Minister: "Your Majesty must consider the future of the Eastern Chu Kingdom."
Minister: "Our Eastern Chu Kingdom must not be destroyed by this disaster star. The Jiangnan Grain Storehouse must be secured, and the lifeline of the Eastern Chu Kingdom must be protected. Nothing is more important than these two."
The ministers passionately presented their counsel, unafraid of life and death.
Initially, only a few spoke up, but gradually, more voices joined in, each demanding Emperor Yongning to kill Jun Ning.
Merely giving counsel was not enough. In the court, all the ministers knelt down.
They shouted: "Your Majesty, please prioritize state affairs and immediately execute the Eighteen Princes!"
Emperor Yongning was almost driven to the point of drawing his sword to kill those who first incited him to eliminate Jun Ning. But seeing that everyone wanted him to kill Jun Ning, he suddenly laughed in anger.
Is this relying on the law's incapability to punish everyone?
