drunk red

The elephant, but it still gave me some confidence, so you and those imperial physicians who surrendered to you didn't see anything.But, cough cough cough..."

The emperor coughed violently, and the maid kept running along his back from behind: "Let me explain everything clearly.

I don't have much time, I don't have much time, I want to leave Qi'er a clean court, I can only use the fastest and most effective method to solve the Li family, so I made a very tempting one I am seriously ill, and the crown prince is far away at the border. This is really the best timing. Although it is very risky and easy to fail, you took the bait, and failed because you were too aggressive and insufficiently prepared.

In this way, it doesn't matter if there are still some old forces in the court who are hindering, just treat it as a trial for Qi'er, as long as you get rid of this big cancer, I will be able to go with peace of mind, why bother about a few days sooner or later? . "

After saying so much in one breath, the emperor held his chest and took a few deep breaths: "It's all over, it's meaningless, let you all understand, no matter what, you can't leave with regrets, I am, and you Also. Also, there is no need for another trial." He pushed away the handkerchief that the maid was about to wipe the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and leaned weakly on the back cushion, waved his hand, and said hoarsely: "Press it down. Concubine Li Gui A piece of white silk will be given, the second prince will give poisonous wine, and Prime Minister Li and his nine clans will all be executed. All property will fill the treasury."

When the three of them heard this, their faces paled instantly, and the second prince sat slumped on the ground, muttering something, as if he had lost his mind.Prime Minister Li was obviously ready to fail. He lowered his head, lost all strength in his body, and hung limply on the guard's arm.

"No, no, spare my child, let me replace him, please, he is your son, your flesh and blood. He doesn't deserve to die, you can imprison him, exile him, don't let him die, Please." Li Guifei suddenly became flustered and wanted to go up the hall.

It is impossible for the prince to be executed as well. There has never been such a precedent. No matter what mistakes the royal family made, the most serious ones are exile and imprisonment. Execution is impossible. Concubine Li kicked and beat her guards like crazy, Want to lean on the emperor's side.

"Father, you only have the prince Xue Zhengqi in your eyes, never me, have you?" The second prince shook the two guards forcefully, screaming with bloodshot eyes.

"Don't be afraid, father will go down to accompany you soon." The emperor shook his head, waved his hands, and turned his face away from looking at them.

"No, no, he is your flesh and blood, he is your child, he is the backbone of this dynasty, you can't kill him!! No..." Concubine Li Gui shouted frantically, her voice was sharp and piercing, and she kept screaming in the hall. The reverberation pierced into everyone's ears, making people's hairs stand on end.

The two guards looked at the emperor hesitantly, and seeing that he didn't look over at all, they immediately turned around and walked out of the hall, dragging Concubine Li who was still struggling.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Li Guifei screamed to the sky in despair, and the two guards couldn't help shaking. The voice echoed in the hall and spread to the sky outside, startling the courtyard. A few birds that landed on the tree fluttered away.

After her voice subsided, she slowly lowered her head without making another sound, her feet dragged on the red carpet of the main hall, making a slight rubbing sound.

No one knew what she was thinking. There were almost a hundred people in the hall, and there was not even a gasp. When Concubine Li passed by the Second Prince and Prime Minister Li, she said softly without raising her head. : "Son, mother is waiting for you below."

"I don't want to die, father." The second prince suddenly jumped up when he heard this sentence: "Father, I don't want to die. You spared me. I was wrong. I don't want to be emperor, but mother, concubine and uncle have been telling me How good is the emperor, keep telling me, I don't want to be, father, father..." The second prince's face was covered with tears, trembling all over, but no one responded, the guard held his arm expressionlessly , dragging him towards the entrance of the hall.

He struggled very hard, his eyes were full of despair and pleading, he looked straight at the current emperor - his father, but he didn't get any response.

"Father, father, you spare me, I will be obedient from now on. Father, father..." Until he was dragged out of the main hall, the voice of begging for mercy was still lingering in the empty space and lingered for a long time.

The emperor closed his eyes, some water stains leaked from the corners of his eyes, his chest heaved sharply, his hands hidden in his cuffs were trembling with veins exposed.

"Father, please spare the second younger brother. Just imprison him. He didn't have such thoughts at first, he was just being forced." The prince who had been standing beside him quietly stepped forward, knelt in front of him and spoke.

"No one is allowed to beg for mercy." The emperor said coldly and closed his eyes again.

