On my side, I will ask King Jing's people to help find people, and lay a net for me, and I must find people. Shao Nanchu's voice was full of coldness and murderous intent.

Obviously, he had arranged enough guards around her, but he still put her in a crisis, which made Shao Nanchu feel deeply frustrated.

Even though he had just annihilated the King of the West who had been dormant for many years with the emperor and Zhuang Jingcheng last night, he didn't have the slightest sense of joy of victory in his heart.

He even felt that if he was asked to exchange this victory for Bai Qiuluo's peace, he would also give it with his hands willingly.

Unfortunately, many times, many things, are never reciprocal.

Dark One and Jin Qing nodded at the same time when they heard this.

"Come as soon as there is news, don't delay." Shao Nanchu commanded again.

"Yes." The two responded in unison.

Shao Nanchu sent the two away, and then walked quickly towards Zhuang Jingcheng not far away.

The sky was getting brighter, and soon it was time for the early dynasty, Zhuang Jingcheng and Shao Nanchu also entered the queue of courtiers.

At the beginning of the court discussion, the emperor did not let the ministers play, but spoke first: "You Aiqing should have heard the earth-shaking movement last night resounding throughout the capital, and the fire was everywhere overnight, and on the way to the court this morning, you should also see corpses and a sea of blood, and all of this was caused by the rebellion led by the king of the west last night." What do you think about this? ”

"The King of the West is rebellious? Wasn't the king of Coss in the midst of his land? Why did you suddenly run to Beijing to rebel? ”

"The crime of rebellion should be punished according to the law, what is there to say?"

"King Xi is the only brother of the emperor, beheading is too harsh, it's better to be imprisoned for life."

……

For a while, all the ministers talked about it, and they were all talking about the rebellion of the king of the west.

As for the rebellion, it is also divided into two factions, one faction thinks that the king of the west should be beheaded, and the other faction thinks that he only needs to be imprisoned for life, after all, the king of the west is also the blood of the royal family, and if he is really killed, it will appear that the emperor is not close to people.

The two factions fought back and forth, and the voices became louder and louder, and finally they quarreled red-faced.

Shao Nanchu was at the back of the crowd, silently looking at the two sides of the dispute, and wrote down the names and positions of the people who were different on both sides, and had a score in his heart.

Zhuang Jingcheng also stood at the head of the ministers with an indifferent face, feeling that these people were just full of food and fighting here.

I don't want to think about it, if he hadn't just discovered the head and tail of the King of the West, if he hadn't been prepared by him and the emperor, the capital would have been in flames of war, where would there be such a comfortable time for them to quarrel?

But in the same way, Zhuang Jingcheng also understands that people in high positions always have more to worry about and weigh than others.

Looking up at the same expressionless emperor above, Zhuang Jingcheng suddenly wondered, if he was told at this moment that he had an extra son, would he smile a little?

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhuang Jingcheng felt that maybe it was time to discuss the matter of the emperor and Concubine Lan with Su Jinhan.

At this time, the emperor finally spoke.

He said lightly: "The evidence of the rebellion of the King of the West is conclusive, and the blood of the soldiers outside the city is still left in that land and has not cooled, what do you people who advise me not to be too harsh in your capacity as the royal family of the King of the West?" The lives of the people are not lives, and the lives of the warriors are not valuable, so only the members of the royal family are noble enough, right? Have you forgotten that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people? ”

The voice was flat, but the majesty and awe-inspiring words made the hundred officials suddenly dumb.

King Xi naturally has remnants above the court, but no matter how much they want to save King Xi at this time, they don't dare to speak.

If you say anything at this time, isn't that looking for death?

In the silence, the emperor continued: "The king of the west conspired against him, and he should be punished according to the law, remembering that he had made meritorious contributions to governing the western territory for many years, and he was specially allowed to offset his crimes, but he must not be punished, and he was demoted to a commoner, and he was imprisoned for life until he died of old age." His family members were escorted back to Beijing on a later date and jointly detained. The property under his name was recovered, and all the slaves were distributed to the frontier. ”

This kind of disposal is actually very merciful.

Although the king of the west was demoted to a commoner and had no freedom for life, he still lived well.

This execution also made people unreasonable, and they all bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhuang Jingcheng was a little surprised, he thought that the emperor would take the life of the king of the west, but the result seemed to be a little unexpected.

After the emperor disposed of the affairs of the King of the West, he directly asked Zhang Fuhai to announce his retirement from the court, and he helped him to leave the court.

After experiencing this time, the emperor seemed to be a little tired, and his back didn't seem to be as straight as before when he walked.

Shao Nanchu quietly left behind the crowd and went to find the emperor.

The expression observed in the court was different, it may be that after the officials of the Xiwang party informed them one by one, Shao Nanchu said: "Your Majesty, the follow-up matter, Weichen may not be able to continue to follow up, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

"Huh? Something went wrong? The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, and he asked in a low voice.

