Chapter 378: You're All Going to Die
Riding on a war horse, the moment he stepped into the Taiji Palace, Ji Ping's heart was suddenly shocked, this is the feeling he has been looking forward to for many years, and he can calmly walk into this hall that symbolizes the supreme power of Dayan, and today it can finally be realized. Xiao Wu and a hundred guards followed behind Ji Ping, also looking nervous and a little proud.
"Bold Ji Ping, this is the Taiji Palace, how can I allow you to go wild, why don't you get off the horse quickly-" Just when everyone was shocked by Ji Ping's strength, Ye Qingchen strode forward and shouted loudly in the face of Ji Ping.
As a scholar and a clan admired by the world's scholars, Ye Qingzhi pays more attention to the interests of the monarch and the ministers and loyalty and filial piety.
Ye Qingzhi roared like this, Bai Jin and Pei Wenju and others in the Taiji Hall also woke up, looking at Ji Ping with gloomy faces, they didn't expect that Ji Ping was not only bold enough to rebel, but also dared to ride a horse into the Taiji Palace, even the kings of the Great Yan Dynasty had never done this, this was not only a slander against the imperial power, but also a slander against the monarchs of the Great Yan Dynasty.
"Shut up, old thing, you know what!" Ji Ping said angrily, he looked at Ye Qingzhi angrily, and he wanted to eat Ye Qingzhi raw, "You are just a group of sanctimonious hypocrites, what qualifications do you have to say that this king is not?" Yes, this king is really rebellious today, not only wants to rebel and seize the throne, but also rode a horse to the Taiji Palace. But so what? Isn't it true that in Dayan, who has the strength and who has the final say? Otherwise, why did Lao Jiu let Lao Jiu ascend the throne and become emperor, don't think that what is written on the emperor's holy decree of his father, this king doesn't know; Otherwise, why did the fourth child let Lao Jiu be the king of the council, and be the prince above 10,000 people under one person, and we, the brothers who are of the same heart as him, should still be suspicious? β
Speaking of this, Ji Ping, who had a hideous face, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to reprimand, "Hehe, you haven't been hypocrites in front of Lao Jiu's six hundred thousand Northern Liao Iron Cavalry, and you don't dare to say anything about Lao Jiu's every move?" β
"Ji Ping, don't make any excuses for your own power and seizure." Bai Jin's face turned pale by Ji Ping's words, "Say a thousand, say ten thousand, or the desire for power in your heart, the Great Yan Ji clan has descendants like you, you have humiliated the emperor today!" β
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's edict is on Bai Jin-" Suddenly, just before Ji Ping could reprimand Bai Jin, Zhao Deyan on the side immediately reminded Ji Ping. As soon as the words fell, he and Guo Xing walked quickly to Ji Ping's side.
"Take them down-" Ji Ping suddenly realized, and immediately gave an order like Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu led twenty rebel soldiers forward and surrounded Bai Jin, Pei Wenju, Ye Qingzhi and others.
"Also, Privy Envoy Li has been imprisoned by them, Your Highness will send someone to rescue him!" Guo Xing said. was robbed of the first credit by Zhao Deyan, and he could only say about Li Muzhi's imprisonment and express his position and attitude to Ji Ping.
"No wonder, as soon as this king enters the main hall, he can't see General Li-" Ji Ping was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Muzhi to be imprisoned, so he ordered Xiao Wu to rescue Li Muzhi.
It's just that he didn't have Ji Qingchen from beginning to end, why wasn't Ji Qingchen in the main hall.
This made Bai Jin, Pei Wenju and others in the hall a little worried, and at the same time, Gu Qi beside him was very puzzled.
In a moment, Li Muzhi was rescued and came to the Taiji Hall with Xiao Wu, he was imprisoned in a small courtyard near the Taiji Palace, guarded by ten Praetorian Guards, Xiao Wu and his party of twenty people rushed into the small courtyard and solved the ten people with crossbow arrows.
Li Muzhi walked to the Taiji Hall, and was not surprised that Ji Ping surrounded Bai Jin and Pei Wenju, and he was also not surprised that Zhao Deyan and Guo Xing were beside Ji Ping. He had expected this result for a long time, and there must have been a few people who would see the wind make the rudder fall towards Ji Ping.
"Guo Shangshu, go and bring the edict in the hands of the Marquis of Jin!" Ji Ping glanced at Li Mu and said to Guo Xing. Guo Xing's body trembled when he heard this, but he still stepped forward without hesitation and took out the holy decree from Bai Jin's sleeve and handed it to Ji Ping.
"Bring me a brazier." Ji Ping said to the guards beside him, and slowly unfolded the edict that Ji Wen wrote before he died, when he saw the content above, his face became even more ugly, he instinctively guessed that Ji Wen would pass it on to Ji Qingchen, but now when he saw it with his own eyes, it was still a little difficult to accept this result.
"Sure enoughβ" Ji Ping spit out these two words fiercely, and did not speak again.
"Ji Ping, what do you want to do? This is His Majesty's edict, which has been written very clearly, so that Ji Qingchen, the king of parliament, will ascend the throne and become the emperor. If you want to be the emperor, don't think about it, you can dream! Pei Wenju said angrily, as Ji Wen's henchman, he and Ji Ping can't get along.
