Chapter 551
"Hundreds of goodness and filial piety come first..." Yushi Zhongcheng Fang Shixian saw the emperor's gloomy face, and hurriedly stood up to argue with Guanglu doctor Fan Qing and monk Shen Rui: "The reason why the emperor spared King Xuanwu's death is precisely for this filial piety. Character!"

"Your Majesty Yushi's words are wrong. Although I, Dayin, put filial piety first, but if we lose the hearts of the people, how can we serve the people and the world by virtue of filial piety alone?" Fan Qing frowned and asked back, blocking Yushi Zhongcheng Fang Shixian's mouth.

"Your Majesty, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. King Xuanwu acts recklessly, and the Emperor can't let the people complain everywhere for the sake of filial piety!" Shen Rui continued to talk to Xiao Heng, who was high above him, every word he said was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes flickered With the determination to behead Xiao Zhao!

At this moment, Han Yunzhi, the prime minister who had been silent all this time, also stood in front of the ministers, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, when the Queen Mother asked the Emperor to swear an oath, she did not expect that King Xuanwu would do such a treasonous thing. His brother's throne...Your Majesty, killing King Xuanwu and eliminating harm for the people is not a violation of your oath! What's more, the Empress Dowager knows it well, and she never wants to see public grievances abound, the government is in turmoil, and the country is in peace!"

When Han Yunzhi said this, he paused, and continued: "The king of Luoyang led his troops to repel the Northern Wei Dynasty this time, but he was seriously injured because of King Xuanwu. If the emperor forgives King Xuanwu's death, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will also be dissatisfied!"

After Prime Minister Han Yunzhi finished speaking, a complex light flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes, as if he was thinking and weighing.

But Yang Ce, the school lieutenant under Hussar General Wei Ziyi, knelt down and said in a loud voice: "The emperor please execute King Xuanwu, and give the soldiers an explanation with the anger of the common people!"

Yang Ce's thick voice echoed in the hall, and before Xiao Heng could speak, most of the civil and military officials also knelt down and said in unison: "The emperor please execute King Xuanwu, so that the common people will be angry!"

Xiao Heng's face was ashen, and he looked at the officials kneeling in front of him with cold eyes, begging himself to execute Xiao Zhao, as if if he did not agree to execute Xiao Zhao, then they would not be able to kneel!

He originally thought that the officials would agree to his decision to send Xiao Zhao to Yulin County because of what he said was "filial piety", but he didn't expect that these people would agree to say that he must kill Xiao Zhao!

If Xiao Zhao wasn't his real brother, he probably would have made a decision without hesitation, but Xiao Zhao is his only real brother, the most beloved youngest son of his mother!

Xiao Zhao let him down time and time again, and in the end he even tried to seize the throne of his own brother. He didn't want to let Xiao Zhao go, and the words of his mother's dying mother always rang in his ears!

"Your Majesty, Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao is in trouble with the government and colluded with the enemy's country. He is really a traitor and a traitor. He cannot stay!" Seeing that the Emperor was still hesitating, Shen Rui solemnly persuaded him.

And the few Xiao Heng's confidantes who were trying to argue with Shen Rui and others didn't know what to say, so they could only stand aside silently.

Xiao Heng quietly looked at the ministers in front of him who unanimously asked him to execute Xiao Zhao. Whether it was the prime minister Han Yunzhi, the Guanglu doctor Fan Qing, or his most trusted Shangshu Ling Shen Rui, they all advised him to execute Xiao Zhao!
And Wei Ziyi's subordinate, lieutenant colonel Yang Ce, strongly begged him to execute Xiao Zhao!

That's all for Fan Qing, the prime minister Han Yunzhi, the Wei family, and Shang Shu Shen Rui are all pressing him step by step!
