Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 386 Confronting the court - Yan Shengrui's final blow

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Death row prisoners are human beings as well as prisoners. It's not obvious that there are ready-made ones. Why should I look far away?

Besides, the emperor may not understand what I mean. What I want are members of the Zhang family, not their corpses. The so-called perfect human skeleton must be cut with a knife from a living person, and the skeleton cannot be stained with blood. , before the skeleton is exposed, a person cannot die. After cutting off all the flesh on his body piece by piece and obtaining his entire perfect skeleton, he will finally stab a knife in his heart and end his life. Treat the skeleton with a special process, and it can be preserved forever. "

No matter how bloody and cruel the words are, they seem to be taken for granted when they come out of his mouth, and everyone who listens is chilled from head to toe. This way of killing people is too cruel.

"Ah huh."

Two legs were broken, and under the erosion of poison, Zhang Haitian was in pain, but what really tormented him was Ling Jingxuan's words, as long as he thought that his sons would be gouged out by him, He was in so much pain that he wished he could bite him to death, but he couldn't do it. He couldn't help looking at the third prince for help, and his broken body crawled towards him with difficulty. He is his own nephew, and now he is the only one who can save Zhang. home.

The third prince is also entangled, because he subconsciously helped the Zhang family to despise Ling Jingxuan last night, Uncle Jiuhuang dared to beat him in front of civil and military officials and his father, without any regard for his prince's face. Standing up to speak for the Zhang family, Uncle Nine Emperors might slap him to death. Without the Zhang family, he would have no support from his family, and he would undoubtedly lose a lot of help in fighting for the throne. What is fighting for the throne?

But he seems to have forgotten one thing, the last thing an emperor needs is kindness, but kindness is indispensable. A tyrant without any feelings, even if he sits on the throne, will be dragged down sooner or later. Under such circumstances, let alone saving the Zhang family, if he is unwilling to say a word for the Zhang family, then he has basically lost the qualification to compete for the throne.

"Oh, third prince..."

After finally climbing to the feet of the third prince with difficulty, Zhang Haitian stretched out his hand to grab his trousers, and looked at him pleadingly with tear-stained eyes. He knew his difficulty, and he didn't ask him to save everyone in the Zhang family. But please don't let them fall into the hands of that poisonous man, just keep a trace of blood for the Zhang family, so that he will die in peace.

However, just when he was about to catch the third prince, he dodged first, all his movements seemed to stop at this moment, Zhang Haitian even forgot the pain all over his body, and forgot to close his hands stiff in mid-air. When he came back, tears filled his eyes with painful disappointment. Is this the nephew he put all his efforts to protect the Zhang family?He was not even willing to listen to his entreaties, how could he expect him to keep the Zhang family?

Not only Zhang Haitian, but also the emperor sitting on the dragon chair who changed his face at the same time. He also went from prince to prince and then to emperor. He knows better than anyone what the prince's natal family was like before he became the emperor. Important existence, almost every relative does not have too much selfishness when supporting the prince. They only want their grandsons and nephews to sit on the throne. It can be said that before the emperor ascended the throne, the relationship with his relatives was more important than that of his relatives. Returning relatives to the emperor's family, now that the third prince is so ruthless, how can he treat his brothers and the royal clan kindly in the future?Lao Jiu's threat is not a reason for him to abandon the Zhang family. He, the emperor, is still sitting here. He is an extremely selfish person who only cares about himself and has nothing else in his heart. It is impossible for him to entrust his throne to this kind of person.

Those who had the same idea as the emperor were the ministers at the top of the court, a person who didn't even care about his relatives and relatives. If outsiders like them followed him, they would sooner or later be cunning and dead. Yan Shengrui looked up at his daughter-in-law who was always smiling. Is this his purpose?Regardless of Zhang Haitian's willingness to drag the third prince into the water, he has already fallen into his calculations. A prince with a lack of virtue will not be supported by anyone, let alone the emperor's approval.

