Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the box used to store jewelry in the Zhou mansion.
The eldest boss said, "Princess, this box is big enough. The boxes we have for clothes at home are not as big as this one."
Yu Xiao: "That's for you and the Li family girl. The ones Xiao Gu and I use are bigger than this."
Boss..., does this guy understand that the things used by the royal family are different from those used by officials and ordinary people?
"One hundred boxes," Yu Xiao said, "Just one hundred boxes. That's the number you said anyway."
The boss felt bad and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I'll have to tell Jing Mo later that this was your idea," Yu Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course.
The boss Σ(°△°|||)︴, isn’t he so unlucky?
The second in command who came over to listen asked, "What about the princess's opinion?"
Yu Xiao: "All of them."
"Okay, then you tell me," the boss said immediately, "Remember to tell His Majesty Jing Mo your ideas first." In comparison, he is still the good one, right?
Jing Mo was sitting in the half-remaining study room. The wind blew a book to his feet, and Jing Mo was looking at the book.
The captain of the guards hurriedly picked up the book and presented it to Jing Mo.
Jing Mo took a look at the cover of the book. This was a book written by Lord Zhou Shangqing in the past. When Jing Mo was studying in the upper study, he also specially studied this book on state governance.
The officials standing in the yard had now recovered from their shock and were looking at Lord Zhou Shangqing with extremely complicated expressions. Many of them were Lord Zhou's disciples. Their teacher had committed regicide and was sentenced to death along with all his nine clans. So could these disciples escape?
Jing Mo put the book back on the coffee table beside him and asked everyone, "What crime do you think Zhou Bianzhou should be charged with?"
The officials were silent for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Bianzhou should be executed along with his entire clan."
Lord Zhou Shangqing closed his eyes.
Jing Mo sighed and said, "The entire clan should be executed, but Zhou Bianzhou has made contributions to the country and has trained many useful people for me. He was a teacher of my father and a close friend of my grandfather. Now it seems that I am unlucky."
"Your Majesty!" After hearing what Jing Mo said, the officials hurriedly kowtowed to Jing Mo. The emperor claimed that he had no blessings. If this was the case, the emperor himself could bear the responsibility, but the officials could not.
Lord Zhou Shangqing looked up at Jing Mo, wanting to say something, but finally kept silent. Jing Mo wanted to kill him, and even used him to win people's hearts, what could he say?
"I will execute the people in your mansion," Jing Mo looked at Lord Zhou and said, "I will let your relatives and disciples go, as a way of repaying you for your years of hard work for the country and your students all over the world. Zhou Bianzhou, do you have anything else to say to me?"
Lord Zhou Shangqing said: "Your Majesty, the influence of the Eternal Life Temple is spread throughout the six countries. It is not so easy to eradicate it."
"Yes," Jing Mo said, "The Eternal Life Temple is now like a towering tree. It seems harder to move it than to shake the sky. But someone has to wield the knife to chop down the tree, don't you think?"
Lord Zhou Shangqing remained silent.
Jing Mo waved at the captain of the guards.
The captain of the guards came up with two soldiers, dragged Lord Zhou Shangqing and was about to leave.
Lord Zhou suddenly exerted force at this time and shook off the hands of the two soldiers. He remembered what Jing Mo had just said? To execute the people in his house, he had a son outside, Zhou Qiao, who was driven out of the house by his old wife, and his grandson Zhou Yao, these two were not in the house, so Lord Zhou Shangqing looked at Jing Mo, so he still had a son and a grandson who could live?
Jing Mo sneered as he said, "You have six sons, five of whom are mediocre, and only one is talented. It's a pity that you believed the woman's words. If he could have entered the government earlier and been valued by me, perhaps you wouldn't have suffered the disaster today."
Lord Zhou Shangqing looked at Jing Mo for a moment and said, "That beast has been kicked out of my house."
Jing Mo nodded and said, "I know."
Lord Zhou Shangqing suddenly remembered something. Zhou Qiao had been Jing Mo's study partner for Sanyue. But because of Sanyue's affection, this man actually...
Jing Mo stood up, walked in front of Lord Zhou, half squatted down, tidied Lord Zhou's loose hair, and said to Lord Zhou in a whisper: "Zhou Qiao is talented, I want to use him, but he is too stubborn and doesn't understand the principle that there are no fish in clear water. If such a person is in a high position, he will definitely make countless enemies and his end will be death without a burial place."
Lord Zhou Shangqing stared at Jing Mo with his eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face.
"So I asked my teacher at that time," Jing Mo whispered with a smile, "My teacher said, just cut off his pride. He was expelled from his family, not tolerated by his parents and brothers, his daughter became a merchant, and now you have committed regicide and committed crimes. I have cut off Zhou Qiao's pride. The secrets of the harem, the dispute between the legitimate and illegitimate children, my Lord Shangqing, you have shown me a big drama."
"You," Lord Zhou Shangqing said in astonishment, "for Zhou Qiao, you actually..." You actually put so much thought into it?
"I didn't spend much time on it," Jing Mo said with a pleasant smile, "It's just to cut off a person's pride, how difficult can it be?"
"You don't even have to give him an official title," Lord Zhou Shangqing said.
Jing Mo said: "This is the best result."
Lord Zhou forced himself to swallow the blood that was rising up his throat.
Jing Mo stood up and said to the two soldiers, "Drag him away and take him to the execution ground with the people from Zhou's residence. Behead him immediately."
"Your Majesty," an official heard Jing Mo's order and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty's wedding is imminent. If blood is shed at this time..."
Jing Mo turned around, glanced at the official from the Ministry of Rites, and said, "I have killed countless people before, so why should I be afraid of the bloodshed in the Zhou Mansion? I don't care, and Her Royal Highness the Princess won't care either. Do you have anything else to say?"
The bride and groom have no objections, so what objections could others have?
Lord Zhou Shangqing sighed and kowtowed three times to Jingmo. No matter what the emperor's heart was, at least his lineage, Zhou Bianzhou, could still be passed down. Thinking back to when Jingmo left Zhuri for Fengtian, he issued an order to recall all his four sons who were exiled to the capital. At that time, everyone congratulated him on the wealth and prosperity of the Zhou family. Now, Lord Zhou Shangqing laughed bitterly a few times and said nothing more.
Two soldiers came forward, dragged Lord Zhou Shangqing out of the courtyard.
Some soldiers were busy moving the rubble, rescuing the young men who had fainted under the rubble, and carrying them away, preparing to send them to the execution ground to be beheaded along with the people from Zhou's mansion.
"Send these two back to the palace," Jing Mo pointed at the two monks from the Eternal Life Temple at his feet and said to the captain of the guards.
The captain of the guards waved his hand and asked eight soldiers to come forward and take away the two monks from the Eternal Life Temple.
Xiao Wei pointed at the still unconscious assassin and asked, "What about him?"
The head guard rolled his eyes at the little guard: "He is also from the Zhou Mansion, what else do you want to ask?"
Xiao Wei replied to the chief guard indifferently: "Then why are you letting people fall here?"
Chief of the Guards...
Jing Mo looked at Xiao Wei and whispered, "I took advantage of the princess this time, so you can take as much as you want from the Zhou family's treasury as I can give you as a thank you gift."
Xiao Wei (￣△￣；), why didn't you say this when my princess was here? !
