Chapter 99: Apology

Sun Wujian was pushed by the guards and rolled on the ground.

He felt Emperor Yuan's angry eyes looking directly at him, and knew that this interrogation really couldn't be avoided, so he might as well cry and wait for an opportunity to find an opportunity.

Sun Wujian looked at his son and nephew who were kneeling on the ground with a face of disgrace, and instantly understood something, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! The minister doesn't know anything!"

Then he looked up and pointed at Yan Qiannuo, Hu Feng and them, and said with a hateful face:

"Your Majesty, it's them, it must be the evidence they fabricated to frame me and the second prince! Your Majesty, please be clear!"

Emperor Yuan looked at Sun Wujian's appearance without the slightest demeanor, and was extremely disgusted.

"It's all this time, and you're still quibbling! Do you want me to be forced into the palace by you to praise your great achievements again?"

After speaking, he slapped the dragon case with a snap.

Everyone in the hall was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Emperor Yuan listened to Sun Wujian's quibbling words, without the slightest convincing, without any touching place, he only felt noisy, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore.

The court, which has been muddyed by the prime minister all these years, is time for a major purge and restore normal order!

"I announced that I would remove Sun Wujian from the post of prime minister and Sun Wuzhe from the post of governor, and send him to prison and behead him tomorrow.

The second prince, Meng Qilin, was demoted to a commoner and was not allowed to step into the palace for half a step.

The concubine was sent to the cold palace, and no one was allowed to visit. ”

Emperor Yuan paused, eased his anger, took a deep breath and continued:

"Hu Feng, according to the evidence you submitted, those officials who have colluded with the prime minister will be dismissed and investigated one by one according to the law, and the missing personnel will be selected from those who have passed the autumn examination. ”

Hu Feng came out of the ranks, and replied with a loud voice: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Meng Qilin's face was dejected after hearing this, his legs and feet were weak and he sat on the ground, it was over, and in one moment, he fell from heaven to hell.

The throne that he thought was about to be at his fingertips was missed like this, and he never had a chance again!

Sun Wujian and Sun Wuzhe were also disheartened after hearing this, and their faces were colorless. Their plans for several years have not even had a chance to be implemented, and they have all failed in advance.

Meng Qiyuan looked at the prime minister's unwilling look, shook his head amusedly, and said to him:

"Isn't the prime minister regretting that he didn't force the palace to rebel a few days in advance? I might as well tell you, even if you are a few days in advance, we will impeach you the day before you are ready to force the palace.

It's just that the evidence may not be as strong as it is today, but it's enough to bring you down!

And...... Are you sure they listen to you?"

Sun Wujian understood when he heard this, it turned out that ...... His soldiers are no longer his, and their plans have long been known.

He was still proud that he was sure that he would be foolproof, but he didn't expect that they were already under the control of others.

To say that before entering the palace, he still had some hope that he would be able to turn over when he went out, but now he already knows that no matter how much they struggle, it is useless, and it is really completely useless.

Sun Wujian finally showed an expression of accepting reality, looked around the hall, and laughed out loud: "

Hahaha, hahaha, you really deserve to be the third prince! These right-hand men of yours are also good, and I am convinced to lose to you. ”

Then after a pause, he suddenly looked solemn, knelt down towards the Emperor Yuan, and said in a pleading tone:

"Your Majesty, these mistakes will be borne by the next person, and everything is my advice, my rebellion, and my desire for profit.

Please spare Wu Zhe and Qilin and let them live.

Concubine Niangniang also doesn't know anything about these things, please ask the emperor to read your love for many years and retract her decision to belittle her to go to the cold palace!"

After speaking, he couldn't stop kowtowing his head vigorously, hoping that the emperor would have a trace of pity and listen to what he said, and soon his forehead was broken and there was a layer of blood.

Yan Tiannuo raised his eyebrows when he saw this, but he didn't expect Sun Wujian to be spineless before he died.

Seeing his persistent appearance, Emperor Yuan wrinkled his brows and was silent, but his originally angry anger went down a little.

suddenly remembered that thirty years ago when he was still a prince and he was a seventh-grade petty official.

At that time, although Sun Wujian was a small official, he was honest and loved the people. It was precisely because he took a fancy to him that he would take him under his command, and then after becoming the emperor, he slowly promoted him.

Unexpectedly, in his repeated promotions, he lost his heart and became greedy for money and power, and later even greedy for his throne.

Emperor Yuan shook his head helplessly, no matter what Sun Wujian's character was before, but since he had done corrupt and perverted the law, he had to accept the punishment he deserved.

Seeing Emperor Yuan shaking his head, Sun Wujian thought that he disagreed, so he suddenly got up and pulled out the sword of the guard next to him, put it on his neck, and said firmly:

"Your Majesty, the ministers know that they deserve their crimes, and they will accept the punishment calmly.

I just ask you to spare my son's life and leave an incense for my grandson's family. I wish to repay the emperor by being a cow and a horse in the next life!"

After speaking, he cut his neck without hesitation, and in an instant, blood gushed out.

"Don't!" a poignant and sharp female voice sounded, and then a woman in white clothes came quickly and caught Sun Wujian's falling body.

When everyone saw it, it was Concubine Shu.

Sun Wuzhe was stunned on the spot, he didn't expect his father to cut himself directly in order to save him.

Suddenly, his body shuddered, he came back to his senses from a series of things, hurriedly ran over and hugged Sun Wujian's body, and cried bitterly and shouted:

"Father, father, it's a child who is not filial!"

Concubine Shu has been paying attention to her every move in the court recently, so when the emperor sent someone to arrest Sun Wujian, she had a bad premonition.

Then he hurriedly got up and went to the main hall, and after Sun Wujian was brought up, he had been hiding outside and eavesdropping.

The more she listened, the more frightened she became, but even when she heard that she was sent to the cold palace, her mood did not fluctuate much, for her, it was just a change of place to live.

Although the environment will be very poor, she is more concerned about Sun Wujian's execution than her own situation.

Seeing that he was alone and begging the emperor to forgive the rest of them, she knew that he had already made up his mind to die.

Seeing him apologize for his crimes, she couldn't help but rush out anymore!

She couldn't see her brother die in front of her, the brother who cared for and loved her since she was a child, the brother who had always sheltered her from the wind and rain, and the brother who comforted her when she was snubbed.

No matter how bad Sun Wujian becomes, for her, he is just the brother who has always loved her, and there is no change.

Concubine Shu trembled and hugged Sun Wujian's body, crying silently, and at the same time shaking her head incessantly, unable to believe the facts in front of her.

His blood stained her white palace skirt red, inexplicably revealing a sense of desolation and gloom.
