Chapter 1196: To the World, to the People, Apologize!
Suddenly, the people around them panicked and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to say something, but as soon as Pei Yuanhao raised his hand, he prevented everyone from having the opportunity to speak.
His face was pale, and after a long time, he slowly said, "So, what you want to sue today is actually me." ”
"Not bad"
At this moment, cold sweat broke out all over my body.
I never imagined that Zha Bixing would be so bold and sue Chang Yanbai and Nangong Jinhong, which has shocked the ministers, but I never imagined that he would even sue Pei Yuanhao.
How bold he was
Moreover, "lax governance", "great joy", "superficial articles", even one sentence is enough to make Pei Yuanhao furious, and it is more likely to lead to the catastrophe of exterminating the nine clans, and he is actually in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, in front of tens of millions of ordinary people, pointing at Pei Yuanhao's mistakes.
I even think that he will simply rely on his own art and boldness, directly scold the emperor, and run away after this addiction
However, looking at the bottom of the long steps, he still stood there steadily, and on that face that was different from ordinary people, there was no usual hippie smile, but solemn, looking at Pei Yuanhao on the high platform with burning eyes.
When I looked back at Pei Yuanhao, I felt that his breathing was chaotic, his chest was rising and falling violently, as if he was about to be unable to suppress the anger in his chest, and the Yu Gonggong next to him had already been so frightened that his face was pale, and he didn't even dare to shout loudly to cure Bixing's crime, so he knelt in front of him and said carefully: "Your Majesty"
Pei Yuanhao's eyes were red, and he looked at Zha Bixing fiercely.
"Hello, good"
At this moment, my heart was in my throat, and I saw him flick his sleeves suddenly, turn around and leave.
The people behind him all panicked and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Pei Yuanhao ignored none of them, pushing everyone away as he walked, I thought he was going to leave the main hall, but he didn't go to the side, but walked straight to the gate of the main hall behind him, the officials and women on both sides retreated one after another, I saw him go straight to the door of the main hall, pushed open the door and walked in, and then the door slammed shut.
The sound of the door closing, like thunder, startled the people around him.
Immediately, a voice came from the crowd
"It's just a big rebellion"
There are too many people, and at a glance, I can't tell who said this, but this is exactly the portrayal of everyone's hearts at this moment
But at this time, after a moment of panic, all the people were quiet again.
I shuddered slightly, turned my head, and saw that all the people were looking at me.
This time, I immediately came back to my senses.
They are not polite, nor do they leave room for Chabixing, but just now, I conveyed to Pei Yuanhao the message that Xichuan intends to make friends with the imperial court, Chabixing is the person who brought this message, if all the people now ask to kill Chabixing, on the surface, it will naturally seem to be angry for the emperor, but in fact, it will cut off the road that Xichuan and the imperial court can befriend.
They had already seen that Pei Yuanhao was angry, but after getting angry, no one could guess how he would deal with Zha Bixing and how he would deal with his relationship with Xichuan, so at this time, no one dared to speak rashly.
I stood in front of the main hall, only to feel the cold wind poured straight into my clothes, and when I looked up, I found that it was not early, the sun had slowly begun to slant westward, and the sun brought some blood, shining on the snow-white steps, and it seemed that some blood was faintly revealed.
Time passes little by little.
After the door was closed, it was never opened again, many people gathered at the door, but none of them dared to come up to the front area and knock on the door, Yu Gonggong walked to the door with a few little eunuchs, and listened to orders at any time, but none of them dared to enter rashly.
I turned around and saw Zhabixing in the square, he should be the one who was under the most pressure at the moment, but instead he smiled and held the shape in his hand, he didn't put it down for so long, he didn't feel tired, he saw me looking at him, looked up and smiled at me.
I sighed with deep apprehension.
Then, I saw Nangong Jinhong kneeling in the center of the long steps, he and the officials behind him looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on with Pei Yuanhao, they looked at the top, and then looked down, obviously kneeling for a long time, the old minister was also a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously wanted to stand up.
However, just as he was about to move, he saw Chang Yanbai, who had been kneeling not far from him.
From the beginning of the complaint of Chabixing, this master has been kneeling here, motionless, and has not even said a word to defend himself, although Chabixing was the first to sue him, but he is the quietest one, and even now, he is motionless.
Chang Qing also kept looking at her father, her eyes were full of concern and worry, but she didn't go over, just turned her head and looked at the big hall with the door closed.
