1186 Sacrifice Yourself, or Spare the Queen?
However, the emperor was not angry, and he couldn't even see it at all. (The fastest and most stable update dìng)
The emperor just stared at him without any emotion, and when all the courtiers in the audience were silent without even a trace of breathing, and his cough was embarrassed to sound again, he said calmly, almost word by word: "King Xian, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is not only a dead rule set by the ancestors, but also a law written in black and white, and there has been no change from ancient times to the present. You pointed at me in public, and insulted me madly, not only violating the rules of your ancestors, but also violating the law, you say, should you be punished? ”
"This, this ......" The idle king's face turned slightly pale, and he was speechless for a while.
And the emperor's gaze on him was like an arrow from the execution ground, straight to the heart of him, a death row prisoner, and he had no way to dodge.
He couldn't speak, but the emperor stared at him like this and didn't speak, and there were so many relatives, colleagues, and subordinates watching at the scene, how embarrassed did he be?
Time passed little by little, and everyone's foreheads were oozing sweat, and the more they seeped, the more they seeped, how long did this strange atmosphere last?
Although it was already summer, the weather was a little hot, but it was still morning, and they stayed in the huge palace, and they did not feel hot at all, but they felt more stuffy than under the scorching sun.
Please, whatever, someone to break this deadlock quickly?
Finally, another member of the royal family couldn't help it, and said in a very gentle and good voice: "Your Majesty, the idle king is just a ......"
"Uncle Feng Shan, I didn't ask you." Qiu Guhan interrupted him without being salty, "Do you also want to violate the rules and laws of your ancestors, learn from King Xian, and commit a crime of disrespect?" ”
Feng Shanbo has always liked to be a good man and muddy, and he also wants to round the field at this time, but his identity and status are not particularly high, and his temper is not particularly hard.
Then, Qiu Guhan slapped the table suddenly, and in the heartbeat of everyone, he said sharply to the idle king: "Idle king, you say, should you be punished?" ”
The idle king jumped and said hesitantly: "The ministers just said such a sentence, why didn't the emperor forgive......"
"You insulted me in public, openly broke the rules and laws, but you felt that this was a trivial matter, and I should not be held accountable," Qiu Guhan's eyes were cold, his tone was like a knife, and his eyebrows were full of invisible cold and evil breath, "And my queen has no friendship with you, let alone scolded you, bullied you, harmed you, and was still my savior, but you led the crowd to attack my queen, * After I was abolished, I didn't forgive, isn't it too much to deceive people?" ”
The idle king subconsciously shrank for a moment, not daring to meet his gaze, but he still defended himself: "But the queen is indeed ......"
But Qiu Guhan didn't let him continue, and said in an extremely cold voice: "I am the king of a country, and I must be fair in everything, the queen is out of modesty, and she should be abolished according to the rules, so if you lose your words in court and insult the monarch, you should be executed according to the rules!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the stone was shattered.
All the ministers were shocked and shocked, and the idle king was also stunned.
Emperor...... Seriously?
Impossible, right? It's impossible to kill such a senior clan relative because of a few impulsive gaffes, right?
However, they soon realized that it was entirely possible!
Because, the murderous aura and ruthlessness emanating from the emperor's body are too violent, and they, the old foxes who have read all the disputes, are too familiar with such eyes and breath.
"Idle King" When everyone was stunned, Qiu Guhan stretched out his voice again, and said in a voice full of disgust and murderous aura, "I finally ask you, do you want me to punish you according to the rules set by my ancestors?" ”
The idle king didn't know how he got his voice back: "The minister is your uncle, do you want to kill your uncle because he said a few wrong words?" ”
"Is my uncle's life more important than the rules of my ancestors?" Qiu Guhan was smiling, but there was no smile on his face, "Besides, if I can ruthlessly abandon my wife, who has saved my life many times and was framed by thieves, can I still have the heart to punish you who took the initiative to insult me?" ”
The idle king was speechless.
Qiu Guhan waited for a while and said, "King Xian, are you acquiescing?" That being the case, I will immediately decree that you will be stripped of your title and that you will be sent to prison to be beheaded! ”
He did what he said: "Shane, bring pen and ink and the decree!" ”
Once he drafts the holy decree and covers it with the jade seal, there will be no jokes for you.
Everyone looks at the idle king, will the idle king compromise? Wouldn't it?
But no one interceded for him.
Because, although the idle king has a high rank in the royal family, he does not have any real position and real power, to put it bluntly, he is an idle prince who eats a lot of money, and he is so old, who wants to offend the emperor who wants to find someone to be angry for an old prince who has no real power?
Therefore, they really hope that the idle king will hold on and sacrifice himself for the sake of the queen's plan, after all, he is also very old, isn't he?
As soon as he dies, the emperor will have no way to abolish the queen without following the rules of his ancestors, and he will have the notoriety of executing his elders, isn't it good?
Therefore, even after weighing back and forth between his life and the downfall of the queen, even the royal companions he brought with him still felt that he could not let go of the opportunity to bring down the queen, so he was silent.
The idle king's eyes were black, his body was weak, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted, and prayed in his heart that everyone would come and intercede for him.
Where, however, his begging gaze looked, people looked away, pretending not to see him.
He couldn't help but be stunned, these bastards actually watched him die?
said that if we work together, we must pull the queen off the horse?
They don't have any righteousness and conscience, do they?
He looked ahead again, in the hall, the emperor had already begun to write hard, and the murderous aura coming from there was so obvious, he didn't want to gamble with his life The emperor was scaring him.
So, is the emperor scaring him?
Did the emperor really do the thing of executing the elders for a few disrespectful words?
Suddenly, he smiled a little sadly, what could he not do?
He has been idle for too long and forgot one thing: the emperor is a member of the royal family, and the emperor only ascended the throne after getting rid of his brother, so the emperor can even get rid of his own brother, how can he take him as an idle old man in his eyes?
Don't say that the emperor is the relatives and friends who have a good relationship with him at the scene, and who really takes him seriously?
After all, he was just being used once!
At this age, why can't you understand this kind of thing?
Amusing! Ridiculous!
For a while, he was disheartened, and his "ambition" to deal with the affairs of the harem and the court was suddenly wiped out.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" He knelt down, his hands fell to the ground, his forehead touched the ground, and his tone was extremely respectful, "Chen has figured it out, the rules of the ancestors are indeed important, but no matter how important they are, they are not as important as the love of husband and wife, family and life-saving grace!" The minister now believes that the emperor should not abandon the queen who has the grace to save her life to the emperor, knowing the grace and repaying the favor, not abandoning is the biggest rule in the world, and what the minister just said is just an impulse, not a heart, and please ask the emperor to be magnanimous, for the sake of the minister's mistake can be corrected, he spared the minister this time, and the minister will never do it again in the future! ”
