Chapter 117: Rebel Suit
After all, the weather was cold, the sky was not yet bright, many ministers trembled and walked out of their mansions, and after receiving the news of the court meeting, they sat in a sedan chair that had been prepared, and they hurriedly rushed to the palace.
Even though there was a lot of blood on the steps in the distance, and there were still traces of last night's battle on the bricks and tiles, these people continued to walk towards the palace as if they had not seen anything.
After the official sedan chairs of the adults came out of their respective residences, they formed a vast scenery directly on the official road like a stream converging into a river.
But somehow, no matter how many grades they occupied, these adults closed their lips tightly and didn't dare to say anything. In this calm, there seems to be some kind of fear.
Last night, they naturally knew that some people were even involved, but now, no one was willing to mention it.
It was getting dark.
In the gray sky, there were a few faint lights, and the scene in the hall of morality could be seen. Nearly 100 ministers stood quietly in the court, and the civil and military queues did not dare to distort in the slightest.
"The emperor has arrived!"
A eunuch like a dry bone made a sound like a duck, which directly woke up many ministers who were still immersed in the news just now.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Just as the minister was kneeling, the emperor, who was supported by two eunuchs and walked up the steps, had a gloomy face.
As the controller of the empire, after facing the rebellion of the eldest prince, he still firmly grasped the power in his own hands, which is enough to see the depth of his city and the toughness of his wrists.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping!"
Hearing this cold voice, many ministers shuddered in unison, and hurriedly got up to secretly probe the emperor's face, but saw that his face was gloomy, and there was no joy on his face that he was praised by these compliments.
"Last night, the cold made me tremble a little, my own son, together with the prime minister and the two Aiqing, actually launched a rebellion,"
The voice was cold and a little scary, and the emperor's knife-like gaze kept scanning the ministers in front of him, and everyone could feel that the emperor at this time was like a powder keg, and it was very likely to explode in the next moment.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, Zhong Yunyi, one of the three dukes, spoke up, instantly breaking the somewhat cold situation in the court.
"Oh, Zhong Aiqing, what do you have to play!?"
Seeing Zhong Yunyi come forward, this emperor, who had a gloomy face and an expression on his face like eternal ice, actually showed a rare smile. Even these words have a bit of pampering Zhong Yunyi.
This really made many ministers a little envious, and even thought about whether they should worship under Zhong Yunyi, one of the three princes, after this incident, although Zhong Yunyi does not like to form parties for personal gain on weekdays.
But the second prince is different, now that the eldest prince has not rebelled, and his life and death are unknown, most of them have used the last resort to escape to other places, if they and others change the court in time, there is a little vitality!
Above the court, only the few ministers who have always stood firmly in the center are happy in their hearts at the moment, and they are right to bet on this risk.
"Your Majesty, the rebels have all been suppressed by Weichen, and the leader of the rebels, Song Tinghui, has been killed!"
Hearing Zhong Yunyi's words, the emperor's face had another smile, and even a faint flush appeared.
The emperor raised his hand, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly took out the holy decree and shouted in a shrill voice.
"Zhong Yunyi was meritorious in suppressing the rebellion...... Give Zhong Aiqing and Jiuxi, the edict is not named, praise is not named, enter the court is not tending, and the sword is on the temple! ”
If Lin Shou was here, he would definitely be laughing, isn't this a rebel suit?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
Zhong Yunyi thanked him, but somehow, he always felt that His Majesty's gaze at him was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
However, Zhong Yunyi didn't think about it, there is still a tricky matter that needs to be dealt with urgently, that is, how should the eldest prince deal with it?
Rebellion is a big crime to punish the nine clans, but the eldest prince is called a royal person, and this matter must be decided by the emperor, not to mention that the powerful behind the eldest prince are not simple prime ministers and captains.
"Your Majesty, are you arresting the eldest prince?"
Zhong Yunyi spoke again, and many ministers raised their heads slightly, as if they wanted to hear the final fate of the eldest prince.
What's more, they are ready to take poison, and from the moment the eldest prince fails, they have no way out.
"Aiqing is too worried, the eldest prince has been controlled by me, and I will use the patriarchal law of the royal family to punish him next!"
Hearing this, many ministers were shocked, and there was even a little horror in their eyes, they became more and more unable to understand this emperor who used to like to cultivate the Tao, but now he is addicted to Buddhism!
Even in the face of the rebellion of the Great Prince, this emperor was able to remain unscathed, and even suppressed all the leaders of the traitors, and even the Great Prince had been arrested.
If it weren't for the dragon's steaming lifespan, many ministers wouldn't even dare to put the treasure on the second prince, just because this person in front of him was the real master of this huge empire!
"Declare my will, kill all the people who participated in the rebellion, the nine clans, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!
No matter where the nine clans are, they will all be transported back to the capital within three days to be killed! ”
But just when everyone was stunned, the emperor, who was originally sitting on the throne, suddenly turned angry and ordered directly!
As soon as these words came out, everyone only felt that a stream of blood rushed to their faces, and the nine clans who killed the rebels were afraid of the soldiers, and the heads of the people who wanted to be killed were rolling, and the blood was flowing like a river.
However, many ministers did not feel that there was anything wrong, this was the crime of rebellion, the first of the ten sins, and neither the emperor nor the powerful people of them wanted anyone to break their existing situation.
What's more, there are more dead people, and only then can their own people fill these vacancies and be able to sit in more positions!
These rebels' nine clans will be killed! Kill!
"Something is wrong!"
But Zhong Yunyi, who was standing in the forefront, couldn't help but have a false idea in his mind after hearing this, not to mention that he couldn't help but recall the conversation with Lin Daochang at that time.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is inappropriate, now in the capital, there are evil and strange lurking, if you create another killing at this time, it will cause a series of changes!"
Hearing this, the already weak emperor was suddenly stunned, and he looked at Zhong Yunyi, the pillar of the country in front of him, with slightly squinted eyes, as if the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Zhong Yunyi, do you know that these people are committing the crime of rebellion?"
After all, the emperor was angry, like a giant dragon that had been touched by the scales, and it seemed that the next moment it would explode into a monstrous rage!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the sake of the country, Your Majesty must think twice! I hope that Your Majesty will just arrest these people and wait for them to be released, and after investigating this matter clearly, we will deal with it! ”
