I want to ruin the country

Chapter 145: Lian Xin's story explained

Prince Gong knew the time had come, and he fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, I have benefited greatly from your words. Your Majesty is wise and wise. Long live your Majesty!"

Prince Gong knelt down, and then Wenqing and Duanhua also knelt down. They also said that it was right to listen to the Emperor Kangxi!

These people are very smooth-talking. I am not saying that I support the emperor. I am saying that the Holy Ancestor is right and he will never make a mistake in his life!

If anyone dares to say that the Holy Ancestor is wrong, the Emperor will immediately chop off your head with a forty-meter machete!

With someone taking the lead, the others followed suit, and one after another, whether willing or not, knelt down to express their support for the emperor.

In the end, only Mu Zhang'a was left standing!

Yining stared at him, which made Mu Zhang'a feel really bored. He felt that there was a murderous sword in the emperor's eyes. If he didn't kneel down, the sword might fall at any time.

"Plop" he also knelt down, but didn't say a word.

Without saying a word, it’s as if I’ve said, I don’t accept it!

Yining said in his heart, even if you are not convinced, you have to kneel down. If you kneel down, I will win the first battle.

Now that I have won the first battle, I will press on with my victory!

"Master Qi, do you have anything else to say?"

Qi Yingdao,

"I have nothing to say!"

Yining Road,

"Weng Tong and a small official were willing to kneel down at the palace gate to protest for the country and the people. I wonder where Lord Qi was at that time?"

"This one……"

Qi Ying was speechless!

Yining then asked,

"The reason Weng Tonghe knelt down to make a petition was because he felt that my auctioning off of my property had brought shame to the Great Qing Nation. Although Weng Tonghe was ignorant, he was also sincere, so I sent him a hundred taels of silver as a token of consolation!

Then, when he heard that the soldiers were shaving their heads, he felt that I had changed the ancestral teachings, which he found difficult to accept, so he chose to commit suicide!

This can only mean that he is ignorant. The world is changing. If we blindly cling to the laws passed down by our ancestors, our Daqing nation will soon be destroyed!

The Westerners didn't cling to the laws of their ancestors; they built powerful ships and cannons, and that's why they defeated us and forced us to cede territory and pay compensation. Do I have to stick to the laws of my ancestors and hang myself?"

When everyone saw the emperor’s angry eyes turned red, they dared not speak. No one wanted to feel uncomfortable!

Qi Ying was not really stupid. He knew that the matter was irreversible and there was no benefit in arguing with the emperor any further. Judging from the emperor's attitude, he still had ten thousand words waiting for him. There was still a long way to go!

"Slave, slave, I have nothing to say!"

But Yining didn't want to let him go. You're okay, but I still have something to say!

"I have nothing more to say. Do you want to give me an explanation about Lian Xin's matter?!"

"boom!"

It was like a thunderclap hitting Qi Ying's head in a clear sky, almost knocking him unconscious!

It’s over, the secret is exposed!

He has been feeling very nervous these days, not knowing whether Lianxin died of illness. If she did, that would be too coincidental. If she didn't, why didn't the emperor make any move?

After so many days, he gradually calmed down and believed in his heart that Lianxin really died of illness. Once she died, all was settled. There was no evidence, so he could finally rest in peace!

I never expected that this matter would be exposed!

He was not so stupid as to think that the emperor mentioned Lian Xin just for fun!

But no matter who it is, they will struggle when they are about to die, and Qi Ying will not sit still and wait for death!

"Your Majesty, didn't Lian Xin die of...disease?"

"hehe!"

Yining laughed,

"Then please, Master Qi, take a look at who this is!"

Yining waved his hand, and Yi Heping brought out a woman from the back of the hall. Qi Ying looked closely and found that it was Lianxin.

"You...you...are you a human or a ghost?"

Lian Xin gritted her teeth and said,

"Lord Qi Ying, I almost became a ghost!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned. What was the emperor saying?

Only Mu Zhang'a was terrified. It's over, it's all over, my life is over!

But he still pointed at Lian Xin and scolded loudly,

"How dare a mere servant address Master Qi by his name!"

Lian Xin looked at him,

"If he were Lord Qi Ying, I wouldn't dare address him by his given name, but he's already dead, so why can't I?"

Qi Ying panicked and shouted,

"You are a lunatic, you, you, you are talking nonsense!"

Mu Zhang'a said,

"You, what did you say? How could Lord Qi Ying be dead? How dare you curse an official of the imperial court? You deserve to be put to death!"

Lian Xin walked towards Qi Ying step by step.

"Do I need to curse someone who murdered the emperor? Lord Qi Ying, you seem to know what I'm going to say!"

The situation in the hall suddenly changed. Du Shoutian was also a little confused. He scolded,

"Bold Lianxin, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Lian Xin turned around and knelt down in front of Yining.

"My Lords, I, Lian Xin, used to serve the Emperor. My family has been servants of the Qiying family for generations!

He...he captured my parents and family, and forced me to assassinate the emperor, or else he would kill our entire family!"

Lian Xin started crying out of grievance.

"I was forced to do so, so I had no choice but to agree to his request!"

"boom!"

It was like a bombshell exploding in the hall, and the ministers were stunned. Qi Ying was going to assassinate the emperor?!

Qi Ying has recovered from his initial shock. He can commit the crime of assassinating the emperor, but he must never admit it. If he does, his entire clan will be executed!

He pretended to shout at the top of his lungs,

"Why are you slandering me, you bitch? Who ordered you to do this? Tell the truth now."

Mu Zhang'a also said loudly,

"You will die if you slander an important official of the imperial court!"

Listening to the buzzing discussion below, Yining pressed his hand down.

"My dear ministers, let Lian Xin tell us slowly whether she was instructed by someone or whether she slandered Lord Qi Ying!"

Other things can be endured, but when it comes to the assassination of the emperor, who doesn't want to distance themselves from it? Everyone hurriedly said,

"Yes, yes, tell me now!"

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lian Xin didn't say anything, tears flowed down her face.

"My Lords, please listen to my explanation!"

Then, Lianxin recounted how she attempted to assassinate the emperor that day and how she was thwarted and failed by Hongxiu.

Qi Ying was sweating profusely. He pointed at Lian Xin.

"You, you, you are slandering me! It must be my enemies who ordered you to assassinate the emperor and frame me. I am loyal to the emperor, how could they want to kill the emperor for no reason?"

Lian Xin sneered and said,

"Qi Ying, my parents and brothers have been brought out by the Emperor, you can't harm them!

Your Majesty, please let my family testify!"

Yining nodded, and Yifangfang waved his hand, and several people walked in from outside the hall, both men and women, old and young.

After entering, he knelt down and kowtowed at the door of the temple.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
