Chapter 58: Pardon Three Times
Look at the golden house in front of you.
Elsa was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
The ministers were also stunned, on the one hand, they were suppressed by the huge amount of wealth in front of them, and on the other hand, they did not expect that the so-called "beautiful woman in the golden house" had really changed from a joke-like metaphor to a reality towering in front of them.
The aristocratic faction stayed for a while, and then heard Zhou Ming's words, and there was an uproar in an instant!
The old prince's face changed wildly, and then he jumped like thunder.
He rushed to Zhou Ming and asked, "Noctis, what do you mean by this, what promise did you keep?"
"Of course, it's to fulfill what I said before, build a golden house, fill it with priceless jewels, hide Elsa in it, and don't let others steal Elsa, you see, I have people build the golden house, and there are countless priceless jewels in it, so my promise has been fulfilled, this is fine, right?"
Zhou Ming shrugged and said.
The old prince's chest rose and fell violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the promise you kept? This is the trick you bastard came up with? Boy, I want you to marry Elsa, not this shitty house!"
"I didn't say I was going to marry Elsa, Lord Prince, when did you hear me say this? Now you also see that the golden house is here, and the promise I made has been fully fulfilled, and I have not said anything and have not believed it, have I?"
"Boy, I'm going to beat you to death! I'm going to kill you!"
The old prince's eyes were red, he raised the cane in his hand, and knocked on the door of Zhou Ming's head.
Zhou Ming jumped back and dodged, and immediately two sturdy guards rushed out and stopped the old prince who was carried away by anger.
"Bastard boy, I'm going to beat you to death!"
The old duke, who was stopped, still waved his cane vigorously.
The other nobles at the scene also looked at each other in shock.
The ministers formed a human wall, protecting His Majesty the Emperor while persuading the old prince (in fact, mending the sword).
"Lord Wangjue, the golden house promised by His Majesty is here, why are you still so angry?"
"Old Prince, stop making trouble, it's almost enough. ”
"Old Prince, you are still too impatient, and now as you wish, the Golden House is here, and a good story has come true. ”
"Ah~ah~!" the old lord shouted even more violently, and the two guards could barely stop him.
"Miss Elsa, Miss Elsa, where are you going?"
There were also people on the nobles' side who shouted.
But Elsa, whose self-esteem was greatly hit, collapsed on the spot, lifted the corners of her skirt, cried and ran away.
The old prince, who was still struggling, did not have enough strength to break through the heavy obstacles, and then heard the movement behind him, knowing that his great-granddaughter collapsed and ran away.
"Puff~!"
The old prince was furious, his heart twitched violently, he first had a sweet throat, raised his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then felt that his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and then his vision was dark, and his body fell backwards.
"The old prince has fainted!"
"The old prince vomited blood!"
Now it's all in chaos.
……
After three days, the old prince was basically gone.
He has been in a semi-fainting state.
More than a dozen mouthfuls of blood have already been vomited.
When he finally regained some consciousness, it was also the last moment to return to the light.
At the end of his death, the old prince suddenly thought about it, and gave an explanation to the children and descendants beside the bed.
The old prince said to his great-granddaughter Elsa: "Elsa, great-grandfather will no longer persecute you, go find the man you really love, no matter who he is, you can marry him." ”
"Great-grandpa, great-grandpa!" Elsa cried again.
Finally, the old prince said to his eldest son, Bruno, "Don't ...... Revenge, you are no match for Noctis, do not go to his troubles and show him your subjectivity...... Submit to. ”
"Daddy, I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!" Bruno clenched his fists, his eyes red.
"Don't ...... No. The old prince shook his head again and again.
"The Lucis family must not bear such humiliation!" said Bruno through gritted teeth.
"No...... Not ......"
The old prince wanted to stop it loudly, but his voice became smaller and smaller, his breath became weaker and weaker, and his last sight, on the faces of the male descendants in the room, saw unforgettable hatred and a monstrous roar of revenge.
A word sounded in his heart: It's over.
……
Three months later.
The nobles sent more than half of the court, which had become a little empty, and suddenly a military emergency message came:
"Report to Your Majesty, the Lucis family has officially announced a rebellion, with more than 300 elite soldiers, and is currently accelerating the march, and the elite forward troops have gone straight to the direction of the imperial capital!"
The herald said.
"How is the morale of the other party?" asked Zhou Ming.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the morale of the rebels is like a rainbow, and the whole army is dressed in mourning clothes, white for thousands of miles, but it is silent and silent, and no one laughs and makes noise. ”
Zhou Ming sighed, shook his head and said: "This is a group of mourning soldiers, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, the old prince has been arrogant in his life, has made great achievements in governance, and has benefited hundreds of millions of people, and is deeply loved by the people, I can't help him." His face was full of regret, and his heart was full of self-reproach.
"Your Majesty, the elite vanguard of the rebels is marching quickly, and has taken several county towns in the royal territory, according to their marching speed, they can reach the vicinity of the imperial capital in two months, Your Majesty, what should we do. A general asked.
"The sin of this matter lies with me! They sent troops out of righteous indignation, they are the teachers of the Dao! In this way, I sent an envoy to tell them that my royal army will not resist, and that I will withdraw two thousand miles and wait for them in Edalas County, west of the imperial capital, and I will personally lead the royal army to fight a fair war on the great plains of Edalas County!"
"If I am lucky enough to win this war, I will pardon the Lucis family, release all the prisoners of war, release them and return to their hometowns, and promise not to harm the Lucis family. ”
"If I am defeated, then ask them to take my head, stop harming my people, stop killing, return to peace, return to their respective lands, and reconcile the two sides, and this dispute will be over. ”
Zhou Ming said.
Hearing this, the ministers were taken aback, and then spoke out to dissuade them.
"Your Majesty, the rebels are numerous, the cavalry corps is very elite, and the Wang Division is by no means their opponent in the field battle!
"Your Majesty, you don't know anything about military affairs, if you exterminate the rebels, you should leave it to the minister, and the minister will promise to defeat the rebels to the ground! Let them return with great defeat!" said a minister who had experience in military struggle.
"Your Majesty, although the rebels are strong, but after several years of strong army construction, the royal legion of the empire is not weak at all, and the minister has full confidence to defeat the rebels, defeat the noble alliance, disintegrate them all, and then turn all the noble territories into counties of the empire!"
Another minister said confidently: "As for the arrogant and domineering Lucis family, who have no emperor, the minister thinks that they should be all destroyed and killed! Let everyone see what will happen if they oppose Your Majesty!"
"No!"
Zhou Ming waved his hand, "I have already hurt the Lucis family, I can't hurt them anymore, if I really win by luck, I will not only pardon the Lucis family, but if they rebel again in the future, I will still pardon them, and so on three times...... I will give the Lucis family three pardons. ”
"The Troublesome Envoy also told Lord Bruno about this, and I hurt the Lucis family once, but I allowed them to hurt me three times, and pardoned them for their innocence. ”
Zhou Ming said.
What the?
The ministers were taken aback.
