Chapter 539: Emotions are out of control
As soon as Bolton left Danyu City and returned to the palace, he was immediately summoned by Percius.
In the main hall of the palace, except for the second prince Andre, who is still recuperating, all the high-level personnel involved in the decision-making of the Danyu City incident are here.
Perseus had already listened to the whole report, and he seemed to freeze at this moment, sitting motionless on his throne, staring straight ahead at Bolton, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.
The atmosphere around was dead silent, everyone's eyes were wide open, cold sweat kept spilling from their foreheads, and it seemed that even heavy breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
I don't know how long it took, Pertheus finally moved, he leaned forward slightly, his dark pupils spread almost to the entire iris, and his voice was so low that it was difficult to distinguish: "What did you just say?" I didn't hear you. ”
Bolton, who was kneeling on one knee, lowered his eyes and said silently: "I failed to burn the wheat stalks, nor did I plant the blood essence grass, and I gave the 360,000 tons of grain to the civilians." ”
Pertheus fell into a long silence again, and after a long moment he beckoned to Bolton: "You, you, you come up, come up, come up to me." ”
Bolton got up and walked up the steps to Perseus, and was about to say it again, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed.
"Smack!! Bolton was slapped in the face, and the huge force directly blew the flesh and skin of his cheeks, and the blood gushed out, and the whole person rolled down the steps in embarrassment.
"Do you know what you've done??!! Pertheus was so angry that his eyes turned red, he walked down the steps and grabbed Bolton by the collar, and slapped him again so that the other cheek was also covered with blood, and roared like a manic lion, "I gave you an order to plant blood essence grass at all costs, and even gave you a blank hand, you did this kind of thing for me?!" ”
Bolton endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and said, "Changing to the Blood Essence Grass in the Danyu Plain will cause a period of up to eight months of food shortage, but the food I brought with me is only a little, which is only enough for the people of Danyu City to eat for two months. If you burn the wheat stalks in the field, and there is no food for the next six months, what do you let the people do?! ”
Perseus glared angrily, "What do you ask me to do?" I ask you what to do! If you don't plant the Blood Essence Grass, when the time comes, the millions of infected people in the epidemic areas around the kingdom will get out of control, and the entire Doguland will fall into a catastrophe! ”
"A country or a city, which is more important, you have been a general for so many years, and you don't even have this ability to judge?! You only see a few people in Danyu City, and you can't see the hundreds of millions of people in the entire kingdom, can you?! ”
Bolton had been made full of evil fire in Danyu City, and he had nowhere to vent his grievances, and his temper completely exploded at this time, and he yelled back at Pertheus: "The soldiers brought out by Lao Tzu are not used to beat their own compatriots!" ”
"Those civilians were so hungry that they ate unripe ears of wheat in the fields, gnawing raw wheat stalks, many of which were children who had not yet grown up! Do you want me to ignore these people and burn them to ashes so that you are satisfied?! ”
Pertheus's arm shook, shook Bolton vigorously, and asked, "You are soft now, how can you solve the problem?" Where are you going to get all the Blood Essence Grass needed to make Purified Blood?! ”
Bolton pulled Persius's hand away and said angrily, "There are many ways! Go steal! Don't go grab it again! Didn't the Far Eastern Dynasty have a lot of blood essence grass? Embargo on us, right? Then hit! Attack the Imperial Dynasty and snatch the Blood Essence Grass! Or hit until they lift the ban! ”
Perseus was so angry that he almost turned his back on it: "I can't believe that this is actually the words of a prince?!" In the current situation of internal and external troubles, do you still want to start an invasion war? Do you want to be happy to see Dogurland die?! ”
Bolton roared, "It's better than now!" What kind of ability is it to bully civilians?! I'd rather be an invader than embarrass the people of the kingdom! Even if I die with my soldiers on the way to attack the Far East, I will not wave a butcher's knife against my compatriots! ”
Pertheus was already so angry that he shoved Bolton out and shouted, "Someone! Remove him from his rank and put him in a dungeon! Don't feed a drop of water without my orders! ”
At this moment, the imperial guards present are really difficult to behave, most of them are orthodox soldiers, even if they have not been soldiers under Bolton, they have a good impression of this general, and even more so they were recommended by Bolton himself, but now they want to detain the Seventh Prince, who has the grace of knowledge, and it is really not a good feeling in their hearts.
But there is no way, no matter what the background of the imperial guards, no matter what their personal relationships, they can only be loyal to one person in this life, and that is His Majesty, and the king's orders, whether reasonable or not, are not allowed to be disobeyed or questioned.
The nearby Imperial Guards could only whisper "offended" to Bolton, and then dragged him out.
Bolton was also a lover, and he lost his mind in a fit of rage, and directly scolded Pertheus: "Tyrant! Cold-blooded and ruthless, he abandoned his compatriots, and now he can't even listen to his son's heartfelt words! Even if Doguland dies, it will definitely die in your hands! ”
Pertheus only felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head, and he snatched the sword of one of the imperial guards with his backhand, and stabbed at Bolton in a rage: "Look for death!! ”
The ministers and the imperial guards were frightened and rushed forward.
Lan Xian and the others hurriedly grabbed Pertheus, tugged at the arm, and pressed the sword on the sword.
The imperial guards hurriedly pulled Bolton out of the range that the long sword could reach, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
Bolton's temper was as stubborn as a bull, he didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he didn't know how to measure, he kicked away the imperial guard hard, put his neck directly on Percius's sword, and scolded: "Pretend! Keep loading! You can ignore the life and death of more than 6 million people, what can I be alone in your eyes? Tyrant, kill me if you kind! Come on!!! ”
Pertheus's forehead was bruised, his eyes were as red as an angry lion, and if it weren't for the desperate pull of the minister and the imperial guard, the long sword in his hand would have pierced Bolton long ago.
Trembling with anger, Sting slapped Bolton hard, grabbed him by the collar and roared, "He's your father!" Father who brought you up from a young age!! You talk to him like that??!! ”
Before Burton could speak, he suddenly heard a "clang".
I saw the long sword in Perseus's hand fall to the ground, his hands couldn't stop trembling, his face was so pale that there was no blood, he covered his heart with a painful expression, and the whole person collapsed.
"Your Majesty?!" The ministers panicked, hurriedly supported Percius, and shouted in panic, "Go and call the doctor!! ”
If Bolton's blood was like a keg of dynamite that had been ignited just now, and now Pertheus suddenly fell ill and fell to the ground, this scene was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he was suddenly frightened and distracted, and ran forward with a crying voice: "Father? ...”
"Smack!! As soon as Bolton ran out, he was slapped to the ground by Sting.
Sting was also so nervous that cold sweat was overflowing on his forehead, but he still maintained his basic sanity, he pointed at Bolton's nose and scolded, "Get out! Don't let Your Majesty see you! Go to the dungeon and reflect, if you dare to escape without permission, I will kill you with my own hands! ”
