Zhao Ju came to the palace to have an audience, ostensibly to plead guilty, but actually to unite with the clan kings to force Zhao Shan to make concessions and let Zhao Shan give the feudal kings more rights.
Now, Zhao Shan is vigorously investigating the crimes of the kings with powerful methods, but the palace also has many problems.
The most important point is that Zhao Ju came without any preparation.
Once investigated, there will be piles of incriminating evidence.
Under such a premise, Zhao Ju could not let Zhao Shan investigate, but Zhao Ju could not plead guilty, otherwise he would not be able to rescue Zhao Da, and he would have to be charged with forcing the palace.
This is not allowed.
Zhao Ju lifted up his robe and stood up. He lost his previous respect and said forcefully: "Your Majesty brutally kills indiscriminately. Do you want to be a tyrant and a coward? Your Majesty, Zhao Ju, please take back your orders!"
Zhao Yi stopped kneeling and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yi, please take back your order."
All the feudal kings spoke one after another.
All of them looked like they were desperately fighting against Zhao Shan, because the vassal kings all had problems that could not withstand any verification and could not be investigated by Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan looked at the impatient look of a group of people, and his smile became brighter.
He is anxious!
This is the result Zhao Shan wants.
Zhao Shan looked at Zhang Xu and scolded: "Zhang Xu, what are you doing standing still? Could it be that my order has failed, or are you planning to serve these feudal kings as your master?"
"This slave accepts the order!"
Zhang Xu left in a hurry.
Zhao Ju became even more anxious and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty is ignorant and violent, and does not distinguish between good and bad. I cannot let it go. If Your Majesty insists on doing this, I will remonstrate with Your Majesty even if I am killed in the hall."
Zhao Shan chuckled and said: "I just want to investigate, so feel free to bump into it. The beams and pillars in the hall are rarely stained with blood. Today you come to stain them with blood."
Zhao Ju's expression suddenly froze.
The other vassal kings were also obviously panicked.
As the vassal kings of Daqian, they relied on Zhao Shan to abide by the rules, and Zhao Shan wanted to use them to win over the vassal kings in the world. Now that Zhao Shan doesn't care at all, they have lost their support.
In essence, Zhao Shan controlled the army and the feudal king had no chance.
This is a true crushing of strength.
Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Ju who didn't dare to hit him to death, and sneered: "If you dare to hit him to death on the spot, I will respect you three points. It's a pity that you just screamed loudly, and you were strong enough to do it."
Zhao Ju's face was burning with anger, and he further said: "Zhao Shan, you have gone against the grain, killed the vassal king's relatives, and destroyed the city wall. All the vassal kings in Daqian will resist you, and you will definitely regret it."
Zhao Shan rolled his sleeves and said, "I don't regret it! I will regret it if I don't investigate you. I will regret it if I don't clean up the evil atmosphere!"
"Your Majesty, I will report Zhao Ju."
Among the vassal kings, Prince An and Zhao Tan suddenly stood up. He was in his early forties, his eyes were filled with panic, and he said quickly: "I know that Zhao Ju secretly manufactures weapons and secretly raises private soldiers."
"Zhao Ju not only has this small force in the imperial city, but also has many private soldiers in the imperial village near Luoyang, at least thousands of private soldiers."
"I have invaded and occupied three thousand acres of fertile land in the Sili area. I am guilty!"
"However, I am loyal to Your Majesty and have absolutely no intention of betrayal. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Tan looked demanding and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to offer all the money and fertile land of the palace. Please be lenient."
Wow! !
There was an uproar in the hall.
Shocked expressions appeared on the faces of each of the clan kings. No one expected that Zhao Tan, the unknown King An, would suddenly rebel and directly report Zhao Ju for treason?
Zhao Ju's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Tan, aren't you afraid of causing harm to Prince An's Mansion if you spit blood?"
