Monarch of Evernight: The so-called clear stream of 308
bsp;In the Tianji Pavilion in the imperial capital, Emperor Hao walked slowly, passing by corpses one after another.
He was followed by countless ministers, all holding their breaths and not daring to make a sound. Half of the hall was covered with corpses, and there were more than fifty of them. Under the white cloth, everyone is a secret warlock who has entered the pavilion, and is the foundation for the entire empire to fight against the Eternal Night Parliament.
Those who can stay with Emperor Hao at this time are all truly important ministers. They are all qualified to know secrets and know many past events of the empire.
The empire and Yongye have been fighting for thousands of years, and outstanding people have emerged from generation to generation. In addition to the king of heaven, the magic of heaven crushing the prophets of Yongye is also an important reason. Among them, Lin Xitang is the one who has mastered the art of heaven for hundreds of years. He fought against Yongye in the battle of Fulu and fought against the King of Immortality in the civil war. In the end, he captured Fulu and gained an important foundation for the empire.
Although Lin Xitang has died at this time, many people have heard that he is still advancing several major plans, many of which are related to the national destiny of the empire.
Since Tianji magic is so important, one can imagine how Emperor Hao felt when more than half of the Tianji magicians died in one go. Several important ministers who vaguely knew the inside story were even more worried and deeply uneasy.
Emperor Hao stopped in front of a corpse, squatted down, and lifted up the white cloth, revealing a very young face underneath. He looked to be in his twenties, his eyes were full of purple-black congestion, and his pupils were completely invisible. Despite this, you can still see the fear and pain on his face.
Emperor Hao slowly covered himself with a white cloth, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Where is my queen?"
At the end of the hall, a partition door opened, revealing Empress Li kneeling behind the door. She lowered her head slightly, put her hands in front of her knees, and said nothing.
Emperor Hao looked at her for a moment and then said: "I handed Tianji Pavilion to you. Is this how you repay me?"
"It's all my fault." Empress Li lowered her head and said.
Hao Di chuckled and said, "If it were all your fault, that would be fine. Tell me, why did they all die?"
"In the derivation of the secret, he died of backlash."
"Whose backlash?"
"Qianye."
Seeing that Emperor Hao's tone was getting more and more unkind, a minister saluted and said: "As far as I know, this matter was not a passive backlash, but Qianye's active action, which led to such a tragedy. This Qianye Ye, you are really rebellious! You must not let it go easily!”
Emperor Hao turned around and looked at him quietly.
The minister slowly trembled all over, fell to his knees with a plop, and said: "Please forgive me for being rude! But I am also loyal!"
Emperor Hao said calmly: "I heard that Chen Rongzhi is your uncle. I want to know why Chen Shuai left his station and went to Yonglu to cruise and collect taxes."
The minister's whole body trembled and he said: "I don't know about this matter. However, since your majesty mentioned this matter, I have to say that Qianye killed the imperial marshal without mercy, and his crime is unpardonable! If you tolerate it this time Where is the face of the empire? Where is the face of Taizu Wuzu?"
The more he spoke, the more impassioned and angry he became.
Emperor Hao listened quietly to what he said, and then asked: "Are you done?"
The minister hesitated for a moment, looked back at the ministers, gritted his teeth and said: "In the thousands of years of the Qin Dynasty, no one has been punished for his words! I am not talented, and I am willing to follow the sages. If your Majesty does not listen, I can die?!" ”
Emperor Hao laughed and said: "In the thousand years of the Qin Dynasty, no one has ever been punished for his words, but that is only for loyal ministers who are dedicated to the country! I have always killed as many as I can for those who slander and slander! I would like to know if Chen Rongzhi ignores the important military affairs of the Fifth Army and wants to get a share of the tax revenue from Yonglu, whether it will go into the imperial treasury or the private treasury of the Fifth Army. Want to put it into Chen Rongzhi’s own pocket?”
The minister said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Marshal Chen is dedicated to serving the public..."
Emperor Hao's voice turned cold and said: "I am talking, do you have room to interrupt? Or do you think that because you are veterans of the late emperor, you dare not take me, the son of a singer, seriously? ”
This was a very serious statement, and all the ministers knelt down one after another, saying they did not dare. The minister hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to kneel down.
