Chapter 1025 The Heavenly Family Father and Son Join Forces
The appearance of Emperor Zhaowu dispelled the rumor that he was secluded in the deep palace by the retired emperor. The sentence "Who dares to use my name to commit treason" further clarified his position.
The four great families, traitors and villains, should be executed!
The sounds of weapons being surrendered were heard again in the soldiers' formation, and some people couldn't help crying.
It's because of fear, but also because he was confused by the meaning of "serving the king".
Although wealth and honor are sought in danger, more people are incited by their masters' righteous words of "protecting the emperor and the country" and thus sacrifice their lives with passion.
Who would have thought that it would inexplicably become a weapon of treason!
The laws of the Northern Wing clearly stipulate that the system of collective punishment is abolished, but treason is excluded.
Someone slashed his neck with a knife, and blood splattered on the spot.
More people prostrated themselves on the ground to show their submission and repentance.
The four great families knew that it was over.
Guo Jindong no longer cared about his dignity. He knelt down and took a few steps forward, shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you clearly left the palace to look for us a few hours ago, and clearly stated that the Grand Emperor had detained you! It was you who asked us to come to the king's defense and help you escape. It was you..."
“Hahahahahahaha... cough cough..." Emperor Zhaowu slowly stepped onto the city wall with the support of Xiao Shuzi.
His laughter was mixed with coughs, and he was out of breath from walking all the way.
However, the civil and military officials could still hear his words very clearly, "What you said before is not consistent with what you said after! One moment you said that I was detained by the emperor, and the next moment you said that I left the palace to look for you! Are the historians all blind and deaf, or are the people of the world unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
The historian off the scene was shocked and quickly memorized the scene in his mind to deepen his impression. He wanted to count the number of torches and vowed to prove that he was not deaf or blind.
Hey! This group of traitors has brought disaster to the Northern Wing, to the Emperor and the Retired Emperor, and now they want to bring disaster to us historians!
You bastards, I will never let you get what you want! The historian straightened his official robe, and was determined to list all the things that had happened tonight.
The fear in Lin Wensong's heart reached its peak.
Treason is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan! He didn't want to rebel! He never wanted to rebel!
He was living well in Guangnan, why did he want to go to Beijing?
Their Guangnan Lin family has been prosperous for generations. Even though they are marginalized now, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if they just lie down and do nothing, they can't eat up the accumulated wealth even if they live for another eight generations!
Lin Wensong burst into tears and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise. My Lin family is loyal to the court..."
"Loyalty!" Emperor Zhaowu stood on the city wall, side by side with the emperor, overlooking the ministers. "What you Lin family calls loyalty is to bribe the imperial physician to give me drugs?"
His appearance seemed to explain all the doubts. "I have not been to court for many days because I am ill. This illness was caused by the four great families who bribed the imperial physician to prescribe medicine!"
The imperial physician who was brought in from the sidelines shouted, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was coerced by the four great families! I had no choice! I deserve to die, but my family is innocent... I didn't know that the four great families were plotting a rebellion..."
This proves that the four great families had long been planning a rebellion.
Whether they supported or opposed the "dethronement of the emperor" in recent days, all the ministers were indignant.
"The four great families have gone crazy! Traitors and traitors!"
"Be punished!"
"All nine clans must be killed!"
Qin Hongchang was originally the calmest among the four, but now he was shaking with fear.
He realized that the father and son of the royal family might have put aside their past grudges and joined forces!
His pupils were dilated, his throat tasted sweet and fishy, and he looked up to the sky with sorrow, "The Emperor did come out of the palace to look for us today! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, why do you want to accuse our four great families of treason? Our four great families have been... "
"Don't mention it for generations!" Shen Yuanshi stepped out with a look of disgust on his face. "I have been in the palace to serve the emperor since the day before yesterday. I can prove that the emperor has never left the palace. I just want to ask you, what can you use to prove that the emperor has come to look for you?"
The historian took note of it in his heart, and the Imperial Medical Bureau confirmed that Emperor Zhaowu had never left the palace.
Gui Sifang knew that he could not escape his fate, and the only way to make his death meaningful was to leave historical facts in doubt.
He asked sinisterly, "Are you sure that you have never left the palace?"
The corner of Shen Yuanshi's mouth curled up in disdain, "Of course! Every entry and exit of the palace is recorded, and the historian can check it."
The historian who was suddenly called out wiped his sweat and said: I know, I know, I don’t need you, an imperial physician, to teach me how to do my job! Really! I’m not stupid!
But there are fools who refuse to give up! Gui Sifang glared at him, "Prince Li and his wife were poisoned tonight. Didn't Envoy Shen leave the palace and enter Prince Li's mansion?"
Envoy Shen laughed loudly and said nothing more, his eyes looking at him as if he was a fool.
On the other hand, Prince Li on the tower was tired of standing. He leaned his hands on the wall and smiled with his head tilted, "Do you think I look like I'm poisoned?"
The emperor shouted in a low voice, "Stand still! You have no bones!"
Prince Li was frightened and immediately stood up straight with a serious expression. Suddenly, he heard a soft and gentle laugh from behind him. It was his underage little princess.
He turned around and glared at her.
She quietly stuck out her tongue, "Lilulu..."
Shi Anxia didn't want to look at the pair of little brats, but a trace of doting spread from the bottom of her heart, and her eyebrows gradually curved into crescents.
Prince Li and his wife were standing on the tower, how could they be poisoned? When had the Minister of Justice ever entered Prince Li's mansion?
Liang Yanbing, a female official of the Imperial Hospital, can attest to this. "Since Envoy Shen was attending to an ill patient in the palace, I was the one who brought the congratulatory gift to Prince Li's mansion. Envoy Shen has never set foot in Prince Li's mansion!"
The civil and military officials were not blind, "We have never seen the Shen Yuanshi!"
The historian made another note in his mind: All civil and military officials testified that the envoy of the Shenyuan had never left the palace and had been staying in the palace to serve Emperor Zhaowu.
The heads of the four great families all had dark and green faces, feeling that they were caught in a net that stretched heaven and earth and had nowhere to escape.
They fell into the trap set by the Tian family father and son.
The emperor wants to use this incident to wipe out the four major families in one fell swoop!
At this time, Xiao Shuzi, who had been keeping his head down, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Speak!" Emperor Zhaowu's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was extremely tired.
After receiving the order, Xiao Shuzi raised his voice and said, "I can also prove that the emperor has never left the palace."
After saying this he retreated without any further words.
Everyone knows that he was a close attendant of Emperor Zhaowu.
The attendants had the most say in whether Emperor Zhaowu left the palace.
The historian made another mental note, and the attendants confirmed that Emperor Zhaowu had never left the palace.
The heads of the four great families have already understood that there is no chance of turning the situation around.
The father and son of the Heavenly Family have joined forces! Really joined forces!
How could they be explaining all this to the ministers? They were clearly proving the guilt of the four great families in treason to the historians!
Even if unofficial history is written randomly in the future, it is impossible to use the doubts in history to reverse the verdicts of the four great families and say that they were not plotting treason but were "loyal to the king."
There is absolutely no doubt about this!
The heads of the four great families were arrested, and all their followers were brought to justice.
However, the important event is not over yet tonight, and all civil and military officials will be here to witness the change of emperor in the Northern Wing.
Emperor Zhaowu cleared his throat, his voice becoming a little hoarse, "I was murdered by the four great families, and I am seriously ill. I can no longer shoulder the responsibility of governing the country..."
