After rebirth, I became a national teacher
Chapter 425
Thinking of that outcome, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
He was filled with immense regret, wondering why he had been so possessed as to claim the merits of the God of Du'e as his own.
His greed is about to bring disaster to himself and his entire family!
Emperor Yong'an's heart sank.
Cui Wenhai's performance has already shown that there was something fishy about the so-called containment of the Xingde plague!
Every day the plague in the capital is delayed, the risk of it getting out of control increases.
Emperor Yong'an had no patience to deal with the ministers in front of him, and shouted angrily:
"Someone! Take him to the imperial prison and torture him!"
Cui Wenhai was so frightened that his body felt hot, and the ministers around him all smelled a foul odor.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
Cui Wenhai cried and kowtowed.
Even though the Jinyiwei today is far inferior to that of the previous dynasty.
But the horror of the imperial prison remained unchanged.
Entering the imperial prison would make one unable to live or die. Rather than suffer such torture, he would rather confess voluntarily.
"Your Majesty, the Xingde plague was contained in time only because of the intervention of the God of Du'e! I was bewitched and took the credit for the God's work. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Lord Du'e, it's another god who takes action!
Emperor Yong'an did not bother to pursue Cui Wenhai's crime of deceiving the emperor, and hurriedly asked for details.
Cui Wenhai did not dare to hide anything and immediately told everyone what he had heard and seen in Xingde County.
Upon learning that the gods had cleared all the patients in the entire county in just one or two days, Emperor Yong'an suddenly felt infinite hope.
He stood up eagerly and shouted:
"You dare to steal the credit of the God! Someone, take this traitor out immediately and beat him to death!"
Cui Wenhai thought he would be beheaded. No matter how terrible it was, it would only take a moment.
But he never expected that he, as a civil official, would be beaten to death by the monarch's order.
He was terrified at the thought of the pain of being beaten to death.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty!"
Cui Wenhai collapsed all over and burst into tears.
However, Emperor Yong'an did not give in, so he was dragged out of the palace and executed.
The shrill screams immediately spread into the hall, and many ministers turned pale involuntarily.
But no one was so blind as to say that Emperor Yong'an should not treat his civil officials so cruelly.
Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
The reason why Cui Wenhai was beaten to death on the spot was, on the one hand, to let the ministers know the consequences of deceiving the emperor and to show that the king's majesty should not be offended.
On the other hand, it is also to bring attention to the God.
Although the God may not care about such empty reputation, when he needs help from others, he naturally has to show his attitude.
If killing Cui Wenhai in a cruel way can please the God, then it is worth killing a hundred of them.
It was not until Cui Wenhai died that Emperor Yong'an issued another order:
"Minister of the Imperial Ministry, listen up! Immediately prepare the highest standard of sacrifice outside the Du'e Temple. I want to ask the God to show His holiness!"
As he said this, Emperor Yong'an secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the gods would give him, a human emperor, some face and show their divine power during the sacrifice.
In this way, not only will the plague in the capital be saved, but the stigma against him will also be dispelled.
After all, if he was really an emperor hated by God, it would be impossible for the gods to appear to help him.
But he never expected that before the court meeting was over, a guard came hurriedly to report:
"Your Majesty, the ambassador of Huimin Pharmacy is outside the palace and has important matters to report regarding the plague!"
Everyone's heart tightened.
The ambassador of Huimin Pharmacy is not qualified to enter the court meeting.
Anything that could make him disregard rules and etiquette and report it to a higher level during the morning court session must be extremely urgent.
I’m just afraid that the plague in the capital will cause some serious changes.
"Quickly send him in!"
Emperor Yong'an immediately gave the order.
The court meeting was naturally delayed as well.
Emperor Yong'an could not hide his anxiety, and the atmosphere in the entire court became tense and depressed.
There are completed eggs under the overturned nest.
If the plague in the capital city gets out of control, they and their families will be at risk of contracting the disease and dying.
The plague takes lives regardless of status.
After a long wait, the ambassador of Huimin Pharmacy finally arrived outside the court hall, breathless.
"The Ambassador of Xuan Huimin Pharmacy is here to meet you!"
The middle-aged scholar outside the door quickly straightened his clothes and walked into the hall.
The reason why he came to ask for an audience at this time was, on the one hand, because the matter was indeed of great importance, and on the other hand, he also had the small thought of wanting to show his face in front of the emperor.
Just as he was about to perform the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows, Emperor Yong'an immediately interrupted him:
"No need to be polite, just talk about the plague in the capital!"
The Huimin Pharmacy ambassador immediately beamed with joy and said exaggeratedly:
"Your Majesty, I am so happy!"
Emperor Yong'an didn't understand what was going on, and the court officials were also all confused.
"Why are you so happy?"
The Huimin Pharmacy Ambassador said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, the Divine Master Du'e has appeared!"
