Chapter 728 Then just stab to death(2/2)
Many ministers thought to themselves: "Liu Bei originally wanted to use this method to keep Guan Yu, but he didn't expect that Xi Yu actually wanted to kill Guan Yu. Liu Bei was stunned."
They muttered secretly in their hearts, but their eyes kept flowing, observing the reactions of Liu Bei and Xi Yu.
Some ministers were gloating and secretly happy: "Let Liu Bei be smart, it's good to see how he ends up."
However, on the surface, they still looked solemn, without any indication, and still stood respectfully, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
Xi Yu looked like a torch, looked majestic, and said loudly: "My orders cannot be changed!"
His voice echoed in this empty court with unquestionable determination.
And this time, Liu Bei regretted so much that his intestines were blue. His face was full of regret and despair. He kowtowed again and begged for mercy and said, "Prime Minister, please let me go and spare Guan Yu!"
Xi Yu asked intentionally: "Liu Bei, since you don't want Guan Yu to die, can you die for him?"
Liu Bei was stunned, his mouth opened slightly, his eyes were full of panic, and he could not answer.
At this time, Xi Yu once again sarcasticized: "Hmph, I thought you, the three Taoyuan mercy, were so deep and loyal, and I didn't expect that you could not die for each other." The corners of his mouth were raised, with a hint of contempt.
After hearing this, Liu Bei's face turned red and even more ashamed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
The wind blew quietly, causing the palace curtain to flutter gently, as if adding a hint of coolness to the tense atmosphere.
Liu Bei never expected that Xi Yu would use this trick with him. What should I do now?
He then glanced at the other ministers, his eyes full of requests for help and expectation. However, the ministers lowered their heads, avoiding his gaze, and did not dare to look at them.
Xi Yu said with a cold face: "No one is useless to plead with mercy." His voice seemed to be frost, which reduced the temperature of the entire court a little.
Liu Bei had already regretted it, but he couldn't say it out loud. His face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up.
Xi Yu said, "Just beheaded Guan Yu at 3 o'clock this afternoon to show his warnings. Didn't the humiliated palace maid commit suicide? He also comforted the palace maid's spirit in heaven." There was no trace of pity in his eyes, only a cold decision.
At this time, the atmosphere in the court was extremely suppressed, as if even the air had solidified.
When Liu Bei heard Xi Yu's decision, his body trembled suddenly and almost collapsed to the ground.
His lips trembled, trying to say something, but in the end he just sighed powerlessly.
And just then, an old minister finally plucked up the courage to stand up, and he bowed and said, "Prime Minister, do you need to consider this matter more? General Guan has made great achievements in military affairs and has made many contributions to the country."
Xi Yu glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly: "Grade is merit, fault is fault. If this time is not severely punished, how can we correct the rules and regulations in the future?"
The old minister shook his head helplessly and retreated to the queue.
Liu Bei's eyes became empty and unconscious. He stared blankly ahead, his heart full of despair and self-blame.
He regretted his plan and put Guan Yu in such a desperate situation.
Next, Xi Yu smiled and praised loudly: "Liu Bei, you killed your relatives for justice this time. Guan Yu made a mistake and you did not cover up. This is worthy of praise!"
His words echoed in the court, but to Liu Bei's sounded like sharp irony.
Liu Bei felt very uncomfortable, as if he had eaten shit. His face was gloomy and terrifying, and he cursed in his heart: "What kind of praise is this? It's just a desperate situation to force me to the dead!"
But on the surface, he had to pretend to be grateful and gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the praise of the Prime Minister."
At this time, the atmosphere in the court was extremely strange, and everyone's thoughts were hidden deep under the seemingly calm face.
Next, Xi Yu said expressionlessly: "Cook a delicious meal for Guan Yu as soon as possible, it's a slaughtered meal, and I will be personally executed by myself."
After saying that, he shook his sleeves and turned around and announced: "I will leave the court, and everyone will discuss other things."
When Liu Bei heard this, his body shook and almost stood unsteadily.
The ministers also looked different, some of them looked unbearable, while others were secretly grateful.
After Xi Yu left, a whisper suddenly rang in the court.
Someone whispered: "What should I do? General Guan really wants to die?"
Someone also echoed: "Hey, who would have thought that this would end like this."
Liu Bei stood there blankly, his heart was as if he was upside down, and he didn't know what to do.
At this time, the sun was blocked by dark clouds, and the court seemed increasingly dark and depressed.
Xi Yu quickly returned to the guest room.
He sat on the chair and couldn't help laughing. The laughter echoed in the room: "Haha, I just want to put Liu Bei in the army and see how he can do it."
His face was full of smugness and his eyes were full of cunning.
However, after laughing, his brows gradually frowned and murmured to himself: "There is a problem next. It is impossible for him to kill Guan Yu, but how should he end with such an order?"
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and kept thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
But then he told himself that he was completely overthinking.
He patted his forehead gently and said to himself: "I'm really confused. At that time, Liu Bei will definitely tell the truth in order to make Guan Yu live."
A confident smile appeared on his face again, and his mood became much more relaxed.
But in the court, Liu Bei started to cry. His crying was heartbroken and he collapsed on the ground, without any intention of government affairs.
He cried and waved his hand and told everyone to retreat quickly!
Some ministers hoped that Liu Bei could tell the truth, but they looked anxious and wanted to speak but stopped.
But such words cannot be said, because everyone is tacitly aware of Guan Yu's affairs.
The whole court was filled with a depressing and helpless atmosphere.
After a while, everyone left, and only Liu Bei was still crying in the empty court.
His cry echoed in the silent palace, looking particularly desolate.
Tears kept pouring out of his eyes like a flood, and his shoulders trembled violently, as if they wanted to vent all the pain in their hearts.
Until a few little eunuchs came over carefully to remind him that their faces were full of fear and anxiety.
"Mr. Liu, don't be too sad." The young eunuchs said softly.
However, Liu Bei seemed to have never heard of it and was still immersed in his own sorrow.
The little eunuchs had no choice but to wink each other, stepped forward and gently helped Liu Bei up, and brought him into the room.
