Chapter 1138: The Instigator
After the ministers bowed down and pleaded guilty, Xiong Huai snorted softly, and then slammed the bamboo slip in his hand on the Wang case.
"Bang~~~"
In the quiet hall, there was a sudden loud noise, and the hearts of the ministers suddenly trembled.
At this time, Xiong Huai saw that all the ministers did not dare to raise their heads, so he asked Yinling Jun coldly: "Yinling Jun! ”
When Yin Lingjun heard King Chu's cold tone, his heart felt cold, as if he was all frozen.
It's just that when the king of Chu asked, he had to answer, so he had to respond tremblingly: "Minister... Minister! ”
Seeing this, Xiong Huai asked in an emotionless voice: "For more than a month, do you still remember the anonymous clan who lives next to Yinling Daze." ”
Yin Lingjun was frightened, and he didn't know what to say: "Minister... Minister..."
Xiong Huai sneered: "It seems that Jun doesn't remember her anymore, too, the two of you have never met, and your Yinling Jun is the high-ranking feudal monarch of the Chu State, and that woman is just a pariah who doesn't even have a name, how can you Yinling Jun be in a hurry to that insignificant woman." ”
As soon as Yin Ling Jun heard King Chu's sarcastic words, he immediately bowed again: "Return... Back to the king, minister··· Remember! ”
"Remember!" Xiong Huai glanced at Yin Lingjun indifferently, and still said sarcastically: "Also, you should also remember that since the widow issued an edict to abolish corporal punishment twenty years ago, officials everywhere have adhered to the edict of the widow and no longer use corporal punishment other than beheading. Now, such a horrific torture has occurred in my Chu State again, and this matter has caused a sensation in the vicinity of Yinling, so Yinling Jun should indeed remember that you are the first person to use torture in the past twenty years. ”
Yin Ling Jun was terrified: "Minister... Minister··· Damn it. ”
"Hmph, damn it, you deserve to die." Xiong Huai snorted coldly, and then said to himself: "A woman who is only eighteen years old, a woman who has just been recruited by you as a married husband, a woman who has been married for three years and has been with her husband for less and more but still honors her parents at home alone, and a woman who gets up on the fourth shift to chop wood and has to go to farming after breakfast."
Such a virtuous and good woman was brutally executed because of a mere ballad "Ru Tomb". ”
"Damn it!" Yin Lingjun bowed again.
At this time, after the ministers in the palace heard the conversation between the King of Chu and the King of Yinling, they already knew what was going on.
It's just that after they knew what had happened, they all looked at Yin Lingjun with cold eyes.
Among these people, Zhao Chang is the most, and at this moment, Zhao Chang is looking at Yin Lingjun with murderous eyes, and at the same time, he is very sorry in his heart.
In the good situation, he could have taken this opportunity to expel or even kill Qu Yuan in one fell swoop, but as a result, he fell short because of just three people.
Lack of success, more than failure!
Zhao Chang hated it in his heart.
On the other side, Xiong Huai looked at the Yin Ling Jun below and continued: "Since the widows destroyed Yue, the world has been called widows and cruel, and my Chu country has been besieged by various countries one after another, with frequent wars and poor people. Therefore, the people in the country have many complaints and puzzles about the widows. In the past few years, the Thorn History, who was sent to various places to collect style, brought back countless poems complaining and complaining about the widow from all over the country.
Even, in Hanbei County, because of the heavy casualties of the strong men in Hanbei County, countless old fathers and mothers have lost their sons, countless wives have lost their husbands, and countless children have lost their fathers. So much so that there are many people in Hanbei County who complain about the widow, and there are many who resent the widow, and there are even many who curse the widow secretly.
These widows all know, but did the widows say anything? ”
Xiong Huai asked himself and replied: "The widow did not ask the people who complained and even cursed the widow, but issued an edict to announce their recuperation and recuperation, and distributed the royal fields in the country to the people.
The reason why this is so is because the widow knows that the people have really suffered all these years. ”
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai glanced at the ministers in the palace again, and said coldly: "If the widow is like your Yin Ling Jun, as long as the ministers and people below have the slightest complaint, not only will they not be appeased, but they will be punished. So ······"
Xiong Huai sneered: "So at this moment, how many of you in the palace have never complained about the widow, and how many of you can leave the palace alive." ”
As soon as the ministers heard such a serious word from the king of Chu, their hearts were all tight, especially the six monarchs and others, lest the king of Chu would not reason with them, but directly punish them, then they would die too unjustly.
