Chapter 288: The Lament of the Loyal Minister

"You let go, I have nothing to do with you anymore, you and I have nothing to do with each other from now on!" Suddenly, Situ Zhentian took his hand, and Dongfang Yunji led the two sword-wielding palace ladies out of Shulan Palace.

It's just that at the moment when Dongfang Yunji broke free from Situ Zhentian's hand, a tear still rolled out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing his beloved woman leave without looking back, Situ Zhentian's whole person fell into a desperate dead silence, there was no color in his empty and godless eyes, and the whole person seemed to be pulled out of his soul.

Knowing that his general trend was gone, Situ Zhentian's whole person was already on the verge of despair, and Dongfang Yunji's resolute departure was the last straw that crushed Situ Zhentian's camel, making him instantly distracted.

Seeing that Situ Zhentian is already the same, after all, a husband and wife, a husband and wife still have a hundred days of grace in one night, not to mention that they have been a husband and wife for more than 20 years, Murong Qinglan can't bear to continue to torture and fight Situ Zhentian.

"Situ Zhentian, as long as you write the edict of Zen, after all, you and I are husband and wife, I will not harm your life, I will let you live forever in the Defeng Palace, you are indispensable for brocade clothes and jade food, and there are many beauties for you. ”

As she spoke, Murong Qinglan's fingers moved lightly, and the eunuch Situ Zhentian's "confidant" put the blank edict that had been prepared on the ground in front of Situ Zhentian, and then brought a brush very attentively.

"Chaotic ministers and thieves! Chaotic ministers and thieves!You group of chaotic ministers and thieves!" Fang Yuan suddenly scolded when he saw this scene: "You are plotting to usurp the throne, you will all die well, you will all die well." ”

However, Situ Zhentian, whose soul seemed to have been withdrawn, took over the pen like a corpse, and wrote on the edict that he passed the position of the lord of the Shen State to Murong Qinglan.

After a short time after the edict was written, Situ Zhentian threw the brush on the ground, and Situ Zhentian's "confidant" eunuch graciously picked up the edict and handed it to Murong Qinglan, who walked to the table with the edict and stamped the edict with the seal of the lord.

Handing over the edict stamped with the great seal of the lord of the country to Situ Zhentian's "confidant" eunuch for temporary safekeeping, Murong Qinglan said: "Situ Zhentian, don't worry, I will never break my promise to you." ”

Then Murong Qinglan didn't pay any attention to Situ Zhentian, and turned her eyes to Fang Yuan, who couldn't stop scolding words like "chaotic ministers and thieves" and "shameless demon women", and persuaded him earnestly.

"Captain Fang Yuan, I know that you are loyal to Situ Zhentian, but now that Situ Zhentian has given me the position of the Lord of the Shen Kingdom, it is time for your allegiance to be changed, what do you say?"

"You shameless demon woman who colludes with other men, our family has been favored by the country for generations, and it is simply wishful thinking to want our Yuan to be loyal to you, the demon woman who steals the country. Fang Yuan scolded viciously without the slightest fear.

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Murong Qinglan not only did not feel the slightest anger, but persuaded him even more seriously: "Captain Fang Yuan, why do you say this, you are simply stupid and loyal!"

"Captain Fang Yuan, don't worry, as long as you are willing to be loyal to me and let the guards outside the palace let go of the patient, I will not only give you ten thousand gold leaves, but also give you the official position of the general of the third grade, so that you Fang Yuan will grow stronger and glorify the lintel of your Fang family. ”

As he spoke, Murong Qinglan's words changed sharply, and he said coldly: "But if you don't know how to lift, your wives and concubines, your children, as well as your close relatives and three clans, will all fall to the ground because of your ignorance of lifting." ”

If Lin Mo heard Murong Qinglan's words, I am afraid he would have to give Murong Qinglan a thumbs up, this woman is really smart, she knows both seduction and coercion, and her means are not unclever!

"Glorious to the lintel of my family?" Fang Yuan snorted with extreme disdain: "If you are really loyal to you, the demon woman who steals the country with other men, it will greatly insult the name of our family's generations of loyalty." ”

"You want to steal the country, the demon woman wants to kill my wife, concubine, children, and my relatives? Then you can kill it, how can the people of my family be greedy for life and afraid of death? Even if we die, we will never let you go if we become powerful ghosts." ”

Scolding this, Fang Yuan saw that Murong Qinglan had already killed him, and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Brothers of the pro-guard army outside the door, Murong Qinglan, this demon woman conspired to usurp the throne, the lord of the country was captured, it is time to be loyal to the country." ”

"Long live the Shen Kingdom, ten thousand years for my lord!"

After shouting, Fang Yuan's eyes glared at Murong Qinglan with this extremely strong hatred, and he wiped his neck with the long sword holding his neck and chose to commit suicide, the body fell to the ground suddenly, and the blood slowly spread.

At the moment when Fang Yuan's body fell to the ground, a roar of "Long live the Shen Kingdom, my lord ten thousand years" sounded outside the door, followed by a fierce sound of swords and soldiers.

Fang Yuan fell in front of Situ Zhentian, and there was a wail outside the door, but Situ Zhentian, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have not heard or seen, and the real person was still the same blank look.

However, in the next moment, Murong Qinglan saw that Situ Zhentian's body trembled violently, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, but his empty and godless gaze regained a trace of color.

