Xu Yushi instinctively took a few steps back, his face turned pale, he was hesitating and speechless, but Jiang Yunxu said angrily: "Everyone talks about kindness in a narrow sense, but they hold the promise of millions of people."
If your lives are a bet, these brothers should risk their lives for your hypocrisy and hypocrisy?"
After saying this, Chu Xuanzhi ordered: "The imperial censor Xu will be ordered to give fifty orders. If anyone dares to shake the morale of the army again, he will be executed immediately by talking nonsense!"
After saying these words, all the civil and military officials present were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything and took a few steps back, wishing they had never been to Yangcheng.
Now that they are here, Chu Xuazhi has no intention of letting these people go back.
And Chu Xuanzhi also specifically reminded everyone: "Before you speak, use your brain. Your family members are innocent and don't want to be involved."
None of the officials present were dignified. After hearing these words, they did not dare to move.
Even if some people are angry, they can only hold it in.
noon
Seeing that they could not escape, the people in the capital had no choice but to flee back. Jiang Zuoxiang had been paying attention to every move outside the city, and he frowned.
"Prime Minister, the outside of the city is heavily guarded and we can't get out at all. What should we do now?" Prince Qing looked at the dilapidated capital and suddenly felt a little scared.
Jiang Zuoxiang first arranged for the sick people to retreat aside, and asked some women, children, the elderly, and children to rush out of the city again. This time, Jiang Zuoxiang also followed.
After walking for more than ten miles, he saw the army approaching the border. Jiang Zuoxiang stopped within a safe area, knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Chu Xuanzhi looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Your Majesty, the plague is raging in the city. These people are all innocent. You can do something to move these people to a safe place." Jiang Zuoxiang pointed to the poor-looking people on the side, their faces were more or less different.
showing fear and uneasiness.
Jiang Zuoxiang also took off his prime minister's uniform, took off his crown, and knelt on the ground piously: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of Lingyi. You cannot ignore these people. If you continue like this, they will all die."
After saying this, countless common people also knelt down, kowtowed to Chu Xuanzhi, and shouted begging the emperor for his life.
This scene is really touching.
Chu Xuanzhi's face tightened.
"Your Majesty, these people..." The officials around him were a little moved, but when they thought of the decree just now, they immediately shut up. However, it can be seen that these people still very much hope that the court can save the people.
Chu Xuanzhi sneered: "Jiang Zuofang ignored Gu Sheng's order and insisted on leading private soldiers to stay in the capital. He deserves to die!"
"The guilty minister deserves to die!" Jiang Zuoxiang kowtowed: "As long as the emperor is willing to spare the innocent people, the guilty minister is willing to kill him."
The two confronted each other, and Jiang Zuoxiang was convinced that Chu Xuangzhi did not dare to agree easily, so he could confidently say this in front of the army.
One of the purposes was to make Chu Xunzhi lose popular support and military morale, and to be seen clearly by civil and military officials, so that they would know how ruthless Chu Xuangzhi was.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Zuoxiang's mouth.
Chu Xuanzhi raised his hand, and immediately countless guards came in pushing a large iron cage. They placed the iron cage in the woods and quickly withdrew.
"These people can enter the iron cage, and the court will not lack food and drink. As long as these people do not fall ill within ten days, I will place them properly." Chu Xuanzhi said loudly: "The court has not given up on the people in the capital, but this
The poison is so powerful that the imperial court cannot risk the lives of millions of people, so it can only aggrieve you."
Looking at these iron cages, Jiang Zuoxiang's expression changed instantly.
And he also saw countless people walking towards the iron cage.
At this time, not only Jiang Zuoxiang was speechless, but also the civil and military officials and even the soldiers were speechless. They were equally excited. The emperor was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, he was just forced to do so.
When the people entered the iron cage in groups, they would consciously lock the iron cage, and soldiers would immediately throw in dry food and water bottles.
The people, who had been hungry all day and night, went to rob them one after another.
"No need to fight for it, everyone has it," the soldiers said.
The people just want to live. If someone saves them, they can calm down.
At this time, Jiang Zuoxiang could no longer hide his hypocritical side. He struggled to get up, and he guessed by looking at the iron cages that this must be Jiang Yunxu's idea!
He gradually backed away and turned away at an extremely fast speed.
"Why is Jiang Zuoxiang gone?"
"Didn't he just ask for forgiveness? Why did he leave everyone behind?"
Soon some people guessed that Jiang Zuoxiang was deliberately trying to win sympathy and ruin Chu Xuanzhi's reputation.
