Volume 1, Chapter 131, Invite Bai Qi to Return to the Court
"Stupid Emperor! Tyrant!"
Yang Paifeng and Yang Tianbao also cursed angrily. They were also dragged back by the guards in front of the palace.
Yang Paifeng's eyes were dangerous. He really wanted to draw his sword and chop these guards with swords. He even wanted to rush up and argue with the emperor.
But seeing that his father and brother did not resist, he could only let go of the handle of the sword helplessly.
At this moment, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. These people called him a stupid emperor and a tyrant in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
He pointed at Yang Wudi and the others and roared:
"Where did I get confused and violent?"
"In my hands, the Great Zhou Dynasty almost destroyed the Northern Liang Dynasty, and I defeated the Xiongnu and killed four Xiongnu Khans!"
"No! It's five!"
"The five Xiongnu Khans, some died, some were captured."
"The only remaining Xiongnu Khan's son, Chuluo Khan, has now become my godson."
"I am the true sage and wise ruler!"
"The Great Zhou is unprecedentedly prosperous."
When the Great Zhou Emperor told Yang Wudi about these achievements one by one, Yang Wuji stopped cursing immediately, and when he was dragged back, he directly spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
If it wasn't far away, he would definitely spit on the face of the Great Zhou Emperor.
Yang Wudi really learned a lot, he had never seen such a scum who could flatter himself.
He cursed: "You tyrant, do you still have some shame?"
"You say you have the merit of destroying Beiliang, but you want to frame Yue Shenqiang!"
"I have never seen such a shameless tyrant!"
Seeing that Yang Wudi was so disrespectful to the emperor, everyone secretly admired him in their hearts, saying that the curse was so good!
They really wanted to curse him at this moment!
The emperor of the Great Zhou was angry. This was too disrespectful to him.
"Asshole, come and punish me!"
"Put all of Yang Wudi's family members in jail!"
"Don't spare any of them!"
The emperor of the Great Zhou was furious. He wanted the eunuchs in the Ministry of Punishment to deal with these people.
After Yang Wudi's scolding faded away, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ordered the civil and military officials: "I don't care what method you use, anyway, in a month, you have to select another 3,000 girls for me!"
"As for the silver, use the 400,000 taels of silver that Yang Wudi brought!"
The military officers were so depressed that they were about to vomit blood. This silver was seized by Bai Qi in the front. How nice it would be to use this silver to comfort the people?
You actually want to use it to select girls!
Can you do something human?
They snorted coldly and didn't want to pay attention to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What does the selection of girls have to do with them, the military officers.
Anyway, they would not send their daughters to the palace.
The civil officials were smiling and accepted the order.
You know, it doesn't cost much to use this silver to select girls. They can rob and steal from the people.
As for those who really want to stuff their daughters into the emperor's dragon bed, they don't need to spend money, and they can still collect some money.
The grand court meeting ended in the emperor's rage.
After the Emperor of the Great Zhou returned to the harem, he immediately found the most vicious old eunuch in the Ministry of Punishment. After giving him some instructions, the old eunuch led a group of young eunuchs and rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
After arriving at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he saw that the people of the Ministry of Punishment had prepared a very clean cell for Yang Wudi and Yue Shenqiang.
Someone even bought them a table of wine and food.
So that these people could eat and drink well in the prison. They
were even extremely respectful to the families of the two. After all, these jailers admired these two generals who guarded the border city very much.
"Damn it! Can they still eat?"
As soon as the old eunuch came in and saw this situation, he opened the door of the cell and kicked over the table in front of Yue Shenqiang.
The wine and meat were scattered all over the floor.
The old eunuch looked down at Yue Shenqiang and shouted: "Zajia is your Majesty's man, why don't you kneel down when you see Zajia?"
These eunuchs have lived in the palace for many years, and their bodies are disabled. These people are very dark in their hearts, and they like to be accomplices to the tiger outside.
Especially to torture those of noble status.
How many concubines in the harem have they disposed of.
Only in this way can they satisfy their remaining vanity.
"I, Yue Shenqiang, never kneel to eunuchs!"
Yue Shenqiang stood straight. He knew that he might face persecution from these people next, but he was not afraid at all.
"Okay, then I will teach you how to be a man!"
"Come here, bring Yue Shenqiang's personal soldiers to me!"
