Fu Yao went into the cell, a single room, clean.

Mei Zhaochen stood up, and Sang Cheng stepped forward.

Fu Yao stood there, quietly waiting. Noble and firm, waiting for Mei Zhaochen's kneeling. If Mei Zhaochen refuses, of course, there is no need to talk about anything.

Mei Zhaochen was for a long time: "You won, only death, please don't humiliate me again." ”

This can also be done.

Fu Yao said: "It's not more than three, general, I respect you, but I can't let you go again." You know in your heart that the first two times you have covered up the past, this time, you are clearly standing in the midst of the rebels. ”

Mei Zhaochen said: "If you become a king or lose a king, what can you say." ”

Fu Yao said slowly: "You are in my hands, death still has many forms and forms, I want you to admit your mistakes." ”

Mei Zhaochen said: "I'm in your hands, you can kneel down according to me, or threaten, do you really need this kind of submission against your will?" ”

Fu Yao smiled: "Do you really want to incur greater humiliation?" Your room, your food, the respect of the interrogators, the absence of any torture, you are enjoying the tolerance I have given, this tolerance, from the help that your children have given me, it should have belonged to them, you should not have asked for more, I am the regent, the general, and now you should confess my identity. Or I don't need it, your children need it. ”

Mei Zhaochen's face changed slightly, he is just dead, he still hopes that his children will live, yes, he has touched the light of his children, he can not be humiliated before he dies, what else can he do for his children? It's just admitting defeat after defeat.

Mei Zhaochen slowly knelt down: "Your Highness, I oppose His Highness's control of the government and will remain unchanged until death, but this coup, this time, this situation, I don't agree, I just, I just didn't try my best to oppose it." I am willing to die for the wrong things I have done, please spare my children. ”

Fu Yao said: "Don't worry, I'm not going to touch your two children." They are national heroes and my friends, you don't have to worry about their future, they will live, and the Mei family will still be important ministers of the country. So, I also hope to leave some dignity for your two children. You know what I mean? ”

Mei Zhaochen said: "Give me suicide?" Thank you, Your Highness, for your success. ”

Fu Yao whispered: "I will arrange for your relatives and cronies to come to see your last side, I hope you will comfort your child, I hope that you will express your repentance, whether you really think so, or, just to comfort your child." If they can accept your death more calmly, it will be easier for them and me to return to normal life. It's also easier for me to trust them. ”

Mei Zhaochen nodded: "I understand." Resist until I do. I'll tell them. A suicide note will also be left to explain. ”

Fu Yao owes herself: "General Mei, from a certain point of view, you died for what you believe, and I want you to be respected before and after your death." But the crime of collaborating with the enemy is a stain on your reputation, and the exemption from trial is to save some face for the queen. Otherwise, even if there is no trial, the official will not stop breaking the fold, which is a shame for the Mei family. ”

Mei Zhaochen nodded: "I understand." ”

Sheng Chenlong came to the General's Mansion, and Mei Zicheng was recalled to Beijing, but he did not take up his post immediately. He was informed by the Ministry of Punishment that he was always waiting to be questioned.

Sheng Chenlong was stunned when he saw Yao Yiming: "What are you doing here?" ”

Yao Yiming said with a smile: "Shangshu is in the office, and the little one naturally has to wait!" ”

Sheng Chenlong was stunned: "Why don't I know the way?" Appointed? ”

Yao Yiming said: "General, you left the military department, the squire did not dare to be self-centered, the group of dragons was leaderless, the prince said, although he was not appointed, General Mei is familiar with the military department, so what is there to consult General Mei." ”

Sheng Chenlong nodded, he was reassigned back to the Dragon and Tiger Battalion as a commander, and the military department was indeed short of people.

This is a good thing, it shows that the prince did not mean to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so ......

Sheng Chenlong said uneasily: "I'm here to think, it's ......" looked at Yao Yiming.

