Chapter 514: Worried
Tang Zegong and Lin Yi glanced at each other, originally in this situation, the two of them should have been extremely frightened and trembling, but when they were detained in the main hall again, the two of them imagined all kinds of consequences, and they were all out of the way at this moment.
Under the gaze, Tang Zegong took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the empress: "Your Majesty, although Lin Bai has violated the majesty of the royal family and cannot escape the crime, but the matter of arresting the Sun and Moon Sect and persecuting Lin Bai, I think Your Majesty has done too much, and it is not convincing enough..."
"Your Majesty, originally in this matter, Your Majesty could have opened the net and let Lin Bai go, so as to show Your Majesty's mind, but Your Majesty has to kill Lin Bai, we... I can't see it..."
As soon as Tang Zegong's words fell, Lin Yi also plucked up his courage and spoke.
Hearing the words of the two, the male emperor was angry, and suddenly slapped the dragon chair throne: "Presumptuous, what should I do, it's your turn to point fingers? Can't look at it? If you can't look at it, you can betray me? Privately let go of the people of the Sun and Moon Sect?"
Call!
Seeing that the emperor was furious, Tang Zegong's face showed a hint of determination, and he smiled: "Anyway, I did it, my subordinates don't regret it, how Your Majesty punishes it, my subordinates have no complaints." ”
At this moment, Lin Yi, who was kneeling next to him, was also silent, with a posture of wanting to kill and chop, and listening to the respect.
"It's the opposite, it's all the opposite..."Looking at Tang Zegong's attitude, the empress was almost mad, and under the angry shouting, a strong royal coercion also shrouded Tang Zegong and the two of them.
At that moment, Tang Zegong and Lin Yi both silently closed their eyes, waiting for the empress's move, at this moment, they said what they wanted to say, and they had already put life and death out of the way.
However, the empress shouted angrily, but in the end, he didn't make a move, but shouted angrily outside the main hall: "Come on, drag it down, and put me on death row together with those people from the Sun and Moon Faction." ”
Suddenly, as soon as the male emperor's voice fell, Shen Qing and Hua Manyue, who were guarding outside the hall, and several other guards, walked in quickly and took Tang Zegong and the others down.
At that moment, just as Shen Qing and Hua Manyue were about to walk out of the main hall, they were suddenly stopped by the empress, and the two hurried back, kneeling in front of the empress together, looking like slaves.
"You two, this time you successfully blocked the escape of the Sun and Moon Faction, and made a great contribution, I now appoint the two of you as the captains of the imperial guard, replace Tang Zegong's position, and give you ten thousand taels of gold..." Looking at the two kneeling in front of him, the empress rubbed his eyebrows and said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. ”
As soon as the empress's words fell, Shen Qing and Hua Manyue were overjoyed, and they kowtowed again and again to thank him.
Looking at the two of them who were very grateful, the empress was tired at the moment, rubbed his eyebrows, and waved his hand: "Okay, you two stand down." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Qing and Hua Manyue hurriedly responded, followed by another bow, and then got up and left the main hall.
At that moment, watching the figures of the two disappear at the door of the main hall, the tired look of the empress gradually cooled down, thinking of the scene when Lin Bai and Nie Qianyu made trouble in the palace before, and the anger filled his heart again.
"Anyone who betrays me will die." In a fit of rage, the empress said to herself.
At this time, with the departure of Nie Qianyu and the others, order in the palace was gradually restored, but after this incident, at this moment, all the inside and outside of the palace were under martial law, and the patrolling guards and guards were also twice as strong as usual.
At the same time, the ministers of civil and military affairs who originally gathered in the palace to watch the finals, after such a toss, they were all panicked, and the originally festive recruitment suddenly became a battlefield, which was also unexpected by everyone.
And in the entire Imperial City of Kyoto, Lin Bai's trouble in the Imperial City was also completely spread.
Not only in the Imperial City, but this news also quickly spread throughout the Seven Continents.
For a while, whether it was the cultivation world or the ordinary society, when they heard the news, many people were sighing at my boldness, and at the same time, for the strong suppression of the empress, some people thought that the empress's approach was somewhat perverse and contrary to public opinion...
Soon, there were all kinds of remarks in the market, among these remarks, a small part of them agreed with the empress's approach, thinking that Lin Bai was a big rebel, and most of the remarks were in favor of Lin Bai, thinking that Lin Bai was not a big mistake, it was the empress who made a big fuss, and some of them were overwhelming...
Just when these rumors were spreading more and more fiercely, the male emperor quickly summoned the minister of civil and military affairs in the Imperial Palace.
At that moment, the empress sat on the throne, his face was extremely gloomy, his eyes slowly glanced at the civil and military ministers below, and said in a deep voice: "What do you Aiqing think of today's matter?"
Princess Yunle was taken out of the palace by Lin Bai, which was simply a royal humiliation for the empress, at this moment, in the heart of the empress, there was already a plan to give up Princess Yunle, as long as she could kill Lin Bai to vent the hatred in her heart, what if she gave up a princess?
