484 The day has finally arrived
The words read out one by one were like a stone hammer, hitting Rong Zhao's heart. Rong Zhao raised his head suddenly, his cold eyes burst into Xinglong, and he looked at the smug smile on the corner of his mouth, like a fine piece of glass, piercing into her eyes.
Suddenly, her hand was clenched tightly, Rong Zhao looked sideways at Xiao Junjue, Xiao Junjue's expression was also solemn, but she comforted her not to be impulsive.
"Take the order, King Chu. Happy Dragon raised his eyebrows, his gloating expression was overflowing, and he pulled a long voice, which had a provocative taste.
Xiao Rongsheng understood that he read history books, and this kind of thing abounded in history books. In the name of grace, it is actually to take him hostage.
He rushed to Rong Zhao's side and hugged her tightly, "I'm not going, I'm going to be by my mother's side, I'm not going anywhere." "Obviously crying, but also to pretend to be strong, no longer show weakness in front of bad people. A pair of eyes, which have never been more fierce than ever, are straight and hooked, like a sharp arrow shooting at the happy dragon.
Rong Zhao hugged him, the mother and son looked at Xinglong coldly, Rong Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "The queen mother's kindness, this princess understands it, but if the queen mother doesn't bother, her grace this princess can't stand it." β
Gao Xinglong's smile cooled, his eyebrows were cold, and he said: "Does Princess Chu want to resist the decree? This decree is not only the meaning of the queen mother, but also the meaning of the emperor, which is equivalent to the holy decree, if you resist the decree, you can think clearly about what price you have to pay." β
Xiao Junjue helped Rong Zhao to stand up, he looked around, his ears moved slightly, the palace was surrounded by soldiers and horses, listening to the layers of sounds, there were a lot of people.
It's his turn, Xiao Yuheng is here to cut his domain.
Suddenly, it was impossible to guard against it, and it was just chosen today, knowing that on this day, the vigilance of the whole city was relaxed, and it was easy to enter Yizhou City, which was too careless for him.
Now it seems that the outside has been controlled by the people brought by Xinglong, just waiting for them to resist the will, and then take down their family for the crime of rebellion against the will.
Rong Zhao hid Xiao Rongsheng behind him, and Xiao Rongnian also ran over, hugged Xiao Rongsheng to death, and whispered: "Lantern Festival, don't be afraid, your mother and father will protect you." β
For a while, the banquet that was still lively just now was silent.
Rong Yao clung to the corner of the table, and was inclined to make a move. He is an impulsive person, no matter how much, with him, no one can take away his nephew.
Yin Rou immediately took his hand and shook his head, warning him not to be impulsive first, lest bad things happen.
Xiao Junjue gave Qiushui a look, Qiushui understood, and immediately took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and gave it to Xinglong, Xiao Junjue said: "The emperor's will This king does not dare to disobey, but it happened suddenly, always give us a little time, it is better to stay here for one night first, and wait for tomorrowββ"
Without waiting for Xiao Junjue to finish speaking, Xinglong pushed Qiushui away, "Who does the King of Chu regard the lower officials? β
Xiao Junjue's face slowly turned cold, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Rong Zhao's heart was twisted, on the one hand, her son, and on the other hand, she was facing those people from the outside attacking, she was selfish, Xiao Rongsheng was her only son, she couldn't let him follow him back to Changge City. And she knew that taking Xiao Rongsheng back to Beijing was just an excuse.
If you return to Beijing, it is only a temporary guarantee of safety at this time, at least now Xiao Junjue has not been convicted of any crimes, and King Qi must have an excuse if he wants to cut the domain, such as King Xiang's rebellion, King Lian's corruption, and there are always some charges on the bright side to block the mouth of the world.
But it is also to hold the hostage in his hands, Xiao Rongsheng is Xiao Junjue's only son, take this hostage and use it to threaten, the result is still the same. The king of Chu will cut the domain, looking at the previous king of Xiang and King Lian, you can imagine how miserable they will be in the future.
Rong Zhao stared at Xiao Junjue's face tightly, his hands clenched into fists, and his long nails were embedded in his palms, oozing blood.
Little by little, time passed in silence, and even breathing became subtle. Xinglong showed impatience and raised the holy decree, "Lord Chu, don't delay time. He turned and looked out, "Do you still want to really resist the decree?"
Rong Yao couldn't help it, slammed his fist on the table, Xinglong glanced at him with disdain, and said in a strange tone: "Isn't this Rong Shizi? Where are you still alive?" he glanced at the audience, "The Rong family absconded in fear of crime, and it turned out that they fled here." β
He stood there, his arrogance was higher than Xiao Junjue's, and his attitude was really arrogant, "King Chu, hiding criminals in the court, can you afford such a crime? If the King of Chu knows each other, he will hand over the people of the Rong family and bring them back to Beijing by the lower officials to be executed by the emperor." Presumably, the emperor will absolve you of your guilt for your great military achievements. Otherwise, the people I brought will also set foot on your Chu Palace. β
Murong Lan couldn't hold back for a long time, and he got up and shouted: "Presumptuous, what kind of thing are you, dare to talk to the prince like this! The emperor? The emperor is a bird? A child who is less than ten years old, really regards him as the emperor?"
Murong Lan was drunk and had no scruples.
