Chapter 239 Come one at a time
The ministers on one side were nowhere to be seen. Those who had a clear conscience were naturally waiting to see the outcome, while those with even a hint of shady dealings were now trembling with fear.
"You damned bastard!"
The emperor was furious and smashed the wine cup down. Wen You didn't dare to move and caught it straight. The cup hit his head and shattered, and blood flowed down his head.
"kill!"
Upon hearing this, Wen You was stunned, before he could even kowtow.
He was then covered by two guards and dragged out.
The door opened and closed again. Inside, all that could be heard was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. The guards swiftly entered, carrying swords still dripping blood.
Now no one dared to speak anymore, and those kneeling behind were utterly despondent.
next
"Qingliu County..."
"kill!"
next
Anshan County...
"kill!"
The guards kept chanting until the last one, and all nine people from six counties were killed.
The ministers inside the room knelt down in a huge mass, so shocked that they were speechless!
They originally thought that the emperor, having grown old, had become more soft-hearted, but little did they know that the current emperor was even more frightening than before!
They just pulled him up like that, without giving him any chance, read out his crime, and killed him immediately!
Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua stood firmly, knowing that given the Emperor's temperament, now that he had loosened up his grip, he wouldn't be as easy to talk to as before.
In the past, it was for the sake of the stability of the court, but now they have no scruples. After all, the emperor has never been an easy person to talk to!
Prime Minister Ji felt a mix of emotions, including sighs and nostalgia. Today, he saw in the Emperor the fearless spirit of the Emperor in his youth!
The princes standing nearby were terrified; they had never seen their father, the Emperor, so violent.
Just like the beloved seventh prince, he was also very scared. Fortunately, he listened to his advisors and replaced everything with silver.
He saw people kneeling before him, including the families he was attending the banquet with and the ministers who had received gifts. If he didn't send the silver over this morning, he would be in deep trouble tonight.
Seeing the surprised looks on his brothers' faces, Situ Yi was somewhat unconcerned. He had long since realized that this was the real emperor, not the same person as the gentle one he usually was. He had known this since he was a child.
The emperor looked at the people kneeling below and sneered:
"Hmph! Because I'm old, they thought I couldn't move anymore!"
"You think you can do whatever you want, thinking that since the emperor is far away, I won't know anything about these things!"
"Your Majesty, we dare not! We have no such intention whatsoever. We beg Your Majesty to see the truth!"
All the ministers below knelt down.
"Alright! Now, everyone, go outside and take a look!"
"I'm giving you a chance. Go home tonight, wash up, have a good meal, and wait for me to send people to find you one by one!"
The ministers below dared not move. With so many people killed, what must the outer courtyard look like now!
Jia Daihua had no scruples; he listened to whatever the emperor said!
Jia Daihua immediately stood up and was the first to go out.
He went first, and Jia Daishan naturally followed. Prime Minister Ji also had his grandson help him stand up and walk out together.
All three of them left, and the ministers hesitated, unsure of who should go first.
Situ Yi smiled dismissively and got up to follow.
The eldest prince followed, and at this moment he looked at his usually unremarkable younger brother with newfound respect.
The older brothers had already caught up, so the third and seventh princes could only follow.
One by one, the ministers followed them out of the palace gates. When Jia Daihua opened the door, he was immediately overwhelmed by the strong smell of blood.
