His son covered his face and cried, "You are too rude. I don't want to say any more to you. Anyway, what I did was right!"
His father slapped him again, "Huh? You're right?"
His son continued to cry, "I was right!"
"Huh?" His father slapped him again. After a few times, his son sobbed and dared not say a word.
He finally understood that no matter what he said, his father would beat him.
The same thing continued to happen around him, and many people were discovered by their families and beaten up.
The next day.
Emperor Dewu began his morning court session. All the ministers were very nervous. When they saw that Emperor Dewu looked good, many of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the emperor must have recovered.
Those ministers who wanted to rebel forced themselves to smile, and it was over. The emperor looked as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that he took some kind of elixir to barely maintain this state?
Yes, that must be the case!
Otherwise, how could a person who was about to die be like this?
Emperor Dewu glanced around the entire palace and chuckled, "Why, are you unhappy to see me attend the morning court?"
As soon as he said this, how could they not understand? The emperor knew what they had been discussing privately recently!
A minister quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, this humble servant has absolutely no such intention!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
A group of ministers knelt down. Emperor Dewu supported his chin with one hand, his eyebrows slightly raised, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm just joking with you."
Ministers: Your joke is a joke that will make people's hearts stop beating.
Emperor Dewu looked at his ministers and said, "If you have anything to say, please stand up and report it."
The Jingzhao Yin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. Last night, I led my men to capture a group of private soldiers at a dog hole in the capital. I don't know who they belong to, but my men are already interrogating them."
Ministers:!!!
People who didn’t do this: Oh my God, who is this? How brave he is, he even dares to raise private soldiers. No, it would be fine if he just raised them, but he even dared to bring them to the capital. Isn’t this just courting death?
The person who did this: It’s over, it’s over!
They never thought that the private soldiers would be discovered and arrested...
Emperor Dewu glanced at them and said, "Those who confess will be treated leniently, those who resist will be treated severely. You should weigh the pros and cons for yourselves."
After saying this, he fell silent, lowered his eyes, turned the ring on his thumb, and waited quietly.
The ministers who had done this were filled with torment. Some could no longer bear it and stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, there might be one of my men in there. Oh no, those are not my men, they are the soldiers I helped you train!!"
"Those soldiers are presented to you by this humble servant."
The ministers standing by said: "Is this even possible? You really know how to talk!"
This made you think of it.
Emperor Dewu said, "Oh?" "For me?"
"Yes, yes, it is dedicated to you. I saw that you were too busy on weekdays and was worried that you didn't have time to train the soldiers, so I helped you train some. If you don't need it anymore, I will not do it in the future."
"It's my fault for not telling you first. It's my fault!"
Emperor Dewu chuckled, "Besides you, is there no one else?"
He kowtowed and said, "I really don't know if there are other people who share the same idea as me. I don't know!"
The others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that you were a righteous man.
"Different ideas from yours, that is, you are not trying to usurp the throne, but they are?"
Emperor Dewu's lips curled slightly, and he straightened up slightly. "Tell me, how many soldiers have you trained in total?"
Other ministers: !!! They are waiting for us here!
The minister stammered, "Three or four thousand people."
Emperor Dewu looked at the Jingzhao Yin and asked, "How many people have you captured?"
"Your Majesty, tens of thousands of people."
Jingzhao Yin looked at them and said, "My men are still arresting people. The number of people is only too many."
"Whose men are the rest of the soldiers?"
Emperor Dewu murmured, his airy tone scaring many ministers into silence. He stretched out his hand and twirled his ring, "Are you not thinking of confessing your guilt?"
After he finished speaking, no one said a word.
They don't dare to admit it now. The worst that can happen is that they go back and destroy all the evidence.
He just didn't believe it. Could it be that Jingzhao Yin already had evidence against them?
Even if those people confessed, it would be impossible for them to give them up so quickly, right?
They are gambling, gambling on those people's conscience.
Emperor Dewu raised his eyes and looked around. "Very good, Jingzhao Yin, tell me, who are those people's subordinates?"
Jingzhao Yin stepped forward and said, "Yes."
Other ministers: ! ! No way? You've already figured it out? It's only been one night!
One minister couldn't bear it any longer and took the initiative to step forward, kneeling and knelt, "Your Majesty, and your humble servants... Actually, they are not soldiers, but distant relatives of your humble servants."
Emperor Dewu asked, "Then this distant relative of yours is truly distant, with a different surname than yours. How is it that your grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather left behind so many romantic debts?"
"Your family only gives birth to boys?!"
The minister's lips twitched slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and admitted it, "Yes, yes! Our family only gives birth to boys, and those people were indeed the romantic debts caused by my grandfather and his family."
There's nothing I can do, Grandfather, please don't blame me. It's better to admit that you are a playboy than to rebel and implicate your entire clan.
Emperor Dewu: ...
hehe.
In Xier's words, with a grandson like you, the ancestors' coffins will be unable to hold down!
