Chapter 515 A farce

Seeing that the situation was beyond recovery, Master Liu glared at the provocative Master Zhong angrily, and roared, "Zhong Zhi, you are a stalker! Villain!"

"My lord, don't talk about lowering officials like that. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. My lord has already reached the first rank of Shangshu, and I can't get promoted. Don't stop me from being promoted!"

Master Zhong said shamelessly, and Master Liu was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Pei Xiu hooked her lips and said meaningfully, "Everyone wants to be promoted, but they have to be smarter and see the situation clearly. If they are blind and blind, and rush forward foolishly, it doesn't look like a promotion." , it seems to have stretched its neck and waited for someone to chop it off."

Mr. Zhong sneered, "Master Xiang is clever, but he is only clever. At the critical moment, he is timid and timid. It is difficult to make a big deal! The prince has been plotting rebellion for so many days. If the queen is not dead, why is there still no news at all? No? The dragon chairs have been snatched away, and the queen didn't respond at all, isn't that strange?"

"Perhaps, His Majesty is just waiting for people like Mr. Zhong to jump out before appearing? After all, Mr. Zhong also said that when people go to high places and water flows to low places, the officials below also want to go up. If If there are a few vacancies at the top, where can the bottom go to be promoted?"

Pei Xiu's leisurely demeanor and smiling face made Mr. Zhong suspicious, thinking that Pei Xiu had received some news that made him so confident in the queen.

Similarly, King Xi Cheng also became suspicious.

He wanted to lock Pei Xiu up alone last time, but he was afraid that if this happened, there would be no silver of 300 taels here, so he simply threw him in the Jinluan Hall too. Unexpectedly, after five days and five nights of starvation, Pei Xiu looked so good Very, still looking radiant and handsome as jade.

King Xi Cheng and Li Yi exchanged glances, and they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

King Xi Cheng's eyes turned cold, his murderous intent flickered, and he glanced in Pei Xiu's direction. Li Yi understood what he meant and showed hesitation. King Xi Cheng's face sank, Li Yi clapped his hands helplessly, Hundreds of armed soldiers rushed in, pointing their swords at the officials.

"I'll ask again for the last time, do you want to be buried for Feng Jin, or submit to me? As long as you submit, I promise you that I will never treat you badly. All first-rank officials will be enshrined as marquises and rewarded with gold and silver fertile fields! Officials below the second rank will be promoted and rewarded."

This condition has to be said to be very attractive, but the Golden Luan Hall is still quiet.

"One of the first rank can be named a marquis, so isn't it true that you want to be named a king?"

Pei Xiu's smiling voice broke the silence, King Xicheng's eyes darkened, but he still smiled and said, "If you obey, it's not impossible to make you king!"

"Hearing what the prince said, the truth is really moving."

Pei Xiu smiled slightly, seeing that the King of Xi Cheng was about to intensify his efforts to persuade him to capitulate, a smiling voice suddenly came from outside the door, "This makes my heart move, it's not Pei Xiu who I know alone."

The Jinluan Hall was suddenly deathly quiet, everyone looked towards the door in unison, some were frightened, some were pleasantly surprised, it could be described as a world of ice and fire.

As soon as the smiling voice fell, a tall and tall figure appeared at the door. The sun was rising, and the sun shone from behind him, making him fall into the light and shadow. As deep and bright as a vast starry sky.

Wuming raised his foot and walked in, Lord Qi and the others knelt down immediately, their voices trembling with excitement, "I'm waiting to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

Everyone thought that the emperor was dead, even if there was a rescue soldier falling from the sky, it would be the queen, but unexpectedly it was the emperor.

King Xi Cheng's legs were weak, and he was unwilling to fail. He glanced at Li Yi. At this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and Li Yi couldn't care less. With an order, the soldiers' swords rushed towards Wu Famous assassins go.

Wuming walked towards the dragon chair with steady steps as if he hadn't seen it.

As soon as the soldiers approached Wuming, they were ejected by an invisible force and fell heavily to the ground, all of them passed out.

King Xi Cheng was finally scared, turned around and wanted to run, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move, so he could only watch Wuming getting closer and closer.