So, the ministers pleaded guilty one after another: "The ministers are guilty of capital crimes." ”
Xiong Huai saw the ministers bowing their heads, took a deep breath, and said to Yin Lingjun: "Yin Xin, you have three crimes.
First, violating the edict of the widow to cultivate and live, and recruiting the people for their own selfish desires, this is abusing the people.
Second, bribing the messenger to deceive the widow is a deception.
Finally, and the greatest culpability, it is to destroy the efforts of the widows to abolish corporal punishment, and the twenty years of work have been completely ruined, which is to shake the foundation of the country. ”
After speaking, Xiong Huai asked coldly: "Yin Xin, you can plead guilty to these three charges." ”
"Minister... Minister..." As soon as Yin Lingjun heard the three felonies in the mouth of the King of Chu, almost every one of them could be killed, which made him so anxious that the flesh of his whole body jumped.
In a hurry, Yin Lingjun immediately set his eyes on Zuo Yin Zhaochang, hoping that Zhaochang would come forward with a few kind words.
Now he doesn't want to die yet.
And Zhao Chang's side, after the King of Chu announced the charges of Yin Ling Jun, Zhao Chang looked at Yin Ling Jun coldly, and at this moment he saw Yin Ling Jun casting a look for help, and immediately bowed his hand to the King of Chu and said: "King, the minister has something to say." ”
Yin Lingjun saw that Zhao Chang spoke, and his heart, which was about to reach his throat, suddenly fell down slightly.
And Xiong Huai saw Zhao Chang speak, and immediately asked expressionlessly, "Zuo Yin has something to say." ”
At this time, Zhao Chang's eyes glanced at Yinling Jun, who did not refute the charges given by the King of Chu, and knew that at this time, Yinling Jun had become a chicken used by the King of Chu to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, and how could they, the intimidated monkeys, intercede for the chickens.
Therefore, now Yin Lingjun is no longer saved. The other seventeen feudal monarchs are not, and the king has no evidence, but he can still guarantee it. Therefore, the top priority now is to let everyone get rid of the relationship with the Yin Ling King, so as not to be affected. Otherwise, if you let the king blame the matter of Yinling Jun on someone else...
Of course, there is one more important reason, that is, Yin Lingjun made such a fuss, and Zhao Chang didn't want to intercede for him at all.
Thinking about it, Zhao Chang arched his hand and said: "The king, the king of Yinling is a fish-eyed pearl, bold, abusing the people, his crimes are not forgiven, and the minister asks the king to cook and kill the king of Yinling to set an example." ”
"Zuo Yin, you..." As soon as Yin Lingjun heard Zhao Chang's words, he immediately turned his head, and then looked at Zhao Chang with frightened eyes. Zhaochang not only did not help, but also fell into the ground.
Seeing this, Yin Ling Jun's heart, which was originally slightly softened, immediately seemed to be beating a drum in his chest, as if it was about to burst out of his chest at any time.
At this time, Xiong Huai heard Zhao Chang's words, let out a long sigh, and then asked Yin Lingjun, "Yin Xin, how is it?" ”
"Minister..." Yin Lingjun opened his mouth when he heard this, was silent for a moment, and then said with a dead face: "King, the minister confesses." ”
"Is the widow asking you to confess your sins?" Xiong Huai said angrily: "The widow is telling you that my Chu State has not carried out corporal punishment for twenty consecutive years, but since you made a start, now, the ministers of the DPRK and China have immediately followed suit and demanded such a terrible punishment as cooking execution.
Confucius said: The one who started the culprit has no aftermath. Isn't that what you're talking about?
Do you think that you are cooking only three people, no, how can you cook the majesty of the widow and the bottom line of the law of my Chu country.
At this moment, you are the one who started it. ”
Zhao Chang's face darkened when he heard this.
And Yin Lingjun was shocked, and then cried bitterly: "The minister knows that he is wrong, please ask the king to condemn him, no matter what kind of punishment, the ministers are all willing." ”
