Chapter 391

Few people in the state of Chu have seen the emperor's majesty who has lived in seclusion in the palace for decades. For example, the officials and sergeants who raided the University scholar's office today have not seen him. The men who came out of the old lady's house were stunned and thought, is it a madman?

Minister Jin Cheng is very old. He entered the dynasty when he was young. He was lucky to meet his majesty at the throne ceremony 20 years ago. At that time, his Majesty was only a 10-year-old boy. Now he should be 30 years old. He can be regarded as middle-aged. But why is the face after the black hair is separated so beautiful and has no change?

His majesty suddenly appeared in the bachelor's house, the plot was broken, and his face was like yesterday. These three things were like three thunder falling directly into Jin Shangshu's heart, which made him kneel down subconsciously and muttered: "long live, you..."

Only then did the officials and sergeants react, stunned and speechless, and kneel irregularly.

The old lady came out of the house with a crutch and just saw the picture of people kneeling down like a tide in the house.

Well nine turned to her and said, "I promised him that as long as I was still the emperor, I would protect your wealth all my life."

Listening to this sentence, the old lady was more excited. She knelt down and said, "thank you for your mercy."

The bachelor's house was silent, and then suddenly there was a burst of crying.

Those cries came from the descendants of bachelor Zhang and the servants in charge.

Today, when the imperial court copied the family, there were many cries in the bachelor's house, but the crying at that time was grievance and fear. At this time, it was the joy and ecstasy after escaping the great disaster.

Among the charges arranged by the imperial court for university scholars, the most indelible one is confinement, your majesty, which is treacherous.

Today, his majesty personally went to the bachelor's house and concluded that who dares to say anything?

Jin Shangshu knelt on the ground and listened to this sentence. His face suddenly changed and finally woke up.

If the situation goes on like this, his preparations and those of the officials in the court will be put into the current. Where did he allow such a thing to happen?

Even if your majesty is not an idiot, he has been imprisoned in the palace for 20 years. I'm afraid he doesn't know any ministers. What's the power? What if you die?

The strength brought by ambition and greed supported Jin Shangshu to get up.

He stared into Jing Jiu's eyes and was ready to shout out the most crucial sentence - this man is false!

How dare you pretend to be your majesty? It's a great crime to be late. Don't you think it's too much to kill you with a knife?

In order to hide the imperial robes that university scholars often wear in private, the bachelor's office dares to let people pretend to be the emperor. It's too much to copy and chop all over the door!

In a very short time, Jin Shangshu thought a lot of things. There were many pictures flashing in front of him. Those pictures were full of blood.

The next moment, he found that he didn't shout.

Hundreds of officers and sergeants knelt on the ground and looked at him with strange eyes.

Jin Shangshu opened his mouth and showed a frightened look on his face.

The only sound he could hear was his heartbeat.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

His heart beat faster and faster, turning into a rapid drum, as if to jump out of his throat.

Faster!

An indescribable pain burst from his chest and instantly spread to all parts of his body.

If he could make a sound at this time, he would certainly scream like a wounded beast, but he could not, so he could only look at Jing Jiu with horror on his face.

Looking at those eyes as deep as the sea, Jin Shangshu suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things. Why did the teacher always dare not usurp the throne, why did the emperor shut himself in the palace, why did king Jing's son come to Beijing and die, and why did the fire in the palace not light when the autumn rain fell

Unfortunately, he understood too late. Strong regret, despair and fear made him cough bitterly.

His lips spewed blood like fog.

There was a scream in the field.

He continued coughing and bowed like cooked shrimp. The blood gushed out continuously. Finally, he even coughed up some pieces of blood and meat.

Jing Jiu took the hair band from the old lady, tied his black hair, walked past Jin Shangshu and walked outside the bachelor's house without looking at him.

The old lady, leaning on a crutch, sent him out with humility on her face. When she passed Jin Shangshu, she spat on his face.

That spit was like a hammer. Jin Shangshu directly fell to the ground and twitched twice, then he didn't breathe any more.

……

……

That night, all officials eligible to participate in the court meeting in the capital of Chu received a notice that there would be a big court meeting tomorrow.

In fact, the palace sent only one eunuch to inform bachelor Chen.

It can be imagined that the emperor, who has not been out of the palace for 20 years, really has no one who can move.

This fact does not reassure the informed officials, because what happened in the university has spread all over Kyoto.

