Chapter 58 Pardon Three Times
Looking at the golden house in front of you.
Elsa was stunned and stood there and didn't know what to say.
The ministers were also stunned. On the one hand, they were suppressed by the huge amount of wealth in front of them; on the other hand, they did not expect that the so-called "a beautiful woman hidden in a golden house" really changed from a jokey metaphor to a reality standing in front of them.
After staying for a while, the nobles were in an uproar when they heard Zhou Ming's words!
Old Wangjue's face changed wildly, and then became furious.
He rushed to Zhou Ming and asked, "Noctis, what do you mean? What promise did you fulfill?"
"Of course, I am fulfilling what I said before. Build a golden house, which is filled with priceless jewelry. Hide Elsa in it and prevent others from stealing Elsa. Look, I have built the golden house, and there are countless jewelry inside. So, my promise has been fulfilled. Isn't that a problem?"
Zhou Ming shrugged and said.
Old Wangjue's chest was undulating violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the promise you fulfilled? This is the trick you, a bastard, I have to marry Elsa instead of this broken house!"
"I didn't say I wanted to marry Elsa, Lord Wang Jue, when did you hear me say this? Now you have also seen it. The Golden House is here. The promise I said has been fulfilled completely. I have no words but no faith, right?"
"Boy, I'm going to beat you to death! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Old Wangjue's eyes turned red, he raised his crutch in his hand and knocked on Zhou Ming's forehead.
Zhou Ming jumped back and dodged, and immediately two strong guards rushed out and stopped the old Wangjue who was dazed by the anger.
"Bastard, I'm going to beat you to death!"
The old duke who was stopped was still waving the crutches in his hand.
The other nobles at the scene also looked at each other and were extremely shocked.
The ministers formed a wall of humans, protecting His Majesty the Emperor while persuading the old king (actually, they were finished).
"Mr. King Jue, the golden house that His Majesty promised is here. Why are you still so angry?"
"Old Wangjue, stop making trouble, it's almost done."
"Old Wangjue, you are still too impatient. Now, as you wish, the Golden House is here, and a good story has come true."
"Ah~ah~!" Old Wangjue let out a more intense scream, and the two guards could hardly stop him.
"Miss Elsa, Miss Elsa, where are you going?"
Someone shouted from the nobles.
However, Elsa, whose self-esteem was greatly hit, collapsed on the spot, held the corner of her skirt, and fled with tears.
Old Wangjue, who was still struggling, was really not strong enough to break through the many obstacles. When he heard the movement behind him, he knew that his great-granddaughter collapsed and ran away.
"Pudong~!"
Old Wang Jue was angry and his heart twitched violently. First, his throat became sweet, and he blew out a mouthful of blood. Then he felt that his heart was extremely uncomfortable. His eyes turned black and his body fell backwards.
"Old Wangjue fainted!"
"Old Wang Jue vomited blood!"
Now it is in chaos.
...
Three days later, the old Wangjue was basically out of reach.
Always in a semi-fainted state.
He has already spitted more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood.
When his consciousness finally recovered, it was the last moment of his return.
On the last moment of death, Old Wangjue suddenly thought it openly and gave an explanation to the descendants of his children beside the bed.
The old Wang Jue said to his great-granddaughter Elsa: "Ersa, Grandpa Zeng no longer forces you. Go and find a man you really love. No matter who he is, you can marry him."
"Grandpa Zeng, Grandpa Zeng!" Elsa cried.
The old king told his eldest son Bruno: "Don't... take revenge, you... are not opponents of Noctis, don't cause trouble for him, and show him... surrender."
"Dad, I'm going to kill him! I must kill him!" Bruno clenched his fists, his eyes turning red.
"No...no." Old Wangjue shook his head repeatedly.
"The Lucis family must not bear such humiliation!" Bruno said gritting his teeth.
"No...no..."
Old Wangjue wanted to stop it loudly, but his voice became smaller and weaker and his breath became weaker. In his last sight, on the faces of the male descendants in the room, he saw unforgettable hatred and a roar of revenge.
A word sounded in his heart: It's over.
...
Three months later.
The nobles' sect had left most of the time and became a little empty. Suddenly, a military emergency report came from the court:
"Report to Your Majesty, the Lucis family officially announced the rebellion, and launched more than 3 million elite troops. They are accelerating their march. The elite vanguard troops have come straight to the imperial capital!"
The messenger said.
"How is the other party's morale?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Repay Your Majesty, the rebels are full of morale. The whole army is dressed in mourning clothes and has a thousand miles of white silk, but it is silent and silent, and no one laughs and makes noise."
Zhou Ming sighed and shook his head and said, "This is a group of mourning soldiers. The so-called mourning soldiers will win. The old king has been bold and generous in his life, has made great achievements in governance, and has benefited hundreds of millions of people. He is deeply loved by the people. I am sorry to him." His face was full of regret and he was very guilty.
"Your Majesty, the elite rebel vanguards marched quickly. They have now taken several counties in the King's Consular District. At their marching speed, they can reach the vicinity of the imperial capital in two months. Your Majesty, what should we do?" A general asked out of the line.
"The crime is my fault! They sent troops out of righteous indignation and a righteous army! In this way, the envoys sent to tell them: My king's army will not resist, and withdraw troops for two thousand miles, and will wait for them in the county of Edalas west of the capital. I will personally lead the royal army to engage in a fair battle on the plains of Edalas!"
"If I win this battle by chance, I will pardon the Lucis family for no reason, release all prisoners of war, release them back to their hometown, and ensure that they will not harm the Lucis family's interests."
"If I am defeated, then ask them to take my head, do not hurt my people anymore, stop killing, return to peace, return to their respective lands, and reconcile the two sides, and this dispute will be terminated."
Zhou Ming said.
Hearing this, the ministers were shocked and spoke out to dissuade them.
"Your Majesty, there are many rebels, and the elite cavalry legion is very strong. The royal army is definitely not their opponent in field battles! They can only defend according to the city, block them layer by layer, and continue to exhaust and drag them down. This is the best way to deal with the rebels!"
"Your Majesty, you know nothing about military affairs. You should give this task to me to destroy the rebels. I promise to defeat the rebels! I will let them return in a great defeat!" said a minister who had experience in military struggle.
"Your Majesty, although the rebels are strong, after years of strong military construction, the imperial royal army is not weak at all. I have sufficient confidence to defeat the rebels, defeat the noble alliance, dissolve them all, and then turn all the noble territories into counties of the empire!"
Another minister said confidently: "As for the arrogant and domineering Lucis family, who are not arrogant and domineering in the emperor, I think they should be attacked and killed and killed! Let everyone see what the consequences of opposing His Majesty will be!"
"No, no!"
Zhou Ming waved his hand, "I have hurt the Lucis family, and I can't hurt them anymore. If I really win by chance, I will not only pardon the Lucis family, but if they rebel again in the future, I will still pardon them. In this way three times... I will give the Lucis family three chances of pardon."
"Please tell the envoy about this matter to King Bruno that I have hurt the Lucis family once, but I allow them to hurt me three times and forgive them for not guilty!"
Zhou Ming said.
What?
