Chapter 45 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (45)

"Father, please allow me to speak a few words.

This matter can only be downplayed, and everyone should try not to mention it. Even the funeral of the Thirteenth Brother should be simple. If possible, it would be best if one or two other major events occurred to attract the attention of the people in the capital.

Only in this way can we minimize the impact of this incident.”

Now, the only one who dares to speak out is the crown prince. Moreover, this matter not only concerns the face of his father, Emperor Tianwu, but also the stability of his family's ruling position and the face of the entire royal family. No matter how much he, the crown prince, does not want to intervene, he has to.

Although there is no perfect communication science yet.

But it does not affect the fact that smart people have already learned how to apply it.

It is better to handle the matter in a low-key manner and not respond, or even better to create a few other major events, or expose a few other major events to divert people's attention. After ten days or half a month, the related rumors will naturally fade away. On the contrary, if you suppress them on a large scale and control public opinion, the final impact may be even worse.

The saying that the more you explain, the worse it gets is an old one.

"Am I destined to remain passive like this forever? Always being led around by this unknown entity, and judging by the sound of it, she's a woman?"

Rationally, Emperor Wu of Heaven knew that this was right.

But emotionally he found it difficult to accept.

At this time, the Imperial Censor Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a while, he stepped out and said:
"Your Majesty, I am most worried about whether this unknown being will continue to take action. As far as I know, there are probably few princes like His Royal Highness the Prince of Lu, but there are also many princes who do not abide by the laws of the land and have never been punished, or have not been punished according to the law.

There is far more than just His Royal Highness Prince Lu.

I'm afraid the princes of various places need to be more cautious."

As a high-ranking official in charge of the Imperial Censorate, Zhou Yu was naturally qualified to know things that ordinary ministers did not know, such as the fact that Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Guang had also been victims of the attack. That unknown being always spoke of the clear justice of heaven and retribution, and even claimed to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.

With a little thought, one can guess that the other party will probably not stop there. The other princes who have committed many evil deeds but have been safe and sound will probably be in trouble next.

At least until the other party is caught.

Your life may be in danger at any time.

After being reminded by him, most of the ministers, whether they were those who had thought of it a long time ago but just didn't say it, or those who really hadn't thought of it before, did not move.

Those who had previously bowed their heads and pretended to be dead continued to bow their heads and pretend to be dead.

Reduce your sense of presence.

After all, what does it have to do with them whether the prince is dead or alive? If he dies, he dies. Why should they be killed for being greedy for money? Those local princes receive so much salary every year, and they also do a lot of evil on weekdays but get away with nothing.

He deserved to die, and it would be better if he died.

They even feel a little relieved after dying!
Anyway, that unknown existence didn't kill them, so why bother thinking about specific ways to deal with it?
The ones who should be anxious are Emperor Tianwu and the entire royal family.

If he wasn't afraid of being killed by Emperor Tianwu.

They all wanted to raise their glasses to celebrate.

It could be said that the only ones whose expressions changed drastically at this moment were Emperor Tianwu, the Crown Prince, and the other silent princes. Those princes, including the Crown Prince himself, even immediately began to reflect on whether they had done anything inappropriate or illegal. In the end, although they were still a little nervous, they felt that compared to Prince Lu, they were much more humane, so they thought, "Is it okay?"

Although they discussed it for another two hours, there was nothing they could do. Faced with something that was beyond their comprehension, the best way to describe it was that they were powerless.

Emperor Tianwu ultimately chose to adopt the Crown Prince's advice, which was to remain as cool as possible. He ordered all civil and military officials, as well as anyone who had participated in the Heavenly Sacrifice, to refrain from discussing the incident. He immediately dispatched the Embroidered Uniform Guard to confiscate the families of eight nobles convicted of embezzling military supplies and nine officials convicted of embezzling grain taxes, and then dragged them to Caishi Street to be executed by slow slicing.

The evidence against the eight nobles and nine officials had actually been collected six months ago, but it wasn't comprehensive enough, and the connections between them hadn't been figured out yet. Emperor Tianwu had originally wanted to find out everything and then bring them down all at once. But now, he needed some big news and events to attract the attention of the people in the capital.

We can only sacrifice them in advance.

Originally, based on their qualifications and the crimes they committed, they were not qualified to be publicly tortured to death in Caishi Street. It was also because of the reason mentioned above that they were given this opportunity.

After Ding Shui dealt with the Prince of Jin and returned to the capital, she was deeply upset when she learned about this incident, but after the upset, she was also somewhat happy. She was upset because she had missed three prisoners being executed by lingchi, which had saved her husband, the Prince of Lu, from having his soul torn into pieces three times.

The good news is that we no longer have to worry about the prisoners who were not subjected to the torture of slow slicing.

The soul of Prince Lu will have to suffer in the future, but the souls of the other three princes who are still alive will not have to worry about the future.

Their biological father is so sweet!!!
Ding Shui even had some hope that Emperor Tianwu could continue to hold on. After all, if he compromised, announced the crimes of his three sons to the world, and had them executed by slow slicing, Ding Shui would not be able to go back on his word. He could only let them accept the punishment of the law and then stop there.

But if he doesn't compromise and insists on protecting her.

Wouldn't it be possible for them to enjoy the torture of lingchi a few more times?

After a period of time, because all the vassal kings who needed to be dealt with had been dealt with, and the original body's resentment was mainly concentrated on Prince Lu and Emperor Tianwu, Ding Shuishui was not in a hurry to do other things to enforce justice.

I might as well just stay in the capital.

Carrying Prince Lu's soul to the scene, the scene of lingchi in Caishi Street, there were so many people watching this time, so Ding Shui did not avoid it, but watched from the side. Once Prince Lu wanted to say something he shouldn't say, she would use her mental power to slap his soul in the face in time, making him shut up and unable to speak.

So the process went smoothly.

Nothing unexpected happened.

But within two days, Prince Lu's soul began to collapse. In addition to the physical torture, that is, the pain of being cut into pieces, his complete loss of the desire to live was also an important factor. After all, it was normal not to want to live after being tortured three times a day.

How could Dante Shui bear to let him die?

Of course, the first thing to do is to use the super synthesis system to quickly synthesize his soul, which has begun to disintegrate.

After synthesizing several times to activate the qualitative change effect.

His soul immediately became smaller.

But it is also tougher than before and not so easily broken down, and can withstand a few more blows.

Unfortunately, even so, he died three days later. His soul was still there, but his true spirit was dissipated. The true spirit is equivalent to the core of the soul. After the true spirit dissipated, the remaining soul was actually a ball of mental power with memory.

The Eighteen Levels of Hell have things like the Forgotten River Water and Yin Qi to coordinate and assist, so the soul is not so easy to collapse when being tortured. Ding Shui does not have those things.

Now this situation is acceptable!!!
With the complete death of Prince Lu, Ding Shui could clearly feel that most of the resentment he was carrying had dissipated in an instant. The rest would have to wait until Emperor Tianwu was killed.

It was already the sixth day after the sacrifice to heaven.

It was on this day that the local officials of King Han's fiefdom used their authority to rush the memorials through the post station, and finally submitted them to the Ministry of Personnel.

And quickly alarmed the entire Ministry of Personnel.

An hour later, it was handed to Emperor Tianwu.
