Chapter 556: Refusal to admit guilt
"Elder Fu, please take a look, which of these two edicts is true and which one is fake?" Shen Zeyuan said while politely handing the two edicts to Elder Fu.
Although Fu Lao followed Shen Zeyuan, he still couldn't be sloppy and biased in the matter of the emperor's edict, which one should be true, and which one had to be.
"Hehe, what to look at, you don't need to look at it to know that Shen Zeyuan's part is fake, he is a complete hypocrite!"
Shen Zecang watched Fu Lao take the two edicts with a serious face, although he was a little weak in his heart, he was still not afraid at all, and he was still reckless.
"Don't look at it, Nuo, the one on your left hand is mine, mine is real, it's been in my house for many years, I look at it every day, can I not know?"
Shen Zecang dragged the shackles and raised his chin at Fu Lao, but Fu Lao didn't want to pay attention to him at all, after all, Shen Zecang was a traitor, and the mistakes he made were enough for him to die seven or eight times.
"Shut up! There's nothing to do with you here, if you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will execute you on the spot?" Shen Zeyuan couldn't help it when he heard Shen Zecang talking nonsense all the time beside him, trying to confuse the public.
"What's the matter? Don't you dare to do it? What you do is not allowed to be said by others? Because what, just because you are the emperor?"
Shen Zecang was extremely arrogant, as if he had decided to break the jar, looking at Shen Zeyuan, who was high up, Shen Zecang smiled wildly.
"Hahahaha, you control the heavens and the earth, you can't control the mouths of your courtiers, if you are not afraid of shadows, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Zecang seemed to have been immune to Shen Zeyuan's words, even if Shen Zeyuan was the emperor, Shen Zecang still didn't take him seriously.
Shen Zeyuan saw that he was close to being unreasonable, and he didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he waved his hand directly, signaling the people around Shen Zecang to control him.
Fu Lao, who was on the side, carefully examined the two edicts, his eyes roaming back and forth on the two edicts, trying to find some differences.
But on these two edicts, except for the different names of the people who inherited the throne, all other places are the same, so that people can't see the flaws, even if they are old ministers like Fu Lao, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the fake.
"This ······ Emperor Qi, the minister felt that these two edicts seemed to be true. Fu Lao hesitated to say a word, but after speaking, he shook his head as if he was denying himself.
At this moment, Shen Zeyuan also began to be a little flustered, after all, even Fu Lao couldn't see it, so who else could prove that Shen Zecang was lying?
"No, wait a minute, let the old minister take a closer look. At this time, Fu Lao seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and brought one of the edicts close to his eyes.
In fact, there are no two edicts at all, just like Shen Zeyuan thought, this is just Shen Zecang talking nonsense, and there are some problems with the seal on the fake edict that Shen Zecang brought.
Shen Zeyuan didn't panic at all after seeing Fu Lao's action, and looked like he was holding the chance to win, and after Fu Lao looked at it for a while, he seemed to have discovered the clue.
After comparing Shen Zecang's fake edict with Shen Zeyuan's real edict, Fu Lao finally discovered the problem, but it was just that the seal was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.
But these are enough, and it can already show that Shen Zecang is talking nonsense.
"Let me ask you, since you keep saying that this edict of yours is true, where did this edict come from?"
Fu Lao put the two edicts behind his back and asked with a serious face, he thought, even if Shen Zecang's edict was true, then how did he get this edict.
Hearing Fu Lao ask about the origin of his edict, Shen Zecang was already a little flustered at this time, but he didn't want to mess with himself, so he argued with reason.
"You don't care about this, as long as my edict is true!"
Seeing that Shen Zecang was still stiff-mouthed when he was dying, Fu Lao sighed and directly questioned Shen Zecang again: "Okay, then why didn't you take it out before?
"This ······ Hehe, I said you don't have to worry about this, just prove that my edict is true, what does it matter where it came from?"
Shen Zecang's eyes dodged, obviously starting to hurry, and when answering Fu Lao's words, Shen Zecang's hand kept unconsciously buttoning his pants.
Fu Lao has gone through three dynasties, and he can naturally see through all kinds of small tricks and small actions at a glance, and when he saw Shen Zecang's small actions, Fu Lao immediately understood in his heart that Shen Zecang was really panicking.
"Stop quibbling, I advise you to turn back now. Fu Lao sighed and said an ambiguous sentence.
It's a pity that Shen Zecang didn't want to hear this kind of thing at all, and now he may really believe that he is the real emperor.
So Shen Zecang suddenly spat in the direction of Shen Zeyuan, and then cursed: "Phew! he is the fake emperor, the real emperor should be me!"
Seeing that Shen Zecang had begun to get angry, Fu Lao didn't want to show him any more mercy, and said directly: "Enough, since Shen Zeyuan has ascended the throne, I just want to assist him in peace." ”
"Besides, the emperor has been in power for many years, and the wind and rain have been smooth every year, and the politics are clear, when have there been natural and man-made disasters? This is also the will of God. ”
Speaking of this, Fu Lao suddenly looked at Shen Zecang, changed to an angry tone, and began to criticize Shen Zecang: "But what about you, it is obviously an era of political clarity, you have to destroy it with your own hands." ”
Shen Zecang looked at Fu Lao, his face didn't matter, but this time he angered Shen Zeyuan, Shen Zeyuan himself had tolerated Shen Zecang from the beginning, but now that he had reached this point, he really couldn't bear it.
"Shut up, when will it be your turn to be disrespectful to Fu Lao?" Shen Zeyuan roared angrily, let out a dragon threat, looked at Shen Zecang, and began to explain the crimes committed by Shen Zecang one by one.
"Article 1, the criminal Shen Zecang, privately colluded with the eldest princess of the Wu Kingdom, colluded with foreign enemies, and was guilty of treason!" Shen Zeyuan looked at Shen Zecang below coldly.
"The second one, embezzling silver and silver, making the people in the disaster area miserable, bribing the ministers, and trying to empty the court!" Shen Zeyuan became more and more angry, but his voice was unusually calm.
"In the end, you forged the holy decree and blasphemed the first emperor, can you be guilty?" Shen Zeyuan didn't want to get angry anymore, the crimes he listed above, no matter which one was dragged out, was enough for Shen Zecang to be executed.
But Shen Zecang still refused to admit his guilt, shook his head again and again, Shen Zeyuan looked at Shen Zecang who was dying and struggling, and his abdomen was injured and began to ache faintly.
