"How come they are all civil servants, but there are no veterans with military background?"
Zhu Yunwen was speechless for a moment.
Seeing Yan Zhao draw his sword out of its sheath, he had to hold back the anguish in his heart and whispered: "In the later years of the emperor's life, the military attachés were quite rebellious and lawless, such as Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Ying Guogong Fu Youde, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, etc. People were all given to death one after another..."
As the resounding names fell one by one, Yan Zhao was frightened and asked again: "From what you said, it seems that besides this, there are many more people who have been sentenced to death?"
Zhu Yunwen was not afraid of being bitten if there were too many lice, so Zhu Yunwen simply said honestly: "Another example is Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunshuo, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, He Rong, the Bo of Dongguan, and Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs... The implication is very heavy, tens of thousands of people."
The matter was so involved that Yan Zhao couldn't help but turn his head to see the emperor.
And wouldn’t the emperor be quite alarmed by this?
Many of the people here were once brothers who fought alongside him!
If it was said to be pure rebellion, he would not believe it. Most likely, it was because he had to clean up the court in order to get this kid to the throne.
But besides that, he also wanted to say something else, but after the words came to his lips, he turned around a few times, and with his courage and courage, he was so afraid that he didn't dare to speak!
When Yan Zhao saw this, he vaguely understood, but at this moment, he did not dare to speak rashly.
After all, he was still alive. When the emperor calmed down a little, he asked in a trembling voice: "Didn't the queen advise me about such a big crime and such a wide range of implications?"
Zhu Yunwen looked embarrassed and said bravely: "Grandpa Huang, three months after my brother passed away, Grandma Huang also passed away..."
The emperor was stunned on the spot, his internal organs were tumbling, and his heart was in great pain. He opened and closed his lips several times, but could not say anything.
Yan Zhao was greatly worried and couldn't help but said: "Father..."
The emperor raised his hand to stop his words, and asked Zhu Yunwen in a trembling voice: "In that case, my old wife, my eldest son, my eldest grandson, and even many of my former colleagues, didn't they all die in front of me?"
Zhu Yunwen almost didn't dare to raise his head: "Yes, that's exactly it."
Even Yan Zhao lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at the emperor's expression at this time.
The silence in the inner hall was almost terrifying, and the only thing that could be heard was the emperor's heavy breathing. It was not known how long it had passed before Yan Zhao heard the emperor grit his teeth and squeeze out each word: "Keep asking!"
Yan Zhao accepted the order and turned to Zhu Yunwen again: "Are you coming back to this world after dying?"
He came here after being committed suicide...
Zhu Yunwen hesitated slightly, but still responded: "Yes."
Yan Zhao asked: "How many years have you been in office?"
Zhu Yunwen said shamelessly: "Thirty-two years."
Yan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "How many men and women are underneath you?"
here we go again!
It is actually very easy to make up lies. What is difficult is to make up lies continuously and make all the lies fit together seamlessly!
Zhu Yunwen said: "Eight men and three women."
Yan Zhao asked: "In which year were they all born?"
Zhu Yunwen reluctantly responded.
Yan Zhao asked: "In what year did the prince of Jin marry his wife, and from which family did he marry a lady?"
After Zhu Yunwen finished his answer, Yan Zhao asked about the King of Yan and the King of Zhou, and then responded again: "Previously, you said, in which year was the sixth prince born?"
Zhu Yunwen: "..."
Who can remember this nonsense made up casually?
But if you don't say it...
Isn’t this all missing?
He braved it for a while.
Yan Zhao smiled and said: "It's different from what the emperor and grandson said before."
Zhu Yunwen was instantly heartbroken.
The smile on Yan Zhao's face deepened: "Actually, I don't remember that I told you nonsense before to deceive you. I never thought you would admit it."
Zhu Yunwen: "..."
Zhu Yunwen couldn't bear it anymore and fell on the ground crying bitterly.
Yan Zhao raised his leg and kicked him lightly: "Your Majesty, it's better to tell the truth. This kind of interrogation may only happen to you once in your life, but I experience it every day. How could you hide it from me? What’s fake is just fake, it can’t be true.”
Zhu Yunwen was beaten and scolded again, and he had endured it all the way. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't hide anything, and his psychological defense collapsed.
"Grandpa Emperor, my grandson is unfilial and failed to maintain his great cause. He only served as emperor for a few years and was usurped from the throne. Wuwuwu——"
The emperor, immersed in grief, almost jumped up from the throne: "What?! You damn beast!!!"
I gave you thousands of miles of land and cleansed the court for you. How the hell did you turn the world into this?
He said sternly: "Who is it? Bei Yuan, a powerful official usurping the throne, or an uprising at the bottom?!"
