Xiangye was kowtowing to the emperor and begging for mercy, but when he suddenly heard his daughter pleading with Duan Zisheng, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He was completely disappointed in this daughter, how could he not inherit his temperament at all.

She confessed to him, but interceded for him, what kind of trouble is this? Besides, if you want to intercede for him, you should also find the emperor, what's the use of finding Duan Zisheng?

Xiangye almost wanted to vomit blood, but after being stunned for a moment, he begged the emperor for mercy.

The emperor sat in his seat and looked at Xiangye, who was kneeling in front of him and wagging his tail and begging for mercy, with an indifferent attitude. It is really difficult for him to associate the depressed Xiangye in front of him with the Xiangye who was invincible in the past.

At this time, the emperor felt a little pity. Such a wonderful scene, it was a waste not to let the queen watch it. If the queen saw this scene, she would be crazy, right?

Xiangye is not the only one who is puzzled, everyone is very puzzled when they see Xia Wenxuan like this. She confessed to her father, so why did she intercede for him?

Regarding Xia Wenxuan's plea, Duan Zisheng couldn't do anything: "Xia Wenxuan, your father has committed a heinous crime, and he will be punished for several crimes, which is really difficult to forgive." ”

At this time, King Yong'an couldn't hold back, got up from his seat, and opened his mouth to intercede for Xiangye: "Father, Xiangye was confused for a while, he did something wrong, and he was meritorious to the court, so let him spare him this time." ”

For Xiang Ye to murder his imperial brother like this, he was angry in his heart. However, for the sake of Xia Wenxuan's face, he regarded Xiangye as the future Taishan, so he interceded for Xiangye. He couldn't bear to see Xia Wenxuan lose her relatives, so painful, seeing Xia Wenxuan crying so sadly and helplessly, he pitied her from the bottom of his heart.

However, when the emperor heard King Yong'an's plea, he only thought that King Yong'an was for his mother's sake, after all, Xiangye was his maternal uncle. If An'er asked for something else, he would agree. He has always been responsive to An'er's needs. Of course, An'er is very sensible and rarely makes requests that will embarrass him.

It's just that he really can't agree to the pardon of Xiangye. Not to mention that he intends to deal with the Xia family, he is already dissatisfied with Xiangye, which can be described as hatred. Xiangye's murder of his emperor Chu Tiankuo made him unforgivable.

If the matter of Xiangye plotting to kill his emperor is not fair, the emperor can also turn a blind eye. Now, with so many people watching, this matter will soon spread throughout the Great Western Kingdom. If he doesn't deal with Xiangye, how can he deal with himself?

How did he explain to his emperor? How did he face the people of the world? Xiang Ye has committed a heinous crime, if he is not punished, how can he govern the world?

The emperor thought for a while, and had the intention to shirk: "An'er, this is Dali Temple, everything should be subject to Duan Aiqing's judgment." Duan Aiqing, as the secretary of Dali Temple, strictly enforces the law, handles cases fairly, and will not show favoritism. His tone changed and he sighed: "The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and the Xiangye violated the law of the country and committed a heinous crime, what face do I have to intercede for him?" ”

In the words, there was a deep sense of helplessness. In fact, it was to perfunctory his royal son, King Yong'an.

King Yong'an heard what his father meant, and turned to ask for a son.

"Lord Duan, can you look at the thin face of this king and let Xiangye have a way to live."

Duan Zisheng pretended not to hear.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a lot of movement outside.

In the crowd of onlookers, a wide passage suddenly gave way.

Then, many officials wearing court clothes came to the court with great momentum.

They obviously didn't expect the emperor to come, and when they saw the emperor sitting in the hall, they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

The emperor swept over with cold eyes, and he already knew in his heart that they were all some of Xiangye's henchmen, obviously coming to intercede for Xiangye. He smiled coldly, it was really timely.

The people outside the hall looked in with wide eyes. Today is really unusual, and there are strange things in the world. Today's case is unprecedented, and I am afraid it will go down in history. first alarmed the emperor, and later even the civil and military officials.

Today's Dali Temple is really lively. The people were amazed, and everyone was thrilled to have the privilege of seeing such a big scene.