Wuming sat down on the dragon chair, and lightly patted King Xi Cheng's shoulder beside him. King Xi Cheng felt a heavy force push him down, making his knees go limp, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"My dear friends are also tired, go back and rest, and you will be exempted from court tomorrow."

The ministers did not leave, Qi Che asked anxiously, "Dijun, where is Your Majesty?"

"A Jin and Yao'er have returned to the palace. Tired from the journey, she is very tired. If you want to see her, you can enter the palace tomorrow."

Seeing that his mind was punctured, Qi Che smiled embarrassedly.

Wuming said, and took a deep look at Shen Wenqing, "As for Shen Aiqing, she should go back to the Shen residence, Mrs. Shen is waiting for you."

Since he is back, Shen Wenqing should not stay in the palace, it is an eyesore.

Shen Wenqing looked a little uncomfortable, so she agreed.

The officials who voted for King Xicheng thought that the emperor would take the opportunity to deal with them, but the emperor let them go back without saying anything. Even Li Yi, the number one supporter of King Xicheng, the emperor let him go back.

Even King Xicheng himself, who was seeking to usurp the throne, the emperor just said lightly: "Second Emperor Uncle, you must never do this again in the future." Then he was sent back to the Xicheng Palace in the imperial capital.

The emperor's tone was like an elder talking to a mischievous child. It was clear that King Xi Cheng was the elder, and it was also clear that King Xi Cheng was not a mischievous child, but a conspiracy to kill the nine clans.

A violent rebellion ended so silently that the big guys didn't even react.

No one knew how the emperor and the empress returned to the palace. The four gates of the four cities were strictly checked, no sergeant had seen them, and all the doors of the palace were closed. Take control.

And the generals who were imprisoned by Li Yi before were released somehow and took control of the army, and all the imperial forest army and city defense army left King Xicheng immediately after the emperor and queen returned.

A treason was like a farce played by children, no one died, and the Empress had never dealt with anyone, as if she didn't care about the treason.

On the contrary, Li Yi had a guilty conscience and voluntarily resigned from his official position, but the queen didn't persuade him to stay or say anything, so it was okay.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was empty, and everyone thought that Qi Che must have got this good position, but who knew that it was General Liu, who originally belonged to the Zhong family army, and Zhong Mo's rebellion and downfall did not implicate him.

Only then did everyone know that the empress does not only use cronies, as long as she is capable and loyal, she will be reused.

But after King Xicheng returned to the palace, the queen didn't punish him, and let him take care of him with delicious food and drink, but King Xicheng was always worried that the queen would attack him, so he thought that the queen sent someone to assassinate him. She refused to eat rice, and she refused to drink water, for fear that the empress would poison the food and drink.

When the news reached the palace, Feng Jin felt speechless.

"Your Majesty, do you want to explain to him that His Majesty didn't want to touch him at all?"

Pei Xiu smiled slightly. Feng Jin felt that he was gloating. She glanced at him and said angrily, "You think he will believe me when I explain it? He probably thinks I'm hypocritical. Besides, a conspiracy My lord, it is enough for Long En to leave his life, and if he insists on seeking death, I will go to save him? I am not such a good person!"

She paused, then smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, the princes were dead, Guan was closed, King Zhongshan died in the wind of a horse, and King Jiangdong was beheaded by Qi Che. If one comes to death from fright, that's fine." interesting."

Feng Jin just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to become a prophecy.

Not long after, King Xi Cheng fell ill.

In less than a month, King Xi Cheng frightened himself to death.

The four brothers of the first emperor have all died since then.

"Hey."

In the imperial study room, Feng Jin let out a long sigh, Wuming put down the ink pen, and smiled softly, "What's the matter? I sighed early in the morning."

"Wu Ming, you said, the four emperor uncles did not end well, will the common people think that I don't care about the ethics of family affection, and that I am too ruthless?"

Wuming beckoned to her, Feng Jin walked over, squeezed into a chair with him, Wuming gently stroked her hair, and said softly, "Ah Jin, the common people don't care if the prince of the royal family dies or not." A few, they only care about whether you can make the country stable, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, have houses to live in, clothes to wear, things to do, and food to eat. If you can’t, no matter how kind you are, it’s useless. "
