Volume 1 Chapter 152 Yue Shenqiang commits suicide
Bai Qi looked at the seemingly respectful Ninth Prince, now the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Since you want to listen to my lecture, I will tell you the truth!"
"You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you're already thinking about running!"
"Even before you had fully grown your wings, you were already on guard against me!"
“You’re good!”
Bai Qi gently patted the Ninth Prince on the shoulder. A huge force was transmitted from Bai Qi's hand, and the Ninth Prince felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.
In an instant, his face changed drastically and his body knelt down involuntarily.
“Bold!”
The Minister of Rites angrily rebuked him. He stepped out of the line, pointed at Bai Qi's nose and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how dare you treat Your Majesty like this!
Bai Qi, do you know the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects?
You are committing the crime of insubordination and deceiving the emperor! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qi's face turned cold, and he turned around and slapped him.
With a snap!
The Minister of Rites flew backwards in the air and hit the butt of a horse directly. He almost lost half his life.
The whole place was dead silent.
The Ninth Prince, who was about to stand up, knelt down again, his eyes full of humiliation.
Bai Qi glanced coldly at the people in the civil service group and snorted:
"I, Bai Qi, am not Yang Wudi, nor am I Yue Shenqiang!
I have made many military achievements for the Great Zhou, but no matter whether it is the Emperor of the Great Zhou or the royal family of the Great Zhou who worship me, they will never give up their desire to destroy me!
I, Bai Qi, have said it long ago: If the monarch treats his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will treat the monarch as their own heart and soul; if the monarch treats his subjects as grass, then the subjects will treat the monarch as their enemy.
The Ninth Prince has so many thoughts before he has even firmly established his position as Emperor. It is time for him to learn a lesson.
Furthermore, as the emperor's teacher, I, Bai Qi, am qualified to teach my student!
how?
Is anyone dissatisfied? ”
Bai Qi looked at everyone coldly.
The civil officials lowered their heads one by one and dared not look Bai Qi in the eye, and never mentioned the relationship between the ruler and the subject again.
The military generals also looked unhappy. Now everyone could see that the Ninth Prince had just become the Emperor of the Great Zhou and was already thinking about taking action against Bai Qi.
This is simply disrespecting one's teacher and ancestors!
It also makes them feel that the imperial family is the most ruthless!
When the birds are all gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked. It is no more than this!
Therefore, the generals had no intention of standing up for the Ninth Prince.
The Zhou royal family's worshiper looked at Bai Qi coldly and snorted, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not dare to turn against Bai Qi.
Princess Anyang frowned and said angrily, "Brother, the reason you were able to sit on the throne was thanks to General Bai Qi! How could you turn against me so quickly?"
The Ninth Prince's face turned blue and red after hearing what his sister said. For the first time, he felt dissatisfied with his own sister!
I am now the emperor of the Great Zhou, why should I give in to Bai Qi?
Besides, as my sister, shouldn’t you stand with me to fight against these generals who are more powerful than you?
But he had a lot to say but he didn't dare to say it to her face, so he could only smile and say: "I have no such intention! General Bai Qi must have misunderstood!"
Bai Qi gently patted the Ninth Prince with the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.
The ninth prince felt the hairs on his body stand up!
It was like walking through the gates of hell.
And Bai Qi's voice slowly spread out:
"I don't care what you think of me, but as the emperor of the Great Zhou, and I, along with the people and soldiers, elected you, I must be responsible for the people and soldiers!
You can take action against me, but you must be aware of the consequences of failure!
There is no one in the world who cannot be killed by me, Bai Qi!
And you have to be a wise and benevolent ruler. If you dare to follow your father's old path, you will be the next emperor to be torn into pieces by five horses!
This is the admonition from me, the imperial teacher, to you, the emperor! ”
Every word Bai Qi said was as sharp as a knife, and he did not give the Ninth Prince any face at all.
I'm just short of saying: I really want to kill you!
The Ninth Prince's lowered eyes were filled with grief and anger, and the rage of hatred instantly filled his whole body.
He really wanted to let the royal family of the Great Zhou take action against Bai Qi right now.
But he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and soon his face showed a look of learning. He bowed to Bai Qi again and said: "I will obey the instructions of the imperial teacher!"
Then he asked cautiously: "Can I return to the palace now?"
He didn't want to stay with Bai Qi for even a second. Only when he was away from Bai Qi did he feel safe and comfortable!
Bai Qi nodded. He had said everything he needed to say and his face had been torn apart!
He and the Ninth Prince no longer had anything in common. As long as the other party could treat the people of the Great Zhou well and not provoke him, he would be happy to have some free time.
The Ninth Prince then fled for his life, and quickly returned to the palace with the eunuchs and palace maids. He didn't even look at Princess Anyang when he left.
Princess Anyang opened her red lips, wanting to say something to her younger brother, but at this moment she felt that this younger brother had become completely unrecognizable!
Does being the Son of Heaven make me a different person?
Do you really want to make yourself a loner?
Princess Anyang's eyes were filled with pain, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to push her brother into this position!
Princess Anyang was about to step forward and say a few words to Bai Qi, but at this moment, she heard the exclamation of Bai Qi's cousin:
"General Yue? General Yue! What's wrong with you?"
Bai Qi's uncle also screamed.
Only then did everyone see that Yue Shenqiang was running towards the Ministry of Justice prison like a madman, even pushing and shoving the soldiers and civilians who were blocking his way.
Many people noticed that Yue Shenqiang's eyes were bloodshot, and feeling that General Yue was so unfamiliar at the moment, they quickly made way for him.
What's going on?
Bai Qi frowned and rushed over with his men, wanting to stop Yue Shenqiang and ask about the situation.
Yang Wudi sighed in pain and shook his head at Bai Qi, signaling Bai Qi not to act rashly.
The group had no choice but to follow Yue Shenqiang into the Ministry of Justice prison.
But as soon as they entered, Bai Qi and others' faces changed drastically.
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, a row of people were lying there in a neat row, their bodies covered with white cloth, and Yue Shenqiang knelt on the ground with a plop, roaring:
"Mom! The child is unfilial!——"
Yue Shenqiang, who had never shed tears before, now had tears in his eyes and he kept kowtowing to the ground.
Bang bang bang!
Soon his forehead was cut.
Drop after drop of blood dripped down his cheeks, but Yue Shenqiang didn't notice it at all.
He turned around and looked at the other people. He kowtowed again and roared:
"Brother and sister-in-law, I, Yue Shenqiang, am sorry for you! I have caused you trouble!"
Bang bang bang!
Yue Shenqiang kowtowed madly once again.
Under the white cloth were Yue Shenqiang's elder brother and sister-in-law.
After crying for a few times, Yue Shenqiang once again looked at the second row of corpses with a painful expression.
His eyes were filled with indignation and he roared to the sky:
"Why? Why? You are just my servants, you are just my subordinates, you have no blood relationship with me, why don't they let you go!"
"It's all my fault. I've fought all my life, but I can't even protect you!"
"What's the point of this throne?"
As he said this, Yue Shenqiang tore into pieces the imperial edict that appointed him as king.
Yang Wudi walked over and grabbed Yue Shenqiang's shoulders tightly. He wanted to say something to him, but when the words came to his lips, he felt something stuck in his throat.
He was speechless and could only grab Yue Shenqiang's shoulder again, hoping that Yue Shenqiang could calm down.
But at this moment Yue Shenqiang was already laughing miserably. He suddenly took out a dagger from his body and stabbed it hard into his heart.
