Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has sent someone to present a new memorial to the palace."

A young eunuch hurried into the imperial study with a thick pile of memorials in his arms, and said to Xiao Ji with a low eyebrow.

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, Lian Yi, who was standing by the side, stepped forward to receive the memorial, and felt his arms sinking. Obviously these memorials were not light, but he still worked hard to move the memorial to the imperial table for Xiao Ji to protect. Browse and review.

Xiao Ji casually picked up the topmost memorial, opened it and only glanced at it. He frowned, his face obviously showing displeasure, but he didn't react. He just closed the memorial and threw it on the imperial table.

Then he picked up another book, opened it, and frowned even more, with an even more annoyed expression, and immediately closed the memorial, not in the mood to read any more.

Lian Yi observed Xiao Ji's displeasure and anger at the side, and cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, is this another memorial to plead for Lord Zhou?"

Xiao Ji didn't say yes or no, but just let out a soft "hum" from his nostrils, and Lian Yi knew that he had guessed right, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Since Qi Wang Xiao Jie ordered Zhou Jun to be imprisoned by Zhongshu for interrogation, he found out all kinds of crimes and reported them to the imperial court, and asked for Zhou Jun's death and the official punishment to comfort the victims who died in the Huaihe River flood.

Although Xiao Ji himself was furious, he was not only angry that Zhou Jun played with power and disregarded human life, but also deeply hated Zhou Jun for instigating the brotherhood between Zhao Wang Xiao Zan and Chu Wang Xiao Heng, but he also knew that Zhou Jun was the head of the Zhou family in Runan, The relationship with other aristocratic families is intricate, and Zhou Jun has served as Zhongshu Ling for many years, and has countless party members in the court. How to deal with him is also a difficult problem.

It’s just that Xiao Ji himself hasn’t figured out how to deal with Zhou Jun, but the inside and outside of the palace are completely messed up. Zhou Jun’s younger sister, Concubine Zhou Shu, hanged herself by crying, making trouble and hanging herself. Ji, wanted Xiao Ji to forgive his brother's life, Xiao Ji was so annoying that he could only refuse to see him, Concubine Zhou Shu turned her head and begged the Queen Mother and Queen Sun, and wanted them to come forward to intercede for her brother Zhou Jun. After she and Empress Sun politely refused on the grounds that the harem was inconvenient for political affairs, Concubine Zhou Shu went on a hunger strike in her own Yufu Palace, and heard from the palace people that she hadn't eaten for many days.

King Xiaoheng of Chu and Concubine Zhou Shu are also of the same mind as mother and son. He also knows that once his uncle Zhou Jun falls, he will not be the crown prince. For this reason, he insisted on entering the palace many times, playing the emotional card, begging Xiao Ji to forgive his uncle Zhou This time, Jun made Xiao Ji even more annoyed, and directly ordered Xiao Heng to be confined in the mansion for self-reflection.

If the intercession from Concubine Zhou Shu and her son Xiao Heng was still within Xiao Ji's tolerance, then the pressure from the officials made Xiao Ji somewhat overwhelmed.

These courtiers all wrote letters to intercede for Zhou Jun, and the reasons were repeated over and over again. It was nothing more than that the collapse of the Huaihe River was a natural disaster, and it was not caused by Zhou Jun alone. Zhou Jun should not be blamed for the crime alone; It is said that Zhou Jun is not courteous to ordinary people, and he cannot be punished by a doctor; he even directly blamed this matter on conspiracy theories, saying that Zhou Jun was supporting the King of Chu, and that the King of Qi is now asking for an order to kill Zhou Jun. As for revenge...

All these kinds of things made Xiao Ji once again realize the power of the family's group counterattack. Now he intends to kill Zhou Jun, but he still has to worry about the attitude of other families. He is worried that the rash execution of Zhou Jun will cause the family to renounce and cause turmoil in the court. , On the contrary, it did not end well.

However, if Xiao Ji was asked to punish Zhou Jun with a small punishment, he would be somewhat unwilling. Firstly, it would be a great shame for him, as the emperor, to be coerced by these aristocratic families; The people of the world explain.

