Chapter 36 Cold rain and residual wind
"Good!"
Chamon shouted yes, and then poured three more glasses.
Murong Yunhong sat opposite Xia Meng, and his eyes seemed to have a sharp sword hidden in his eyes, which could pierce through everything in the world.
Chammon said: "Actually, you don't have to be what you are now, why are you so persistent. β
Murong Yunhong asked rhetorically: "Then why did you become the way you are now, back then, you can still remember half of what you said." β
Chamon recalled the events of that year, and gradually became sad.
"Why did I become like this? Don't you know, at the beginning, we were young and frivolous, with great ambitions, thinking that as long as we relied on our enthusiasm, we could help the world and benefit the people, but as a result, the result was that nothing was done, but I was framed and imprisoned, and even I was taken away from the position of the crown prince, this throne, which was originally mine, is now being sat on by the son of the second brother, I am unwilling, I am unwilling!"
The more Shamon spoke, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table hard.
Murong Yunhong smiled bitterly and said, "So, you are going to envelop the courtiers now, and you want to regain the throne one day." β
Xia Meng nodded and said: "You are right, this throne was originally mine, I took it back, what's wrong, Brother Murong, if you support me, I will definitely be able to sit on the throne, but why do you keep going against me?"
"Because you're doing it wrong. β
Murong Yunhong said very plainly, but Xia Meng couldn't calm down: "Am I wrong? Then you tell me, where am I wrong, what is wrong with regaining my throne?"
Murong Yunhong picked up a glass of wine, and after drinking it in one sip, he said, "First cup, respect the sky, do you have respect for the sky?"
Then he picked up the second cup and drank it in one gulp, "The second cup, Jingjun, do you have Jingjun?"
Finally, he drank the third cup: "The third cup, respect the people, do you have respect for the people?"
After drinking three glasses in a row, Murong Yunhong said loudly: "The first time we drank wine, it was these three glasses of wine, all these years, do you remember?"
Chamon was speechless, and finally shook his head in denial.
"These three glasses of wine, it is these three glasses of wine that made me lose the throne, respect for God, what can God give me, respect for the king, how did my father treat me, and respect for the people, I tried my best to benefit the people, in the end, who can remember what I did?
Now, I know that in this world, there is only one glass of wine, and that is to toast myself, so I only toast myself now, and only by toasting myself can I do everything I want to do. β
"So you don't respect heaven, you don't respect the king, you don't love the people! Since we were released from prison, you have changed, and everything you do in the future is for yourself, regardless of what happens to others. You withheld the money for the relief of the victims, started a war against the country of Luo, and disrupted the order of Kyushu, did you bring such a disaster to the country and the people just to seize the throne? β
"Yes, everything I did was to regain the throne, and if you hadn't kept stopping it, the throne would have been mine a long time ago. β
"I stopped you, but also for the sake of this country, now, the domestic natural disasters continue, and the saint is not good at governing the government, plus the rise of the Luo country, eyeing my dynasty, I can only assist the saint to govern this country, and I must not let you continue to disturb the government. β
Xia Meng was a little angry and said: "I have told you many times that as long as I become the emperor, I can also govern this country well, but as a result, you don't believe me, and you have to go against me, then I can only attack you." β
Murong Yunhong shook his head and sighed, he had already lost confidence in Xia Meng, with his temperament, it was difficult to say that he would be good now when he sat on the throne, and then he didn't say anything.
Xia Meng is also in the same mood, all these years, he has been thinking about being able to pull Murong Yunhong over, but he is hard-hearted, he has exhausted all methods, but he can't let him change his mind, for the sake of the throne, this once best brother can only be a killer.
"Brother Murong, let me ask you one last sentence, are you willing to help me regain the throne, as long as you are willing, I can grant you all your requests. β
At this time, Xia Meng was still making one last effort, but Murong Yunhong did not change his mind.
"In my life, I only drink these three glasses of wine, our wine is different, please go back. β
When the last glimmer of hope was shattered, Chammon finally gave up completely, and the person in front of him still couldn't walk on the same path as himself after all.
Chamon stood up in frustration, paused, and said, "Since that's the case, then let's say goodbye, this life ......"
In the middle of his sentence, Chamon suddenly didn't know what to say, so he turned away.
"Brother Xia. β
Hearing Murong Yunhong speak, Xia Meng hurriedly turned to look at him.
Murong Yunhong slowed down for a moment and said, "This is our grievance, I hope that no one else will be involved." β
Xia Meng knew what Murong Yunhong was going to say, and smiled softly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Xue'er, after all, I also hugged her back then, and I originally thought that Xue'er could be my daughter-in-law, but now, hey!"
Chamon sighed deeply and turned to leave.
Looking at Xia Meng's distant figure, Murong Yunhong closed his eyes, in this life, there are still too many unwillingness.
The disappearance of the night also heralds the arrival of dawn.
On the morning of the next day, the current saint personally tried Murong Yunhong's case, with Xia Meng and Imperial Historian Jin Youguang assisting.
The trial of the case is also the same as everyone expected, and the so-called perversion of the law for bribes, disregard for human life, and collusion with the enemy country are just a matter of one sentence. If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, when the people in the court are nearly nine layers of the same statement, even if it is false, it will become true, the so-called three people become tigers, now is the best portrayal.
