The officials knelt in front of the palace for three days, and many of them could not hold on any longer as they fell to the ground, fainting.
After entering, he discovered that the emperor was already sitting on the roof of the hall, and right below the steps to the throne stood a dusty man. Although his clothes weren"t stained with any dirt, at first glance, he was covered in dust, his hair was slightly messy, and he held a horsewhip in his hand. Just as the officials from the Ministry of Rites were thinking about how they were going to join in the performance, the man turned around and greeted them with a wide smile, "My lords, I heard that you have been kneeling outside for the past three days. I can see that your expressions are pretty good.
It looks like, when we start fighting again at the border, I should let you guys go to the front to kill the enemies for the country. "
The pupils of many people constricted. "Your Highness, isn"t he in Jiangnan?" Why did he suddenly appear in the great hall?
The corner of King Yu"s lips curled up. He seemed to be full of smiles, but the officials around him felt a chill down their spines, as if they were being stared at by something dangerous. Many of the generals could not help but size up King Yu. They could not help but sigh in their hearts because the killing intent from the Second Prince was so strong.
"This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
The emperor did not cry out. His expression was cold as he said, "Didn"t you want to kneel? I presume that you are also unwilling to get up now. I have never forced anyone to do anything, so I"ll let you all kneel for a while longer. "
"Your majesty, this humble subject and others are doing this for the sake of thousands of citizens. Earlier, this subject suggested that Yi River City be closed down, but the emperor did not agree. So much so that the disease spread to other cities through Yi River City. If this goes on, the citizens of Jiangnan will be in danger!"
"Your majesty, Lord Sun is right. Please listen to my advice and close Yi River City." King Yu, who was standing in the middle of the hall, suddenly looked sad. He knelt in front of the emperor with a "putong" and his tears fell down instantly, not caring about the dignity of a prince as he cried, "Imperial Father, I beg you, please have mercy on the people of Jiangnan. Please drag Master Sun and Master Nan who spoke just now down to death.
"
"Your Highness, you … How can you speak like that? " King Yu"s tears fell even faster, "Father, according to the records of Yi Shui City, there are a total of forty-three thousand six hundred citizens in the city. After a great battle, there will only be less than a thousand people left.
Those people who had finally managed to gain a chance to live were killed once again? This is too cold-blooded and heartless! "
"Your majesty, it"s not that you"re heartless, it"s just that you can"t lose too much because of small matters. If you harm more people because of these hundreds of people, you won"t lose anything!" "Bulls.h.i.t!" "As officials, you don"t need to think about saving the people once something happens. The first thought you have is to kill them all, and now there are people in the city who are infected with the plague. Are you going to close the city gates and trap more than 30,000 of them to death?" If the epidemic situation continues
"The water current continues to spread. According to the two sirs, should we destroy more than half of it?"
The faces of the two officials who had spoken earlier turned deathly pale. "Your majesty the Emperor is enlightened. This subject definitely does not have such an intention." The Emperor is the Heavens, the people are the Earth, and the world is dependent on one another. Now that the Earth is in trouble, you all have to destroy it, and I dare to ask my lords, there is no ground for you!
Where are you standing? How can you eat without the earth at your feet? In the words of the people, what you do now is to eat at the table, to curse at the table, one by one do not want to be grateful, the heart of wolves and the lungs of dogs! "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Closing the gate and killing the citizens is simply a conspiracy! "
A few officials nearly fell to the ground. Before they could refute King Yu, they hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor. "Your majesty, this subject definitely does not mean that. It was Your majesty Yu who slandered this subject and others. Please enlighten me, your majesty." The Second Prince, King Yu, took two steps forward and knocked his head against the stairs. "Royal father, your son is heartbroken. You have never been to Jiangnan, so you don"t know what"s going on in Yishui City. The entire city was in ruins and corpses could be seen everywhere. There were wails everywhere! One soldier enter the city to help clear the street
A seven foot tall man was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. He was a woman and child who were hugging a child, a man who was protecting his family, an old man who was struggling to survive … They are all ordinary citizens and they are all trying their best to survive. How can the people be innocent? They only want to live a simple life, why is it so difficult! "
The emperor looked at King Yu with downcast eyes, his expression pained. "It was my fault …" "Father, this son of mine is unfilial today, and is planning to make a ruckus in the imperial court. If anyone dares to say that we can close Yi River City and kill the pestilential citizens, this son of mine will directly drag their families along and throw them into Yi River City. I want them to see with their own eyes how difficult it is for the citizens today, and see how difficult it is for them to live! Yue Yang and Wen Xian helped the commoners keep their corpses in place every day, and they could even see the smoke from hundreds of miles away. That black smoke was the unsettled souls of the commoners, what were they doing? They"re staring at us, standing right there
"Beside us, watching so many officials of our imperial court fail to do anything, all we are thinking about is how to eliminate the people of our imperial court …"
Many of the officials could not help but shiver. Previously, they did not feel anything amiss, but after King Yu spoke, they felt so cold. It was as if there really was something hidden in the shadows, staring at them unwaveringly.
"Jun Yu, you"ve lost your composure." Royal father, your son is guilty, you can punish him however you wish. This son just needs to ask for royal father"s forgiveness and let me first take the medicinal herbs to Yi River City, then let King Yue and Wen Xian use them on the commoners. "The people suffer, but this son"s heart hurts …" "Yu w.a.n.g wailed loudly, those who heard his cry were heartbroken, those who heard his cry were in tears."
The Emperor couldn"t help but let out a sigh and walk down from his throne. He then helped him up with his own hands, "If you get up, you will always be straightforward. Now that you"ve seen the suffering of the citizens of Yi River City, the sadness in your heart is understandable.
"Yes, I understand …" "Understood..."
The emperor nodded his head in satisfaction, "Xu Li, it has been hard on Your Highness King Yu"s way and he has been bestowed the right to sit in the great hall. Bring a chair for King Yu."
"Yes."
Xu Li quickly directed the attendant to bring up a chair. King Yu cried until he had no strength left in his body. He sat down two times before he could sit down.
The emperor felt even more heartache. "You are a good child. How is the situation in Yi River City? Tell me about it." King Yu nodded and recounted the situation in the three cities that suffered the most. He focused his attention on Yi River City. Imperial Father, Princess Wen Xian knelt on the ground and led the soldiers and the people to pray for the blessings of the deceased.
How can the dead rest in peace by killing their remaining compatriots? who knows if he will turn into a ghost and come to them to plead for mercy … " Hearing this, the officials almost jumped up and kicked the chair that King Yu was sitting on. What evil spirit, what pleading? Hadn"t Yu City done the same thing in the past? Why did they come to persuade him according to the old rules and be scolded by King Yu while pointing at their noses?
