Seeing Concubine Han shrugging her shoulders, crying hoarsely, and her eyes red and swollen, the emperor felt a knot in his heart, which was even more uncomfortable than his own father's death.
Paying no attention to the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground in panic, the emperor went straight to his beloved concubine.
"My beloved, what's going on? Who bullied you? Look, you're crying like this?"
The emperor was worthy of being a veteran in politics. He knew clearly that Concubine Han was in tears because his father was killed, but he still pretended not to know what happened and asked Concubine Han sadly.
"Woooo...
It was the emperor who bullied his concubine..."
Concubine Han cried and said in a hoarse voice.
"I……
How can I be willing to bully my beloved concubine? It's too late for me to love you!"
The emperor continued to play dumb.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
And it’s still Lingchi’s punishment... Wuwu... My father died so miserably... I won’t say anything about his death...
He was tortured endlessly before he died... not even a whole body..."
Having said it so clearly, the Emperor has no choice but to pretend any longer.
"My beloved, the crime Taishi Han committed is too serious.
He colluded with local officials and embezzled more than 90 million taels of silver. These crimes were enough to execute him. Moreover, he also intercepted and killed more than 400 petitioners. If he did not kill him, how could I govern the country?
?”
"Wuwu... You can't kill like this...
He is my concubine's father... Wuwu...
Can't you give him a more comfortable way to die...Can't you leave him with a whole body..."
emperor:
"..."
"Uu wu... The emperor must have listened to the prince's greedy words...
That’s why I let my father be executed by Lingchi... Wuwu... Father... you died so miserably..."
"My dear concubine, in fact, Hen'er did not mean this alone. All the ministers in the court agreed that Taishi Han Lingchi should be executed.
It is said that public opinion is hard to disobey. Although I am the emperor and the king of a country, I cannot overturn the opinions of all ministers."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...it must be the prince who started it..."
