Chapter 168: Divine Decree
The people sent by the emperor escorted Yan Su towards the capital, and on Shen Xiao's side, everything went well, Qin Feng and Xiao He brought together people from all over the world.
Conveying Shen Xiao's order, everyone dispersed again and headed towards the capital together.
In the palace, the emperor was full of anxiety, he always knew that the holy purpose was in the hands of Shen Xiao, and many times, he was worried that his throne would be replaced because of that holy decree.
What the emperor didn't know was that if he let Shen Xiao leave, that holy decree would only be taken away by Shen Xiao, he didn't want to be the emperor, he didn't want to use that holy decree, he just wanted to leave the capital and have a peaceful birthday with Yan Su.
But on the contrary, the emperor sent someone to arrest Yan Su, and wanted to use this to deal with Shen Xiao, so even if Shen Xiao didn't want to, he had to think about it.
Instead of living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife and letting the people around you live in crisis every day, it is better to solve it directly and never have any worries.
A few days later, Shen Xiao's men and horses entered the capital, and their speed was much faster than that of the people holding Yan Su.
In order to ensure Yan Su's safety, Shen Xiao sent a team of people to save Yan Su, and Nalan Xuan also followed, he had poison, it was easier.
Shen Xiao also returned to the capital, and his people were far more powerful than the emperor's people, so the emperor didn't know all this.
Passing on their plans to everyone, they quietly entered the palace.
The emperor didn't know anything about all this, he was still waiting for his own people to escort Yan Su back, and then Shen Xiao threw himself into the net and was killed by him.
With his subordinates, Shen Xiao came directly to the emperor's residence, and he arranged some people to let all the ministers enter the palace.
In the hands of the emperor, there is a seal that can mobilize the guards in the capital, and Shen Xiao ordered someone to find it and use the guards for his own use.
The guards in the capital only obey the orders of the seal, so when they get the seal, they control the guards.
Speaking of which, this is still the emperor's own decision, Shen Xiao also persuaded him at the beginning that it would be dangerous to do so, but the emperor didn't listen, and now, it can be regarded as a pit himself.
The guards were controlled by Shen Xiao's people, and after the ministers entered the palace, the guards surrounded the palace, and no one could enter the palace.
Before that, Shen Xiao sent someone to check, even if someone wanted to transfer troops at that time, they could only think about it, because they were all trapped in the palace.
When the emperor saw that Shen Xiao appeared in front of him, he was stupid, because he didn't expect that Shen Xiao would appear in front of him in such a way.
"You...... How did you come to the palace? Stretching out his hand and pointing at Shen Xiao, the emperor asked.
"Didn't the emperor want to see me? Because of this, I ordered my wife to be arrested. Looking at the emperor, Shen Xiao opened his mouth expressionlessly.
Over the years, he has done things for him and guarded his country, but in the end, it was the result.
"I ...... I just didn't expect that you would say goodbye, why did you leave the capital? ”
Although he was flustered in his heart, the emperor forced himself to calm down, and he felt that since Shen Xiao's wife was in his hands, he didn't dare to do anything to himself.
"What's wrong with me leaving the capital? You don't have to worry anymore, I'm going to plot against your throne. ”
"I originally thought that I would leave the capital and never come back, and in the future, I would take my wife and children to live incognito in a place that no one knows, but you didn't let me get my wish."
Shen Xiao's expression was indifferent, such a look made the emperor's heart suddenly, looking at him, the emperor suddenly realized that maybe he had done something wrong.
"Your wife hasn't returned to Beijing yet, what do you want to do here? I warn you, don't act rashly, or your lady will ......"
The emperor didn't say the latter, he felt that this would scare Shen Xiao.
"It's useless, I've already sent someone to save her, I entered the palace today, I have an account, and I want to settle accounts with you."
"All these years, you have been looking for that holy decree, you are afraid that I will take that holy decree and remove you from the throne, for this position, you have sent me and Nalan's family to the battlefield and let them die."
"You got your wish, they died, Nalan hung around all day long in order to avoid you, and I, controlled by the so-called responsibility, can't leave if I want to."
"You want to kill me again and again, what danger, what do you let me do, have you ever thought about my feelings?"
When Shen Xiao was questioning the emperor, Nalan Xuan took people and found the team holding Yan Su.
In order to save time and reduce casualties, Nalan Xuan used some methods to put the medicinal powder in the food of those people.
As soon as I ate the food, I didn't feel anything, and after an hour, the effects of the medicine began to appear.
At this time, Nalan Xuan appeared with someone, and it took almost no effort to save Yan Su.
Those people obeyed the emperor and had no major crimes, so Nalan Xuan didn't kill them, he took Yan Su and headed towards the capital.
