All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 100 My hands protect my people
There is a rumor that goes like this: It is better to have your head twisted by the masters of the palace than to come out of the punishment department alive.

Although the masters of the palaces are terrifying, they are nothing more than punishments. If they are fatal, they will come in with white knives and come out with red knives.

But the punishment department is different. The punishment inside is even more frightening. You can live and feel the pain clearly.

Until the master above gives an order, it is like receiving a gift, and you can't die.

The kneeling servants kowtowed one by one, just to die in peace.

"Please, my dear concubine, please give this slave a happy life, please, your Majesty."

Listening to the begging for mercy one after another, Ling Xiao frowned.

The Punishment Department, I heard from Li Dequan at the time that the best imperial doctor in the palace was not in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but in the Punishment Department.

Those who were placed in the Penalty Department were all heinous, and almost no one came out. Even if they came out alive, they must have suffered great torture, and their spirits were even more insane.

The reason why the Department of Punishment has the best imperial doctor is to hang the criminal's life, to keep them alive and experience all the punishments in the world.

I feel extremely uncomfortable, even if the crime is extremely heinous, at worst, give him a good time, anyway, that person is going to die, why such torture?What kind of hatred is it?
Obviously the best imperial physicians are not used to cure diseases and save people, but to use such a dark way, but they are used by the people in the palace as a means to scare people.

"and many more!"

Seeing those people being dragged away and crying, Ling Xiao couldn't help it.

Even if he has to face these sycophants, he must prevent being usurped by the court and survive.

However, he could not just watch these slaves being tortured to death by inhuman means.

This sound seemed to be like the dawn light. Those servants opened their eyes wide and looked at the emperor. The one who saved them would be the emperor.

Huo Chengjun was startled, what is the emperor doing?

The emperor has never cared about other people's lives. When people in the palace commit crimes, they are usually sold out. The emperor never asks questions. Is it to protect Wei Xiang'er?
Clenching her fists tightly, she felt chills in her heart. The emperor treated her so well on the surface, but secretly, everything was planned for Wei Xianger.

He forced out a smile, approached Ling Xiao, and put his hand on his arm, "Your Majesty, it is a crime for these people to spy on Zichen Palace, but if they are treated like this, I am afraid it will stain your eyes and hand it over to the Punishment Department. It couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Turning her eyes slightly, she looked at Huo Chengjun, such a beautiful woman, there was no desire for power on her face at all, but what she said was even scarier than this autumn wind.

There was a lot of movement in the main hall, Lin Ziye came out and leaned on the pillars to bask in the sun.

They are just some slaves, but for these slaves, the emperor would rather expose his usual sloppy character.

"My concubine, these people have committed capital crimes, but they have served in the Zichen Palace for a long time, if they leave, there will be a large part of the vacancies, I am not used to it."

"Forgive them and give them a chance to make up for their mistakes. I am not used to Zichen Palace's replacement. If I commit a crime again in the future, I will send it to the Department of Punishment. I will never forgive my life."

Although Huo Chengjun was dissatisfied, the emperor had already spoken, so he couldn't say anything.

Originally, there was a chance to remove Wei Xianger's eyeliner, but the emperor was protecting her, so he could only take a step back.

"Since the emperor has said so, the concubine will spare their lives. However, these people have ulterior motives and are transferred to remote places, so the emperor can feel at ease."

Although these words were for Ling Xiao's safety, they also contained private goods.

How could Ling Xiao not understand in his heart, but he just opened and closed one eye.

"Don't worry, Concubine Ai, it will be fine for Li Dequan to be transferred afterwards. However, Concubine Ai hasn't slept yet, why don't you rest in Zichen Hall, I'm going to watch the memorial."

I was a little worried that the emperor would stay away because of his aggressive methods.

I didn't expect the emperor to keep her in the Zichen Palace. In this case, it was a great favor.

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

The memorial sitting in the hand of the study could not be approved no matter what.

Those eunuchs were supposed to be damned, and the eyeliner that had been planted around him would have been removed, which would be beneficial to him.

However, they struggled to survive in the cracks and served their masters, but when they were dying, no one helped them.

Originally, he wanted to use Huo Chengjun's hand to remove Zichen Palace's eyeliner, but when he really wanted to do it, he heard the reputation of the Punishment Department, but he stopped.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be soft-hearted!"

With a sigh, Lin Ziye appeared from behind the screen.

What happened just now is clear, but it's not easy for him to intervene.

However, if he is like Dong Zhuo, he must ask the emperor to pull out these eyeliners.

It's useless for these people to keep them, and even later, they will bite back, but the emperor was moved with compassion that shouldn't be there.

"What happened just now shocked Hanlin. I also thought about killing them before, but seeing the desire to survive in their eyes, I really can't do it, let alone a place like the Department of Punishment..."

"But the emperor is so kind-hearted, how can he break Dong Zhuo?"

The old man's words hit the nail on the head.

Ling Xiao put down the booklet in his hand, although walking was difficult, but this was not a reason to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"I really want this world, but I just want to give the people peace and stability. Only when the world is unified can I save my life and the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment."

"If the methods are ruthless, no different from Dong Zhuo, what hope can the people of the world see in me?"

"Hanlin, I want to be a Mingjun!"

Use your own compassion to protect your people.

Lin Ziye stood where he was, staring at Ling Xiao in a daze for a while.

He has served so many kings, which king has no unjust, false or wrong case?

Which king's subordinates don't shed blood like rivers?

Only today's little emperor said that the current situation could be saved without a single soldier and a river of blood. He only thought it was ridiculous, but he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

"Since the emperor has made a decision, no matter whether he succeeds or not, I will follow to the death."

The way of a king, perhaps the emperor, will never learn it.

But for some reason, there is a belief in his mind that in the future, the person standing in front of him will definitely be the best emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

"Thank you Hanlin for your understanding. I will definitely work hard. As for those slaves, no matter whether they change their minds or not, they will always be grateful for my kindness in their hearts. Maybe there will be unexpected results."

"I hope so!"

Hanlin opened the window, stood side by side with Ling Xiao, looked at the little eunuchs outside, wept with joy one by one, saved his head, and was so happy that he died.

How many people can be happy from the bottom of their hearts in this palace that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones?