At this moment, the empress's voice fell, and the civil and military ministers in the hall were silent. Many ministers know that the empress is angry at the moment, and it is better for him to speak less.
However, among the ministers, there are still some upright personalities.
Under the silence, one of the civil officials, clearing his throat, slowly walked out, and said slowly to the empress: "Your Majesty.. Today's matter, the subordinate thinks that it is not necessary to make a big fuss.."
"What do you mean?" the empress looked directly at the civil official with a flash of eyes, and asked in a cold tone.
The civil official's face hesitated, he looked at the ministers behind him, and plucked up the courage to continue: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter, the subordinate thought about it carefully just now, and felt that Lin Bai's previous actions were not unforgivable... Anyway, he also quelled the rebellion for our Qingyun Kingdom..."
Hearing this, the empress sneered, her face full of displeasure: "So, I still want to reward him? Even if he confuses the harem, I should turn a blind eye?"
"No, no.." The civil servant quickly shook his head.
At this time, another minister, taking a deep breath, walked out quickly, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister thinks that this matter should end here, and now there are rumors outside that Your Majesty has gone against the grain and reversed his word, saying that even if Lin Bai has changed his identity, he is also the first place in this recruitment competition, although he has committed the crime of deception, but the crime is not death.. But Your Majesty, you have to kill Lin Bai, and many people are upset about Lin Bai..."
Speaking of this, the minister cautiously looked at the empress's face and continued: "So the minister thinks that since there was no casualty in the previous chaos, Your Majesty and Lin Bai, why don't you shake hands and make peace?
"Bastard.."
As soon as the minister finished speaking, the empress's face flashed with anger, and his eyes were also full of murderous intent, and he looked closely at the two ministers in front of him, and scolded him angrily: "I am the Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five Supreme, representing the supreme holy power of the royal family, who dares to say that I am not?
"Someone, drag me out and behead me..."
As soon as the words fell, the empress suddenly stood up, raised his hand and waved.
Suddenly, several imperial guards walked in quickly, and the two ministers who were speaking at that time hurriedly knelt on the ground with trembling bodies, kowtowing in panic and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry... Went around me.."
"Your Majesty, what we are talking about is exactly what the people of the Imperial City are saying... Your Majesty..."
However, in the face of the requests of the two ministers, the male emperor couldn't listen to it at all, and at this moment, his face was extremely cold, and his body was even more murderous.
Soon, the two ministers were pulled out of the hall, and within a few seconds, the loud pleas came to an abrupt end, and then the two heads were lifted.
At that moment, seeing the heads of the two ministers being presented, all of a sudden, the other civil and military ministers standing on both sides were all silent, and they didn't dare to speak rashly.
At this time, many ministers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out about the ruthlessness of the empress, and many ministers also had opinions about the empress in their hearts, and their original loyalty began to waver at this moment.
At this moment, the male emperor, because of Lin Bai's matter, has been carried away by anger, completely irrational, completely unaware that his persistence is in exchange for the instability of the throne.
"Is there anyone else, what are you talking about?" At this moment, the empress looked at the heads of the two ministers lightly, looked around sharply, and asked coldly.
No one dared to speak, and the entire hall was dead silent.
"Good!"
The empress took a deep breath, and then announced in a cold tone: "The traitor Lin Bai, coercing the princess to escape from the palace is a great crime, I have decided to send everyone from the Sun and Moon who are imprisoned in the prison to march to the streets of the Imperial City by the Praetorian Guard..."
Speaking of this, the empress's eyes were extremely fierce, and there was a kind of madness: "Those people, don't you say that I am perverse? I just want the people of the world to see what happens if I offend the royal Tianwei, after the sun and the moon send everyone to parade through the streets, they will all tie me to the city wall to show the public, and after three days, all of them will behead me... When the time comes, I will see who else dares to desecrate my imperial authority."
"Your Majesty is wise..."
Suddenly, hearing the words of the empress, many ministers had complicated faces, but they still knelt on the ground in unison and shouted Shengming.
Looking at the civil and military minister who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, a smile appeared on the cold face of the empress, and then he said to the eunuch beside him: "The Chuan Wei army came up to meet you."
"Yes. The eunuch did not dare to slack off, and after receiving the order, he hurried out of the main hall.
Soon, the guards with a panicked face were brought in and entered the main hall, and the guards did not dare to look at the empress, so they knelt there and said, "Humble guards, see Your Majesty." ”
When the news of Xiang Aotian's killing came, the entire Praetorian Guard was in a panic, but the guards were extremely excited, as soon as Xiang Aotian died, he was expected to be able to rise to the position of the orthodox leader... However, what happened today, the male emperor Long Yan was furious, and he had just cut down two ministers who had given advice, so while Wei Jun was excited, he was also unspeakably apprehensive in his heart.
