In the brilliant lights, King Anhua led everyone into the palace of heart, and all the officials stopped talking and stood up and bowed their hands.

"I've seen the prince."

Zhu Ningxiao smiled and arched his hand: "Hello everyone, you don't have to be polite, everyone sit down, and the wine and food will be served in a few seconds." ”

Everyone sat down in a hurry, knowing that it was a banquet to celebrate the birthday of the king of Ding, and they had to invite the little prince to come out to accept everyone's congratulations, and it was still very early to eat and drink.

But seeing that King Anhua didn't seem to have any intention of inviting the little prince, he stood in front of the table for a long time and didn't sit down, smiling and scanning the audience but not speaking, everyone was furious by him and didn't know what he meant.

"Lord Wang, today is the birthday of King Qingding, we all sincerely wish King Qing, where is King Qing?" Li Zeng asked.

Zhu Ningxiao smiled and said: "Gonggong Li, don't worry, in fact, this king deceived everyone today, and today is not the birthday of King Qingding." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was in a hurry, not knowing what King Anhua meant.

"Don't be surprised, this king is using this excuse to invite you into the palace to discuss a major matter." King Anhua said loudly with a faint smile.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but for most people, it was not a big deal, no matter what excuse he had, the prince always had to come.

"Where is Jingwen?"

"Lord Wang, I'm here." Sun Jingwen stepped forward with his chest puffed.

"Jingwen will read an article for you, and all the things that this king wants to discuss with you today are in this article, please listen carefully." There was a hint of cold chill in Zhu Ningyao's voice.

Everyone was even more surprised, and turned their eyes to Sun Jingwen, Sun Jingwen was dressed properly, his expression was strict, and he slowly and solemnly took out a roll of yellow silk cloth from his arms, slowly unfolded the silk cloth, coughed and began to read.

"Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua County, since he was named the king of the county, only knows that he abides by the law and obeys the points, serves the country loyally, and has no slack; In the past three years, the national strength has weakened, the people's livelihood has been difficult, treacherous people are rampant, and the court is dirty. The outer court does nothing, the inner court gets power, the villain is in charge, and the righteous person is wronged, which is really something that the king can't bear to see; Every time I think about national affairs, I am worried. ”

The officials in the palace stood one by one with their mouths half open like clay sculptures, and they never expected that at the banquet in the prince's mansion, they would hear such a great rebellion, and it was openly read. The mouth of the audience was dry, and they didn't know how to react, and Sun Jingwen's loud reading in their ears continued.

"Our Lady of Taizu has a difficult business, the feudal sons, the world, the inheritance is endless, once it is destroyed, the emperor and the queen of heaven and the earth, the truth is learned. This king is the bloodline of the ancestors, the descendants of the Zhu family, how can they sit back and watch the ancestral industry be poisoned by this, the past Yan Wang's martyrdom is still in front of him, for future generations to praise, although the current king does not have the virtue and talent of the Yan King, but effective its heart; Taizu Zu Xunyun: There are no ministers in the court, and there is evil in it, so he will train soldiers to fight against it, and he will clean up the evil on the side of the king. This calamity is forced to bow down, and I really want to ask for it as a last resort. Righteousness and treachery do not share the heavens, and they will pursue the heavenly courtesy, and take the peace of the community, the gods of heaven and earth, and give them to their hearts. ”

Sun Jingwen slowly put down the silk book, cherished and handed it to Zhu Ningyao, in the stunned eyes of the hall, Zhu Ningxiao slowly took out a cinnabar pen from the case, solemnly and quickly signed his name, raised his hand in the air and said: "Everyone, this is the important matter that this king wants to talk to you about today." ”

The deathly silence in the temple of the heart, the rapid panting sound was clearly audible, and everyone seemed to be able to hear their heartbeat, and they could also feel the horror of the people around them, no one expected that this would be the case today.

"Lord Wang, are you going to rebel?" Someone spoke slowly in the silence.

