Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 41

This time, Ye Shuo got used to the transformation of time and space.

In front of you is the palace of Zichu Kingdom.After King Zhuo Yi retired from the court, he was invited to a certain palace by the ministers.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial jointly written by the ministers and others. Please take a look at it." An official bowed and presented a scroll.

King Zhuo Yi took the scroll and unfolded it. As his eyes scanned up and down, his face became more and more gloomy.In the end, he let out a heavy snort, and before he finished reading it, he threw the scroll on the table.

Ye Shuo hurried over to see what happened.

"Hmph, this king hasn't asked you to settle accounts, but you have the courage to join hands to impeach me! Prime Minister You, is this your instigation again?"

The Right Prime Minister that King Zhuo Yi spoke of was an old man with white hair and beard and a kind face.At this time, although he was facing the overwhelming anger of King Zhuo Yi, he bowed slowly and said, "The old minister has inherited the great trust of the previous king, and it is his duty to take care of the foundation of the country for him. Now even though Zi Chu is the opposite Standing is His Majesty, and the old minister will never back down!"

King Zhuo Yi snorted, and slammed his fingers on the table: "You also know how to say that you are the former king! When the former king was alive, it may be true that he relied heavily on you, but now this king is sitting in the position of the king! You The master you want to be loyal to is also this king! If you want to replace me, how can you be worthy? The former king! The former king! Since you never forget the former king so much, why didn’t you wipe your neck and follow him when the former king died that day?"

Prime Minister You's expression froze, the deepest pain surged in his eyes, and even his voice trembled: "Even if the king wants to kill this old minister, there are some things that this old minister has to say! Your Majesty loves that demon girl Zhiling so much. I am afraid that the fate of the country will be ruined, the country will be in danger, and the family and country will be in danger!"

King Zhuo Yi's eyes widened: "Don't scare me! Zhiling is just a girl, how can she subvert Chao Gang?"

Prime Minister You let out a long sigh: "Of course she doesn't know how to do it, but now you who are obsessed with beauty and don't care about state affairs, resulting in the loss of power, you will!"

King Zhuo Yi yelled angrily: "Bold! Are you trying to say that this king will deceive the country because of his sex?"

Prime Minister You closed his eyes.In the end, he still bowed his head and said: "The old minister dare not..."

King Zhuo Yi looked disdainful: "Huh, you dare not be the best! This king will show you rebellious officials and thieves. I will take care of all the beauties! I will lead the Zichu Kingdom to the supreme peak of this spiritual continent ! What you can’t do, this king can do!”

Another official also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid it will cool down the enthusiasm of the soldiers who want to serve the country!"

Prime Minister You was even more heartbroken: "Your Majesty, this old minister has dedicated his whole life to the former king and to the Zichu Kingdom. He is even more loyal to you and has no second thoughts! If you can't accept your loyal words, you suspect that I have other plans. , the old minister is willing to bump his head to death on this hall, and let my blood be poured on this hall! Every drop will tell my grievances and my eternal loyalty!" As he spoke, he turned to the nearest A wall rushes past.But he was held back by several officials beside him.

King Zhuo Yi looked at the officials in a mess, but his face was expressionless, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Prime Minister You wants to die, but this king can't stop you, so please do it. You are over sixty years old. This is the person who should go to the ground. Oh, yes, I forgot to say, if you want to die, you can also change the place, so as not to stain the king's carpet."

"You...you..." Prime Minister You was so angry at King Zhuo Yi's ruthless remarks that his heart twitched, and he clutched his chest and gasped for breath.

"King Zhuo Yi, how can you be like this? Prime Minister You is not only an important minister of the former king, but also your elder. He watched you grow up! How can you treat Prime Minister You who has worked so hard for a witch today? " said an official on the side.

The sneer on King Zhuo Yi's face slowly disappeared: "That's enough, when is it your turn to teach me what to do! I have other important things to do, so I won't accompany you." Everyone took a look.Flicking the sleeves of the robe, he walked out of the hall.

The officials who stayed in the palace looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing.

"Hey, the king only trusts that demon girl now, and we courtiers have no status anymore."

"That's right! He even said 'rebellious officials and thieves' just now, it's really chilling!"

