Chapter 399: Bad Omen(1/2)
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi frowned and guessed what Lord Wu said.
It is blocked by a fog, and I can't see the momentum in the distance. What does it mean?
Is it really impossible to calculate his fortune, or is it afraid to tell the truth?
Empress Dowager Tao suddenly had an attack, "Enough! Calculate fortunes, and end here! Where is the imperial guard? He dragged all these traitors and killed them!"
A court official shouted: "Mr. Wu, you have to tell the truth!"
"Is it a bad omen or a good omen? Lord Wu, you have to tell the truth!"
"It is related to the country and the people of the Great Wei Dynasty. Lord Wu, how can you be vague about this matter? Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
"Master Wu, do you dare not tell the truth?"
Empress Dowager Tao was furious, "Clog their mouths, drag them down, and kill them all! A group of ruthless ministers dared to slander Your Majesty and to separate the mother-son relationship between me and Your Majesty. You should all die."
The imperial guards obeyed the orders and stepped forward one after another, blocked the court officials' mouths, and forced them down.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi changed his mind temporarily, "Save their lives first! Bet on it and try it carefully. I must know who is causing trouble behind the scenes and slandering me again and again."
The imperial guards received the order.
The court officials do not have to lose their heads for the time being, but they have to face severe torture.
I don't know which one ends better.
As for how the family behind these officials will save them, that is in the future.
at the moment……
In Changle Palace, except for the Empress Dowager and the royal family, only Lord Wu was left as an external minister.
Lord Wu was uneasy and panic arose in his heart.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi stood up from his seat, slowly walked down the steps, and came to Lord Wu.
He bent down and looked at Lord Wu who was kneeling on the ground, "The person who was in the way has been dragged down. Can Wu Aiqing tell me the truth now?"
Lord Wu shivered all over, "Your Majesty, what I said before is the truth!"
"I'm afraid it's not completely untrue! I want to listen to the real truth! It's a bad omen or a good omen. I'll give me a clear answer!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi obviously made up his mind to find a truth.
Prince Ping Xiao Chengwen frowned slightly, "Why do you have to pursue good or bad omens on your Majesty? Your Majesty is the emperor. As long as you think about the country and country of the Great Wei, the situation will definitely improve. Sooner or later, a peaceful and prosperous era will come!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi raised his head and looked at his second brother Xiao Chengwen with a smile on his face.
"If Prince Ping can't control his mouth, you can step down now!"
Xiao Chengwen didn't expect that Emperor Xiao Chengyi would suddenly turn against him, "Your Majesty..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Xiao Chengyi sneered, "Can I ask about my fortune and have to go through you and nod my head to agree? You always say that I am the emperor, but I feel that I am the puppet in your hands! Everything must be approved by you. If any of my decisions do not match your wishes, you stand up and persuade me. You are famous for saying: Advice!
But why should I listen to you every time? Since I ascended the throne, all the decisions I have made can be said to be carefully considered after following your suggestions. However, the result was not satisfactory!
The court officials said that I am a lonely star and harmed the Great Wei Dynasty. I want to say that you are the ones who really harmed the Great Wei Dynasty! I asked myself that I have done everything an emperor should do, worthy of the world and the ancestors. It is you, your advice and suggestions, and you arranged for me to go and do what I do, and you harmed the world!
I want to ask about good and bad luck now, why can't it work? Why did it become a confused person? If the Li people hadn't had bad ideas one by one, which harmed the world, how could I ask about good and bad luck here? How could there be court officials pointing at my nose and scolding me?"
After a lot of scolding and anger, the hall was so quiet that it was enough to hear the needle.
The clans bowed their heads and said nothing, and everyone rushed to make quails.
Prince Ping Xiao Chengwen had a expressionless face and his thoughts were surging.
Empress Dowager Tao rubbed her eyebrows and sighed, feeling helpless.
Lord Wu was still kneeling on the ground, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, never being found.
Why is he so unlucky? He is involved in such a thing?
It's so fatal!
