Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 77
Kill on the spot.

The light four words made all the officials tremble with fear.

Today's morning, where can others speak?
Everyone already knew in their hearts that on the first day of the emperor's return to court, this is the beginning of his prestige.

Lifting up and down, killing chickens and monkeys.

The emperor was telling them that there would always be only one master above the imperial power.

Confronting the imperial power, confronting the emperor, the end can only be a dead end.

Everyone felt cold on their backs, and dared not say a word. If anyone was determined to be the first bird, the emperor would not mind letting him perish along with the Ouyang family.

There was a deathly silence in the hall. Ever since the order was given and Mu Xi was ordered to leave, the emperor didn't speak again, and kept silent with his chin propped up, as if he was sizing up the crowd, and also as if he was thinking alone.

Because of the excessive quietness, the atmosphere is extraordinarily terrifying. The nerves of all the officials are tense, like a fully drawn bow, feeling that the nerves may break at any time. The skin under the clothes is just Slowly and continuously, fine cold sweat broke out.

Some people even wondered, if the morning court was like this every day in the future, would they die prematurely?
In the whole hall, apart from Feng Qi, there are only two people who can keep calm, perhaps only the left and right ministers who are deeply trusted by the emperor.

It wasn't until Mu Xi left and returned, followed by a man in plain white robes, that everyone let out a long breath in their hearts.

At this time, no matter who came, as long as they could break the uneasy silence, they would sincerely thank God.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince brought you here."

After reporting respectfully, Mu Xi stepped up the jade steps again without saying a word, and stood back to his original position.

Only the second prince of the Feng clan, Feng Tianzhan, remained in the hall.

"See the emperor." Bending his knees respectfully, the man's voice sounded cold, empty, without a trace of emotion.

The second prince, Feng Tianzhan, has almost no impression in the hearts of the officials. They only know that this person's mother is the lowest among the few concubines of the Supreme Emperor, and the only prince who has no background influence from the mother's family. At that time, his attitude towards the prince was a little cold, and after Feng Qi took the throne, he was often absent from court, and no one mentioned this person.

At this time, all the officials turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a man kneeling on the brick floor of the palace, aged 23 or [-], with long dark hair tied high with a plain ribbon. Although his head was hanging down, his body was straight He was straight and straight, and his facial features were seven points like the Supreme Emperor when he was young. They were all handsome and cold, and there was no trace of humbleness in his brows and eyes due to long-term cold reception, but more unyielding.

There was no expression on his face, his eyes were cold and silent, but his whole body revealed a kind of unruly sharpness, like a sharp knife out of its sheath.

The officials were awe-inspiring, but they couldn't help feeling that although the second prince was low-key and silent, he seemed to be a man who was not easy to tame, and wondered if he would anger the emperor later?
While the officials were sizing up the second prince, Feng Qi's eyes also fell on Feng Tianzhan casually, looked at him quietly for a while, then smiled casually, "Brother Second Prince is not a small airs."

Everyone's heart shuddered, they couldn't tell if the emperor was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Feng Tianzhan, or if he had other intentions.

Apart from his status as a prince, Feng Tianzhan has no position in the court, so he is naturally not qualified to stand among the courtiers, the emperor should be clear about this...

Feng Tianzhan's eyes moved slightly, as if he was stunned by Feng Qi's words, and then he said in a very slow tone: "I..."

He only said one word, but then stopped.

The officials were puzzled, Feng Qi raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say, Brother Second Emperor?"

"..." Feng Tianzhan frowned imperceptibly, and after a long silence, he spoke again, "The guilty minister is at the emperor's disposal."

The officials were taken aback.

Then I slowly realized that the sudden pause just now was because I didn't know how to call myself?

"Criminal?" Feng Qi murmured, and the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed a deep meaning, "Since you know you are guilty, why don't you tell me, what crimes have you committed?"

Feng Tianzhan didn't hesitate any more this time, but said indifferently: "Whatever the emperor thinks the guilty minister is guilty of, the guilty minister will be guilty of whatever crime, but it is up to the emperor to deal with it."

The implication is already very clear, his status is humble, and the emperor is the emperor above him, how to deal with him is just a matter of one sentence.

Although he had no idea what crime he had committed.

"Since that's the case," Feng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "Let's punish him with forty sticks first. Mu Xi, call two people to come in, and there's no need to drag them out. It will be executed in the hall."

The calm and breezy tone stunned the officials for a moment.

How to say hit it?

What is the emperor doing here?Humiliate the second prince in front of the officials?

Although the second prince is not favored, he has kept himself safe all these years and has never done anything beyond the rules... Or did they commit something when they didn't know it?

Mu Xi didn't say a word, just obeyed the order.

Feng Tianzhan didn't say a word, he knelt silently, neither thanking him nor begging for mercy.

After Mu Xi gave the order, two people came in soon, holding a court stick as thick as a child's arm, the officials looked at it and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

My God, it's actually a guard.

Is this the rhythm of the emperor wanting to kill the second prince on the spot?
Thinking of the emperor's phrase "kill on the spot", everyone couldn't help but doubt, the emperor really wanted to kill the second prince, right?
The two imperial guards kowtowed respectfully to Feng Qi, then stood up, waiting to execute the order.

In the silence, Feng Qingshu spoke slowly, "Why does the emperor punish Tian Zhan so severely?"

yes, why?
Others wanted to know too, but they didn't have the guts to ask.

"Why?" Feng Xi raised his eyebrows amusedly, "King Yu's question is very strange. I am the Son of Heaven, and thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. Doesn't King Yu understand what this sentence means? Even if I don't For any reason, just want to punish him, what's your opinion?"

There was no concealment of the domineering and domineering, even the slightest bit of arrogance, in the light tone.

The ministers were really speechless.

I have never seen the emperor speak so...pretty much.

Which dynasty and generation of emperors did not want to leave the impression of a Mingjun in front of the world?Even if it is to eliminate dissidents, it is always necessary to find a high-sounding reason, so as not to leave a bad image of being narrow-minded and ignorant, but this emperor... even though he is arrogant, he seems so righteous.

"King Yu wants to win a reputation of gentleness and benevolence in front of the officials?" Feng Qi smiled lightly, but his smile was ironic and cold. For several years, King Yu and the Queen Mother have never paid any attention to this neglected brother? Are you only remembering brotherhood now? It’s too late.”
