As the emperor of all vehicles, he does not need solid evidence to determine one thing. He thinks that you did it, that is what you do, and there is not much truth to say.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die." This sentence is not said casually, but has been proven with countless blood and lives. If Li Xuanji's death is most likely to be inseparable, then almost many people will immediately think of a series of conflicts that occurred in Chang'an two days ago. Obviously, Changle Hou Yuanzhao is the person who has a deep grudge with him recently.

Yuan Zhao's methods, the emperor has already deeply understood. Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, died that year, and he was able to do it on the plug thousands of miles away, and left no traces, which can be said to be invisible. And today, it is only easy to get rid of Li Xuanji, who may pose a threat to him.

The more Emperor Liu Che thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he heard the news of Li Xuanji's death, his first thought was that Yuan Zhao killed him! Even if he hasn't left his sight, he has the ability. As an emperor, even if you rely on and trust your courtiers, it is absolutely intolerable for such a thing to happen. This is a blatant provocation against the imperial power and the authority of the emperor, which is called the Great Rebellion!

He looked at the young courtier who had made great contributions to his dynasty, stood up with a blank face, and then walked to his approach. When I first saw him in Hanyuan Palace, he was still a teenager. Now that the body has grown, how much weight of mountains and rivers has been carried on both shoulders! When thinking of some of the past, the emperor felt a tightness in his chest and a cramp in his heart. He really didn't want to see that happen.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take all responsibility for the death of the Marquis of Hu Cheng. Please take a break from the wrath of the thunder and do not hurt the innocent. ”

To anyone's surprise, Yuan Zhao confessed the matter as soon as he opened his mouth. There is no prevarication, no quibbles. On the empty field, everyone's eyes widened, shocked, regretful, and incredible、...... In the interweaving of various emotions, Dong Yan, Yan Zhu and others, who were close, obviously saw that the emperor suddenly clenched his palms, and a trace of pain passed through his eyes.

"Why kill him? You won't fail to understand what I mean by what I have said......! ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to ask more. Since some grievances in this world have to be resolved sooner or later, they cannot be avoided. If you are willing to accept the guilt, please punish your majesty. ”

"You! …… How unreasonable! ”

The emperor's face was as ugly as it was. killed people unscrupulously, and dared to behave so calmly, without even the slightest fear. It's so infuriating!

"Yuan Zhao, don't think that you have a lot of merit, I can't kill you! Slaughtering the generals of the country by brutal means, such a great crime, in the face of the law of the Han Dynasty, I can't save you...... Say, who is assigned to do this? ”

The emperor stared at Yuan Zhao's eyes tightly, wanting to see what was going on from there. However, he was a little disappointed, Yuan Zhao's eyes were clear, he didn't panic, and he didn't dodge. He just sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take responsibility with himself, and he will never evade any serious crimes. I implore Your Majesty that this matter will end here, and focus on the overall situation of the world to avoid causing greater panic among the subjects of Chang'an. ”

"What I'm asking now is, who killed Li Xuanji!"

Emperor Liu Che accentuated his tone, and he was less than a few steps away from Yuan Zhao. He didn't believe that Yuan Zhao would not understand the meaning of his words, as long as someone could repent of the crime, he didn't want to really cure Yuan Zhao's sin. At most, take the opportunity to hit him and reduce the aura on his head, instead of killing him with a stick. This is the effect that the emperor wants to achieve the most.

However, Yuan Zhao's next move surprised him.

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Yuan Zhao didn't look at anyone. He just solemnly tidied up his clothes, and then pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to the ground with a formal prostration.

"I beg your Majesty, there is no need to ask more about sins and one's own body!"

The grass is not above the knees, and the autumn wind is gradually bleak. The Han Empire is leveling all over the world, and it is ushering in the harvest season. The smoke and dust in the north have gradually drifted away, and the soldiers of the Han army in the depths of the desert are preparing to launch a final general attack on the Xiongnu. The surrounding kings who succumbed to the hooves of the Han army had already come to the outside of Chang'an City, and they looked at the towering city wall from afar, and involuntarily shook off the dust on their bodies, changed into bright clothes, and wanted to enter this great oriental city with the best spirit.

And the young man, who had made a great contribution to all this, bowed his noble head at last, bowed his knees to the imperial power, and for the first time bowed down humbly to ...... among the weeds and dust.

As a man, standing in heaven and earth, he is indomitable and indomitable, which is naturally a symbol of fearlessness and bravery. And sometimes, sacrificing one's dignity for the sake of the overall situation, who can say, this is not a great courage!

The emperor's face turned pale. In his opinion, Yuan Zhao just wanted to use this way to generalize his army. He calculated that he wouldn't kill him, that's why he's like this, right? When he thought of this, he felt that his imperial majesty had been deeply hurt. Everyone around the Emperor trembled as they saw the green veins in the corners of his eyes jump, a precursor to the wrath of thunder.