At this moment, another official suddenly said: "Your Prime Minister, I remember that when the late king was alive, he left you a will, saying that if the prince is unbearable, you can use this edict to abolish him to stand on his own feet! We old ministers have Be there to witness! It seems that now is the time to ask for this will!"

Prime Minister You shook his head slowly: "No, the late king asked me to entrust me with great trust. That is his trust in me. As a subject, I can only help him wholeheartedly, but I am determined not to usurp his son's throne! Otherwise, the future will come. Under the Nine Springs, what is your face when you see the former king again?"

The ministers discussed one after another: "Then what should we do?"

"Yes, what should I do then?"

Prime Minister You sighed: "Ah, for the current plan, I'm afraid there is only one last solution..." He was about to say it in a low voice.

"Your Prime Minister, you don't need to be in trouble with this matter, as long as you say a word, the brothers are willing to go through fire and water for you!" A thin official responded immediately.

Prime Minister You said solemnly: "No, it's my suggestion, how can I make you take risks? This is also the last chance I give to Your Majesty. If he is still obsessed with his obsession, then I would rather admonish him with death!"

Seeing all this, Ye Shuo couldn't help sighing. Although the scene in front of him was just a broken illusion, he still felt worthless for the upright Prime Minister You. Thinking of King Zhuo Yi being locked in the cave, he had already expected that the right It is impossible for the prime minister to succeed, but Ye Shuo never imagined that what would happen afterwards would be far beyond his imagination.

A quiet night a few days later.

King Zhuoyi received a secret report from his confidant, and a group of officials prepared to attack Zhiling.He put on his armor almost in a hurry, and drove out of the palace desperately.

Riding a fast horse all the way, when he arrived at Zhiling's residence, he found that the sky was already full of flames.There were still several guards blocking the door: "My lord, you can't go in!" King Zhuo Yi was furious: "Get out!" He cut them down one by one with a sword, and charged in.

At this moment, Prime Minister Right in the main hall raised his saber to Zhiling.Zhiling's expression was no longer that soft and weak, she said coldly: "Prime Minister You, you should be clear about the consequences of killing me."

During the stalemate between the two, King Zhuo Yi rushed into the hall: "Stop it all! Prime Minister You, how dare you hurt this king's concubine, are you planning to rebel?"

Seeing this, Zhiling quickly ran to King Zhuo Yi, looked at him in surprise, with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty! You have finally come to save me..." After finishing speaking, two lines of tears flowed out slowly, which was heartwarming. The meaning of pity.

Prime Minister You still did not put down his weapon.His eyes turned to King Zhuo Yi indifferently: "Your Majesty, since I dare to come today, I am already prepared to die! I have planned for a long time. After killing her, if the King can't forgive me, the old minister will be willing to disband and return to the field! But today is for you , for the thousands of people of my Zichu Kingdom! This witch must be killed!"

King Zhuo Yi raised his hand and pulled Zhi Ling into his arms, and shouted: "Presumptuous! This king is standing here, let's see who dares to touch her?"

Prime Minister You approached the two of them step by step: "You... Your Majesty, if the old minister puts his words here, what choice will you make in today's situation, with me without her, with her without me?"

Zhuo Yi Wang Ji pointed and said angrily: "Prime Minister You, don't rely on the old to sell the old! If it weren't for the fact that your family is a veteran of the three dynasties who followed my father, because of your disobedience, this king has already sentenced you to death!"

Prime Minister You stood there in a daze for a moment, then suddenly looked up to the sky and burst out laughing.The laughter became more and more stern, until two tears of blood came out of his eyes: "Ha... ha ha ha... good! Very good! Since this is your choice, I can only wish you a prosperous official career and ascend to the supreme Forgive me for not being able to witness your glory!" Slowly took off the official hat on his head, gently caressed it with infinite nostalgia, and finally handed it to another accompanying official with precious and precious hands.He waved his hand to order the soldiers to put down their weapons, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard step by step.

"Master Right Prime Minister!"

"Zi Chu Kingdom cannot live without you, Prime Minister You!"

Prime Minister You turned a deaf ear to all these words of persuasion heard along the way.When he was about to step out of the far door, his body suddenly shook violently, a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, and the whole person fell down limply.

