"Kill three clans?"
"You guys really dare to dream!"
"If I give the order to kill Sima Yi's three clans, I'm afraid the Imperial Army in the city will immediately rebel. At that time, the entire capital will be in chaos.”
Gu Fengming secretly laughed in his heart. Wang Mang and An Lushan were just talking about it to show the seriousness of the matter. Three clans. They also knew that Sima Zhao could not have his three clans killed. If he really wanted to kill his three clans, Sima Yi would be one of them. How could he tolerate it?
Qin Hui hid at the side, his eyes darting around as he looked at the group of people in front of him. It was as if he was wandering outside. He did not want to participate in the battle between these people.
"Your Highness, please make your decision!"
Wang Mang looked at Gu Fengming. Since Gu Fengming was the regent, he had to give the order. It was good for them to watch the tigers fight from the other side!
"Trying to trick me?"
Gu Fengming glanced at Wang Mang and sneered in his heart.
"Isn't it too much to kill three clans? After all, Sima Zhao is the son of Great General Sima and has served in the Palace for many years. Even if father and son don't have any merits, they have worked hard. How about this, sentence Sima Zhao to death?”
Gu Fengming rolled his eyes and said slowly.
Wang Mang and An Lushan's eyes lit up when they heard that Gu Fengming had sentenced Sima Zhao to death. It was as if this decision had exceeded their expectations. They had thought that Gu Fengming was just casually scaring Sima Yi. They did not expect him to be serious. He really wanted to kill someone.
Qin Hui frowned and looked at Gu Fengming with a strange look in his eyes.
Only Sima Yi's expression changed drastically when he heard that. He stared at Gu Fengming.
" Father, father save me, father save me…"
This time, Sima Zhao was scared out of his wits. He didn't think that this was a joke. Seeing that his life was in danger, Sima Zhao immediately looked at Sima Zhao with a pleading gaze.
"Your Highness, may I have a word with you?”
Seeing that Qin Hui was watching from the sidelines while Wang Mang and An Lushan wanted to use this opportunity to stab him, Sima Yi's expression changed. Finally, he looked at Gu Fengming.
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Gu Fengming nodded and did not refuse.
The two of them walked to the back hall in a grand manner, leaving the others behind.
Seeing Gu Fengming and Sima Yi leave alone, Wang Mang and An Lushan's expressions changed. However, they could do nothing but wait.
"Great General, do you have anything to say?"
Gu Fengming asked Sima Yi.
"Your Highness, what do I have to do to make you spare my son's life?”
Sima Yi went straight to the point. The one who wanted to kill Sima Zhao was Gu Fengming, and the one who could save Sima Zhao was also Gu Fengming. If Gu Fengming insisted on killing Sima Zhao, Sima Yi really had no other choice. He could only beg Gu Fengming for help.
"Simple. Drag the Imperial Army out of the Imperial Palace. In the future, this king will be responsible for the safety of the Imperial Palace. There is no need to trouble Great General. If Great General agrees, Sima Zhao will be fine.”
Gu Fengming didn't waste any time with Sima Yi and went straight to the point, directly stating his request.
Gu Fengming wanted to clean up the Imperial Palace and get rid of all of Sima Yi's Imperial Army forces. Gu Fengming understood that he had to take things one bite at a time. If he couldn't become a big fatty in one bite, he couldn't possibly take Sima Yi down in one go. If that was the case, he wouldn't be Sima Yi anymore.
Now that he had taken control of the harem and the East and West Factories, as long as he could get rid of the Imperial Army, at least in the capital, the entire Imperial Palace would be under his control.
Sima Yi's expression changed when he heard Gu Fengming's words. He frowned at Gu Fengming. He had not expected Gu Fengming to make such a request.
"If the Imperial Army leaves the Imperial Palace, what will happen to the safety of the Imperial Palace?”
"Great General, you don't have to worry about this. Great General, I only want the Imperial Army to withdraw from the Imperial Palace. The entire Imperial Army is still under your control. The Imperial Palace is just a corner of Jingdou. To you, there is no loss. Is your son more important or is the Imperial Palace more important?”
Gu Fengming chuckled and said to the other party.
When he heard this, Sima Yi fell silent. He looked at the nine-year-old child, Gu Fengming. For the first time, he felt that he was not facing a child, but a wily old fox. He even had a feeling that Sima Zhao's intrusion into the palace was very likely arranged by Little Hands. If that was the case, Sima Yi really could not underestimate Gu Fengming.
"How is Your Highness going to save my child?”
"Now, the Prime Minister and the Grand Commandant are here. Your Highness has already said that you want to kill my son.”
Sima Yi asked after some thought.
"Simple. When we go out later, I'll say that for the sake of democratic reasons, the five of us will vote to decide whether to kill Sima Zhao. You and I will vote to kill him or not. Qin Hui, that brat, won't get up early without benefits. He won't think of offending you, so he will definitely vote to kill him or not.”
"Hiss, good idea."
Sima Yi sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at Gu Fengming, and his eyes were filled with even more shock. Was this really the wisdom that a nine-year-old child should have?
"So the Great General has agreed?"
"I agree."
Sima Yi nodded. His son was still important. Furthermore, just as Gu Fengming had said, the entire capital was under the control of the Imperial Army. Even if they withdrew from the Imperial Palace, Gu Fengming would not be able to do much.
"Dear ministers, I thought about it just now and felt that this matter is too important. "Sima Zhao's life and death will be decided by us together. We each have one vote. If you think Sima Zhao deserves to die, then raise your hand. If you think Sima Zhao doesn't deserve to die, then you don't have to raise your hand. In the end, the minority will obey the majority.”
Gu Fengming said to Wang Mang and the other two as they emerged from the rear hall.
Wang Mang and the others 'expressions changed. They didn't know what Gu Fengming was up to.
"Alright, raise your hand if you think Sima Zhao deserves to die!”
Gu Fengming didn't bother explaining to these people and looked at them.
Wang Mang and An Lushan instantly raised their hands and looked at Gu Fengming, waiting for him to raise his hand. Unfortunately, Gu Fengming ignored them and turned his head away.
Seeing this, Wang Mang and An Lushan's hearts thumped. They wondered what kind of agreement Gu Fengming and Sima Yi had reached. It seemed that Gu Fengming had been bribed by Sima Yi.
They were secretly annoyed that Gu Fengming was playing with them like monkeys, but they all looked at Qin Hui, wanting him to support them.
Unfortunately, Qin Hui directly chose to ignore it and turned his head away. He would not do such an offensive thing.
"Alright, three votes are greater than two votes. Since that's the case, then this king will be lenient and pardon Sima Zhao's death sentence.”
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment cannot be avoided. From today onwards, Sima Zhao will be relieved of his position as a lieutenant of the Imperial Guards and will not be allowed to enter the official ranks for ten years. Sima Yi has failed to teach his son properly and will be fined half a year's salary. In addition, the Imperial Guards will be dismissed.”
