Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 100: The three barbarians!

Chapter 100 The three Yi tribes!
Emperor Yongjin's heart is now filled with murderous intent.

When a person has more than 30 years left to live, he will feel that there is still a lot of time and many things can be done slowly because he is still young.

When a person has more than ten years left to live, he will feel that time is running out and will speed up his actions as quickly as possible to do everything he can.

When a person has only a year or so left to live, and this person happens to be the emperor or the Son of Heaven.

That's unusual.

If a common man gets angry, blood will splatter five steps away, let alone the anger of the emperor? !

Looking at Emperor Yongjin, who was holding the Sword of Ancestors and had a furious look on his face, Cao Wei was already extremely panicked. What on earth could have caused Emperor Yongjin to look like this?

It's the King of Jin. Has he done something disrespectful again?

Or maybe which minister offended His Majesty?
"Go to the imperial prison." Emperor Yongjin held up the divine sword that represented the supremacy of imperial power and ordered Cao Wei.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his narrow eyebrows looked even colder against his cold cheeks.

The case of burning Jin?

What a great case of burning Jin!
Today, I want to let you know that I am not dead yet, and he is the one who has the final say in the current Great Zhou!!!

The words of you civil and military officials, these ministers, are not as important as a word from me!!!
Cao Wei was completely frightened when he saw the terrifying murderous intent emanating from Emperor Yongjin's eyes.

Such a ferocious look, as if he had just come down from the battlefield.

What on earth just happened?!
At this moment, Cao Wei's heart was shaking violently. He didn't dare to think too deeply about the current situation, because the feeling that Emperor Yongjin gave Cao Wei now was that His Majesty could do anything.

Crazy, completely crazy!
Emperor Yongjin did not restrain his bone-chilling murderous intent at all.

He fought his way through battles like the Battle of Poyang.

And how could the violent anger that had been completely aroused be contained just like that?

Looking at the pale Cao Wei, Emperor Yongjin simply reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I want to personally interrogate Wang Ruizhen."

Cao Wei suddenly came back to his senses and immediately reached out to support Emperor Yongjin, but his legs had already gone weak. The current Emperor Yongjin was so powerful that he even felt that he might die at the hands of Emperor Yongjin's sword at any time.

The moment Emperor Yongjin stepped out of the Taimiao.

He seemed to have figured out a lot of things and knew exactly how to do such things.

In prison.

Wang Ruizhen felt sleepy. But he still couldn't sleep. From being the Minister of Rites to a prisoner in the imperial prison, he could not accept such a change of identity.

It’s all because of that damn King Jin.

Thinking of this, Wang Ruizhen showed an angry look.

The "Memorial on Public Security" presented by Prince Jin did shock Wang Ruizhen at the time, but when he thought about it carefully, wasn't it just empty talk about state affairs?
Governing a country is a big deal. You can't just say you want to govern a country.

Just ridiculous.

Especially when Chu Shizhao dug up his land case, the emperor was furious and sent to jail, which caused Wang Ruizhen to suffer an unexpected disaster.

Even Wang Ruizhen couldn't understand why Chu Shizhao wanted to present the "Memorial on Public Security". What was the point of making enemies with all the ministers!
He offended himself, offended the Minister of War Lu En, and offended other ministers in the court.

Who can protect him? !
Especially regarding his own land case, Wang Ruizhen felt that he was wronged. Land donation was a trend in Jiangnan, and he was not the only one who donated land. Although some of the 100,000 acres of fertile land were seized by force, most of them were donated voluntarily by the people.

Now that these fields are under the control of Wang Ruizhen, he will impose less taxes on the people. Isn't that good for people's livelihood?

It’s just that they didn’t pay taxes to the court.

Chu Shizhao insists on exposing this mess. Can you also punish the other aristocratic families in Jiangnan who have made contributions by selling their land?

Doesn't the King of Jin understand the principle that the law does not hold everyone responsible?

In the officialdom, everyone takes care of each other. Only if you help me can I help you. If you give me face, I can also take care of you in the future.

It has made everyone so embarrassed, how can we resolve it in the future?

Wang Ruizhen felt really disgusted when faced with this kind of thing.

What he couldn't understand the most was that it was so difficult for you, a member of the royal family, to enjoy the same happiness as them!
Sometimes, only if we make the people suffer a little can we live a better life.

Just live your life well, what's wrong with you? Is it difficult for you?

You just have to put the things that everyone doesn't want to talk about, and the things that are just assumed to be fine, on the table, and you'll be satisfied.

Thinking of this, Wang Ruizhen lay on the haystack and could only sigh.

"Minister Wang Li, haven't you rested yet?" Chu Shizhao's voice came from the other side.

It is interesting to say that Chu Shizhao should have been detained in the clan house, but Emperor Yongjin threw him into the imperial prison to show his anger, and also threw Wang Ruizhen here. The two of them looked at each other across the wall, which was quite interesting.

Especially, the matter of Wang Ruizhen was exposed by Chu Shizhao in public.

Chu Shizhao felt quite comfortable and refreshed when he stepped on corrupt officials and dealt with those incompetent ministers who were just sitting in their positions doing nothing.

