Chapter 235 Don't take revenge, swear not to be human(1/2)
Emperor Yongtai is sick!
One night, the royal family was killed and injured.
High officials are prominent, and have great families and are not damaged.
Looking at the death list page by page, Emperor Yongtai spit out his old blood for fifty years.
"I am a sinner of Xiao!"
Sun Bangnian appeased and Empress Tao could not stabilize the emperor's mood.
"I am a sinner! These people died because of me. After a hundred years, I will not have the right to meet my ancestors."
Emperor Yongtai beat his chest and cried, regretful, angry, murderous intent...
Blood was dripping in his heart.
Everyone who died, whether it was a member of the royal family or an unknown person, was a member of the Xiao clan.
What support does imperial power rely on?
First, rely on military power, second, rely on interests, and third, rely on tribe members.
Having enough tribe members and the support of tribe members is also a huge force that no one can underestimate.
Except for princes who occupy land as kings, they will only erode the rights and interests of the emperor.
only……
At this moment, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but have a question, "Is it really wrong to kill the princes and kings in the world?"
Queen Tao sighed and said softly: "It's nothing to do with right or wrong. Back then, Your Majesty made the decision to kill the princes, at least at that time."
If the decision to kill the princes was wrong, what was the Tao family, who was a tyrant back then?
No matter what, Empress Tao cannot let the Tao family fall again to kill the princes and kings.
The Tao family has paid a heavy price to kill the princes. After a few years, how can the old accounts be settled again?
So, she had to dispel the emperor's confused thoughts.
However, when the thoughts come true, how can we easily dispel them?
"If all the princes and kings were still there, how could the aristocratic families in the world dare to bully me wantonly and how could they fake the imperial edict? There would not be a tragedy last night."
There was regret in Emperor Yongtai's eyes.
The aristocratic families in the world were afraid of the princes who occupied land as kings, so they supported the decision to abolish the princes and kings from the beginning, and even spared no effort to send troops to support the emperor's decision, and jointly killed the princes and kings.
for what?
Ultimately, it is for the benefit.
"Without the constraints of princes and kings, aristocratic families have no scruples. I am afraid that local generals are all lackeys of aristocratic families. All I can rely on is the armies of the north and the south, but they have been used thoroughly."
"I killed the princes and kings clearly because I was abolishing my martial arts."
Emperor Yongtai began his own path of self-reflection.
The aristocratic family reached into the palace and passed on false imperial edicts, so even the generals of the Northern Army could not tell the truth. This was more than ten times more threatened by the princes to the imperial power.
He trembled and feared!
When everyone looks at it, there is doubt in their eyes.
Will a pair of hands be stretched out at the next moment, pinched his neck, and sent him to the ground to see the ancestors and ancestors?
He is scared!
I was afraid that my eyes were red, I was afraid that I vomited blood, and I was afraid that I would issue an order to execute everyone in Xingqing Palace.
Empress Tao suddenly grabbed his hand, "Your Majesty, the Tao family can definitely trust. Why did General Situ Jin die? Your Majesty think about it carefully. The causes were all at the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet. It was the brother who set up a plan to let the officials of the aristocratic family get into the trap. Your Majesty had a open reason to arrest people and took this opportunity to execute General Situ Jin.
The Tao family has long stood opposite the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family wanted to kill the Tao family without leaving them. Last night, it was almost a little short, and the Northern Army attacked the Tao family. It can be seen that the Tao family had already been on the list of the aristocratic family that must be executed. At this time, no family is more trustworthy than the Tao family."
Emperor Yongtai stared at her.
Empress Tao continued: "The aristocratic family is not trustworthy. However, the Tao family is trustworthy and the royal family is trustworthy. Can Your Majesty hear the voice outside? It is the royal family confronting the officials of the aristocratic family, and both sides are at odds and may kill them at any time.