Before dawn, cars and sedans appeared one after another on the road to the palace. Some officials were still explaining things to the deacons at the window.

Instead of giving his last words, he is preparing for the great changes that may happen today.

Even in the face of imperial power, few ministers are willing to wait to die, not to mention that imperial power is nothing in the history of Chu in recent decades.

The hall door opened slowly. The officials looked at each other, stopped talking, and walked in slowly. They were arranged in two cases according to the usual practice.

Meeting is something that everyone doesn't like, but governing the country is always inseparable. The court meeting has never stopped, but your majesty hasn't been there for many years.

Some ministers remember the last time the emperor appeared at the imperial meeting or the grand ceremony for his accession to the throne, while some officials with a good memory remember that when bachelor Zhang was impeached, his majesty came to the Imperial Hall and said a word - the bachelor is doing a good job. Don't mess around.

In the eyes of the emperor, are we still fooling around with these things that happened after the death of the University scholar? So, your majesty, what are you trying to do?

Looking at the man in bright yellow robe on the High Emperor's chair, many ministers had all kinds of ideas in their hearts. Then their eyes were soon attracted by the handsome face. They were very shocked. They thought that his Majesty was such a beautiful man. His black hair was just tied behind his head. How could he have a fairy like demeanor?

Well nine naturally ignored what these ministers were thinking and said, "let's start."

A small eunuch nervously looked at the list in his hand and was ready to speak.

At this time, bachelor Chen suddenly came forward, saluted Jing Jiu and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

Well nine looked at the man and said nothing.

Master Chen said, "the Minister of rites, Jin Cheng, was ordered to copy Zhang's house yesterday. Why are you there, your majesty? Why did Jin Shangshu die suddenly? "

These two questions were extremely rude. What's more, he kept staring at Jing Jiu's eyes when asking questions, and didn't have the due respect for the emperor.

Chen University scholar stared into Jing Jiu's eyes to see something from inside.

Yesterday, the emperor suddenly appeared in Zhang's house. Jin Cheng died suddenly, which shocked him. Finally, he remembered a very secret rumor.

Bachelor Zhang Da refused to move the emperor because he knew that the emperor had been refining pills and immortals!

At today's great court meeting, Mr. Chen wanted to know whether the rumor was true or false. Of course, he had made all kinds of preparations.

Even if your majesty is really a high-level immortal, you can't change the general trend of the whole Chu state!

Well nine will not answer this question.

The little eunuch was very clever. He forced himself to suppress his tension and scolded: "do you have an order? Your majesty didn't make an order. Whose will did you serve? "

The little eunuch's voice was very sharp, because he was nervous and dry. It sounded like a little cock pinched by someone's neck. It was very ugly.

Such an ugly voice reverberated in the empty hall. Mr. Chen looked stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Jingjiu didn't want this boring process to continue. Looking at the officials in the hall, he said, "Bachelor Zhang is the one I choose. If you move him, you move me."

This sentence is very rude and doesn't mean anything. It's not consistent with the usual temperament in officialdom. It's more like the tone of Jianghu children.

Listening to this sentence, the ministers were not afraid, but felt funny, and even several officials really laughed.

Jingjiu ignored them and continued, "that's going to kill the whole family."

This sentence was very indifferent and had no killing intention. It was not as good as thunder. It was just like a gust of wind passing through, but everyone in the hall felt extremely cold.

The little eunuch took two steps forward holding the list, swallowed his saliva nervously and began to read out his name. The ministers named by him were out of the line, looking a little confused. The number of these officials was very small, only seven or eight. The officials who were not named were also puzzled, thinking what they were going to do.

The little eunuch thought about what to say next, his expression was more nervous and his voice was more dry.

He was not a great man, but when he got up at night the other day, he found some dark figures sneaking into the main hall to set fire, and summoned up the courage to shout.

After shouting that voice, he thought he would die. Who would have thought that the fire did not ignite, he did not die, but became a confidant of the emperor's majesty.

Of course, it may also be because your majesty only knows himself, a little eunuch. Thinking of these things, the little eunuch's tension was relieved, cleared his throat, and said to the ministers in the hall: "the officials who have called their names are innocent, and the crimes of the other officials are unforgivable..."

His words were interrupted before he finished.

