Chapter 1060: Intercession
The leader of the Praetorian Guard entered the main hall with a murderous aura at this time.
He walked to the center of the hall and saluted: "Your Majesty, the rebels of more than 50,000 have all surrendered, please sentence Your Majesty." ”
The king's face was impassive, but he was shocked in his heart.
The strength of the Praetorian Guard, he knows, the palace is full of 10,000 Praetorian Guards, but at this moment, the leader of the Praetorian Guard told him that the rebels have all been arrested, how can this not shock him!
Xiao Kuai knew the reason because of the help of Uncle Qin and Uncle Li that he was able to control the rebels so quickly, so he explained the king's confusion: "Grandfather is the person who helped me, and he is also the noble person of my grandson. ”
The king and his courtiers wondered who the crown prince was talking about to help him.
There is also a mysterious person who is just above the main hall and makes hundreds of soldiers in the hall bleed from their mouths, ears and noses just by their voices.
The king retracted his thoughts, and in his mind had already thought of the punishment of fifty thousand soldiers.
Although 50,000 soldiers will account for a large proportion of the strength of the Qiang and Wu States, but at this time is an extraordinary period, the king will use the lives of these 50,000 soldiers to pave the way for the crown prince, so that he can go more steadily and further on the road in the future.
Therefore, the lives of 50,000 rebel soldiers must be killed.
The king spoke leisurely: "Rebels, there is no mercy for killing." ”
In the era of kingship, six words decided the life and death of 50,000 people.
The leader of the Praetorian Guard was stunned, but quickly reined in his emotions and bowed: "Yes." ”
Rebels, they really deserve to be killed.
It's just, 50,000 people, isn't it too much?
The leader of the Praetorian Guard retreated.
At this moment, Xiao Kuai spoke up and retained the leader of the Praetorian Guard: "General, slow down." ”
The leader of the Praetorian Guard stopped, looked at Xiao Kuai in confusion, and saluted: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?"
Xiao Kuai did not reply, but knelt down in the direction of the king, and his humble voice resounded throughout the hall: "Grandfather, about 50,000 soldiers' lives, you can't kill them." ”
"Tianze got up quickly, and he had something to say. The king spoke weakly, for fear that the cold on the ground would freeze his good grandson.
"Grandfather, grandson is fine. Xiao Kuai didn't get up, he said: "The 50,000 rebels are just ordinary soldiers, they just follow orders, as the so-called military orders are like mountains, they are forced to rebel, and the grandson asks his grandfather to give the 50,000 soldiers a chance to be exempted from the death penalty as the crown prince." ”
Ming Fei nodded appreciatively.
If the crown prince killed 50,000 soldiers on his first day in office, although these 50,000 soldiers were rebels, although the person who ordered it was not the crown prince, it would still make people uncomfortable with the crown prince.
Now, the crown prince personally pleads, not only will the 50,000 soldiers be grateful to the crown prince, but even the ministers above the court will have a new understanding of the crown prince.
This is a big-hearted crown prince who is saved by the rebels' intercession for the murder of his grandfather, his mother, and himself.
It can be seen that although the crown prince is making a risky move, he is on the right track.
"Tianze, the rebels rebel conspired against him and deserved to be executed. The king said angrily, his voice soft, but weighty.
This weight is the momentum of being the king of a country, and it has nothing to do with the level of the voice.
The grandson promised that the 50,000 soldiers would never commit treason and provoke the authority of the royal family in the future, and implored his grandfather to fulfill his grandson. Although Xiao Kuai spoke without humility, giving people a feeling as calm as a mountain, only he knew that his palms were full of sweat, and the placket on his body was already wet.
