The banquet went on as usual, and everything was as usual. Prince Jing was a young man and the younger brother of the Emperor of Shu. He was a man of good character, and he was not so scrupulous about what he said, but he dared to say anything.
At the banquet, under the leadership of King Jing, the officials danced wildly, making it very lively.
The Emperor of Shu was over fifty years old, and he was leaning on the dragon chair quite comfortably, while the palace maids served him and fed him grapes.
Seeing the usually serious and serious ministers acting like this, Emperor Shu smiled from ear to ear.
Different from them, everyone in the Zhou envoy shook their heads and sighed after looking at it.
Destroy it!
Swing and dance to your heart's content.
If you don’t destroy the country, who will destroy it?
Kyushu will belong to me, Dazhou, sooner or later.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
The palace was still immersed in the atmosphere of celebration, and sudden panicked screams were heard.
I saw a little eunuch staggering into the hall. Because he was too panicked, he tripped on the way and fell to the ground so hard that it hurt.
In the huge Chengqing Hall, hundreds of people stopped what they were doing at the same time, returned to their original positions, and looked at the little eunuch who broke in and shouted that something was wrong.
The little eunuch had a look of panic on his face and knelt in the center of the hall, shouting: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
Emperor Shu had returned to normal and winked at the old eunuch beside him.
The old eunuch scolded: "How unbecoming is it to be in such a hurry!"
Everyone in the Great Zhou Envoy couldn't help but roll their eyes... Why didn't the ministers dance like this just now?
Double standard dog!
The little eunuch quickly lowered his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, the great minister has led people into the palace and is on their way here! Killing many people along the way!"
kill?
The ministers trembled subconsciously.
The great priest actually killed people in the palace?
The Emperor of Shu was also frightened and asked hurriedly: "What happened? Tell me in detail."
"Your Majesty~"
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you'd better go out and see for yourself."
As soon as he said these words, a faint voice came from outside the hall.
And the sound is getting closer and clearer.
"I, the governor of Wushan, write a letter to impeach King Jing."
"My lord, I request your majesty and the princes of the court to severely punish Prince Jing and seek justice for the 23,458 lives lost in Juxian Town!"
After hearing the sound, everyone looked at each other and looked at Prince Jing, who was sitting under the Shu Emperor's throne with a slightly tipsy face.
Prince Jing still held the glass wine glass in his hand, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.
"I, the governor of Wushan, write a letter to impeach King Jing."
"My lord, please..."
Listening to the sound, the visitor has already arrived in front of Chengqing Hall.
Prince Jing was probably drunk, so he stood up staggeringly, slowly put down the cup in his hand, and bowed sideways to the Emperor of Shu: "Your Majesty, since this matter concerns my brother, please don't think of brotherhood and protect me.
"
Emperor Shu nodded, stood up immediately, and slowly walked out of the hall with the support of the old eunuch.
The ministers followed closely, but only the Zhou envoy remained indifferent.
Wei Wushuang took another sip of wine and was about to stand up and go out to join in the fun.
Lu Ximing stopped him: "What are you going to do?"
"Are you watching the excitement?"
"How can you join in the fun of other people's housework? Come back and sit down."
Wei Wushuang sat down angrily, eating the dishes one bite at a time, but looking outside from time to time, anxious.

Tread——
There were dense and chaotic footsteps in the corridor of the main hall.
Under the leadership of Emperor Shu and Prince Jing, the ministers and officials came out of the palace one after another to look at the situation outside the palace.
I saw that in the morning it was still snowing with little stars, but now it was covered with wind and snow, and it was bitingly cold. On the huge square, the Imperial Guards were densely guarding the front of the Chengqing Palace, aiming their swords and guns at the few people who broke in.
Isolated by the imperial army, several people kneeling on the ground had white snow falling on their heads and shoulders. The leader, Sheriff Yan, held the paper in both hands: "I, the Sheriff of Wushan, write a letter to impeach Prince Jing!"
Next to Governor Yan, Xun Yijian, dressed in commoner clothes and unshaven, holding a long bloody knife in one hand and a wine can in the other, was looking at the ministers in the corridor unruly.
When everyone saw his bloody sword and the dead Imperial Guards around him, their breathing stopped for a moment.
The old eunuch beside Emperor Shu bravely stepped forward and said, "Xun Yijian, you want to rebel? How dare you use a sword in the palace?"
Xun Yijian kicked his eyes, and the old eunuch's legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground.
Xun Yijian took a sip of wine, threw away the long knife in his hand, and looked at Emperor Shu:
"Your Majesty, Xun Mou has no choice but to do this..."
Emperor Shu was sobered by the cold wind outside the palace.
He looked at Xun Yijian: "Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Xun Yijian is a great worshiper of Western Shu. He is highly cultivated and has blessed Western Shu with peace for many years. The Emperor of Shu has always trusted him unconditionally.
Just today...
"If we don't do this, these people may not be able to get here." Xun Yijian took a step forward, and the forbidden troops took a step back.
Xun Yijian pointed at the people behind him and said: "Xun has protected Western Shu for many years, and I think he still has some weight in your majesty's heart. If your majesty trusts Xun, can you listen to Xun's words?"
Emperor Shu said: "I'm so polite, please say..."
Xun Yijian glanced at Sheriff Yan behind him, and Sheriff Yan nodded to express his gratitude.
Sheriff Yan knelt in the wind and snow, with his back straight, and said loudly:
"I, the governor of Wushan, submit a letter to impeach Prince Jing!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Emperor Shu's face was filled with anger. He hesitated and looked at Prince Jing beside him.
Prince Jing looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't deceive his brother.
Over the years, King Jing's little moves have been seen by Emperor Shu.
The Emperor of Shu just endured it for the sake of the future.
As long as what Prince Jing did was not too outrageous, he could forgive it, treat it as if he didn't see anything, and even protect him.
But now, the governor of a county suddenly came to Beijing to complain!
At this time, Prince Jing suddenly entered the palace for a banquet.
Emperor Shu was not a fool, so he could quickly figure out the reason.
The attitude of the officials was a bit subtle. Most of them stood back, silent and watching the situation develop. This matter had nothing to do with them. A small number of them were eager to give it a try. Prince Jing was the future Emperor of Shu. If he could help Jing
The king settled the matter, and after King Jing ascended the throne, they had hope of promotion and promotion, but they were the heroes.
Where the ministers' eyes met, they looked at the gray-haired Emperor of Shu.
In the end, the Emperor of Shu had to make the decision on this matter.
Emperor Shu raised his head and looked at the snowy sky outside, frowned slightly, looked at the people below the steps, and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, let's all go into the palace and talk..."
When everyone who went to Beijing to complain heard this, they looked at each other, and the gloom that had been on their faces for the past few days was wiped away.

Tread——
The sound of footsteps sounded in the main hall, and Magistrate Yan and several others entered the hall one after another. They felt that their shoes were covered with snow and mud, which did not match the majestic and magnificent palace.
This is not the place for country folk like them.
As a string of muddy footprints were left on the mirror-smooth floor tiles, several people entered the hall one after another and knelt in the aisle in the center of the hall under the gaze of the officials.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at them with different expressions.
The Emperor of Shu straightened his back and sat high on the dragon chair. He had already waved his hand to send away the serving maids. Prince Jing sat on the soft seat below the Emperor of Shu, not squinting his eyes.
In the corner of the palace, behind a huge column carved with auspicious cloud beasts, several officials whispered:
"Coming..."
"Is it Prince Jing who is suing the imperial court?"
"Who gave them the courage?"
"Who knows? It's a joke to outsiders..." This chapter has been completed!
