Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76

Chaotang
"Your Majesty, Duke Jing amassed a lot of money and bought a large amount of land, causing public dissatisfaction. Please execute Duke Jing!"

The battle between the two parties has not yet begun, don't be the first to bear the brunt, take the lead.

Emperor Chu frowned, "Jing Guogong?"

"Yes. Doesn't Your Majesty know?" Bie Fengjun asked back.

The Emperor of Chu snorted coldly, "I have a lot of things to do every day, how do I know what these untouchables are saying to amass money and buy land, and where did they start?"

Bie Fengjun said: "Your Majesty, the military service law and tax law you promulgated are too heavy, and there are not enough manpower for the autumn harvest, so everyone can only sell land for silver taels, and then buy grain to offset military service and taxes."

"You mean, is it my fault that Duke Jing violated the law?" Chu Huang's voice was cold.

"No, it's not." Bie Fengjun was dumbfounded.

Yang Xiao said in time: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shoufu said that now my Dachu's strategy is to fully tap the national power to resist Beili's attack."

"But what Your Majesty is doing now has already hurt Minji." Yang Xiao looked at Jiao Daqian.

Jiao Daqian's face froze, and he thought to himself, "How did it involve me?"

Sensing Emperor Chu's gaze, Jiao Daqian hurriedly said: "I did say it, but now is a period of national war, the situation is special, and all wars in the east should be the main focus."

"How is the situation in the Eastern battlefield?"

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Rank sent by the Wutang has arrived, and the inner strength empowerment is proceeding in an orderly manner." A person in charge of the military in the cabinet came out to report.

Emperor Chu tapped on the dragon case with his fingertips, and finally there was good news!
The Emperor of Chu said: "Duke Jingguo is a relative of the emperor who I personally appointed, and a small punishment and a big commandment are enough."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Jiao Daqian said.

"Ministers seconded the discussion" and everyone in the cabinet echoed them one after another.

"That's the end of the matter."

"The subject is different!" Bie Fengjun said loudly.

All civil and military officials cast surprised eyes, what happened to this old silver coin today?
Bie Fengjun took out a long scroll from his sleeve, knelt down in front of the Emperor Chu, and presented it with both hands, saying word by word: "Yesterday evening, the common people petitioned in front of the Duke's mansion, respecting the Duke's violent suppression, which caused a bloodbath. , Your Majesty, please kill this beast!"

"what?"

All the officials were shocked and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yang Xiao frowned and looked at Emperor Chu.

Chu Huang's face changed drastically, "Bring it here!"

The little eunuch unfolded the long scroll, checked it, and handed it to Emperor Chu.

What came into view was vigorous big characters, extremely scribbled but shocking, and Chu Huang's heart twisted accordingly.

There are more than [-] characters in total, but the Emperor Chu just glanced at it, put it aside, and said, "It's nonsense to turn the world upside down, is this Ai Qing's handwriting?"

"No, this is the only eyewitness testimony in the world." Bie Fengjun was secretly annoyed when he saw Emperor Chu's reaction.

"Then let the witnesses come to see me, and then I will call Duke Jing to confront me face to face." Chu Huang said loudly.

Bie Fengjun said: "Your Majesty! He is also dead."

"Dead? Not a survivor?"

Bie Fengjun said word by word: "When the heart dies, the person dies naturally."

"In that case, I deeply regret it." Chu Huang responded.

Yang Xiao said: "Your Majesty, if this matter really happened, it should be dealt with quickly."

"Father Ya!" Chu Huang yelled loudly, and said, "Whether this matter is true or not, I'm not sure yet. I will send the Imperial Guard and the Rites Supervisor to investigate."

"Your Majesty, the evidence is solid. The blood was so bloody that day, and even now, the smell of blood still fills the streets." Bie Fengjun's voice was hoarse.

Emperor Chu frowned, "I will find out the specific matters myself, so I don't need Aiqing to bother you."

"but"

"Okay!" Chu Huang shouted abruptly, "Ai Qing will focus on the victims, and ignore such trivial matters. The rest of the people, have their own books, and leave the court without incident."

