Chapter 73
Today's morning court is also very lively, because early this morning, when King Jingzhao Yin Wang Junzhi went to Jingzhao Mansion, he found that the government office of Jingzhao Mansion was waiting for him in fear.

Wang Junzhi has a habit of visiting Jingzhao Mansion every time before going to court to see if there is anything he needs to present to the emperor.Today he is also the same as usual, who knows that there is really something waiting for him.

After hastily scanning the things in Fuya's hands, Wang Junzhi's expression changed drastically, and he hurried into the palace with the things.

The atmosphere in the Golden Luan Hall was condensed for a while, and everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to make a sound.

"Oh, Liu Zhiyi really has the guts! Yesterday's incident just ended, and today it's him again! Someone, let me put Liu Zhiyi in jail!"

The emperor's face was full of anger, and the hand holding the letter was trembling.Liu Zhiyi was demoted from office yesterday, and with his current official position, he is unable to go to court in the Golden Luan Hall, that's why he said that just now.

From the time the emperor saw the letter paper until the emperor gave the order, except for Wang Junzhi, the rest of the people did not know the reason.Xian Wang and Zhang Cheng looked at each other, Zhang Cheng understood what Xian Wang meant, and immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Liu Zhiyi what crime he committed?"

Hearing these words, everyone stretched their necks and looked at the emperor.

Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly, and threw the letter paper in his hand on the ground: "Let's take a good look, Prime Minister! This Liu Zhiyi is really too daring. The people in the capital are panicked and full of complaints! Also, Huang Qing, Li Cuhua..."

The emperor named a few more names, all of them belonged to the virtuous king's party, and Li Cuhua, the father of Li Yulin, was among them.

All the people whose names were called looked at the emperor anxiously, feeling uneasy.

After a moment of silence, the emperor said: "You guys, colluding with Liu Zhiyi, persecuting your life, is an unforgivable crime! Come, send these people to prison, and choose a day to kill them! All the men in the mansion are slaves. , women acted as military prostitutes, ransacked their homes and turned them over to the state treasury!"

After such a series of orders, those few people had already shown panic, their legs softened, and they knelt down on the ground to cry for grievances.

Zhang Cheng read ten lines at a glance, read the letter paper dropped by the emperor, and then handed it to the same virtuous king.

"Father, this matter is quite strange, and it is inevitable that there is no secret behind it. Liu Zhi has also been an official in the court for many years, and these adults are even more loyal to Daxia. Who cares about human life, please ask Father to order a thorough investigation of this matter , let the adults be fair!"

With so many people from his own faction being caught out, King Xian was so anxious that he didn't even bother to read the contents of the letter paper.Seeing that Huang Qing and the others were about to be dragged down, the Xian Wang immediately begged for mercy.

Huang Qing and the others were moved, and they were even more loyal to the prince who was willing to intercede for them at a critical moment.For a moment, they all felt lucky in their hearts, hoping that the emperor would let them go because of King Xian's words.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng's pupils shrank, and the next moment he saw the emperor was furious, and he looked at King Xian with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Fairness? King Xian, you are really a good son of mine. When the things are in your hands, you don't even look at them, but just plead for them! Even if someone falsely accuses them, is the petition of the people in it fake? Or is it Xian Wang, you are so lenient that you can even care about the people of Daxia, just to keep the so-called Xian Wang faction? Don’t think that I don’t know anything, some things should be done in moderation!”

The emperor's furious voice lingered for a long time, and every word in his words hit the Xian Wang's face fiercely with a crackling sound.Only then did the virtuous king quickly unfold the things in his hand to look at them, and the one on the front page was the Ten Thousand Peoples Petition!
The petition does not mean that it is filled with the names of 1 people. There are only a few hundred people on it, and many of them are fingerprints. Presumably they cannot write.It is these hundreds of handprints that make the Wanmin petition more authentic.

King Xian's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help regretting his impulsiveness just now.

Kneeling suddenly on the ground, King Xian looked at the emperor with sincerity in his eyes: "Father, I know my mistake. All along, Huang Qing and the others have a good reputation in the court, and they are also diligent in their work, so my son The minister subconsciously thought that someone had framed Huang Qing and the others, and he hadn't had time to read these letters. The minister really couldn't have imagined that the few people who were extremely loyal to Da Xia in the past and loved the people of Da Xia would do such a thing Come!"

Up to now, King Xian had no choice but to give up Liu Zhiyi and others.In just a few days, he had lost so many people, and if he wanted to make up for it, it might not be that simple.

Thinking of this, a dangerous light flashed in King Xian's eyes, but he lowered his head so no one could see it.

The emotions of Huang Qing and the others had just surfaced, but they were blown away by King Xian's words.They knew that it was King Xian who was about to abandon them, so they could only accept their fate.

In desperation, the hands and feet of several people went limp, and they fell limp in the hall.The emperor looked at them very angrily: "Come here, pull Huang Qing and others down, and then send someone to arrest Liu Zhiyi and put them in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice! Tomorrow, together with Russell, these people will be arrested." Wait for the average number to be beheaded to show the public, and give the people an explanation!"

After a few words, choosing a day to ask to be killed became tomorrow's question to be killed. The emperor was annoyed by the virtuous king and no longer gave a few people a chance to stand up.

The next moment, guards outside the hall took Huang Qing and the others down.Until the figures of several people disappeared on the Golden Luan Hall, they accepted the result without crying out for injustice.And this undoubtedly slapped King Xian severely.

At this time, the Golden Luan Hall was quiet, the Xian Wang was still kneeling on the ground, Shangguan Zhenyu stood aside, his eyes seemed to be closed, obviously he did not intend to open his mouth to break the deadlock.Qi Muyuan had a cold face, but what he was thinking about in his mind was how to resolve the conflict with Shangguan Lianniang. He regretted it, but when he saw Shangguan Lianniang's expressionless face, his heart trembled. Damn, I can't say what I want to say.

The rest of the people in the Golden Luan Hall were all watching their noses and noses, their noses watching their hearts, and all of them had nothing to do with themselves.The people of Xian Wang's faction could only worry secretly, but they dared not speak out.The emperor's previous words had put them in a very embarrassing situation. Once they stood up to speak for the virtuous king, given the emperor's current mood, he might ignore the three sevens and 21s and just put them off as a party for personal gain. That's enough for them.

In this way, everyone kept silent tacitly.

After an unknown amount of time, King Chu, who had been drowsy in the court hall, nodded his head, as if he had woken up and dozed off. Seeing that no one was speaking in the hall, he asked suspiciously, "Hey, did the court disperse? Then the king will go back to sleep. gone."

Saying this, the King of Chu walked out of the hall as if he didn't see the ugly face of the emperor.