Back then

After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and looked wearily at the kneeling person on the ground: "Why are you here?"

Tang Mingxuan was about the same age as the emperor, and he kowtowed respectfully before raising his head: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are here to apologize."

"It's all over, forget it, it will be Qi'er's world from now on, we old people should retreat to the back, I'm tired, help me go back and rest." He beckoned two eunuchs waiting to come and help him up .

Tang Mingxuan moved forward a few steps on his knees, and kowtowed a few more times, making a thumping sound.

The emperor sighed: "I'm tired and don't want to worry about it anymore. Your mistake didn't cause much harm to our Xue family, but your own family is the one you need to plead guilty to."

"Your Majesty." Tang Mingxuan continued to move his knees undaunted.

"What do you want?" The emperor's misty eyes widened slightly, and he snorted coldly: "You want me to promise not to seek or use people from the Tang family anymore, don't you? The family is so important that I put this clause in the will? Then, let those who are interested remember that there is no silver 300 taels here, right?"

Tang Mingxuan stood there in a daze. A man in his 40s looked like he was old and tired. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes twitched. He knelt in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Qi'er won't, he won't be so stupid as to give his name to a certain person or a certain family. As for the future, I don't guarantee that this matter can't be hidden. If one day there is another person in the Tang family It is his fate to seek this kind of life on his own initiative." After the emperor finished speaking, he walked back tremblingly with the support of many people.

"Your Majesty, there is no sword manual, it's gone long ago, it's the Caomin who..."

"Tell your family, I'm tired, I'm going back, Qi'er, don't follow me, there are so many things to deal with, and you are needed outside." The emperor patted the prince's shoulder who wanted to follow him, encouraging he.

"Your Majesty." Another kneeling voice sounded.

The emperor raised his head and sighed heavily: "What's the matter?"

Xue Wanyi solemnly kowtowed: "I beg the emperor to allow the women to become nuns."

After she said this sentence, it was like a small stone thrown into the water, stirring up a thousand waves.

Tang Qianjia rushed over from the outermost part of the main hall, near the door, running fast, and almost slipped when she came to him, her face was anxious and flustered: "Mother, mother, don't go."

Xue Wanyi touched his face, smiled as usual, and then continued to look at the emperor's back: "If the emperor does not agree, the women will not afford it."

"It doesn't matter if I answer or not. You are from the Tang family. You should ask the head of the Tang family. Well, if anyone else has something to say, say it all at once."

Xue Wanyi kowtowed again respectfully, the smile on her face was beautiful and pure, and her voice was soft and light, just like the girl back then: "Brother, Xiaoqi can't send you away in person, Xiaoqi will pray for you day and night in the ancestral hall and temple , you go!"

The emperor coughed and nodded, showing a smile somewhat similar to that of Xue Wanyi: "Brother has gone to find your sister-in-law, it's all right. From now on, the world will belong to Xiao Qier, and you should pray for him to be true."

The sound of the emperor almost coughing out his heart and lungs gradually disappeared at the back of the hall along with his footsteps, leaving only a hundred or so people standing there quietly.

The prince stepped forward to help Tang Mingxuan, and then Xue Wanyi, frowning slightly, and asked, "Auntie, that suggestion is not very good, I suggest you not to go, Xiaojia is not considered a child at her age, but after so many years I have never felt the care of my mother, so you should stay with him more."

"Mother, don't go. Why do you suddenly want to become a monk? It's also very good to chant Buddha on our campus. There is not enough food in the temple, and you have to cook and clean by yourself." Qian Jia hurriedly followed chime in.

Xue Wanyi shook her head and patted the prince's hand: "I will be the emperor soon, I can't talk to you like this in the future, all my aunt's worries are over, whether it's Xiaojia, you, or brother, It can be considered that I have got the destination I should have. I went there not because of despair or pain, but because of peace and tranquility, so everything is good, and everything is where it should be. I should go and I want to go place.

Let’s not talk about this, now that you have just stabilized, many places need you, you should go to your business as soon as possible, Auntie is well, and when you are enthroned, Auntie will pray for you. "

"aunt……"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." The Crown Prince was about to say something when General Qiu walked in and shouted, clasping his fists.

"Go and get busy." Xue Wanyi pushed his shoulder, and the prince gave Tang Ziao a worried look: "Uncle, you can do what you think is appropriate for aunt's affairs. No matter what, I hope she can do it in the future."
