Chapter 486 Three Questions to Uncle
Minister Shao knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head and crying, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Even if you give me a hundred courages, I dare not slander the Duke of the State!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Huang quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, the Duke of the Guard has always loved you and would not do such a thing. Maybe there is some hidden secret behind it?"
Minister Shao knelt there, not daring to say a word, his body still shaking.
The little devil closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his breathing. He told himself: Stay calm, do things one by one, and never let anger dominate your reason, so as not to make big mistakes.
"You leave first and summon the Duke of Huguo to meet you."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
As soon as Minister Shao left, Jin Cheng sat down at the desk with his fists clenched tightly.
He wanted to know the truth, but he was afraid of the truth.
The more he got to know Luo Jingfeng, the more he understood how much this person loved him. Luo Jingfeng was just short-tempered, bad at speaking, and extreme in his actions, but he would still take his feelings into consideration and make many concessions for him.
This domineering uncle with great military achievements loves him.
So it can't be true.
It must be fake...
"The Lord Protector has arrived."
As soon as Luo Jingfeng came in, he saw his nephew sitting on the cold steps. He didn't even bother to greet Lian An. He quickly ran over, squatted down and asked, "Cheng'er, what's wrong with you?"
My uncle's voice was still so caring, as if he was really this man's most precious treasure.
Jin Cheng raised her head with red eyes and shouted, "Uncle."
"Uncle is here!" Luo Jingfeng quickly reached out to pull him, and said worriedly, "Hurry up, the ground is too cold, and you will get sick easily if you sit for too long."
The little devil pushed his hand away and asked in a low voice, "Those troublesome failed students are dead. It was General Xiaofeng who killed them, right?"
Luo paused in surprise and replied, "Yes."
Chu Jincheng's eyes flickered: "You gave him the order to strangle them in public, right?"
Luo Jingfeng replied again: "Yes."
Jin Cheng's voice changed a little: "Those students didn't commit any other mistakes, nor do they have any other identities. They just questioned me and insulted me, right?"
Luo Jingfeng was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
Each of Jincheng's three questions received an answer.
No one wronged Luo Jingfeng.
That's what he did.
The little devil was puzzled and sad, and asked with a sob: "Why? I have already asked someone to post the test paper, why did you kill them? Why, uncle?"
He didn't understand, so he wanted to ask for clarification.
He just wanted to know what his uncle was doing, why he could say he loved him but at the same time step on him and do things that went against his ideals.
What on earth does Luo Jingfeng think of him as the emperor? !
Luo Jingfeng looked at him deeply, lowered his voice as much as possible, and explained patiently: "Cheng'er, your method is indeed useful, but it is too soft-hearted. After this storm is over, there will be a next time. Can you guarantee that you can have such a good solution next time? You are still young, you don't know that taking the imperial examination is very different from being an emperor, and you don't understand how serious it is to be questioned and insulted as soon as you ascend the throne. Do you think it is so easy to quarrel with ordinary people? No. You are the emperor now, you have just ascended the throne. If you don't kill one person to warn the hundred and intimidate everyone now, who will obey you in the future?"
Jin Cheng's tears fell, and he said angrily and sadly: "But have you ever thought that the people will think that I say one thing and do another. It seems that I have cleared myself, but I have brutally killed those students who dared to stand up and speak out."
Luo Jingfeng said in a cold voice: "From the moment they started to stir up trouble when your foundation was unstable, these students are not worthy of being your subjects. Who has subjects who would stab the new emperor like this? They are traitors, traitors, disloyal and unrighteous."
"Then can you kill them all in public?" Jin Cheng yelled at him, "Bloody murder of the people, ruling the country with violence, how many tyrants in this world can rule the country well?"
Luo Jingfeng touched his head and said, "So my uncle let them kill people in my name. Everyone in the world knows that I, Luo Jingfeng, am arrogant and domineering, and no one will blame you. You don't have to do anything. I can be the knife in your hand, the steps under your feet, and the bow for shooting at the sun. As long as you are safe, your uncle is willing to do anything."
The little devil finally couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed his hand away fiercely, saying: "I don't want your self-motivated help! What's the point of the knife in your hand, what's the point of the sun-shooting bow? I can walk this path well by myself, and I don't need your self-righteous help! You are a cruel murderer! As long as others make a small mistake, you will kill them. That's a human life! Why do you think that only your family's lives are lives, and other people's lives are all worthless!"
Luo Jingfeng tried to reason with his nephew in a nice way, but not only was his words not appreciated, he was also violently pushed away. His already bad temper flared up immediately.
He deliberately replied in an angry tone: "Yes, you are absolutely right. Other people's lives are worthless. How can they compare with our lives? You can accept it or not. Anyway, I have already killed the person. If you have the guts, why not send a murderer like me to the Dali Temple? Do you think they dare to touch me?"
"You! You big bad guy! Big villain!" The little devil was so angry that his eyes turned red and he couldn't control himself and wanted to push him.
However, the power disparity between the two was too great.
Luo stood up in shock and said sarcastically, "Cheng'er, your uncle said that you are too weak. With your strength, you can't even leave a red mark on me."
The little devil yelled with red eyes: "Get out! I never want to see you again!"
Luo Jingfeng didn't want to provoke him any further, so he let him calm down first, and then went out to call Zong Zhao.
He failed to persuade his nephew, so he decided to let Zong Zhao go.
As a result, Zong Zhao gave him a cold look and told him that he'd better go and get a hundred military sticks and reflect on his sins. Luo Jingfeng was so angry that he almost fought with him.
"General Zong has arrived, and Madam Fu Sheng has arrived."
The little devil was feeling bad, and when he heard his parents coming, he immediately threw himself into Xu Wan's arms and cried aggrievedly, "Mom, you are finally here, please take me home, I don't want to be an emperor anymore, it's so tiring to be an emperor, I can't do anything, I have to kill this and that every day, I don't want to be an emperor anymore, I just want to be a child of the Zong family, I just want to be your child."
Xu Wan hugged him lovingly, patted his back and consoled him, "Okay, I won't be the emperor anymore. Whoever wants to be the emperor can be the emperor. Your father has told me that you are still young and it doesn't matter whether you participate in politics or not. Let's just leave it alone and let them take care of it. Mother will come to the palace every day to play with you."
The child was most emotional at this moment. Xu Wan didn't want to stimulate him, so she basically said what he said, which slowly calmed the little devil down.
The kid cried for a long time, and finally calmed down. He said to Xu Wan with a trembling voice: "Mom, do you think he did something wrong? Those people just scolded me a few times, and I should have explained it clearly. Someone slandered me for cheating in the academy before, but at most I was expelled from the academy, but it was not a capital crime. What does he think of human life?"