The tragedy last night was a situation. However, Your Majesty is kind, Your Majesty's situation is a small situation. The aristocratic family is a big situation. They killed hundreds of people, and they must pay the price and must pay their lives. Situ Jin's life is not as good as the life of a few hundred royal family members."
Emperor Yongtai nodded repeatedly.
That's right.
Although Situ Jin's life is important, it is not as good as the lives of hundreds of royal relatives.
"Where is the Jinwu?"
With a shout, the head of the Jinwu Guard held Jinwu Zheng Gang out of the line, "I am here!"
Emperor Yongtai tried hard to sit up from the bed, "How many officials are still imprisoned in the Jinwuwei Zhao Prison?"
"Report to Your Majesty, there are twenty-one officials of all sizes and big or small in the imperial prison."
Emperor Yongtai gritted his teeth, "All officials from aristocratic families will be executed, and no one will be left behind."
Zheng Gang was shocked and couldn't help but look at Empress Tao.
Queen Tao took a deep breath, "Go! Follow Your Majesty's instructions, and no one who should be executed should be left behind. They dare to falsely pass the imperial edict and kill the royal family. Even His Majesty's brothers dare to kill, which is equivalent to rebellion. Not killing people is not enough to shock people."
Zheng Gang gritted his teeth and bowed to receive the order, "I received the order!"
Sun Bangnian was frightened. Is this really appropriate?
Will the conflict intensify?
He reminded carefully: "Your Majesty, the court officials have been waiting outside the palace gate for several hours. The royal family is also coming one after another. Both sides are tense and conflicts may occur at any time. Should Your Majesty see them?"
"I have never seen any of the court officials. The royal family members have asked them to be elders, the young mansion's orders, Zong Zhengqing, to come in. I am ashamed of them, but I must give them an explanation."
The officials of Shaofu and Zongzheng Temple are both held by royal relatives.
Emperor Yongtai had already hated the aristocratic family to the extreme.
At this moment, he didn't want to see those hypocritical faces. He was afraid that he would not be able to control the hatred in his heart and would attack on the spot.
At this time, he needed to give an explanation to the royal family.
He needs to get royal relatives and strong support and sympathy from his clan members.
...
Outside Xingqing Palace.
The invisible swords and swords were staged between court officials and royal relatives.
Every surviving royal family member has deep hatred in his eyes.
They hate it!
But you can't do it easily.
The courtiers expressed sympathy for their experience, but their words were pale.
No one is a fool here.
Everyone has a scale in their hearts and their own answers when they happened last night and what is inside.
Do you dare to say that what happened last night has nothing to do with you?
You are the masters, and you are even bold and decisive in passing on the imperial edict.
You are dead!
You must die! You must be buried with the people who died last night.
Both sides were silent and the tension was about to break out.
Until the palace maid Xuan Shaofu family ordered Zong Zhengqing to meet him, the atmosphere changed.
The court officials frowned and dissatisfied, "Why did Your Majesty only summon the Shaofu family order and Zong Zhengqing? I and my colleagues also want to see Your Majesty."
"Yes, we will see Your Majesty, too."
"What is the reason why your Majesty avoids the court officials if such a horrific event happened?"
The ministers were angry and shouted that they wanted to see the emperor.
The guards stopped the court officials, and the eunuchs comforted the court officials' emotions.
"My dear masters, please listen to our family's words. Your Majesty is concerned about the royal family, and the incident last night was really shocking. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the aftermath. This matter still requires the order of the Shaofu family, and the two masters Zong Zhengqing worked hard. After Your Majesty understands the situation, you will definitely summon you."
After the eunuch said that, he turned around and left. He signaled the guards to close the gate of Xingqing Palace quickly.
What if the ministers are lawless and rush in and bump into the emperor?
...
Emperor Yongtai sat up from the bed with the help of Sun Bangnian.
He leaned against the head of the bed, his face pale and excited, but also exhausted and haggard.
Queen Tao whispered, "Your Majesty should take care of your health."
To be continued...
