It is obvious that this eunuch is an expert.
It was clearly a mess outside, with the whole place in turmoil, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"Is His Majesty the Emperor here?"
"Quickly move away. Don't offend His Majesty the Emperor."
"Has His Majesty finally shown up? This time, he must give us an explanation."
Because the imperial power is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When the common people who were very close to Xuanyang Gate heard that the emperor had appeared, they retreated one after another and dared only stand a dozen meters away from the city gate to watch.
"Emperor Yanwu, have you finally appeared?"
"I'd like to see how you handle this matter."
Ye Yunge looked towards the gate with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
Finally, the solid city gate slowly opened.
A team of armored guards with murderous aura quickly arrived outside Xuanyang Gate and carefully guarded their surroundings.
Behind them, Emperor Yanwu had already gotten off the sedan chair and walked towards Xuanyang Gate step by step.
The moment he saw Emperor Yanwu's figure, Ye Yunge shouted at the top of his voice:
"Your Majesty, please help us!"
"It's so pitiful that those children died!"
Everyone was so frightened by the emperor's majesty that no one dared to say a word for a while.
But as soon as he finished speaking, an uproar broke out outside Xuanyang Gate:
"Your Majesty, please help us. The child of the Wang family is only four years old. He should not die like this."
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to severely punish this vicious woman. Our family has only one heir, but she has cut off our last bloodline."
"There are nearly two hundred skeletons here. This vicious woman has committed countless crimes. You must not let her off easily."
Hearing the voices of the people around him, Emperor Yanwu frowned slightly.
He never imagined that these people were so bold as to put forward conditions in front of him.
But when his eyes fell on the piles of bones, even though he had seen countless storms, his pupils still shrank.
“How could there be so many corpses?”
"This useless daughter is really lawless!"
At this moment, the princess, who had been hanging her head in dismay, suddenly raised her head.
When she saw the figure of Emperor Yanwu, tears of grievance instantly filled her eyes.
She struggled to stand up and staggered towards Emperor Yanwu.
"Father, please make the decision for me!"
"These bastards dared to use violence against your daughter. They clearly despise the imperial power and do not take you seriously."
"You must chop them all down!"
Seeing that she wanted to "escape", some people closer to her were about to stop her, but Ye Yunge stopped them with his hand.
"Let her go!"
"We must trust His Majesty the Emperor."
Ye Yunge said in a low voice.
The eldest princess committed such a crime, and Emperor Yanwu would have to be crazy to choose to protect her.
The princess was only eight meters away from Emperor Yanwu.
Suddenly, there were several "clang" sounds, and several guards drew their swords in an instant and stopped the princess.
"No one is allowed to approach His Majesty the Emperor."
"Those who disobey the order will be killed!"
Upon hearing this, the princess became furious:
"Are you blind? You can't even recognize me, the princess?"
"Do you believe that my father will chop you down?"
Several guards looked at each other immediately:
"Princess?"
"Look at your appearance, you are even worse than a beggar fleeing from famine?"
"You dare to call yourself a princess?"
One of the guards mocked.
"you........"
The eldest princess was immediately furious.
"Let her come over!"
At this time, Emperor Yanwu's indifferent voice came from behind.
"yes!"
The guards obeyed the order and immediately made way for the princess.
The eldest princess glared at them fiercely and staggered towards Emperor Yanwu.
But when she got closer, before she could say anything, Emperor Yanwu took out a horse whip from somewhere and whipped her hard.
With a "snap" sound, the horsewhip hit the eldest princess' body fiercely, making her scream miserably.
“Ah~”
This miserable sound silenced the noisy crowd.
"Father..."
The eldest princess looked at Emperor Yanwu, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Hmph, my father?"
"I don't have a cruel daughter like you."
Emperor Yanwu snorted coldly and whipped him with a whip.
"Pah...Shh~"
The eldest princess' arms and clothes were instantly torn by the whip.
A bloody whip mark was immediately left on the fair arm.
"Kidnapped young children, took human lives, and caused hundreds of bloody incidents!"
"How could I give birth to such a useless daughter like you?"
"Are you worthy of me and the people of this world?"
"I will beat you to death in front of countless people today."
Emperor Yanwu's tone was full of anger.
He was even more merciless, with the whip in his hand whistling as he whipped the princess' body one by one.
"Ahhh, Father, please stop hitting me. It hurts so much!"
"Wuwuwu, please, father, stop beating me. I know I am wrong."
“.......”
The intense pain caused the princess' body to convulse.
At this moment, she kept rolling on the ground, trying her best to avoid the whip of Emperor Yanwu.
However, it was all in vain, as Emperor Yanwu's whip landed accurately on her body.
Beat her until her skin was torn apart.
At this moment, outside the Xuanyang Gate, there were clearly tens of thousands of people surrounding it, but no one was making a noise.
Everyone was stunned by Emperor Yanwu's actions.
They never imagined that Emperor Yanwu, who attached so much importance to dignity and face, would whip his own daughter in public.
Moreover, he was ruthless and did not let anyone off the hook at all.
After a dozen whips, the princess had already turned into a bloody person.
Now, it seems that I have no strength to struggle anymore.
But when his whip landed on her body, she instinctively groaned.
Not far away, the second prince saw this scene, his eyes filled with pity.
Normally, he had a very good relationship with the eldest princess. When he saw her in trouble one day, he wanted to say a few good words for her.
But just on the way to Xuanyang Gate, Emperor Yanwu warned him that no matter what he did later, the Second Prince was not allowed to say anything.
Therefore, now he could only watch his own sister being beaten without saying a word.
.......
“Pah pah pah~”
Emperor Yanwu whipped the princess several times before throwing away the whip in his hand.
Thousands of people in the distance said:
"I didn't teach my daughter well, and she caused such a murder. It's all my fault."
"I will issue a criminal edict and apologize to the countless people of Dayan."
"As for these innocent children, I will order them all to be buried in the imperial mausoleum."
"I and other members of the Great Yan royal family will often worship them and commemorate the events of that day."
When Emperor Yanwu said this, the people around him were shocked:
"Oh my God, His Majesty actually wants to bury these children in the imperial mausoleum? His Majesty is so kind!"
"Yes, how can ordinary people be buried in the imperial mausoleum?"
"Your Majesty, this is a first of its kind, and I admire you."
"Your Majesty really cares about us common people. Otherwise, why would he whip the eldest princess in front of us?"
"That's right. Your Majesty did not protect your own daughter even when she made a mistake. This is truly a rare and benevolent monarch."
“........”
Emperor Yanwu's actions not only extinguished the grievances of countless people, but also made many people look at him with admiration.
The main reason is that his daily behavior is too contrary to common sense and does not conform to the behavior of an emperor.
Ye Yunge watched this scene from a distance, his eyes filled with solemnity:
"This dog emperor's methods are really extraordinary."
"Not only did he minimize the negative impact of the princess's evil deeds, but he also gained a wave of favor in front of so many people."
"But only he could whip his own daughter in public without mercy."
Thinking of this, Ye Yunge suddenly had an idea:
"No, is there a possibility that the dog emperor did this on purpose?"
"You want to save the princess' life through this self-torture trick?"
