Chapter 244; confrontation
"Okay, let's go into the palace now."
The two quickly left for the palace.
Huo Junyao also arranged for people here, and those home-made bombs were loaded into the car, ready to set off at any time, so that the entire capital would be shaken.
The Imperial Study.
Emperor Zhaowu was reviewing the recitals.
"Your Majesty, Duke Ji and the eldest princess of Ningyang ask to see you."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu raised his head, and immediately figured out the meaning of their coming, and a wry smile flashed between the two.
When Huo Jingzhi was investigating, he was also investigating, and the result made him very angry, and he also made a plan in his heart, if Huo Jingzhi attacked these people in the court.
He disposed of a batch first as appropriate, and gave an explanation to the Ji Guo Mansion first, and then saw how to deal with it in the future.
But later, he found that Huo Jingzhi had not moved for a long time, which made him puzzled.
But soon he also figured it out, Huo Jingzhi didn't move, that was not a good thing, this must be holding back some big move.
I think of Ji Guogong's words when he left the imperial study that day.
Blood debt and blood repayment.
He was helpless in his heart, those twelve bastards, since they dared to use such a method to defy the imperial power, it was not a pity to die completely.
But these twelve families, there are a lot of people in the court, and there are several people in important positions, if they all move at once, it will bring a lot of shock and impact to the court.
This is something he does not want to see.
"Pass them in."
Putting down the twists and turns, he thought in his heart how he should tell the two of them, let them only deal with one batch, and settle the matter.
After Huo Jingzhi and the others entered the imperial study to salute, the eldest princess of Ningyang took the lead in speaking; "Your Majesty, we have found the person who assassinated Yaoyao that day, and I came today to ask you to call the shots."
After she finished speaking, Huo Jingzhi directly handed over his investigation results.
Emperor Zhaowu glanced at it, and there was not much difference between it and the results of his investigation.
"What are you going to do?"
"Blood debts and blood repayment, since they openly attacked and killed the county lord of the dynasty, it is a contempt for the imperial power, and such a person must not be tolerated."
The eldest princess of Ningyang spoke directly.
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu frowned slightly, looked at Huo Jingzhi and asked; "Do you think so too?"
"Yes."
"Yaoyao has been living abroad for many years, and it was not easy for my husband and wife to find her back, and before they could enjoy a few days of stable life, they were almost killed by this group of vicious guys who despise imperial power."
"The ministers feel uncomfortable, this breath must come out, according to the law of the Yu Dynasty, they deserve death."
Seeing that the attitude of the two of them was like this, Emperor Zhaowu didn't know that the purpose of their coming today was to let him deal with these people.
According to Huo Jingzhi's words, everything is in accordance with the law, and these people will definitely die, and their families will also be exiled.
He wanted to do it too, but he couldn't.
"Ningyang, respect, I know the anger in your hearts, and I am also angry, these people despise the imperial power, and it is not a pity to die."
"But you have also seen that the relationship between these people in the court and China is intertwined, and I am worried that if I move, they will cause turmoil in the court, do you think you can deal with a few first, and slow down the rest?"
"Nope."
The eldest princess of Ningyang directly shook her head and vetoed.
"Your Majesty, Yaoyao had already said before we came, since they wanted her to die, then she also wanted these people to die."
"If the emperor wants to protect it, she will do it herself, what happens, what the consequences are, I will take care of it."
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Zhaowu's face sank slightly.
"This cannot be done in this matter, if the court is in turmoil"
"The court is turbulent, the court is turbulent, you just take care of your court, does the daughter of this palace deserve to be assassinated by these people and almost lose her life?"
The eldest princess of Ningyang was directly angry.
"Yaoyao didn't provoke anyone, on the contrary, she did a lot of things for the court."
"What is the reason for this incident, the emperor knows in your heart, how many times has the daughter of this palace been wronged for your court and your face since she returned to the capital?"
"This time, I almost lost my life, and you still want us to put up with it, do you think that the daughter of this palace deserves to be bullied, and she deserves to be wronged for your court?"
"Don't you feel ashamed that the dignified court has to rely on a little girl to maintain it?"
Bang!
"You are presumptuous!"
Emperor Zhaowu slapped the table and stood up, glaring at the eldest princess of Ningyang angrily.
This is really a bit too much, and it hurts his emperor's face too much.
"Presumptuous?"
"Hehe, this palace is presumptuous today, it's a big deal that the eldest princess doesn't want this palace, and I don't want the title of Duke Jiguo."
"I'm going to let all these bastards who hurt my daughter die."
Facing Emperor Zhaowu in anger, the eldest princess of Ningyang also completely broke out.
During this time, she was really holding too much breath.
"You, you, you"
Emperor Zhaowu trembled with anger.
And at this time, Huo Jingzhi, who had been speechless, directly took off his crown and put it on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the minister's wife is right, this time the matter is different from the past, they have already moved to kill, and the minister will definitely not let it go."
"This minister of Ji Guo can not do it, but these people must die."
"Good, good"
"You all force me, don't you, I really think I don't dare to do anything to you."
Emperor Zhaowu was ruthless, he had been an emperor for so many years, and he had never been forced to be like this.
"I tell you clearly that I can deal with those people, but I will never do what you say."
"If you don't accept it, you have to accept it."
"Okay, in that case, let's break the net."
The eldest princess of Ningyang said and ripped off the phoenix hairpin on her head and slammed it to the ground.
"I can't even protect my own daughter, what kind of eldest princess is this palace."
"Jingzhi, let's go, this court doesn't wait."
Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi's face was gloomy, and he bowed to Emperor Zhaowu, but he didn't say anything more.
He wasn't an ignorant person, but this time it was different.
If it was on someone else, he might agree with Emperor Zhaowu's treatment, but if it was on his own daughter, he wouldn't agree.
Because as long as these people don't die, there is no guarantee that they won't be assassinated again.
He was really unwilling to use his daughter's life to maintain the stability of the court.
As his wife said, it has to be said that it is also a failure for a court to not rule the law and rely on letting a woman be wronged and endure to maintain stability.
"You, you"
"Come on, put Ning Yang and Huo Jingzhi in prison for me."
"You dare!"
At this moment, an old and angry voice sounded, and then I saw the Emperor Taishang walking in from outside with a gloomy face.
As soon as he saw him, Emperor Zhaowu, who was still furious just now, suddenly suffocated the anger in his heart.
"Father, why are you here?"
"If the old man doesn't come again, the backbone of the Yu Dynasty court will be broken."
Emperor Taishang glared at Emperor Zhaowu coldly.
