As soon as the morning dawned, Xiao Shiqian rebelled, and the news of the newly canonized Xiao Guifei's rescue and death spread all over the capital.

Although there is no early dynasty today, but when such a thing happened, the civil and military officials still dressed neatly and waited at the gate of the imperial city, waited for a long time, and finally waited for the holy decree, but the holy decree only summoned one person from Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi waited outside the Shanqing Pavilion alone, his eyes were solemn. Last night, the general Xiao Shiqian rebelled, today Fang Han remained silent, and only announced that he had entered the palace alone, what idea Fang Han had in his heart, he really couldn't guess.

"Lord Xiao, the emperor announced that you should go in." The great eunuch Zhang Jian came out of the hall, and his shrill voice made Xiao Shizhi feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, there is Grandpa Lao." The Way of Relief.

When Xiao Shizhi came in, he saw Fang Han standing in front of the dragon case and painting, he bowed and saluted, "See the emperor." ”

"Here we are." Fang Han raised his head and stretched out a hand to beckon him forward, "Come and take a look at this painting, how is it?" ”

Xiao Shizhi was slightly stunned, and stepped forward suspiciously, the moment he saw the painting, the blood in his whole body seemed to be cold, and the hand holding the folding fan was also tight, ready to attack at any time.

Last night's incident, everyone present could see the clues, if Fang Han couldn't see it, it would be strange.

"Do you know the man in this painting?" Seeing that Xiao Shizhi didn't speak, Fang Han asked again.

"It's the maid of the third sister, and her name is Manxue." Xiao Shizhi replied.

Listening to his answer, Fang Han raised his eyebrows, this answer did not satisfy him, he sighed, put the painting aside, and was silent for a long time.

"Don't you want to be honest with me now, cousin?" Fang Han looked at Xiao Shizhi, word by word, the word "cousin", and shouted very sincerely.

Hearing this, Xiao Shizhi's eyes were stained with another layer of frost, his cold eyes looked at Fang Han, and he no longer concealed the hatred in his heart, and now, there was no point in denying it.

Xiao Shizhi suddenly laughed, his smile was full of hostility and disgust, and he said, "The word 'cousin', the emperor's call is a little smoother, and the ministers can't afford it." ”

"Cousin, you and I are brothers, why bother to be so tense, let's sit down and talk about it......" Feeling his hatred and defense, Fang Han said in a light tone and sincerely.

Before Fang Han's words were finished, Xiao Shizhi's fan was already approaching his eyes, and the sharp blade that popped out of the fan bone slashed across his neck, stained with his blood, and rested firmly on his shoulder.

"Brother?" Xiao Shizhi approached, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Didn't your father teach you, should you cook beans and kill each other between brothers, just like he did back then?" ”

Fang Han didn't dodge, he didn't fight back, he let his sharp blade point at him, he ignored the bloody wound on his neck, and said slowly, "Back then, King Yi and his wife voluntarily martyred their lives to save the bloodline of the Suyan royal family. Cousin, these princes should have told you. ”

"Yes, Guogong did tell me, but do you think I will believe it?" Xiao Shizhi narrowed his eyes dangerously, and the hatred in his eyes was even stronger, "The dignified Emperor Suyan, in the face of external troubles, did not send troops to defend against foreign enemies, but he gave up a prince and princess and let others slaughter him, and afterwards even openly covered up his crimes with the ridiculous reason of 'rebellion'!" ”

"Cousin, my father is in trouble." Fang Han said.

"What's the problem? It's just that he couldn't see his father's high achievements, so he took this opportunity to get rid of his father. Because his behavior was detrimental to his bearing as the king of a country, he made up a reason at will to keep himself dignified. Hearing this, Xiao Shizhi sneered again and said coldly.

"Cousin, this jade seal is the key to the secret room of Shanqing Pavilion." Fang Han pointed to the seal on the table and continued, "The secrets of the royal family are all among them, you can go and see for yourself." ”

Xiao Shizhi only glanced at the seal, but did not make any move, he looked at Fang Han dangerously, and laughed loudly, "What? Can't wait to get rid of me? ”

"I don't mean that, if my cousin doesn't feel at ease, I'll go in with you." Fang Han said.

"Okay, I'm going to see what tricks you're going to play and lead the way." Xiao Shizhi pondered for a moment, put away the folding fan, and said coldly.

Fang Han picked up the jade seal and activated a mechanism at the base, and then the tiger coiled above spit out a key, "The secret of this secret room and the jade seal is only known to the emperors of previous dynasties. ”

The secret door of the secret room was under the floor tiles next to the imperial case, and after a burst of start-up sounds, the floor tiles moved downward, and a moment later a bottomless stone staircase appeared.