Seeing that Situ Zhentian had recovered some of his thoughts, Murong Qinglan hurriedly persuaded him: "Situ Zhentian, quickly let your guards stop, Zhang Ling led the five thousand forbidden troops lightly, if those guards resisted, they would only die." ”

However, Situ Zhentian didn't seem to hear Murong Qinglan's words, and didn't pay attention to Murong Qinglan's meaning at all, Murong Qinglan saw this, and slapped Situ Zhentian's face again, and became slightly angry.

"Situ Zhentian, look at it, you see that Captain Fang Yuan in front of you may have died for you, do you still want to send those guards who have been loyal to you for many years to their deaths? They also have their own families, can you bear to watch the guards who have been loyal to you for many years end up with a miserable end of ruined family because of you?"

Situ Zhentian wanted to continue to be silent, but Murong Qinglan's slap landed on his face, but it seemed to wake him up, and he quickly thought about Murong Qinglan's words in his mind.

Yes, this woman is right, those guards outside the door have followed her for many years, and they have always been loyal to her, do you really want them to continue to die because of herself?

No!

With his own answer in his heart, Situ Zhentian hurriedly shouted outside the door: "Everyone stop, all the guards outside the door have laid down their weapons and surrendered, don't die because of me!"

Yes, Situ Zhentian can't afford it, he can't afford the sin of all the guards outside the door who are ruined because of himself, Situ Zhentian knows that he has been defeated, completely defeated, and then let those guards outside the door die in vain for themselves, it is better to be a beast.

As soon as Situ Zhentian's roar came out, the sound of swords and soldiers outside the door quickly stopped, and Murong Qinglan saw this order The Mozong Night Scholar who pretended to be Gong'e put away his sword, let go of Situ Zhentian, and escorted Situ Zhentian to the outside of the main hall.

Outside the main hall, Murong Qinglan saw the pro-guards and the Praetorian Guards who were stalemate with each other, as well as blood and corpses all over the ground, but Murong Qinglan didn't have any feeling of disgust, as if she had long been accustomed to this kind of bloody killing scene.

Situ Zhentian and Murong Qinglan came out, and a group of pro-guards and praetorian guards turned their eyes to the two of them, as well as the two Mozong night men beside Situ Zhentian who pretended to be sword-wielding palace e, waiting for the next words.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Murong Qinglan said lightly to Situ Zhentian: "Situ Zhentian." Look at it, in less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of people have died, and whether there will be any more will be dead depends on your word. ”

Hearing Murong Qinglan's words, Situ Zhentian's body shook again, he knew that Murong Qinglan was telling himself that the hundreds of guards who were still alive and loyal to him were alive or dead, and it depended on whether he cooperated obediently.

General Xin gritted his teeth, and Situ Zhentian said loudly: "My loyal guards, as well as the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, I, Situ Zhentian, know that my virtue is at a loss, and from this moment on, I will cede the position of the lord of the Shen State to the queen, Murong Qinglan!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and some pro-guards were very unwilling to oppose it, and began to say something like "I am not afraid of death" to Situ Zhentian, which made Situ Zhentian even more moved.

Situ Zhentian also didn't expect that R himself was so mediocre now, these guards were still so loyal to him, thinking of this, Situ Zhentian couldn't bear to let them die innocently because of himself.

"My personal guards, I deeply feel your loyalty, but this is my voluntary Zen Zen to give up the position of the lord of the country, you should lay down your arms, live well, fight for the country, don't die for my Situ Zhentian personally!"

As soon as Situ Zhentian's loud words came out, a group of indignant guards immediately began to slowly quiet, but there was still a strong unwillingness on their faces, and Situ Zhentian spoke again when he saw this.

"You all lay down your arms, live well, the new lord will not treat you badly, remember that in the future, it will be my soldiers of the country, not my Situ Zhentian's personal guard, the words of the new lord, you must obey." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was silent again for a while, and as the sound of the first guard putting down his weapon sounded, the hundreds of surviving guards also slowly put down their weapons, and then they swore their loyalty to Murong Qinglan.

And at this moment, among your hundreds of guards, the first guard to "put down" his weapon is trembling, because he didn't want to put down his weapon at all, just because he had killed too many people, his hands were stained with blood, and the guy in his hand accidentally fell.

After the guards swore their loyalty to themselves, Murong Qinglan smiled very satisfied, and then the sharp eyes jumped out of the first guard to put down his weapon, and said, "Captain Fang Yuan is dead, so you will take over Fang Yuan's position as captain!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole person was stunned, and after reacting, he was immediately very grateful to Murong Qinglan and knelt down to Murong Qinglan and made a big salute: "Thank you, lord!"

It took a few more minutes to calm the emotions of the surrendered guards, and Murong Qinglan's heart moved. He immediately ordered Zhang Ling to send someone to take the hundreds of surviving guards away from Shulan Palace.

Seeing the departing guards, in front of Situ Zhentian, Murong Qinglan instructed Zhang Ling: "Commander Zhang Ling, after you disperse these hundreds of guards, you will arrange them into several large camps of the Praetorian Guard. ”

"Yes, the minister understands!" Zhang Ling said respectfully.

"Murong Qinglan, your trick is really clever!" Situ Zhentian suddenly said.
