Chapter 518: Asking for forgiveness

living room.

Not long after the three Gao brothers sat down, Gao Quan and Ye Yan walked in from outside.

"Master, Ye Yan is here."

Ye Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I, Ye Yan, greet the head of the family! I greet the second master! I greet the third master!"

Gao Yanqing looked up at Ye Yan and said, "Ye Yan, tell me everything you know!"

"Yes, master!"

Next, Ye Yan recounted what happened in detail.

After listening to Ye Yan's story, Gao Yanqing waved his hand and said, "You two should leave first!"

"Yes, master!"

Gao Quan and Ye Yan bowed together, turned around and left the reception room.

"Third brother, how do you usually discipline Jialin? It's already a certain time. Don't you have any idea of ​​what money you can and can't earn?"

Gao Yanming immediately stood up and bowed, "Brother, it was my fault for not disciplining Jialin, but that Wu guy didn't even give you face, isn't he too arrogant?"

"Third brother is right. Wu Kaiyuan has never taken our Gao family seriously. We can't just let this matter go." said Gao Yanwen, the second master of the Gao family.

Gao Yanqing shook his head helplessly, "Second brother, third brother, Wu Kaiyuan is just following orders. The matter of Jialin ends here. Don't do anything without my permission."

"Now that the Yan army is besieging the city, the demise of Yue State is inevitable. I'm sure you can imagine how His Majesty feels right now. At this critical moment, our Gao family must not cause trouble for His Majesty, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Second brother, you must give orders immediately. From now on, all members of the tribe are not allowed to go out unless it is important. Even if they have to go out, they must keep a low profile. Third brother, you go back and prepare for Jialin's funeral!"

"yes, Sir!"

Gao Yanwen and Gao Yanming stood up together, bowed, turned around and left the reception room.

The State of Yue was about to be destroyed. At this time, Hegu City was at a historical node where the old and the new were alternating. People's hearts were captured and everyone was making plans for the future. That was why they had to act more cautiously.

As the saying goes, one wrong step can lead to eternal damnation. Gao Yanqing knew very well that Murong Zhengming was in great danger at this moment, so not only could the Gao family not cause trouble for Wu Kaiyuan, but he, as the head of the Gao family, had to immediately go to the palace to explain to Murong Zhengming the Gao family's attitude towards the matter.

"Someone, prepare a car!"

"Yes, master!"

Do it as soon as you think of it. Gao Yanqing stood up and walked out.

Afterwards, a carriage slowly drove out of Gao's mansion and headed directly towards the imperial palace...

Royal Palace

Royal study room.

Crown Prince Murong Haotian, Prince Jin Murong Haoqiong, and Prince Rui Murong Haokong stood in a row respectfully.

Murong Zhengming looked up at the three princes and said, "I'm sure you've all seen the Yan army's flyer. Tell us what you think about it!"

Prince Murong Haotian immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Father, I think the Yan army sent out leaflets in order to win over the defenders and civilians of Kyoto, and then achieve the goal of capturing Hegu City without bloodshed. It can be said that they have sinister intentions!"

"Father, I think that Lin Feng is willing to give up the bombing of River Valley City and offer huge benefits to the defenders and common people in Kyoto just to reduce the resistance when Yan's army attacks the city. We must not let Lin Feng's conspiracy succeed." Prince Jin Murong Haoqiong said.

"Father, I think what we need to do now is to regain the lost hearts of the people and strengthen the army's fighting will. Only when the military and civilians are united can we defend Hegu City." Prince Rui Murong Haokong said.

Murong Zhengming nodded. "The Yan army is besieging the city, and the people in the city are in a panic. My Murong family is at a critical moment of life and death. The three princes must cooperate sincerely to overcome the difficulties together."

"Compared to the people's will, the army's will is even more important. Yan Jun's leaflets are scattered all over Kyoto. There will definitely be people who can't resist Lin Feng's temptation and take risks."

"I order you to immediately form a law enforcement team to patrol the military camps day and night. Once you find a group of rebels, kill them all without mercy. For suspicious people, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let them go. Go!"

"I obey the order! I resign!"

The three princes all bowed and turned to leave the imperial study...

Murong Zhengming knew very well the character of the nobles of Yue State. They could share wealth but not adversity. And if he wanted them to work for Yue State, forget it.

Murong Zhengming doesn't trust anyone now, especially the children of aristocratic families. That is why he decisively ordered the execution of Gao Jialin. He wants to use Gao Jialin's death to intimidate all the aristocratic families in Kyoto.

At this moment, Cao Chun hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Central Secretariat is kneeling outside the palace to plead guilty."

Asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick? Murong Zhengming thought about it carefully and immediately understood. He couldn't help but curse in his heart - old fox!

Murong Zhengming issued an order to kill Gao Jialin. In addition to intimidating all the nobles in Kyoto, he also had another most important purpose, which was to see the reaction of the Gao family.

The Gao family is the largest clan in the State of Yue. If they dare to cause trouble, Murong Zhengming will take the opportunity to send troops to exterminate the entire Gao family. This way, he can not only regain the lost people's hearts, but also deter all the clans to the greatest extent. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Gao Yanqing's act of asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on his back clearly showed that he had seen through Murong Zhengming's plan.

Murong Zhengming wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but the big fat chicken of the Gao family did not fall into the trap, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Let him in!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Chun cupped his hands, turned and left the imperial study.

After a while, Gao Yanqing came in with his upper body naked and carrying a few thorns on his back, then knelt down under the imperial desk, "Your Majesty, I am your humble servant!"

Murong Zhengming immediately stood up and came to Gao Yanqing, "My dear Gao, please stand up quickly. What are you doing? How can you say that you are a guilty minister?"

"Your Majesty, I failed to discipline my children properly, and my young family members were so bold and reckless that they embezzled the hard-earned money of the people in the city, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and seriously damaged the national interests of Dai Viet. Your Majesty, please punish them severely."

Murong Zhengming nodded, "So it turns out that Lord Gao is asking for forgiveness for Gao Jialin's matter. I plan to find a chance to explain this matter to you!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain to me. He deserves it. He has committed such a serious crime. Even if Your Majesty forgives him, I will still clean up the Gao family."

Murong Zhengming nodded with a look of satisfaction, "Your Majesty Gao is loyal to the country, and I am very pleased! Now, our Great Yue is facing a life-and-death situation, it is time for you to serve the country, so hurry up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Lord Gao, you are the head of all the officials. I will leave the normal work of each government office in the city to you. Go back and work hard!"

"I obey the decree! I resign!"

Gao Yanqing bowed, turned around and left the imperial study...
