"Fang Zhonglian, you!" Ling Shi'an was furious, pointing his fingers at Fang Zhonglian, but he couldn't say a word.
"The old minister begs to see the Lord Long Live! Please allow Prince Rong to agree!" Fang Zhonglian also ignored Ling Shi'an. On the one hand, he knelt down again and kowtowed.
"I beg to see the Lord Long Live! Please allow Prince Rong to agree!" At that moment, more than 20 ministers followed Fang Zhonglian and knelt down. Said in unison.
Zhao Changrong listened to the voice and looked behind him too busy. Immediately, I was a little stunned. He was so busy that he turned around and looked at Zhong Mingzheng, obviously unexpected.
"Since Prime Minister Zuo is dissatisfied with me sitting in this position, there is nothing I can do about it." Zhong Mingzheng said slowly, paused, and looked at the guards standing on both sides of the hall with steel knives in their hands. said coldly. "Fang Zhonglian, the prime minister of the left, contradicted me in public and committed a crime of disrespect. Pull him down. Cut him off!"
"Yes. This subordinate obeys!" Immediately. Two guards rushed over, one left and one right, and dragged Fang Zhonglian down.
"Your Highness! No way!" Everyone was startled, and immediately someone knelt down to intercede for Fang Zhonglian. "The Prime Minister Zuo is the minister of the Humerus of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Lord Long Live has always respected Prime Minister Zuo. Even if Prime Minister Zuo contradicts Your Highness today, it is for the sake of the Great Zhou Society. Please be magnanimous, Your Highness. Please forgive Prime Minister Zuo!"
"I beg Your Highness to show mercy!" All the courtiers knelt down and said for a moment.
"His Highness, you all keep your mouths shut. It can be seen that you have the same thoughts as that old man surnamed Fang, and you all think that I am a vicious person who forced a confession to usurp the throne, so even though you have the imperial father's oral order, you still refuse to recognize that I am the imperial father. The identified new emperor, isn’t he?!” Zhong Mingzheng suddenly burst into anger, pointing at the ministers who were kneeling all over the hall, his eyes were scarlet and frightening, and when he spoke again, his voice was insane. "Come here! Let me drag them all out and chop them up! Don't they all sympathize with that old man surnamed Fang? Then let's all go down and be buried with him!"
"Long live God, please forgive me!" Several officials who were arrested immediately cried out, struggling one by one, and the voices they made were unbearable, "Long live God, please forgive me! I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!"
Zhong Mingzheng turned a deaf ear to it, and stood in front of the dragon chair, pinched his waist, and looked at the four ministers who were dragged out. He didn't know whether it was because of anger or excitement, his whole body trembled slightly, and his eyes became even more blood red. up.
"what!"
Following the shrill screams outside the hall, the snow-white ground was stained red with blood, all the ministers in the hall looked pale, staring blankly at the dazzling bright red outside, and then turned around one after another, Hastily kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
An Zishang could only watch with horror. He was never a kind person, but this was the first time he witnessed such a brutal killing in the Qianqing Palace. Moreover, he knew all the people who were killed. For a moment, his whole body went limp. , If he hadn't supported the ground with his hands, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.
Zhao Changrong was not much better, although he knew that Zhong Mingzheng was going to make an example of others, but seeing the battle with his own eyes, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. When he was secretly *, he saw another guard came in to drag people away , and it was Fang Kaiwen, the grandson of Fang Zhonglian, who was so busy that he knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a great joy, and now the emperor is sick and will be recuperating. It is really inappropriate to be stained with blood. Please also ask Long Live Lord to keep people!"
An Zishang was also busy and said: "What the right minister said is true, please be merciful, Lord Long Live! Keep people under my command!"
Zhong Mingzheng's killing of Fang Zhonglian was enough to frighten all the courtiers, but if Fang Kaiwen was killed again, then all the courtiers would not only be afraid again, but even more angry. Who didn't know that Fang Zhonglian died Wronged? Who doesn't know that Zhong Mingzheng is killing chickens to scare monkeys? Therefore, there must be a certain limit for such a thing. After this limit, not only will the effect not be achieved, but it will be counterproductive.