Xiao Shizhi vigilantly followed behind Fang Han, without the slightest carelessness, Fang Han took out a fire fold, and lit the oil lamps on both sides of the dark passage as he walked, "Cousin can see the small holes distributed on the walls on both sides, which hide tens of thousands of arrows, these oil lamps on the wall are the first mechanism, the order of lighting is the secret code that passes, if you light the wrong lamp, you will immediately die in the chaos of arrows." ”

Lighting all the oil lamps in the dark passage, Xiao Shizhi and Fang Han came to the stone gate at the end of the dark passage, Fang Han said, "This stone gate is made of broken dragon stone, weighing a thousand catties, if there is no secret key, even peerless masters such as the head of Taihang and the ghost doctor of Yuangu will not be able to touch it at all." ”

As he spoke, Fang Han lifted the oil pot that seemed to be placed casually in front of the stone door, added a little oil to the oil lamp closest to him, and then a very old key floated up, "This is the key to the Broken Dragon Stone Gate, and it is also the second mechanism, any more or less oil will open the mechanism, so that ten thousand arrows will be fired." ”

After a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened, Fang Han took the lead in the front, every step was extremely careful, "There is a mechanism under every stone brick, if you take a wrong step or take one less step, all the mechanisms in the secret room will be opened, if the first two mechanisms are still lucky, then this third path is absolutely lifeless." The Broken Dragon Stone is closed, the poisonous mist is spreading, and even if it is a Daluo Immortal, there is no possibility of survival. ”

Walking past the last stone brick, when Xiao Shizhi turned around, the Broken Dragon Stone Gate was slowly closing, and the lit oil lamp in the dark passage had been quietly extinguished.

The chamber was large, but very simple, with only a bookcase, a chair, and several bookshelves full of files, portraits of emperors hanging on the walls, genealogies in the east, and two other tablets next to the genealogy.

Xiao Shizhi approached, and after seeing the words on the tablet clearly, the hand holding the folding fan tightened a little, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were complicated and changing.

"Su Yanyi's position as King Fangchi"

"Princess Su Yanyi left the throne"

"Cousin, this is the tablet set up by my father for King Yi and his wife, when my father was alive. Every fifteenth day of the new year, they will come to incense for King Yi and his wife. Fang Han stepped forward to bow down, put incense on the pillar for King Yi and his wife, and continued, "After my father passed away, I followed my father's habit and often came to offer incense to my uncle and aunt and stayed with them for a while. ”

"What is this? Troubled conscience? Xiao Shizhi suddenly laughed, his voice was full of mockery and disdain, "Since you pushed them to death with your own hands, why bother with hypocrisy!" ”

"Cousin, whether it is my father or I, it is definitely not hypocritical...... Fang Han hurriedly argued, but was interrupted by Xiao Shizhi's sharp voice.

"It's not a hypocrisy?" The folding fan in Xiao Shizhi's hand suddenly unfolded, the sharp blade popped out, flashing a little cold light, he approached step by step, and his eyes were even colder than the sharp blade in his hand, "If you are sincere, why not tell the world!" Why don't you tell the people of the world that I don't have Yiwangfu, yes, and again! ”

"If there had been a way, I wouldn't have made this decision ten years ago!" Looking at Xiao Shizhi's cold eyes, Fang Han forcibly endured the grief in his heart, "That's what Princess Yi meant, although it is not satisfactory, but other than that, there is no other way." ”

"What do you say? My mother? Xiao Shizhi was very surprised when he heard this.

Fang Han nodded and continued, "You should know that in the Qiqin case back then, overnight, my father and all the princes were infected with a disease, the adults were extremely itchy, the children had high fevers, and the imperial doctors and the Xiao family were helpless, and they couldn't even find out the cause. A few days later, Princess Yi came to see her, and learned from her mouth that it was not a disease, but a kind of poison, a poison unique to Shuochu, Qiqin rotten poison ointment, which can only be solved by Shuochu's special antidote. At this time, the Shuochu army pressed the border, and a piece of war advice was handed to the emperor. ”

As he spoke, Fang Han opened a secret mechanism, took out a file from the secret compartment in the wall, and handed it to Xiao Shizhi, "This is all the files back then, and it is also my Su Yan's biggest secret. That piece of war is also in it, you can see for yourself. ”

Xiao Shizhi opened the file, looked over one by one, and saw that at the end, his eyes were already red, his extremely tense body trembled violently, and the suppressed grief and anger in his chest almost swallowed him.