"Bold! You dare to insult the emperor, you deserve death!" Gao Xinglong was glad to have grabbed a handle in his heart, although he didn't know Murong Lan, but on this table, the seat was in the front, it must be Xiao Junjue's henchman, and catching this person could be regarded as holding Xiao Junjue's handle, "Come on, take this lawless person down to this official." β
Murong Lan immediately drew her knife, "Okay, then let the others try it and see if you can get Lao Tzu at every turn!"
Happy Dragon hurriedly hid behind the guards with him, arrogant like a tiger a moment ago, but now he has become a turtle with a shrunken head, still commanding there, "Take him down, take him down quickly." β
Xinglong was also happy in his heart, and he couldn't find an excuse, so he used the topic to play and shouted at Xiao Junjue, "King Chu, your subordinates have no saints, they speak wildly, and they are disrespectful to the emperor, and you can't escape the blame." This official sees that you and King Xiang are the same dog, and they all have the intention to rebel, come to someone, and take down the king of Chu together, come to people, take it. β
The night owl saw that things were not good, and looked at Xiao Junjue, Xiao Junjue squinted, there was a fierce killing intent in his eyes, and he frowned tightly.
The night owl jumped up, his feet were like the wind, and he caught up with the person who went outside to report the news, and with a flash of the knife, the man was killed with a knife and fell into the lotus pond.
Happy Dragon's eyes suddenly opened, and before he could catch his breath, Xiao Junjue had already ordered, "Take down Happy Dragon and his entourage." β
He pulled Rong Zhao back, Murong Lan, Zhao Jin and others had already drawn their knives, Rong Yao couldn't hold it anymore, he took out the saber on his body, swung it at Xinglong, slashed at his arm, and then cut off his throat.
Xinglong couldn't believe it, but in a trance, there was a sudden drastic change, he covered his bloody neck, and pointed at Xiao Junjue with a bloody finger, "You-you really want to rebel, you-you-"
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and the twitching on the ground was like an eagle that had been shot, flapping its wings on the ground a few times, and then it lost its breath.
His blood stained the ground, and the Empress Dowager's edict was soaked in a pool of blood and turned red.
The people brought into the water pavilion by the happy dragon were all killed in one moment.
Meng Nianci narrowed his eyes, he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and looked at Duan Pet from afar. The two sat on one left and one on the right, two feet apart.
The two had a tacit understanding and nodded at the same time.
Then, Meng Nianci stood up and arched his hand towards Xiao Junjue, "The lower official has something to say." β
Xiao Junjue's eyelashes moved slightly, his hand waved, and he made a gesture of "please", Meng Nianci stepped forward, faced all the officials at the table, and said: "The new emperor is young, the king of Qi coerced the son of heaven to order the princes, and ordered the ministers, and now the king of Xiang and Lian and other vassal kings have been convicted one after another, and this time they must be guilty of the prince again." Since the regent of the King of Qi, the Empress Dowager Liu of Qi built a palace, increased taxes, worked the people and lost money, and her relatives were in power, persecuting the poor people, making the people miserable, and the people lived in dire straits, and the misery was unspeakable. β
Duan Pet also stood up, "Outside, signed a treaty with Sunrise to lose power and humiliate the country, and ceded twenty-eight cities at Sunrise: the Yangzhou disaster, but he completely ignored it, ignoring the life and death of the people: Luo Luo invaded, the court did not send troops to support, and instructed Bicheng to fall, and mourned all over the field: Luo Luo had to inch in, and invaded Yunzhou again, the court still turned a deaf ear, if it wasn't for the presence of the prince, maybe even we wouldn't be able to be stable. Now, the king of Qi advocates cutting the feudal domain, King Xiang Anyu Lianghu, King Xiang has been innocent all his life, and he has been detained on trumped-up charges and stripped of the position of the vassal king. Now, even the King of Chu is not spared, and we are really chilled. β
After listening to the words of the two of them, the officials below were silent, but they had already calculated in their hearts. Officials are not fools. Duan Pet and Meng Nianci, one is the governor of Yizhou, and the other is the governor of Duwei, who is the most powerful official under the king of Chu.
Someone chimed in: "The King of Qi is a traitor and villain, abusing his power, killing ministers who disagree with him, and how many loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty have died under his sword." Such a person controls the government and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger. β
Rong Yao was just about to speak, but Rong Zhao gave him a look and didn't allow him to speak.
Rong Yao understood, closed his mouth, and winked at Fan Changshi.
Fan Changshi thought for a while, got up and said: "The throne of the new emperor was originally obtained by King Qi's deliberate rebellion, but he framed Marquis Rong, which is really hateful. If such traitors and villains are not eliminated, what kind of moral kingly law can be said in this world? β
Bai Shi heard the truth, and couldn't help but interject, "And the queen mother, she has simply lost the face of the royal family, the royal daughter-in-law keeps male pets in captivity, and she is not afraid that the first emperor will come to her when he dreams back at midnight." Such a good woman, if it were in our village, we would have to give her a pig pen!"
She was nervous and angry just now, but because of her serious expression, she was a lot more relaxed.
Rong Zhao pursed the smile from the corner of his mouth, looked at Xiao Junjue, and cast his gaze on the faces of all the officials.
She knew that the day she had been looking forward to had finally arrived.
