Chapter 57: The Angry Son of Heaven
Imperial City, in the Xuanzheng Palace.
With the end of the prince's recital, the wrath of the Son of Heaven filled the entire hall with a terrifying pressure that made the soul tremble! Its power had even begun to materialize, affecting some of the more fragile things in the temple.
For example, there is no wind in the water, and the paper begins to produce subtle cracks!
After a long time, the terrifying coercion of the Son of Heaven sitting high on him slowly subsided, and then he said coldly: "Wang Cang, I am very disappointed in you. You should be well aware of the failure of the Imperial City Division...... What does it mean for this court?"
"Yes, the old slave is guilty, please punish Your Majesty," the prince knows the temper of today's son, and at this time, he can honestly admit his mistakes lightly, if he quibbles and shirks his responsibility, it is light to send him to guard the emperor's mausoleum.
"You will definitely not be able to escape this punishment, but punishment is not the goal. The Son of Heaven said coldly: "One of the middle servants, three of them all know, five deputy ones all know, and twelve thousand households! I remember that it seems that except for the empty seal case at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Imperial City Division has never acted like this time, and the loss has been so serious! Do you know what this means?
It means that you, the Imperial City Envoy, will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of your Imperial City Division! And I will also bear the notoriety of not knowing people and employing people inappropriately!"
"The old slave is guilty, and the crime deserves death!" Although the prince had long expected that this level might be very difficult, otherwise he would not have been bitter in the Imperial City Division because of his anger! However, when the Son of Heaven really said this, he realized that his previous estimate was a little insufficient.
For a while, the murderer who killed the people who killed them in the Imperial City Division was even more bitter about their arrangement in Youzhou, and he couldn't wait to break his body into pieces!
It seems that he has been beaten almost, so the Son of Heaven did not continue to entangle on this, after all, the prince in front of him is a rare good dog under his command, and he also pointed to this good dog to bite himself in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is that although the part that the Imperial City Division is responsible for is also very important, it is not irremediable compared to the other two divisions.
Therefore, the tone of the Son of Heaven slowly began to flatten and said: "Okay, I will receive the punishment myself in a while, and I will have a good long memory! But if the Youzhou side loses too much because of your Imperial City Division's mistakes, I will be punished again!"
"Thank you for your grace," the prince knew that he had passed this level, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "The old slave is guilty!"
"Alright, get up," the Son of Heaven pondered for a moment before saying, "The majesty of the Heavenly Family cannot be desecrated, and the people of the Imperial City Division cannot die in vain. Three months, I only give you three months, no matter who is involved, give me a satisfactory answer!"
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty," at this time, the prince was no longer old, and the whole person was like a foraging beast, and replied in a deep voice: "Within three months, the old slave will definitely give Your Majesty a satisfactory explanation!"
Seeing the prince leave, the Son of Heaven once again focused his attention on the urgent report sent by the Great Xing Division before, and somehow, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
But soon, this uneasiness was left behind by him, and at the same time he secretly laughed at himself for being unfounded.
After all, the Gong Wei Division is different from the Imperial City Division, there is an important minister there who has never let him down!
At the end of the day, these three words represent more than just a name.
It's a razor-sharp knife!
It's a blade that never lets him down!
Not to mention the Son of Heaven here, he thought that the Imperial City Division was almost completely wiped out in Youzhou, resulting in the complete collapse of an important link in the plan to recover Youzhou, which was the worst news he could hear.
On the other side, Shen Qianqiu, who was accompanied by the Gong Wei Si who was passed over by him, had the highest official rank in Jincheng and was also the actual person in charge, and Shen Qianqiu, who was also the same person in charge, finally followed the eunuch to pass the decree, and he realized that he was too naïve!
This Youzhou is really poisonous!
Just now, he thought he could trust the important minister who never let him down...... In this Youzhou, he was disappointed!
No, it's not just disappointment!
The other party simply threw his life over there! All the arrangements planned for nearly ten years were all lost!
For a while, even the city government of the Son of Heaven couldn't help but stand up in shock for a while!
"What did you say?" The Son of Heaven seemed to be afraid that he had just heard it wrong, so after a long time, the Son of Heaven, who had only come back to his senses, hurriedly asked, "Say it again!"
"Back to Your Majesty, do your best...... I have done my best for the country!"
If it were usual, Shen Qianqiu would have died early. After all, there is such a person who has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and he, the Gong Wei Division, knows that there is no possibility of further progress.
However, at the moment, Shen Qianqiu is extremely nostalgic for the days when he was still alive, because if he was alive, this unlucky person who reported bad news to the Son of Heaven would not need him to be it!
"Do you know what you're talking about?Shen Qianqiu!" Even if it had been confirmed from Shen Qianqiu's mouth, the Son of Heaven still couldn't believe it. Therefore, he put pressure on Shen Qianqiu again, hoping to get a negative answer from his mouth.
For this reason, the terrifying aura that had erupted after the prince reported the news, which made people's souls tremble, erupted again! It spread out in all directions with a power far beyond the previous one, enveloping the entire imperial city in it!
Among them, the dragon shadow roared, so that the people in the entire imperial city immediately understood, and today's ...... Angry!
Not to mention that the people in the imperial city were panicked because of the anger of the Son of Heaven, in the Xuanzheng Palace, the Son of Heaven was waiting for Shen Qianqiu's answer, but then the Son of Heaven was disappointed.
It really can't be faked, it has become an established fact, how can Shen Qianqiu deny it?
And to be honest, the most unlucky one is himself, if he is a bully...... That's going to be a lot of trouble!
Therefore, Shen Qianqiu could only reply stubbornly: "Back to Your Majesty, when the minister first got the news, he also had doubts, but the evidence in the report made the minister dare not believe it......! The people below whom Yichen saw would not, and would not dare to lie! After all, ...... Who would take such a risk when a lie can be debunked at once?"
"What about the letter?" After a long time, the Son of Heaven barely stabilized his mind, and the phantom of the evil dragon behind him that roared out because he had just lost his mind slowly converged into his body.
"The minister brought it," Obviously, before coming, Shen Qianqiu had expected that the emperor would ask him for a letter, so he hurriedly took it out and transferred it from the eunuch on the side to the hands of the Son of Heaven.
And after the Son of Heaven finished reading the emergency report from Youzhou, the terrifying momentum that had just been reined in was once again out of control and began to wreak havoc! The shadow of the roaring evil dragon also soared into the air again, stirring up the wind and clouds!
"It's a good Youzhou! It's a good town! It's a good town! It's a good game...... I've lost, but the next game ...... You won't be so lucky again!"
