Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

The officials knelt and sat in front of the palace for three days, and many of them fainted to the ground.

In the early morning, the emperor finally ordered the officials to enter the palace, and seemed to accept their advice, the gray-faced officials quickened their pace and staggered into the golden palace.

After entering, I found that the emperor was already sitting on the top of the main hall, and just below the steps of the throne, stood a dusty man. Although his clothes were not dirty, they were stained with dust at first glance, and his hair was slightly dirty. Messy, still holding a whip in his hand.

Just when the officials of the Ministry of Rites were thinking about how to play the performance later, the man turned his head and greeted everyone with a parted smile: "Everyone, you are safe and sound. I heard that you knelt outside for three days. God, I think you adults look pretty good, you look so strong and healthy, when the war starts on the border, you should go to the front line to fight for the country."

Many people couldn't help but shrink their pupils: Your Highness King Yu, isn't he in Jiangnan? Why did it suddenly appear above the hall?

King Yu pursed his lips, and seemed to be full of smiles, but the surrounding officials felt the coolness behind them, as if they were being targeted by something dangerous. Many generals couldn't help but look at King Yu carefully, and secretly sighed in their hearts, the murderous aura on His Royal Highness the Second Prince is so strong.

"The ministers and others see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The emperor didn't cry out, but his expression was indifferent: "Aren't you willing to kneel? Thinking about it, I don't want to get up now. I never force others to make things difficult, so I will let you kneel for a while."

"Your majesty, my ministers and others are all for thousands of people. Before, the ministers suggested closing Yishui City, but the emperor did not agree, so that the epidemic spread to other cities along Yishui City. If this continues, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be in danger. Yea!"

"Your Majesty, Master Sun is right. Please listen to your advice and close Yishui City."

Standing above the main hall, King Yu suddenly looked sad, and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, tears streaming down his face in an instant. The appearance of crying bitterly did not care about the majesty of the prince at all, "Father, I beg you to have mercy on the people in Jiangnan. , Pull down Master Sun and Master Nan who spoke just now and execute them!"

"His Royal Highness, you...how can you speak like this?"

King Yu's tears fell faster: "Father, according to the household registration records of Yishui City, there are a total of more than 43,600 people in the city. After a flood, there are only less than 1,000 people left. Among the people, there are more than 300 people who are infected with the disease. According to the two adults, should these people who have finally gained life be killed again? This is too cold-blooded and heartless!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are ruthless, but that you can't make a big loss because of a small one. If more people are endangered because of these hundreds of people, then it's a gain and a loss!"

"Fart!" King Yu turned his head, "As officials, you don't want to save the people after something happens. Your first thought is to kill them all. Now there are people in Guancheng who have the plague. Do you want to close it now? The city gate, trapping more than 30,000 of them to death? If the epidemic continues to spread along the water, according to what the two adults mean, is it going to destroy half of the Dali Dynasty?"

The faces of the two officials who spoke were pale: "Your Majesty, the ministers absolutely did not mean that."

"You officials, you keep saying that you are for the country and the people, but you are actually destroying the foundation of our Dali Dynasty. The emperor is the sky, and the people are the earth. The interdependence of the sky and the earth is indispensable. Now there is a problem with the land. You It is about to be destroyed. I dare to ask you adults, where do you stand without the land under your feet? How do you feed yourself without the land under your feet? To use a folk saying, what you do now is to eat at the table and scold your mother at the table. Everyone is ungrateful, wolf-hearted! To close the city gate and kill the people, this is simply treason!"

Several officials almost lay down on the ground, before they had time to refute King Yu's inappropriate words, they quickly kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ministers absolutely did not mean that, His Royal Highness King Yu insulted the ministers and others, please learn from the emperor."

The second prince, King Yu, took two steps forward on his knees, knocked his head on the steps and said, "Father, my son is heartbroken. You have never been to the south of the Yangtze River, and you don't know the tragedy of Yishui City. The whole city is in ruins, and there are corpses everywhere. There are wailing everywhere! The soldiers who entered the city to help clean up the streets were seven-foot men kneeling and crying bitterly, women and children holding children, men protecting their families, old people struggling to survive...they are all ordinary people, they are all working hard Survival, the people are so innocent, they just want to live simply, why is it so difficult!"

The emperor looked down at King Yu with a painful look in his eyes: "It's my fault..."

King Yu wiped away his tears, knelt up straight and looked resolute: "Father, my son is unfilial today, just to make a big disturbance in the court. If anyone dares to close Yishui City today and kill the people infected with the plague, my son will directly He took his family and threw them into Yishui City, and let him see with his own eyes how difficult it is for the people today, and how hard it is to live! King Yue and Princess Wenxian helped the people to collect the corpses every day, and the thick smoke from burning It can be seen from hundreds of miles away. The billowing black smoke is the restless ghosts of the people. What are they doing? They are staring at us, standing beside us, watching so many officials in our court do nothing, I only think about how to destroy the people of my Dali Dynasty..."

Many officials couldn't help trembling all over. They didn't feel anything before, so why did they feel so cold after listening to King Yu's words, as if there was really something hiding in the dark, staring at them relentlessly.

"Jun Yu, you lost your composure."

"Father, this son is guilty, you can punish him however you want, I just ask father to give me some time, let my son escort the medicinal materials to Yishui City first, and let King Yue and Princess Wen Xian give the medicine to the people first. The people are suffering, and the hearts of my sons and ministers are aching..." King Yu wailed loudly, and those who heard the cry were sad, and those who heard it were weeping.

The emperor couldn't help sighing, stepped off the throne and helped him up with his own hands: "Get up, your temper has always been straightforward, and now you have seen the tragic situation of the people in Yishui City, and it is understandable that you feel sad, all you ministers, what do you think? "

"Yes, understand...understand..."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction: "Xu Li, His Royal Highness King Yu has worked hard all the way, and he bestows the right to sit at the top of the main hall to move a chair for King Yu."

"Yes."

Xu Li hurriedly directed the servants to move up the chair. King Yu was so weak from crying that he sat down for two sittings.

The emperor felt even more heartbroken when he saw it: "You are a good boy, tell me about the specific situation of Yishui City."

King Yu nodded, and described the situation of the three most severely affected cities, focusing on Yishui City: "...Father, Princess Wenxian knelt down and led the soldiers and the people to pray for the dead. Their spirits in heaven can rest in peace, but there are so many officials in the court who carelessly ignore human lives and want to kill their compatriots left in the world, how can the dead rest in peace? Maybe they will turn into ghosts and come to them to intercede..."

The officials who heard this almost jumped up and kicked King Yu's chair. What a ghost, why are you talking about pleading? Didn't Yucheng do the same in the past? Why did they follow the old rules to persuade them, but they were pointed at the nose by King Yu and scolded them?