Nangong Jinhong saw Chang Yanbai like this, he gritted his teeth, and could only continue to kneel there without moving.
He didn't move, and those who followed him to cry out for grievances didn't dare to move, and they all continued to kneel there.
At this time, in front of the main hall, several officials knelt down towards the gate one after another, I was far away, only saw a few of them in the imperial history, all kneeling at the gate, they knelt, other officials could not, and they all knelt down, one after another, all the civil and military officials in front of the main hall, the princess and the wife all knelt on the ground.
In this way, the scene is somewhat spectacular.
I was at the back, listening to the other end of the square, the sound outside the palace gate was also a little wrong, looking back, none of those ordinary people had left, but none of them spoke up again, just standing quietly outside, thousands of pairs of eyes staring straight at the hall, the closed vermilion lacquer door.
At this moment, my heart also tightened.
Pei Yuanhao, what will you do?
Although Zha Bixing's behavior is uninhibited, but this time he sued the imperial court, every word and every word he said was the hearts of the common people, and it can be said that he sued the imperial court in this way, in fact, he asked for the people's life; and in the face of this sue for the officials, and even the people for the supreme Ninety-Five, his attitude is also the attitude towards all the people in the world.
At this moment, anything he does or says will be imprinted in the hearts of the people of the world
He, what will he do
Thinking of this, my breathing became tighter and tighter, watching the time pass little by little, the sunset shining on the white marble railing behind me, the shadow sprinkled on the ground, and moving little by little, everyone stopped breathing and looked at the gate.
The sky is getting darker, the wind is getting colder.
But at this time, no one could even light a torch, because all the people knelt in front of the main hall, Ren Beifeng blew his clothes messy, and let the cold slowly penetrate his body.
Finally, a long hoarse roar came from ahead.
Everyone raised their heads, and saw that the door that had been closed for an unknown amount of time slowly opened, and Pei Yuanhao's heavy face appeared in the gate, at this moment, the faint light seemed to be brighter, and his eyes were shining.
I looked at him, sweating a little nervously.
He finally came out.
What will he do
As soon as the door opened, Father-in-law Yu and the others all greeted him, carefully shouting "Emperor", and wanted to reach out to help him, but Pei Yuanhao stopped their movements as soon as he raised his hand, and he stepped out of the threshold and walked over step by step.
Along the way, all the officials and princes who were kneeling on the ground moved their knees and palms in his direction, and finally, he walked to the front of the long steps, looked at Chang Yanbai and Nangong Jinhong below, and then looked at the square, still holding the shape of Zha Bixing, and finally, looked at the sky that became a little dark.
He said slowly: "It's me, and it's up to the world." ”
As soon as he said this, all the people around him changed their faces
"The Emperor"
"The emperor must not say that"
"The emperor forgives his sins, but the ministers are incompetent"
"The Emperor"
“”
They were eagerly dissuading, but Pei Yuanhao always stood there, without any expression on his face, and said slowly: "The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light." Since I ascended the throne, I have devoted myself to the New Deal, just to let the common people have that one acre and three points of land, so that the cultivators can have their land, but I didn't expect that it would be a burden to all the people. It's my fault. ”
"I am here, to the world, to the people, to apologize"
With that, he slowly knelt down.
At this moment, I felt a red light appear in the sky.
When I looked up, it was the sunset, and the most rays of sunlight were struggling to fall into the West Mountain, but that touch of red exuded the last brilliance, shining on Pei Yuanhao's body, and also illuminating everyone's eyes, those civil and military officials all knelt on the ground again, kowtowing with a bang.
"Emperor, Emperor"
"The ministers are guilty, and the ministers are guilty"
After Pei Yuanhao knelt down, he slowly straightened up and said expressionlessly: "The people's sufferings cannot reach the heavens, and the orders of the Son of Heaven have failed to govern the world. You, as parents and officials, ignore the suffering of the people, and of course you are guilty."
As soon as these words came out, all the people fell silent again.
They were clamoring loudly before, but at this moment, when Pei Yuanhao really wanted to ask for the guilt, no one dared to talk.
At this moment, a calm and deep voice said, "The old minister is guilty. ”
As soon as I heard this voice, my heart trembled violently, and when I looked up, I saw that it was Chang Yanbai, who was kneeling under the long steps, and at this moment he slowly knelt down, and his forehead touched the ground between his ten fingers, making a muffled sound