King Anhua's face sank and he looked at the man who spoke: "Gonggong Li, what this king said in the text is very clear, this king wants to be difficult, to clear the king's side, and to return the Ming Dynasty to the Qingzhi. ”

"That's rebellion, no matter how you whitewash, it's also rebellion." Li Zeng said coldly: "I didn't expect that the prince's ambition is not small, and he actually had such a delusional idea, and advised the prince to rein in the precipice and go to the capital to take the blame." ”

King Anhua laughed and said, "Gonggong Li, you are crazy. ”

"It's you who is crazy, Lord Wang, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Ningxia Town, if the Lord doesn't restrain himself from the precipice, he will become a prisoner under the steps tomorrow."

King Anhua laughed and said, "Really? The soldiers in Ningxia Town are strong and strong, but unfortunately you can't mobilize a single soldier, they are all loyal to this king, and they are determined to follow this king; Gonggong Li, your nose is not very smart. ”

Li Zeng squinted his eyes and said, "You don't want me, Jiang Zongbing, have you already decided to rebel?" ”

Jiang Han's face turned pale and slowly got up and said, "How could this official do such a rebellion, Lord Wang, you should restrain yourself from the precipice." ”

King Anhua laughed again, smiled and waved his hand: "Zhou Ang, He Jin, are you willing to be loyal to this king?" ”

Zhou Ang He Jin bowed and said: "The lowly rank is willing to serve the death." ”

King Anhua said: "Jiang Han, Li Zeng, do you hear, the two commanders have been loyal to the king, and another general has also been loyal to the king, and his soldiers and horses stationed in the Yuquan camp will be mobilized back to the city tomorrow to listen to the king's dispatch, what else do you have to say?" ”

Everyone's hearts were even colder, it turned out that this qiē had been calculated, and the soldiers and horses of the entire Ningxia Town had been in the hands of the king of Anhua, and this qiē had already been planned.

Jiang Han gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Zhou Ang, He Jin, do you really dare to rebel? ”

Zhou Ang hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Jiang Zongbing, you don't kill me, those who know the times are Junjie, the emperor trusts the traitorous ministers, and the prince is difficult to follow the training of the Taizu, which is the will of the people, why should Jiang Zongbing be so rigid, it is better to be loyal to the prince and create a meritorious career, and the prince will not treat you lightly." ”

"Shameless!" Jiang Han was furious, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it, Zhou Ang flashed his head, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

King Anhua shouted angrily: "Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die, Jiang Han, this king will give you one last chance, never obey." ”

No one expected that the reticent Jiang Han would have such a temperament, he pointed to the nose of King Anhua and scolded: "Traitor, don't think about it, I, Jiang Han, swear not to be a rebel, don't dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival." ”

"Well, this king will fulfill your name." Zhu Ningxiao snorted coldly: "Come here, become General Jiang." ”

The figure behind Zhu Ningxiao flashed, and before everyone could see the situation clearly, they saw that a guard had bullied Jiang Han in front of him, reaching out to grab Jiang Han's collar, Jiang Han shouted angrily and raised his foot and kicked, the cold light in the guard's hand flashed, fast as lightning, a head flew into the air, Jiang Han's headless body spurted blood and stiffened for a few breaths, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The officials shouted in horror, and when they dodged, they knocked over the table and the chair, and the people fell on their backs. At this time, seventy or eighty palace guards instantly poured out from the porch in front and back of the Cunxin Palace, holding cold and shining blades to surround the officials.

"This is the end of not knowing the current affairs, this king's surname is Zhu, and he has the blood of Taizu in his body, how can he rebel? Today, the saints are deceived by traitors and indulge in pleasure, the people of the world are not able to make a living, and the society is in decline. This king's action is to follow the heavens, and if you obey the king, you are in accordance with the will of heaven. Zhu Ningxiao shouted loudly.

"Fuck your mother's will." Li Zengyan scolded angrily.

