Yun Si looked nervously from a distance:
"Evidently Emperor Wu Zong didn't expect that Master Jiu would start to take care of what he just talked about last night this morning. He even wanted to calm down and let the people below pour dirty water on Master Jiu. Who would have thought , Concubine Li relied on her divine favor to drag the emperor himself into it."
Kong Qing stretched his neck and looked past the people: "Master, will Master Jiu make it?"
Yun Si said in a low voice: "If it fails, then the name of the regent will no longer exist. Emperor Wu Zong will be even more unscrupulous. If it succeeds... then he will completely break up with Emperor Wu Zong. .”
Yun Si stared and looked over intently——
"Come here, take Concubine Li down. She is six months pregnant and cannot be frightened."
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li didn't know what was good or bad, and she didn't understand politics at all. She held her belly and knelt down towards Emperor Wu Zong:
"Your Majesty, the regent is cruel and unkind. If my father is even slightly injured, I won't be able to survive! Your Majesty promised me that I will save my father! The regent is murdering to vent his anger to avoid himself. Incompetence, incompetence that killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"
"Shua——!"
The sound of arrows pierced the air instantly.
Before Emperor Wu Zong could speak, Zuo Xiang, who was struggling in the hands of Lieutenant General Wan, had been shot through the head by a cold arrow and died on the spot!
"ah--!"
Concubine Li watched her father fall down with her own eyes and screamed in panic: "Dad!!"
Emperor Wu Zong didn't expect that Huo Shenzhi would dare to do this!
Before he, the emperor, could say anything, he actually acted first: "You..."
Huo Shenzhi put down his bow and arrow, and drew a cold arrow from the soldier beside him with his backhand: "Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to participate in politics. This is the rule of our ancestors. Your Majesty's beloved pet, as a concubine, interferes with law enforcement and should be punished."
He didn't even need a bow anymore. He was holding a long sword and his eyes fell on Concubine Li.
Concubine Li's feet went limp for an instant and she almost collapsed on the ground: "I...I am pregnant with an imperial descendant!"
However, Master Jiu seemed to have not heard what she said at all, and ordered the others: "The Prime Minister Zuo spoke out to defend the rebels, and they should be investigated strictly and the Nine Clan be punished."
Then, the majestic gaze instantly fell on Emperor Wu Zong: "When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Not to mention, a concubine who interferes in politics attempts to protect a traitorous woman. Does your Majesty say so?"
Emperor Wu Zong only felt that the sentence "the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty" was talking about him!
I want to kill him too!
How many years?
It has been six years since he took the throne.
The late emperor wanted to pass the throne to Lao Jiu before his death, but enemies from all over the border invaded and burned, killed and looted.
Countless cities were lost, the situation was in chaos, and the country was on the verge of collapse.
If he wants the throne, he must guard the capital and wait for the people below to die.
To lead the army on an expedition, the late emperor could only give the throne to others.
He resolutely chose to avenge the late emperor who was seriously injured in the expedition, expel the barbarians, and restore the country.
On the bed of the late emperor, weeping and crying, he ordered him to be the regent, and then gave himself the position of emperor.
Emperor Wu Zong now remembers that this throne was "given up".
I even remember how much Lao Jiu wanted the throne, and the unwillingness in his eyes when he resolutely gave up the throne.
To this day, Emperor Wu Zong looks at him again.
Emperor Wu Zong knew that his plan to kill his soldiers completely angered him, and he started a war with him openly!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Save me! The regent doesn't take your Majesty seriously. He actually wants to kill the emperor and the imperial concubine!" Concubine Li knew her advantage.
With a face very similar to that of the late queen, and with the child in her belly, she has no worries about not being able to become the queen.
But now, her father, who was the prime minister, is dead. If she dies, there will be no hope anymore.
Emperor Wu Zong now wants to slap Concubine Li!
Women can only do bad things!
Emperor Wu Zong's face was extremely ugly: "Old Jiu, by doing this, you don't take the imperial power seriously? You also want to kill so many officials and their family members. What's wrong with their family members!"
Officials immediately echoed below:
"The official was executed for fault, but the others were innocent. The regent acted cruelly and unkindly. If he really wants to kill so many innocent people today, then there will be anger from heaven and people..."
Master Jiu looked at Emperor Wu Zong with cold eyes and spoke slowly: "Didn't the family members of the traitors benefit from their rebellion? Since we share the blessings, we must share the misfortunes. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died fighting on the border. , if the ministers are guilty of dereliction of duty, they will apologize. Their nine tribes will also be punished. Only by setting an example and frightening all the officials will they not make the same mistake. From now on, they will never dare to treat the lives of those soldiers lightly. "
"Your Majesty, I still remember how the families of the first batch of soldiers in my hands handed over their children and grandchildren to me with peace of mind and joy."
"I still remember that the soldiers died in battle one by one. There was a shortage of troops and horses, and the border town urgently recruited troops for the first time. Those people did not hesitate at all. They sent their children to the battlefield and sent them to me. Their children will never be seen again. On a battlefield, the women and children in the border town only said that their children had brought glory to them."
"Subsequently, soldiers joined the battlefield one after another. There is still a folk song circulating in the border town."
"The last bowl of rice will be sent to be used as military rations."
"The last foot of cloth will be sent to make military uniforms."
"Last piece of clothing, put it on the stretcher."
"The last of my flesh and blood is sent to the battlefield."
With a fierce look in his eyes, he looked at Emperor Wu Zong: "Within a hundred miles of the border city in the west, nine out of ten households are empty. Only one household has only women left. If the people below hadn't stopped them, those women would have Take your swords and guns and go to the battlefield with you. This is first caused by the slack supply of food and grass, and then it is the disaster of leaked military information. If any of you dare to refute even a single sentence of this king, today my king will send you to the battlefield with those who are hungry. There are soldiers who have gone away and never come back."
A sharp cry echoed at the foot of the imperial city.
On the carriage, Kong Qing burst into tears just listening to it.
The battlefield has always been cruel. She went there last night and said that she couldn't see any familiar faces.
It turns out... they are all dead, all dead.
Yun Si lowered her eyebrows and held back tears.
Only the sound of mourning in the distance was heard, gradually rising.
Soon, the people knelt down one after another, mourning and mourning, which echoed throughout the imperial city.
Lieutenant General Wan felt sad, and the scenes of those soldiers' deaths seemed to reappear before his eyes.
He turned around and looked at the sycophants who were detained aside: "Do you still have the nerve to cry? Your relatives are so fat from eating and still feel that they are innocent? The people who really should cry are the people on the border who have lost their loved ones. Women and children of flesh and blood!”
