Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Seeing what Su Ming said, Chu Xuanchen knew that Su Ming wanted to use Emperor Hongyuan's criminal evidence in exchange for his trust.

Since Su Ming wanted to use him, why didn't he follow suit and use Su Ming to avenge his parents.

As for Su Ming, if he always hides evil intentions and has another purpose, then he will not let him go in the future.

Thinking of this, he said coldly: "Master Su, what about the evidence?"

"The evidence is in the palace, and I ask the prince to enter the palace first, and after he settles down, I will present the evidence." Su Ming said.

"Okay, but before entering the palace, this king must first deal with these rebellious officials and thieves who betray the country and seek glory, greedy for life and fear of death." As he said, Chu Xuanchen's gaze was already looking at Geng Tian and others who came down from the tower. people.

As soon as Geng Tian and others walked down the tower, they heard what Su Ming and Chu Xuanchen said.

Geng Tian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, the lower officials are not traitors seeking glory, greedy for life and afraid of death, the lower officials are only worried about the people, and are afraid that Feng Lingtian will slaughter the people, so they will hand over the letter of surrender."

Wang Guang also said: "That's right, my lord, we did this to save the lives of the common people, so I ask you to learn from me."

Chu Xuanchen looked at Wang Guang, and said coldly: "Wang Guang, as a general defending the city, what is your duty?"

Wang Guang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It's to protect the family and the country, to protect the safety of Shengjing City."

"Then how did you do it?" Chu Xuanchen looked at him with extremely sharp eyes.

"The last general...the last general..." Wang Guang said, lowering his head hesitantly.

Chu Xuanchen curled his lips coldly, "Why, you can't say it? As a general defending the city, you are supposed to protect the safety of Shengjing City, even if it costs your lives, you will not hesitate. But what about you? If you didn't break in, you just want to hand over the city gate to others, do you still have the blood of a soldier?"

Wang Guang raised his head and looked at Chu Xuanchen in embarrassment, "But my lord, Feng Lingtian said that if we don't obediently surrender, he will massacre the city. The last general has to do this for the safety of the people."

Chu Xuanchen sneered, "Are you afraid of Feng Lingtian threatening you like this? It is clear that you are afraid of death, but you use the people as an excuse. If you are not greedy for life and afraid of death, you are all scrambling to open the city gate, the enemy can So easy to attack? If you resist with all your heart, the people will not die in vain!"

"The last general is convicted, please calm down..." Wang Guang was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a plop when he heard this, trembling all over.

"My lord, the ministers are also guilty." Seeing this, Geng Tian and the others were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.

When Emperor Hongyuan was around, Geng Tian never paid attention to Chu Xuanchen.

But now that Emperor Hongyuan has run away, only Chu Xuanchen has the military power, and Chu Xuanchen is the biggest here.

So Geng Tian was very afraid of him immediately, for fear that he would kill himself directly!

Seeing everyone pleading guilty, Chu Xuanchen glanced at them, and snorted coldly, "Heh, you people gave up without even trying to resist. Are you worthy of the people of Chu?"

Mo Li said: "Just now we all saw that you, as officials of the imperial court, groveled, betrayed the country and sought glory, and tried to follow Feng Lingtian and betray the state of Chu. How can people like you deserve to be the parents of the people? "

"They are not worthy at all, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Zhennan Army! This time, in order to drive away the enemy, the Zhennan Army was brave and tenacious, fearless of life and death, and sacrificed many people, we can win. If every soldier is like them How can we defend the country and the people if we are greedy for life and afraid of death?" Mo Zhu sternly said.

Hearing everyone's accusations, Wang Guang and the others hurriedly crouched down again, fearfully saying: "I know I'm wrong, please calm down my lord."

"My lord, please give us one more chance, we won't dare again!" Geng Tian flinched.

Geng Tian originally wanted to flee with Emperor Hongyuan, but Emperor Hongyuan didn't take him with him at all.

He had no choice but to make a bad move, and wrote a letter of surrender with Wang Guang and others, planning to surrender in exchange for life.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Li Wang.

Chu Xuanchen glanced at the crowd, then looked at Su Ming, and raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "Master Su, these officials betrayed the country in public, and even wrote a letter of surrender to Feng Lingtian. Look, how should we deal with it?"

Su Ming glanced at everyone, and said sinisterly: "Collaboration with the enemy and treason is of course a capital crime of copying the family and exterminating the clan. According to the law, the nine clans should be punished."

"Ah..." When everyone heard this, they quickly kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen and begged for mercy, "My lord, spare my life, spare the life of the sinner, the sinner knows his mistake!"

"My lord, please don't punish our nine clans, please forgive me." Geng Tian cried.

Several people were crying, and they had crawled in front of Chu Xuanchen, and they were all terrified.

Chu Xuanchen looked at them sternly, and said angrily: "What you have committed is treason. If I don't punish you severely this time, there will be more people following your example, so I will never forgive you lightly!"

"No, my lord, we knew we were wrong, please spare your life, please!" Several people were talking, with tears and snot running down their noses.

They didn't expect that Li Wang, whom they used to look down upon, now has the power of life and death.

If they had known this earlier, they would have treated him better back then, and they would not have followed the emperor to punish him!

At this moment, Su Ming looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Enough! Don't beg here. If you dare to treason, killing the Nine Clans will be light. If you keep talking, don't blame me for being rude."

Hearing Su Ming's words, everyone was startled and dared not speak again.