In the face of more than a dozen major crimes with conclusive evidence, Murong Yunhong's words were no longer insignificant, and no matter how he justified it, he could not convince the saint.
What's more, this time it was a trumped-up crime that Xia Meng had carefully prepared for several years, each crime was enough to cut off his head, and the final result was that Murong Yunhong committed a heinous crime, and five days later, on the altar of sacrifice, he cut off his head to sacrifice to the sky to apologize.
After the results of the trial came out, the saint directly issued an edict to announce the crimes committed by Murong Yunhong throughout the country.
As soon as the edict was issued, it immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.
The Prime Minister's personality and work standards, the people also saw it, but he was suddenly beheaded, which was unacceptable, and after the news reached Murong Mansion, Murong Xue was even more sad and fell asleep directly.
Feng Yuerong has also been with here, and during this period, she also wrote a letter to her family, asking for help from her family, but she only got a sentence from her family, "Providence is so, you can't force it", so angry that Feng Yuerong directly tore the letter to pieces.
In the past five days, the country has been in chaos, and many people have come to the imperial city to face the saint and intercede for Murong Yunhong, but before they have entered the imperial city, they were stopped by Xia Meng's people.
Time passed day by day, five days is not a long time, but for many people, it is an ordeal, Murong Xue fell asleep for two days and two nights, and finally woke up. When he woke up, he was even more emaciated than before. In the past few days, I drank a few sips of water, but I didn't eat a mouthful of food, so I just lay in bed and didn't care about anything.
Feng Yuerong, who has always been resourceful, can only stomp her feet in a hurry now, and she can't do anything.
Chu Feng didn't have any ideas, the development of things had exceeded his expectations, and it was far beyond his control. In the battle of the court, he is a nobody, and he has no power to change in the slightest.
Chu Feng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his weak and godless fiancΓ©e, with all kinds of contradictions in his heart.
Since that martial arts competition began, disasters have happened one after another, and he can only watch these things happen around him, but he has no power to change.
When I was a child, my mother taught me not to be strong, in this life, what can be safe and stable is the best, and I don't like to fight and kill, so since then, I have been doing this.
Many times, I am following others, what others do, I also do, basically I have a beginning, although there is no reputation, and not many people know themselves, but life is also safe and stable, free.
I thought I was going to live my life like this, until my mother had an accident and left me, and I finally knew what it means to be involuntarily, sometimes, you don't want to cause trouble, but some trouble finds you.
When I was forced to leave Qingzhou, I came to the Holy Academy by mistake, and I also thought that I could study and live here safely, but I was still entangled in everything, and what happened today has completely changed my life.
Chu Feng tucked the quilt for Murong Xue, and when he thought of the future, as well as Murong Xue's situation, he felt a little heartbroken.
The arrival of the day of death has also raised the hearts of the people of the whole country to their throats and eyes.
This day was also the day when Murong Yunhong was beheaded.
Around the altar, there were three rows of guards standing neatly, and no one was allowed to approach, and on the side of the altar, the saint and Xia Meng and others had already begun to wait, and a group of courtiers stood beside them. In the middle of the altar, Murong Yunhong knelt on the ground, and an executioner with a cleaver in his arms was waiting to be called.
In the distance, there were already a large number of people waiting, but they were blocked outside, and the people's cries were deafening, kneeling to the sky and begging for their lives, and the saints and others were indifferent, and when they waited until three minutes at noon, they immediately ordered to be beheaded.
When the token landed, the head-chopping knife in the executioner's arms was also held in his hand, and his hands trembled, and he didn't even have the strength to lift it.
"No punishment yet!"
Chammon roared, and the executioner hurriedly raised the cleaver in his hand.
At this time, the sky suddenly covered the sun, and the sky, which had been clear just now, was now like dusk, and there was a wind.
The sky changed suddenly, which surprised everyone, and Shamon looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and his heart was crossed, and he ordered again.
The executioner was already trembling with fear, and the cleaver was shaking as if it were about to fall.
The wind is getting stronger, and it makes people a little unable to open their eyes.
"Slash!"
An angry roar pierced the void, frightening the executioner, who was already a little uncontrollable, relying on his instinctive reaction, exerting all his strength, and the head-chopping knife volleyed into the air.
Blood spattered, and the heavens and the earth were discolored.
There was a light rain in the sky, and it fell on my body, and it was a little cold.
After cutting off Murong Yunhong's head, the executioner suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.
Xia Meng, who was in the distance, witnessed everything in front of him, and when the head hit the ground, his heart suddenly hurt, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and then, without staying long, he went home alone.
The people in the distance were reluctant to leave for a long time, until the rain became heavier and the water on the earth became a stream, and the people dispersed.
After the people left, there were only two people left on the field, Chu Feng and the housekeeper, who came to clean up the corpse for Murong Xue.
When they came to the altar, they both knelt down, so grief-stricken that they didn't even have the strength to speak. After kowtowing, the two carefully sorted out Murong Yunhong's body and brought it back to Murong Mansion.
The Murong Mansion has also been sealed, and after two days, everyone in the mansion must leave, so in these two days, everything must be dealt with.