This dossier shattered the only support in his heart for ten years, and it also shattered everything he had asked for all his life.

The fist that slammed into the wall was blurry with flesh and blood, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

For a long time, for a long time, Xiao Shizhi's tense body finally loosened a little, as if he had given up his faith, his eyes were godless, and he was desolate. He asked, "Is there an antidote to the celery rot ointment?" ”

"Cousin, back then, Guogong tested the poison with his body, and the poisoning was too deep, and now his body is at the end of his strong crossbow, even if there is an antidote, he has no power to return to the sky." Fang Han said.

"Ten years, my ten years, live like a joke. There is no hope of rehabilitation, there is no salvation for the country, and now, there is only one thing left to do. Xiao Shizhi picked up the folding fan that had just fallen to the ground as if he was careless, and his tone suddenly became extremely sharp.

In the next moment, the sharp blade hidden in the fan bone had already sunk into Fang Han's flesh and skin, and the voice was cold, but it revealed infinite expectations, "That is, when Xian Xian comes back, she can see a warm home that can protect her for the rest of her life." ”

"Cousin, the emperor is a right to you, but Yu I is a shackle! If you want it, I will give it back. The sharp sting caused by the blade sinking into the flesh, Fang Han snorted, his brows furrowed slightly, but his voice was still sincere.

"Give it back?" Xiao Shizhi narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with danger.

"It's supposed to be your place, and it's just given to you. Back then, the emperor's grandfather originally passed the throne to King Yi, but it was the emperor's mother who tampered with the edict and made a big mistake. Fang Han said.

"Fang Han, do you think I'm easy to deceive?" The blade was still pressing, and Xiao Shizhi's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "In order to get rid of me, he didn't hesitate to throw the throne as bait, which really flattered me!" ”

"Cousin, I am not an emperor's talent, and I hope that the capable will replace me. What I say today is not a joke, let alone a conspiracy. Fang Han explained eagerly.

"I want you to believe you, give me a reason." Xiao Shizhi paused and put away the folding fan, but the cold air lingering on his body was still pressing.

"Guogong has always been very accurate in looking at people, but he is wrong. Every time the prince sees me, he will drench the blood of the dog I scolded, saying that I am a monarch in vain, I don't think about society, and I am a plaything. Guogong is right, I am indeed not a good emperor, it is my fault to connive at the dictatorship of eunuchs and allow the party to fight for harms on the country, resulting in social turmoil and the withering of people's livelihood. I don't want my ancestral inheritance to be ruined in my hands, so I ask my cousin to take up this heavy responsibility for me. Fang Han said.

"Although the eunuchs were autocratic, they did not make any threats to the society; Although the party struggle is fierce, it has not brought harm to the country; Although the people's livelihood is not rich, it is far from withering; It is impossible to talk about the social turmoil, and the instability of the government and the opposition is indeed real, but it has not hurt the foundation of the country. You have been on the throne for five years, and it seems that you ignore the government and lose all your power, but eunuchs and party strife, which is not a chess piece in your hands? Xiao Shizhi said, "You didn't insult the words 'Tianzong Wizard', but you also underestimated our Jinyue too much." ”

"If my cousin doesn't say this, I won't be able to trust you with the throne. Today, I showed the secret room of Shanqing Pavilion to my cousin, which is enough to show my sincerity. As for the reason, if my cousin has some leisure, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you. Fang Han smiled, sighed lightly and continued, "Since I was born, I have lived for others, everything has someone to make decisions for me, every move has strict requirements, I have no will, my father's will is my will, I only have what I can do and what I must do, no one cares if I want to do it or not, let alone what I want to do or what I want?" With this kind of life, has anyone ever asked me if I would like to? I have the most honorable status, I have the power of life and death, I can control everyone's destiny, but I don't have the right to choose my own life. In the past, I still had Xue'er, but after the Yiwang case, even Xue'er left me. In those ten years, finding her became the only belief that supported me. Now that she has returned to me, I just want to take her away, away from strife and disregard for the world, but this throne has become my only bondage. ”

"I'm a traitor." Xiao Shizhi clenched his fists, was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty, "Even if you are interested, I will not be able to justifiably ascend the throne as emperor." ”

"My father once left a handwritten letter, and the truth of the case was all in it, and it was up to you how to use it." Fang Han said.

After talking secretly in the secret room for a long time, Xiao Shizhi and Fang Han had just left the secret room, and they heard the anxious report outside Shanqing Pavilion, "Your Majesty, the housekeeper of Xiao Guogong's Mansion came to look for Lord Xiao and was stopped at the gate of the palace, saying that Guogong was in a hurry and poisoned!" ”
