Chapter 946 Meeting the Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law (1)
The prince and Jinzhong escaped. When the leader of the imperial guards found out, he was so scared that his soul flew away. He did not hesitate to commit the crime of treason and surrendered to the prince. Now he escaped. Wouldn't he die without a burial place!
Just as he was thinking with great fear, Nangong Yi suddenly stabbed him with a sword, piercing his heart. He looked at the sword that pierced his body and fell down softly.
The position of the general who protected the country promised him by the prince was not obtained after all!
Even his life was not his!
This is the fate of greed and betrayal. He knew it, but it was too late!
When the imperial guards saw their leader being killed, they had no intention of fighting again and raised their hands to surrender.
Considering that they were all misled by the leader of the imperial guards, Emperor Jin Ming did not punish them too much. He only ordered them to be dismissed from their posts as imperial guards and expelled from the capital, and never allowed to enter the capital again.
However, those ministers who followed the prince in the rebellion were not so lucky. Led by Wuchang Marquis Jin Dapeng, the remnants of Guangling Prince, Ling'an Marquis, and Anguo Duke were all thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
The emperor ordered that these traitors be demoted to commoners, and all males over the age of 15 in the family be executed, and female relatives and those under the age of 15 be sold as slaves by the government and never redeemed!
Those ministers who stood on the wrong side were ashen-faced. As the saying goes, one wrong step will ruin your life. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret!
As for the prince, Emperor Ming of Jin wanted to kill him with his own hands. As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more severe the blame. His son, whom he loved like the apple of his eye, actually wanted to kill him repeatedly. How could he not be heartbroken?
"Ahem, pass on my order to abolish the crown prince's position as the heir to the throne, and issue an arrest warrant. No matter if he lives or dies, the, ahem, rebellious son must be captured, ahem... "
"Yes!"
The emperor's secret guards agreed and disappeared in a flash.
Seeing the emperor's agitation, Li Guoshi advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. The crown prince is plotting treason, and everyone in the world can punish him. He can't get away!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the whole world belongs to the king, and the traitors will be captured sooner or later. As for you, you have been tossed around for so long, can you still bear it? This old slave will help you go back and lie down for a while!" Zhu Zhong also carefully comforted him.
Emperor Jinming coughed twice again and said angrily: "I can't die. The rebellious son has not been executed yet. I will never die."
After that, he closed his eyes and panted for a while. After his breath was even, he put his hand on Zhu Zhong's arm, glanced at the ministers in the hall, and issued the last decree of the day.
"I was poisoned by the rebellious son and need to recuperate for a period of time. From now on, all the affairs of the court will be handled by the King of Qin. The King of Qin will make the decision on major and minor matters, and there is no need to report to me."
After that, he staggered away with the support of Li Guoshi and Zhu Zhong.
What the emperor's last decree meant was well known to all the civil and military ministers in the court. The situation in the court was clear. Who will be the prince and who will be the future emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom in the future? Even a blind man can see it!
The King of Qin stood in the court, glanced at the blood-stained hall, and said loudly: "This king has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Today, the king will reward according to merit. Today, everyone is tired, so please leave for now!"
"Yes, I obey your order, I will leave!"
All the officials left respectfully, with a humble and respectful attitude.
Nangong Yi left the hall and hurriedly called Zhuifeng beside him: "Quick, go to Zhuangzi and bring the princess back to this king."
Zhuifeng hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master, don't you need to track down the whereabouts of the deposed prince first?"
Nangong Shi curved his lips and smiled lightly: "It's just a jumping clown, why do I need my secret guards to chase him? Just a bird in my house can do it!"
