readx;?“ Your Majesty, I beg you, the old minister......"

Jinling City, in front of the gate of the imperial city, the tired **** Qian was kneeling in front of the city gate, begging and shouting hoarsely, and constantly bowing respectfully to the imperial city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince the **** Qian returned from Beijiang, he has been kneeling here day after day for more than a month, almost every day before dawn he kneels here and begs, and this kneeling is often a whole day.

The reason why Qian did this was actually very simple, that is, to pray for Emperor Yan Chong to open up to Han Xiao and exempt Han Xiao's family from the death penalty!

Yes, after **** Qian took Han Xiao back to Jinling City through the teleportation array, the two planned to go directly to pay homage to the Emperor Yan Chong, but they didn't want to be stopped by a group of golden guards who suddenly killed on the way to the Golden Palace, and then the Shengdong King Yan Yi personally came out to Han Xiao to announce the will of the emperor, that is, to directly put Han Xiao, who returned from the northern Xinjiang, on death row, and wait for the fall.

And when Han Xiao heard the news, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he immediately asked to meet the emperor in person, but was ruthlessly rejected by Yan Yu. Yan Yi ordered the golden guards to directly suppress Han Xiao on the grounds that the emperor didn't want to see Han Xiao again, and Han Xiao, who was furious, attacked a group of golden guards on the grounds that Yan Yi faked the emperor's order, and actually wanted to forcibly break into the palace. Due to the chaotic situation at that time, **** Qian couldn't control the scene at all, and Han Xiao and Yan Yi were-for-tat, and no one was willing to back down half a step, so this melee actually caused Han Xiao to mistakenly kill more than a dozen golden guards in a row, and then when this farce was about to end. Emperor Yan Chong finally came forward, he originally just wanted to punish Han Xiao first, and put him on death row to frustrate Han Xiao's spirit, but he didn't expect that the anxious Han Xiao would be so bold and reckless, and even killed the emperor's personal soldier Golden Guard in the imperial city.

The emperor was furious about this, and even if he changed the future to the crime of beheading Han Xiao's entire family on the day of the beginning of spring. And until this moment, Han Xiao not only pleaded for himself, but even kept saying that Lan Shixun was the thief who really plotted to rebel, and spoke disrespectfully to the emperor, saying that the emperor was a prince of the ages, there was no distinction between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery were unknown, and he would be a sinner in the Sacred Domain in the future.

Although what Han Xiao said about Lan Shixun was true, it was extremely inappropriate when he said this, and Han Xiao, who was furious at the time, was open-mouthed, and repeatedly offended the high-ranking emperor, so that the emperor Yan Chong didn't want to listen to Han Xiao's explanation at all, and directly ordered someone to put Han Xiao on death row. Although Han Xiao's cultivation was unfathomable, and even if Han Xiao wanted to forcibly escape at that time, he was afraid that no one would be able to stop him, but after all, Han Xiao respected the Emperor from the bottom of his bones, and he could make a move against Yan Yi, but it was impossible for him to make a move against the Emperor. What's more, now that the more than 400 members of the Han family are all on death row, if Han Xiao runs away, not only will he not be able to clear his grievances, but he will even sit down to accept the emperor's sins against him, and the lives of his family will be cut off immediately, and these are the things that Han Xiao does not want to see.

So, on the day Han Xiao returned to Jinling City, he was put on death row by the emperor, not only on death row, but also on the unforgivable crime of the nine clans by the emperor himself. Therefore, there will be today's **** Qian, who has been kneeling in front of the imperial city gate for more than a month, begging bitterly. Qian knew in his heart that although Han Xiao was reckless this time, the emperor was indeed confused, what Han Xiao said was true, the real rebel and thief was Lan Shixun. And the reason why Han Xiao has come to this point is all because there is a big misunderstanding between him and the emperor, **** Qian has always believed that as long as the misunderstanding is solved, the emperor will be able to see everything rationally and release Han Xiao's family.

But the most regrettable thing is that since the day Han Xiao was imprisoned, **** Qian begged for the emperor to no avail, **** Qian has never had a chance to step into the imperial city for half a step. He was grounded by Emperor Yanchong, ordering him not to enter the imperial city without being summoned. Therefore, it can be said that **** Qian has not even seen the shadow of the emperor for more than a month, let alone pleaded in person. But even so, **** Qian still did not give up, he still came to the gate of the imperial city day after day to kneel and beg, he firmly believed that as long as Han Xiao did not die, he would definitely have the opportunity to make Emperor Yan Chong change his mind.

