The king of Chu stepped forward, glanced at him, took the confession, and handed it to the emperor.

Cheng Wei hurriedly brought the night pearl in his hand closer.

After reading it, the emperor took a slow breath, and then glared at An Ninghou on the ground.

"Weichen see His Majesty."

The group led by Shen Guanyu walked to the courtyard and knelt on the ground with their robes on.

An Ninghou raised his head, the cold sweat on his forehead flew faster, even the Shen family's father and son and Gu Zhicheng were there, how many people were hidden in this courtyard! And at this moment, he finally realized that Dong Shun brought him here may be a trap that has been designed a long time ago, he must have conspired with Han Ji to dig a pit and wait for him to jump down!

Han Ji...... He raised his head suddenly, glaring fiercely at Han Ji.

Han Ji happened to receive his gaze and raised his eyebrows at him happily and pleasantly.

When the emperor saw Shen Gu and the three of them coming, some displeasure welled up on his face.

Gu Zhicheng was originally a pioneer general in the army, so he didn't believe that he didn't notice that the brocade clothes who were surrounded on all sides were willing to show up until he showed up, was this a deliberate attempt to provoke him to express his position? Although I was unhappy in my heart, I was helpless at this point. Said slowly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Majesty!" Shen Mi took the lead in speaking out after getting up, "Anning Hou Liu Yan is guilty of murder and arson, and set up a conspiracy to murder Wei Chen's little daughter, Wei Chen implores His Majesty to severely punish An Ning Hou according to the law, so as to give an explanation to the people of the world, and also wash away the black smoke and miasma under the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"陛xià! Liu Yan deliberately killed people and intended to plant blame, and vainly tried to provoke contradictions between the ministers of civil and military affairs. I implore Your Majesty to order the Marquis of An Ning to be hanged to set an example! Gu Zhicheng also spoke loudly.

An Ninghou's face was like ashes, and he stepped forward on his knees and grabbed the corner of the emperor's robe: "Your Majesty spare your life!" Majesty xià spare your life! The sinner didn't mean to kill! ”

"You don't have the intention of killing people, you just deliberately provoke contradictions between civil ministers and military generals and disrupt the national program." Han Ji looked at him coldly, and then bowed to the emperor: "Weichen was going to go to Yuxi Bridge with his younger brother tonight to put the lights, but he accidentally encountered a fire in the Pure Water Nunnery, and then when he went inside to search, he happened to meet Gu Song who wanted to kill Miss Shen at the instigation of the people in the Dongcheng camp, and in a hurry, he rescued Miss Shen and brought her out.

After that, he was going to escort Miss Shen back to his home, but then he was chased and killed. Weichen hid Miss Shen and caught the other party's killer, and then he found out the ins and outs, and then sent someone to send a letter to Shen Mansion to ask Lord Shen to come and pick up people, so that he could explain it in person. Unexpectedly, An Ninghou was not dead in his thief's heart, and rushed over in person.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to come in person, which shows that the Skynet is magnificent and negligent but not leaky, God has eyes, so that An Ninghou's crime on the spot was exposed, although Wei Chen had no intention of getting involved in this whirlpool, but His Majesty Xi à must have heard it clearly, this An Ning Hou actually wanted to blame Wei Chen after framing Gu Song and killing people unsuccessfully, just by virtue of this, Wei Chen also implored His Majesty Xi à to do justice for the subjects of the world."

"Han Ji! You're going to fan the flames! An Ninghou trembled with fear, turned his head and angrily pointed at Han Ji and scolded.

Before he could say the next sentence, the king of Chu also spoke: "Father, the Marquis of An Ning set fire to kill people and provoked courtiers, and his crime should be punished." ”

The emperor gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Guanyu, who had not yet expressed his position: "Shen Aiqing, why don't you speak?" ”

When he opened his mouth, he gave An Ninghou a wake-up call-Shen Guanyu, isn't Shen Guanyu the queen's person? How dare he follow Han Ji and them to deal with him? He didn't dare, he wouldn't dare! He raised his eyes and looked at him, this old man was resourceful, the queen had spent so much effort to get him, he must have a way to keep him safe!

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, don't you believe you can ask Lord Shen?" He tugged at the corner of the emperor's robe, pointed at Shen Guanyu with one hand, turned his head to look over, and stared at Shen Guanyu's eyes again: "Lord Shen, can you prove my innocence?" Tell the emperor, I didn't think about provoking the contradictions between the Shen and Gu families at all! Say it! ”

His eyes seemed to be glued to him, this was his only chance to get away with it, Shen Guanyu would definitely be able to protect him, and he had to protect him!

Thinking of this, he calmed down, because he knew that the Shen family was important in Shen Guanyu's mind, and he knew how important Shen Mi was to him!

"Shen Aiqing?" The emperor looked at Shen Guanyu suspiciously.

A trace of worry slipped through Shen Mi's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

King Chu and Han Ji also looked at Shen Guanyu.

Gu Zhicheng reprimanded angrily: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, you still say that you have wronged, Liu Yan, are you still treating us as fools when you are dying?!" ”

An Ninghou raised his head, with a hint of a sinister smile, and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Gu Shizi, what are you anxious about?" Lord Shen is Miss Shen's own grandfather, if he can prove that this is just a misunderstanding, what else can you say? ”

The emperor locked his eyebrows: "Shen Aiqing, do you have something to say?" ”

The eyes of the people present all looked at Shen Guanyu.

Shen Guanyu pondered for a moment, suddenly knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no words to refute An Ninghou's words. ”

An Ninghou's shoulders relaxed, and the smugness at the corners of his lips became more obvious.