In the capital, the ministers were instructed to enter the palace one by one, and the dialogue between Shen Xiao and the emperor was also coming to an end.
"What do you want?" Looking at Shen Xiao, the emperor asked.
"Instead of being scared and being hunted down by you, it is better to take the initiative in your own hands, these years, you will be a mess of great prosperity, your sons, one is not as good as one, if not, this holy decree will be taken out and used."
Although he didn't want to, but now, it's no longer a question of whether he wants to or not.
"You want to rebel?" Staring at Shen Xiao, the emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"The content of the holy decree, I think you know clearly, whether it is a rebellion or not, you and I know it well."
Looking at the emperor, a sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Xiao's lips, "Do you plan to give up this position to me, or do you want me to directly read the holy decree and take it over?" ”
According to the content of the holy decree, Shen Xiao can rightfully ascend to the throne, of course, if the emperor automatically abdicates, the effect will be very different.
"Don't you think, the ministers won't approve of you!" Of course, the emperor would not give up his position, he snorted coldly, but he had no bottom in his heart.
"Then let's try it." didn't care, Shen Xiao ordered someone to take the emperor with him and walk towards the main hall, at this time, the ministers had already arrived.
Seeing Shen Xiao, the ministers were a little surprised, after all, they all knew Shen Xiao's status in the court.
Just wondering, they saw the emperor behind Shen Xiao, and looking at him, it seemed that he had been held hostage.
"Help! Shen Xiao wants to rebel! Seeing the ministers looking at him, the emperor left excitedly and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, the ministers in the palace were a little flustered, but Shen Xiao was not in a hurry, he signaled his subordinates to help the emperor to sit on the dragon chair, and then took out a scroll from his arms.
"I think you all know that Emperor Taizu once gave the Shen family a holy decree, and over the years, the Shen family has been guarding this holy decree and treating it as the responsibility of the Shen family."
"What the Shen family has done, I think everyone can see it, and what the emperor did to the Shen family, you adults can also see it."
Looking at the people present, Shen Xiao was unhurried, and told the history of this holy decree, as well as the actions of the emperors of all dynasties since Emperor Taizu, and all the things that the emperor has done to himself today.
"You must be curious, what is written in this holy decree that has made my Shen family fall to such a point, now, I will show it to you."
With the holy decree, Shen Xiao first came to the prime minister and handed over the holy decree to him, this prime minister, and the Shen family, is a friendship, all these years, he has always wanted to help Shen Xiao, but was rejected by Shen Xiao.
Now, Shen Xiao asked him to read this holy decree, but the prime minister did not refuse, and after taking it, he read it out.
The more he read, the more surprised he became, although in the past, he had a good relationship with Shen Xiao's elders, but he really didn't know the content of the holy decree.
Not to mention him, the ministers present were also very surprised, they looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and suddenly understood why the emperor had been targeting the Shen family for so many years.
If you were any person, you would do the same, because they were afraid that their rights would be taken away.
"Don't read it! Don't read it! The emperor on the dragon chair struggled, obviously not wanting the prime minister to continue reading, but the prime minister ignored him and finished reading the holy decree.
"Over the years, what has the Xia family become of Daxing, presumably all the adults have seen it, I want to ask everyone, what do you think of this holy decree and the Xia family?"
Looking at everyone, Shen Xiao took back the holy decree and asked, and suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the ministers were discussing the problems that Shen Xiao said.
For so many years, the Xia family has governed Daxing, and when Emperor Taizu laid down Daxing, he governed Daxing very well.
After Emperor Taizu abdicated, the crown prince at that time inherited the throne, and Daxing was not bad, but in the next generation, Daxing became more and more inferior to before.
Compared with the past, today's Daxing can't be compared at all, because the national strength is not as good as other countries, the border passes are often harassed, and the people are complaining and very dissatisfied with the emperor, but there is no way, the emperor is the emperor.
Now, this holy decree appeared, and the thoughts of the ministers suddenly came alive.
How Shen Xiao is, many ministers know, even if they don't know him, they also know the contributions that the Shen family has made to the imperial court.
Such a family of heroes has now become like this, which shows how small-bellied the Xia family is, and they can't tolerate people.
"The emperor said, I am a rebel, what do you think?" Shen Xiao's hearing is still good, and he can listen to the discussions of the ministers.
In this hall, most of the people recognize him, and if you really want to sit in that position, it is not difficult.
Hearing Shen Xiao's question, the discussion was louder, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, his face was very ugly.
At this moment, he regretted a little, regretting that he shouldn't have killed the Shen family, if it weren't for that, maybe today's incident would not have happened.
However, in this world, there has never been a regret about selling medicine.