Facing the man's gaze that seemed to see through everything, Ling Jingxuan just blinked mischievously. He just took some medicine and made threats. All the choices were made by themselves and had nothing to do with him. The emperor is getting old. Even when he was young, he had harmed his clan brothers and suppressed his mother-in-law who supported him with all his strength, but now, he is contradictory. He neither wants to see his son turn to his mother-in-law, nor accepts that he is a The person who is cruel and ruthless to his relatives and siblings, what he grasped is just this point. When the emperor is disappointed in him, it doesn't really matter whether he lives or dies.

It's not that the third prince didn't feel the attention of everyone, and the fist hidden in his sleeve kept loosening and clenching again. How could he be willing to give up the Zhang family's help, but he couldn't, Yan Shengrui's slap brought too much fear before, he There is no way to think about what the act of abandoning the Zhang family means, and what he will lose at the same time.

"Oh, I'm recruiting... I'm recruiting all of them..."

After the extreme heartache, Zhang Haitian finally realized how unreliable his nephew was, and he almost screamed out his heartbreak. Ling Jingxuan, who was leaning next to Yan Shengrui, raised his eyebrows slightly. It cannot be said that it was an accident, and this result was also in his expectation Among them, there is a saying that is very true, if you don’t break out in silence, you will die in silence. Zhang Haitian has only two choices in the end, either choose to take the third prince to be buried with him, or accept everything in silence, and watch the entire Zhang family go from here on out. perish, and he just chose the former.

The third prince turned his head abruptly, his wide eyes were filled with disbelief, did he really want to say everything?Does he know what the consequences will be if he speaks out?

The emperor's expression also changed. In fact, many things are obvious. Almost everyone thinks that way, and they have done a lot of things secretly, but no one dares to say it. The third prince will either die or be injured, even he, the emperor, cannot keep them.

But how could Ling Jingxuan give them a chance to stop it?Things finally went in the direction he wanted.

"Master Zhang, have you figured it out? Next time, this concubine can't guarantee that the poison she puts will only cause you pain."

Squatting in front of him to detoxify him, Ling Jingxuan sneered bloodthirstyly, the pain in his whole body was finally gone, Zhang Haitian didn't feel any relief, but felt even more painful, looking up at the queen who looked like a devil, Zhang Haitian Hai Tian lowered his eyes, and said almost in a whisper: "Princess, please remember your promise."

This time, the tears left behind were not caused by physical pain, but heartache. The behavior of the third prince completely broke his heart.

"Since Mr. Zhang has already figured it out, let's talk about it, why do you want my prince to have no children or grandchildren?"

Ling Jingxuan didn't talk to him, but just stood up and walked towards Yan Shengrui, looking at him with him and everyone in the hall, Zhang Haitian really wanted to struggle to sit up, but his legs couldn't use any strength at all, so he could only lay down on the ground Gritting his teeth, he said: "This minister is for the third prince. Prince Sheng's achievements over the years have not only surpassed the princes, but also surpassed the emperor. In the past, it was good that he had no heirs. A prince without heirs, no matter how much meritorious service he has made , the royal clan would not recognize him as emperor, but now it is different, he has heirs, even if he doesn't care about it, he may fight for the position for his sons, so basically there is nothing wrong with the princes. It was a result neither the Weichen nor the third prince wanted to see, so the Weichen wanted to kill the sons of Prince Cheng, and then tried to kill the princess. After he had no heirs, he would naturally not covet the throne anymore. Who knows? ...The concubine is not an ordinary farmer's."

