Shangguan Jinming, Shangguan Boshan, and Cui Tianzhi all thought they heard wrongly.
The emperor actually said that it was nothing for Cui Tianzhi to kill Shangguan Boming?
Meaning, does the emperor approve of this behavior?
Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshi were both stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say for a while.
When they came, they all expected that the emperor would not know about this matter, but they never expected that the emperor not only knew about it, but also expressed support for it.
This left both of them at a loss as they originally wanted to gain some benefits by filing a petition.
Judging from the current situation, the benefits are definitely not there.
Not only will there be no benefits, but the ensuing situation may also be very bad.
"Your Majesty, Cui Tianzhi, as the governor of Dajin City, killed a man who had made great contributions in the street without enough evidence, so let's just forget it?"
Shangguan Jinming took a step forward, looked at Jin Haoming and asked.
Although his Shangguan Jinming was a minister, Jin Haoming was the emperor.
But in terms of strength, the two are equally matched.
They are both in the Saint Yuan realm. If they really fight one on one, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
Jin Haoming did not answer Shangguan Jinming's words, but first said to Cui Tianzhi who was kneeling on the ground: "Cui Aiqing will get down first."
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be on his side, Cui Tianzhi slowly stood up with a puzzled look on his face.
"Cui Aiqing, don't worry. You are an official of the imperial court. You have the power of life and death. Killing a rebellious minister and traitor is nothing more than a small matter."
Jin Hao Mingdan said calmly.
Hearing this, Cui Tianzhi really couldn't believe his ears.
How could the emperor say such a thing and directly call Shangguan Boming a traitor and traitor?
Suddenly, Cui Tianzhi thought that the emperor might have been affected by that mysterious power, causing what he said to be insincere.
Otherwise, we would not directly say that Shangguan Boming was a traitor and traitor.
Even if the emperor wants to defend his ministers, there is no need to offend the Shangguan family face to face. There are more gentle ways. Why should he directly break up with the ancestors of the Shangguan family?
Now directly labeling Shangguan Boming as a traitor and traitor is tantamount to making it clear that he is going to attack the Shangguan family.
Isn't the emperor afraid that the Shangguan family will fight to the death?
You must know that the overall strength of the Shangguan family is first-class in the Great Jin Kingdom, only slightly weaker than the royal family.
Of course, although Cui Tianzhi guessed that the emperor was influenced by a mysterious power and talked nonsense, he was naturally not stupid enough to say it to his face at this time.
Now he can't protect himself and has completely offended the Shangguan family. It's really a wish for the emperor to be on his side.
"Thank you, Lord Long!"
Cui Tianzhi luggage said.
On the other side, Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan were so angry that they almost broke their teeth when they heard Jin Haoming's words.
A member of his family who had made great military exploits for the imperial court was actually lightly beaten by the emperor as a rebellious official and traitor. It was really a slap in the face of the Shangguan family.
Which is tolerable and intolerable?
Although it is said that the world of the Great Jin Kingdom belongs to Jin Haoming, he cannot bully the Shangguan family like this.
Did the Shangguan family fight for the Jin family for many years and get this result?
Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan couldn't accept it no matter what.
If there is no explanation for this matter today, then there is really only the opposite.
Of course, before that, we must first find out the emperor's attitude and see if Jin Haoming really wants to break up with the Shangguan family.
What if Jin Haoming was deliberately testing their Shangguan family?
"Your Majesty, you must also know the whole thing. Yes, it is indeed our Shangguan family who made the mistake first, but it was the junior Shangguan Rongren who was at fault, not Shangguan Boshi and Shangguan Boming."
"The two of them took the initiative to resolve the dispute after the incident. They never thought of confronting the government and the court from the beginning to the end."
"This is actually the case. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask some people who were present at the time to see if the situation at the scene is the same as what I said."
Shangguan Jinming cupped his fists and said to Jin Haoming.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Boshan also answered: "Your Majesty, both Shangguan Boshi and Shangguan Boming have made great military exploits for the Kingdom of Jin."
"Shangguan Boshi fought against the Nanzhao army in Jinpingyuan last year, and Shangguan Boming rescued the third prince from the Northern Ming Kingdom the year before last."
"After such meritorious service, in the end there was not even a fair trial, and he was about to be executed in the street?"
"If you do this, how will the major families in the Jin Kingdom view the imperial court and the government in the future?"
"Even the ignorant people will feel that this method of handling is detrimental to the national structure of the Kingdom of Jin."
After Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan finished speaking, they looked at Jin Haoming with burning eyes.
Waiting for Jin Haoming to give them a convincing answer.
Both of them were thinking that if Jin Haoming really wanted to go all the way to the dark side, they would have no choice but to do the opposite.
After all, it’s not a question of whether you can swallow it in one breath, but if there is a first time, there will be a second time.
When the time comes, Jin Haoming will use this method to gradually weaken their Shangguan family. No matter how deep the Shangguan family's heritage is, it will come to an end.
Even Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan felt that maybe the emperor had laid many secret moves to deal with their Shangguan family.
"Are you done?"
Jin Haoming glanced at the two people and said.
Hearing this, both of them felt their hearts skip a beat.
Now it was almost certain that the emperor was going to deal with them openly and completely break up with the Shangguan family.
On the side, Cui Tianzhi also had his heart in his throat at this time.
Things are really troublesome now. As the situation develops, it may affect Chi Yu. You must be careful.
Shangguan Jinming composed himself, then looked at Jin Haoming and asked: "Your Majesty, I am calling you your Majesty for the last time. I want to ask, are you really ready to kill the hero and rule the world?"
"Shangguan Jinming, please hear me clearly. It's not that I want to kill the meritorious officials, but that you and those under the Shangguan family have committed crimes against the superiors. If we don't kill them, it will be unbearable, and if we don't kill them, the country will be unstable."
Jin Haoming said decisively.
"What?"
Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan both took a breath of air.
Unexpectedly, they really didn't expect it.
The emperor actually said the word "kill" one by one. He really wanted to kill the Shangguan family and other meritorious officials.
It's messed up, it's completely messed up now.
At this time, Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan only felt deep shock and sadness in their hearts.
They really never expected that everything would develop to such an extent.
A family like Shangguan's family did not end well.
Seeing this, Jin Haoming continued: "Shangguan Jinming, don't be dissatisfied. You, the ancestor, know exactly what happened to your Shangguan family in recent years."
“There are so many things that bully men and women and bring harm to good people, it’s too many to list, and it’s not just one or two incidents?”
"The actions of your Shangguan family have already aroused public resentment. Many officials have impeached you to me, but I have taken into account your illustrious military exploits, so I have never attacked you."
"But I never thought that not only would your Shangguan family not restrain themselves, but they would go even further."
"Shangguan Jinming, you can say it yourself. Is what I said wrong?"
After Jin Haoming finished speaking, he looked at Shangguan Jinming coldly.
Of course, this is just the way Jin Haoming appears on the surface. In reality, he is really anxious at this time. A mute person cannot tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
These words were not what he really wanted to say at all, and this expression was not what he wanted to show to outsiders.
It was really because he couldn't control himself at this time and was forced to say these words.
Jin Haoming knew very well that he had completely offended the Shangguan family today.
