Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 508

[Chapter 508 Aren’t You Afraid?]

The officials knelt and sat in front of the palace for three days, and many of them collapsed to the ground.

In the early morning, the emperor finally ordered the officials to enter the palace. It seemed that they meant to accept their advice. The gray-faced officials accelerated their pace and staggered into the golden hall.

After entering, I found that the emperor was already sitting on the main hall, and directly below the steps of the throne, there was a man who was busy with dust. Although his clothes were not dirty, they were stained with dust at first glance, and his hair was slightly visible. Messy, with a whip in his hand.

Just when the officials of the Ministry of Rites were thinking about how to participate in the performance later, the man turned his head and greeted the crowd with a cracked mouth: “Don’t come here, adults, I heard that you knelt outside for three times. God, I think you adults look pretty good, and looking at your strong and healthy appearance, when the border war starts again, you should go to the front line to kill the enemy for the country.”

Many people couldn’t help but shrink their pupils: His Royal Highness King Yu, isn’t he in Jiangnan? Why did it suddenly appear on the main hall?

King Yu curled the corners of his lips and seemed to be full of smiles, but the surrounding officials felt the coolness behind them, as if they were being stared at by something dangerous. Many generals couldn’t help but look at King Yu carefully, and secretly sighed in their hearts, the murderous aura of His Royal Highness the Second Prince was very strong.

“Chen and others see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live.”

The emperor didn’t shout, his expression was cold: “Aren’t you willing to kneel? Even now, I don’t want to get up. I never force others to be difficult, so I will let you kneel for a while.”

“The emperor, Wei Chen and others are all for the sake of thousands of people. Before, the ministers and others suggested closing Yishui City, but the emperor did not agree, so that the epidemic spread to other cities along Yishui City. If this continues, the people of Jiangnan will be in danger. That’s it!”

“Your Majesty, Lord Sun is right. Please listen to the advice and close Yishui City.”

King Yu, who was standing above the main hall, suddenly looked sad, and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop. Tears fell instantly, and the appearance of crying bitterly did not care about the prince’s majesty at all, “Father, I beg you to have mercy on the people of Jiangnan. Let’s pull down Lord Sun and Lord Nan, who just spoke, and execute them!”

“His Royal Highness King Yu, you… how can you speak like that?”

King Yu’s tears fell even faster: “Father, according to the household registration records of Yishui City, there are more than 43,600 people in the city. After a flood, there are only less than a thousand people left. Among the people, there are more than 300 people infected with the disease. According to the meaning of the two adults, should these people be killed again by the people who have finally gained life? This is too cold-blooded and ruthless!”

“Your Majesty, it’s not that the ministers are ruthless, but that you can’t lose the big because of the small. If more people are endangered because of these hundreds of people, then it’s a gain and a loss!”

“Fart!” King Yu turned his head, “As officials, you don’t want to treat the people after something goes wrong. The first thought is to kill them all. Now there are people in Guancheng who have the plague, should we close it now? The city gate, trapping more than 30,000 people inside? If the epidemic continues to spread along the water, according to the meaning of the two adults, will it destroy most of the Dali Dynasty?”

The faces of the two officials who spoke were pale: “Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers and others have absolutely no intention of this.”

“You officials, who keep saying that they are for the country and the people, are actually destroying the foundation of our Dali Dynasty. The emperor and the monarch are heaven, the people are the earth, and the interdependence of heaven and earth is indispensable. Now that there is a problem with the land, you It will be destroyed. I dare to ask you adults, where do you stand without the land under your feet? Without the land under your feet, how can you feed yourself? In a folk saying, what you do now is to eat at the table and curse your mother when you leave the table. One by one is unthankful, heartless! To close the city gates and kill the people, this is simply treason!”

Several officials almost lay on the ground, and before they could refute King Yu’s indecent speech, they hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor: “Your Majesty, the ministers and others definitely don’t mean this. It’s His Royal Highness King Yu who slandered the ministers, etc., please let the emperor know.”

The second prince, Prince Yu, took two steps forward on his knees and banged his head on the steps: “Father, my son is heartbroken. You haven’t been to Jiangnan, so you don’t know the tragic situation of Yishui City. The whole city is in ruins, and there are corpses everywhere. There were mourning everywhere! The soldiers who entered the city to help clear the streets were all seven-footed men on their knees and wept bitterly. Survival, what the hell are the people, they just want to live simply, why is it so difficult!”

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at King Yu, his eyes were sore: “It’s my fault…”

King Yu wiped away his tears, knelt up straight and looked resolute: “Father, my son is not filial today, he is going to make a scene in the imperial court, if anyone today dares to say that Yishui City will be closed and the people infected with the plague will be killed, my son will directly Pulling his family and throwing them into Yishui City, let him see with his own eyes how difficult it is for the people today, and how difficult it is to live! King Yue and County Master Wenxian help the people collect their bodies every day, and the smoke is burning You can see it from a hundred miles away. The billowing black smoke is the restless souls of the common people. What are they doing? They are staring at us, standing beside us, watching the inaction of so many officials in our court. Just thinking about how to destroy the people of my Dali Dynasty…”

Many officials couldn’t help but shuddered. They didn’t feel anything before, why did they feel so cold after hearing King Yu’s words, as if something was really hiding in the dark, staring at them.

“Jun Yu, you have lost your temper.”

“Father, my son is guilty, and you can punish him any way you want. My son just asks my father for some grace, and let my son escort the medicinal materials into Yishui City first, and let King Yue and Princess Wenxian give medicine to the people first. The people are suffering, the sons and ministers are heartbroken…” King Yu burst into tears.

The emperor couldn’t help sighing, stepped down from the throne and helped him up with his own hands: “You got up, your temper has always been straight, and now you have seen the miserable situation of the people of Yishui City, and it is understandable to feel sad in your heart, ministers, what do you think? ”

“Yes, understand… understand…”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: “Xu Li, His Royal Highness King Yu has worked hard all the way, and he has given him the right to watch the seat at the top of the hall and bring a chair to King Yu.”

“Yes.”

Xu Li hurriedly instructed the maid to move onto the chair. King Yu was so tired from crying that he sat down after two sittings.

The emperor was even more heartbroken when he saw it: “You are a good boy. Let’s talk about the specific situation of Yishui City.”

King Yu nodded and explained the situation of the three most severely affected cities, focusing on Yishui City: “…Father, Princess Wenxian knelt down and led the soldiers and people to pray for the deceased. May They can rest in peace in the spirit of the sky, but so many officials in the court have taken care of their lives and want to kill their compatriots left in the world, how can the deceased rest in peace? It is impossible to turn into a ghost and come to them to intercede…”

The officials who heard this almost jumped up and kicked the chair where King Yu was sitting. Didn’t Yucheng do this before? Why did they persuade them according to the old example before, only to be scolded by King Yu by pointing their nose?
