Chapter 606: Aftermath
Ye Kun killed Xie Changfeng, and let Xie Rumo kill one of the Xie family if he didn't show up for a day, this incident caused an uproar in the capital, and everyone realized that it was different from the previous one, and the emperor was serious this time.
For a while, people's hearts were bright, you must know that although the emperor said that the Xie family collaborated with the enemy, the evidence was never shown to others.
The old ministers led by Lord Lu entered the palace together and knelt in front of Zhengyang Palace to intercede for the Xie family.
But Emperor Wu Cheng was determined to run the Xie family this time, and turned a deaf ear to the weeping blood and cries of these old ministers, and he didn't even see anyone.
......
Two hours later, some people gradually collapsed to the side due to physical exhaustion, Wei Quanzhong invited the imperial doctor, and Emperor Wu Cheng still refused to show up.
At this time, an old minister stood up tremblingly, and couldn't help but attract everyone's eyes, and found that it was actually the old man of the Yushitai, Chen Yichen, who had moved.
I saw him walk to the door of Emperor Wucheng's dormitory, but he was stopped by the guards, so he stopped his progress and snorted at Emperor Wucheng through the palace gate:
"Your Majesty, the Xie family is loyal and good, and there shouldn't be such a disaster. They have practiced medicine for generations, and how many practical things they have done for the country and the people, and the emperor's move is afraid of arousing the people's resentment. β
Mr. Chen's sentences came from the bottom of his heart, making people sad and crying, but the palace door was still closed.
β...... Your Majesty, the cruelty of Zhongliang is a sign of the death of the country! When he said this, Chen Yi choked on his head and his voice was sad.
As soon as these words came out, the people present, whether it was Lu Yuan or Wei Qianzhong, did not dare to speak out.
Some people don't care about what he said, and some people think so. But everyone admires his courage, after all, it is simply fatal to say such an almost rebellious word.
"What did you say?!"
Sure enough, the voice of Emperor Wu Cheng sounded in their ears, and when they looked up, it turned out that the emperor had asked two attendants to help him out, and he was standing at the door of the dormitory, but he looked at Old Master Chen with an expression as if he was going to eat people.
"The old minister is from the bottom of his heart, I hope that the emperor will take back his life and let the Xie family have a way to live, so that the people can rest assured."
"Just one Xie family can't shake the foundation of my Great Zhou! Besides, the Xie family collaborated with the enemy and committed a felony of treason, and it was not unjust to punish him for the nine clans, and now it is already magnanimous to only hold him accountable for the Xie family's two rooms. β
"Your Majestyβ" Chen Yi was still about to say.
"Chen Qing's family doesn't need to be much, I put my words here, the Xie family's crime has been decided, anyone who dares to intercede will be punished with the same crime as the Xie family! If someone curses the country like Chen Yi and incites the people, he will be executed immediately, regardless of his identity! β
After Emperor Wu Cheng said this, he motioned to the waiter to help him back.
"Your Majesty, you are old and faint, and you are cruel to Zhongliang, this is to bury the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Chen Yi was prostrate on the ground.
Emperor Wu Cheng turned his head suddenly, his face was cloudy, and his eyes were cloudy, "Don't respect the saint, curse me Dazhou Jiangshan, bewitch the people, you can die!" β
"Emperor Xian, the old minister can't bear to see this splendid country buried in the hands of a tyrant, and the minister wants to follow you. I also hope that the saint will drive slowly, and wait for the ministers. With that, he got up suddenly, rushed to the side of the pillar, and crashed into the pillar and died.
"If any of you want to die, you can go together, save a while, and collect the corpse." Emperor Wu Cheng looked indifferently at the courtiers who were as quiet as chickens.
These ministers were sad at the moment, and Emperor Wu Cheng's words made them feel ruthless and chilling. The dead are great, and a human life is so unbearable in his eyes, no matter how Chen Yi was once an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he served the court and the emperor.
Emperor Wu Cheng ordered the corpses to be collected, and then returned to Zhengyang Palace by himself, and then waved Wei Qianzhong to send those old ministers away.
Chen Yi was disgusted by the emperor because of his death, and the restrained servants were naturally contemptuous. Lu Yuan stepped forward and handed over a purse, and the waiter naturally respected when he received the purse. In this regard, Wei Qianzhong swept away the dust of the Buddha, but he didn't see it.
Lu Yuan stepped forward to close his eyes for him, in fact, from the time he acted alone, Lu Yuan understood that he had a will to die.
Yushi is proud of his death, and Chen Yi can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
He looked away from the bloodstain, couldn't help but look up, and sighed in his heart, this is about to change the sky.
All the old ministers were a little disheartened after such a show. Chen Yi's death did not move the king for a moment, and I am afraid that filling the lives of everyone present will make the emperor take this exhortation seriously. It's a pity that they don't have Chen Yi's determination to die. So there was no need for Wei to be loyal and ruthless, they walked out of the palace one by one.
And many old ministers have made up their minds that they will not do any more advice in the future. Not long after some people returned, some of them went to the book to beg for their bones to return to their hometowns, and some directly asked their families to pack their bags and go out of Beijing to return to their hometowns.
