King Jin Yu's scream was sharp and piercing, revealing madness and anger, and he no longer sounded like a normal person.
The common people and soldiers guarding the city were facing King Jin Yu directly, and they were all horrified when they saw this scene.
After receiving the imperial order, the Yulin soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, and for a long while no one dared to actually draw their guns.
King Beigui is now surrounded by the crowd. Once they take action, the people in front of them will inevitably be implicated. If the tip of the gun is stained with the blood of innocent people, there will be no end to today!
Shen Yuanbai stared at Prince Jin Yu, who had completely lost his composure, with the corners of his mouth raised coldly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Today, Prince Jin Yu finally dug his own grave!
After reading his mother's suicide note in Nanli, he talked with Yinzhu for a long time. Yinzhu did not hide anything from him, and naturally mentioned the incident of Prince Jin Yu whipping a naked palace maid.
This incident obviously touched Yinzhu's sore spot. Her voice trembled, her eyes turned red, and she unconsciously clasped her arms.
At that time, he guessed in his heart that Prince Jin Yu was probably addicted to his bad habits. Now that he has become the supreme king, no one can restrain him. Over the years, he must have become even worse!
Later he returned to the North. Although he was weak there, it was much easier to find clues after he had a clear goal.
Even so, it took him a full half month to find the flaw in Wu Geng.
Wu Geng had an adopted son named Wu Shan, who would often sneak out of the palace to dispose of corpses. His actions were indeed very secretive, but because they were too frequent, he was caught by his men.
Later, he went to the mass grave in person and saw that the body was that of a palace maid, who had been thrown away on a straw mat. When he uncovered the mat, he saw that the maid's body was in a horrible state, but it was obvious at a glance that she had been whipped.
Such crazy behavior, coupled with the fact that sometimes he would kill someone every two or three days, he couldn't help but guess that this might not just be a hobby, and Prince Jin Yu might have become a demon!
Then he traced back the movements of Prince Jin Yu based on the time when the body was dumped. After several attempts, he found that whenever Prince Jin Yu was unhappy in the court or with others, a palace maid would suffer afterwards.
He carefully sent people to consult several doctors, and the conclusions they reached were all that it was epilepsy or mania. Once such a person was stimulated, he could not control himself at all...
It was from that time that a plan to expose Prince Jin Yu's true colors in front of the world began to take shape in Shen Yuanbai's mind.
Prince Jin Yu first bullied his mother and then took human lives. A king who kills people without mercy and is unworthy of his position will eventually bring about his own destruction!
But, can we kill Prince Jin Yu here today?
impossible.
Shen Yuanbai was very clear-headed from the beginning. He did not have enough military force in his hands. What he was stirring up today was people's hearts and shaking the foundation of King Jin Yu.
As for completely destroying the Northern Kingdom, that is what the Yong Dynasty and the Qiao family should do.
Besides, those who have been watching the show in the dark...it’s time for them to show up.
Seeing that the Yulin Army was slow to act, Prince Jin Yu was so angry that he slammed the handle beside him and cursed:
"Useless! You didn't even listen to my orders. Are you going to kill all of your clan? Kill Shen Yuanbai now!"
When they heard that all nine clans were going to be executed, the faces of the Yulin soldiers changed drastically. They looked at each other, gritted their teeth and raised their guns again.
When Master Che saw this, he quickly reached out to stop it. At this moment, a majestic and loud voice sounded first:
"Stop it, my king!"
Everyone immediately looked over and saw a burly man wearing a gorgeous dragon robe that showed off his status, hurrying over accompanied by a group of guards.
When Shen Yuanbai saw the person coming, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, but he was not surprised at all.
The visitor was King Kim Sun, the younger brother of King Kim Yeong and the uncle of King Kim Yu.
In order to control his younger brother more easily, King Jin Yong did not give him any fiefdom, but kept him under his nose.
Compared to King Kim Young who had only one son and one daughter, King Kim Sun's lineage was much more prosperous, with four legitimate sons and three daughters.
Among them, King Kim Sun’s second son was the clan member who was hacked to death on the spot by King Kim Yu with a sword because of his inappropriate words at the banquet.
This King Jinshun is no simple matter. Seeing his second son die tragically, he even went up to him and slapped him hard, cursing:
"You are a naughty boy who offended the king. You deserve to die!"
This kind of ruthless character who can endure what ordinary people cannot endure is either really keeping a low profile or he has big ambitions in his heart and is willing to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
Obviously, King Jinshun is the latter.
The incident at the South City Gate caused such a big fuss that even Prince Jin Yu hurried over, but none of the clan members who were usually the most active showed up?
But just when Prince Kim Yu's background was exposed, Prince Kim Sun "arrived late" and "coincidentally" wore a dragon robe that symbolized his status.
At this time, King Jinshun had already stood between the Yulin Army and the people with great righteousness, and shouted to King Jinyu with great sorrow:
"Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country. No matter what happens, you... you must not use swords against the people!"
King Kim Yu's eyebrows twitched and his head hurt. But when he saw King Kim Sun, his rationality finally returned a little.
He slowly raised his hand and was about to order the Yulin Army to temporarily put down their guns, but King Jinshun was already shouting anxiously:
"Your Majesty, this is not possible! The late emperor always taught you to love the people like your own children. Have you forgotten? If you act today, you will lose the support of the people and the fate of the country will be in jeopardy!"
"If you continue to be so stubborn, as the emperor's uncle, for the sake of the Northern Kingdom's future generations, I have no choice but to pray to the heavens and the earth, restore the old system, and summon all the ministers to depose the emperor and establish a new one!"
King Jin Shun spoke this quickly and urgently, as if he was afraid of being interrupted. As soon as he finished speaking, a strong light burst out from his eyes!
Upon hearing this, Prince Jin Yu's eyes widened suddenly. Wu Geng hurried forward, not daring to hesitate any longer, and risked his life to grab Prince Jin Yu's mouth tightly.
"Your Majesty, please wake up! King Jinshun is coming for you!"
Wu Geng lowered his voice, and every word he spoke reached King Jin Yu's ears clearly.
Prince Jin Yu shuddered in pain. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone just now, but when the four words "depose the emperor and establish a new one" flashed through his mind, it was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, and his rationality finally gradually returned.
Okay, okay—
The emperor's uncle has been planning for many years and has made all kinds of calculations, and he is waiting here!
One by one, they all came to deal with him, all wanting his throne!
Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed in Prince Jin Yu's eyes.
Even if he has lost the support of the people, as long as he is still alive, he will hold on to the throne tightly in his hands!
"Uncle, what do you mean by that? The traitor Shen Yuanbai fabricated these slanderous words. I treated him like his own son, but he repaid me with hatred. I am so angry that I uttered these words in grief and anger!"
"I have come here in person today, and have I ever lifted a finger against the people?"
"It is strange that the emperor's uncle appeared. He kept saying that he wanted to depose the emperor and establish a new one. So I want to ask the emperor, who do you want to establish? Is it you, or your eldest son?"
