Volume 1 Chapter 154 The Ninth Prince's Choice
"This is not a matter of impulse or not. This is what the Great Zhou royal family owes General Yue!"
Bai Qi did not listen to Princess Anyang's advice at all, but walked out of the prison.
Yang Paifeng also followed. He missed the excitement before, so he had to go and see it this time no matter what!
Bai Qi had just come out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice and immediately shouted angrily: "All soldiers, listen to my order, follow me to the imperial city!"
"promise!"
The 30,000 cavalrymen, ready to go, stood on the street in their new armor. They did not leave at all. If they wanted to leave, they would have to follow Yang Wudi back to Honghua City.
After all, these soldiers are worried about leaving Yang Wudi alone in the capital.
Anyone who saw Yue Shenqiang's miserable condition would not leave the commander-in-chief alone in the capital. If he was persecuted by the royal family of the Great Zhou, they would have no choice but to come back and collect his bodies.
With Bai Qi's order, 30,000 cavalrymen galloped on their horses and rushed directly towards the palace.
Soon, they rushed from the Ministry of Justice to the gate of the imperial palace.
When the guards at the palace gate saw such a big scene, they were so scared that their legs went weak and they dropped their weapons immediately, indicating that they had absolutely no intention of resisting.
Then someone rushed into the palace to report the current situation.
…………
In the palace.
The Ninth Prince had just ascended the throne as the new Emperor of the Great Zhou. The first thing he did was to take the chief eunuch with him to receive his father’s inheritance.
The first thing they got was the jade seal of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After getting the imperial seal, the Ninth Prince finally felt relieved and felt that he was the true emperor of the Great Zhou.
then,
The chief eunuch clapped his hands, and soon the concubines in the harem ran out.
The concubines who had given birth to princes and princesses knelt before the Ninth Emperor and performed the great ceremony of paying homage to the monarch and his subjects.
After all, no one here is the Ninth Prince's biological mother, and in terms of status, no one is greater than the Ninth Prince.
At this time, the eldest prince's biological mother stood up and said, "The late emperor is dead. We ask the emperor to let us leave the palace and reunite with our children!"
She was the oldest, about 10 years older than the ninth prince's biological mother.
Moreover, over the years, she has grown old and is not favored at all. She does not pose any threat to the Ninth Prince and Princess Anyang, and there is even a feeling that they are just sticking together for warmth.
The Ninth Prince did not have any hostility towards this concubine. After thinking about the other party's proposal, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I agree."
After all, he had just ascended the throne and had no military power, let alone the support of the aristocratic families. It would be better for him not to offend these concubines without authorization.
What’s more important is not to come into conflict with the families behind them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
These concubines bowed one after another, then left quickly, taking their gold, silver, treasures, and palace maids with them, and immediately left the palace and headed for their children's mansions and fiefdoms.
This palace can no longer accommodate them.
After these people left, the faces of the concubines who had no children changed drastically.
One concubine was so frightened that she was trembling all over. She fell to the Ninth Prince's feet and begged, "Your Majesty, please don't let us be buried alive with him! You can ask us to do anything!"
Even if it means becoming a nun! ”
These concubines all turned pale as they thought of this extremely dire consequence. As the emperor's concubine, if they failed to bear children, they would have to be buried with him!
A sinister look flashed across the Ninth Prince's eyes, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to be buried with me! My father is not qualified to have anyone buried with him!"
What a joke! His father was executed by Bai Qi and others according to the laws of the Great Zhou!
It is absolutely impossible to bury him with the rites of an emperor.
There is no such thing as burying people alive with the dead.
At this time, the eunuch next to him showed a flattering smile and reminded: "Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, so it is not suitable for the selection of concubines. Why not choose some concubines that suit your taste among these concubines..."
The Ninth Prince's heart moved, thinking that this eunuch, who had followed his father for so many years, did have quite a lot of crooked tricks!
But I have to say...this proposal is simply too tempting.
Just when he was hesitating, the guards outside rushed in.
“Bold!”
The chief eunuch roared and was about to scold the person who came.
The sword-wielding guard had no intention of caring about the eunuch, and immediately said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Bai Qi is leading his troops to block the palace gate!"
What! ?
"What does Bai Qi want to do?"
The ninth prince grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it directly to the ground. The flying porcelain pieces cut several concubines, but these concubines did not dare to cry out in pain.
After all, everyone knows that the Ninth Prince is in a very bad mood.
The guard was about to report when Bai Qi's voice came in:
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to hand over all the people in the Ministry of Punishment immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Bai Qi has made up his mind today to seek justice for General Yue no matter what.
If anyone dares to stop him, he will fight to the death with the opponent even if it means consuming all his resources and super skill points!
Seeing the miserable plight of General Yue's family, he simply couldn't remain calm.
There is only endless murderous intent in my heart!
"Damn it! Damn it! Does Bai Qi still have me, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, in his eyes?"
The Ninth Prince was so angry that he was furious. Bai Qi's behavior was simply a slap in the face.
But he had to choose to compromise. He didn't dare to confront Bai Qi head-on. Bai Qi's prestige among the people was not comparable to that of him, the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
It would take him at least 10 years of operation before he would be able to have the strength to eliminate Bai Qi.
With deep reluctance, the Ninth Prince snorted coldly, "Go to the Worship Hall!"
"Get ready!——"
The chief eunuch immediately gave a shout, and more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids accompanied the Ninth Prince to the Offering Hall.
After arriving at the Hall of Worship, the Ninth Prince respectfully bowed to the three worshippers in the Hall and said:
"Grandfather, Bai Qi now wants me to hand over the people from the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know how to make a decision. Please teach me, Grandfather!"
The third worshipper raised his eyelids and smiled.
The word "ancestor" made him very happy.
He smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor knows which side he should stand on!"
The Ninth Prince immediately replied respectfully: "Of course I stand on the side of the old ancestor! We are all members of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if we break our bones, we still have tendons!"
What he wants to do now is to build good relations with the people in the Worship Hall. As long as he can get their support, a mere Bai Qi is really nothing to him.
"Very good! What do you think we should do now?" asked the third priest.
The Ninth Prince thought for a moment, bowed once more and said, "I think that all the people in the Ministry of Punishment should be handed over to Bai Qi for disposal! It is not appropriate to turn against Bai Qi now.
As long as we wait until the tomb of immortals and gods is opened, immortals and gods will come to deal with Bai Qi! ”
He didn't want to exchange his life with Bai Qi's. He was now the emperor of the Great Zhou, and his life was extremely precious!
"Not bad, not bad, much better than your father!"
The third priest nodded repeatedly, then waved his hand and said, "Then take the person away!"
"Ancestors can't give up on us!"
Upon hearing this, the eunuchs from the Ministry of Punishment immediately cried for their parents and almost hugged the thighs of the Third Honored Official.
"roll!"
The third priest was filled with contempt, and with a wave of his sleeves, he blew these people away into the air.