Zhu Ningxiao's eyes were cold, and he glared at Li Zeng and said, "Gonggong Li also seems to want to follow in the footsteps of Jiang Han?" ”

Li Zeng is also a backbone, stomped his feet and scolded: "Don't think that our family is a traitor." ”

"Kill!" Zhu Ningxian Senran ordered.

The guards stepped forward with only one knife, Li Zeng's chest and abdomen were opened, blood flowed all over the ground, and the corpse fell.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are willing to follow the Lord Wang." Zhou Dong was frightened and was about to become incontinent, and when he saw Zhu Ningxiao's eyes turned to him, he hurriedly shouted.

"You are not qualified enough, you are just a dog of Liu Jin, your master searched everywhere, and he didn't even give the face of this king, last year in the Xiangshan Courtyard, this king was extorted by him for 50,000 taels of silver, and he and his dog couldn't live. Kill. ”

Zhou Dong's face turned blue and he was about to run, a guard stepped up and slashed it to the ground with a knife, Zhou Dong cried and crawled forward, and the guard chopped several times, and finally fell silent.

Zhu Ningxiao scanned the audience with red eyes, all the officials were already heartbroken, and I don't know who knelt on the ground first and shouted: "I am willing to follow the prince...... No...... It is the emperor who serves, long live the emperor, long live. ”

"Long live the emperor, long live." The officials shouted in a trembling voice.

Zhu Ningxiao looked up to the sky and laughed, but when the laughter stopped, one of the people who fell to his knees in front of him stood with his head down, frowned and asked, "An Weixue, what do you mean?" ”

An Weixue slowly raised his head, and said with a sad face: "Lord Wang, the humble position has always been extremely respectful to the prince, and the service after following the prince before and after the saddle is because the prince is a royal bloodline, and he is extremely noble. ”

Zhu Ningxiao nodded and said: "This king is very satisfied with you, this king will treat you well, this king will give you a great reward, this matter this king originally planned to sue you in advance, but I was afraid of scaring you, but now that you know, aren't you happy for this king?" ”

An Weixue shook his head and sighed: "Xiaguan serving the prince is not trying to get anything in return, although Xiaguan has not made any achievements in this life, but he has always remembered the training of benefiting one party for the first term of the official, and also remembers the words of loyalty and filial piety of the teacher; I am willing to do something against my will for the prince, and I know that the prince has different ambitions, but the reason why I still serve the prince is that I feel that the prince will not really embark on this road. My only hope is that the town will be peaceful, so I have always wanted to be a conciliator; Although I am incompetent, I also hope that this will keep my functions up and down from causing trouble. But I never expected that the prince still took this step after all, and he didn't know how to speak, and the pain in his heart was indescribable. ”

Zhu Ningyan frowned and said, "Do you want to oppose my appeasement?" I didn't expect you to object. ”

An Weixue sighed: "The lowly position also wants to listen to the orders of the prince as before, but in this way, the lowly position will have to be scolded by the eternal generation, rather than this, the lowly position is better to die." ”

Sun Jingwen shouted: "Lord An, are you confused? Didn't you see the fate of Li Zeng, Jiang Han, and Zhou Dong? ”

An Weixue glared at Sun Jingwen angrily and said: "It's all a villain like you, otherwise how could the prince have such an idea, you villains are for your own selfishness, this is going to harm the prince." ”

Zhu Ningxuan said angrily: "Shut up, An Weixue, this king asked you one last time, you never obey this king?" ”

An Weixue shook his head and looked at the officials kneeling on the ground behind him, and suddenly smiled: "You people, on weekdays, scold me for being spineless behind my back, and treat the prince as a dog's leg, what is the difference between you and a dog now, and you are still a dog without integrity, a dog who is disloyal and unfilial." ”

Zhu Ningxiao shook his head slowly, waved his hand and said softly: "Kill!" ”

The guard stepped forward and slashed into An Weixue's abdomen, An Weixue frowned and bent down on the table, blood overflowed from his mouth, and he died without saying a word.