Zhao Yi and Zhao Ju have a close relationship, and he also scolded: "Zhao Tan, you have to clearly distinguish the interests."
Both of them wanted to suppress Zhao Tan, but before Zhao Tan could refute, another vassal king stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I know that Zhao Ju maintains private soldiers. He once complained privately that the cadres always let people who should not be emperors become emperors."
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Zhao Yi. He colluded with Zhao Ju and is also an ambitious person."
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yi's palace also has private soldiers. They also hide weapons secretly. They are definitely up to no good."
The vassal kings who originally followed Zhao Ju and Zhao Yi all began to rebel.
Everyone tried their best to distance themselves from each other.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
Zhao Shan saw the scene of adding insult to injury and smiled coldly. This is the quality of Daqian as a vassal king.
An ordinary emperor would be worried that his handling of the Daqian vassal king in Luoyang would cause agitation among vassal kings across the country, causing panic among the people and even a vassal king's rebellion.
However, Zhao Shan was not afraid.
Daqian is already a mess, can it get worse than it is now?
If any vassal king wants to rebel and dares to raise troops to attack Luoyang, Zhao Shan will not get what he wants. He can kill them all in one fell swoop.
Now is the time to cut through the mess quickly!
Zhao Shan said coldly: "Zhao Ju, after being accused by many vassals, what else do you have to say? Forging weapons without authorization, raising private soldiers, and plotting rebellion, your Prince Ning's Mansion is really harboring evil."
Zhao Ju's eyes were angry, and he looked at the group of insects, jackals and trash around him, and his murderous intent was revealed.
This waste is so useless.
Pity!
It's a pity that he didn't wait for the right opportunity.
Zhao Ju was full of energy and said forcefully: "Zhao Shan, I, Zhao Ju, have been forbearing, hiding my clumsiness, and waiting for opportunities all my life. It's a pity that God doesn't give me a chance."
"If you are aggressive today, I will no longer hide my clumsiness."
"I'll kill you first."
"Even if I can't kill you out of the palace, it's worth killing you to have someone to back you up!"
"Take your life!"
Zhao Ju shook his right hand and picked up a sword in his sleeve. He held the sword and rushed towards Zhao Shan in large strides.
Zhao Shan didn't panic at all. He put his right hand on the desk and jumped up. A few rabbits came to Zhao Ju and punched Zhao Ju on the arm.
boom! !
A dull crashing sound was heard.
Zhao Ju's arm hurt, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Zhao Ju was even more unsteady on his feet and retreated one after another. The way he looked at Zhao Shan was even more horrifying. Even if Zhao Shan was powerful, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had strong martial arts skills, so he would not be without the strength to resist.
However, Zhao Shan knocked off his dagger as soon as he faced him. It was a completely one-sided crushing attack.
The disparity in strength is too great!
Zhao Shan got the upper hand with one move and beat the drowned dog hard. He rushed in front of Zhao Ju again and punched Zhao Ju in the chest.
Click! Click!
The bones in Zhao Ju's chest broke and he fell to the ground screaming.
puff!
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zhao Ju's whole body seemed to fall apart. Severe pain invaded from the broken bone, causing Zhao Ju's body to tremble continuously.
At the same time, the imperial troops outside the palace rushed in and surrounded Zhao Ju and other vassal kings.
Zhao Ju looked at Zhao Shan, gritted his teeth and said, "You, you,..."
Before he could take a breath, Zhao Ju vomited blood again, his eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground without breathing. But there was still a deep sense of despair on that old face.
Wow! !
The vassal king in the main hall looked horrified, and he was even more frightened.
Zhao Shan is a real killer!
Not for nothing!
Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground, begging for mercy with his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
"I am guilty, please convict your Majesty."
"I am willing to offer all the money and treasures of the royal palace, please be generous to your majesty,"
One by one, the feudal princes knelt on the ground to plead guilty. They no longer looked arrogant and had no intention of quarreling with Zhao Shan.
