The drizzle had already intensified, and by noon it was already a torrential rain.

The rain was beating on the bluestone slabs of the palace, some of the scabbed blood stains had been slowly washed away, and several attendants were frowning and disposing of the corpses on the ground, which might have been majestic patrol armor soldiers in the early days, but now it was just a corpse.

The corpses were quickly cleaned up, and the armor soldiers who were driving the car had already sent the corpses out of the palace. The blood stains on the ground were cleaned by the attendants, and the rain could only dissipate along the channel. An hour ago, it was a tense dormitory, but now it has become silent.

Everyone was silent, and the silence was terrible.

This is the result of Yuan Shu's ruthlessness. In fact, I don't blame him, he has no choice at all now. The news of being called the emperor has spread, and at this time, he really listened to the death advice of Yan Xiang and others to give up being the emperor, so where did he put Yuan Shu's face? So where is the face of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family?

To be honest, in the process of the ministers' death, Yuan Shu also had a trace of hesitation in his heart. But now after all, it is in the past, the ministers are pilgrimage, the jade seal is in hand, and Yuan Shu has no reason to give up.

Those who achieve great things are not informal, this is Yuan Shu's philosophy.

Tens of millions of people have gone alone, this is Yuan Shu's motto.

The road to the emperor is destined to be lonely, since Yuan Shu has already planned to ascend to the ninth five, then he will also go further and further on the lonely road, as for the trace of hesitation not long ago, that trace of reluctance to Yan Xiang, it is no longer worth mentioning.

After all, the past is the past, and no one can change the conclusion of the coffin.

It was Ji Ling who did it.

After receiving Yuan Shu's order, Ji Ling did not hesitate at all.

Ji Ling is a smart man, he also knows Yan Xiang's status in the Yuan Shu group, he also knows that Yuan Shu is self-defeating when he calls the emperor, and he is also on the opposite side of Yuan Shu, but now he can't choose.

Yan Xiang is a dead admonition, and he is seeking his own death. He is following Yuan Yao and moving randomly, and he has the hope of survival.

The comradeship of Pao Ze had long been forgotten by Ji Ling, and he knew that as long as Yuan Shu ordered the arrest of Shou Chuncheng, there would be rumors in the city, and the Jianghuai family would bottom out, these were all consequences that Yuan Shu could not face.

In this battle, all the ministers were imprisoned.

Yan Xiang was also imprisoned in Shouchun's water prison.

And since Yuan Shu became the master of Shouchun, the people locked in the water prison have never come out alive.

Now Yuan Shu, there is a little hollow in his eyes, he has already moved to the main palace, he is paralyzed on the dragon chair, he also needs to think, and he needs to digest the consequences of this matter.

After this incident, those attendants became more and more in awe of Yuan Shu, and a eunuch knelt on the ground to inform Yuan Shu of the officials who had arrived in Shouchun today, Yuan Shu listened indifferently, and his eyes were slightly closed.

"Lord, Yan Xiang and the others have been imprisoned, and now is the time to settle these matters."

As soon as Yuan Shu opened his eyes, the eunuch kneeling in front of him closed his mouth with interest. Yuan Shu rubbed his forehead and looked at Yang Hong, who had just spoken, he also knew that he had to deal with those hundred officials who were in prison, but the candidates and methods were still bothering him.

"These hundred officials should be severely tortured, let them confess to Yan Xiang's mastermind, and then kill Yan Xiang by thunder means, and release the hundred officials with grace and power, which will definitely be able to suppress the backlash of the Jianghuai family."

These had already been discussed between Yuan Shu and Yang Hong before the action, and Yuan Shu at this time slowly got up and asked.

"And who will be sent to do it?"

"This person must be a prudent person, otherwise it will be self-defeating if there is a mistake."

"I'm asking who to send!"

Yuan Shu looked a little irritable, and Yang Hong was so frightened that he leaned over when he drank like this. In fact, he didn't think about who to choose, but of course it can't be himself, you must know that this is a matter of offending people.

Yang Hong, who was leaning over, was quickly flipping through the familiar figure in his mind, and suddenly he glanced at the books scattered on the ground that had just been reported by the eunuch to Yuan Shu about the people who had entered Shouchun, and after locking a name, he had a plan for a while.

...

"What? Yan Xiang and the others have all been imprisoned? ”

In the prince's mansion, Yuan Yao heard the report of the person who came, and he was surprised to take the case.

Gao Yun had already come to Yuan Yao's mansion, and he was still discussing the plan with Yuan Yao and Lu Fan just now, but when this person said it, his face was quite bad.

Gao Yun knew that Yan Xiang's death was a provocation to the arrogant Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's order to put all these people in prison was also an inevitable result.

It's just that all this seems to have come too quickly, Gao Yun knew the result, but he didn't guess the process, these people didn't have the slightest ability to resist under Ji Ling's arrest.

Then the problem gradually surfaced.

People are caught, so what should be done with these people? You must know that these people are not only the Jianghuai family, but also the talents of Yuan Shu's dependence on the governance side, Yuan Shu cannot kill them all, but when something happens, someone must come to the top, and this person is Yan Xiang nine times out of ten.

Yuan Yao, Gao Yun, and Lu Fan, none of them were not smart people, and when they received this news, they could guess the result of Yan Xiang's death.

After Yuan Yao was surprised, he sat down slowly, his face was also very bad, although he had never liked Yan Xiang, but Yan Xiang had made great contributions to the foundation of the Yuan family after all. His father killed him for his own selfish desires, which already made him, a son, feel cold.

"My subordinates think that this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Lu Fan slowly walked to the middle of the hall and said slowly: "Yan Yujing has been unable to escape the death this time, and the lord has arrested so many people from the family in one go, it will be difficult to block the family's leisurely mouth, and when the time comes, Shouchun will complain, but it will be a favorable situation for us." ”

"I understand all this, but I always feel that Yan Yujing is above board, and it's a pity that he died like this." Yuan Yao said these words without thinking, and it could be seen that he did feel a little sorry for Yan Xiang.

"It's a pity and a pity." Gao Yun spoke, "It is an eternal truth that rigidity is easy to break, Yan Yujing knew that he would die, but he went blatantly, and he had already put life and death out of the way. In fact, he is the same kind of person as us, and he will spare his life for his beliefs, so it is good, even if Yan Xiang dies, he can gain a good reputation that will last for centuries.

The so-called celebrities and celebrities, don't they live all their lives just for a name, and it is the best ending for Yan Xiang. ”

Gao Yun's words were a little heavy, and there was a short silence in the hall. For the three of them, Yan Xiang can be said to be an opponent and a good teacher, and now that he is dying, no one will be happy.

The door of Yuan Yao's hall was open, and in the silence, Gao Yun's gaze suddenly swept out, and he found that the figure in iron armor was moving quickly towards here.

Ji Ling patted the water trails on his body and stepped into the room, and after saluting Yuan Yao, he set his eyes on Gao Yun.

"I heard that Zi sighed, and when I thought about it, it was really here in Shizi."

Without waiting for Gao Yun to reply, Ji Ling's expression suddenly became serious after the greetings, "The Lord has an order, the traitor Yan Xiang instigated hundreds of officials to plot against him, and he specially ordered Lujiang Taishou Gao Yun to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”
