C509

As King Yu recounted the tragedy that happened after the river bank was broken, he cursed the officials in the imperial court once more with a gun and a rod in his hands. Not only did the emperor not stop him, he sighed along with King Yu's description.

Seeing this, many officials wisely forgot to persuade him otherwise. They silently knelt at the side and did not say anything. After being in the court for so long, they had some understanding of the emperor's thoughts.

After listening to King Yu's description, the emperor was silent for a moment before saying, "The suffering of the citizens is due to the incompetence of us, the emperor. We will immediately issue a decree of sin and then offer our sacrifices to the heavens to pray for the blessing of the citizens."

The officials quickly kneeled on the ground and shouted, "The emperor is merciful …" "I know that all of you are thinking for the sake of the common people, but the method is indeed a bit extreme. I cannot just watch the common people suffer, and I will not easily give up on any one of them. No need to say anymore.

My surname is, guard my foundation, not people all day long, only know to kneel and admonish. "As subjects of my humerus, you are the backbone of the imperial court. If your knees are weak and you kneel when you say so, I will choose some strong men to come up."

"Yes."

The pale faces of the court officials turned pale and they staggered away. Many of them had fallen ill when they returned. Some of them had been suffering from a minor illness and were talking muddle-headedly about the common people's grievances and deaths.

After the officials had left, King Yu quickly got up from his chair and knelt on the ground. His previously deranged look was now especially solemn. "Father, your son was disrespectful before you. Please punish me."

The Emperor sized him up with a cold expression. After a while, he sighed and said, "Stand up. I know you're feeling terrible."

However, King Yu did not get up. He remained kneeling on the ground. This time, he did not bawl out his tears. Instead, the grief he felt was even greater than before. "Father …"

The emperor gritted his teeth. "What are you doing?"

"This son pleads for royal father to uphold justice for the people and severely punish King Jin and King Yu!"

"You … Get up! "

"Father, your son is not getting up. Please uphold justice for the people and severely punish the two murderers, King Jin and Wang." The emperor closed his eyes. The table in front of him was like the salt tax case file that King Yu had presented to him along with several testimonies. His hand was clutching one of the testimonies that Lin Jiang was aware of, and he said with a trembling voice, "Jun Yu, I understand what you mean, but I have my own considerations. I cannot let the people of the world know …"

"To prod the bones of the Ning Family, even more so, we must not let the descendants of the Ning Family leave behind any sin that would harm tens of thousands of citizens in the history books." royal father, then will this commoner's death be in vain? " King Yu raised his head, his face was filled with grief, indignation and grief, "That was not a single person, but tens of thousands of lives! Imperial Father, you understand this son's personality. Today, this son has spoken from the bottom of his heart and has no intention of using this opportunity to get rid of himself.

royal father's painstakingly guarding rivers and mountains were completely destroyed and collapsed because of two disappointing sons! "

The Emperor's eyes were wide open as he gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead were pulsing. After his rapid and urgent breathing, he leaned against the armrest beside the throne in a dejected manner, and his figure gradually bent over.

King Yu's heart ached as he hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor's arm. "Imperial Father, this son knows his wrongs. Imperial Father, please take care of my dragon body."

The emperor looked at King Yu's rough hands. There were wounds on his hands and blood was still dripping from them. "I am not a good emperor, and I am not a good father …"

"Father, you are, it was brother and third brother who were ignorant, it was them who did the wrong thing."

The Emperor shook his head. "You may leave. I wish to be alone."

"... Yes, royal father, please take care of your dragon body. The world still needs your care. "

King Yu left the main hall and hurriedly instructed the attendants at the side, "Go to the Grand Princess Mansion. Invite Grand Princess Yi De to accompany royal father."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After King Yu had retreated, the emperor cast his gaze outside the hall. The sunlight outside the hall shone brightly on the golden steps of the white jade hall.

He just sat there and watched until the sun was setting in the west and the sky outside was dark.

Xu Li stepped forward several times to console her, but none of them received any response from the emperor. Just as she was worried out of her wits, Grand Princess Yi De walked into the great hall.

"Grand Princess …"

"Go down." Grand Princess Yi De held a flagon of wine in one hand and two cups in the other. After Xu Li and the rest of the palace had retreated, she walked to the steps beneath the throne and sat down. She turned her head to look at the emperor.

The emperor blinked his sore eyes and slowly moved his stiff body. He came down to sit beside the eldest princess of Yide, picked up the wine cup on the stairs, poured himself a cup of wine, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Grand Princess Yi De held a cup of wine and slowly sipped. Seeing the emperor's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh, "The emperor has truly wasted a pot of good wine." Yao'er specially brewed this for me. Once you finish it, it will be gone. "

"When Yao'er comes back and asks her to brew another batch, I, too, would like this taste very much."

"Then we will have to ask if the King agrees. That child, Yue Yang, is extremely protective of the people he likes."

"Jun Yue … royal sister, you already know about what happened in Jiangnan, right? "

"Yes, I received some news." "Jun Mo Xie and Jun Jin have gone too far this time." The emperor poured another cup of wine and drank it up, his eyes glinting with a profound light. "According to my previous personality, I would have forbidden the two of them to death once I found out about this. But I am old now, so I feel powerless to do anything …" "My royal sister, when I saw the case files that Jun Yu sent over …"

At that time, I even subconsciously helped them find an excuse, hoping to prove that they didn't do it … "

"Parents are always softhearted. Emperor's way of thinking is also understandable."

"My royal sister, are you saying that I …" What should I do? "

The Grand Princess Yi De turned her head to look at the Emperor, a faint smile on her lips. "Didn't the Emperor already have a decision in his heart?"

"We..." "Sister, I cannot disappoint the people from the imperial court, but I will not let them off so easily."

The Grand Princess Yi De nodded. "Since the Emperor has already made his decision, then we shall do as he says."

"But I'm worried that I'll condone them and let others think that I'm deliberately protecting them." The emperor sighed as he became more and more disappointed with King Yu and King Jin. "Sister, this is the first time I feel so flustered." From the description he gave, he could imagine the tragic situation in Yi River City. Fortunately, Yunyao had the formula for suppressing the plague, allowing those infected to survive. If not for her formula, he was afraid that Yi River City would be the only city nearby.

The pool would suffer the same fate as the pool itself. "At that time, how should an emperor like him explain this to the common people of the world?" For the Emperor to have such a feeling, it is the fortune of all the people of the world. " Looking at the uneasy expression on the emperor's face, Grand Princess Yi De was deeply moved. She hadn't seen the wrong person. Even though the emperor had been in control of the world for many years, he hadn't lost any sense of respect for the imperial power and the common people.

In this way, the Dai Dynasty could thrive and prosper.

"Royal sister, don't comfort me." The Emperor smiled bitterly as he continued drinking one cup after another until there was not a single drop left in the pot of wine. Only then did he stop his actions.

Grand Princess Yi De took back her wine pot and cup, then placed them back in her hands. "Xiao Jiu is in a good mood. After drinking so much, you'll be injured. You can do whatever you need to do. With so many things in the imperial court, the emperor won't be able to be lazy." The person in front of him was the emperor of the imperial court. Even if he was weak at times, he did not need to deliberately comfort him. He knew what he had to do, what his path was.
