"Tell me what I should do with you!" After thinking for a moment, Emperor Liu asked without any emotion, his eyes showing indifference.
This question was like opening a valve, and Wang Yinwu's fearful emotions were completely vented. He kept kowtowing, making a loud bang on the ground, causing his head to break and bleed, and his head to be dizzy. He kept chanting: "My lord, Damn it! I deserve to die!"
Maybe ten, maybe twenty, maybe more. When Wang Yinwu was about to lose consciousness, Emperor Liu finally shouted impatiently: "That's enough!"
After saying this, Wang Yinwu finally stopped his crazy movements. Blood stains flowed down his cheeks, and the clean ground was stained with a layer of blood. Wang Yinwu was confused and said based on instinct: "I will be dead and you will defile the palace. Please, Your Majesty." Punishment..."
Narrowing his eyes slightly and staring at Wang Yinwu for a while, Emperor Liu said coldly: "Get out!"
Wang Yinwu didn't react and said blankly: "Your Majesty, minister, minister..."
"Are you going to kowtow to death in this palace to gain loyalty with death?" Emperor Liu scolded.
These words seemed to bring a glimmer of light to Wang Yinwu, and his somewhat cloudy eyes became a little brighter, and he bowed again: "I would rather die! Your Majesty!"
"It seems that I can no longer command you!" Emperor Liu's words were truly frightening.
Wang Yinwu was a little at a loss and couldn't deal with himself. He trembled for a moment, struggled to get up, and worshiped with blood and tears: "Your Majesty, are you resigning?"
Emperor Liu did not answer, but just stared at him, his eyes full of coldness. Seeing that Wang Yinwu could no longer hold on, he said lightly: "For the sake of you taking the initiative to confess your feelings and plead guilty, I Let’s spare your life for now!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yinwu was immediately excited when he heard this. He wiped away the blood and tears and hurriedly thanked him.
"Don't be too busy thanking me! This matter is not over yet. Your head is only temporarily placed on you. As for whether it can be kept, it depends on your next performance!" Emperor Liu said coldly: "Take care of it yourself and go find it. The doctor is treating the injury. This matter must not be leaked. It is up to you how to keep it secret!"
"Yes!" Wang Yinwu nodded repeatedly: "Then Mr. Lu..."
"Is that something you should be concerned about? I think you are still living in a dream!" Emperor Liu's tone suddenly changed.
Wang Yinwu trembled and his lips trembled: "Chen, minister——"
"Get out!" Emperor Liu once again spat out the word "get out" without quality.
"Yes!" Wang Yinwu responded awkwardly.
"Also, let me investigate and deal with the Hexi matter clearly. If the matter is handled well, we will leave it to you. If not, you can take care of your own affairs!" Emperor Liu emphasized.
"My lord, I understand!"
After gathering himself for a while, Wang Yinwu left the Chongzheng Hall as if running for his life. He hid his face and went out. Another wave of dizziness hit him. His figure could not help but sway, and he held on to the pillars on the hall platform to stabilize himself.
It was already afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Emperor Liu's angry reaction was not too unexpected. However, despite being so angry, he walked out of Chongzheng Hall alive, which still made him feel unreal.
There was blood on his forehead, tears in his eyes, sweat on his back, and even his crotch had become wet. Just now, Wang Yinwu was really scared to the point of peeing.
Facts have proved that Wang Yinwu is still afraid of death. He just suppressed his fear in order to get a chance to survive. Now, he just won the bet temporarily.
Even after walking through this hellish gate, Wang Yinwu was still filled with fear when he recalled the scene where he had just met the Holy Spirit. At this moment, if he could do it all over again, he might not choose to confess to Emperor Liu again. That would really require great determination and courage. , and after this experience, all Wang Yinwu's courage was almost exhausted.
However, the head on the neck was finally saved, even if it was temporary. In order to preserve this glimmer of hope, Wang Yinwu will probably work harder in the future and will not dare to hold back when facing Emperor Liu.
At the same time, a trace of resentment was fermenting in his heart. Of course, if he didn't dare to target Emperor Liu, he would have to target Lu Duoxun.
