Kill on the spot.The fluttering four words made the ministers chill for a while.Today's early dynasty, where is the room for others to speak?
Everyone already understood in their hearts that on the first day of the emperor's return to the court, this was about to start his prestige.Raise and lower, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.The emperor is telling them that there will always be only one person above the master of the imperial power.Confrontation with the imperial power, confrontation with the Son of Heaven, the end is only a dead end.Everyone had a cold air on their backs, and they didn't dare to say a word, if anyone didn't know how to be the first bird, the emperor would definitely not mind letting him perish with the Ouyang family.The hall was as silent as death, since he gave the order, Mu Xi was ordered to leave, and the emperor did not speak again, holding his chin silently, as if he was looking at everyone, and as if he was contemplating alone.Because of the excessive quiet, the atmosphere is particularly intimidating, the nerves all over the ministers are tense, like a full bow, the nerves are likely to break at any time, and the skin under the clothes is slowly pouring out fine cold sweat.Some people even wonder if this is the case every day in the future, will they die young?
In the entire hall, in addition to Feng Qi, the only two who can maintain their composure may be the left and right phases who are deeply trusted by the emperor.It wasn't until Mu Xi went and returned, followed by a man in a plain white robe, that everyone let out a long breath in their hearts.At this time, whoever comes, as long as they can break this unsettling silence, they will sincerely thank God."
Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has brought it."
After respectfully bowing, Mu Xi stepped on the jade steps again without saying a word, and stood back in his original position.Only the second prince of the Feng royal family was left in the palace, Feng Tianzhan."
See the Emperor."
Respectfully bowing to his knees, the man's voice sounded cold, hollow, and without a trace of emotion.The second prince Feng Tianzhan had almost no impression in the hearts of the ministers, only knowing that this person's mother was the lowest among the only few concubines of the Emperor Taishang, and the only one who did not have a maternal background power, when the Emperor Taishang was in power, his attitude towards this prince was a little cold, and after Feng Qi ascended the throne, he was often not in the court, and no one mentioned this person.At this time, the ministers invariably turned their heads to look, but saw that the man kneeling on the floor of the palace bricks was twenty-three or four-year-old years old, with long dark hair tied up high with a plain ribbon, although his head was hanging, his body was straight, and his facial features were seven points like the emperor when he was young.There is no expression on his face, his eyes are cold, but the whole person faintly reveals an unruly sharpness, like a sharp knife out of its sheath.The ministers were awe-inspiring, and they couldn't help but feel that although this second prince was low-key and silent, he looked like he was obviously a person who was not easy to tame, and he didn't know if he would anger the emperor later?
While the ministers looked at the second prince, Feng Qi's eyes also fell on Feng Tianzhan carelessly, looked at Xu Xuan quietly, and chuckled casually, "The second emperor's shelf is not small. ”Everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and they couldn't tell whether the emperor deliberately wanted to embarrass Feng Tianzhan or if there was something else.Feng Tianzhan has no position in the court except for being a prince, so he is naturally not qualified to stand among the courtiers, and the emperor should know this......
Feng Tianzhan's eyes moved slightly, as if he was stunned for a moment because of Feng Qi's words, and then said in a very slow tone: "I ......" only said one word, but paused.The ministers were puzzled, Feng Qi raised his eyebrows, "What does the second emperor brother want to say?"
”"......"
Feng Tianzhan frowned almost imperceptibly, and was silent for a long time before speaking again, "The guilty minister is at the disposal of the emperor." ”The ministers were stunned.Then he slowly realized that Fang Cai's sudden pause was because he didn't know how to call himself?"
Sinners?"
Feng Qi muttered in a low voice, the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed a bit of deep meaning, "Now that you know that you are guilty, you might as well tell me about it, what crimes have you committed?"
”Feng Tianzhan didn't hesitate this time, but said lightly: "The emperor thinks that if the criminal minister has any crime, the criminal minister will have any crime, but the emperor will deal with it." ”The implication is already very clear, his status is humble, the emperor is the son of heaven on high above, and what he wants to do with him is just a matter of one sentence.Although he had no idea what sin he had committed."
In that case," Feng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "Let's punish forty canes first."
Mu Xi, call two people in, and there is no need to pull them out, when the temple executes. ”Yun Danfeng's tone was light, but it made the ministers stunned for a moment.How do you say hit and fight?
What is the emperor trying to do?
In front of the ministers, humiliate the second prince?
Although the second prince is not favored, he has kept to himself all these years and has never done anything out of order......
Or did they do something when they didn't know it?
Mu Xi didn't say a word, and directly complied with the order.Feng Tianzhan didn't say a word, kneeling silently, without thanksgiving or begging for mercy.After Mu Xi gave the order, two people soon came in, holding a court staff as thick as a child's arm in their hands, and the ministers looked at it and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.Oh my God, it's a Praetorian Guard.The emperor is going to kill the second prince on the spot?
Thinking of the emperor's sentence "kill on the spot", everyone couldn't help but question in their hearts, the emperor wouldn't really want to kill the second prince, right?
The two guards bowed respectfully to Fengqi, then stood up and waited to carry out the order.In the silence, Feng Qingshu slowly spoke, "Why did the emperor punish the heavenly war so heavily?"
”yes, why?
Others wanted to know, but they didn't dare to ask."
Why?"
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows interestingly, "King Yu's question is very strange, I am the Son of Heaven, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, what does this sentence mean, doesn't King Yu understand?"
Even if I don't have any reason, I just want to punish him, what do you think?
”The light tone, the domineering and strong implied in it, and even the little bit of arrogance, have never been concealed.The ministers were really speechless.I have never seen the emperor so ......
Strong words.Which dynasty and which generation of emperors did not want to leave the impression of a Ming monarch in front of the world?
Even if you want to get rid of dissidents, you always have to find a high-sounding reason, so as not to give people a bad image of being narrow and mediocre, but this emperor ...... is arrogant, and it seems so justifiable."
King Yu wants to win a reputation of gentleness and benevolence in front of his ministers, right?"
Feng Qi smiled faintly, but the smile was sarcastic and cold, "Since you want to win a good reputation, since you want to protect your brother, why have King Yu and the Queen Mother never turned a blind eye to this neglected brother in the past ten years?"
Do you only remember brotherhood now?
It's late. ”
