Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

As the commander of the capital's garrison division, or rather, the supreme commander.

Ye Zhong's prestige in the army was almost unmatched by anyone except for another important minister, Qin Ye.

There are such people blocking the way, unless they are like Guo Zheng and have some other purpose.

Otherwise, who would dare to step forward? Are they really not afraid of being suppressed by the military afterward?

Not to mention, the reason given was to use force to bully scholars.

This is paving the way with lives.

Directly in front, Prince Jing, Li Chengze, and Qin Ye also turned their heads to look.

Unexpectedly, right under everyone's noses...

Several high-ranking generals walked directly to the center and knelt down.

He shouted at the same time:

"This humble general should not have coveted another man's beautiful concubine; he deserves to die a thousand deaths."

"This humble general should not have sought revenge in private for personal grudges; such a crime is heinous."

……

They all gave their reasons.

Since they dared to say it, it must be because there's nothing that can be found out.

Seeing this, Ye Zhong smiled.

Do you know what the consequences will be?

The generals exchanged glances, lowered their heads, and said in unison:

"This humble general deserves to die ten thousand times over; I beg the Emperor to punish me."

Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Qing laughed in exasperation.

What is the most taboo thing for an emperor?

That is, the generals cannot be controlled by oneself.

Beneath the surface, a few idiots actually stepped forward.

He couldn't help but ask Eunuch Hou, who had a clearer view beside him:

"Can you tell which side they're from?"

Eunuch Hou hurriedly said:

"This old servant vaguely remembers that these people seem to have some connection with the Sun family in the past."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing immediately stood up straight, walked to the bench, and sat down steadily.

"I already know, my son has been made crown prince."

It seems they're trying to pull out all the stops to gain some power for him; it's utterly ridiculous.

After saying that, he coldly shouted outside:

"Knowing the law and breaking it is an unforgivable crime. Their entire families shall be exterminated. Those individuals shall be beheaded immediately!"

The generals who were kneeling immediately raised their heads.

According to the regulations, the crime will only be attributed to them.

But now it has brought disaster to three clans.

This was completely unexpected.

In an instant, it wasn't just the kneeling military officers who panicked.

Even the civil officials standing nearby panicked.

Why did the Emperor strike so hard?

Several military officers tumbled and crawled toward Li Chengqian.

"I beg Your Highness to save my family."

"I beg the Crown Prince to plead with the Emperor to spare my life and punish only this humble general."

Li Chengqian was completely stunned by this sudden change and stood there dumbfounded.

He was just watching the show, but if the Ye family were to fall, Li Chengze would definitely suffer.

How did I end up getting caught up in the gossip myself?

Li Chengqian quickly retreated a few steps, dodging several generals who tried to grab his legs.

But, although it's stupid.

It's not that bad; they won't kick someone when they're down.

His eyes darted around, and he called out towards the imperial study:

"Your Majesty, I beg you to show mercy. Such punishment is truly against the will of Heaven. Since they have voluntarily confessed their crimes..."

"It would be better to punish the individual, thus demonstrating the Emperor's benevolence."

Wow.

Emperor Qing looked up and smiled, his expression no longer the same as before.

It's as if I can see Li Chengqian, who dares to rush in and get involved, which I greatly admire.

"Then let it be as the Crown Prince says."

Ye Zhong had a bad feeling.

Why would the Crown Prince get involved at this time?

Is he not afraid that if things are exposed, he'll lose an arm?

Guo Youzhi was so angry that he was trembling, and he wanted to curse the idiot.

Seeing that things had turned around, Guo Zheng rallied once again.

"See? General Ye Zhong, the capital is in such turmoil, and Ye Wan is the first to be affected!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengze stepped forward and shouted:

"Since the Imperial Censor says that the capital is in turmoil..."

Then may I ask, Your Excellency, why was General Ye Wan impeached, even though he had made some mistakes?

Instead of the Prefect of the Capital, who is in charge of governing the capital?

Ye Zhong also laughed in a deep voice:

"Yes, logically speaking, even if Ye Wan is suspected of being misleading."

However, maintaining public order has always been the responsibility of the Prefect of the Capital.

Are you suggesting that Ye Wan ordered them to storm the residences of the civil officials below?

"The Ye family will not accept this charge. Our Ye family does not possess the resources to have retainers spread throughout the army!"

This.

Guo Zheng never expected his plan to fail, and instead looked directly down.

Now that Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Prince Wei Li Chengze have entered the fray, the entire situation has almost turned into a battle of offense and defense between the two princes.

Upon hearing the commotion, Emperor Qing immediately shouted:

"Then let Mei Zhili say it himself!"

Among the civil officials, Mei Zhili quickly stepped forward.

But instead of saying anything, he looked at Li Chengqian and then at Li Chengze.

This puts him in a very difficult position, like roasting him over a fire.

but.

When Emperor Qing asked, he had no choice but to answer, otherwise his position as the Prefect of the Capital would likely be over.

A moment of silence.

Mei Zhili bowed to the two of them respectively and said:

"As the Prefect of the Capital, it is indeed my fault that I was unaware of the private conflict between the civil and military officials."

However, since assuming the post of Prefect of the Capital, I have been conscientious and loyal to my duties, fearing that I might make the slightest mistake.

I hope Your Majesty will see this clearly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing realized that this was just a way of trying to smooth things over.

It's common sense to claim dereliction of duty while simultaneously pledging loyalty.

Clearly, Mei Zhili doesn't want to step into this deep pit at the moment.

Both Li Chengqian and Li Chengze looked unwell.

Because they had a good relationship with this Prefect of the Capital in private.

By remaining neutral, we end up offending both sides.

Seeing that the plan was about to reach a stalemate, Guo Zheng gritted his teeth.

He pulled a piece of white paper from his sleeve, held it high, and shouted:

"Who says I have no evidence? This was said by the Crown Prince himself in the inner palace."

His companion to the crown prince, Wenxiu, compiled Guo Baokun's report that the Drunken Immortal Fang had a spy from Northern Qi hidden there that day.

General Ye Zhong was ordered to lead troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, but trouble arose, which is why Ye Wan confronted the Guo family.

Emperor Qing stood up abruptly.

"Bring it here!"

Eunuch Hou immediately stepped forward, took it, and handed it to Emperor Qing.

When Emperor Qing saw the events of that day clearly written in black and white, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
