Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 509: People Shouldn't Die in vain

While talking about the tragic situation after Linhe broke its embankment, King Yu scolded the officials above the court again with a gun and a stick. Not only did the emperor not stop him, but he sighed following King Yu's description.

Seeing this, many officials wisely forgot the words of remonstrance, silently knelt aside and did not make a sound. They have been officials in the court for a long time, and they somewhat understand the emperor's thoughts. In the current situation, the emperor has no intention of closing Yi The meaning of water city.

After listening to King Yu's description, the emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "The people are suffering because I, the emperor, is incompetent. I will immediately issue an edict of guilt, and then personally sacrifice to the heavens and pray for the people."

The officials quickly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is merciful..."

"I know that you are also thinking about the people, but the method is indeed extreme. I can't just watch the people suffer, and I won't give up anyone easily. There is no need to say more about the closure of Yishui City. All the ministers have stepped back. Go back and think about how to love the people and guard the foundation of my Dali Dynasty, instead of following others' advice and kneeling all day long to persuade you. As the humerus ministers of my Dali Dynasty, you are the backbone of the court. If your knees are weak and you kneel down, then I will choose some tough people to come up."

"Yes."

The courtiers came in with pale faces, and left staggeringly. Many of them fell seriously ill immediately after returning. Get over it.

When the courtiers left, King Yu hurriedly got up from the chair and knelt on the ground, without the madness before, with an extraordinarily solemn expression: "Father, my son is disrespectful in front of the imperial court, please punish me."

The emperor looked at him with a cold expression on his face. After a while, he sighed: "Get up, I know you are feeling uncomfortable."

King Yu didn't get up, but still knelt on the ground. This time, he didn't cry loudly or shed any tears, but the grief around him was even worse than before: "Father..."

The emperor gritted his teeth: "What are you doing?"

"My son begged my father to be the master of the people and punish King Jin and King Ling severely!"

"You...you get up!"

"Father, my son and minister can't get up. I beg you to be the master of the people and severely punish the two murderers, King Jin and King Ling!"

The emperor closed his eyes, and on the table in front of him was the salt tax deficit case file and several testimonies presented by King Yu. He held the testimonies of Tongzhi Linjiang in his hands, trembling unbelievably: "Jun Yu, I understand what you mean, but I have my own considerations, I can't let the people of the world poke the back of the Ning family, let alone let the descendants of the Ning family leave a crime of killing tens of thousands of people in the history books."

"Father, did the people die in vain?" King Yu raised his head, his face full of grief and pain, "That was not one person, but tens of thousands of lives! Father, you understand my son's temperament, what my son said today The words are all from the bottom of my heart, and I don’t mean to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, I just feel sad, heartbroken that the country my father has devoted so much to guard, has been destroyed and collapsed because of two unworthy sons!”

The emperor's eyes widened, his teeth were clenched, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. After taking a quick breath, he leaned slumped on the armrest beside the throne, and his figure gradually slumped.

King Yu felt a pain in his heart, and quickly stepped forward to support the emperor's arm: "Father, I know my mistake, please take care of the dragon's body."

The emperor looked at King Yu's rough hands, which were covered with scars, some of which were still oozing with blood: "I am not a good emperor, let alone a good father..."

"Father, you are, the elder brother and the third younger brother are ignorant, and they have done something wrong."

The emperor shook his head: "You step back, I want to be alone for a while."

"...Yes, father, please take care of the dragon body, the world still needs your care."

King Yu came out of the main hall, and hurriedly ordered the servants beside him: "Go to the palace of the eldest princess, and invite the eldest princess Yide to accompany the emperor."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After King Yu retreated, the emperor turned his eyes to the outside of the hall. At this time, the sun outside the hall was just right, and the light shone on the white marble steps inlaid with gold, which was extremely dazzling.

He just sat there and watched quietly until the sun turned to the west and the sky outside became dark.

Xu Li stepped forward several times to comfort her softly, but did not get the slightest response from the emperor. When she was in a hurry and had nothing to do, Princess Yide walked into the hall.

"Princess..."

"Go down." Princess Yide held the jug in one hand and two wine glasses in the other. After Xu Li and other palace officials retreated, she walked to the steps below the throne and sat down, turning her head to look at the emperor, "The emperor Would you like to try my new sweet-scented osmanthus brew?"

The emperor blinked his sore eyes, slowly moved his stiff body, walked down and sat next to Princess Yide, picked up the wine glass placed on the steps, picked up the jug to fill himself up, and then raised his head Drank it down.

Princess Yide slowly sipped a glass of wine. Seeing the emperor's appearance, she couldn't help but chuckled: "The emperor really wasted a pot of good wine. It was brewed by Yao'er specially for me. gone."

"When Yao'er comes back, let her brew another batch. I also like this taste very much."

"Then I have to ask King Yue whether he agrees or not. That child, King Yue, can protect the person he likes very tightly."

"Jun Yue... Sister Huang, you already know about Jiangnan, right?"

"Well, I have received some news." Princess Yide did not hide anything, "Jun Ling and Jun Jin have gone too far this time."

The emperor poured another glass of wine and drank it down, with a deep light in his eyes: "If according to my previous temperament, after knowing the news, I would definitely imprison the two of them until death, but now that I am old, I feel that I have a heart in everything I do. Powerless... Sister Huang, when I saw the case files sent by Jun Yu, I even subconsciously helped the two of them find an excuse, hoping to prove that this matter was not done by them..."

"The heart of being a parent is always soft, and it is understandable for the emperor to think so."

"Sister Huang, what do you think... what should I do?"

Princess Yide turned her head to look at the emperor, with a slight smile on her lips: "Hasn't the emperor already made up his mind?"

"I... Huangjie, I can't let the people down on the imperial court, but I won't let the two of them lightly."

Princess Yide nodded: "Since the emperor has already made a decision, then he can do it according to his own ideas."

"But I'm worried that this will pamper them and make others think that I'm trying to protect you." The emperor sighed, feeling more and more disappointed with King Ling and King Jin in his heart, "Sister Huang, this is the first time I feel so flustered."

Jun Yu's tears and grief are not lies. Through the description in his mouth, he can imagine the tragic situation in Yishui City. Fortunately, Yunyao has a prescription to suppress the epidemic, so that people infected with the epidemic can survive. What if there is no prescription for her? , I am afraid that not only Yishui City, but also those nearby cities will suffer from the disaster. At that time, how should he, the emperor, explain to the people of the world?

"It is the blessing of all the people in the world that the emperor can feel this way." Seeing the uneasy look of the emperor, Princess Yide felt very emotional in her heart. She did not misunderstand the person. Even though the emperor in front of her had been in control of the world for many years, she still did not lose it. The awe of the imperial power and the people in the heart is why the Dali Dynasty can flourish and prosper.

"Sister Huang, don't comfort me anymore." The emperor gave a wry smile, drinking one cup after another, and didn't stop until there was no more wine left in the jug.

Princess Yide took back the jug and wine glass, and held them in her hands again: "Have a drink to enjoy yourself, get drunk and hurt your body, and the wine is finished, so go about whatever you should be busy with. There are so many things in court. The emperor can't tolerate being lazy."

The person in front of him is the emperor of the Dali Dynasty. Even if he is weak sometimes, he doesn't need to be comforted deliberately. He knows what he should do and where his path is.