Although many problems often arise from oneself, there are only a few people in the world who are good at self-reflection and looking for problems by themselves. On the contrary, it is much easier to blame others, and it is easier to comfort yourself.
In Wang Yinwu's view, it was Lu Duoxun who dragged him into the water, and he also brought the danger to himself. With this understanding, the emotion called jealousy also filled Wang Yinwu's heart, devouring his soul.
Lu Duoxun and Wang Yinwu, a pair of close friends and allies, went from being inseparable, to betraying each other, to turning against each other. In just a few days, they completed a complete transformation.
Things in the world are unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the development of things can always surprise people. Wang Yinwu, who had just experienced such a terrible horror, was full of thoughts at this time. In addition to resolutely and thoroughly completing Emperor Liu's instructions to seek forgiveness, he might also want to see what would happen to Lu Duoxun. He has temporarily passed the test, so what will happen to Lu Duoxun? Judging from Emperor Liu's attitude just now, Lu Duoxun will definitely not be able to please him.
Wang Yinwu foolishly participated in the imperial party struggle and the struggle for prime ministerial power. Although it was a taboo, he, Lu Duoxun, as a prime minister, formed a secret alliance with party members and colluded with Wude Si. Wouldn't it be a death wish for him? The way?
...
Wang Yinwu's guess was not wrong. Emperor Liu was indeed full of anger at this time, both towards Wang Yinwu and Lu Duoxun.
After so many years, he has never been so dissatisfied and disgusted with Lu Duoxun, and even had murderous intentions. In the past, no matter how unwise Lu Duosun was, it was still within the limit of his tolerance. No matter how he interacted with Zhao Pu, it was within the reasonable range.
However, colluding with Wu Desi was obviously a violation of the bottom line and a taboo. For Emperor Liu, if he violated his taboo, there would be no good ending.
How could a secret service agency like the Wude Division become a tool used in the political struggle of the imperial court to attack political opponents? This situation was equally bad in nature and deeply abhorred Emperor Liu, something he had always been wary of.
If Wang Yinwu just came to inform Lu Duoxun of his conspiracy against Zhao Pu, maybe he would hold back for a while, watch the excitement, and sit back and watch them fight.
However, when Wude Si also got involved, thoughts of destruction swirled in his mind. Not only did Lu Duoxun be cleaned up, but at the same time, Wude Si also had to clean up.
What Wang Yinwu didn't know was that, as Emperor Liu said, his head was only temporarily stored in his neck, and his outcome had already been decided in Emperor Liu's heart. Perhaps, since he colluded with Lu Duoxun, it was already destined that he would be able to escape guilt and avoid death unless he took the initiative to plead guilty to Emperor Liu.
In the Chongzheng Hall, Yantuo and two chamberlains knelt on the ground, carefully cleaning up the remaining bloodstains, not daring to make any big noise.
Emperor Liu stood aside, staring at a picture, a picture of the personnel structure of the imperial court. Zhao Pu's name was at the top of the list, while Emperor Liu's eyes flashed over the names of ministers such as Lu Duoxun, Zhao Kuangyi, and Wang Zhu. His eyes were cold and intimidating. He stayed on Zhao Pu's name for the longest time. of.
"Go and find Zhang Dejun for me!" Emperor Liu ordered after a long time.
"yes!"
Now, in Emperor Liu's view, Wude Si was no longer trustworthy enough. After silent reflection, the problem still appeared in the employment of people.
If Li Chongju was still in office, this problem would never have arisen, right? Such thoughts flashed through Emperor Liu's mind, but soon, the feeling of regret was extinguished by Emperor Liu. How could there be any problem with his decision-making? At most, it was too casual when he appointed Wang Yinwu.
On the other hand, Emperor Liu's suspicious nature forced Emperor Liu to wonder if Zhang Dejun, the Imperial City Secretary, might have some connection with the ministers.
It is nothing new for eunuch slaves to collude with foreign ministers. Zhang Dejun is smart, but the smarter the person, the more stupid he is, which is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The first person Emperor Liu suspected was Zhao Pu.
