Chapter 154: The Final Settlement (2)
Chapter 154: The Final Settlement (2)
Yang Shian's hair seemed to have turned white overnight, and his wrinkles became deeper. He trembled his lips and said in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother promised me that after I retire and return home, she will help my son become the Prime Minister."
Everyone knows that Yang Shian gave birth to a stupid son who can't even add one plus one. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day. His body shape is similar to Zhao Shengping. How can such a person be the prime minister?
That would probably make everyone in the world laugh, right?
Yang Shian believed this promise, and it seemed that Yang Shian's IQ was also worrying. How did he become the prime minister? Zheng Xian had to start doubting his own IQ.
Zheng Xian resisted the urge to kick Yang Shian and asked slowly, "What role did you play in this farce?"
When Yang Shian heard Zheng Xian's question, he trembled even more. After a long while, he finally uttered: "I, your humble servant, will be responsible for producing the clearance document..."
Zheng Xian was so angry that he laughed. He couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and kicked Yang Shian in the chest. Yang Shian was kicked out and crushed the people behind him. Suddenly, wailing filled the whole hall, and Yang Shian spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Wei Chang couldn't even withstand a kick from Zheng Xian, let alone Yang Shi'an who was old, frail and overly frightened.
Zheng Xian didn't want to ask any more questions. He felt that if he continued asking, he would be so angry that he would die.
It is a joke to think that the minister whom he trusts the most is colluding with foreign enemies to murder him right under his nose.
Zheng Xian held his forehead with his hand, suddenly feeling a headache, and asked calmly, "What else do you have to say?"
Lu Cheng'an suddenly stood up and rushed towards Zheng Xian, shouting as he did so: "You damned man, you have occupied the throne for decades, you should have gone to hell long ago!"
Zheng Xian just slightly turned his body, and Lu Cheng'an missed. In a flash, he saw Du Changfeng's figure behind Lu Cheng'an. Du Changfeng kicked him hard, and there was a "click" sound. Lu Cheng'an screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
Zheng Xian looked down at Lu Cheng'an, his mouth curled up with a sneer, and said, "Before I was born, your Lu family colluded with the thieves of Xihe State and adopted a baby girl from Xihe State, raising her as a legitimate daughter. And when my mother was pregnant with me, you began to poison me, and the poison was transferred to my body through the fetus, hoping that my descendants would be extinct.
You have made a very good plan. Even if Dayu Kingdom is completely wiped out, there is still a backup plan, which is to send the adopted daughter of Xihe Kingdom into the palace and make her the queen. No matter which step you take, Dayu Kingdom will definitely fall into the hands of Xihe people in the end.
Unfortunately, I am really unlucky. After the late emperor found out that my mother had died of poisoning during childbirth, he immediately massacred the harem and sent guards to watch over me day and night, without asking anyone else to do the job for him.
Not only did I grow up safely, but I also inherited the throne, and only then did the late emperor dare to withdraw his hand and leave.
The scheme you set not only did not harm me, but also prevented the Dayu Kingdom from falling into the hands of the people of Xihe. You can be said to have lost both soldiers and generals.
During the past twenty years or so that I have governed Dayu Kingdom, the country has always enjoyed good weather, peace and prosperity, and the national strength has gradually grown. That is why you have been lying low and dare not act rashly.
Humph, if I hadn't lured you into the hole, I would never know until I died how deep you hid."
Lu Cheng'an didn't expect that Zheng Xian would even find out such a secret and long-term fact that the Lu family adopted a baby girl from Xihe Kingdom decades ago.
Is this the devil? What else doesn't he know?
Only then did Lu Cheng'an feel a chill creeping from his heart to his entire body. This uncontrollable feeling of fear made him tremble uncontrollably.
Zheng Xian glanced at the ministers in the hall, smiled coldly, and said: "The Lu family is crazy about becoming the emperor, and you idiots have become the Lu family's pawns and you don't even realize it."
Zheng Xian walked up to Yang Shian and kicked him hard again. Yang Shian, who was already unconscious from the pain, was instantly awakened by the kick. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he finally fainted.
Zheng Xian gnashed his teeth and said, "Your son wants to be the prime minister. Wait until next life. Don't you see what kind of character he has?"
Then Zheng Xian put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, his face gloomy, and said: "Most of you are important officials left by the previous emperor. I have been kind to you all these years, but you are proud of your high moral character and have rebelled. You old officials often criticize me in the hall for not doing my job and not governing the country well. So today, I will clean up the mess and show you how I do my job properly."
Zheng Xian nodded to Du Changfeng, and Du Changfeng immediately understood his intention. He waved his hand, and a tall and strong man with a chopping knife suddenly walked out. Without saying a word, he raised the knife and chopped it down with a "bang". Lu Cheng'an, who was lying on the ground, was instantly blown away.
This scene was so horrifying that I covered my mouth with my hands to prevent myself from screaming. My legs started shaking and I almost fell to the ground. Luckily there was a door frame behind me, so I leaned against it and did not fall to the ground.
The ministers who had no intention of objecting were also frightened. Except for Li Jin and Gongsun Wen who were relatively calm, some of the others had already started to chatter.
As for the ministers who had rebellious intentions, some of them were so frightened that they peed their pants and fell to the ground with pale faces.
Zheng Xian covered his nose, his face full of disgust as he said, "This filthy thing has defiled this palace and brought bad luck to people. Execute it immediately."
Du Changfeng cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, as you command."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and immediately several strong men holding big knives came out. They raised their knives towards the group of ministers behind Lu Cheng'an, just like cutting vegetables. There was a round of "bang bang bang" sounds, and the hall was immediately filled with blood and heads rolled all over the ground.
I was so scared that I turned around and ran towards the door, but after a few steps, my stomach started to twitch and I couldn't hold it in any longer. I vomited and leaned against the wall until I was dizzy.
Liu Fei was holding her son's hand and looking strong, but as she watched heads rolling on the ground, she could no longer hold on. Her eyes turned black and she fainted on the ground.
The two princes of Xihe Kingdom never expected that the king of Dayu Kingdom would be even more cruel and cold-blooded than them. He even killed his own ministers without any mercy. The last bit of hope that remained in their hearts was finally shattered.
The two princes felt their crotches were wet and they actually peed!
Zheng Xian is so annoying. He is such a grown-up but he still wets his pants easily. The whole hall is filled with the smell of urine. How is he going to live in the future?
Zheng Xian really couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up with his nose pinched, turned around and walked towards the back room.
As he walked, he said, "Wushuang, Ziyan, and Li Jin, follow me to the back hall. The others can go away."
