with his sword.
"How could it be? I really care about your safety. You see, I have gone to the ancestral halls of my ancestors to pray for you. There is absolutely no lie."
Liu Xie is a tough talker. If he didn't say so, he would not be able to save his life.
Jiang Siming raised his eyes and looked at the ancestral hall of the Han royal family. There were many tablets inside, representing the emperors of the Han Dynasty.
The one placed at the highest position is the tablet of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
Ignoring it for the time being, Jiang Siming continued to talk to Liu Xie: "But, why did I hear the imperial physician Ji Ping say that he was ordered to poison him by you?"
"He...he is slandering! Pure slander! He must be a gap between Cao Cao or Jiangdong to sow discord between me and Prince Ming. He deserves to be punished!" Liu Xie's eyes were evasive.
Jiang Siming was too lazy to look at his flawless acting skills, and then used a move to hypnotize Liu Xie.
The reason why he didn't use the soul-searching technique was because the current situation was tense. If he made Liu Xie an idiot, Cao Cao and the others would definitely make a fuss about it and use it as a reason to send troops.
If this is the case, he will be passive before the fight starts and become the one being attacked.
The appearance of Ji Ping also made Jiang Siming see many things clearly. Even though his state and county are now at peace, the people all love him.
However, there are still many pedantic supporters of the Han Dynasty, most of whom are gentry and nobles, because the policies implemented by Jiang Siming in recent years have been to weaken or even eradicate the rule and power of the gentry.
They have long been unhappy with Jiang Siming, and once the war starts, they will definitely fall into the arms of the five-way alliance.
This is what Jiang Siming doesn't want to see. He must first settle down the internal affairs. If there is an internal problem, he will not have the confidence to fight externally.
He is fine, but the soldiers will become restless and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
After all, they are all worried about the situation at home. Under such circumstances, how can they display the combat effectiveness that an army should have?
Besides, Jiang Siming has always been on the side of morality, and this time he didn't want to be kidnapped by someone who was against morality.
The hypnosis was activated, and Liu Xie immediately fell into confusion.
Jiang Siming began to ask him questions, and in a few words, he found out Liu Xie's secret.
I didn't expect that Liu Xie could really find a way. Because there were informants everywhere in the palace, he pretended to be ill last year and asked the imperial doctor to see him.
At that time, he rebelled against the imperial physician Ji Ping, and Ji Ping began to keep in secret contact with him.
As for how they got in touch with so many informants in the palace, Jiping is also a ruthless person.
There were so many people in the palace, whether the emperor, eunuchs or maids, they would defecate every day. The eunuchs would gather the feces together, and then the guards would transport it out and dump it every day.
Ji Ping bribed the two guards, and every time Liu Xie wanted to talk to him about something, he would go to the toilet and write a letter, and then throw it into the cesspool.
Then two guards will take the excrement bucket out of the palace, and Jiping will run to the place where the excrement is dumped to find the letter.
If you want to reply, write a letter and give it to the guard responsible for changing the toilet in Liu Xie's toilet, and ask him to bring it to Liu Xie.
The two of them went back and forth, and exchanged hundreds of letters in this year, but the palace spies didn't even notice.
Also, who would think of putting a letter in feces.
The person who planned to poison Jiang Siming was not Liu Xie or Ji Ping, but Cao Cao.
Cao Cao sent a spy to Chang'an secretly, hoping to find an opportunity to enter the palace and contact Liu Xie.
But I never found an opportunity, and then I was lucky enough to meet Ji Ping. After questioning, Ji Ping found out that he was Cao Cao's man.
Instead of reporting it to the official, he conspired with Cao Cao's spies to commit the poisoning incident.
And the initiator of this poisoning method was not Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's new counselor, Jia Xu!
"Well, Jia Xu, you are indeed known as a poisoner. Don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will definitely make you die even worse than Ji Ping."
After asking for information, Liu Xie fainted due to being too nervous and frightened, coupled with hypnosis.
But Liu Xie fainted, but no one dared to help him, as if he was nothing.
In the eyes of Guo Jia and others, Liu Xie is just air and a scourge that prevents their lord from becoming emperor.
