fake prince

Chapter 1318 Decision
The emperor was furious, and Zhao Bingzhong lowered his eyelids to hide the emotion in his eyes.

Others were still around, and when they heard this sound, they also lowered their heads and stood with their hands down, not daring to look directly at Shengyan.

If they had the choice, most of them would want to go out immediately, and they didn't want to see His Majesty lose his temper, let alone know why His Majesty lost his composure.

In this palace, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

The more they know about the status of domestic slaves like them, the faster they will die.

This is not a lie. For the emperor's 20 years, one or two servants who did dirty work disappeared every year.

"Bastard, this evil animal, this evil animal!"

The emperor held the roll of paper, his hands were throbbing with veins, and his teeth were grinding.

Zhao Bingzhong doubted that at this moment, if one of the kings of Qi and King Shu was in front of His Majesty, His Majesty would not bite a few times because of his status, but he whipped the whip so hard that the two kings screamed.

But the two kings are not in front of His Majesty, so His Majesty cannot be allowed to express this anger.

For the second king, I am afraid it is not a blessing.

Expressing this anger, watching his son suffer, and his son sincerely begging for forgiveness, many things can be generalized, but if he does not vent this anger, the relationship between father and son may become estranged.

It is also true in history, if the emperor does not beat or scold, it shows that the emperor takes his son's mistakes more and more to heart.

This is an attitude towards political enemies, not sons.

As the emperor walked back and forth, the entire hall was so silent that even a needle could be heard. Some young servants couldn't even stand the pressure, their faces were pale, and their backs were sweating.

After a while, the emperor let out a foul breath, stood still, opened the roll of paper again, and read it carefully again.

The emperor frowned, and even the muscles on his face were twitching. After reading it, he threw the roll of paper aside, closed his eyes, and his face was pale.

Zhao Bingzhong raised his eyelids and quietly glanced at the roll of paper on the ground.

From his angle, he could faintly see some content, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"...Ge Chongling...was once a daughter..."

"...promoted...to Prince Qi's Mansion..."

Although he couldn't read the whole thing, Zhao Bingzhong had already guessed what was written on it.

The person who brought the documents was to investigate the background of the officials who reported from outside.

Zhao Bingzhong actually knew that this official, Ge Chongling, was on good terms with the King of Shu on the face of it, and had entered and left the Palace of the King of Shu many times. He knew it when he was still in charge of the Imperial City Department. With so many incidents happening, the entry and exit of such a low-level courtier into and out of the Prince's Mansion is not a major event.

He didn't investigate in depth either. Obviously, this is the same in the Imperial City Division under Ma Shunde's control. People who are not taken seriously mostly only investigate the superficial performance before jumping out.

Now it seems that this person who was recruited by the King of Shu turned out to be a member of King Qi?

This person was not only recruited by the King of Shu, but also benefited from the King of Shu, he was also rewarded by the Prince of Qi's mansion, and the King of Qi contributed to his promotion?
Zhao Bingzhong shook his head secretly, this Ge Chongling might not survive.

Zhao Bingzhong glanced at the emperor, and saw the emperor with his eyes closed, with an ugly expression on his face. Although it wasn't the previous rage, the fact that he calmed down in this rage actually showed that the emperor had murderous intentions.

Sure enough, when the emperor opened his eyes, his eyes were already gloomy and cold, like snakes, just looking at them could make people fearful.

"The one outside, don't need to save your life, just kill it immediately!"

"Yes!" Someone responded.

They were already being beaten, but the court stick was used to punish officials, and generally they would not be beaten to death. If they were beaten to death, a vicious accident would happen, and it would be ugly in history.

After all, not a house slave.

So outside drinking and beating, but holding it up high and falling down gently, there must be flesh and blood injuries, but it will not hurt your life.

However, when the emperor gave an order, things changed immediately.

"what……"

The emperor hadn't finished speaking when there was a whistling sound, and the muffled sound of the plank being pounded outside. The official Ge Chongling screamed loudly, but when he realized something was wrong, he immediately begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"I am a fifth-rank life officer... If you want to deal with it, you have to follow..."

That Ge Chongling begged for mercy loudly, but after only shouting twice, his mouth became blurred immediately, obviously because he was stuffed with a towel, he only heard the indistinct screams, and the boards being kicked one after another, which made everyone's hair stand on end.

Everyone stood with their hands down, and felt chills in their hearts. After a long time, or even a moment, there was only a muffled "plop" sound, and Ge Chongling's groans disappeared, leaving only silence.

"Your Majesty, you have been killed!"

"I pricked the silver needle on the foot, and there was not much reaction." After a while, the execution eunuch came in to report.

"Throw his body to a random graveyard outside the city." The emperor still couldn't understand his hatred, ordered, paused, and then said coldly: "His family members are all convicted, and there is no need for trial. The family that can produce such a disloyal person , there must be a group of traitors and sycophants, and there will be no good people."

"Ah... yes!"

The eunuch was about to deliver the decree, the emperor glanced at Zhao Bingzhong, saw that he lowered his head and did not speak, and couldn't help frowning.

Officials and emperors in this world are like this, they will be killed if they are advised, and they will not be satisfied if they are not advised.

Thinking: "Zhao Bingzhong may not be able to use it much anymore, or he will be rewarded for retirement, or..."

Seeing that the eunuch was approaching the threshold, the emperor stopped thinking and said, "Wait!"

The eunuch dared not speak, and bowed to obey orders.

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "This world neglects my father and son in the Tian family, and he should be punished for the crime, but he is unfaithful. I can't be unrighteous. I reward the whole body and send it back!"

"His family members don't care about the crime, tell them to hurry back and bury him!"

"The emperor's grace is great!" The eunuch kowtowed to receive the order, and retreated. The emperor sat there, motionless, like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

After a long time, the emperor got up and walked outside. Zhao Bingzhong followed him silently. The body that had been killed just now had been dragged down. There were still bloodstains on the ground, and a servant was cleaning the ground.

Seeing the emperor coming, they knelt down one after another.

The emperor walked past these palace servants, just stepped on the bloody water, didn't care at all, and killed individual officials with sticks, what is this?
In the corridor, the emperor paced slowly, expressionless, not knowing what to think.

Such a situation is simply more terrifying than getting angry.

Everyone felt the fury of thunder, and the storm was about to come, and everyone dared not speak, and even dared not show their breath.

Zhao Bingzhong followed the emperor without saying a word, but Zhao Bingzhong was clear in his heart that the emperor did not continue to be angry, which is not a good thing.

In the past, the emperor might get angry when encountering minor matters.

But this time, when it comes to two sons who want to kill each other, the emperor's attitude is even more shocking.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have already made a decision!"
