Others were worried about Emperor Mingde's body and did not dare to stop him too seriously, but Yonglebo really held on to Emperor Mingde's thigh with all his strength: "Your Majesty, calm down! There may be a misunderstanding about this matter. Don’t be impulsive, Your Majesty!”
Emperor Mingde gave Yong Lebo a sword with his backhand: "Get away! If anyone dares to stop him again, I will chop off his head with one strike of my sword!"
Feeling the resistance around him, Emperor Mingde spoke angrily.
Those who were just following the trend were suddenly frightened and did not dare to move.
They suddenly remembered Emperor Mingde's decisive killing when he first came to power.
Holding a sword, kill aristocratic families, royal families, and traitors.
Each sword was struck without hesitation, and he just relied on a sword to carve out a bloody path to the dragon chair.
However, because they had begun to cultivate themselves over the years, they almost forgot about the emperor's temper.
Now after so many years, the emperor seems to have changed, but also seems to have not changed at all.
If they were really accidentally killed here today, where would they go to reason?
King Zhuang was about to die, and even those who originally stood with King Zhuang were swaying now.
King Xuan and King Yi stood aside and looked at each other, neither of them moved.
They are still confused now.
The three of them were fighting fiercely before, but they didn't expect that King Zhuang would collapse as soon as he said it would collapse, and they were a little hard to accept it.
Without anyone to stop him, Emperor Mingde took his sword and headed towards Prince Zhuang.
"Father! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time!"
Prince Zhuang was so frightened that his eyes and nose ran with tears. At this moment, he could no longer care about face or dishonesty. He rolled and crawled to his knees on the ground and hugged Emperor Mingde's legs.
"Die to me!"
Emperor Mingde looked at his hopeless look, and his eyes became even more murderous.
He raised his sword high and was about to cut it down. King Zhuang was desperate to survive and seeing the ruthless look on his face, he suddenly stretched out his hand and used all his strength to push Emperor Mingde aside.
"It's all because of you! Forget it about your partiality for the crown prince and that sick boy! The prince is dead! He's been dead for so many years! You actually want to train that sick boy's son to sit on the throne! It's true that God has eyes, sick boy Yangzi’s son is also a sick Yangzi! Not to mention living to the age of a prince, whether he can live to adulthood is a question!”
"This is all retribution!"
"For the remaining princes, the third brother's mother-in-law is from the Chengguo Duke's palace, and her maternal family has many prominent followers. The fifth brother's mother-in-law is from the Cui Guogong's palace, and she is from the Cui family, a century-old family with a great reputation. There are countless people who can just shout. All the literati have stood up to speak for him, but I am the only one! What does it mean if I am the only one? My mother and concubine are from a business background, and my maternal family has only a name but no real power!"
"In the battle for the throne, either he will die or I will die. If I don't fight, it will be like killing me! Aren't you allowed to give yourself some leverage?! What's wrong with me!"
The tension in Prince Zhuang's mind was suddenly broken when he knelt on the ground holding Emperor Mingde's thigh and saw the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Ask them, who doesn't want to be in the position? Who doesn't have any evil thoughts in their mind? Isn't it just to scare them that you're going to attack me today? Just because I come from the lowest background, do I deserve to be a stepping stone for others?!"
Prince Zhuang also collapsed emotionally and shouted hysterically at Emperor Mingde.
As soon as these treacherous words came out, Yonglebo, who had been struck by a sword, was completely in despair.
Hopeless! There is really no hope this time.
King Xuan and King Yi suddenly turned pale. King Zhuang did not forget to drag them into trouble even when he was about to die. They were really good brothers!
"My son, I would never dare to think like this! Father, please take a closer look!"
The two kneeled on the ground and spoke in unison.
Emperor Mingde looked at the crazy Prince Zhuang and heard him admit it himself. He laughed angrily: "Wow! You are such a good son of mine. He is finally willing to speak his mind! I am the one who co-wrote these things." Is that what you did?”
"It's you! Who is it that you're forcing?! You're too old to step down and sit still in a high position and watch us fight without stopping. Isn't it just to keep your position secure? It’s all because of you!”
Prince Zhuang's eyes were scarlet, and he pointed at Emperor Mingde with a look of risk.
He couldn't survive today, so he had to vent his anger happily.
"Come here! Hold him down!"
Emperor Mingde looked at Prince Zhuang's unrepentant look and raised his voice to give the order.
A group of guards rushed in from the door and stepped forward to catch King Zhuang and pin him to the ground.
Emperor Mingde stepped forward with a stern expression, holding his sword: "I have already given you a chance."
"Yonglebo's Mansion colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and captured many boys and girls and gave them to the former dynasty's great master to train as killers. I just stood still because of your face."
"It's a pity that I didn't expect that my fourth son would be so ambitious and would not hesitate to collude with foreigners to get me down."
King Zhuang looked at Emperor Mingde in disbelief. He did not expect that Emperor Mingde had already known about this matter.
Emperor Mingde raised the long sword in his hand: "I will send you down today to save you from torture. This can be regarded as fulfilling the father-son bond between you and me in this life."
"No--"
Before King Zhuang finished speaking, his entire head was chopped off by Emperor Mingde.
King Xuan and King Yi turned pale when they saw it, and they were a little stunned in place. They didn't expect that Emperor Mingde could really be so cruel as to attack his son.
It was the first time for some of the civil servants in the court to see such a bloody scene. Some of them couldn't stand the excitement and rolled their eyes and fainted.
Yonglebo covered the wound on his shoulder and looked at Emperor Mingde with fear.
"Come here! Draw up the decree!"
"The King of Zhuang, Zhongli Changqi, collaborated with the enemy and rebelled against the country. He was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner. He was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after his death! His family members..."
Emperor Mingde closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear it, and finally spoke: "Kill all his family members who are over three years old!"
"Yonglebo Mansion participated in the rebellion and was deprived of the title. All the nine clans, men, women, old and young, were imprisoned in the sky prison and executed after three days! The rest of the people, as long as they participated, no one was spared! Lan Bi failed to supervise well and was deprived of the title. Give Bai Ling one!"
After Emperor Mingde finished speaking, he dropped the sword in his hand and staggered.
Eunuch Liu quickly stepped forward to support him. Emperor Mingde turned and left without looking at the people in the palace again.
After he left, there was a deathly silence in the hall.
The group of people didn't even have the intention to discuss it, they all left the hall with white faces.
Duke Zhen Guo let out a sigh of relief when he walked out of the hall. Someone followed him, it was Cao Zhongling.
He looked at the sky and sighed: "The sky is going to change."
Duke Zhenguo echoed: "Yes! Things are about to change..."
After the two of them finished speaking, they separated and walked outside the palace.
I don’t know what made the emperor change his decision now?
When Ji Fengshou returned home, he excitedly told Ji Changying and the others about the incident.
Ji Shilin and others were dumbfounded.
I have a biological mother!
They thought that the eldest master was talking about business seriously when he went to court, but they didn't expect that their lives were still in danger. If the emperor said to kill people, he would kill them!