"Prime Minister-" Ji Ping sneered, "If you don't call yourself the emperor, how can you ascend the throne and claim the emperor, you don't have to worry about this matter, this king has his own preparations." However, this king can tell the prime minister how to punish the Pei family in the future, the family property will be confiscated, and all men will be official slaves, and women will be official prostitutes! β
"Ji Ping-" Pei Wenju was angry and angry, and only said in a half-loud voice, "The old man will definitely not let you go-"
As the seven great families of Dayan, since the founding of Dayan, they have enjoyed aristocratic treatment together with the Dayan Ji family, and they are the highest and most honorable families in addition to the Ji royal family, and Ji Ping wants to demote the men of their Pei family to official slaves, and the women to be official prostitutes, which is even more shameful for the Pei family to be killed.
Back then, even after the Seven Great Families made a big mistake, the monarchs of the Great Yan Dynasty never treated them like this!
Therefore, as soon as Ji Ping said this, Pei Wenju was not the only one who was angry, Bai Jin and Wang You on the side also trembled, and a trace of haze flashed in their eyes, and Li Muzhi on the side heard Ji Ping say this, he was also a little chilled. Because they understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, as long as Ji Ping opens the purge of the Pei family of the Seven Great Families, whether it is Ji Ping ascending the throne as emperor in the future, or the future monarchs, as long as the Seven Great Families make mistakes again, they will sooner or later deal with the Seven Great Families like this.
At the beginning, Cui Jingsheng and Empress Cui targeted Ji Qingchen in every possible way, wanting to put Ji Qingchen and die, even so, but when Ji Wen ascended the throne and became emperor, in addition to killing the first evil of the Cui family, half of the Cui family's property was confiscated, and the Cui family was not punished again.
But now Ji Ping wants to destroy the Pei family only because Pei Wenju finally Ji Wen, and finally Ji Qingchen after Ji Wen's death, how can this not make the heads of the seven major families present tremble.
Ji Wen, who saw everyone's reactions, laughed, thinking that the seven great families who were invincible at the beginning had become his own prisoners today, and he was frightened by his own words and lost the ruthlessness when he showed off his martial arts that day, which made Ji Ping very happy. Therefore, he laughed and glanced at Ji Wen's edict again and said, "This is the price you pay for opposing this kingβas for this edict?" If this king wants to say that he didn't, that Ji Wen didn't make an edict before he died, who would believe that he made an edict, and who would dare to believe that he made an edict? β
With that, he threw his edict into the brazier.
"You-" Ye Qingzhi said angrily, but he was already speechless with anger.
"Don'tβ" Wang You shouted, but it was too late. The edict was thrown into the raging fire and turned to ashes in an instant.
"Isn't this without an edict?" Seeing that the edict was burned to ashes, Ji Ping said with a faint smile. Suddenly, his words changed, "Of course, this king can give you a chance to make corrections, and later this king will convene a hundred civil and military officials, as long as you say to the civil and military officials in front of everyone that Ji Wen has not made an edict, and is ready to pass the throne to this king, you are the heroes of this king's ascension to the throne and emperor, this king will not only not cure your crimes, but also reward you, so that your children and grandchildren can enjoy the glory and wealth inexhaustibly, what do you think?" β
Seeing that no one spoke after he gave the conditions, Ji Ping said a little angrily, and he continued in a cold tone, "However, if you want to resist to the end, then there is only one result, that is, you--all-to-die!" β
When he said this, Ji Ping's face was gloomy, and his whole body was full of murderous energy, like a bloodthirsty demon god.
"Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, my generation should be honest in life and death, and I will never be in the same stream as you, a rebel and thief, you can dream!" Ye Qingzhi scolded, he was not afraid of Ji Ping at all.
"Escort him down, and wait until the king sees Lao Jiu before cleaning him up." Ji Ping said indignantly, and moved his gaze to Bai Jin and Pei Wenju, except for Ye Qingzhi, the two of them were the heads of the courtiers, as long as the two of them nodded, everything would be resolved.
"Ji Ping, don't dream, the old man won't be with you!" Bai Jin said in a stern tone.
"I, Pei Wenju, have been in the position of prime minister for more than 20 years, how can I be in the same league with a rebel and thief like you." Pei Wenju also said coldly, with countless killing intent faintly in his eyes.
"Since the two of you are also so uninteresting, don't blame this king for not giving you a chance." Ji Ping said angrily, "Escort them down and lock them up with Ye Qingzhi, and then dispose of them after this king ascends the throne." β
"No," Xiao Wu commanded.
But just when Bai Jin and Pei Wenju were about to be escorted out of the Taiji Palace, Ji Ping suddenly said, "Are the two of you in Lao Jiu's reinforcements?" β
Hearing Ji Ping ask this, Bai Jin and Pei Wenju were stunned, after Ji Ping entered the hall just now, he didn't ask where Ji Qingchen went, which made them wonder, now that Ji Ping took the initiative to mention Ji Qingchen, did he already know where Ji Qingchen went, or did he already think of a way to deal with Ji Qingchen?
"In order to ascend the throne and become emperor this time, this king has endured humiliation and planned for half a year, and all factors have been taken into account, do you think that with a little prestige of Lao Jiu in the army, he can control the 600,000 new army?" Ji Ping sneered, "But don't worry, Lao Jiu is also the younger brother of this king, this king will not kill him, doesn't he have a good relationship with the fourth child?" The king intended to fulfill the two of them by making them companions in the tomb! β
Before Bai Jin and Pei Wenju could say anything, they had already been escorted out of the eunuchs. Looking at the disappearing backs of the two, Ji Ping said to Xiao Wu beside him, "Take full control of the Imperial City, and it is rumored that the civil and military officials in the King's Landing City will die, and let them go to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters!" β
