The medical concubine arrives: Prince, don't be arrogant

Chapter 385
The emperor listened carefully, and the chaotic sound of horseshoes showed that it was not just one person who came this time.

"Hold on, Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister!"

Grand Master Wen came here with all his ministers on horseback, specifically to speak a word of justice for King Jing.

Just now a few people ran to the gate of Taishi's mansion to ask him for help. Only then did he realize that respecting the king might be in trouble, so he brought a few cronies and courtiers who still had conscience in the court to stop the emperor's attack. atrocities.

"Grand Master Wen, you really deserve to be the person King Jing relies on the most. He is dying, yet you dare to intercede for him."

"Your Majesty, although the old minister doesn't know why the Emperor made such a move, but according to what the old minister has seen, no matter what the King Jing committed, he should make it clear in the court, and should not make a decision in private!"

Master Wen was careful in his words, for fear of offending him again.

"What if I have to settle here today?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, showing his evil nature, making it clear that he didn't want to reason with him.

"Your Majesty, the issue of the assassination of Prince Jing's Mansion has not yet been resolved, and this matter has something to do with the Emperor. If the Emperor insists on doing this, I'm afraid it will be questioned by people all over the world!"

"According to what you mean, I'm going to kill people to silence my words, and use the method of slandering and respecting the king to excuse myself?"

The emperor suppressed his smile inch by inch, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Your Majesty, this veteran has absolutely no intention of doing so. However, if the Emperor insists on condemning King Jing in such a vague manner, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the world!"

"Okay! Master Wen said it very well!"

Master Wen suddenly heard the emperor's applause, so he raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that he drew the sword from the imperial guards beside him, and turned to point at the surrounding people.

"I want to see, who dares to disobey! I am the ruler of the world handpicked by my father. He is just a little prince. If I want to kill him, who dares to say anything?!"

The emperor held the saber in his hand, and his icy eyes swept over the people around him one by one. Seeing his crazy appearance, no one dared to speak out.

"Your majesty, you only know that you are the master of the world, so why have you ever remembered what the former emperor said?"

Master Wen trembled and knelt on the ground, touching the ground with his head.

"Since childhood, the first emperor taught the princes that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The first emperor compared himself to a lonely boat, and the people are the water that carries the boat..."

"Stop telling me such useless things!"

The emperor turned around and pointed his sword straight at Wen Taishi's throat.

"Under my rule, the people of Shanxue Kingdom can live and work in peace and contentment without suffering from the chaos of war. Could it be that these are not my credit?"

"Now, all the people here only recognize him and respect the king, and they don't take me seriously! If this is the case, what's the use of keeping these ridiculous and stupid people?!"

As soon as the emperor said this, he completely annoyed the people.

Even the court dignitaries behind Grand Master Wen shook their heads, extremely disappointed by the emperor's remarks.

At this moment, Zhang Taifu stood alone in front of King Jing's mansion, standing guard together with the people.

With Zhang Taifu's blow to the head, other dignitaries stood together with him one after another, making it clear that they would silently fight against the emperor.

"You thieves and sycophants... yes, yes! The whole army obeys the order and immediately burns down King Jing's mansion. Anyone who insists on standing in front of the door will be killed without mercy!"

When the emperor issued this order, everyone was shocked.

However, no one has the intention to back down.

The Royal Forest Army did not move for a long time, because their brothers and sisters were probably among them.

They can't do it.

"Why don't you bastards do anything? Could it be that you are doing the opposite!"

Panting heavily, the emperor snatched the torch from the person beside him and threw it in front of the door.

Because the door was tightly blocked by people, the torch was thrown directly into the crowd.

"what!"

With a scream, some people were already on fire, but luckily the fire was not big, and with the help of everyone, it was quickly extinguished.

"Give me your hands! If you don't obey the order again, I will slaughter your entire family!"

"Sister..."

Several imperial guards were already choked up, helpless, they could only approach step by step, the torches in their hands would soon swallow them all up.

"Your Majesty, look quickly!"

At this moment, a royal guard guarding the emperor pointed to the inner courtyard of the palace and said.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw that the palace was already in flames, and the fire that filled the sky was about to burst out of the wall.

"What's going on here, Prince Jing's mansion is on fire?"

Master Wen and the others turned around and took a few steps back, looking at the closed door in front of them and the unstoppable fire inside.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?"

The dignitaries in the court believed that the matter was done by the emperor, so they asked directly.

"Hurry up and put out the fire! Everyone is looking for water to put out the fire, King Jing and Princess Jing are inside!"

I don't know who yelled, and then everyone reacted, and went to the nearby houses to fetch water to put out the fire.

And Taishi Wen just stared blankly at the fire soaring into the sky, and didn't move for a long time.

"It's impossible, it's impossible..."

The emperor murmured in disbelief, this was not arranged by him.

He thought to himself, this must be the ghost of King Jing and his wife again.

The fire was very fierce, and in a blink of an eye, the inner courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion was burnt down, not a single blade of grass was left.

When the people came running with pots and pans filled with water, the plaques in front of King Jing's Mansion had been burned down.

And the door they guarded tightly just now was also burned badly, revealing the mess in the mansion.

After everything was burned, the fire stopped naturally, and it was extinguished after a few pots of water poured down.

Looking at the ruined scene in King Jing's Mansion, just when everyone didn't know what to do, the emperor had a calm expression and walked forward step by step.

He waved the saber in his hand, pushed aside the obstacles in front of him, and walked into the palace of Prince Jing full of fireworks.

Seeing this, the Imperial Forest Army followed closely and entered the palace together.

The emperor went straight to the burnt and disfigured inner courtyard. Judging from the extent of the damage, it was not difficult to see that this was where the fire started.

"All of you search everywhere carefully, and come to see me after you find the body."

"Yes."

After a long while, when all the Imperial Forest Army had searched, they still didn't find half of the corpses.

"Your Majesty, perhaps the fire was so intense that no body was left behind."

The Imperial Forest Army at the side looked at the courtyard walls around them, they were all burnt black, and they couldn't see the original appearance. Come to think of it, it was normal that they couldn't find the corpse.

"Impossible, even if it is turned into ashes or burned into charcoal, there should be some traces."
