All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 22 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Although the voices of these discussions were extremely low, they were noisy at the moment, and Dong Zhuo inevitably felt a little guilty, so he heard them.

Although angry, there are many people here, and the law does not punish them, so he can only suffer these scolding and doubts.

Ling Xiao looked at Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang, almost unable to lift his head in front of the common people, and the disturbed appearance of the two satisfied him.

He came out like this, which attracted the eyes of the two of them, and made them have no time to care too much.

Let Li Dequan bring a few trustworthy people to spread the memorial.

Even more money was paid to let people in the crowd slowly guide the people. Now, the flames are getting stronger and stronger.

The memorial of the Daqi Dynasty could not be delivered to the emperor, that is to say, the courtiers had already grasped all the government affairs.

And Ling Xiao, who belongs to a puppet emperor, will spread the illusion of Yingge Yanwu.

However, now that the emperor knew that the prime minister was going to the southeast for disaster relief, he even opened up the treasury to help those refugees.

In this way, the emperor must not match the rumors.

Regarding the good image created by Dong Zhuo and these ministers over the years, he suddenly became suspicious.

Seeing these soaring loyalty, how could Ling Xiao feel unhappy?
However, he concealed the joyful smile on his face, and did not forget to say something else to add fuel to the flames.

"Chengxiang Dong and Master Huo, for the sake of the Great Qi Dynasty, they went through life and death, so I really couldn't bear it, so I came out to send them off to the southeast for disaster relief. I hope the two adults will bother you."

"I will keep it in my heart, my lord walks slowly all the way. In the palace, I will often pray for the safe return of the two lords, and I will also seriously pray for the people in the southeast of me. When the weather is good in the coming year, it must be the prime minister and Lord Huo's credit."

The appearance of Ling Xiao being so careful to please, made the people below see it for real, and believed the rumor even more.

The emperor is so eager to please the prime minister, but this prime minister has a secret hidden in him.

And at this moment, Chengxiang Dong and Mr. Huo's expressions were not good-looking. It seemed that they were just angry after being exposed.

The people below all speculated that Dong Zhuo felt bitterness in his mouth at this time, and he already suspected that the little emperor now probably did it on purpose.

Just as he was about to say something, Ling Xiao came down directly from the city wall, and Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a while.

Although he didn't want to stay here, he continued to listen to these gossips, the arrogant words that positioned him as a traitor and traitor.

However, the emperor didn't know where to go now, just thinking about it, he didn't expect the city gate to open, Ling Xiao trotted over and stopped in front of Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang's horses.

Suddenly, he cupped his hands and looked at the two adults.

"The two lords are traveling far away. It can be said that I have lost my left and right arms. I really don't want to part with the two lords. Besides, I have just sat on the throne, and now..."

With that said, Ling Xiao raised his arm, pretending to be crying.

Dong Zhuo looked at him, his eyes twitched, the little emperor knew he was fragile.

But, after he left, could this little emperor really be unable to handle anything?
It's true, the little emperor usually listens to the two of them in everything, but now, once they leave, he must be in a state of confusion.

Huo Guang had a headache, the emperor treated him so courteously, coupled with these rumors, any spit star could drown him, and he wished he could lift Ling Xiao's neck.

Damn you, you are usually in the harem, so show off your power, why are you shrinking your head today?
Let the people in the whole city watch, even if I have a thousand mouths, I still can't speak clearly.

And now, they are on the horse, looking down at the emperor, which is already rude.

Huo Guang simply got off his horse, plopped, and knelt down in front of Ling Xiao.

Although kneeling down to the little emperor made Huo Guang feel a little uncomfortable.

Even if they were in the Golden Luan Hall, they just bowed their hands. This is what the little emperor allowed them to do.

Dong Zhuo saw that Huo Guang was like this, and without hesitation, he got off his horse and knelt down neatly.

The two of them are at the forefront of the storm. If it is rumored that they have the idea of ​​replacing them, I am afraid that even if they win the world, they will not be supported by these people.

Ling Xiao had known for a long time that they would do this.

Moreover, it was the first time I received the kneeling worship of these two people, and I felt a little inexplicably happy in my heart.

However, at this time, he was pretending to be particularly frightened, and his face was pale.

Quickly squatted down and helped Huo Guang and Dong Zhuo.

His humble and cautious appearance naturally caught everyone's eyes.

"Chengxiang Dong, Mr. Huo, why are you two like this? When I sat on the throne, I gave you permission not to bow down to me. Now that I am traveling far away, I bear the responsibility on my shoulders."

"I should also thank you for your willingness to serve the country and go to the southeast for disaster relief. If you want to kneel, it should be me instead of the people in the southeast. Thank you."

Ling Xiao said with a calm look on his face.

With a smirk in his heart, without hesitation, he knelt down with a plop facing Master Huo and Chengxiang Dong who were being lifted up at this time.

"what!"

"emperor!"

There was an uproar all around.

Ling Xiao knew that as an emperor, he could not bow down to others.

However, if Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang could be put in a difficult situation, this kneeling would be worth it.

In the past, these two people raised their heads to talk to him, and even raised their chins to teach him a lesson.

Now after this kneeling, no matter who it is, seeing the emperor, he must kneel down and worship him.

The first thing Ling Xiao had to do was for them to kneel down and talk in front of him.

Let them know what is respect and what is humility!

What is the king and what is the minister!

Let those adults who are still in the capital see, even Huo Guang and Dong Zhuo will have to kneel and talk to him in the future.

This trick is called "killing chickens to warn monkeys", killing the vigor of these two adults, and at the same time, doing it for other adults to see.

Huo Guang and Dong Zhuo were terrified, what is the emperor doing?
Even if you are grateful, there is no need to be like this, right?
It's not in line with the rules, the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, wanted to help Ling Xiao up.

Ling Xiao used all his strength to let the people around him see clearly, and then he stood up.

Reluctantly seeing off the army going to the southeast, they stayed at the city gate for a long time.

Facing the north wind, the clothes were blown up, and the face was flushed. Even the common people felt much colder, but the emperor was so affectionate and righteous, watching the three armies.

It wasn't until he couldn't see it that Ling Xiao left with a sigh.

After returning, it was reported from Zichen Palace that the emperor was sent off with injuries, and now he is in poor health.

The Tai Hospital did not dare to neglect, and guarded outside the Zichen Hall almost all the time.

Immediately, in the capital, legends spread that the emperor valued love and righteousness, cared for the people, and cared for the world regardless of his health.