Xiao Yao said: "I quit, quit." After thinking for a while: "General Sheng, there is something I want to say to you in private." ”

Sheng Chenlong glanced at Mei Zicheng uneasily, Mei Zicheng made a gesture of please, he went out with Xiaoyao and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Yiming whispered: "General Mei can't go to the prison or contact the old ministry to intercede for his father, that won't do him any good." What the princess meant was that merit was merit and demerit, and that General Xiaomei's exploits should not be related to his father's rebellion. The princess didn't mean to implicate General Xiaomei, he didn't make a mistake and was taken into the water together. ”

Sheng Chenlong was silent for a while: "You mean, you came to see him?" ”

Yao Yiming said: "I came to deliver the official document, but I think I should remind the general." There was silence for a while: "General, I was promoted by you." That's why I said a lot, not to warn you for others, but I want to tell you myself, this matter, you'd better not get involved, you want to get involved, the situation will intensify, and it will not be good for General Xiaomei. Lao Mei is definitely going to die. If he doesn't die, are the people who follow us to protect the emperor all cannon fodder and die in vain? What are you really going to do, I'm afraid, even General Xiaomei can't save it. ”

Sheng Chenlong was silent for a while: "Can General Xiaomei be trusted by sitting back and watching his father be killed?" ”

Yao Yiming said: "At least you won't be implicated." The more you prove that Lao Mei is influential, the faster he will die. ”

Sheng Chenlong pointed at Xiao Yao: "You kid! "This is a threat! This is a threat!

But if that's what the princess meant......

Sheng Chenlong was silent.

Walked back to Mei Zicheng: "General." ”

Mei Zicheng asked: "I heard that the courtiers asked for the execution of ......?" ”

Sheng Chenlong said uneasily: "This ...... Yes, there are people who ask for it. ”

Mei Zicheng said: "I heard that the officials have taken a break. ”

Sheng Chenlong said: "The official said that the emperor was partial to the relatives, and the emperor was angry."

Mei Zicheng nodded.

For a long time: "Thank you for me, thank the emperor, if you can see Mei Huan, tell her, don't be embarrassed for the emperor." I'm sure he did his best. ”

Sheng Chenlong was stunned for a moment: "General, you ......" You gave up saving your father?"

Mei Zicheng said: "He did something wrong. Therefore, don't embarrass the emperor and the regent, the crime of rebellion...... Don't come here again, and you should avoid suspicion a little. I should also avoid suspicion, turn away, and don't come. ”

Sheng Chenlong was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a little contempt, are you so wise to protect yourself? Then he sighed again: "I understand. "Xiaomei doesn't want to implicate us.

Mei Zicheng whispered: "Xiao Sheng, you are here, I understand your intentions, I am very grateful." I knew the result early on. Since it has been ascertained, Zhu Hui does have a connection with Nanguo, and his father also knows about it...... "Mei Zicheng's hand trembled slightly, I was on the front line at that time, and the three cities that I sold to the enemy cut my grain and grass!" Xiaomei shook her head gently: "Xiao Sheng, I have followed my brother for many years to defend the city, and I personally ordered them to die in battle." Of course, I also know that in order to defeat political opponents, there are those who collude with foreign aid. Just ......"

Mei Zicheng buried his head and whispered: "Then, since you are defeated, let's accept death calmly." ”

Sheng Chenlong suddenly burst into tears: "General, do you mean, I am sorry for the brother who died in battle?" ”

Mei Zicheng slowly raised his head: "Yes." His lips trembled: "You go." Don't come again. ”

Sheng Chenlong slowly stood up and bowed: "I listen to the general." ”

Yao Yiming was still waiting outside.

Sheng Chenlong was furious: "What are you doing here? ”

Yao Yiming said: "If General Mei tells you something, you must not do anything!" ”

Sheng Chenlong grabbed Yao Yiming: "You were sent by the princess to monitor, right?" Go back and tell your master, General Xiaomei said, he interceded for his father, sorry for the dead brothers! Let your master rest assured! ”

Yao Yiming was stunned: "Would he say that?" ”

Sheng Chenlong said: "General Mei is loyal to the country. Pointing at Yao Yiming: "You get away for me!" ”

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "The princess is worried that General Mei won't be able to think about it." ”

Sheng Chenlong let out a "phew" and shook his hand away.

Mei Zicheng buried his head deeply, I don't want to die.

He didn't understand where such fear came from, he had never been afraid in the killing field. Maybe there was anger at the time, maybe ......

He had never faced it so alone.

My brothers, all waiting for me on the other side.

Because of my negligence, my brothers died on the battlefield.

Because of my father's betrayal, my brothers who died on the battlefield.

I thought I should be with them, I shouldn't have abandoned them in the first place, and now I should be with them.

When Yao Yiming came in again, he saw Mei Zicheng lying on the table, and just wanted to quit the room, when he heard the sound of water droplets, "Horn, horn".

Eyes down, a pool of blood under the table.

Xiao Yao screamed, again and again, not daring to go in.

Come on, come on!

It's none of my business, I've just arrived!

The next people rushed in.

Xiao Yao was dumbfounded, for what? Checkmate! I thought you wanted to open it! I thought it was ...... I don't understand.
