287 You want me to give you death to comfort the souls of the dead.
Unexpectedly, this explosion was actually related to him.
"Didn't I ask you to keep strict supervision and operate it carefully? How could it explode?!" King Li roared angrily.
"My subordinates are trying their best to be careful, but who knows who's naughty kid is so small that we didn't even notice it, so we ran in holding small burning fireworks, and by the time we heard the noise, they were already there. There’s no rush!”
Chu Qi was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, lowering his head and not daring to breathe.His eyes unconsciously looked at the torture instruments on the table, trembling.
"Your Majesty, what should I do? Please tell me!"
Chu Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt nervous and anxious. Now that such a big thing happened and the situation was changing rapidly, it was better to have a countermeasure as soon as possible.
"What to do? Hurry, enter the palace!"
King Li also had no idea. When it came to killing, abusing and torturing people, he was the first, but no one dared to be second. However, in terms of tactics and emergency measures, he could only rely on his mother and concubine.
He and his people rushed to the palace as soon as possible to discuss the matter with his mother-in-law, Concubine Wan Guifei.
When they arrived at the palace, Concubine Wan Gui saw her son coming in in a panic and with an anxious face. When she heard the explosion outside, she was startled and waved to signal everyone in the palace to get out.
"Don't tell me, this matter has something to do with you."
Seeing King Li lowering his head and saying nothing, Concubine Wan Gui took a long breath and trembled with anger.
Concubine Wan Gui scolded her son, "Why are you so careless? How many times have I told you not to open a private mine, and even if you open it, you must stop it in time. Why are you still making trouble now?" Making such a big noise?!"
"Selling illegal salt, counterfeiting coins, buying and selling girls and children, which one can't make you a lot of money? Do you have to go to the coal mine?!" Concubine Wan Gui paced back and forth with a stern expression and a sharp voice.
King Li's face was full of remorse, but he always had a vague feeling that this happened too suddenly, as if someone was harming him.
"Mother and Concubine, someone is trying to harm me now! No matter whether I am selling private salt, counterfeiting coins, or buying and selling girls and children, I will be framed by the other party and fall into a place of eternal destruction. Mother and Concubine, I must save my son!"
King Li knew in his heart that the only one who could and was willing to help him with this matter now was his mother and concubine.
"Whether this was an accident or someone did it deliberately, I have sent people to investigate. You are so old, why are you still so careless? If you don't think of countermeasures quickly, what will happen to the noise in this palace? !" Concubine Wan Gui scolded sternly.
"The most urgent thing is that you go to His Majesty to apologize! No matter what, you can't say that you made the decision and asked your subordinates to handle this matter."
"Let's just say that you were lax in your discipline and your subordinates opened a private mine in your name. You didn't know anything about this from beginning to end. Do you remember?!" Concubine Wan Gui asked seriously.
"Remember, mother and concubine, I will go to my father to apologize right now!" King Li stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, contact the ministers in the court, especially those who are apparently from King Rui's faction, but are actually from our side, and ask them to impeach you. The more exaggerated the statement, the better. Let them implore His Majesty to demote you to a commoner. People should be exiled thousands of miles away, imprisoned, or sentenced to death." Concubine Wan Gui racked her brains, thinking of countermeasures.
"Concubine, are you really going to do this?" King Li was shocked. He was used to being comfortable and extravagant, so how could he suffer so much.
What would he do if his father really sent him to death? !
"Mother and concubine, my son will not end up like Xuan Wenchuan, right?!" King Li was immediately discouraged and his head hung down.
"Why do you go back as you grow older? Xuan Wenchuan has thoughts of rebellion. He killed his father and usurped the throne. How could your father tolerate him?! But you are just greedy for money. The two things are different in nature."
Concubine Wan Gui knew very well that for Xuan Zheng, as long as it did not threaten his personal safety, his throne, and his reputation as an emperor through the ages, he didn't care much about other things.
"Your father is very suspicious. As long as someone tries their best to impeach you and say that you are very bad, worthless, and guilty, your father will naturally feel that you have been framed, and maybe he will It's a pity that you were used as a pawn and pointed at the vested interests of King Fang Rui."
Concubine Wan Gui sat down on the chair. When could her son make her worry free?
"Yes, the mother-in-law said yes, I will do it now."
When King Li came to Concubine Wan Gui's palace, he was scolded all over his face. Naturally, he felt unhappy. He was a dignified prince, but he was scolded by the concubines in the harem, and he was very upset.
But Wan Guifei's method worked, so he had no choice but to follow it.
……
Soon, Xuan Zheng learned that the coal mine in Jiulonggang exploded, and that the coal mine was set up privately by King Li.For a time, public dissatisfaction boiled over, and the palace had to send people to suppress it.
King Li knelt outside the Zichen Hall for most of the day, but Xuan Zheng didn't even call him in.
The explosion in the coal mine caused heavy casualties and caused widespread complaints among the people. Xuan Zheng was so angry that he broke several teacups with carved dragon patterns, and he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead in sorrow.
"Your Majesty, hold on tight and have a sip of the ginseng soup." Li Youcai brought the ginseng soup in front of Xuan Zheng.
"Li Youcai, what do you think about Li Wang's private mine?"
Li Youcai was silent for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, King Li is still kneeling outside. Why don't you let King Li come in and tell you what's going on?"
Xuan Zheng glared at him and snorted: "You are the only one who knows how to kick a ball!"
Xuanzheng summoned King Li into the palace, grabbed King Li's ears and scolded him. He grabbed the memorials on the table and threw them at his head: "Look, they are all memorials to impeach you. Some of them want to demote you." Common man! If you ask me to die to comfort the souls of the dead, you really make the royal family proud!"
Xuan Zheng didn't expect the news to come so quickly. He didn't know about it until he knew about it. The impeachment papers were delivered to him. Later, a steady stream of papers discussing the matter came into the Zichen Palace.
"Father, I'm guilty, but I'm unjust. I didn't know anything about the coal mine. It's because I didn't take care of the people under my command that I allowed them to commit such a big crime! It's because I'm incompetent. We can’t share our worries without my father, my father!”
King Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You really don't know this?" Xuan Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
King Li nodded repeatedly and said aggrievedly: "Father, the ministers who impeached me must have disliked me for a long time. They must have gotten the news faster than me!"
"Now that something like this happened, they didn't think about how to deal with the injured people, but instead came to impeach their ministers in a hurry. What's their motive?!"
Xuan Zheng's anger subsided after hearing this. He lowered his head and glanced at the names of the ministers on the memorial, and ordered in a cold voice: "Li Youcai, King Xuanrui enters the palace."