"Lian Yi, do you know what Yu'er has been doing these past few days?" Xiao Ji asked Lian Yi abruptly.

Things started because of Xiao Jie, Xiao Ji really wanted to know how his son was going to end up.

Lian Yi's face showed embarrassment, he hesitated for a moment, and still hesitated and said: "Back to the emperor, I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi has been recruiting some humble scholars for the past few days, saying that he wants them to write some articles and publish them in "Sili The Times."

Xiao Ji's face darkened when he heard the words, and he was slightly annoyed, but what time is it now, and he is still tossing about his newspaper.

But then Xiao Ji sighed for a long time, feeling that he was also a little harsh on this son, how to deal with Zhou Jun was entirely up to him, and Xiao Jie really couldn't say much about this matter.

Just as Xiao Ji was looking at the memorial in front of him, a little eunuch was in a dilemma, but a young eunuch walked quickly into the imperial study room and announced: "Report to the emperor, the commander of the Qilin Guard envoy Zhang Chu outside the hall to ask for an audience."

"Xuan!"

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, he didn't call Zhang Chu into the palace, but Zhang Chu came uninvited, obviously he had something important to report in person. ,

Not long after, Zhang Chu hurried into the imperial study room, bowed his head and bowed: "My minister, Zhang Chu, sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Zhang Qing's family is dead. I don't know why you came to see me in the palace this time?" Xiao Ji looked at Zhang Chu and noticed that he seemed to be holding a few newspaper-like papers in his hands. Yu recruited literati to write articles for the "Sili Times", and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Zhang Chu's entry into the palace had something to do with this matter?

Zhang Chu thanked En for getting up, then raised the newspaper in his hands above his head, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's important ministers and Qilin Wei pay attention to the remarks of the government and the public and the people on Zhou Jun's case, and I dare not neglect. This is the latest issue of "Si There are several articles related to Zhou Jun's case, so I specially brought them to His Majesty for review."

Xiao Ji secretly said in his heart that it was indeed so, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Lian Yi didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried forward to take the newspaper and put it on the imperial table, and smiled in his heart, he is worthy of being the king of Qi, and it is not in vain that the emperor favors him so much, he can always act when the emperor needs him most.

Xiao Ji opened the newspaper in front of him, and was quickly attracted by the content, but his expression kept changing, from pity to shock, and then from shock to anger.

Lian Yi had never seen Xiao Jie like this before, so he couldn't help being curious, and quietly followed Xiao Ji's gaze to take a look, and suddenly realized.

This is an article written in the tone of the victims of the Huaihe River. It said that because the Huaihe River broke its embankment, the fields were flooded and the houses collapsed. Although the family survived by luck, everything in the house was washed away by the flood. He was going to starve to death. Fortunately, the imperial court sent people to rescue the disaster at this time, but I don’t know why the food relief from the imperial court was delayed. In the end, his elderly parents still starved to death, and there were many victims who had the same experience as him... At the end of the article, the author wrote angrily that the sage taught us to love the people, and if an official does not love the people, or even harms the people, he is no different from a beast.

Although Zhou Jun's name was not mentioned in a single word in the article, Zhou Jun was criticized in every line.

Xiao Ji read several related articles in a row, and he already had concerns in his heart, but he was feeling emotional:

"Such an article should be known to the world, and let them see the situation of these innocent disaster victims. Unfortunately, most of the people are illiterate and cannot understand."

But Zhang Chu said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi has hired many scholars to read newspapers to people everywhere. Now everyone in Luoyang city is pity for the disaster victims and is indignant at Zhou Jun's actions. , all appeal to the emperor to kill this person, if anyone dares to say something nice for Zhou Jun, they will all be scolded."

Xiao Ji was taken aback for a moment, then an elusive smile appeared on his face, and he said in a cold voice: "Since the people's hearts are like this, pass on the decree, and at noon tomorrow, Zhou Jun will be executed!"

Then he seemed to think of something again, and added: "Order to go on, in addition to passing on the decree to the world, let the King of Qi publish the matter in the "Sili Times"."
