Mind Reading: The Road to Dominance of the Group’s Pet Princess

Lu Chun knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I slaughtered an entire village. No one, male, female, old or young, was left alive."

There was no emotion or anger in Emperor Shun's voice, and he asked, "I want to hear the reason."

"Your Majesty, while searching for the princess in the city, I sent someone to follow a suspicious beggar. The spies reported back that this village makes a living by kidnapping and selling children."

"At that time, I thought the seventh princess was in the village, so I led people to the village and found a total of thirty-six children, eight of whom died, and successfully rescued twenty-eight children."

"Through interrogation, I learned that the entire village, from the elderly to the children, were all accomplices in child trafficking. It was found that a group of people were still active in the city. I led the people back to the city and received the message from Wang Hu and Shiba. Only then did we successfully find the princess.”

"Your Majesty, this is a record of the kidnapped children captured from the village chief. They have sold no less than a thousand children over the years. I believe that these people are not dead enough to comfort the souls of the deceased."

Emperor Shun nodded and helped him up with one hand, affirming his actions.

"Lu Aiqing did a good job. This village has been rotten from the root. The children in the village have been influenced by their elders day and night, and their minds have been damaged. Sparing their lives will only cause them to harm more innocent people."

"When using heavy rituals, there is no need to be constrained by etiquette. Those who deserve to be killed must not be merciful. Cut the grass without uprooting it. The spring breeze will bring new growth. Lu Aiqing has meritorious service. There is nothing wrong with him."

Lu Chun kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This is also the reason why Lu Chun likes Emperor Shun. If he were another emperor, he would definitely rebuke him for killing people and have a grudge against him.

Emperor Shun not only did not reprimand him, but also praised him and protected him when officials attacked him.

Sure enough, in the morning of the second day, some officials accused Lu Chun of being inhumane and disrespectful of human life, and even massacred an entire innocent village.

He also abused his power and blocked the four city gates, causing complaints from the people.

Ren Yushi was spitting and impassioned, but Emperor Shun remained unmoved.

After the censor finished speaking, Emperor Shun said calmly: "Are you done? That's it?"

"Lu Chun's meritorious service in rescuing the Seventh Princess should be rewarded! As for what the censor said about abusing his power and disregarding human life, dear friends, please take a look at this."

Defu took down the memorial submitted by Lu Chun and circulated it to the officials.

Watson came out, "Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with Master Lu's actions. According to what I learned from the rescued children, many of them were deceived by the elderly, women and children in the village. From this, it seems that all the people in this village are The criminals who abducted and trafficked children, Mr. Lu, treated the criminals, what crime they deserved."

"The minister reconsiders."

"I'll wait for reconsideration."

"The guards at the west city gate colluded with the traitors to harm our Dasheng people. These people will be executed in three days. General Wu Yi who was involved in the case was dismissed and beheaded, and his family was exiled." Emperor Shun decided the life and death of many people with just a few words. Leave questions. "Order Lu Chen as General Anbang to clear out the child abductors and traffickers in Dasheng. Once confirmed, they can be killed directly. All officials who collude with the thieves will be dismissed from their posts and executed. Their family members will be exempted from the death penalty and will not be able to escape. They will all be exiled thousands of miles away. .”

Lao Wangtou was ugly, but his sister was a famous beauty. She was brought into the palace by General Wu Yi and was always favored.

He used tiger skin as a banner and made a lot of money in the past few years. Most of the assets he collected were handed over to General Wu Yi.

Now that the liquidation has begun, no one can escape.

Well-informed officials have long known about the disappearance of the Seventh Princess yesterday. The Seventh Princess is the most favored. Now Lu Chan has become the Seventh Princess's savior. The young general who is already quite popular with the Emperor will only be more favored by His Majesty in the future. favor.

Many officials in the court have made up their minds to be on good terms with Lu Chun, and the balance of the throne for the throne has tilted towards Lu Chun.

When Nalan Yunsheng woke up, it was already noon on the second day, and Concubine De was sitting by the bed with red eyes, looking at her.

"Sheng'er, you're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Mother and concubine, my son is fine. Is everyone saved?"

Concubine De helped her stand up and said, "All the children have been rescued. General Lu also found Paihuazi's den, rescued many children, and killed all the thieves in the entire den."

Hearing this, Nalan Yunsheng felt relieved. She had been here for so long and basically encountered no danger, which made her relax her vigilance. She should bring a few guards with her when going out.

Concubine De suddenly thought of something, her expression changed, and she said seriously: "Sheng'er will not be able to leave the palace at will from now on. If she does, she must bring a guard with her. The mother-in-law is really scared to death."

"Mother Concubine, I will never be like this again. When I leave the palace, I will definitely bring one hundred and eighty guards with me." At this point, Nalan Yunsheng asked cautiously: "Mother Concubine, where is Xiao Anzi? Mother Concubine, please don't blame him, okay? He doesn't want to leave the surroundings of my son, but my son insists on ordering him to do something, and he can't go against his wishes, so he has no choice but to obey."

Concubine De sighed and said: "Xiao Anzi was in trouble to protect the Lord and was arrested by Your Majesty. Now the concubine does not know his whereabouts."

Nalan Yunsheng wanted to get out of bed immediately and said anxiously: "Mother, concubine, I want to go find the father. Xiao Anzi is innocent, and the father cannot punish him."

She put on her shoes and ran out, but Concubine De didn't stop her even after shouting several times.

"Mingchun, follow the princess quickly!"

Nalan Yunsheng ran in front, Mingchun followed closely behind her, and the two of them ran all the way to Qinzheng Hall.

"Eunuch Defu, I want to see my father."

Concubine De came forward and hurriedly hissed, "Little ancestor, please keep your voice down."

"There are many adults in the palace."

After the disappearance of the seventh princess, Emperor Shun was furious. Upon closer inspection, he found that many officials had colluded with each other and committed many evil things.

Emperor Shun wanted to take this opportunity to directly clear out a group of officials. Today, the imperial guards raided the homes of many officials and took all the guilty officials and their families into prison. Now all the officials in the Qinzheng Palace came to raise objections. opinion.

These people came with Emperor Shun after the court went to court. Until now, neither the emperor nor the ministers have persuaded anyone.

The door of the Qinzheng Hall opened, and several officials retreated in embarrassment. One of the censors was still shouting: "Your Majesty, you can't do this to the officials. They are all scholars and clean people. Why?" If you can put a scholar in prison, please let him go as soon as possible, and you cannot impose criminal laws on the scholar."

"If His Majesty insists on going his own way and does not listen to the advice of the ministers, I will have no choice but to die."

Emperor Shun's voice came through the crack in the door: "Go to death, and I will give you a generous burial."

The censor was like a chicken whose throat was strangled, and could no longer make a sound.

His face turned blue and white. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the officials accompanying him covered his mouth and dragged him away.

What a joke, if His Majesty is really annoyed, they will have to sit down together and move their heads.

They have no plans to reincarnate early!

Several adults were so scolded that they helped each other and left. However, these adults were very particular. After seeing Nalan Yunsheng, they straightened their clothes, greeted each other and left again.

Looking at the desolate backs of several adults, she suddenly hesitated. Her father's mood seemed not very good, but Xiao Anzi's matter couldn't be delayed, so just die.