There was an uproar in the hall. The ministers looked at Jing Jiu in the throne. Their eyes were full of shock and thought, is it really going to change?

Your majesty, you have nothing, no ministers, no troops, no bodyguards, and even the eunuch has only such a small doll that doesn't grow. Do you want to wipe out the whole officialdom of the state of Chu? Where did this crazy idea come from? Is your majesty really as rumored, either an idiot or a madman?

"Does your majesty want to decide the world with a royal seal?"

Mr. Chen smiled and looked at Jing Jiu in the emperor's chair. His face was full of pity: "capital, states and counties, officials, soldiers, scholars and people are sober people. Who will listen to you? Even if you may have moved some bodyguards, or even yourself... "

At this point, he paused without finishing the conjecture, with a strong sense of ridicule on his face.

A general sneered and said, "even if you can leave us in the palace for a moment, what's the use?"

Yes, even if Jing Jiu tried to seal the palace, he could not keep these ministers in the palace for a long time and force them to admit their authority.

These ministers had made preparations before entering the palace. As long as they stayed a little longer, the governors and family generals of each government would go out, and the camps outside the capital would come in.

It is also very simple for the forbidden army to choose between an idiot emperor who has been imprisoned for many years and the whole court.

How long will the Palace last? Once the palace is broken, your majesty, how will you deal with yourself?

Mr. Chen looked into Jing Jiu's eyes quietly and waited for his answer.

Well nine said, "I never wanted to trap you here."

With this sentence, the temple door suddenly closed, and the shadow fell on everyone's body and heart.

The little eunuch had already been reminded in advance. Holding the roster in his arms and taking the officials named, he avoided to the corner behind the throne.

……

……

It was dark in the hall, but there was sunshine outside.

Zhuo rusui leaned against the hall door and squinted at the rising sun. He smelled lazy all over.

Childe Zhang stood beside him, pale and asked, "is that all right?"

"Otherwise?" Zhuo rusui drooped his eyelids and said, "you wrote the list yourself. It's your fault if there's a mistake."

Childe Zhang was worried and said, "am I talking about the list? I mean, your majesty is in the hall! "

Suddenly there was a scream in the temple, followed by the sound of cutting the skin of the flesh.

Childe Zhang couldn't see the picture in the hall. He could only guess that he was so nervous that he began to retch. He just didn't eat anything and couldn't spit out anyway.

At this time, the hall door suddenly made a dull sound, and then a cry for help came out. It should be that the minister was hitting the hall door and wanted to run out.

Eldest childe Zhang didn't care about the annoyance in his heart. He quickly put his shoulder against the hall door, his face full of fear and sweat.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Zhuo rusui was very satisfied and said, "yes, you should show it at this time. You should know that you have been assassinated before. Your father was afraid that you would be killed by the emperor, so he drove you to the south to avoid disaster. Your emperor is very stingy. If you don't make contributions at this time, you might kill you when you think of what happened in those years."

In such a tense moment, eldest childe Zhang could not hear what he said, but tried his best to hold back the door of the hall.

A stream of blood poured on the door of the temple, which made him tremble. He shouted like crazy, "don't you go in and help?"

In his mind, since the man in black is the most powerful expert assassin in the world, even if he can't help his majesty kill these disorderly subjects and thieves, he can at least save his majesty.

Zhuo rusui said inexplicably, "he still needs us to worry?"

Childe Zhang misunderstood what he meant. His eyes became excited and said, "how many guards are there in the hall? Or did you invite many masters of practice? "

"He's alone." Zhuo rusui ignored this sentence, which made childe Zhang's face more pale. He waved to the eunuchs not far away and said, "go and prepare some water first. Remember, you need a lot of water, otherwise it will be very troublesome to clean up when the blood coagulates."

In fact, neither he nor childe Zhang can understand why these middle-aged eunuchs are so bold and dare to stay here at this time.

The eunuchs smiled and said, "don't worry, two adults. We've done this several times."

……

……

Before long, the sound in the hall disappeared, quiet and palpitating.

Eldest childe Zhang looked inside with some fear, but he couldn't see anything. He slowly left the hall door on his shoulder.

The hall door opened slowly and Jing Jiu came out.

He was covered in blood, with a sword in his right hand, and his face was a little pale.

Childe Zhang quickly knelt down and dared not look up.

Well nine looked into the distance and said, "say to your mother, this hair rope is not strong."

……