For the resignation of these old ministers, the prince was busy and didn't think much about it, he was sure in his heart, and turned to report to Emperor Wucheng, Emperor Wucheng was angry, and he waved his hand, but there was no reward.
At this point, it can be seen that above the Great Zhou Dynasty, the hearts of the civil and military courtiers are somewhat scattered.
Because Ye Kun clearly did not allow the two families to go back to the partial house, the old wife of the Xie Guangsen brothers could only arrange for the people below to live in the main house, while the two brothers went to see the old man Xie.
"Family Master, what should our Xie family do next?"
"yes, you can't let anyone slaughter you, can you?"
After the two brothers finished speaking, they both looked at Old Man Xie with blank eyes.
"I have my own arrangements for this." Old Man Xie said lightly.
Xie Hongtao and Xie Guangsen glanced at each other, "Family master, is there anything our brothers can help?" β
"Nope."
Again, two simple words, no more explanation. Old Man Xie's attitude was too cold, and he had a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Xie Hongtao's heart was very uncomfortable, he thought that after this experience, the people in their main house and side room could let go of all the mustards in the past and twist them into a rope to face the dilemma of life and death faced by the Xie family this time.
The two Xie Hongtao brothers came out of the study, and neither of them spoke.
When it was far away, Xie Hongtao slammed his fist on the mud wall of the garden, "What do you mean by him?!" It's always been so arbitrary! Changfeng is dead, he still looks like he is rejecting people thousands of miles away, and he doesn't dare to say anything, will we still do bad things for him? He didn't think of us as family at all! β
"Big brother, you calm down first and calm down. The head of the house may have his own arrangements, and now the main house is full of royal guards inside and out, maybe he is worried that the partition wall has ears, and he is not intent on guarding against us. Xie Guangsen felt that the third head of the family was a little weird, but now that Changfeng had just died, the eldest brother was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to speak blindly for the third head of the family.
"You don't have to excuse him, I'll just wait and see if he has any way to stop Ye Kun's actions tomorrow." Thinking that another man might die in their two rooms tomorrow, Xie Hongtao's heart was dripping blood.
When it came to tomorrow, Xie Guangsen also felt a heavy mood, there was no one in the main room, and there was only one bare-pole commander left behind the head of the family, the third child, and every time Ye Kun killed someone after that, he was caught from their two rooms. He didn't blame the head of the family, the head of the family also wanted to stop it at that time, and wanted to face the saint directly, but he was not allowed.
If only someone could crack down on Ye Kun's arrogance. His idea passed away in a flash, but he didn't know whether God had eyes or really had cause and effect, Ye Kun and Ye family were really as bad luck as he hoped. But the Xie family needs to face his anger, and what he did made the Xie family angry and hateful.
After the two Xie Hongtao brothers left, Old Man Xie still sat quietly.
Xie Li brought him a cup of ginseng tea, in fact, Old Man Xie is not suitable for tonic now, ginseng is not suitable for use, but since the accident in the Xie family, he has been exhausted. Before and after Xie Changfeng's death, he hadn't slept all the time, and he hadn't closed his eyes for thirteen hours.
"According to the latest information, next, I want to add two things, you arrange someone to do it......"
Xie Li listened attentively and nodded from time to time, but when he heard the last item, he couldn't help but hesitate, "Family Master, do you have to do this?" Now the two rooms in the side room are all living in, there are many people, I am afraid that if the eldest and second masters know, I am afraid that I will hate your old man. β
"It's okay, just do it." Then he thought of one thing, "By the way, the boy from the Shen family should have quietly entered Beijing, right?" Don't know where he's hiding? β
Xie Li thought to himself, that's for sure, if he wasn't in the capital, how could he send such a letter in time according to the situation. The suggestion was given by Shen Shizi, and after reading the letter, the head of the family felt that it coincided with his thoughts, which strengthened his idea of implementation.
Even he felt that Shen Shizi's heart was too ruthless after reading the letter, but the head of the family felt that it was not a big problem, and in the coming troubled times, those who were ruthless and resolute would live better.
Xie Rumo woke up faintly, remembering Xie Changfeng's death, and shed tears before speaking. Then she got up and walked out of the bedroom, and sure enough, she found Xie Ying, Xie Ming and others who were making overall arrangements in the hall across the room.
"Young master."
Xie Rumo sneered, "Do you still know that I am your young master?" β
But her reddened eyes and nose let them know that she was angry, and blamed them for stunting her. Xie Ying and Xie Ming glanced at each other, don't say that they didn't do this, but they have to admit it, because if that person doesn't do it, they will do it too.
"You are so daring! If you dare to ignore my wishes and knock me out in front of the Xie Mansion today, will you dare to commit a crime another day and make decisions for me, the young master? β
"The young master is angry!" The two knelt down directly, and her words were simply ripping out their hearts.
"Don't be angry, it's me who knocked you out, not them." Shen Dongli leaned against the door, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.
"It's you?!" Xie Rumo stared.
Xie Ying tugged at Xie Ming's sleeve and motioned for him to follow him out.
For a while, only Shen Dongli and Xie Rumo were left in the room.
