The hall is very quiet, it can be said that the needle drop can be heard, some people look at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and some people look at the Duke of Wei who is kneeling on the ground. The expressions on everyone's faces were very complicated, some flashed a flash of happiness, some had a look of pity, and most of them were still not concerned with themselves, hanging high.

There is only one charge of these crimes mentioned by Wei Guogong, and that is dereliction of duty! To put it more seriously, it is a corpse vegetarian meal. As the Governor of Nanjing's Five Armies Governor's Office, the responsibility for such a big incident in Nanjing is really unshirkable. However, over the years, the power of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has been weakened a lot, and he has become a general who only leads the troops. It was the Ministry of War that transferred troops, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies did not have this power, so it was not so serious to say that the dereliction of duty.

However, none of the ministers stood up, no one stepped on it, and no one interceded, all waiting for the attitude of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The crimes that can be punished in this way all depend on the attitude of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. There has been news that for Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is only punished for one year. Many people are dissatisfied, but no one wants to get too involved in the rewards and punishments of Jinyiwei.

"Wei Guogong, get up and speak!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Luo Sigong expressionlessly, and said in a soft voice. When Wei Guogong stood up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Wei Guogong is a noble of the country, and he has been guarding Nanjing for generations, which can be said to have made great contributions to the country. In this incident, although Wei Guogong was derelict in his duties, he was not guilty. For the sake of Wei Guogong's many years of hard work for the country, I fell lightly. The penalty is one year as a punishment. ”

Just listened to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Everyone thought that Wei Guogong would definitely be severely punished this time, but they didn't expect it to be lifted high and fall down gently. A one-year penalty is actually similar to not being disposed of.

"Thank you Emperor Longen, the ministers must do their best and never let down the emperor's trust!" As he spoke, he fell to his knees again, his body trembling with excitement.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this. I use people without suspicion, and I don't use suspicious people. ”

Wei Guogong stood aside, still with a touched look on his face, but his heart was discouraged. Thinking of the words Mu Tianbo and himself, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

His gaze swept over the minister's face, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something to start?" After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Then retreat from the dynasty!" With that, he stood up. Walked out to the back.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse returned to the back, an old man was already waiting there, and the whole person was kneeling on the ground. The body is slumped. Chen Ling stood beside the old man. His expression was quite complicated, and he wanted to persuade the old man to get up, but no matter what he said, the old man knelt there like that.

Striding into the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at the old man kneeling on the ground and sighed. Walked to the dragon chair. waved his hand at Chen Hong beside him, and said, "Help Fang Aiqing up, and move a stool for Lord Fang." ”

"Your Majesty, let the guilty minister kneel! The criminal minister has no face to see the emperor, let alone face to do it in front of the emperor. The minister is ashamed of his trust in the emperor! Fang Congzhe cried loudly, which can be described as a broken liver and intestines.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Fang Congzhe. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, although this old man, although he also competed for power, he still had loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Now he is burdened by his children and grandchildren, and he may be sad to come compared to the white-haired people sending the black-haired people.

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not speak, Chen Hong and Chen Ling helped Fang Congzhe up, put him on the chair, and then respectfully stepped aside.

"Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself too much, I know what happened, and I can't blame Aiqing for these things. I am not a deaf king, and Aiqing does not need to worry too much. The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know how to comfort the injured old man, so he could only say these comforting words. The damage caused by his own son in his heart, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can still understand.

"The sinner is really a great sin, and it is the fault of the father to not raise it. The criminal failed to make good friends with his son, and he was really ashamed of his trust in the emperor! Fang Congzhe's body suddenly trembled sharply, slowly raised his head, looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said with a distorted face: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no face to stay in the world, I just ask the emperor to go to the minister's grave and tell the old minister when he catches Fang Shihong." ”

Fang Congzhe trembled down from his chair, knelt on the ground respectfully, and never moved again.

Chen Hong, who was on the side, hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand and touched the position of the carotid artery, shook his head at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, you are dead!" He raised Fang Congzhe's head again, saw his blue and black face, and said, "It's poisoning!" ”

Waving his hand at Chen Ling on the side, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered: "Let people go down!" According to the old minister, he was buried, and let people give him a better nickname. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Ling saluted respectfully, and hurriedly beckoned someone to carry Fang Congzhe out.