Emperor Hao paced with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Qianye has done his best for the empire, but how did the empire treat him? At this moment, any love for the empire in his heart has been worn away. It's all clean. You know how much of today's situation is due to you, and how much of the things you do are really for the sake of the empire. You should also know that if you don't say it well, don't say it now. Before Ye enters the other world, who of you can resist him? Even so, there are still people who dare to challenge him. What are they fighting for?"
No one dares to answer, and no one is willing to answer.
But Emperor Hao was rude and said in a thunderous voice: "What you are fighting is nothing more than the reputation of the empire; what you are fighting is nothing more than the thousand-year prestige of my Ji family; what you are fighting is nothing more than the upbringing of Qianye by my master Xitang." Feelings! Do you have any credit for this? When the black sun and night eyes are coming and going, no one can control it. It is Zining and Jundu who are leading the troops to support them. Where are you at this time? "
An old minister gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I am good at working for the empire, but not good at fighting! It cannot be generalized."
"Are you looking for a future career?" Emperor Hao sneered, "I am the son of a singer. It seems that you really think of me as a foolish king! I still don't know what you have in your belly? Really? It is Master Lin, the King of Qingyang, and the old prince who are seeking a future for the human race. What does it have to do with you?"
Emperor Hao's eyes fell on the minister who was said to be remonstrating to death, and then he looked at the ministers and said in a cold voice: "Remember, Taizu Wuzu is my ancestor. In the future, a hundred years from now, will I have the nerve to see my ancestor? It's also a private matter of my Ji family! Who do you think you are? Do you dare to use my ancestors to oppress me? Do you think that the future generations will be fools like you and can't see through it? Will this trick really leave you with a clear name in the history books?"
The minister was trembling all over, and just when he was about to speak, Emperor Hao flicked his robe sleeves, and a soft wind lifted him up, gently hitting the pillar. Amidst the sounds of dense bones breaking, he no longer had any strength and fell to the ground exhausted. The pain was unbearable, but he was sober that even coma was a luxury.
Emperor Hao said coldly: "Instruction! Chen Rongzhi left the station without permission and collected miscellaneous taxes. His crime is unpardonable and he has disobedient intentions! The nine tribes must be punished!"
The attendant quickly fulfilled the decree and went down to deliver the message.
Emperor Hao glanced at the ministers and said: "Whoever wants to stand up for Chen Rongzhi, please stand up! Anyone who thinks he is the leader, also stand up."
It was only then that the ministers realized something was wrong. Emperor Hao's actions today were very different from those in the past, and he was extremely murderous. They are all smart people, and no one dares to really stand out at this time. In the past, when I tried to remonstrate, I had to be sure that Emperor Hao would not be truly angry. If vigorous advice turns into dead advice, it is not the behavior of a wise man. They all still think that they are wise men.
Until this moment, no one remembered that Emperor Hao was already the King of Heaven. How can any of the kings of the empire be easily deceived?
Looking at the expressions of the ministers, Emperor Hao smiled slightly and said: "You are smart and know that the direction of the wind is wrong. Now that the merits have been completed at the beginning of Zai Yao, what is the use of you? If you still have selfish motives at this time, it is really I want to die."
The ministers were awe-inspiring, but no one dared to speak. They were worried in their hearts, and they were all speculating about the beginning of Zai Yao.
Emperor Hao turned to look at Empress Li and said coldly: "At the beginning of Zaiyao, Qianye is very important. He is the key figure that Teacher Lin repeatedly confessed before his death. Is Tianji Pavilion too idle? Half of the warlocks are Are you plotting against Qianye?"
Li Hou said: "I really don't know about this matter. But I am willing to accept the crime."
"Accept the crime? If something goes wrong at the beginning of Zai Yao, can you bear it?" Emperor Hao sneered, "You just said you didn't know about this, so who is in charge?"
"Sima Rutian was responsible for the previous task assignments in Tianji Pavilion."
"Is it the dead boss?"
"Yes."
"It is decreed that the nine tribes of Sima Rutian will be punished! Those who dare to remonstrate will also be punished by the nine tribes!"