As soon as the old eunuch gave an order, someone immediately came over with Yue Shenqiang's personal soldiers.
This is still a teenager who is only 18 years old. He is usually responsible for Yue Shenqiang's daily life, and helps him sort out letters and do some sundries.
This personal soldier can be said to be the closest person to Yue Shenqiang.
Sometimes Yue Shenqiang also treats him as his son.
The old eunuch said directly to the personal soldier: "As long as you can give evidence of Yue Shenqiang's corruption and abuse of power, I can guarantee that you will be promoted!"
The personal soldier directly spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the old eunuch's face and said: "You eunuch who has no offspring! Still want to frame our Marshal Yue? Dream on your Spring and Autumn period!"
"Little bastard, you are looking for death!"
The old eunuch was so angry that his face turned blue. He winked at the young eunuchs below, and several young eunuchs came immediately and took out an iron hook. It
directly locked the scapula of this personal soldier.
Next, the personal soldier let out a shrill scream.
In less than half an hour, this personal soldier was tortured to death by these people.
"Beast, beast!"
Yue Shenqiang's eyes were about to burst, but at this moment he had been tied up tightly with cowhide ropes by the eunuchs.
The old eunuch sat by and drank tea leisurely, and said sarcastically: "Marshal Yue, if you don't want to suffer, just confess honestly!"
"You're going to die anyway!"
"Why make yourself uncomfortable?"
"As long as you confess according to what the emperor said, I can at least keep you and your family's bodies intact!" The eunuch
looked at Yue Shenqiang with confidence, and even took out a confession that had been prepared long ago, waiting for Yue Shenqiang to sign it personally.
There were all kinds of trumped-up charges written on it.
The father-in-law glanced at him casually, then spitted out a mouthful of saliva and cursed: "You are dreaming! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! No man in the Yue family is afraid of death!"
"Okay, okay, then let's deal with Yue Yunlei next!"
The old eunuch waved his hand, and several young eunuchs pulled Yue Yunlei over again, using the same method to deal with the personal soldiers.
Even though Yue Yunlei was a general who fought on the battlefield, he fainted from the pain several times when facing torture.
His prison uniform was stained red, and his words were like a knife rubbing against glass, which made Yue Shenqiang cry.
"Beast, beast!"
At this time, Yue Shenqiang's old mother in the cell next door couldn't bear it anymore.
The old lady collapsed, and she couldn't stand seeing her children and grandchildren suffer.
"The emperor is unrighteous, the emperor is a tyrant, since you want our Yue family to die, then I will do as you wish!"
The old lady, who was already over 80 years old, hit her head against the wall, and the next moment blood flowed, and the old lady died on the spot.
"Mother!"
Yue Shenqiang's eyes turned red, and all the pain and crying were stuck in his throat.
His personal soldiers were persecuted, and his son was tortured by them, which made him very uncomfortable. Now he saw his old mother died tragically in front of him.
Yue Shenqiang really felt that he could not bear it anymore.
The old eunuch on the side screamed, it seems that Marshal Yue also has a soft spot!
He looked at Yue Shenqiang's wife and Yue Yunlei's fiancee who were locked in the old lady's cell, and suddenly smiled: "
Pull out Yue Yunlei's fiancee for me."
The young eunuchs took action immediately, and at this moment, Yue Yunlei roared: "You dare! She is Bai Qi's cousin!"
When the old lady heard this, the teacup in her hand fell directly to the ground, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead.
Then he cursed angrily: "How come you, these bastards, caught her as well? Bastard, why don't you let her go?"
Bai Qi's cousin Zhang Qingye was respectfully invited out of the cell by these young eunuchs. Her eyes were full of tears at this moment. She looked at Yue Yunlei and said in a hoarse voice: "General!"
Yue Yunlei was too weak to speak at this moment, and Yang Paifeng, who was imprisoned in the cell next door, stomped his feet and said:
"Where does so much love come from?"
"Cousin, Bai Qi once told me that if there is any change in the capital, let me inform him as soon as possible. You should go back now and find a way to contact your cousin!"
"I don't believe it. There is really no one in this world who will give us justice?"
After Yang Paifeng said this, the old eunuch shuddered all over.
He wanted to kill Bai Qi's cousin directly at this moment, but he didn't dare.
Bai Qi's cousin immediately ran out of the cell. She was already crying, but she had only one thought in her mind, to find her cousin back!