If Chu Shizhao's attitude had been a little milder, Wang Ruizhen's affairs would have been easily suppressed. After public opinion had subsided, he could have lay low for a few years in silence and continued to serve as an official.

Maybe his son or grandson will be able to continue working here and serve as officials in the Zhou Dynasty.

Then didn’t Chu Shizhao’s recklessness come in vain?

If you deal with this kind of person, you have to work him to death.

Wang Ruizhen felt unlucky when he heard Chu Shizhao's voice, not to mention that Chu Shizhao's words were full of jokes and ridicule. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, you don't think that because you did such a thing, His Majesty will think you are a loyal minister, right?"

"I'm not the only one you've offended."

"Besides, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. In this matter, I only need to hand over the 100,000 acres of good land and take off this official uniform. There will be people in the court who will guarantee that my offspring will have no worries."

"Even if I am deposed and can no longer sit in this court, my descendants can still sit in the court."

"But what about you? You have three elder brothers above you. You will never be able to become emperor in your lifetime, and you have offended so many ministers."

"You now just have a father who can protect you."

Wang Ruizhen didn't say anything else.

What this meant was that once Emperor Yongjin passed away, Chu Shizhao's brother would succeed to the throne. In order to appease the emotions of the ministers, he would inevitably have to take action against Chu Shizhao. Without the protection of Emperor Yongjin, how could Chu Shizhao end up well?

Obviously, it will not end well.

What he meant by this was to attack Chu Shizhao.

You are harming others and not benefiting yourself. What's the point of scolding all the ministers? In the end, the throne has nothing to do with you, and you will become a tool for the new emperor to show favor to his ministers.

"So what?" Chu Shizhao laughed loudly, "Do you think you are still the high and mighty Minister of Rites when you walk out of here?"

"The emperor's surname is Chu, so the heaven should also be named Chu. Coincidentally, my surname is also Chu."

Chu Shizhao's words fell.

Lights began to light up at the end of the dark corridor.

"well said."

Emperor Yongjin walked slowly towards him.

He looked at Chu Shizhao and soon recalled the Battle of Poyang, when his temples were gray, he had a few stubbles, and he looked weathered but fearless.

What kind of blood and fire did his fourth son go through? After escaping from the "Burning of Jin Case", he had to fight such a shocking battle where less than 10,000 people fought against hundreds of thousands of people.

When Wang Ruizhen heard the voice of Emperor Yongjin, his face suddenly changed. He didn't know why Emperor Yongjin suddenly came over, and what he said just now might have been heard by Emperor Yongjin. He immediately cried out, "Your Majesty, it is really too wronged for this old minister, so I said such a lie."

Emperor Yongjin nodded expressionlessly.

"Since you know he's guilty, drag him out and behead him."

Emperor Yongjin gestured to the soldiers beside him, then pointed at Wang Ruizhen.

He took the sword from the Taimiao, which represented his attitude, an attitude of cleansing up the court. This time, Emperor Yongjin was far more determined than usual.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Ruizhen's expression immediately became stunned. He never expected that Emperor Yongjin would execute him directly without even asking any questions.

"Those 100,000 acres of fertile land have nothing to do with me. It's all the result of collusion between those unruly people and my servants."

"I am in Chang'an, how can I know this news?"

"I am willing to donate these fertile fields—"

Emperor Yongjin reached out his hand again and asked the people around him, "Why are you still standing there?"

Wang Ruizhen's eyes immediately fell on Cao Wei, as if he wanted to ask Eunuch Cao for help. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am not the only one among the Jiangnan nobles who own land and offer it to you. I am willing to make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence."

Chu Shizhao's concerned voice followed, "Father, Lord Wang is right. Besides, our dynasty has an ancestral precept that officials should not be punished. It is in accordance with the rules to wait until the three courts have conducted a joint trial before taking action. Otherwise, you will be labeled a tyrant, and I really don't want to do that."

Cao Wei's eyes widened slightly.

You, the King of Jin, must put someone to death before you are happy? !

I don't know why Emperor Yongjin is so furious, and you are adding fuel to the fire.
Besides, how could you say such cold and heartless words in such a caring voice?
I can't speak as well as you can!
Cao Wei now didn't dare to say a word, let alone talk about their old friendship. Just looking at the current anger of Emperor Yongjin, even if ten Cao Weis came and clung to Emperor Yongjin's thigh, they would not be able to persuade him.

He is just a dog of Emperor Yongjin.

He knew exactly when to please his master and when to bite.

Under the lights, Emperor Yongjin looked normal. He simply said calmly, "My rules are the rules."

Watching Wang Ruizhen being dragged out by the guards of the Wude Division, he was still crying out that it was unfair.

Emperor Yongjin's gaze was fixed squarely on Chu Shizhao.

He didn't say anything, just stared at Chu Shizhao.

Chu Shizhao naturally would not show any fear and also looked directly at his father.

Until Wang Ruizhen's head was held in the hands of the soldiers and placed at the feet of Emperor Yongjin.

Emperor Yongjin then spoke the second sentence.

"Throw it out of the capital and feed it to the dogs."

Emperor Yongjin put his hands behind his back and spoke the cruelest words in a calm voice.

"The three Yi tribes."