"Wu Aiqing, I want you to have a clear answer. What is your calculation? I have to listen to the truth! As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I forgive you for not being guilty. You can immediately resign from the office and leave the capital to save your life. If you refuse to tell the truth, I will order you to be executed and your nine clans will be killed!"
"Your Majesty!" Empress Dowager Tao very much disagrees with Emperor Xiao Chengyi's approach.
Whether Lord Wu tells the truth or tells lies, he cannot let his life go.
How can you let the key parties go without such confidential matters?
This is a confusing act!
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi obviously understood what Empress Dowager Tao meant. He carried her on his back and raised his hand to stop her from talking.
Today, he just asks for the truth and asks for good or bad luck.
No one can stop him.
Whoever dares to stop him will kill him!
Everyone present saw his determination.
Empress Dowager Tao was very angry and looked at Xiao Chengwen frequently.
I hope Xiao Chengwen can speak out and stop the emperor from being confused.
But Xiao Chengwen took the initiative to say, "I will leave!"
Empress Dowager Tao was speechless and couldn't believe it.
Xiao Chengwen continued, "My mother should avoid it!"
"you……"
Empress Dowager Tao was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Xiao Chengwen took the initiative to stand up and led his clan out of the hall.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi always turned his back to Empress Dowager Tao and never made any sound.
But Empress Dowager Tao already understood everything.
Obviously, Xiao Chengwen's approach pleased the emperor.
Next, no matter what Lord Wu said, they were not suitable to stay in the hall to listen.
Empress Dowager Tao took a deep breath and looked tired. "I am tired. I will go back to my room to rest first! After your Majesty is finished, don't forget to take medicine! I will hurt you when I hear you speak! You have to protect your throat so that you won't be able to speak."
"Thank you, my mother, for your concern!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi finally turned around and looked at Empress Dowager Tao with gratitude.
Empress Dowager Tao nodded at him and stood up and left.
Everyone is gone!
In the hall, only Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi and Lord Wu kneeling on the ground were left.
"Wu Aiqing, there are no outsiders here now. I want to listen to you tell the truth! I can only tell the truth. I can't tolerate a false statement. You know the consequences!"
Lord Wu was sweating all over, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, as if they were fished out of water.
There were ground dragons burning in the hall, which was very warm.
But he was shivering and felt chill all over.
He couldn't help but shake, and opened his mouth several times without making any sound.
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi said again: "As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will protect you from death! Today I will arrange for you to leave the capital, the further you go, the better, and spend the second half of your life incognito! Don't worry about someone chasing you!"
Lord Wu looked up at Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi, "Your Majesty is this serious?"
"I am the emperor, and I have a word. Could it be that you can't believe me?"
Of course, Lord Wu couldn't trust the emperor.
The most ruthless imperial family.
The characteristic of an emperor is to turn against each other and speak as a fart!
But the current situation is not enough to give him any choice.
He took a deep breath, "Your Majesty wants to know the good or bad, so I will tell the truth!"
"Very good! Say, I'll listen!"
Lord Wu closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a moment, and he had regained his calmness.
He said solemnly: "I did not deceive Your Majesty. Your Majesty's fortune is like a cloud of mist that cannot be clearly seen. The only thing that I can confirm is that this is not a good omen, and there may be a life-threatening disaster."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi's face changed slightly, "Is it really a bad omen?"
Lord Wu gritted his teeth and nodded, "It is indeed a bad omen! However, there is a glimmer of vitality in it! Therefore, Your Majesty must follow the trend and not go against the general trend of the world!"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengwen asked anxiously: "What is the general trend? Didn't you say that I am the general trend? I am the emperor and is closely related to the general trend of the world. It means that I am the general trend. Could it be that you want to say that the country of Wei is in danger?"
"I have no such intention! Your Majesty is the emperor and influences the general trend of the world, but it does not mean the general trend of the world. Every decision of Your Majesty will have an unpredictable impact on the world. The way of heaven is unpredictable, but Your Majesty has a innocent heart, and will serve the country and the country, and the general trend will also change."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi smiled bitterly, then sighed again.
