Mu Chen and the others left the Jianguo Temple, and the snow had not stopped when they left.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Sima Yunxuan couldn't wait to ask, "Big brother, what did you say?" ”

Mu Chen looked around, but there was no one, so he quietly told Sima Yunxuan the content of the conversation between the two.

Sima Yunxuan lost his voice and said, "What? Why is this the case? ”

Mu Chen sighed, "I shouldn't have told you, but I don't have the right to meddle in this matter."

Sima Yunxuan said, "What about Uncle Zhong?" Does he know about it? ”

Mu Chen said, "If he knew about this, he wouldn't have stayed in prison, he should have been smart a long time ago, and he chose to hand over the military power, and there would be not so many things."

Sima Yunxuan said, "No, I'll go tell my father" As he spoke, he was about to go out of the door.

Mu Chen immediately stopped him and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Sima Yunxuan said, "Uncle Zhi, this is for the country, and you must not be wronged like this"

Mu Chen said, "Wronged? The emperor obviously knew the whole story, how could he not know that Zhang Qianzhi was wronged? Do you need to talk about this? ”

Sima Yunxuan was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Mu Chen continued, "What's more, Zhang Qianzhi exchanged his innocence for the emperor's good name, although this is unfair, but it is his own decision, and he has already taken all the responsibility, if he is released now, what is it?" Do you want the emperor to become a faint monarch known to the whole world from now on? ”

Sima Yunxuan suddenly sat on the ground with his head down. He was powerless to refute, and Mu Chen's words were like nails, nailing his restless heart to the plank, making him have to settle down.

Mu Chen sighed and said, "What's more, Zhang Qianzhi is not dead now, and the crime of destroying the sacrificial ceremony will not kill him."

Sima Yunxuan was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from tomorrow.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Everyone was gathered in the lobby, and everyone chattered and discussed, they didn't know what the purpose of this sudden decree was.

Zhang Qianli held the holy decree in his hand and stood in front of everyone.

He opened the holy decree and said, "Sima Yunxuan listens to the decree"

Immediately the people fell to their knees.

Sima Yunxuan said, "Erchen is here"

"Because the sacrificial ceremony is a blessing for the prosperity of our country, and it is also a grand ceremony to promote exchanges among nations, it is really important. Today, Zhang Qianzhong and Zhang Qianzhi destroyed the ceremony, which had a bad impact, humiliated our country's body, and hurt our country's fortunes. Zhang Qianzhong is now ordered to return to his home, imprisoned for three years, and cannot leave the capital without an order within three years, dismiss the general, and confiscate military power. Zhang Qianzhi was cunning and ruined the society for his own desires, so he was sentenced to death and executed at the South City Gate three days later to prove his crime. Ordered the crown prince Sima Yunxuan to be beheaded, and there must be no mistake. Chin!"

When Zhang Qianli read this paragraph, anyone could hear his voice trembling and his face twitching. It was clear that he didn't want to read these things out at all, and he was even less willing to accept them.

By the time he finished reading, his face was already full of tears.

Zhang Qianli was about to close the holy decree, when Sima Yunxuan suddenly stood up, strode forward, snatched the edict, and began to watch.

After a while, Zhang Qianli said in a trembling voice, "Useless prince, no one can save the second brother"

Sima Yunxuan slowly closed the edict and shouted, "Come on, surround the prince's mansion for me, no one is allowed to go out without my order."

After that, he had already rushed out of the prince's mansion. Bian Xiaofeng wanted to step forward to stop him, but Mu Chen grabbed him. Bian Xiaofeng looked at Mu Chen in surprise, but Mu Chen was expressionless and didn't speak, just quietly looked at Sima Yunxuan's departing back.

It was very quiet outside the Prince's Mansion, and there was no sound inside the Prince's Mansion, and even the sound of people coming and going on the street could no longer be heard.

Because the soldiers have surrounded the prince's mansion, where does anyone dare to approach?

In the lobby, everyone sat in silence. No one spoke, they were all waiting for the others to speak first, or they were all waiting for Mu Chen to speak first, but Mu Chen was just sitting, as if in a daze, or in contemplation, in short, there was no meaning to speak.

Bian Xiaofeng finally couldn't help it, and said, "Big brother, do you know where the third brother has gone?" ”

Mu Chen didn't speak.

