The crowd was in an uproar, and several old officials felt that they had heard it wrong, and stepped forward to confirm: "Your Majesty, are you going to burn Concubine De to sacrifice to heaven?"
"Is it the concubine De who is pregnant?"
"It's hard to understand what I'm saying?" Yu Wenjie said angrily: "The concubine Hua's family has brought disaster to the country and the people, and aroused people's resentment. It is an unforgivable crime. Rao is pregnant with a dragon fetus, which is also an ominous fetus, so it is burned as a sacrifice to the heavens." , I hope that God will return me to the beam and the weather will be good!"
This result was indeed what everyone wanted, but remembering that the last time Prime Minister Hua was beheaded, he was also stolen, and everyone didn't trust the emperor much.
Don't you think of some way to change Concubine De's identity so that she can get rid of the accusations of thousands of people now
Several old officials, including Tang Yue and others, quietly looked at the emperor's expression, and saw that he seemed to be pissed off, his eyes were full of anger, and the lines of his face were tense, extremely handsome...
No, appearance is not the point, the point is that a person like the emperor who can't show his emotions and anger is finally furious now, so what did Concubine De do
When the imperial decree was handed down, Yanjing was in an uproar, and there was a lot of commotion in the palace. A group of ministers rushed to watch, and they saw Gong Yuhou Hengjian in front of the palace gate, not allowing anyone to approach.
"Concubine De is not guilty!" He said with a serious face: "If there is a natural disaster, it is on the woman's head. Isn't the emperor too ridiculous?"
Everyone gasped. They had heard that Gong Yuhou was very protective of Concubine De, but he didn't expect him to be so protective that he dared to scold the emperor directly!
It seems to be playing for real
Some didn't believe in the emperor before, but judging by this posture, everyone believed 30% more. If it wasn't true, Gong Yuhou wouldn't have to stand up and disobey the holy will.
"Master Hou." Huo Zichong came in person, cupped his hands and said, "The emperor's order must not be violated, please forgive me."
"This Marquis can't understand!" He Chang'an said angrily, "The concubine De concubine is pregnant with the emperor's own flesh and blood! Tiger poison doesn't even eat its offspring, how could he have the heart to sacrifice concubine De and the child to heaven?"
Huo Zichong sighed, then waved his hands back, and the standing soldiers rushed up to push Gong Yuhou away, and then opened the gate of the palace.
"I knew this day would come."
In the courtyard, Concubine De was dressed in a plain dress and her belly was protruding, she stood there lingeringly: "I just didn't expect the emperor to make the decree in person."
The people who went in were startled. Although she was pregnant, Concubine De's face was still clear and beautiful, her brows were full of heroism, she stood with her back straight, like a warrior who was about to die bravely.
There were no other women crying or crying, and there was no fear at all. Hua Chun's face was filled with grief. Looking at Huo Zichong, he said word by word, "He once said that even if someone really harmed the country, as long as that person is me, He didn't mind either, he never thought that a man's words would be unbelievable, what he loves is his country after all."
The tone was desolate and sad, facing the somewhat cool wind today, it made everyone feel uncomfortable.
That's right, the emperor loved Concubine De so much before, and protected her so much, but today, he still wants to sacrifice her to heaven. That's why I say it's the most ruthless emperor's family. To put it bluntly, Hua Chun is just a woman.
People who believed 30% of the time before, now believe 50% of them.
"Your Majesty!" Qing Niao and Rui Er jumped out from the side, knelt at Hua Chun's feet and wept bitterly: "You can't go! You still have an emperor's heir in your stomach!"
"He doesn't care, so why do I care?" Smiling lightly, Hua Chun looked up and looked at He Chang'an who was standing beside him with an anxious expression on his face: "Second brother, don't worry, your majesty thinks you can trade me for the world Taiping is worth it, and that's what it's worth.”
"He failed you!" He Chang'an said in a hoarse voice, "You devoted yourself to the emperor and did everything that a courtier and concubine should do, but you got this result, do you regret it?"
"Regret." Hua Chun lowered his eyes: "If there is an afterlife, I will only be a courtier, not a concubine. I am willing to let go of the emperor, and I am somewhat reluctant to let go of the common people."
The veterans present were astonished, it was just a concubine, how could people of Li people be involved
Tang Yue and Lu Sanbian both sighed, and said in a low voice: "The concubine De concubine has indeed done more things for the imperial court behind the scenes than anyone else. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the price bureau and disaster relief. It's all the empress's idea, not to mention dealing with Xixia envoys behind the scenes, and many policies that benefit the people... "
is that a lie? How can a woman do these things? The people behind shook their heads one after another, but they couldn't help being suspicious when they saw Prime Minister Tang and Lu Shangshu's expressions of grief.
it is true
Then why did they both ask the emperor to deal with Concubine De
"Everyone thinks it's the fault of the Concubine De, but I think it's worth sacrificing a woman, if it can make people's hearts and officials' hearts stable, it's worth it." Tang Yue said in a low voice: "Just don't open your eyes. "
Everyone was taken aback, and looked up at Hua Chun in a daze.
Hua Chun tidied up her dress and walked out step by step, each step was extremely firm, making the person in front involuntarily leave a way for her.
Qing Niao and Rui Er followed her closely, shedding tears all the way, but Hua Chun showed no expression at all, got into the prison car and stood with her stomach upright.
Originally, everyone was excited and wanted to execute this evildoer, but when they really saw her being detained like this, they felt a little unbearable.
My belly is still growing...
A group of courtiers walked behind the prison car, talking about everything. When the prison car entered the street, countless people stood on both sides of the street and started throwing vegetables, leaves and eggs.
What should come still has to come, what was not received when I was a prime minister, now I have to make up for it because of my status as a woman.
The egg was smashed on the forehead, it was painful and smelly, Hua Chun closed his eyes and didn't make a sound, but the courtiers behind couldn't stand it anymore, and asked the soldiers to clear the way, keeping the common people far away.
"People's hearts are really unpredictable." Qing Ling said loudly: "When my master benefited the people and benefited the people, everyone cheered. Now that he has done nothing, he will be criticized by thousands of people just because of gossip?!"
Only some people heard her voice, and they continued to smash what should be smashed, and many people even followed the prison van, threatening to see Concubine De burned to death with their own eyes today, lest the emperor use any other means.
The sky was overcast, and it was clearly spring, but the cold wind was howling. After scolding all the way, the people also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so they all stopped.
A fire had been set up on the execution ground, and everyone stood silently. A man in a dragon robe and a cloak stood in the position of the supervisor.
Qing Niao's pupils narrowed slightly, and he took a deep breath.
She has seen such a scene, and has had nightmares many times, and now it is reappearing.
"Put the evildoer Hua on the stage!"