Slowly turning around, the Emperor of the Apocalypse walked over to the dragon chair and leaned back on the chair. Slowly closed his eyes, and said weakly to Chen Hong on the side: "What did you say Fang Congzhe was for?" You can run away, you can kill yourself at home, why do you want to kill yourself in front of me? Why did I watch him die? ”

Chen Hong stood aside, looking very hesitant, but he still spoke: "The slave is dull, I really can't think of it." ”

Suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Hong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it out, and said loudly: "He is really threatening to me, and he will make his subordinates merciful." He didn't have the face to say words of pleading, and told me in this way not to open the killing ring. He's begging me, begging me to let those people go! ”

Hurriedly knelt on the ground, Chen Hong persuaded: "Your Majesty, all these rivers and mountains belong to the emperor, and those people are all great rebels. How to deal with it, Daming Law has long been stipulated, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. Take care of the dragon body in everything, and the emperor take care of the dragon body! "Kowtowing is like pounding garlic.

Sitting weakly on the chair, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Chen Hong, do you say that I am a tyrant? Will there be a name for a tyrant in history? ”

"The emperor is a prosperous monarch, and since the emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has become more and more prosperous. The treasury is abundant, and the border passes are victorious, all of which can be seen. The emperor killed some people, but those people were all to blame, and the emperor didn't have to take it to heart. "These words Chen Hong has long been prepared, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is under too much pressure in his heart, and it is not a bad thing to vent.

waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I know that the reputation behind me is not destined to be too good, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has also left a reputation for being a poor soldier?" Tang Taizong's reputation is good? But I don't care, the emperor who spreads into acres is called the shaved emperor. There are countless rumors, but I admire him very much, and he has laid a foundation. ”

Standing up slowly, looking at the back of the Emperor of the Apocalypse walking out, Chen Hong suddenly felt that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very lonely. No one can read what the emperor is thinking, and no one knows what the inner world of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is like.

Forgive the loyal ministers, kill the ministers, what is the Emperor of the Apocalypse thinking in his heart? After serving the Emperor of the Apocalypse for so long, Chen Hong didn't know, he believed that no one in the world knew.

Thinking about what the Emperor of the Apocalypse had just said, Chen Hong couldn't remember, who was the emperor the emperor was talking about? The shaved emperor, he doesn't seem to have heard of it! What is Spread into Acres? I've never heard of it before! It seemed to be a policy, and since he couldn't figure it out, Chen Hong shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind. strode out to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he was the emperor's slave.

In Nanjing, in a big mansion, Fang Shihong was sitting in the basement. He looked at the teacup on the table with a blank face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Young master, Nanjing is still under lockdown, but there is already news, the little young master and his wife have already boarded the ship. When Nanjing City opens, the young master will be able to leave by boat. As Fang Shihong's very loyal housekeeper, Fang Fu saw Fang Shihong like this, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

Shaking his head gently, Fang Shihong sighed, raised his head, and said, "Is there any news of the old man?" ”

Looking at Fang Shihong's bloodshot eyes, Fang Fu was suddenly a little stunned. originally thought that his young master didn't care about the old man, but he didn't expect him to have such a time. At this time, Fang Shihong's eyes were not bloodshot, and his expression was full of gloom, and the whole person looked as if he was ten years older.

"Is there any news from the old man?" Seeing that Fang Fu didn't speak, Fang Shihong stared at him tightly, his body began to tremble, and tears slowly flowed down his eyes.

"Young master, the master is gone! I just received news from the outside that the old man entered the palace to see the emperor and committed suicide in the palace. We have no way of knowing what the lord said to the emperor, but the emperor ordered the lord to be buried. The specifications of the funeral were also in accordance with the specifications of the bachelor of Zhishi, and the Taibao was sealed, and the nickname Wenzhong was given. Fang Fu looked at Fang Congzhe and said with a sad expression.

Slowly kneeling on the ground, Fang Shihong burst into tears and said loudly: "Dad, my son has hurt you!" Why are you so troubled, you didn't go with your son that day, and the child didn't force it. I don't want you to be infamous on your back, as long as you don't ask for death, the emperor won't kill you. Son, I'm sorry for you, your nickname shouldn't be Wenzhong! I'm sorry for you! While speaking, Fang Shihong kowtowed violently on the ground, and the ground and forehead were full of blood and did not stop.

Fang Fu hurriedly pulled Fang Shihong up, he was afraid that Fang Shihong would kill him, and comforted: "Young Master, you don't have to be like this, the old master walked very peacefully, the young master doesn't have to be like this!" "I really don't know what to say, Fang Fu knows very well in his heart, Fang Congzhe's death is really the harm of these unfilial descendants.

"I don't want to stay here, I'm going to guard my father's grave, I'm going to guard my father's grave!" While speaking, Fang Shihong ran out like crazy.
