Weighing the pros and cons, after some deliberation, Rong Changan suggested to the king: "The skills are born from the same roots, why is it too urgent to confront each other! The king might as well put the prince in prison first, and let him copy the "Book of Filial Piety" every day. If he behaves well, he can Let him out; if he behaves badly, put him in prison for the rest of his life."
This is already an amnesty for the prince, but for the prince who is already in his forties and used to a life of indulgence and lust, being in a dark prison is tantamount to a death sentence.
"Rong Chang'an, you... you are so insidious!" The prince broke away from the guards and threw himself on the soles of the king's feet, barely licking the king's toes.
"Brother Wang, don't listen to this woman. She is trying to drive us apart! Please, for the sake of the dead father and mother, don't put me in prison. You can demote me For civilians, take away all my property, as long as you don’t go to prison, you can punish me in any way!”
The one who was crying, looked like a different person from the domineering look of the past.
The king kicked the prince to the ground with a cold gleam in his eyes: "Since you don't want to go to jail, then I will put you on the guillotine!"
The prince froze: "Break... the guillotine?"
"Because of your rebellion, how many people died, do you know?" The king said excitedly, "If I let you go, how can I comfort those spirits who died in the rebellion? Your greatest crime is not the rebellion, but Drive the citizens to fight against me! What kind of hatred do the citizens have against you, and you are willing to do this? Just for this one thing, even if I kill you a hundred times, I can't get rid of the hatred!"
The prince wiped his sweat and cursed the princess: "That bitch Li Ying taught me to do this! The most poisonous woman's heart, if she didn't bewitch me, I wouldn't be where I am today. I am Instigated by her!"
Interrogating his younger brother as a criminal made him feel very uncomfortable. The king felt exhausted and sat down on the dragon chair. He gave Rong Chang'an a look and asked her to replace Prince Faluo.
"Judging whether a person is guilty or innocent is not based on whether he has the idea of harming others, but on how much harm he has done. According to your statement, although you were instigated by the princess, you did do it. issued an order to drive out the citizens, causing huge casualties to the citizens, no one can deny this."
Rong Chang'an's cold gaze made the prince tremble all over.
"However, you are the king's brother, so you can't be treated the same as other criminals in the prison." Rong Chang'an pondered for a while, and said to the king, "The prince's food and clothing in the prison are still in accordance with the Tianchi What do you think, my king?"
The king took a sip of tea and felt much more comfortable just now, but his two fingers were still pressed against his temples.
"Then do as Queen Rong said. Take the prince to prison!"
No matter how the prince pleads, the king can only see what he can't hear.
When the prince was taken away, there was suddenly a loud sound of throwing things in the imperial study.
Rong Changan turned his head and saw that it was the king who threw a stone inkstone on the ground in a fit of anger, and it fell apart.
"The concubine is scheming and vicious, I must catch her and cut her body three hundred and sixty-five times!"
In the eyes of the king, if it weren't for the princess, the prince would not have done such rebellious things.
When Cairan mentioned Li Ying, another guard came to report that he saw her in the tower at the west gate of the capital. The king was furious, and his face was purple.
"Queen Rong, you and I are going to arrest that bitch now!"
When Fajia set it up at the west gate of the capital, he saw that the archway above the city was in flames, and the houses below the city were also burned. When the rebels left, they set fire to everything they could, and the entire capital was engulfed in a sea of flames.
Li Ying stood by the female wall under the archway, looking at the smoky capital, with a faint happy smile on his face.
The king was furious, pointed at Li Ying upstairs and scolded: "You bastard, you have separated my two brothers, harbored evil intentions, and caused the country to almost suffer disaster, even if you die a thousand times, it would not be a pity! Come here! , Go up and capture the princess!"
"Yes!" The guards ran up to the top of the city with swords, bows and ropes, but the fire on the archway was too fierce and they couldn't get close to Li Ying.
Li Ying suddenly pointed at the guards and yelled sharply: "Don't come over! Whoever comes over, I'll jump off the wall!"
Below the city are burning houses, raging fire, if they fall down, they will be burned to ashes!
Li Ying did not dance, probably because she wanted to negotiate terms with the king.
But the king no longer has any feelings for her, no pity at all: "Leave her alone, the guards will go and catch her!"
Li Ying was a little surprised by the king's statement.
"Do you want me to die that much? Don't you think about our relationship for so many years in the past and let me live?"
These words were extremely humble, even Rong Changan felt very sad when he heard it.
Having an affair with the prince, and instigating the prince to drive away the citizens and rebel, and now the matter failed, but she had to forgive her, how could such a good thing happen! The king snatched the bow and arrow from the guard next to him:
"Bitch, if you don't jump, I'll shoot you to death with an arrow!"
Li Ying's heart was completely cold, and transparent tears slid down her cheeks: "Is the king really so heartless?"
"You are the one who is unfeeling first, so why blame me for being unfeeling? Try asking the people and soldiers below the city tower, if they can forgive you, I will let you go!" The king's tone was cold, obviously he already knew in his heart that the people could not forgive Such a vicious woman.
Just last night, countless wives and children were separated because of Li Ying's words!
The king didn't say anything, but when he said it, the people were excited.
"Kill that goblin!"
"Return the souls of my father and brother!"
King: "Have you heard it too? This is the voice of the people!"
Li Ying chuckled a few times, then looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, her whole body vibrated violently. Suddenly, she stopped laughing, and looked sadly at the people under the tower.
"I, Li Ying, was born in the emperor's family, how can I let you point and poke me!" Suddenly looking at the king again, "I will die by myself, how can I die under your arrows!"
Rong Changan saw a trace of determination in her eyes, and was about to reach out and shout, "Wait..."
However, only a white shadow, like a leaf, fell lightly and fell into a big red fire. The poor generation of princesses, women who once contributed to the peace of Tianchi and Dajing, fell like this.
Rong Changan clenched his hands tightly. She should have persuaded the king to let the princess survive.
Although the princess betrayed the king, after all, she had been in love with the king for many years. Seeing her jumping into the sea of fire and dying so miserably, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. The feeling of dizziness made him unable to stand up. The eunuch next to him hurriedly helped him into the car and sent him back to the palace.
Rong Chang'an ordered the soldiers to put out the fire and keep the princess's bones well contained. As for how to bury her, it will be discussed after the king is in a good mood.
In order to cut the grass and roots, the king ordered to hunt down Li Hao and Mayu who had slipped through the net.
But it is said that Ma Yu escaped from the capital under the protection of four guards, and fled to other countries without stopping. This night, I spent the night in a hotel, half asleep, suddenly there was the sound of horses whistling, five people woke up together, looked out the window, and were surrounded by officers and soldiers.
It turned out that Ma Yu's figure and appearance had been drawn into pictures and posted in various places. The owner of the hotel recognized Ma Yu and reported to the officers and soldiers.
The guards saw that there were thousands of officers and soldiers, how could they all escape!
"His Royal Highness, the four of us are going to distract the officers and soldiers, and you take the opportunity to escape!"