Having said this out of breath, Zhang Haitian stopped to take a breath, and continued to speak vigorously: "Now that the Xiao family has lost power, the eldest prince has lost all his advantages, and the second prince has never had anything to build. The Seventh Prince who made friends with him will inevitably be damaged, Prince Cheng will not only lose the motivation to seize the throne, but also will not look up to the Seventh Prince because of the princess, the Third Prince will have a chance—”

"Shut up!" The third prince couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed out almost frantically to interrupt him. Facing the strange gazes of the officials, the third prince raised his hem and slammed it against the strange eyes of Prince Cheng and his wife. Kneeling down: "Father, this is all Master Zhang's wishful thinking. My son has never thought of it like this. I beg Father to check it out."

"bump!"

"Come here, take Zhang Haitian out and chop him up!"

Yan Shengzhi went up against the case angrily. This not only implicated the third prince, but also involved him. It is difficult to vent his hatred if he is not killed. Such words can be brought to the court, in front of the old man. Nine said it?

"slow."

Yan Shengrui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, once again strongly prevented the guards in front of the palace from coming in to take people. He slowly stood up from the chair, took a meaningful look at the emperor, then turned and walked towards Zhang Haitian, standing in front of him and said condescendingly: "If this king wants to seize the throne, it's true that those princes have nothing to do with it. However, the premise is that this king must want it. Just for such an unreasonable reason, you dare to touch this king's little group!"

"bump!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shengrui aimed at his chest and kicked him towards the pillar next to the main hall. Before Zhang Haitian could even scream, his brains burst and he died. Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help shrinking. Shrinking his neck, the emperor slowly sat back. What he has to do now is not to pursue Lao Jiu and kill someone in front of the palace, but to figure out how to settle Zhang Haitian's sting and how to appease Lao Jiu.

"According to this king, Zhang Haitian is not the only one who thinks that way, right? This king has no time to care what you think. Today, this king said it clearly in front of the emperor's brother and ministers of civil and military affairs. I, Prince Daqing Guosheng Yan Shengrui, I will never sit in that broken chair in my life! Brother Huang, Brother [-], Brother [-], Uncle Huang, and everyone present can testify that if one day the king covets the throne, may there be thunderbolts! "

The domineering and powerful voice fell, and the entire hall was silent. No one thought that Prince Cheng would swear such a poisonous oath at such a time and on such an occasion. Those who had the same thoughts as Zhang Haitian were all shocked, and knew him very well. The Zeng Hou Yuan Guogong and others were not surprised at all. Others may be rare in the throne, but Yan Shengrui has never been rare since he was a child. Otherwise, it would not be Yan Shengzhi sitting on the dragon chair, but him.

Feudal society believed in such things as swearing. Although Ling Jingxuan personally felt that it was all nonsense, but with Yan Shengrui's powerful final blow, at least those people would not attack their son again. It is also a good thing.

It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked, even though Yan Shengrui had told him more than once that he didn't care about his throne at all, Yan Shengzhi never really believed it, but at this moment, he really believed it, no matter whether he was He said those words because of his son or some other reason, but at least, after ten years of fear, he finally took a reassurance. patron saint.

"I have always been in harmony with Brother Nine, and I have never doubted his loyalty to me. Some people have evil intentions and provoke the brotherhood between me and Nine. Zhang Dezi, pass on my will. The crimes of the Zhang family are unforgivable. , All the male members of the Zhang family were killed, the women rushed into the military prostitutes, and the third prince, who is a prince, has a huge plan, immediately deprived of his status as a prince, demoted to a commoner, sent to the southwest three thousand miles, and will never be able to return to Beijing."

The emperor was also ruthless enough, in order to win the trust of others and appease Yan Shengrui, he was willing to exile even his own son, and the third prince undoubtedly became the first prince to be exiled.

"No, father, my son is wronged, everything is the Zhang family's self-righteousness, my son doesn't know anything, father... father."

After a brief moment of stupefaction, the third prince shouted fiercely, but Yan Shengzhi sat back on the dragon chair and waved his hands weakly. The guards in front of the hall forcibly dragged him out, and the hall echoed for a long time. , No one dared to speak. Before going to court, many people had the mentality of watching a good show. They didn't expect that the final result would be so heavy.
