Chapter 306: The Su Family Falls
However, King Qingjun pretended not to know, and Zixi should not know what to do.
In the next few days, Chu Chen recuperated with peace of mind, and he didn't care about all the turmoil outside.
After Zixi gave him medicine in the morning and told him to rest well at home, he took a carriage to Qin's mansion, asked Jin Gongzi to take the medicine he caught in the medical hall to decoction, and chatted with Qin Sheng for a while.
After the medicine was decocted and Qin Sheng drank it with his own eyes, Zixi went back to the house to take care of Chu Chen.
King Qingjun meditated in the study for a long time that day, and after adjusting his mood, he still went out early and returned late, and began to be busy between the court and the army.
The Eldest Princess's Mansion was also still under the calm of the storm.
After several deliberations in the court, the hundred officials tried their best to defend it, and the emperor repeatedly struggled and delayed, but still failed to overturn the case for the Su family.
Collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, with the intention of rebellion.
These are two crimes, each of which is an unforgivable crime of the Nine Clans.
Under Chu Ning's cold and ruthless pressure, it was finally scheduled to be killed on the eighth day of the lunar month.
The civil and military officials clearly saw that when this decree was issued, His Majesty the Emperor almost gritted his teeth, and he only wanted to cramp Chu Ning's bones and crush his body.
However, no matter how angry he was, he could not use the emperor's power to pardon a convicted criminal.
The date of the beheading was determined, and the supervisor was immediately appointed.
But before he could finish his eyes on the palace for a week, Chu Ning's indifferent voice sounded again: "Don't embarrass others, this palace will personally supervise the beheading." ”
When the words fell, Chu Huan's expression was as cold as a hellish ghost.
The position of supervisor has always made many officials avoid it, especially Su Xiang's power is monstrous, and he is the person the emperor doesn't want to kill but has to kill, no one wants to take over this hot potato - of course, if he is really assigned by the emperor, he has to think about it.
However, no one expected that the eldest princess would personally supervise the beheading.
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing, and the ministers were swirling in their lungs with a cool breath, and they couldn't tell whether they were chilling or relieved.
And so it was settled.
In addition to Chu Ning, Chu Huan assigned two more deputy supervisors.
Hundreds of thousands of subjects in Xiling Imperial Capital, probably no one can forget the eighth day of the lunar month, and no one can forget the scene of the nine clans of the Su family being beheaded.
The eldest princess, who has always been known as the cold-faced god, is also known by more people on this day.
The smell of blood was strong and lingered for several days.
The Su family was completely destroyed.
The prosperity and prominence of the past, the lofty of the past, and the wealth of the once extremely popular ministers have all turned into dust under the cold knife.
Before the Su family was beheaded, on the seventh night of the lunar month, Chu Huan, as the king of a country, went to the prison to see Su Xiang and talked to Su Yu, the son of the Su family.
The content of the conversation was unknown to no one except Chu Huan.
Whether it's busy or idle, time goes by as usual. Twelve hours a day, no more and no less.
Two days later, on the tenth day of the lunar month, the injuries on Chu Chen's body were reduced and swollen, and he could already get out of bed and walk around, and his birthday had arrived.
"This year is your eighteenth birthday, and it is the beginning of recovery from a serious illness, which is worth celebrating, and it should have been a big event." The princess looked at him apologetically, "But it's an eventful time right now, and your father means to wronged you once first, and try not to be too public." ”
The Su family has just been beheaded, the bloody atmosphere inside and outside the palace has not yet dissipated, and the emperor is in a terrible mood, and it really shouldn't be a birthday banquet at this time.
Chu Chen smiled: "Listen to my father." ”
