Zhu Feng had a gloomy face.
He lowered his head, looked at Nan Yan for a long time, and then said: "You intercede for them, but have you ever thought about it, as an emperor, as a noble concubine, one cannot be offended."
"..."
"This time, if you spare them, in the future, your dignity will be gone!"
"..."
Nan Yan's heart trembled when he saw his stern gaze.
To be honest, I and Zhu Feng are really not too high-ranking and domineering royal family.
After all, I have been used to being bullied since I was a child, and I can understand the feeling of being bullied, but I don't have the vengeful mentality of a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law for thousands of years. Therefore, she treats others peacefully by herself.
As for Zhu Feng, it was probably because of his years of military career.
He has domineering and tough spirit.
But without arrogance.
In this world, there are not only women and villains, but too many people, if they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will complain. Once the superiors are too tolerant, they will be bullied back.
Therefore, severe punishment and strict laws are also indispensable for rulers.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said softly: "I know what the emperor means, and the emperor can severely punish them, but if I really kill them all, I'm just worried that it will be bad for the emperor."
"..."
"Please think twice, Your Majesty."
"..."
Zhu Feng frowned and looked at her for a long time.
Then he said: "Then, I will punish these people severely, and you are not allowed to speak again."
Nan Yan originally thought that Zhu Feng might not listen to him this time when he was furious, and was worried that he would really kill all those people, but he didn't expect that he would spare them anyway.
Immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng glared at her again: "Thank you? Hmph!"
Nan Yan shrank her neck.
Although she kept assuring herself that she was fine, Zhu Feng was taken aback by that moment just now. He was worried about her body and didn't dare to be too aggressive with her.
After a while, the imperial doctor decocted the medicine.
It was delivered steaming hot, but Nan Yan didn't dare to complain, and obediently drank it with her neck up.
Only then did Zhu Feng say, "Have a good rest."
After speaking, he got up and got off the gold car.
After Nan Yan was frightened just now, she was extremely nervous, and finally got Zhu Feng to promise not to kill those people. Once she relaxed, she was indeed a little sleepy.
She barely sat in it.
But after thinking about it, he opened the curtain and looked outside.
I saw Zhu Feng walking over step by step. Those hungry people were kneeling in the snow with their hands tied behind their backs, shivering from the cold.
At this moment, when he saw the emperor walking over, he was even more out of his wits.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us, Your Majesty."
"I beg the emperor to spare me."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Hearing the pleadings of these people, Zhu Feng's face still had a stern expression. If not just now, Nanyan begged hard, and even told him that he should accumulate blessings for the child in his stomach instead of killing for the child. He really wanted to kill all those people who almost hurt Nanyan!
Even though Nan Yan had already agreed to it at this moment, looking at these people, the killing intent in his heart still didn't lessen at all.
To put it bluntly—
It's been too long since he killed anyone!
Seeing that his face was livid and his eyes were bloodshot and red, Ye Zheng who was standing beside him said softly: "Your Majesty..."
This sound seemed to wake him up.
Zhu Feng suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at him.
Ye Zheng said softly: "I send these people down for the emperor."
Zhu Feng nodded.
Ye Zheng stepped forward, looked at the bewildered hungry people, and said, "Do you know what kind of crime you just committed?"
Some of them couldn't wait to kneel and take a step forward, kowtowing repeatedly.
"The emperor spare me!"
"Caomin and others have offended the emperor and the empress."
"I beg the emperor to forgive the humble life of the grassroots."
Ye Zheng coughed lightly, and then said: "You have offended the emperor, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, the imperial concubine is pregnant, and she was almost injured by you, this is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, you, all you have to do is die!"
"The emperor doesn't want it!"
These people burst into tears immediately, and kowtowed in the snow, their foreheads hit the stones under the snow, and the skin was broken after a while.
Even the snow was stained red with blood.
When these people had cried enough and begged enough, Ye Zheng said: "However, the imperial concubine and empress have a kind heart and cannot bear to kill you. The emperor also thought that there is a good life in heaven, so he spared your lives."
"..."
"but-"
Originally, they were overjoyed when they heard that their lives would be spared, but when they heard him say "but", they all turned pale with fright.
Looking at him with wide eyes.
For fear that the emperor would repent.
Ye Zheng said: "However, you have to go to Beiping to do corvée, so as to offset your crimes."
"..."
"If you don't agree, immediately - beheaded!"
When these people heard the last two words, they all trembled in fright.
On the contrary, one of the older middle-aged people seemed to be weather-beaten and more knowledgeable. He knelt on the ground, stepped forward cautiously, and said softly: "Excuse me, this official, let's go to serve in corvee, can you, Can I have something to eat?"
Ye Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "Can people live without food?"
"..."
"When a person is dead, how can he serve corvee?"
Hearing this, these people were a little ecstatic in their hearts.
Although they are in corvée, they are already half-dead. As long as they are given a steamed bun, they can do anything, so what is corvée worth
At least, they can survive!
Then, all the people kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Concubine Gui!"
These hungry people can be said to have been a blessing in disguise. Although their hands were still tied, they couldn't wait to kowtow to thank them, and even cried with their heads in their arms.
Ye Zheng was quick to do things, he quickly dispatched a group of guards and asked them to escort them to Beiping.
It can be seen that most of these hungry people are young and middle-aged and able to work.
As for women and children, let them live in the newly opened deserted villages.
It is more convenient than forcibly relocating people from other places. In this way, these people can be regarded as settled in Beiping.
Zhu Feng stood far away, watching these people ecstatically.
In my heart, there was some silence.
Although just now, I was full of killing intent, but I have to say that at this moment, seeing these people ecstatic, even crying with joy, the killing intent in my heart gradually subsided.
Even the anger is not so deep.
Could it be that he was also infected by that silly girl
When he thought of this, he looked back and saw that the curtain on the golden car was lifted quietly.
Obviously, he was secretly looking at this side.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but sighed.
Go back and teach her a lesson.
Just as she was thinking, when she turned her head, she saw a person walking in front of her and knelt down.
It's Jian Ruocheng.