Sure enough, as the emperor expected, the courtiers knelt down and began to plead as if they had discussed it before they came. When they say a word, they roughly mean that they ask to spare Xiangye's life.

After listening to the noise of those courtiers for a long time, he felt that his ears were about to hear calluses. He impatiently pushed it to Duan Zisheng: "Zhongqing, I understand what you mean. This is Dali Temple, everything is still subject to Duan Aiqing. ”

Hearing this, those courtiers immediately changed their strategy and turned to Duan Zisheng.

The joke was born. He was determined to sentence Xiangye to death, but seeing this situation, he was a little shaken. He also didn't understand what the emperor meant.

King Yong'an was bent on helping Xia Wenxuan, so he pointed out a clear way to Duan Zisheng: "Lord Duan, for the sake of so many officials and this king's intercession, you should open the net." My father nodded in agreement. ”

Does he mean that? It's really self-inflicted. The emperor's face sank obviously, he coughed dryly, and glared at his imperial son, King Yong'an.

This glance stunned King Yong'an. His father had never given him such a stern look.

Duan Zisheng was embarrassed, so he had to ask for help from Liu Xin next to the emperor.

Liu Xin has followed the emperor for many years, so he naturally speculated his mind very thoroughly. He could see the meaning of the emperor's every move. In this situation, the emperor did not mean to let go. It's clearly the life of the master. So, he secretly gestured to Duan Zisheng to kill without forgiveness.

Duan Zisheng comprehended, picked up the shocking wood, slapped it vigorously, and said in a majestic tone: "Xiangye committed a heinous crime and mutilated the prince, the law is intolerable, and he should be beheaded." Whoever opens his mouth to intercede again will be punished together. ”

Many courtiers were panicked and did not dare to say more.

Xiangye raised his head in disbelief, his face was terrified and mixed with a sad look. Just now, when he saw the civil and military officials coming to intercede for him, a hope suddenly rose in his heart. If the emperor has any scruples and the intercession of hundreds of officials plays a role, then he still has a glimmer of hope for survival.

As long as Duan Zisheng relents and changes the verdict, then he will be fine. Because, the emperor passed the buck to Duan Zisheng, and Duan Zisheng had the final say. He also admired his daughter Xia Wenxuan's foresight, and it was a wise choice to ask for a joke.

However, let him bow his head to the emperor, he is not so awkward, let him bow to Duan Zisheng? This was worse than killing him.

Who knows, Duan Zisheng even ignored the pleas of hundreds of officials, and still had a tough attitude to sentence him to death, and did not allow hundreds of officials to intercede for him again.

After sweeping around the people in the court, Xiangye decided that except for Duan Zisheng, only Chu Tiankuo could save him. remembered his daughter Xia Wenxuan's hint before, and asked him to beg Chu Tiankuo, and Chu Tiankuo would let him go.

The idea of survival dominated Xiangye, and as a last resort, he followed the advice of his daughter Xia Wenxuan and turned to Chu Tiankuo.

Well, Xiang Ye recalled those things in the past, he had always been planning to harm Chu Tiankuo, but Chu Tiankuo blindly backed down and did not take any means to retaliate against him. Otherwise, with Chu Tiankuo's unfathomable martial arts, it would be easy to kill him.

Moreover, after Chu Tiankuo was confirmed as the crown prince, Chu Tiankuo did not complain to the emperor and expose that he had framed him. It can be seen that if he begs Chu Tiankuo for mercy, Chu Tiankuo is very likely to let him go.

Xiang Ye made up his mind and was ready to change the object of begging for mercy from the emperor to Chu Tiankuo.

What everyone didn't expect, including Xiang Ye, before Xiang Ye spoke, Chu Tiankuo took the initiative to intercede for Xiang Ye.

It is true that Chu Tiankuo heard his father's words. He had the intention to intercede for Xiangye, but he didn't know whether to open his mouth to his father or Duan Zisheng. After his father's clear statement, he opened his mouth to Duan Zisheng.

He clicked: "Master Duan, for the sake of Xia Wenxuan's meritorious work in solving the case, it is better to consider her suggestion." ”

When Xia Wenxuan heard Chu Tiankuo's words, she felt like a few mouthfuls of boiling water in the cold winter wax moon, and suddenly felt hot all over her body. He fulfilled his promise and opened his mouth to help her father intercede. She stopped crying, and looked at Chu Tiankuo blankly with a pair of expectant and eager eyes.

