Chapter 863: The Storm is Coming
The entire hall was instantly silent, everyone was holding their breath and not daring to make a sound, and the originally festive sound of silk and bamboo suddenly became abrupt.
Those musicians didn't stop, and neither did they continue to play, and one of them was too nervous, and the sound of the bamboo flute in his hand broke, and the sharp flute instantly disrupted the rhythm of the original music, which was extremely harsh.
Emperor Ming Qi was extremely angry, but he couldn't help the king of the north.
This musician suddenly made a mistake and directly hit his anger, and he saw Emperor Ming Qi grabbing the cup in his hand and falling heavily on the case, "What kind of musician is it if you can't even play a piece well, how did the musicians choose people, and let such an eyeless thing play music in the temple?!" ”
The musicians over there all knelt on the ground in unison, and the person who played the bamboo flute before turned pale and said urgently: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!" ”
"Noise!"
After Emperor Ming Qi said coldly, he said directly to Wang Denian: "Drag people down, Chinese New Year's Eve is unlucky to see blood, drag them out and hit a hundred boards, to set an example." ”
The man collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the other musicians trembled with fear.
It is said that there is no blood, but where are the boards in the palace that people can bear, ordinary thirty boards can cripple people, these hundred boards down, I am afraid that even the bones can be broken, how can there be a way to live?
Even though Wang Denian has served Emperor Ming Qi for many years, he still pauses when he sees him so uncertain and prone to people's lives.
He only felt that His Majesty's temper had become more and more tempered lately, and he didn't know why, he often suddenly became angry, especially when things didn't go his way, and the slightest disrespect to the people serving him would lose his life.
During this time, more than ten palace people have died in the palace one after another, and almost all of them have been killed by rods for various reasons.
Even Lin Sihai was also hit by the board because he spilled some tea before, and he is still limping when he walks.
In the past, it was not when the North King did not contradict His Majesty, and he was used to being so arrogant, but at that time, even if His Majesty was angry, he only kept it in his heart, and he would never directly confront the North King on the surface.
But since the last time the Song family was beaten, King Ying returned to the capital, not only did the king of the north become more and more unscrupulous towards His Majesty, but even the situation in the palace became more and more unstable.
Emperor Ming Qi was uncertain, and the situation between Korea and China was too far from what they expected.
Wang Denian only felt uneasy in his heart, and always felt as if there was a sign of a storm coming.
Although Wang Denian felt that the musician was not guilty to death, but Emperor Ming Qi had already ordered, no one could save him, and after Wang Denian let the palace people under his head drag him away, the entire hall fell into a strange silence.
Emperor Ming Qi glanced at the other musicians lightly: "What are you still kneeling there doing, playing music." ”
Those people hurriedly got up from the ground, sat back in their place, endured their fear, trembled and continued to play with their musical instruments, while Emperor Ming Qi looked at Yan Wuge in the music and said:
"Since you think about me like this, then I can't ignore your kindness, after all, the two of you are worth a lot of money, and there is such a cornucopia as the Heavenly Threshold Trading House, so I don't need to worry about you."
"It's just that I'm really worried about those disaster victims outside, the treasury is not abundant, and the silver on the household side is even more stretched, unlike the two of you who are rich, but fortunately, Miss Shen is kind enough to let people set up a porridge shed to help the people, otherwise I don't know what the chaos will be outside."
