Chapter 454 454. Commit suicide

 So, Duke Wei also knew that begging for mercy was useless, so he solemnly said to Emperor Qi.

"Everything was done by the old minister alone, and it has nothing to do with the Ninth Prince or anyone else. Your Majesty, please give me the death penalty and spare them."

"Father."

 “Grandpa!”

At this moment, the three people in the main hall lacked the toughness and coercion they had just now, especially Wei Dalang, who cried so hard that his eyes were swollen.

Mr. Xu Ge was very disdainful of him. To put it bluntly, Duke Wei was a tough man and ruthless in his methods. It was a pity that his children and grandchildren were not up to par, and each one was stupider than the other. This allowed them to seize the opportunity and make one fell swoop. Take it.

 As he was thinking about it, he heard Emperor Qi speak mercilessly.

"I'm just saying this now, it's too late. According to my decree, the Ninth Prince united with the Wei family to plot rebellion. If they failed to assassinate me, they would blame the eldest prince. I simply found out, so I gave the noble Wei and the Ninth Prince a glass of poisonous wine. Wei The Duke and the eldest son of the Wei family were sentenced to death, and the rest of the Wei family and the rebellious people were all searched. Those who deserved punishment were sentenced and those who deserved exile were handed over to Prime Minister Bai, Mr. Xu Ge and Lin Wang. It must be settled as soon as possible.”

 “Yes, I obey the order!”

 “Yes, I obey the order!”

 “Yes, I obey your order!”

 After hearing Emperor Qi’s disposition, the courtiers who clung to the Ninth Prince and the Wei family were all sweating profusely, fearing that they would be implicated.

It can be said that Duke Wei Guo had been mentally prepared for such an outcome.

 On the contrary, it was Wei Dalang's crying voice that made everyone have a headache.

Suddenly a burst of laughter came. The Ninth Prince was kneeling on the ground just now and couldn't believe it, but now he staggered to his feet.

 He was unconvinced by the emperor's treatment.

　　Although he is said to be a victor and a victor, he does not even blink an eye at how he handles himself and his mother and concubine.

“Everyone says that I am the prince who is most like my father. Sure enough, I killed my father and you killed my son without even the slightest hesitation.”

Hearing what the Ninth Prince said, Emperor Qi's veins popped out, he stared at him, and then spoke word by word.

"I have given you countless opportunities. It's a pity that you don't know how to cherish them. If it weren't for the insatiable greed of you, your mother-in-law, and the Wei family, you should have been my most beloved prince. Huh, it's all your own fault that led to today's ending. That’s all.”

"Hahaha, you are to blame yourself? Father, you are really good at shirking responsibility! In order to secure your throne, you first gave me and my concubine false favors, which made us feel guilty, and then showed our fatigue many times. You seduced us into taking the bait, and then set up this shocking trap in order to get rid of us in a legitimate way. You really did not leave any stone unturned."

　　One sentence after another, he accused Emperor Qi of being ruthless, and then he said it even more eloquently.

“When Concubine Min and Grandpa Huang passed away one after another, I wonder if you were the one responsible for it!”

 When he said this, his eyes were looking at Xiao Tingyi.

 It seems to be saying that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

After saying that, he took out a bottle of medicine and drank it. When the bottle was smashed, it shattered into pieces.

"I don't need you to kill me. I will take my own life. I just hope that I will not join the imperial family again in the next life. I feel disgusted to have a father like you!"

Before he could finish speaking, blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Before he died, the Ninth Prince looked at everyone and said with mockery in his eyes.

"My king's fate today may not be yours tomorrow. I will wait underground to see how you two serve this wise king!"

 After saying this, he died of anger.

When Wei Dalang saw this scene, he was so frightened that he couldn't even cry. Instead, Wei Guogong suddenly shouted loudly.

 “Good! As expected of me, you are a member of the Wei family!”

Having said that, he caught the sword on his shoulder when he was unprepared, and he killed himself.

Blood was flowing all over the ground, and he glared at Emperor Qi fiercely when he was about to die. Seeing this, the eldest prince suddenly stepped forward to block him, and said to Emperor Qi. “Father, don’t be afraid, it’s their own fault!”

 Emperor Qi only woke up from the shock just now after he said this.

 Hands of fists clenched and unclenched, eyes kept tightly closed, and it took a while before he opened them and spoke.

"Pull it down and bury the Ninth Prince. As for Duke Wei, chop him into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

At this moment, he really couldn't hide his hatred for the Wei family. If they hadn't been instigating him behind his back, the relationship between the Ninth Prince and his father and son would not have been cut off so cleanly.

The guards came forward and dragged the two bodies down, while Wei Dalang was gagged and dragged down.

 The courtiers knelt down in a pool of blood and shouted, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Hearing these words, Emperor Qi's blood surged for a moment. He couldn't hold it back and fell to the ground and fainted.

If the eldest prince hadn't held his hand in time, he would have fallen **** the back of his head.

 “Father, father! Call the doctor quickly, quickly!”

For a time, the drama of the Ninth Prince joining forces with the Wei family to force the palace came to an end after Emperor Qi fainted.

Soon, Duke Wei's mansion was surrounded.

 There are only Mrs. Wei and the half-crazy Wei Lanxuan in the house, and the rest are servants.

 The old, weak, women and children, Xiang Bai and Mr. Xu Ge did not have too many difficulties.

"After half an hour, he will be taken to prison. There is no need to search the women in the house."

"yes!"

Prime Minister Bai's order was obviously to give them a breathing space. Since they were all going to be exiled, money was indispensable.

Give them half an hour to prepare, and don’t search them. They just ask them to hide all valuables or banknotes first.

 “You are kind and righteous.”

 Xu Gelao said, in fact, if it were him, he would do the same thing.

 One old and one crazy, how can they succeed? It’s good to be alive.

"But the Wei family has a grandson who is traveling around the world with a Taoist master. What should we do? Should we arrest him or not?"

"Your Majesty's order is for the entire Wei family, so we must arrest them. When they are captured, they will be checked. If they are not involved, they should be exiled. Let him take care of these remaining women and children."

 “Well, this is a good idea.”

While the two were talking, Lin Wang came over.

He personally led people to inspect the Wei family, so Duke Wei's study was a top priority.

Giving Mrs. Wei and Wei Lanxuan a chance did not mean that they would not leave the study room, so soon all the secrets in the study room were searched out.

 It contains not only the official grain account book submitted by the Water Transport Department every year, but also the benefits delivered to him and the Ninth Prince from various places over the years, including but not limited to private salt, private iron, private mines, and even private transportation.

Among them, it was unexpectedly discovered that Duke Wei Guo and the Heyu family who returned from Ling seemed to have some secret interactions, but this requires careful inspection.

If the evidence is conclusive, then the Wei family still intends to collaborate with the enemy and treason!

  In other words, they joined forces with foreign countries in an attempt to harm the Jin Dynasty.

These evil deeds can be said to have stepped on Emperor Qi's back. If he hadn't fallen ill due to shortness of breath at this moment, he would have had to flog the corpse himself to relieve the hatred in his heart.