"Prime Minister You!" Although King Zhuo Yi said he didn't care, he actually paid attention to him secretly.Seeing him fall to the ground suddenly, he rushed forward to support him.He saw a dagger stuck deep in Prime Minister You's chest until it reached the handle, and the gushing blood had penetrated the entire official uniform.And the other end of the dagger was in the hands of Prime Minister You!

"Lord Prime Minister You...you...why are you doing this?" King Zhuo Yi saw that Prime Minister You was stabbed extremely deeply, and it was obvious that his death was decided. Even if he could find a doctor now, he would definitely return The sky is exhausted.For a while, the mood was chaotic, and weeping.

Prime Minister You opened his eyes wearily, and looked at King Zhuo Yi in front of him with difficulty.His lips twitched, and he said in a hoarse voice: "When the country is about to perish, there must be evildoers...Monsters will bring disaster to the country, what can I do? I have witnessed the prosperity of Zichu Kingdom with my own eyes, and I really can't watch its decline in the dying years... ...It's just Your Majesty, you will eventually regret it... you will regret it..." At this point, the raised palm slipped down, and it fell powerlessly to the side, and he was already dead!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Suddenly, the whole courtyard burst into mournful voices.

Afterwards, I don't know who started it first, and all the officials took off their official hats one after another: "The ministers are willing to follow the Prime Minister You and return to the fields!"

King Zhuo Yi stood up with red eyes: "Okay, okay! Let's all go! You all go! Anyone who wants to go, this king can achieve great things by himself!"

Soon all the people in the courtyard left, and King Zhuo Yi stood there covered in blood. The blood that was warm not long ago has gradually cooled down.Standing in the courtyard surrounded by so many rebels, why did I really feel the bleak meaning of "autumn wind and autumn rain worrying people" for the first time?

At this time, a voice suddenly appeared in Ye Shuo's ears, "For Zhiling, I gave almost everything I have! The pride of being a monarch, the responsibility to the thousands of people in the Zichu Kingdom, and even when my father was sick, The promise I made with my own mouth! After being with her, I even gave up my ambition to rule the world, and I don't think it doesn't matter if I don't have to cultivate to the peak...

My actions are getting more and more absurd, and I have really become the unreasonable and stupid king that I have spurned in my mouth!Seeing my former close friends, teachers, and powerful ministers leave me one by one, their sighing and disappointed eyes are like thousands of knives stuck in my heart! "

Presumably this was the monologue that Ye Shuo had peeped into King Zhuo Yi's heart at that time.

"The more a person loses, the weaker he becomes. When I betrayed my relatives, Zhiling was like my last piece of driftwood! I desperately tried to hold on to her. Now it's not that she can't leave me, but I can't live without her! I sacrificed my whole life to bet on this love, but what did she give me in return?! What is it?!

Now when I think back to this relationship that has poured everything into me and is as desperate as a black poppy flower, how many people have been hurt by my depravity!Drinking arsenic with a smile, it turns out that this is the real pain for loved ones and fast for enemies! "

Zhiling snuggled into King Zhuo Yi's arms like a kitten: "My lord, I'm so scared, we will be together forever, right?"

King Zhuoyi surrounded Zhiling silently: "Don't worry, we will be together forever."

Zhiling, I really only have you now.So, don't betray me again, don't leave me!

King Zhuo Yi, who was immersed in sorrow, did not notice a pair of eyes of hatred hidden in the boundless darkness beside him.

"……Father!"

Cangping King's Palace a few days later.

Leaning on the throne is a young man with long hair and a strange face.It is Feng Mushan, the new monarch of Cangping Kingdom!At this time, half of his body was hidden in the shadow cast by the window corner, and on his slender finger, a ruby ​​ring gleamed faintly.Flipping through several pieces of information sent from Zichu Kingdom, the whole person exudes a laziness.

"What you said is true?" After a long while, Feng Mushan raised his eyes and looked at the man kneeling on the ground under his seat.

"Yes, I implore your majesty to be the master for my late father!" The man raised his head, and those hateful eyes seemed familiar!

Feng Mushan suddenly stood up: "Hahaha, Zhuo Yi, this is your own death, no wonder this king is ruthless! Send the order, and send troops to the Chu Kingdom immediately!"
