One of the officials felt a chill all over his body, not caring about gold, silver, treasures, power and status.
He didn't want any of them. When he thought about the valuables he had received, he didn't think they were so attractive. He just felt that they were killing him.
"Why are you shaking more than me?" someone next to him asked him quietly.
The Sima of Quanzhou bravely looked at His Majesty and thought to himself, of course you who confiscate the silver are not as scared as I am.
But he said: "Your Majesty's majesty is growing stronger day by day."
The military officer in charge of recording the affairs of Quanzhou was filled with sorrow: "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse that the emperor himself has come to Quanzhou."
The Sima of Quanzhou did not answer.
The most feared official at this time should be the governor of Quanzhou.
Watching His Majesty bend down and pick up the little prince, his eyes were filled with tenderness, which seemed very different from the emperor who used to be decisive and ruthless.
But the provincial governors who had come into contact with His Majesty knew that this was only directed at the young prince.
Now that the Holy Emperor has arrived in person, what doubts does he still have?
Your Majesty must have discovered what they were planning a long time ago, and now he has come here probably because he is worried about the little prince.
Thinking of his good-for-nothing child, the governor of Quanzhou burst into tears. If it weren't for his eldest son, why would he betray the emperor and seek the skin of a tiger?
His eldest son had become addicted to gambling at some point, and he even sneaked into his study without telling him and stole a lot of secrets.
By the time he found out, it was too late.
The person behind the scenes threatened his son's life and forced him to cover up the matter.
His eldest son was the only blood he had left from his wife who had passed away at an early age. How could he bear to see his son die at such a young age?
Just like that, I got on the pirate ship.
Regret? Nothing to say.
Countless people have lost their lives for this, and he has not let his wife down by surviving until now.
I had originally held onto some hope, thinking that the little prince was really traveling around.
After all, it was just wishful thinking on his part.
His Majesty was slow to call out, and amid the tense expressions of the crowd, the governor of Quanzhou raised his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
The Sima of Quanzhou suddenly looked up. It had only been a few days since he received the gold and silver, and the governor already knew about it?
At this moment, he wanted to rush over and shake the governor's arm, shouting, "Your subordinate can still be saved!"
I didn't do anything, I just accepted a small bribe, which I haven't used yet!
But with His Majesty in front, the Sima of Quanzhou could only watch helplessly, feeling sad.
It's over, everything is over, my life is in danger.
The emperor, who was leisurely arranging the clothes for the little ball, listened to the words of the Quanzhou governor without even glancing at him.
The fat kid poked his father's arm and whispered, "Father, he said he's guilty."
What children think is quiet is actually very loud.
Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting to see how His Majesty would answer.
Emperor Mingxi stopped straightening his clothes, patted his plump buttocks, and said, "I am only here to accompany Your Highness. All matters in Quanzhou are decided by Your Highness."
In other words, whether to kill or keep is just up to the little fat boy.
Everyone had different expressions. Some thought it was ridiculous. Even if the prince was a reincarnated immortal, he shouldn't have all the power to make decisions for this baby who hasn't even been weaned yet.
Your Majesty is truly...
Some people also looked happy, as they had heard that the prince was kind.
Just make the women in the family cry and the prince will soften his heart.
This made them think, after the mountain mausoleum collapsed, could they restrain the young emperor?
The little fat boy looked at Emperor Mingxi and did not refuse.
He tried hard to hold back his belly and said with a serious expression, "What crime?"
The governor of Quanzhou looked at his subordinates, each with a different expression, who seemed to be celebrating with joy (the bad guy looked like he was proud and ready to go on stage).
Even if he sighed, how could he not know what these people were thinking?
Kindness often means weakness, but are they taking it for granted?
With such a heartless father, would the little prince really let it go without distinguishing between good and evil?
Even if this is true, His Majesty must have a backup plan.
No matter how others rejoiced, the governor of Quanzhou knelt on the cold ground and took off his black hat under the gaze of the people and his subordinates.
"Your Highness, I have committed three crimes. The first is failing to discipline my children, allowing them to spy on secrets. The second is being a mere eunuch, disrespecting the Emperor. The third is oppressing the people and plotting to murder them."
After hearing these words, the officials did not react.
The people were in an uproar.
"Your Excellency is close to the people. He has loved the people since he took office and has even visited us."
"Yes, the adults have also been to our place."
"Your Majesty, Little Immortal, Lord Liu is a good official. Is he being threatened?"
There were also some other shouts: "Little fairy, you are so handsome!"
Listening to the noises coming from all directions, the Quanzhou governor smiled bitterly.
Wrong is wrong, and thousands of people disappeared under his cover.
They were all young and strong men, and he had seen many people faint from crying.
Among those people, whose only son is he? Whose husband is he?
No matter how much he does, it is to make up for his uneasy conscience.
As for the officials in Quanzhou, they all looked at Shangguan with sympathy. The governor must have been forced into this position. He was a poor man, so what connection did he have with someone who exploited his fellow villagers?
The little fat boy raised his hand slightly, and the onlookers shut their mouths.
They have made great progress and have spoken to the little prince.
"Talk about murdering the people." The little fat boy frowned.
He couldn't calm down when he thought of the old man covered in blood and his eyes shining brightly.
The governor of Quanzhou glanced at the emperor, but the emperor remained silent and just looked at the prince.
He took a deep breath and said, "In recent years, thousands of people have disappeared in Quanzhou. They were secretly sent to work in salt mines. This is all..."
The words are not finished yet.
Then there was the sound of swords flashing and someone shouted, "You dog emperor, give me your life!"
The governor of Quanzhou stood up and stood in front of the emperor and the crown prince, shouting, "Protect the emperor! Your Majesty, if I die, please send my son down to accompany me."
His tone was sad.
It happened in a flash. Emperor Mingxi threw the flying knife without even looking back. In just a moment, screams were heard.
The emperor sneered: "Waste."
The governor of Quanzhou: “…”
I was just being too sentimental.
"Get out of the way." The emperor gave him a light kick, and the governor of Quanzhou returned to his original position and knelt down.
Hundreds of assassins were captured in just half a minute, without even a chance to get close.
Emperor Mingxi narrowed his eyes and looked at the assassins.
The unconcealable power made these well-trained and fearless warriors feel terrified.
"Is this a change that happened today, or was it something that was prepared for in advance?" asked the emperor.
Did he want to assassinate him because he came, or had he been waiting to kill his son?
A strong sense of crisis surged to his head, and the leader answered without even thinking: "Today."
When the head of the family heard that the emperor had come, he decided to kill him once and for all.
The emperor nodded slightly: "Yes."
The leader could hardly hide his astonishment, because you came here to kill you, but you thought it was good.
The emperor must be crazy.
