Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Emperor Wu Lie was not in good spirits. He had been sitting for such a long time and was exhausted.

But when he heard the guard's words, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Minister Chu, his eyes were still cold and intimidating: "Unfair?"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine De knelt and crawled forward, begging for mercy with a pale face, "Your Majesty, my brother has always been loyal and has never done anything he shouldn't have done. Today, he opposed the princess's becoming emperor for the sake of the country and the people. He has no selfish motives, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu Lie was impatient: "Be quiet."

Orders must be obeyed.

Concubine De froze in her movements, unable to restrain a sense of fear and despair, but she kept silent and dared not say anything.

Emperor Wu Lie was different from previous emperors. He had led the army for many years and had long developed a temper that was firm in his words. The rules in the army were strict and no one was allowed to question or refute.

Even in the court and the harem, his iron-blooded prestige had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As long as he got angry, no one dared to challenge his temper, even the most rebellious ministers or the most domineering concubines.

"Keep waiting." Emperor Wu Lie closed his eyes, "Call the imperial physician."

"Yes." Rong Chun took the order, turned around and walked out of the hall in a hurry, ordered his apprentice to call the imperial physician, and then quietly returned to the emperor's side.

Concubine De's face was as pale as paper, tears fell, and fear swept over her heart.

Yan Donghuang was serious.

She really wanted to put the Chu family to death.

The emperor wanted to make Yan Donghuang the heir, and the eldest brother spoke out to stop him, so Yan Donghuang used him to establish his authority?

This ambitious jackal!

She has been so good to her over the years, like a mother and daughter, but she is so ruthless?

The atmosphere in the hall was more tense than before, like a taut bowstring, ready to explode.

No one dared to speak easily.

Even Prime Minister Pei and Grand Tutor Qi were silent, both of them had a solemn look on their faces.

"Grand Tutor." Emperor Wu Lie cast a deep gaze over, "You are old, it is inconvenient to kneel for a long time. Rongchun, please sit down."

Grand Tutor Qi was terrified: "Your Majesty, I dare not."

"Grand Tutor, are you going to oppose me too?" Emperor Wu Lie's tone was light, but full of intimidating pressure, "The Qi family has always been loyal, it is a noble family, but not pedantic, so I don't want to take action against the Qi family, nor do I want to kill the noble family because of the Donghuang crown prince, which will cause criticism from the world, but if it is really necessary, Grand Tutor should know that I don't really care about my reputation."

The king will worry about his reputation being damaged only when he rules the world with benevolence.

But since he ascended the throne, Emperor Wu Lie has been practicing both kindness and power.

The kindness is real kindness.

He never hesitates to promote and reward any meritorious ministers, and he is willing to make exceptions and reuse any capable person, regardless of their background.

As for the parasites, the drags, and the people with bad intentions in the court, he has never been soft-hearted. He killed those who deserved to be killed and demoted those who deserved to be demoted, and never cared about how the world judged him.

So what he said to Master Qi was the last respect and respect a king gave to his teacher.

Master Qi understood what he meant.

The emperor wanted loyal ministers, not traitors. No matter how virtuous and respected people were, those who disobeyed him in major decisions were not allowed.

In the past, it might have been possible to punish them lightly, but today, he was really going to kill them.

Master Qi lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, then kowtowed slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After that, he stood up, and with the help of the eunuch next to him, he walked to the chair in front of the hall and sat down.

"Prime Minister." Emperor Wu Lie turned his eyes to Prime Minister Pei, "Who do you think is most like me among my princes and princesses?"

Prime Minister Pei was startled, then replied respectfully: "Princess Qingluan."

Emperor Wu Lie asked again: "Who is the most capable?"

Prime Minister Pei was silent for a moment: "Princess Qingluan."

"Who is the most courageous?"

"Princess Qingluan."

"If there is an invasion in the future, who is most confident to resist the foreign enemy?"

"Princess Qingluan." Prime Minister Pei lowered his head and gave the same answer, "I admire Princess Qingluan's ability, and I also admire the Princess's firm will to defend the country, but I think that the Princess is more suitable for the battlefield-"

Emperor Wu Lie said coldly: "Can you guarantee that she will stay on the battlefield for the rest of her life?"

Prime Minister Pei was startled, and suddenly fell silent, speechless.

He understood what the emperor meant.

Princess Qingluan had too many military achievements and too strong abilities, and the emperor who came to power in the future might not be able to tolerate her-even if she was a woman.

Especially today, the emperor wanted to make Yan Donghuang the heir.

If another prince takes the throne in the future, today's incident will definitely become a thorn in the heart of the new emperor. The existence of Princess Qingluan will threaten the throne, and the new emperor cannot tolerate it.

The young generals with outstanding abilities in the court are all under the command of Princess Qingluan. Once she gets into trouble, the others will inevitably be killed one by one.

Although these are things that have not yet happened, they are very likely to happen one day in the future, and then Yong Dynasty will inevitably be in a civil strife.

If the emperor loses, the throne will be replaced; if Princess Qingluan loses, the Yong Dynasty will suffer heavy losses in military strength.

Prime Minister Pei seemed to have seen what would happen in the next ten years. His eyebrows frowned, and he suddenly realized that at the moment when the emperor decided to make Yan Donghuang the crown prince, there was actually no other choice.

He was silent for a moment and replied: "Although the emperor decided to break the ancestral system and it was against the rules, Princess Qingluan is indeed the only one who can guarantee the prosperity of Yong Dynasty. I have nothing to say."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the princes changed, and they all turned to look at him.

"Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, a woman being an emperor is a violation of the laws of nature. How can you——"

"Old Third." Emperor Wu Lie's voice was ruthless, with a hint of killing intent, "Do you mean that I am old and stupid, and I want to go against God on purpose?"

The third prince's face turned pale, and he kowtowed quickly: "That's not what I meant, I dare not! Please understand, father, I--"

"Drag him out." Emperor Wu Lie waved his hand lightly, "30 strokes of the cane."

The remaining princes were as quiet as chickens.

Father likes the number 30 very much?

Is it because 30 strokes of the cane will not kill people, but can make people seriously injured and speechless?

The third prince was dragged out, and he dared not continue to beg for mercy, for fear that his father would add 30 more strokes in anger and beat him to death directly.

"Your Majesty!" A guard outside the palace came in quickly, entered the palace and knelt down to report, "When the princess searched the courtyard of the eldest son of the Chu family, she found a boy who was chained for a long time. The princess ordered me and others to bring the boy in. Please take a look, Your Majesty and the ministers."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at Minister Chu in astonishment.

A boy who was chained for a long time?

Who is that?

Emperor Wu Lie's face was cold: "Bring him in."

"Yes."
