If you want to live, don't be ashamed; if you want to live, don't be afraid of pain! Chengzhi was not a very good person, but he was really brave at the critical moment. His head banged against the gold brick, and blood flowed out after three or two blows!
While kowtowing, he cried loudly, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Long live Lord...this slave is wronged...I failed to restrain this slave well...and caused trouble to Lord Long live!"
Boom boom... boom boom boom...
After kowtowing, the red color spread all over the place. Everyone present was dumbfounded. No one expected that Chengzhi could be so cruel and kowtow to death!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Please Lord Long Live, I really didn't give the order. I can't let me take the blame for this!"
Everyone was in awe, and other royal nobles were also saddened. Chengzhi's experience made them feel the same way that a rabbit dies and a fox is sad!
Prince Lao Li also cried, kowtowing like a fool, "Long live my lord...the foreign devils have escaped, Shanxi merchants and Chinese merchants have also escaped, and we, the princes, are only half of them. How can this be considered a smashing of the market?"
"If Long Live Lord wrongs his slaves like this... we will not accept it!"
"The late emperor...wuwuwu...I'm going to the Ancestral Temple to cry for the late emperor!"
With a bang, Prince Lao Li's forehead was bruised and blood oozed out. Then he staggered and tried to stand up, but couldn't. Lord Baojun behind him gave him a hand.
The gray-haired Prince Li cried loudly and walked outside, "O late Emperor! Late Emperor, please take a look... I will dig out my heart and show it to you!"
"When did we destroy the market? The market is avalanche. Can't we just run away?"
"Only half of the stocks were sold. How can this be considered a sell-off?"
Prince Zheng and Prince Li kowtowed and remonstrated, which shocked all the princes present. The scene burst into mourning. Isn't it just kowtow? In order to survive, let’s fight!
Bang... Bang... Bang... The gold bricks in the Yangxin Palace were in trouble. The heads of these self-protecting princes were smashed and stained red with blood!
At the critical moment, they must make a gesture to protect themselves, otherwise the gods will not be able to save them. The stock market avalanche is too serious, and many of these people have inexplicable relationships with Guiziliu.
In such a sensitive situation, if you make a wrong move, you will lose your head. In the end, you did not die because of the rebellion, but you lost your head because of a little money. It is really embarrassing for this to spread.
Seeing that there was chaos in the Yangxin Palace, Zai Chun suddenly panicked. This was the entire prince group putting pressure on him. Bloody remonstrance was not fun.
If he kills a few people today, he will really be alone!
"That's enough!" Zai Chun fiercely slapped the dragon case, "I'm holding a royal meeting to let you make decisions and solve problems, not to make you cry like a bitch!"
"It is said... that the imperial doctor... will wrap up Prince Zheng's head first!"
"Why did you bring Prince Li back and go to the Ancestral Temple crying? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
Although Zai Chun's tone was harsh, everyone knew that the emperor's attitude had softened a bit, and they all breathed a sigh of relief!
The atmosphere was awkward and silent for a few seconds. Zai Chun looked at his uncle, Prince Dun, and asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you think of this matter?"
Prince Dun sighed, "Hey... I am guilty! I am guilty... Your Majesty is right. In fact, I also secretly sold some stocks today. I am also afraid!"
Now it was Zai Chun's turn to be embarrassed, "Uncle Wang...you...are you also short of money?"
Yi Pei shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's not about money. It's about human nature. We seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. We clearly saw that the stock market has fallen, so we allocate part of our funds to avoid risks. This is something that no one can avoid!"
"If you take out some money now, you can wait until the market stabilizes before buying in... Isn't this what the foreign devils often say, free market?"
"I know your Majesty's thoughts. Your Majesty hopes that our Eight Banners will all understand the difficulties faced by the imperial court, act as a stabilizing ballast in the market, and not be overly greedy for small profits!"
"Hey... His Majesty's intentions are good, but he can't stand it. None of us princes are personally in charge, right? They are all run by subordinates. How can these servants understand His Majesty's wishes when they are running errands?"
No one expected that Prince Dun was really loyal at the critical moment. As expected of the King of Heroes, he really helped his relatives at this critical moment.
"Your Majesty! Our first task now is to figure out the reason for the decline. What is it? It is bad news for the foreign devils to withdraw their shares, but why did the foreign devils withdraw their shares?"
"The reason behind this is the most critical! Only by finding out the root cause of the disease can we prescribe the right medicine!"
"Oh? What do you have to say, Uncle Wu?" Zai Chun sat up straight.
Yi Pei shook his head, "I have not contacted the foreign devils. I don't know the specific situation... but I found some clues!"
"I walked around the market and found that the number of homeless beggars in the capital will be much more than in previous years... Of course, people in the capital are kind-hearted, and many wealthy households are giving porridge to these beggars!"
"This also includes these foreign devils from Dongjiaomin Lane... Prince Yu is in charge of the Capital Police Headquarters. He should have first-hand data!"
As soon as King Yu heard that he was called, he quickly went out of work and replied, "Your Majesty! The foreigners in Dongjiaomin Lane have indeed opened several porridge shacks, and the British have given porridge four times at Dongzhimen Station..."
"Americans have given porridge five times outside Deshengmen...Germans have given porridge the most at Xizhimen, six times..."
"The French gave porridge once...the Russians gave away nothing, no, other countries' embassies are in the preparation stage, and I haven't heard of anyone who has helped the victims..."
"This is your data, I dare not make any mistakes!"
Prince Dun frowned and said, "Your Majesty, is there any connection between the foreign devil's porridge and the stock withdrawal? The more I think about it, the more something is wrong!"
"After thinking about it, I feel... there must be some change in the disaster situation outside the capital, otherwise there is really no way to explain it!"
The ministers said in a confused voice, "The disaster... the response to the disaster is not serious in various places, but there are quite a lot of ghosts and legends in the market..."
Zai Chun's ears jumped and he yelled at Prince Rui who was gossiping, "Louder! What ghost story? Why don't I know?"
Prince Rui made a frightened cry and knelt down again, "Your Majesty... I also heard what the little eunuch said... He said that there are many disaster-stricken areas among the people, and they are plagued by rat immortals... They are both repaying a favor and collecting debts!"
"I've heard that too, but I really don't know the truth!"
Just when Zai Chun was about to get angry, he heard a rush of footsteps outside. Da Sixi looked at the door and said, "Your Majesty! Chief Ermao is here. Chief Ermao is back!"
