Chapter 701: No Concessions

"Yiling-kun..."

"Passing on the Imperial Doctor."

"Ziqi, you disloyal and unfilial person, you have even been involved in Yiling Jun so far, what face do you have to live in the world?"

"You rebellious son, you actually secretly fornicate with the enemy country for your father!"

As soon as Yilingjun fell, the people in the palace immediately let out various exclamations, and then, many people left their positions and quickly surrounded Yilingjun.

Many people even took advantage of the chaos to rush into the arrested crowd and punch and kick their children and brothers.

For a time, there was a great chaos in the temple.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai was immediately furious, and immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, cut off a corner of the table with a sword, and shouted: "Bastard things, above the main hall, you are in a mess, do you put the widow in your eyes." ”

As soon as the ministers heard the King of Chu drinking violently, and saw the King of Chu holding Tai'a in his hand, with a murderous appearance, their whole bodies immediately stiffened, and then they all bowed down and said: "The ministers are waiting for the death penalty." ”

Xiong Huai's eyes glared at the ministers, and when he saw that everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads, he withdrew his sword and commanded loudly: "Now that the matter has not yet been decided, the widow will never wronged any good person, so the widow will investigate this matter clearly and find out clearly." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai paused and said, "Spread the edict, place the Emperor of Yiling in the side hall, and ask the imperial doctor to come and treat the Emperor of Yiling." In addition, the court discussion continued, and the widow personally interrogated him in the palace today, so that Ying Jun could confront these people. ”

As soon as Xiong Huai's voice fell, Yiling Jun, who was unconscious on the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood again.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai's heart was cold.

sneered: If you want to abandon the car to protect the handsome and survive with a broken tail, the widow will not give you this opportunity.

Then, after the Yiling Jun was carried away by the guards, Xiong Huai asked the person who had been beaten beyond recognition and was called Ziqi, "Who are you and what is your relationship with the Yiling Jun?" ”

Ziqi was terrified, and then settled down, and wept and said: "The minister is the grandson of the king of Yiling!" ”

"The grandson of the Emperor of Yiling?" Xiong Huai's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and then asked: "Ying Jun and the others said that you and others defected to the Qin State and intended to commit treason, but there is such a thing." ”

Ziqi froze for a moment, and saw that everyone in the hall was staring at him, and he was silent for a moment, and then responded: "Back to the king, there is no such thing!" The minister was just confused for a while, so he took refuge in Gongzi Zilan, and the minister had no intention of defecting to the Qin State, let alone betraying the Chu State. ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Defecting to Zilan and taking refuge in the Qin State are completely different things, at least they did not directly betray the Chu State, even if the King of Chu is punished, it will not affect the whole clan.

After all, the king of Chu's own son betrayed the state of Chu and is still staying in the state of Qin!

"Sophistry!" When Xiong Huai heard this, he was immediately furious and said: "That rebel son has long been declared a rebel by the widow, and those who fornicate with him will be punished for treason, and you will not only have adultery with him, but also serve him, and lead the army to besiege Xiangyang, this is not treason, what is this?" ”

When Ziqi heard this, his face was bloodless.

Then, he looked left and right, and saw that all the ministers in the palace looked at him with the eyes of a dead man, their eyes cold and indifferent.

Seeing this, Ziqi's whole body softened.

After a pause, he wept and bowed to the king of Chu: "Great king, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, not long ago Gongzi Zilan wrote a letter to the minister in Deng County, inviting the minister to serve him. The criminal minister was confused for a while, thinking that Gongzi Zilan was the Ming monarch who could save the Chu State, so he went to Deng County privately to serve Gongzi. The sin of the minister deserves death, please give the king death. ”

After saying that, after bowing, he spoke again: "The king, it is not a pity for the death of the minister, but there is a word, please listen to the king." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, looked at Ziqi for a long time, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ziqi said: "King, before the six countries besieged the Chu State, the Chu State was in danger, and the whole country did not know what the way out was. Then the Qin army broke through Hanzhong and killed the general, and then, the Qin-Han coalition army broke the Danxi Chu army, and then drove straight into Xiangyang, which was a hundred miles away from Yancheng.

At this time, it was Gongzi Zilan who was running around the country, urging all countries to withdraw their troops from the Chu State, intending to use a small price to protect the Chu State and the king. This is the helpless act of the son, the loyalty of the prince to the Chu State, and the filial piety of the prince to the king.

It's just that Gongzi didn't know that the king was intelligent and intelligent, as wise as the deep sea, and he could defeat the alliance of the six countries with the power of Chu State. When Childe learned about this, he was full of remorse.

The minister has nothing else to ask for, but to be able to say the son's heart in front of the king, hoping that the king can forgive the son, so that the minister dies without regrets. ”

Xiong Huai looked at Ziqi stunned for a moment, not wanting him to be able to speak skillfully at such a juncture, and even planned to move people with emotion, intending to limit their charges of taking refuge in Zilan to the minimum.

This guy is definitely the heir carefully cultivated by Yiling Jun.

At this time, Xijun saw that the King of Chu looked at Ziqi in a daze, and did not speak, thinking that the King of Chu was aroused by Ziqi to lick the calf.

So, he immediately showed a deeply moved look, and said with tears in his eyes: "King, although Gongzi Zilan's behavior is very inappropriate, he still has a filial piety to the king. ”

"Hahaha..." Xiong Huai immediately laughed when he heard this, and the laughter continued, scattered in the main hall for a long time.

When the ministers in the palace heard King Chu's unbridled laughter, they immediately suppressed their breathing and closed their mouths tightly.

Xijun, who had just spoken, was so frightened that he lay directly on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

After Xiong Huai laughed for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous." If he is a prince of a country, in the face of the siege of various countries, he can openly explain the betrayal of the country as a curve to save the country. So, next time, in the face of a national disaster, who can resist to the end?

In the past, the state of Wu broke through the capital of our Chu state, at that time, the country had been destroyed by the state of Wu, and many sons of King Zhao and King Ping had never surrendered to the state of Wu and saved the country, but fought to the end. What's more, this time, my Chu State is just a small defeat. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai's sharp gaze swept over the ministers, and said: "No matter what the reason, treason is the bottom line, if anyone is treason, no matter what status, any reason, must die."

Even if he is the widow's son-in-law, it is the same. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked around the ministers, and then instructed Fan Huan: "Xianyin, the widow asked you to immediately bring a heavy gift to the Qin State tomorrow, and find the King of Qin to return to Zilan, so he said that the widow is willing to use half of Danyang in exchange for Zilan, even if it is just a corpse, he must be brought back." ”

Fan Huan didn't dare to squeak when he heard this, and now that the King of Chu was angry, he didn't dare to respond.

Before, the king of Chu had always ignored Gongzi Zilan, and now the ministers talked about Gongzi Zilan in order to escape the charge, and the king of Chu was only temporarily provoked, so he said that he wanted to force Zilan to death.

If he inherits it, it will be a sin whether it succeeds or fails.

On the other side, Xiong Huai saw that Fan Huan didn't talk, and immediately said angrily: "What, isn't the widow's words useless, or Xianqing wants the widow to say it a second time." ”

When Fan Huan heard this, he immediately bowed down in horror and said, "Only! ”

Seeing this, Xiong Huai nodded.

At the same time, the ministers in the palace were in a cold sweat when they heard it.

Now the king of Chu doesn't even let go of his second son, no, it should be Ziqi who forced Zilan to death.

So, next, will King Chu let others go?