Yang Xiao frowned tightly and took a deep breath.

Huang Yingjun and others all looked at Old General Yang Xiao. If he didn't speak, no one would dare to speak, especially after Chen Bangzhou was dismissed by the Emperor Chu.

Bie Fengjun clenched his fists in his sleeves, his eyes were about to burst, he only hated that when the old prime minister Chen Bangzhou was dismissed, he didn't say anything to stop him.

"Report~" The commander of the forbidden army walked quickly, knelt outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of people gathered outside the imperial city, and they said something like severely punishing sinners."

"Don't meet the king, it's a good way." Chu Huang said sadly.

Bie Fengjun panicked, "Your Majesty, it was definitely not the minister's doing."

Yang Xiao said: "Your Majesty, a large number of people from Tianwang City are gathered in front of the imperial city. The situation must be extremely serious. Please make a decisive decision immediately, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please make a decisive decision!"

All officials of the National Party echoed in unison.

Emperor Chu said angrily: "Father Ya, don't you think you have to be inseparable? The troublemaker is nothing more than dissatisfied because his own interests have been damaged."

"Troublemaker?" Yang Xiao opened his eyes wide, "Your Majesty, the late emperor devoted all his efforts to make the common people live and work in peace and contentment. That's why we have the great mountains and rivers in Dachu today. How can there be troublemakers?"

"It's my slip of the tongue." Chu Huang sighed, and said slowly: "Let them break up! I will find out about the specific matters. There is more."

The Emperor of Chu glanced at everyone, "No matter what, Duke Jing is a member of the royal family and my family! My family affairs don't need the intervention of my lovers, let alone the guidance of grassroots people!"

Jiao Daqian opened his mouth, but swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Why don't you go soon?" Chu Huang's eyes showed a fierce look.

The commander of the forbidden army took the order, and ran out of the room.

Outside the imperial city, the common people of Li were unarmed, crowds of people crowded shoulder to shoulder, at a glance, there were more than [-] people, and there were still people coming from behind.

The commander of the forbidden army issued an order, and everyone drew out their weapons and pointed at the people.

"By His Majesty's order, disperse the people, everyone." The commander of the imperial army shouted loudly with internal force.

"We are here to petition for the people, and ask the court to kill the thieves, so that everyone can be treated fairly!" A man shouted loudly.

The commander of the Imperial Army shouted: "Your Majesty and all the princes will investigate clearly what has happened. There is no need for you to gather crowds here to make trouble, and those who still do not retreat will be executed!"

Everyone looked distressed and looked at each other, trying to find a backbone.

"My lord, we just hope that the court can execute the murderer as soon as possible, and return the world to a bright future." A scholar said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Yeah, everyone just wants justice!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and I hope that the traitor can be executed as soon as possible!"

"Behead and respect the Duke!"

"Behead and respect the Duke!"

A group of people shouted loudly, excitedly, and gradually approached the palace gate.

"Bold!"

The commander of the forbidden army let out a long roar, like a fierce tiger in the mountain, and swept away with the long sword in his hand. With a "bang", a sword mark one foot deep appeared on the ground, stopping the people.

"Those who cross this line, kill!"

As soon as the words fell, the imperial guards stood in front of the line one after another.

The scene was completely silent, and everyone retreated unconsciously.

"Go away!"

"No, we" came out alone, and before he could finish speaking, the commander of the forbidden army slashed down with his sword, cutting him in half.

Everyone watched a fresh life go by in an instant, blood was everywhere, and screams rang out.

"Killed!"

"The imperial court killed people!"

Not long after, after the uproar, there was only a large pool of blood and corpses left in front of the imperial city.

The commander of the Imperial Army looked cold, "Throw it away!"

"Yes."

"My lord, my lord!"

Suddenly, a man galloped towards the imperial city.

"Dismount!" The commander of the imperial army shouted loudly.

The man walked to the gate of the imperial city, bowed his hands and saluted him, and said anxiously: "My lord, I have something important to report to Your Majesty in my humble position!"

"what's up?"

"Someone broke into the Duke's mansion with a sword and took Duke Jing away!"