"No," Zhu Yunwen thought of this and felt his heart bleed. He was really itching his teeth with hatred: "It's the traitor King Yan who actually raised an army to suppress Jingnan under the guise of Lord Qing!"
King Yan...
Fourth child? !
so far so good.
At least the meat is rotten in the home pot.
The emperor felt relieved a little, and then said seductively: "How dare this beast, Lao Si? Since I have appointed you as the grandson of the emperor, how could I not restrain the kings?"
Zhu Yunwen twitched and defended himself: "King Yan had evil intentions for a long time. When the emperor was still alive, he pretended to be very kind. When the emperor passed away, he revealed his true colors..."
The emperor subconsciously said: "Then you are really a waste. I have cleaned the court and beaten all the clan members for you. How can you still lose?"
Zhu Yunwen: "..."
My heart aches even more, woo woo woo!
But still holding back a sense of hatred, he knelt forward and kowtowed: "Grandpa Huang, how do you deal with your grandson? My grandson has no objections. It's just that King Yan is ambitious. If he is not removed, no matter who succeeds him, Who is he? He will raise troops sooner or later, Grandpa Huang!"
The emperor sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect this beast to be so bold!"
Zhu Yunwen cried and nodded in agreement.
The emperor asked again: "That beast, the Fourth Brother, rebelled. Where are his brothers? As a vassal, he openly raised troops to attack the capital. According to the arrangements I made during my lifetime, shouldn't the kings immediately send troops to fight against the thieves? You How did you lose?"
Zhu Yunwen: "..."
Zhu Yunwen was panicked for a moment and was speechless.
The emperor was furious: "What on earth have you done, you beast, to turn your own uncle against you? And what have you done to make your other uncles watch indifferently and watch the fourth one drag you off the throne?" !”
Zhu Yunwen felt guilty about being a thief, so he was so frightened that he was trembling and unable to speak.
When the emperor saw this, what was unclear?
"Yan Zhao!"
Yan Zhao then responded: "The child is here!"
The emperor pointed angrily at Zhu Yunwen and said with a stern voice: "I have been generous to him time and time again out of consideration for my family ties, but he doesn't know what to do and keeps hiding it. Damn it!"
"If you don't want to say it, then never say it again - take him down and burn his mouth with a soldering iron!"
Chapter 160
Burn his mouth with a soldering iron...
Zhu Yunwen just listened to these words and was so horrified that he pissed himself.
Because as the emperor's grandson, he knew that the emperor was definitely not saying this casually to intimidate him, but he really intended to do it!
Zhu Yunwen immediately withered and cried bitterly as he tried to climb up the jade steps: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is guilty. Please consider that my grandson is still young——"
Before he could finish his pleas and excuses, the emperor gasped and waved his hands impatiently.
Yan Zhao bowed to accept the order, waved his hand, and a nearby attendant came forward and took Zhu Yunzhen in his hand.
Zhu Yunwen's legs were trembling, and his back was sweating at some point. He was determined to beg for mercy again, so the waiter who dragged him was quick and took out a handkerchief, balled it up and blocked his mouth.
Yan Zhao took the person to the prison and interrogated him personally.
The soldering iron needs to be used, but before that, he still has to make it clear what he needs to say. If not, what is the pro-military capital's mansion used for?
…
The personal attendant approached cautiously and respectfully asked the emperor if he wanted to hold the lamp. After the emperor's cold and impatient glance, he quickly bowed to apologize and stepped back with a gentle step.
The emperor sat quietly for a long time on the gorgeous and spacious dragon chair without a trace of warmth. His expression was panicked, and his mind echoed with what his resurrected grandson told him.
Three months later, the princess suffered from dystocia and both mother and child died.
Next summer, my elder brother Sun Ying passed away.
Three months later, the queen passed away.
And in a few years from now, the eldest son he wanted to entrust to the world will also pass away...
The few people he cared about most all left before him.
He could hardly imagine how he spent his last days in his previous life.
In addition, the idiot Brother Wen was chosen by mistake to succeed him. Within a few years, the good world was turned into a mess!
It’s true that people have died, become ghosts, and can’t find peace in the underground!
The emperor sat quietly on the dragon chair, as if he had lost his soul. After a long time, he came back to his senses and felt the coolness on his cheeks. He raised his hand to touch it, but his hands were full of clammy coldness.
He looked at the remaining wetness on his hands in surprise.
It's tears.
He thought that he was the supreme emperor and that he had power all over the world. Since almost all his family members starved to death in the troubled times, he thought that he would never shed tears again!
He doesn't need this complete and utter weakness.