The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter: "What does this mean?" ”

Shen Guanyu looked ahead and said slowly: "The old minister was an old minister of the previous dynasty, and he should have been exiled to apologize for his sins to atone for the sins of the old minister, thanks to the love of the first emperor, not only exempted the old minister's sins, but also gave him an official position, and in the hands of His Majesty, it was even more of a favor to the old minister's father and son." The old minister felt that the monarch was long, and he acted and spoke like walking on thin ice, for fear of losing the monarch's grace.

"An Ninghou pulled the old minister, because the old minister's identity was embarrassing, so he intended to use my trembling heart to overturn the case, the old minister was full of grievances at the moment, and he didn't refute An Ninghou, and he didn't refute it. If I don't refute it, the old minister can't denounce the thief for the children and grandchildren who have been wronged, it's the old thief who is unkind, and the ancestors under Jiuquan will also spit on me with the world.

"If I refute it, An Ninghou's words seem to have bad deeds with me, and if I refute it, I will be suspicious of clearing myself. Therefore, the old minister really didn't know whether to refute it, and whether he should come forward to prove that the dozen or so lives of the Pure Water Nunnery, and that he tricked Gu Song into killing the old minister's granddaughter was a misunderstanding, as An Ninghou said. ”

After finishing speaking, the smugness of An Ninghou immediately froze on his face, and the faces of Gu Zhicheng, the king of Chu, and others also appeared a little suddenly, and the emperor's complexion also eased.

The four words of the relict ministers of the previous dynasty are like a mountain pressing on the head of the Shen family, this Shen family knows, the civil and military officials know, and the emperor also knows! As soon as he said this, what could An Ninghou Fangcai's words be if he didn't bully him, his identity was embarrassing, and he splashed sewage by unscrupulous means?

A courtier who has to guard against others making an article about their status as a relict of the former dynasty day and night is of course very convenient to use as a gunman.

An Ninghou was so bold that he blatantly threatened Shen Guanyu to testify on his behalf in front of his life!

The peaceful marquis in the emperor's eyes at this moment is already as unbearable as dirty water.

"Shen Guanyu! Don't you want to die?! An Ninghou got up, pointed at Shen Guanyu's nose angrily, and before he could make any further movements, the Jinyi Division next to him, together with Gu Zhicheng, had already restrained him to the ground!

The emperor said angrily: "You dare to speak out in front of me to intimidate the officials of the imperial court and tie up this guy to me!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Guanyu again: "Shen Aiqing!" What to do with this thief, you say! ”

Shen Guanyu obeyed the order, and said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that General Han has said something very right before, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and since His Majesty can severely punish even the abolished prince, this Anning Hou, who openly defies the emperor's authority, naturally cannot be tolerated, otherwise, wouldn't it be very unfavorable to His Majesty?" The old minister thought that An Ninghou should be sentenced to death! ”

"Kill?" The emperor was stunned.

The crown prince was deposed at the beginning, and those in the know knew that it was because of the grievances of King Chen, but the court naturally had another statement to the outside world, which was nothing more than picking on private deeds and private virtues. Whether outsiders believe it or not, the prince was deposed for sanctimonious reasons after all, and if the crime of An Ninghou is confirmed this time and is not severely punished, wouldn't outsiders delve into the truth about the deposed prince?

When it comes to King Chen, it must not be underestimated.

If this matter spreads, and the news that the prince had made a statement for King Chen came out of Jingshi, then there will definitely be people who speculate that there is something else in King Chen's matter, and some dark forces hidden in the people will not take the opportunity to move?

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his gaze at Shen Guanyu was a little deeper.

But the decision is ...... Isn't it too heavy?

He looked at Shen Mi and Gu Zhicheng hesitantly, hoping that they would have different opinions.

But Shen Mi and the others looked at their toes quite tacitly, looking like they were listening attentively, and they couldn't receive his information at all.

The emperor was a little helpless, they were silent, and the king of Chu would definitely not be silent, so after thinking about it, he tried to say to Shen Guanyu: "Shen Aiqing, or, I sentence him to be reduced to a knight, demoted to a commoner, move back to his hometown, and leave him a life?" ”

Shen Guanyu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis An Ning is in charge of the five city camps, has a good governance, and has made a lot of achievements in the imperial court, it is a pity that such a person is killed." On the other hand, the old minister has been a little powerless in recent years, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to serve His Majesty, and he also asked His Majesty to reward the old minister for resigning and returning to the field, and spending the rest of his years with books and ink. ”

The Emperor glared.

What kind of talent is An Ninghou? What did he do to the imperial court? In addition to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and using the reputation of his uncle to make a fortune, what else will he do?! This Shen Guanyu actually threatened him with resignation!

"Father." The King of Chu spoke up at this time, "Lord Shen is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has rich experience in politics, such a talent is rare for my Great Zhou, according to Erchen, it will not be a problem for Lord Shen to serve the Great Zhou for another twenty years, and please think twice." ”

"Please think twice!"

Shen Mi and Gu Zhicheng all knelt down, and their voices echoed in the sky in waves, shocking people with no confidence.

For Yu Gong, An Ninghou, a relative who rose to the top purely by nepotism, how can he compare with Shen Guanpao, who has more than 100 years of experience and has served as the first assistant of the former dynasty with his ability? In private, it is better to live if you do evil in heaven, but you can not live if you do it yourself! He just insisted on protecting him, and with Gu Zhicheng's resentment, he wouldn't live long.

Keeping it left and right is just a leak for him, so it's really better to give them a favor.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and then exhaled a breath with his hand, "Shen Guanyu, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, listened to the order, Liu Yan deliberately set fire, destroyed the temple and killed people, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and he cut off the title and beheaded at the noon gate three days later!" Immediately report to the three divisions for implementation! ”R1152
