Chapter 28: Confession

The hussar general who had slapped Yang Kuan before, after seeing these old generals, silently lowered his head.

This group of old men were all his former superiors.

Although they are not in charge of the army now, the majestic and domineering momentum still makes the hussar general feel uneasy.

The emperor couldn't help but be moved when he saw that all the veterans came together, not only for the Great Wall case, but also for him to really take power.

"All Aiqing is old and still cares about the government and society, which is really a model for me to Yankang country, come and give you a seat!"

For a time, the originally one-sided situation was reversed.

Although the nine generals have long since abdicated to make way for Xian, their influence and appeal are still there.

They have trained many generals, many of whom are now in important positions.

The reason why they came to the main hall together was because they wanted to share the worries of His Majesty in the last stage of their lives.

As the so-called food monarch bears the worries of the king, Yankang has been suffering for a long time, and they all hope to sweep away this old disease, and return the court and officials to the rule of Qingming.

But just when the nine veterans sat down, things changed......

"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death, and it is not a pity to die!"

A mournful cry sounded, and everyone followed the sound and looked at it, and their eyes fell on the prefect of Ningzhou, the criminal minister Pu Youcheng.

I saw Pu Youcheng kneeling on the ground, leaning over and pressing his forehead against the cold ground.

The chill that pierced his heart came from his forehead to his heart, and at this time, the feudal official had already given up treatment.

Pu Youcheng said word by word: "The interests of the criminal ministers were obsessed, and they used the drawings made by the criminal Lu Ze to build the Great Wall, causing the collapse of the city, and also colluded with the general Yang Kuan and other generals to fabricate lies about natural disasters in order to escape responsibility. ”

Seeing several veteran generals serving the country and the people, so concerned about the society, the criminal ministers couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves and deeply felt the emperor's favor. Please also ask Your Majesty to give the guilty minister a death! ”

Pu Youcheng is smart and sad.

He knows the current situation very well, his arms can't twist his thighs, and the old generals can't hold the real power of the prime minister in their left and right hands.

So, he decided to risk his life to fully cooperate with the prime minister, take the guilt and let the Yang family and the Lu family be in trouble, and let the prime minister get what he wanted.

In this way, you may be able to change the life of your family.

Prime Minister Ji Yu's smile widened slightly, and then retracted.

He nodded imperceptibly at Pu Youcheng, and told him with his eyes, you have done a good job, and I appreciate you.

When the chief officers of the three divisions saw this scene, they all showed a triumphant smile and were full of pride.

The main culprits have all pleaded guilty, and the case has been conclusive, and no matter who comes, they can only be deflated.

The nine veterans all showed unexpected expressions, and they were speechless for a while.

The emperor was also directly stunned, and he angrily scolded Pu Youcheng in his heart for being damned.

Seeing that this case should be used to win back some real power, Pu Youcheng directly extinguished the flame of hope.

At this point, the emperor can only continue to develop obscenely.

Yang Kuan stared at Pu Youcheng in amazement, he didn't expect this four-grade prefect to be able to do this.

Yang Kuan felt that while Pu Youcheng was innocent of death, he was still a completely pitiful person.

Isn't he a pitiful person?

Yang Kuan looked at his father, showed a relieved smile, and then violently broke free of the rope that bound his body, and stood proudly in the main hall.

"I, Yang Kuan, swear to the sky today, I and my subordinates have never been greedy for ink and silver, and the collapse of the Great Wall is actually caused by ground movement, not by man or by mistake in the drawings!"

"Today, I would like to die to prove my innocence! Father, the child is not filial, and he can't repay your kindness! If there is an afterlife, I will honor you again! ”

After that, Yang Kuan rushed towards the thick stone pillar in the main hall in the stunned gaze of everyone, ready to crash into it head-on.

He hoped that his death would arouse the conscience of the ministers, arouse the anger of the people, and give Kangguo a bright future.

Of course, he also hoped that his death would allow his father to escape.

"No !!"

Yang Chaoteng got up and took a step forward, rushing towards his son, even though he knew that he couldn't save him at all.

Father's love is like a mountain, and he is just silent on weekdays, pressing it in his heart.

At this moment, father's love erupts like a volcano, with the sadness of regret.

The other eight veterans shook their heads sadly, as if the tragic end was already doomed.

Just at the last moment, the sound of breaking the air suddenly pierced the sky.

I saw a figure outside the hall rushing towards me.

There was something strange about the figure, it looked like a meat skewer on a huge piece of wood.

If you look closely, it's not wood, it's a giant crossbow bolt.

The crossbow bolt shot straight towards the stone pillar, and the figure danced wildly, its eyes were bloodshot, and it was letting out a terrible wail, already frightened and incontinent.

With a loud pop, it sounded.

The huge bolt was nailed to the pillar, and the head of the man tied to the bolt was almost against the pillar.

If the bolt went any deeper into the stone pillar, his brain would be knocked out on the spot.

Just when he felt that he was lucky, he took a long breath.

The equipment hit the pillar to finish off his Yang Kuan, and it slammed into his abdomen.

With a pop, Yang Kuan only felt that his head seemed to hit the cotton, and he was a little dizzy, but he didn't suffer any substantial damage.

And the person who was hit was miserable.

His heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were severely damaged by this blow to the head, and he directly bleed from his mouth and nose, and the pain was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.

Yang Chao immediately hugged his son Yang Kuan, for fear that he would do something stupid again.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and unprepared scene.

"Qian'er!"

I only heard Prime Minister Ji Yu shout, and rushed towards the white-eyed young man who was tied to a giant crossbow arrow.

This young man is none other than Prime Minister Ji Yu's sister-in-law, Ji Qian.
