Chapter 254 In My Opinion, They Should Be Exterminated to the Ninth Degree of Kinship
The minds of all the civil and military officials present were uniformly filled with these five words.
He couldn't hit the target with an arrow, so he just threw the bow and smashed the deer to death. Was there really such an outrageous and strange operation in the world?
This Fourth Prince wasn't a normal person! Too damn abnormal!
Even the Emperor Kang Shun was dumbfounded. He had been an emperor for so long, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.
"Your Majesty, I have completed what I promised. I hope you can also do what you promised."
Qiao Yu said calmly. The reason he played these boring tricks with this group of people was just to make up for the guilt in his heart.
If she became empress, the woman he called "mother" in the dungeon should be happy, right?
"This…" the emperor hesitated.
Seeing this, the Prime Minister immediately jumped out.
"Fourth Prince, that's not right! What you and His Majesty said was 'shoot to kill'! You have not fulfilled the condition!"
"Isn't a bow used for shooting?" Qiao Yu asked rhetorically.
"Yes..."
"Then didn't I kill that deer with a bow?" Qiao Yu pressed.
"Yes... but... Fourth Prince, it's true that you killed the deer with a bow, but who uses a bow to hit people directly?!" The Prime Minister stammered.
"Ma Fei, it seems they still don't understand Yu-ge enough." Yang Xiangdi muttered softly, "A guy who can play a necromancer and still engage in close combat, what's it to him to use a bow to smash someone? It's completely normal."
Ma Fei nodded in agreement after hearing this. Qiao Yu could only be described with two words: outrageous.
Qiao Yu also lost patience at this time. He directly asked the Prime Minister,
"Are you just going to say whether the deer is dead or not?"
"Dead..." The Prime Minister's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"That's all there is to it. What do you say, Your Majesty?" Qiao Yu turned his head.
The Emperor took a deep breath.
"A ruler's words are iron. Since I promised you, I will naturally do it! When we return, I will naturally make Consort Yang the Empress!"
"Your Majesty! Changing the empress is a major national matter. This is not a trivial matter. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Seeing this, the Prime Minister knelt down directly on the ground.
As the head of the civil officials knelt down, the civil officials behind him also kowtowed one after another.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Four princes, what do you think? How should this matter be handled?" At this time, the Emperor suddenly had the idea of testing his sons. He wanted to see how his sons would handle state affairs. "First Prince, you speak first!"
Yang Xiangdi's eyes lit up immediately, and he cupped his fist and said, "Your Majesty has already said to make Consort Yang the Empress, and these people still have so much to say, obviously they don't obey Your Majesty! In my opinion, they should all be put to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor's face was full of black lines.
The civil officials kneeling on the ground had ten thousand grass mud horses galloping through their hearts. We only said four words and we're going to be put to death? Is there still any law? Is there any justice?!
"Second Prince, you speak!" the Emperor said.
Yang Xiangdi gave Ma Fei a look, and Ma Fei immediately understood.
"I think what the First Prince said is reasonable. I second that! Death, death!"
The Emperor was silent for a moment.
"What about you? Do you also think so?" The Emperor only felt a little pain in his heart. What kind of creatures did he give birth to?
Before the Third Prince could speak, Qiao Yu spoke first.
"Your Majesty, I think the First Prince's approach is a bit inappropriate!"
The Emperor smoothed his chest. He finally heard a normal person speak. The many civil officials kneeling on the ground also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then what do you think should be done?" the Emperor pressed.
"In my opinion, their whole clan should be exterminated!"
Emperor: "..."
Civil and military officials: "..."
They had seen many living Bodhisattvas and great saints, but this was the first time they had seen a living King of Hell in the world.
That's right, people who can use a bow to smash things, how can their brains be normal?
"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked you!" The Emperor felt very egg-achey.
"In front of the civil and military officials, a ruler's words are iron! I have made up my mind on this matter, and you should not say any more!"
As the Emperor spoke, the matter was directly concluded.
When the Prime Minister got up, he was completely dumbfounded.
Because a deer died, his daughter lost her chance to be Empress?
He felt that everything that happened today could only be described as bizarre.
After such a commotion, Emperor Kang Shun also completely lost his interest in continuing to hunt, and directly returned to the palace, with the civil and military officials following behind him.
As long as they passed the hillside in front of them, they would return to the place where they first set off. The Empress and others were waiting for them there.
"Yang Mengxuan! You really have a lot of nerve! Raising such an unfilial son, who actually dares to insult me in public?"
A woman's sharp voice was like a loudspeaker, resounding through the sky. Qiao Yu recognized it as the Empress's voice!
And Yang Mengxuan was the name of his mother, Consort Yang, in the dungeon!
"Giddy up!"
Qiao Yu no longer concealed his strength, and rode his horse over the hillside. Then, he saw a scene that made his eyes tear apart!
The Empress stood condescendingly, while Consort Yang was kneeling in front of her.
Then, the Empress slapped Consort Yang directly to the ground!
This slap was extremely powerful, and blood flowed from the corner of Consort Yang's mouth.
However, she humbly climbed up again, apologized to the Empress, and kowtowed her head with a thud.
"Please forgive me, Empress. The Emperor is still a child. He is ignorant because I didn't teach him well. It is the mother's fault if the child is not taught. You are magnanimous, please let him go. Just come at me if you have anything!"
Seeing Consort Yang admit her mistake, the Empress became even more energetic. She raised her sharp voice and cursed loudly, slapping Consort Yang's face with one hand.
"Come at you? Can you afford it? You are just a lowly person, do you understand? I am the master of the harem!"
"I understand, as long as the Empress lets the Fourth Prince go."
A hint of humiliation flashed in Consort Yang's eyes, but for the sake of her child, she still endured it, fearing that offending the Empress would cause trouble for her child.
That cowardly appearance made Qiao Yu's heart ache.
"Giddy up!"
He slapped the horse hard, and the horse under him immediately sprinted forward.
The sound of the horse galloping startled the Empress. She now realized that Qiao Yu was riding towards her.
Her expression instantly became a little unnatural, and then she returned to her original arrogant and domineering appearance.
As the Empress, it was a matter of course to beat a consort.
"My son, why did you come back so soon?" A hint of anxiety flashed in Consort Yang's eyes. She didn't want her child to see her current appearance.
"Mother, your son is unfilial, making you suffer." Qiao Yu dismounted and directly helped Consort Yang up.
"Silly child, what are you sorry for? I'm the one who's sorry for you. Mother is old and useless. I can't help you, and I've embarrassed you."
Consort Yang gently patted the back of Qiao Yu's hand, just like when she comforted the Fourth Prince to sleep when he was a child.
Even though he knew this was just a dungeon, Qiao Yu couldn't help but choke up a bit, and there were faint tears in his eyes.
A man does not shed tears lightly, only when he is truly heartbroken.
He, who had not felt maternal love since he was six years old, was now in a surge of emotions.
He couldn't help but think, would his mother be as gentle and loving as Yang Mengxuan?
"Silly child, why are you crying." Consort Yang reached out to brush away the tears from the corner of Qiao Yu's eyes, but at this time she was already in tears.
Just then, a discordant and mean voice sounded.
"If you mother and son want to cry, go somewhere else to cry! Today is His Majesty's great hunting day. You are crying here like jinxes, it's really unlucky!"
"If you spoil His Majesty's interest, you two will be responsible even if you die ten thousand times!"