"Yuan Zhao, I'll ask you one last time......."

However, before the emperor could finish his words, the young courtier who was lying in front of him had already bowed to the ground again and spoke loudly.

"The ministers and the two marquis of the Yi, the great Han Shangshu Ling Yuan Zhao will ask for the will, and I am willing to atone for the death of Li Xuanji, the marquis of Hucheng, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

The crowd was shocked. Yuan Zhao: What's wrong with today? Do you want to die? Some of the people who are kind to him on weekdays look at each other and want to help, but they can't do anything.

The crown prince Liu Ju is about to go crazy. He couldn't understand why Yuan Zhao did this. Father and Emperor have already revealed a hint of forgiveness, why should he do this?

The emperor was also choked with anger. He gritted his teeth, and was about to order someone to take down this boy who didn't know what to do on the spot, go to the court governor's mansion, and severely punish him. Suddenly, I heard a voice in a somewhat stiff atmosphere.

"This matter has nothing to do with my master! Li Xuanji and his subordinates were all killed by me, and the master didn't know about it! ”

Under the iron-gray sky, the wind and clouds were turbulent. There was a figure coming from behind, standing behind Yuan Zhao, looking at a white dress crawling in the barren grass, she wanted to pull him up, and then drew her sword out.

"Huo Quai, it's really you...... I should have thought of it a long time ago. I didn't see your shadow before, so I went to kill someone. ”

Emperor Liu Che nodded. For this youngest general of the three armies, his original intention was to tame him and make him his most important pawn in the army, so that he could use it to compete with several other generals with increasing prestige. But Huo Quai's illness is sharp, and he seems to be a little disobedient!

"Well, yes! Then Li Xuanji was disrespectful, and the last general was not angry for a while, so he killed them. Master didn't know about it before. Your Majesty, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, this matter has been done by me from beginning to end, and it has nothing to do with Master. ”

The young general who stood up, without armor, and his thin cloak fluttered in the autumn wind, looking heroic. Although his face was a little pale, a resolute sharpness revealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, which made people dare not force his eyes.

"Why bother...... And they don't listen to me! ”

"Master...... I couldn't help it...... Bing'er, don't see you lowering your head, ......! ”

In the whispered answer, although Yuan Zhao did not look back, he had already felt the sourness in her words. It is expected that in this moment, there must have been tears in those bright eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Who would have imagined that an invincible general who dominates the battlefield would also have such a childish appearance.

Huo Quzhi bit his lip tightly, and it was already bloodstained. For a long time, what Yuan Zhao told her, she obeyed her and never disobeyed.

But today, just now, when the figure that looked up like a mountain in her mind fell down among the rotten trees and dead grass, her heart was about to break.

He has always been her worship, the light of her life, and the footsteps she wants to follow in this world...... If necessary, she will not hesitate to draw her sword to be the enemy of the world, and she will not allow anything to obscure his light by an inch!

"Someone! took Huo Qubing down and put him in the prison of Tingweifu. ”

The emperor's cold words were like the frost of October. He decided to take this opportunity to tame this unruly wild horse. It is necessary for the Lower Court Governor's Mansion to let him learn some lessons.

Wei Ji, the captain of the Han Dynasty, was already gearing up to be eyeing him from the side. Whether it was Yuan Zhao or Huo Quai, as long as it fell into his hands, he guaranteed that there were a hundred ways to make him suffer and be miserable. After hearing the emperor's order, he sneered and loudly ordered his subordinates to do it.

However, the next moment, Yuan Zhao stood up and just said coldly.

"Huo Quai's annihilation of the Western Regions, the intimidation of the kings, and the capture and killing of the Huns Shan Yu have not yet been rewarded...... Your Majesty did this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the Han soldiers?"

"Bold Yuan Zhao! Dare to accuse Your Majesty in public, it is really a deception, and the crime is unforgivable. The old minister asked for an order to put the master and apprentice in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion together, and interrogate them strictly to see what ulterior intentions are behind this! Hum! ”

Naturally, it is the imperial historian Zhang Tang who will come out. If he hadn't been able to seize the opportunity to beat the water dogs like this, then he wouldn't have been a cool official known for his ruthlessness in the first place.

In the face of Zhang Tang and Wei Ji's aggressiveness, Yuan Zhao didn't even look at them. He just looked at the emperor's face, calm as usual, but his words were amazing.

"Please retract Your Majesty's order, no matter what, the minister will never allow it, someone will touch her in the slightest!"

"Yuan Zhao, are you threatening me?" The emperor's eyes suddenly appeared, and he finally made a killing move.