She put all her hopes on Chu Tiankuo, and with Chu Tiankuo coming forward, her father would definitely be able to save his life.

Chu Tiankuo's deep magnetic voice came out and reached everyone's ears. The sound is very good, but why is the content of the words so strange? No one knew what he meant. Didn't he tactfully plead for Xiangye again?

It can be said that the people in the hall, except for Yanxiang and Xia Wenxuan, everyone else is extremely shocked. It stands to reason that Xiang Ye hurt Chu Tiankuo so miserably, Chu Tiankuo should hate Xiang Ye to the bone. However, how could Chu Tiankuo intercede for Xiangye?

Duan Zisheng suspected that he had misheard, he had already said that whoever would intercede for Xiangye would be punished together. And Chu Tiankuo's plea was very tactful and subtle, he couldn't help but pretend to be surprised and asked, "Chu Tiankuo, what did you just say?" ”

Chu Tiankuo was slightly stunned, thinking about how to reply. He didn't believe that Master Duan didn't understand what he meant. Obviously, Master Duan was a tactful refusal.

Also, the things that Xiangye did violated the law of the country, and Lord Duan strictly enforced the law, how could he open the net? Besides, Duan Zisheng has already made it clear that he is not allowed to intercede for Xiangye again. What can I do?

He had already promised Xia Wenxuan to intercede for her father. Since I promised her, I will do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Tian said in embarrassment: "Master Duan, I don't pursue the persecution of Xiang Ye in the past. ”

Duan Zisheng was stunned. The heinous crimes committed by Xiang Ye were all aimed at Chu Tiankuo, and he was plotting to kill Chu Tiankuo. If, Chu Tiankuo, as a victim, does not investigate the responsibility of Xiang Ye, he can spare Xiang Ye's life from a legal point of view. However, why did Chu Tiankuo do this?

Chu Tiankuo is pleading for Xiangye, but he is pleading around the corner.

The emperor was a little surprised, how could his emperor have such a broad mind? He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Chi Le had a spitting expression on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Chu Tiankuo, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.

In the twenty-fifth year of Xingde, the country of the Great West was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Wunan Mountain in the northwest of Fengcheng, the imperial capital, after the heavy rain, the sky is exceptionally clear, the sun has tilted westward, and the clear blue sky has disappeared. In the afterglow of the sunset, the mountains still maintain the freshness and coolness after the rain, just like "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn." The realm.

The sky gradually changed to a pale white, white, light red, red, and rosy color.

Wunan Mountain, a mountain full of bamboo, a boundless sea of bamboo. At the highest place on the top of the mountain, there is a secluded and elegant dwelling, all made of bamboo, divided into two layers up and down, hanging a plaque, with four big characters "Wunan Villa" written on it. There is a large yard in front of the bamboo house, and the yard is planted with exotic grasses. When the breeze blows, you can smell the aroma of flowers and plants.

"Senior brother, you have to stay a few more days when you come back this time, we haven't seen each other for two years. I heard that everyone in the rivers and lakes calls you the son of a fan. A delicate-faced girl stood in the courtyard, wearing a white dress, no fat powder, but it was fresh and refined, like a budding white lotus, only to hear the girl's voice was extremely sweet: "Your martial arts are so powerful, I have your protection, and I am no longer afraid of encountering thieves and gangsters." ”

"I don't like to listen to flattery. I usually tell you to practice martial arts diligently, but you don't practice seriously. Senior brother Chu Tiankuo gently patted the head of the cigarette with the fan in his hand, put on a straight face, and pretended to be serious: "If you meet a bad person in the future, I don't care about you." ”

"Hmph, you don't care about the little junior sister." Yan Xiang pursed his lips, glared at Chu Tiankuo, turned his face away, and pretended to be angry.

"Heh, you are my only junior sister, how could I not care about you. During the time I was away, I walked the rivers and lakes thinking about you and Master in my heart. Chu Tiankuo looked at her with a look of annoyance, and said with a smile: "I can't protect you for the rest of my life, you will always marry in the future." ”