Bai Chutian answered, "Probably to meet the emperor"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "The third brother is unwilling to accept the order, with his character, he entered the palace like this, and openly opposed the emperor's intentions, do you know what this means?" ”

Zhang Qianli slowly, said, "Resisting the will is not respectful, and it is not a big rebellion"

Bian Xiaofeng Huo Ran looked at Mu Chen and said, "In that case, why didn't the eldest brother let me stop him?" ”

Mu Chen finally spoke, "Since he asked people to fence this place, it is just to prevent us from interfering with his thoughts, he is the crown prince and the future master of this country, why should we care so much?" ”

Bian Xiaofeng said, "You ......" He wanted to say something, but he suddenly thought of something, and immediately closed his mouth again.

Mu Chen looked at Zhang Qianli and asked, "What is Mr. Zhang's official position?" ”

Zhang Qianli said lightly, "The Book of Rites"

Mu Chen said, "What about General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Qianli said, "Big brother, the official worships the general"

Mu Chen continued to ask, "Among the Zhang family brothers, who has the lowest official position?" ”

Zhang Qianli thought for a while and said, "Sixth brother, Qianxin"

Mu Chen said, "What is your job?" ”

Zhang Qianli said, "The waiter of the Ministry of Works"

Mu Chen suddenly didn't speak, but Zhang Qianli asked, "What are you asking for?" ”

Mu Chen said, "I'm just curious"

Zhang Qianli said: "Curious, what's the matter? ”

Mu Chen said: "Why can the Zhang brothers have such a status? ”

Zhang Qianli snorted coldly and said, "We have followed the emperor since before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and in this world, our brothers and the emperor fought together, and they contributed a lot of strength, and naturally their official rank was high."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Reasonable, reasonable"

The Royal Palace, the Great Hall.

The door of the hall was closed, and Sima Shao was sitting on the dragon chair in the hall.

In front of him stood Lin Hongyue.

Sima Shao said, "You came to find me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Lin Hongyue said, "The grass people are willing to give a word to Your Majesty"

Sima Shao said "speak"

Lin Hongyue said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty has to agree to a request from the grass people first"

Sima Shao said, "Do you want me to agree to your request?" I'm afraid there's something wrong with my ears? ”

Lin Hongyue said, "Your Majesty can not agree, but has Your Majesty ever thought about the taste of being ruined?" ”

Sima Shao said coldly: "What did you say?" ”

Lin Hongyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty's plan to kill people with a knife is very clever, others can't see it, although the grass people are dull, but they can also see it."

Sima Shao's face was solemn, and he said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Lin Hongyue smiled and said, "I don't want to force Your Majesty, I just hope that Your Majesty can go with me."

Sima Shao sneered: "What way? ”

Lin Hongyue straightened up and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor, don't you have the slightest ambition in the face of this troubled world?" ”

Sima Shao didn't speak.

Lin Hongyue continued, "I can see that Your Majesty's ambition is by no means smaller than that of any other person. The path that the grass people want to choose with His Majesty is the road that sweeps the world and establishes a great cause for a thousand years."

Sima Shao's eyes seemed to glow after hearing this, but there was still no change in expression on his face, he just said coldly, "Are you here to win me over?" ”

Lin Hongyue said, "I just invited Your Majesty to go with you, not to force it, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, then ......"

Sima Shao said, "If I don't agree, don't you have to threaten me?" ”

Lin Hongyue didn't answer this question, just bent over and said, "If Your Majesty is unwilling to go on the same road with the grass people, the grass people naturally want to avoid possible troubles on this road."

Sima Shao's expression became heavier, he had fully understood what Lin Hongyue meant, if he didn't agree, he would become Lin Hongyue's trouble, and Lin Hongyue naturally had to find a way to solve him.

It stands to reason that he doesn't need to be afraid at all as an emperor, but since Lin Hongyue knows about that, Sima Shao has every reason to believe that Lin Hongyue can indeed deal with him.

Sima Shao said, "Is it okay for Rong Zhen to consider this matter?" ”

Lin Hongyue said, "Your Majesty can consider it, the grass people are waiting here"

He is invisibly persecuting Sima Shao.

Lin Hongyue continued: "If Your Majesty is allied with the grass people, the Southern Dynasty can send troops in the name of Your Majesty, if it succeeds, when the world is calm, we can respect Your Majesty as the emperor, why should Your Majesty hesitate?" ”

He pressed forward step by step, and Sima Shao's head was already sweating.

At this moment, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "The prince asks to see"

Sima Shao immediately said, "Let him come in!"

Lin Hongyue said, "It is inconvenient for the grass people and the prince to meet, so the grass people should avoid it first"

Sima Shao nodded and let him hide behind the pillar.