But I don't wait for me, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and there are only seven days left before the day of the beginning of spring, and these seven days are undoubtedly a blink of an eye for today's Jinling City, so as the day of the beginning of spring is approaching, **** Qian has also become more and more urgent.

Although the people of the Lu family have repeatedly advised **** Qian not to wade into this troubled water, **** Qian still can't ignore his love for Han Xiao, and swears to try to rescue Han Xiao's family even if he is broken. The people of the Lu family were helpless in every way, so they could only let **** Qian continue to mess around like this.

Now Han Xiao's family is trapped on death row, and the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out. And **** Qiankong has a stomach of grievances to say to the emperor, but he begs for nothing all day long. For more than a month, the city of Jinling can be said to be deserted to the extreme, and the people in the city seem to have smelled the fusion of wind and clouds in the court, so although the New Year has just passed, this year's New Year is extremely dull, and even the decline of the New Year's Festival atmosphere seems to have receded very quickly.

The three major mansions in Jinling City, the Huguo Gonghan Mansion, the Wending Gonglu Mansion, and the Zhenbei Gonglan Mansion, used to be very lively in the city, but this month, these three mansions are all deserted to the extreme, and even the other ministers in the court now dare not move around with these three families without authorization, for fear that one accidentally stands on the wrong team and will be affected by something.

Among them, Han Xiao's Protectorate Mansion is the most desolate. The two vermilion gold ingot doors were closed tightly, and between the two gates, a seal engraved with the imperial seal was quietly pasted there, and the big word "seal" on the seal made everyone feel embarrassed when they saw it. A thin layer of dust has now fallen on the steps in front of the gate, and the two lifelike unicorn sculptures standing on both sides of the gate are now dusty and difficult to sweep.

The dust in front of the door is stained with leaves, and the first snow of yesterday is still ahead. It's not sad or sad to watch.

"Your Majesty! I beg you, old minister......" In the evening, **** Qian, who had been kneeling here for a whole day, was still pleading bitterly with a hoarse voice, "Lord Han is not a thief, please let Your Majesty know ......"

At this moment, **** Qian's whole person looked extremely tired, his body was paralyzed and knelt in front of the gate of the imperial city, his arms were holding the ground with difficulty, but he was still stubbornly looking up at the scene inside the door. And at this moment, not far behind **** Qian, a carriage with a "Lufu" lantern is waiting there quietly, and next to the carriage there is a bitter but helpless ancient.

"Lord Lu, I advise you to go back!" a guard standing outside the gate of the imperial city persuaded helplessly, "You have been kneeling here for more than a month, but Your Majesty still refuses to summon you, which shows that Your Majesty has made up your mind, and no matter how much you kneel, it will be useless!"

"That's it, Lord Lu, you are no more rough than us, you can't stand the wind and rain all day long, I advise you to go back and rest early!" another guard also chimed in.

"You ......" **** Qian raised his head with difficulty, looked at the sergeants guarding the door with a longing expression, and said tremblingly, "Can you let me in......?"

"Oh! we can't afford this!" a sergeant waved his hand again and again after hearing **** Qian's words, "If we let you go privately, then the lives of our brothers will be explained together, Lord Lu still don't embarrass us!"

"Lord Lu, but there are many masters in the imperial city, there are many guards, it can be described as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, even if we let you in, you will be driven out if others find out, and then you will have to fall into the capital crime of trespassing in the imperial city, why bother?"

All of a sudden, several sergeants guarding the door persuaded each other, making the already disheartened **** Qian even more desperate.

"Your Majesty......"

"Lord Lu!" Before **** Qian opened his mouth again, a slightly cold voice suddenly passed through the city gate, and when **** Qian hurriedly raised his head, he saw the 'King of the Holy West' Yan Zheng walking slowly.

Yan Zheng is relatively young among the four holy kings, but he is also a relatively intelligent one, in fact, there have been several times before when Yan Zheng spoke in time to dissuade and remind the emperor to be sensible, otherwise **** Qian will be implicated if he doesn't do it well. Qian knew the personalities of the four great holy kings, so when he saw Yan Zheng, his face couldn't help but be happy, he knew that compared to the other three, Yan Zheng was at least a person who could listen to him.

"See King Shengxi!" **** Qian hurriedly bowed down again as soon as he saw Yan Zheng.

