The prince cautiously raised his head, saw that his father was pondering, and continued: "Erchen heard that there are nearly 100 people from the Li clan who were executed today, most of them are young children of the family, ignorant children, and they are widely implicated.

As soon as the prince's words fell, the atmosphere fell into a depression, and the ministers knew that although His Royal Highness the prince was talking about his own marriage, he was pleading for the Li family in his words, hoping that His Majesty would open up.

An official of the Imperial Historical Observatory stepped forward and said: "Your Highness's words are wrong, the Li family is a crime and deserves death, and God is responsible, it is to eliminate harm for the people with His Majesty, and it is a great good thing, how can it be said that it is a great worry for the country, and the minister thinks that this is a great fortune for the country." ”

Yang Yu looked up, the people of Yushitai liked to pick bones in eggs the most, that was Lord Xu, who liked to impeach the Qiao family and the queen the most, with a coffin face.

One of the people from the Imperial History Observatory stood up, and the other immediately followed: "Your Majesty has decided to behead the Li family, is it to warn the ministers, take this as a warning, but the prince is questioning Your Majesty's decision?" ”

The official Shangshu Yuan Chongxu hesitated for a moment, glanced at an official, and the lord stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just merciful and has no intention of questioning His Majesty's decision. ”

After that, several adults stepped forward to speak for the prince, and some directly interceded for the Li family.

The emperor was silent, high on the throne, his expression was calm, he didn't say a word, Yang Yu's palms were covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look at his father's expression.

His Royal Highness discussed for a long time, and the emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon's head, Rong Xigui took a step forward and swiped his hand, and His Highness's chaotic ministers were silent.

The emperor straightened up and asked the prince bluntly: "Are you really interceding for the Li family?" ”

Yang Yu raised his head, his father was sitting on the throne, too far away, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

He remembered his father, the emperor, and would patiently teach him to learn calligraphy, teach him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and teach him to govern the country.

Without the imperial court of the queen mother, he gradually grew up, and his father became farther and farther away.

Since then, the father and son have been as estranged as monarchs and ministers.

He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Father, the Li family is full of private pockets, and he does not cultivate, and the crime deserves death, and the sons dare not intercede for it, however, the anger of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses, thousands of miles of blood, the sons beg their fathers to calm their anger, don't let the children cry at night, the courtiers tremble, the people are uneasy, the sons and daughters have the heart of the fist, and they hope that the father and the emperor will see it." ”

At the end of these words, there was silence in the court. Yushitai is a bunch of old fritters, and the prince has talked about this, and then burying it will only make His Majesty dissatisfied.

Zuo Hede nodded very gratefully, His Royal Highness the Prince, knowing it with reason, moving it with affection, it can be regarded as enlightened.

This world, after all, is still Your Majesty's, Your Majesty is the king for one day, the prince can only be a minister, the relationship between father and son and the monarch and ministers is very delicate, not too close, not too far.

The emperor was silent for a long time, looking at the prince who was kneeling on the ground.

He was both relieved and melancholy in his heart—the crown prince he had so earnestly hoped for had also learned to put on a mask on him, his father.

Around the emperor, there are too many people with ill intentions, so ordinary people say that the emperor is moody and accompanies the king like a tiger. The emperor does not wear a mask, how to deal with the suspicion of the courtiers.

He can't let the prince see through his mind, he wants the prince to learn to guess the king's heart, learn to judge the situation, and learn to forbear. When he ascends the throne, he will know that as an emperor, there is something he has no choice but to do.

However, every time his son becomes smarter and more like himself, he will also have a sense of powerlessness and control.

In the world of this great beam, if the prince wants to take it in his hands, it is no longer up to him alone.

The emperor slowly raised his hand and ordered: "The men in the Li clan will be beheaded at noon, and the female dependents of the family will not be enslaved in the court." ”

Capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and the emperor's anger must always have an outlet.

This disposition, even Yu Shitai has nothing to say.

Seeing that the emperor showed signs of relenting, Lord Yu stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a matter to ask for, how to deal with the murder of His Royal Highness King Xi's Liu family?" "After all, murdering the emperor's heir is a big crime, and it is up to the emperor to decide.

Yang Yu, who had just retreated to the lineup, just breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart immediately rose to his throat again.

The emperor's gaze gently swept over his son, his palm caressed the dragon's head, and he was silent in his heart-That's it, it doesn't matter if the prince instructed the Liu family, since he has a heart, the father and the emperor will deal with it for him.

The Emperor's voice was calm: "Death." ”

Yang Yu was excited, and his body unconsciously stepped forward: "Father, ......"

Seeing that something was wrong, Yuan Chongxu hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted the prince's words: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

The crown prince was blocked, and the next words could not be said anyway - Yuan Shangshu was warning him that there was no need to say any more.

To pardon the daughters of the Li family, His Majesty has already made concessions to the prince, and if he saves another Liu family, His Majesty will suspect the prince's intentions.

Yang Yu didn't expect his father to be so ruthless to the Liu family who murdered King Xi, and he was cold all over, and his mind was full of confusion.

- Isn't it ridiculous to save the Li family, but not the Liu family.

He didn't dare to imagine how disappointed Wonyeol would be when he returned.

If Yuan Lie was here, would he say it better, say it more wisely, and successfully save the Liu family?

What was wrong with him?

In the East Palace, Yuan Lie knelt on the couch and played chess with himself, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were densely packed with each other, going deep into the hinterland, biting each other, and they were always evenly matched.

Liu Zhuo walked into the hall lightly and knelt on the ground: "Yuan Gongzi, Your Majesty has issued an order to give death to the family of the Liu family. ”

Yuan Lie's hand slowly stopped, and finally fell, and black went first, and finally won a white piece.

He closed his eyes - they had all miscalculated.

Regardless of whether the Liu family was instructed by the crown prince or not, His Majesty had already moved to kill at the very beginning.

If it was instructed by the crown prince, His Majesty wanted to teach the prince a lesson in person, and also to teach him a lesson to Yuan Lie - the chess player should not have compassion for the chess pieces, let alone leave himself with troubles and handles.

If it wasn't for the prince's instructions, there would be no need to keep it, murdering the emperor's heir, the crime is unforgivable, and even the nine clans are not exaggerated.

Your Majesty's killing of the Li family and the death of the Liu family is already the greatest forbearance and protection for the prince, and it is also a warning-

The emperor's forbearance also ended here.

As noon approached, all the members of the Li clan were shackled, kneeling on the Xingtai, wearing white prison uniforms, with death cards stuck around their necks, and their eyes were covered with black cloths.

The crowd of onlookers was like a sea, and hundreds of officers and soldiers to prevent the kidnapping of prisoners and maintain order at the execution site were heavily guarded, and the Li clan had hundreds of people, which was extremely spectacular.
