"Since I don't ask you to mention it now, then don't mention it. I didn't see you so enthusiastic during the diagnosis before, so why are you so enthusiastic now? Why don't you listen to what I say? Do you have any objections to me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice. This was a custom passed down through the ages. They had always thought that this emperor was a tyrant, but they had never expected his rage to be even worse.
"Your Majesty, that man has been dead for a long time now. There is no need to investigate further!"
The more he said this, the weirder it seemed.
This person disappeared from the long river of history. Why didn't they even give him a surname? Did they really not allow him to be mentioned, or did they have some decision behind it that didn't allow him to be mentioned?
The group of people wiped the sweat from their foreheads and stood there in a daze. It was not easy to fool the emperor. It was okay to say that the man was unconscious before, but now that there was no one to protect the Cui family, they didn't dare to say anything big to fool people.
The decree that was obeyed before was exactly the order of the Queen Mother and the Cui family. Think about it, now everyone is dead and the Cui family is destroyed. Is it possible that they still have to keep this secret?
If he doesn't keep this secret, His Majesty will definitely be furious, and he might even be sentenced to death.
Is this profitable? This is not profitable.
In the end, he had no choice but to sigh and continue to hide it.
"Your Majesty, think about this. This long history has now been forgotten by the long river of history. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about such things. If..."
"I want to hear the truth now, is it so difficult? Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then fine."
The group of imperial doctors thought that the matter was over and immediately kowtowed to apologize. Before they could get up and leave, Zhao Xin continued with the next part of the speech, leaving them speechless.
"I think the front line really needs people to take the lead. You are quite good."
“…”
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? We are the imperial physicians. Besides, if we really go to the front line, what will you do?"
Good guy, you actually care about him now.
However, Zhao Xin just felt that this weasel had no good intentions in paying New Year's greetings to the chicken.
He didn't have the time to find out about them step by step, so he just wanted to get everything out as soon as possible and make it clearer.
It's so convoluted, always making him guess what to do.
No energy at all.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the decree issued by the Empress Dowager?"
"You are talking nonsense. I don't even know the Empress Dowager who is the Emperor. Besides, she has issued several decrees."
"Why is it that no one reads my imperial edicts these days? They all just believe in this Queen Mother. What's the difference between me and that Queen Mother? Tell me straight up."
There's no way to say it. The one who was believed in before must be the Queen Mother. With the support of Cui family, the power naturally continued to grow stronger, making people feel inferior.
Now the Cui family is in trouble. All the members of the Cui family have fallen, and now those who follow the Cui family are in trouble.
What can I say and what will I say.
If the Cui family became powerful, how could there be so many people who support the emperor? One or two of them would also support the Cui family. Who would follow such a tyrannical monarch?
Good job.
This group of people are quite good at reading people's moods and making decisions accordingly.
"I know you're really unhappy with me, but there's nothing I can do. The Cui family is completely destroyed. You imperial doctors have lost all your bargaining chips."
"Now tell me everything honestly, and I won't punish you."
"As for the rest, I'll leave it to Xiao Chenzi to say."
The little Chenzi coughed and smiled.
There was a sly smile on his face, as if he was urging them to stop and turn back immediately, lest they fail to do so.
"Your Majesty's point is, if you still harbor the affections bestowed upon you by the Empress Dowager or a certain family, things will not be so easy in the future."
"His Majesty has at least shown you grace, and this is the best way to go. If you are unwilling, then His Majesty will have no choice but to resort to some unconventional means to force you to speak."
Look, isn't this a threat from beginning to end?
This favor is as great as the sky. If you don't do anything about it, you'll be thrown into jail. There's no other way. And this is all about this so-called old relationship from beginning to end. If this old relationship can't be fulfilled...
"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"
"Didn't I mention the problem with the military advisor?"
In the distance, Zhuge Liang walked slowly into the doorway, fanning himself with a fan. He stopped at the doorway, also smiling.
"Why, Your Majesty, what do you want me to do now? You don't need to call me by someone else's tongue."
this…
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with me? Besides, please quickly explain the whole story to Mr. Zhuge. As for other matters, there is no need to say more."
"Mr. Zhuge, you don't have to tell me. The term 'Military Advisor' isn't primarily referring to you. It's probably referring to your Majesty's first confidant."
"oh."
The man waved his fan, still showing no desire to leave.
Since it wasn't him, then it must be someone else. If it was someone else, then it wouldn't be a big deal for him to sit next to them and listen or watch.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Zhao Xin waved. He stroked the material of the fan in his hand and smiled. His attitude towards them remained unchanged.
"Since this Military Advisor Zhuge is willing to listen, then let him listen. Besides, I haven't said anything bad about him behind his back, so why are you still so worried?"
That’s not the case.
Seeing that they could no longer hide it, the imperial doctors had no choice but to tell the truth directly.
"Your Majesty, this man's surname is He. As for whether he has any other names, we do not remember them. We only remember that his surname is He, and he has some connection with that famous family."
"He retired a long time ago. Besides, with so many surnames these days, it's hard to find him."
Could it be that there are so many people with the surname He in Daqin now? From what he heard, there are already three people now, and they are all retired aristocratic families.
How come it's mass-produced?
"Then why did you ask me about the Queen Mother and the Cui family? Could it be that they did something? Besides, what does it matter to you, morally or logically?"
this.
I think they won't die if they nod.
These people glanced at each other and checked their expressions, fearing that if they missed a glance, they would be dealt with directly.
Then an imperial physician discussed in a low voice.
"Alright, alright, we have to tell His Majesty this anyway. It doesn't matter if it's told sooner or later. Besides, how long can we keep it a secret? I'm sure we all have our own opinions."
It doesn’t matter whether the scale is weighed or not, but saying it is conspiracy to rebel.
If they confessed, at most they would be given a reduced sentence, but this would cost them their heads. If the emperor got angry, it would probably be more than just a matter of losing their heads.
The three clans will be implicated.