"Well, something happened to her in Qiuluo, and Weichen is going to leave the palace to find her." Shao Nanchu said with a tense expression.

The emperor frowned when he heard this.

He remembered Bai Qiuluo.

Whether it was because of Concubine Lan or because of Shao Nanchu, he remembered it after all, so he knew that something had happened to Bai Qiuluo, and a little melancholy appeared on his face.

However, the emperor didn't say anything in the end, and said with a slight bow: "Okay, I know, you go and get busy, if there is anything you want me to help with, just ask." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Wechen retired."

If ordinary people get a promise from the emperor, I'm afraid they will be so happy that they can't find the north, after all, the emperor's promise is not so good.

But Shao Nanchu didn't look ecstatic at all, but left in a hurry.

The emperor looked at Shao Nanchu's disappearing back with a little worry.

However, thinking that Shao Nanchu's ability was there, even if Bai Qiuluo had an accident temporarily, he believed that Shao Nanchu would definitely save people soon, and he was relieved.

Subsequently, the emperor asked Zhang Fuhai to invite Zhuang Jingcheng over.

After the early dynasty dispersed, Zhuang Jingcheng deliberately walked half a step behind the ministers, he knew that the emperor would definitely let people come to him for a while.

Thinking so, he simply turned around and walked towards the imperial study.

Sure enough, as soon as he was halfway there, he saw his little father-in-law who came to look for him.

However, to his surprise, the little father-in-law did not take him to the imperial study, but went to the other side.

When he arrived at the place, Zhuang Jingcheng found out that this was Concubine Lan's bedroom.

Because Concubine Lan is "dead", this palace has no master, and it is somewhat less popular.

When Zhuang Jingcheng entered the palace, he sensitively found that in addition to the fact that there were no palace people in the palace, there was not much dust, obviously it had not been abandoned recently, and someone had been cleaning it.

Zhuang Jingcheng found the emperor in the courtyard outside the dormitory.

He was standing in front of an orchid and looked at it deeply.

"Father." Zhuang Jingcheng opened his mouth and called.

After experiencing some recent things, the relationship between father and son has improved a lot, Zhuang Jingcheng is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, since he knows that the emperor also has hardships in the past, his mind has calmed down a lot, although he still has some resentment, but it does not prevent him from repairing the relationship with the emperor.

At the beginning, his mother loved the emperor deeply, and he was also deeply favored when he was a child, although that father's love has experienced many years of stumbling and mottling, but the deep desire in his heart has not subsided.

"Well, here we are." The emperor answered.

After that, there was a long silence between the two.

When the emperor spoke again, Zhuang Jingcheng was surprised.

"I don't know if Concubine Lan is doing well underground, I don't know if she met your mother? After so many years, your mother should have been reincarnated, right? If there really is an afterlife. ”

Zhuang Jingcheng: "......"

What should he say? Concubine Lan is not dead, she is still alive and well, and she gave birth to a son to him without the emperor knowing, and it is impossible to meet his mother.

And Zhuang Jingcheng himself doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But thinking about Su Jinhan's existence, he had a little more reservations, so he didn't say anything.

The emperor said to himself: "I know that you think I am soft-hearted in today's affairs, but it was indeed me who was sorry for him back then, and now it can be regarded as forgiveness for the sins." ”

"Father, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, keep him, I'm afraid there will be variables." Zhuang Jingcheng opened his mouth lightly.

He was not a benevolent man, and although the King of the West was his uncle, he would not trouble himself.

"I know. I have appointed him to be watched. Let him be with Concubine De, it can be regarded as my fulfillment of them, if he doesn't know what to do and still be a demon, then you don't have to be merciful, how to deal with it, how to deal with it. The emperor said lightly.

"Oh." Zhuang Jingcheng responded, and in a blink of an eye, he felt that something was wrong, no, if he wanted to deal with it, it was also the emperor's disposal, why did he get involved?

Zhuang Jingcheng frowned and said: "This is my father's business, and my father will handle it himself." ”

He didn't have the heart to waste his time on these things.

After dealing with big things, he still has to spare time to accompany his little Hanhan.

The emperor finally turned his head to look at Zhuang Jingcheng: "This throne, I plan to give it to you." ”

Rao is as calm as Zhuang Jingcheng, and his eyes widened in an instant.

What the? Could it be that he has a problem with his ears? When Zhuang Jingcheng heard this, the whole person was not good.

What immediately rose in my heart was vigilance.

In this chaotic battle, he showed almost all his strength, could it be that the emperor saw it and was afraid of it, so he deliberately tested him?

Zhuang Jingcheng thought about it, and his heart sank.

So, does the emperor want to do something to him?

I went to see the emperor again while my heart was cold, but on the face that had already appeared with the years, I couldn't see half of the calculation, only sincerity.

"My father is in the prime of life, how can he say such a thing, and I don't know how many people's hearts will be disturbed when it is spread out." Zhuang Jingcheng could only open his mouth conservatively in the end.
