Chapter 9 The Stupid King
Most of the main officials of the Shegu and the prefecture have been dismissed from their posts and investigated, and the water conservancy projects that were previously finalized are still in progress, although they are short of labor and the progress is slow.
In order to speed up the project, Liu Zhao asked the emperor to allow him to collect labor from the surrounding area, and the emperor agreed to him, so on the way to Shegu or Hezhou, he often saw columns of civilians or prisoners who were driven away by officers and soldiers.
A month passed like this, and King Qi was worried, but he couldn't do anything. And in Yunjing, the emperor was also a little anxious!
"Commodus!"
"The old slave is here!"
"Didn't you say that as long as King Xuan is arrested, King Qi will definitely rebel? Why hasn't it been so long? I don't think they're so father-son! โ
Commodus smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's only been a month!" โ
"I don't care", the emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "I can't wait, I can't sleep well every day, and that King Rui has also found a way to solve it!" โ
"King Rui is cautious and careful, I'm afraid it's not easy to do!" Commodus frowned.
"Then solve King Xuan first! Hurry up and figure it out! โ
"The old slave is thinking! The old slave is thinking! Commodus responded.
"Hey! Your Majesty! The old slave knows! โ
"Say!"
"Your Majesty, although King Xuan is far away from his family, he does not have to worry about eating and drinking, life and death are worry-free, King Qi will definitely not be in a hurry, but if we torture King Xuan well, let him survive and not die, the old slave does not believe it, King Qi can still calm down!"
"Hmm!" The Emperor smiled, "Good way! In this way, you go, go to the prince's palace and take King Xuan to the school grounds! I'm waiting for you there! โ
"Yes, the old slave is going!"
Commodus arrived at the Prince's Mansion and wanted to take King Xuan into the palace. But King Xuan did not cooperate, but looked at each other coldly, and scolded the faint king.
It turned out that in the past month, King Xuan has been reflecting on what happened around him. Maybe it's because he's getting old, or maybe the world is changing too fast, and he always feels like he's being led by the nose as if he can't catch up.
Seeing his attitude, Commodus directly forcibly brought King Xuan to the school on the charge of resisting the decree and disobeying the Holy Lord.
In the school field, the emperor was holding a few concubines to watch the horse race, and originally wanted to call the Yin beauty to come and see the excitement, but the Yin beauty shirked her physical discomfort and did not want to come over.
At this time, Commodus called off the horse race and brought King Xuan before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, King Xuan is disrespectful and insults Your Majesty. The old slave had the audacity to tie him up. โ
The emperor put aside all the concubines and came to King Xuan, and originally wanted to be polite to him, but when he heard Commodus say that he insulted himself, he immediately stopped pretending.
"Uncle Wang, you shouldn't!" The emperor leaned down and leaned against King Xuan and said, "You are the prince, I am the Son of Heaven, how can there be a minister who scolds the Son of Heaven?" โ
"The disaster is serious, but you squander the silver; The government took the lead in slaughtering the people, but you didn't care; Dan room wolf ambition, but you turn a deaf ear; You can't afford the name of the Son of Heaven! โ
The emperor was obviously angry, but he didn't attack immediately, and asked: "I am not worthy of being the Son of Heaven, so Uncle Wang said, who is worthy of being the Son of Heaven?" You? Or my Uncle Ruiwang? Or is it your son, King Qi Jun? โ
King Xuan turned his head away and did not speak, and Commodus forced his head to be turned over.
"Uncle Wang, I am talking to you, if you don't look at me, are you not very respectful to me!"
King Xuan still did not speak.
The emperor was not angry, "Uncle Wang, I really want to ask you something", he asked in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "What did the emperor say to you and Uncle Rui Wang before he died, I am very curious!" โ
King Xuan understood, it turned out that it was for this reason that he was jealous and wronged.
But how can the last words of the former emperor be told to the current emperor?
So King Xuan still doesn't speak!
In order to know what the emperor said and whether he could threaten his throne, the emperor had trouble sleeping. Since he couldn't ask, he simply found a reason to kill him directly, so as to prevent future troubles.
But because I am afraid that the minister will start to intercede for him again, it is better to commit a major crime such as rebellion! So the emperor decided to take this opportunity to humiliate King Xuan.
"Uncle Xuan has probably been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and he doesn't remember much about the courtesies of the monarch and ministers, so I'll change your title, just call it stupid king? Stupid pig stupidity! โ
As soon as these words came out, King Xuan was so angry that he almost turned his back on it! But the emperor felt that it was not enough to enjoy himself, so he asked someone to get a pig cage and stuffed King Xuan into it, and several guards carried King Xuan, like carrying a pig, swaying in the school yard, causing the emperor to laugh.
By the time he put it down, King Xuan had already fainted. The emperor scolded him for being bored and walked away.
King Xuan, who was re-imprisoned in the prince's palace, did not wake up until midnight, remembering the humiliation of the day, and was ashamed and indignant.
I fell into the net of heaven and earth, how can my family die well?
King Xuan, who had foreseen his fate, wrote a letter and sent it to Yongning secretly, and after that, King Xuan had no one around him to protect him.
After the letter was sent, King Xuan did not hesitate at all and committed suicide by hitting his head in the room.
The king of Qi Jun, who received the letter, was so angry that he was about to break his hand, and Princess Xuan, the princess of the county, and King Xuan's subordinates were anxious to inquire about the content of the letter.
King Qi tried his best to say calmly: "My father wants me not to avenge his army, the Dan family is eyeing the tiger, and I can't abolish state affairs because of family feuds." โ
The news of King Xuan's death in Yunjing shocked the government and the opposition, and several courtiers asked for justice for King Xuan in the court, but without exception they were demoted by all the emperors under the anger.
King Rui never thought that the emperor would be ruthless and fast against King Xuan, and he didn't have time to react at all, so he always wondered if he would be next.
After the death of King Xuan, the king of Qi followed his father's instructions, buried his hatred in his heart, respectfully got the capital to retrieve his father's body, and buried him in Yongning in a low-key manner, and took the initiative to hand over the three cities under the jurisdiction of Yongning - Fenglin, Qianzhou and Zhuyue.
The Yongning soldiers were full of emotion, and they originally asked to avenge King Xuan, but now they are all at the disposal of King Qijun.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. This is the reason why his father's death was handed over to the king of Qi County. He now has only one task - training, training, training.
Let the Dog Emperor be the heaven and the earth, let the Dog Emperor do nonsense, let the Dog Emperor be extravagant and erosive, let the Dog Emperor sit and eat the mountains and empty mountains, and the King of Qi County doesn't care about anything. He has to wait, wait until the people are resentful, and when the emperor stabs the big basket, he will sacrifice the holy decree to avenge his father! ยท
However, when people are full of hatred, they will always ignore some more important things, and King Qi Jun ignored the most important point in King Xuan's letter, beware of the Dan room taking advantage of the chaos to attack the Xi Kingdom!
Even if the wolf ambition of the Dan room has been revealed, it is really incomprehensible that from top to bottom, from the emperor to the king of Qi County, they have not taken it to heart.
