The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 260. Lu Jing Yu's Plan
While Pei Zhong Min and the rebels had been taken into the dungeon to await their execution, the soldiers were working quickly. With orders from Emperor Pei An Long, they went to the residence of the treacherous ministers. The most severe punishment was for a rebel. Not only will the perpetrator be punished directly, but he also drags all members of his family down into the abyss of death.
It is unfair, but the rule has been in effect since ancient times and has been carried out by generations. It aims to be an example for others. In addition, by killing all family members of these rebels even newborn babies did not escape the same punishment, will eliminate the threat of revenge from family members left in the future. Everyone knows that revenge has a combat power that is several levels higher because they tend to risk everything to achieve their goal of revenge.
Yet by the time Lu Jing Yu heard this, he was still unable to accept it. So he went to the Emperor to negotiate with his father-in-law after Emperor Pei An Long saw the body of Suri's mother.
"God! You're so brave." Emperor Pei An Long sneered. He glanced at Lu Jing Yu with dislike.
"Please forgive this son-in-law Father Emperor. It was not the intention of this son-in-law to interfere with this matter, but this son-in-law wanted to give a better choice." Lu Jing Yu felt depressed at Emperor Pei An Long's glance which was like he was looking at her sharply. But as he recalled the fate of the innocent children who would die without knowing what their fault was, Lu Jing Yu tried to ventured.
Pei Zhang Xi who accompanied Lu Jing Yu to his father sighed. Although he agreed with Lu Jing Yu's proposal to pardon the children and family members of the rebels who were willing to swear their allegiance, but he still felt doubt whether such a way could be implemented and also applied. Although human nature often changes, self-esteem is brought to death. He had also explained this to Lu Jing Yu, but his wife said that he had a way that could make this possible. So even though he did not know what kind of means Lu Jing Yu would use to execute his plan, he still agreed to let Lu Jing Yu face the Emperor and convey his idea. But on condition that he would accompany him to meet his father.
"Huh! My mom seems to love you so much that your courage is increasing every day. Say it! What do you have to make me satisfied with my proposal that you believe so much that I will grant it to you when the death penalty for the entire family of these rebels is the punishment they deserve?!" Emperor Pei An Long said sarcastically.
"Dad, not everyone in the families of these ministers knew about the betrayal committed by their family members. Many of them are babies and underage. They're all innocent of anything, they're just unlucky to be the family of these traitors. We never knew that perhaps among these children were superior seeds that in the future would likely succeed in shaking the world with their achievements. If we can accommodate and guide them, wouldn't this be more beneficial?" Clearly Lu Jing Yu with bright eyes.
"So you mean to hold them?"
"Really dad. We can set up schools and educate them. That way, they'll gain the ability but still we can control and we'll keep an eye on." Lu Jing Yu nodded her head.
"They may be small. But can you guarantee that they won't rebel when they grow up? Especially when they find out if their family members are being killed by the palace."
"That's why they'll be placed in a special place. Maybe some kind of college. They will be educated from childhood there. That way they will be monitored. After all as long as they don't get provocation from outsiders who want to take advantage of them, I'm sure they won't act as they did when they were educated to love their country." Lu Jing Yu explained further.
Emperor Pei An Long listened carefully. It was true what Lu Jing Yu said. He had seen the execution of a family when he was a child. At that time, his best friend while in college also became a victim in this execution. His best friend knew nothing about this. From then on, the little emperor Pei An Long had always thought of this matter. But this matter has gradually been eaten up by time and finally slowly forgotten.
"alright. This solution will probably work on young children. Then what about the others? They are grown up and know what is going on. How are you planning on doing for them?"
"He he's... For this I need volunteers to be an example because it would be difficult to just explain it." Lu Jing Yu smiled mischievously as she glanced at Pei Zhang Xi who was beside her. Looking at Lu Jing Yu's gaze, Emperor Pei An Long immediately understood. This brash daughter-in-law wants to make her no less brash son a guinea pig. Knowing this, he suddenly felt impatient to see it. What would this brash daughter-in-law do?
"Why see me like that?" Pei Zhang Xi felt his back coldly seeing how the two people were looking at him with their mysterious and suspicious smiles.
"Your Majesty, does Your Majesty believe me?" Lu Jing Yu asked suddenly.
"of course. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Then, Your Majesty definitely won't worry if I do something to you right?" Lu Jing Yu asked seriously.
"Well okay. Like this, I'm going to use some technique with acupuncture needles." Lu Jing Yu's reply made Pei Zhang Xi surprised.
"That's a needle like you used to heal me?" Pei Zhang Xi was once cured by Lu Jing Yu using the same needle technique. And it feels pretty painful. But it must be admitted if the technique is indeed powerful.
"Yes. That needle."
"What are you going to do with that needle?"
"It's not something that matters. Your Majesty, would you please be willing?" After he finished speaking, Lu Jing Yu pulled the tip of Pei Zhang Xi's robe and whispered a few words to him. Then, Pei Zhang Xi also said something in a whisper. Automatically, there was an Emperor who was being ignored by the two.
"What are you talking about behind my back?" Emperor Pei An Long asked angrily. But the two people ignored him because they were bargaining with each other in their own way.
"Yes, then I'm willing." Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu finally finished negotiating with Pei Zhang Xi who finally agreed to become Lu Jing Yu's guinea pig.
After living for nearly fifty years this, Emperor Pei An Long had never felt that he was in the wrong place. But today, for the first time he felt that he seemed to be in the wrong place and situation. Did he accidentally become a mosquito repellent at this time?
***
The news of the Queen Mother's death has spread throughout the Palace. Queen Zhu and the concubines had also come dressed in all-white clothes and without using the usual thick makeup. Tears seemed to flow from their eyes. Whether it's just pretending or they're really sad, no one knows. Clearly, when they came to the temoat palace of Suri's mother exhaling her last breath, their appearance looked sad. I want to be a good daughter-in-law.
Concubine Qiao was still there even though she had been taken out and forced to kneel in front of the Chamber. His messy appearance as well as his very clear voice became the center of attention of everyone who came. When someone came, Consort Qiao would say a few sentences to provoke the person. But until now, no one will respond. They considered Consort Qiao like a madman whose speech was not worth listening to.
