When Yan Du rushed to Chengtian Palace, the old sacrificial wine had already been driven out of the palace, but he was still scolding.

"Your Majesty, it is easy to fight the world and difficult to defend the world, the ancestors laid the foundation of great glory, and the younger generations can no longer open up the territory, but also keep this foundation! Your Majesty, at this time when the country is in crisis, please get out of this Chengtian Palace and go outside to take a look, the war in the south of the border has burned, and the people in the south of the border are in dire straits! How can you not see, how can you not hear, all the nations are calling to you, to save them! This moon tower can't be built, firstly, it will cost a lot of money, and secondly, it will hurt the hearts of the ministers and the people! They are all looking at you, if you are really a wise monarch, you should sit on the temple, think with the ministers, and feel the suffering of the people! ”

Hearing this, several ministers who had followed Yan Du paused a few steps away, shook their heads and sighed one by one.

Yan Du glanced at the closed door of the palace, his face sank, and ordered several ministers to come forward and persuade the old priest to stop scolding.

The scolding he scolded, every sentence was like a knife, cutting the emperor's face, and if he continued to scold, the emperor was afraid that he would take his life.

Several ministers hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, but the old sacrificial wine did not listen and pushed them away.

"The emperor has to wake up, and if he closes his eyes and listens like this, Darong will be finished!" The old sacrificial wine shouted bitterly.

Several officials were so frightened that their faces turned blue, and they all asked the old priest to whisper.

"I just want the emperor to hear it, and I want to wake him up with a mallet!"

The old sacrificial wine even rushed up the steps, rushed to the palace gate, and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, the minister was your master, and he taught you the way of sages and sages, the way of kings, you probably forgot everything!" My Darong was once the most powerful country in the Central Plains, and since you ascended the throne, the national strength has been changing day by day, so that now, other countries wantonly invade our borders, but we dare not fight! Lamentable! Alas! The root of all the faults lies with you, the emperor! You have killed Zhongliang! You are a traitor! You're mediocre! ”

"Presumptuous!" There was a loud shout inside, it was the emperor's thunderous wrath.

"The old minister's words are true, please ask the emperor to rein in the precipice and return to righteousness!"

After the old sacrificial wine was righteous, the inner hall suddenly became quiet, and the silence was terrible.

Several ministers retreated behind Yan Dui, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu whispered: "It's broken, it's broken, this old sacrificial wine can be a big disaster today." ”

scolded the emperor today for being a faint king, and counted so many crimes, with the emperor's temperament, he must not be spared.

Several others were also wiping cold sweats for the old sacrificial wine, and an official of the military department said: "It's really not good, let's carry the old sacrificial wine away?" ”

"That's a good idea! And gag his mouth! ”

"Let's do it together!"

Several ministers were about to step forward, when the hall suddenly burst into shouts: "Come on, take this...... Take down this old thing! ”

This is the emperor's voice, it is estimated that he was so angry that he couldn't speak just now, and he was still out of breath at the moment.

Because of this order, the guards surrounded him from both sides.

"Your Majesty!" The old sacrificial wine shouted, "Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Qin family?" ”

"Kill him!"

"Your Majesty! Wake up! ”

The old priest finished shouting this hoarsely, and then his eyes were certain, and he rushed up towards the pillar next to him.

Under everyone's astonishment, with a bang, the old sacrificial wine was resolute, and blood was splattered on the spot.

"Old sacrificial wine!"

Several ministers were startled and hurried forward.

When Yan Du saw this scene, he seemed to have been hammered and froze in place.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! The old sacrificial wine has something to tell you! A minister shouted at Yan Dusk.

Yan Du came back to his senses and hurriedly ran forward, but seeing that the old sacrificial wine was covered with blood, he looked straight at him, his lips trembled, "Prince...... Daiei ...... Can't die...... The people of Daerong ...... Are you saved...... You are...... The Qin family...... Born with all of this on his shoulders...... Can't escape...... Can't leave it alone...... Prince...... I also had a ...... Strong soldiers...... Prosperous ......"

After saying the last sentence, the old priest closed his eyes.

"Old sacrificial wine!"

"Old sacrificial wine!"

Several ministers cried around this old man, he was a Hongru and a teacher for the world.

After a long time, the emperor in the palace reprimanded: "Xu Zhong committed the following crimes, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans, this case is handed over to the prince, and all the nine clans of the Xu family will be arrested, and they will be beheaded at noon ten days later!" ”

In the upper study, Shangguan Xu and Hongxuan sighed again and again.

"Everyone in the world claims to be a student of Mr. Xu, he is a real teacher of the world, today he is outside the Chengtian Palace to die Mingzhi, the people of the world must be greatly shaken, if the prince you arrest his family at this time, behead them all, then you ......" Hongxuan couldn't say anything anymore when he said this, he could only sigh.

Shangguan Xu continued: "Then you will be scolded by the people of the world, no, it may be the people of the world!" ”

"You've lost the hearts of the people."

"And this is a black cauldron, the emperor clearly let you carry it."

"You still have to carry it."

"Everybody's looking at you."

"If you don't follow the emperor's orders, you are disobeying the holy decree, and if you do it according to the emperor's orders, you are a sinner through the ages."

"How to choose, I can't choose."

"One step forward, one step backward is the abyss."

The corners of Yan Dui's mouth twitched, "Can you two say something useful?" ”

Shangguan Xu then sighed again, "It's useless." ”

Yan Du was silent for a moment and said, "Arrest the Xu family first." ”

Shangguan Xu and Hongxuan sat up straight together and looked at Yan Dui, "Your Highness, the Xu family can't be killed!" ”

Yan Du sighed, "Who said that this king was going to kill them." ”

"Then ......" Hongxuan's mind turned, and it was immediately clear, "Your Highness is here to make an appearance for the emperor, and second, to protect them." ”

"Well, just in case people with bad intentions take advantage of the chaos to make a bigger mess."

Shangguan Xu nodded, "It's just that the prince has to be scolded." ”

"Heh, I've been scolded less?"

"And after that?"

Yan Du sighed, "Drag." ”

On the same day, the camp on the outskirts of Beijing arrested the Xu family, and all those who were within the nine clans, regardless of age, were to be imprisoned. There are many Xu families, and there are hundreds of people in Shengjing City alone, so the queue lined up for a long street, and the people watched on both sides of the street.

"Xu Jiale is kind and charitable, they are all good people."

"Yes, they are very kind as a family."

"Ouch, iniquity, infancy will not be spared."

"I heard that the crown prince ordered the arrest."

"This is the great traitor."

"Prince Xu was also forced to be helpless, let's not forget, during the famine before, it was the crown princess who helped us."

"Yes, there was also the war in Zhenbeiguan that year, which was also pacified by the prince."

"The riot in Nanzhou was also quelled by the prince's Zhenbei army."

In the upper study, Hongxuan stroked his beard, "Although the people have their own words, most of them did not scold the prince, and said that you believe that you will uphold justice for the Xu family and will not kill them." ”

Yan Du snorted, "Where did they get their confidence in me?" ”

"The eyes of the people are bright, and they have seen what you and the crown princess have done all these years."

Yan Du snorted, "This king doesn't have much confidence in himself. ”

Saying this, Shangguan Xu came, saying that the Chinese courtiers were on hunger strike outside the Chengtian Palace and could not build the Moon Picking Tower.
