Volume 5: The Fire Phoenix Chapter 394 The Winner Is Hard to Tell 3
Shangguan Zhiyuan shook his head, "Since the emperor has a heart, he can't die if he is old." β
Hairun nodded, "It seems that you can be on your own." β
"If you are used to it, how can you be worthy of the cultivation of Master and Sister." Shangguan Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "At this point, you can't help but learn to grow by yourself." β
Shangguan Jingyu sighed lightly, "In this game, the outcome is unpredictable. β
Xiao Yue then understood, "It turns out that this is just the beginning?" β
Su Yan nodded, "Xiao Dongming just went through the motions, and now the real danger is coming." β
"I knew that my sword would be sent forward, the emperor is so indifferent, obviously he expected that I would not start, it is really too deep in the city." A thousand silences sneered.
"If you make a move, the third master's crime of killing his father and killing the king will be announced to the world." Qingmo raised his head, "As long as the emperor doesn't die, the third master will definitely die." Now, I can still catch my breath. β
"I think the emperor will do something to us soon, and the age is heavyβtoo unfathomable, who knows what he thinks in his heart." Shangguan Jingyu looked at Xiao Dongli.
Xiao Dongli smiled indifferently, raised his hand to remove the emanation from her face, "Master doesn't care about anything, it's enough to protect the two of you." β
Everyone was silent, and their eyes were gloomy.
If you want to live a dull life, if you want to live a life, why is it so difficult?
Emperor, why do you have to kill them all!
"I don't care about anything, I can be with you and Zhu'er, I don't want anything in this life." Shangguan Jingyu smiled faintly.

The world has woken up again.
The first time he woke up, he was taken to see the emperor, and Emperor Xiao Sheng sat on the dragon chair.
On the Jinluan Palace, the old age is dying, and he looks like a dying man. But everyone knows that since he is awake, he naturally can't die.
"The guilty minister sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Nian Shizhong reluctantly got up and knelt and kowtowed heavily.
Xiao Sheng sat on the dragon chair, his face seemed to be a little sickly, but his eyes were as sharp as they were that day. Obviously, Xiao Sheng's body is fine. It can even be said that Xiao Sheng's body has always been safe and sound.
It's just that he occasionally felt a cold at that time, and since Xiao Dongming thought that Xiao Sheng was seriously ill, Xiao Sheng pretended to be sick. In this court, if Xiao Dongming can afford to provoke it, and he will not covet his throne, Xiao Sheng is naturally willing to hand over power.
It's a pity that Xiao Dongming wants too much, and Xiao Sheng can't tolerate him.
Under the throne, there is no father-son relationship, only success and defeat.
"Old, you dare to hand over the talisman to the prince, so that the prince raises troops to rebel, are you guilty?" Xiao Sheng asked condescendingly.
Nian Shi kowtowed, "The sinner doesn't dare." β
"If you have done nothing wrong, why do you call yourself a sinner? What's more, if you've done it, why don't you dare to talk about it? Shangguan Feng sneered.
Nian Shizhong took a deep breath, and then said weakly, "The emperor is gracious, the criminal minister did not hand over the military talisman to the prince, and the reason why the criminal minister called himself a criminal minister is because the criminal minister did not know the person, and was assassinated by the villain and affected the court, almost injuring the emperor." Minister, the sin deserves death! β
The civil and military officials talked a lot, and they seemed to not understand what Nian Shizhong was talking about.
Nian Shizhong continued, "The minister's subordinate Twilight, the wolf's ambition, and the adultery with the sister were detected by the minister. The two teamed up to put the criminal minister to death, but the criminal was careless for a while, and he didn't expect his own sister to be so ruthless. The criminal minister was captured by Twilight Cloud and imprisoned in the water prison, while Twilight Cloud put on the skin of the minister, took the place of the criminal minister, and did whatever he wanted between the Protector General's Mansion and the court. β
"The criminal deserves to die, it is really the tiger that has fallen into Pingyang and is powerless to return to the sky, so that it has caused today's situation. The guilty minister could not escape the blame, and begged the emperor to give him a death to set an example. β
Xiao Sheng said, "So, for so long, you have been replaced by Twilight Cloud in disguise?" β
"Yes." The emperor is a clear guide, and the guilty minister-"
A stretcher was carried up, and a corpse lay under the white cloth, and when it was lifted, it was a face exactly the same as that of Nian Shizhong. Mu Chengfeng leaned over and tore off the skin on the spot, revealing Twilight's true face.
The officials were in an uproar, and it turned out that this was the truth.
Nian Shi knelt there again, "The sinner deserves to die!" β
Xiao Sheng picked up a book of folds on the case, "This is written on the transaction between you and the prince of sin, and the prince uses the position of the crown princess to exchange the talisman in your hand, is there such a thing?" β
After speaking, the eunuch respectfully took down the fold and handed it to Nian Shizhong.
"No, it's not my handwriting, and the fingerprints on it don't belong to the criminals." "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can check his handwriting and fingerprints on the spot." β
The eunuch took the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and cinnabar, trembled his hands, held the pen and wrote, and copied the transaction content on the fold on the spot. The handwriting is indeed very different, and the fingerprints are also of different sizes, not the same person at all.
It can be seen that it is indeed not Nian Shizhong himself who traded with Xiao Dongming.
Mu Chengfeng stepped forward and presented some letters, "Emperor Qiqi, these things are all taken from the Protector General's Mansion, and they are all in the handwriting of Duyun on them, so you can tell whether they are true or false." β
Swing the handwriting of Twilight Cloud and Nian Shizhong upwards, and then compare the handwriting on the transaction fold, then the authenticity is very clear. This is also the reason why Nian Shiyu waited until Dusk Yun and Xiao Dongming finished trading before he dared to show up.
Sooner or later, the contents of this transaction will be made public, so it must not pass through your own hands, and you must not touch it at all. In this way, you can stay out of the situation and get out of it in the future.
Hundreds of officials also have eyes, especially those who have been officials for many years. Who is Xiao Sheng? The habitual style of behavior is: I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
And now?
Xiao Sheng seems to be excusing Nianshi, after all, above the court, there are not many generals who can be literate and martial. Even if the emperor wants to kill them all, he has to think of the Beizhao army, and he is still stationed in Artemisia City.
Xiao Sheng can't help but consider the overall situation, and has to leave the old man with a heavy responsibility.
You can't let Xiao Sheng himself, and when he is old, he has to drive in person!
All the officials echoed and pleaded for the new year. After all, there is a debtor and a debtor, and Nian Shizhong is also a victim, although he is not aware of people and is at fault, but after all, these things are not done by Nian Shizhong.
It's the younger sister who is old, and the dead Twilight Cloud in front of him.
Hundreds of officials shouted that the emperor was shengming, the emperor was shengming, and the emperor Xiao Sheng naturally wanted to pay justice to the world.
Shangguan Feng didn't speak from beginning to end, and many times, his meaning represented the emperor's meaning. Shangguan Feng did not participate, nor did he put his life more important than death, and the hundred officials saw the emperor's original intention.
In the end, the emperor did not kill Nian Shizhong, pardoned Nian Shizhong's capital crime, and returned everything to Nian Shizhong, but only deprived him of the title of Protector General, but he was still General Nian in the future.
This is undoubtedly an itch in the boots, not painful or itchy.
"Your Majesty, since General Nian has pardoned, what about the Fu family?" Shangguan Feng said, "Everyone in the world knows that General Fu and Major General were wronged, and General Fu is still being captured in the enemy camp. If the emperor doesn't deal with it, I'm afraid that the world will talk about it.
