Chapter 701 Persuasion
Things have come to this, Lu Xiaoning can only persuade him.

"Your majesty should have his own considerations. After all, the news of the brother's quarrel with the wall may shake the foundation of the Great Zhou and cause chaos. After all, your father's reputation was at its peak. If your father's supporters and people who love him know the truth , will definitely spare no effort to seek justice for your father, and force the emperor to severely punish the murderer. If I remember correctly, Beidi and Xirong had already formed an alliance at that time..."

Since receiving the mysterious letter, Lu Xiaoning has supplemented a lot of knowledge, and has a general understanding of the external situation and the internal situation since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, it is also possible that the emperor is reluctant to kill the only two remaining sons, which is also understandable. Let me ask, if it was her own child who made trouble like this, could she really kill the other one cruelly?
But now that Huangfu Shaoye is the victim, she knows very well that at this time, she can only persuade him from the overall situation.

Huangfu Shaoye nodded: "I know, if I change places, maybe I will make the same choice, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

The emperor has the emperor's considerations, and he also has his own considerations, not to mention the revenge of killing his father, not to mention that they have secretly murdered him many times over the years, it is because Zhao Wang and Qin Wang have been secretly colluding with Beidi Xirong, and even secretly traded weapons and horses In many peace talks, at the expense of the interests of the Great Zhou in exchange for the support of the enemy, it is already a hundred deaths and no redemption.

If they were smarter and cut themselves off, he would also consider sending people from the two prefectures lightly. Otherwise, even if they were demoted to common people and sent to a poor place, he would try to make them die without a burial.

"Anyway, you have found out the truth, and King Zhao and King Qin are destined to end badly. I think your father will understand you if he lives in heaven." Lu Xiaoning said.

Seeing the deep sadness between his brows, Lu Xiaoning really wanted to hug him, perhaps, this kind of comfort is more effective than a hundred words of persuasion.But she still hid her hands in her sleeves after all.

Huangfu Shaoye really wanted to shake her hand. God knows how much he needs her. Before, he never thought that he would be so dependent on someone spiritually. As long as he held her hand, he would feel very peaceful in his heart. , As long as she is by his side, she will be able to produce infinite courage, and all difficulties and dangers are nothing.

But after all, he couldn't stretch out his hand and hold her hand, who was close at hand. He was satisfied that she could walk with him and comfort him.

When he sorts out everything, he won't let her suffer the damned reason that can threaten her in silence.

The red lantern in his hand was swaying in the night wind, and the leaves not far away were rustling by the wind. The two walked side by side, keeping a distance of one, towards the Zichen Hall, the center of the palace.

"I'm here." Lu Xiaoning stopped outside Zichen Hall and said.

Huangfu Shaoye looked at her reluctantly, thinking to himself, this palace is still too small, and it took only a short while to arrive.

"Then you should pay attention to rest yourself, don't be too tired." Huangfu Shaoye reminded.

Xi Wu reported her situation to him every day, and her injury had already healed, but it was still very hard to guard the emperor day and night, and no one else could do these things for him, Huangfu Shaoye was distressed but helpless.

"Well, you too." Lu Xiaoning said.

Recently, everyone has been haggard, and even he has dark circles under his eyes.

"Well, we all have to take care, the days to come will be long." Huangfu Shaoye pointed out.

Lu Xiaoning acted as if he didn't understand the deep meaning in his words, gave a blessing, turned and entered the Zichen Palace.

Huangfu Shaoye stared blankly at the closed door for a long time before turning around and leaving.

Before dawn, Lu Xiaoning was woken up by Xiwu: "Miss, I just heard someone report that King Zhao hanged himself from the beam in the prison last night."

"What?" Lu Xiaoning was so shocked by the news that he lost sleepiness.

"It's true. I left a letter of repentance. I was supposed to report it directly to the emperor, but Eunuch Gao suppressed it for the time being, saying that he would tell the emperor when the emperor is in better condition." Xi Wu said.

Lu Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that Eunuch Gao didn't report directly to the emperor, the emperor was tired from the long journey yesterday, it may take two or three days to recover, it is really inappropriate to tell the emperor this news at this time.

In fact, the emperor didn't want to kill King Zhao and King Qin, but King Zhao committed suicide suddenly. Presumably, it was related to Huangfu Shaoye's visit to King Zhao last night. Then King Zhao thought he was doomed, so he decided to commit suicide and stayed behind. The letter of repentance, in this way, maybe the emperor can lightly punish the people in Zhao Wangfu, so that they will not be exterminated.

Zhao Wang is quite smart, otherwise, if he is not dead now, he will not let him go when Huangfu Shaoye ascends the throne. She is very sure of this, because he knows Huangfu Shaoye too well.

"Xiwu, wait for me to change my clothes." She had to tell Eunuch Gao quickly, and when she could say it, she had to approve it, otherwise, no one would think about it this year.

Two days later, the emperor finally knew that his second prince had committed suicide. After reading the letter of repentance left by King Zhao, the emperor was speechless for a while, only his face was pale and frightening.

Subsequently, the decree on how to deal with King Zhao and King Qin came down.

All the wives and sons and heirs of the two mansions were demoted to common people, the people from Zhao Wang's mansion were sent to Liangzhou, and the people from Qin Wang's mansion were sent to Ezhou.

It can be regarded as saving the lives of people from the two prefectures.

The empress was deposed, and she was given a length of white silk. All the male members of the Cui family over the age of 12 were beheaded, and the female relatives were assigned to Mobei, and they were not allowed to leave Mobei for three generations.

As for the other people involved, they will be handed over to Huangfu Shaoye.

Lu Xiaoning couldn't help worrying about Lin Ruoyu, and went to find the concubine Xian, to see if she could show mercy outside the law.

Concubine Xian said: "You are already the fourth person to intercede for Lin Ruoyu. Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Du have just left."

Lu Xiaoning said: "After all, it's about sisters. Sister Lin was very unwilling to marry into Prince Qin's mansion back then."

She was forced to marry, and it was the emperor's order that forced her. It is hard to violate the emperor's order, but now Lin Ruoyu is implicated, it is really unreasonable.

"That's right, the emperor asked Mr. Xu Ge to come forward to persuade him. It's alright. I won't ignore this matter. I will go and talk to the emperor later. After all, Grand Master Lin has always been loyal to the emperor. He didn't know about the incident in Prince Qin's residence." Concubine Xian said.

In the evening, after discussing with the emperor, the concubine Xian told Lu Xiaoning that the emperor decided to let Huangfu Shaozhuo write a letter of reconciliation and let Lin Ruoyu go home.

Lu Xiaoning finally heaved a sigh of relief, this was already the best result Lin Ruoyu could get, although it was still very unfair.