"Lord Lu, please get up!" Yan Zheng quickly stepped forward and personally helped **** Qian up, and then he looked **** Qian up and down with a touch of meaningful gaze, and said slowly, "Lord Lu, why are you doing this?"

"King of the Saints, I ......"

"Huh!" didn't wait for **** Qian to open his mouth to intercede for Han Xiao, but Yan Zheng waved his hand abruptly, and then he took **** Qian's arm, slowly walked away from the city gate, and walked towards **** Qian's carriage, "Lord Lu, I can't talk to you much, but I can't bear to see you doing this every day for dozens of days, so I secretly came out to meet you behind Your Majesty's back, the purpose is to warn you, you must know how to protect yourself!"

"Lord Han was wronged! Lan Shixun is a rebellious minister and thief......"

"Shhhhh

"What does King Shengxi mean by this? I said that Lan Shixun is a chaotic minister and thief, how can I talk about great rebellion?"

"Lord Lu, are you really confused or pretending to be confused?" Yan Zheng frowned and looked at **** Qian, "Don't you know that His Majesty the Emperor has reused Lan Shixun now?" and personally transferred 50,000 troops to the Duke of Zhenbei, so that he could go to the northern Xinjiang to quell the war!"

"I know, but that's why I ...... because I know"

"Lord Lu!" Looking at **** Qian's anxious appearance, Yan Zheng couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then persuaded bitterly, "I think you are smart and confused for a while! Now Your Majesty has decided to reuse Lan Shixun, which is enough to show that in front of Han Xiao and Lan Shixun, the two generals in command, His Majesty has given up on Han Xiao and finally chose Lan Shixun! I don't care which is right or wrong between Han Xiao and Lan Shixun, but in the heart of the emperor, the two of them have already made a judgment, and there is a difference between far and near! In other words, the rebellious ministers and thieves you keep saying you want to impeach today are not against Lan Shixun, but against His Majesty's imperial prestige!"

"This ......"

"Since ancient times, the authority of the emperor has been supreme!" Yan Zheng lowered his voice a little, and at this moment he had already pulled **** Qian to the side of the carriage, "But the emperor is not a god, if you say something rebellious, the emperor may also make mistakes, Han Xiao may really be innocent, but all this is no longer important now! Lord Lu has been in power for many years, and he is in a high position, don't you still understand this truth? What is the emperor? The supreme is the emperor! It is impossible for the emperor to make a mistake, even if it is really wrong, it is not the fault of the emperor!" In the face of the authority of the Emperor, in fact, the right and wrong of the matter itself is no longer important! I will put it more extremely, in the face of the authority of His Majesty the Emperor, even if this part of the Northern Xinjiang has been lost, it is not so important! Remember, the Emperor, there can be no mistakes, and there can be no mistakes!"

"What does King Saint Si mean...... Your Majesty actually already knows that Lan Shixun is the real rebel and thief?" **** Qian asked with a look of surprise.

"Alas!" Yan Zheng couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he heard this, he didn't directly answer **** Qian's words, but said to himself, "In fact, after Lan Shixun took charge of the army, he moved all the family out of Jinling City overnight, and his intentions ...... How could Your Majesty not be able to guess it? It's just that your Majesty will not rashly judge the outcome of the matter before the last step is reached!"

"In that case, then why doesn't Your Majesty let Master Han go, and let's deal with Lan Shixun together......"

"Lord Lu! Lord Han spoke disrespectfully in front of His Majesty in front of many ministers of protection in the imperial city, and dared to scold His Majesty for being a faint monarch, and also killed more than a dozen golden guards in a row in front of everyone, and also participated in Lan Shixun's book in public, you must know that Lan Shixun has just been reused by the emperor, and now this matter has been known all over the city, if His Majesty releases Han Xiao and pursues Lan Shixun, isn't it equivalent to saying in front of the world that he believed the wrong person before? This is tantamount to His Majesty slapping himself in the face of the people of the world, is it possible? Lord Lu, let me tell you again, the emperor cannot be wrong! In front of the authority of the emperor, even the gains and losses in the northern Xinjiang are no longer important, do you think a Han Xiao is still important?" After that, Yan Zheng also gently reached out and patted **** Qian's shoulder, an indescribable light flashed in his eyes, and then stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Lu, you are a smart person, and this king will not go around in circles with you when he speaks." This time it was indeed wrong, and it was very wrong, but the person who had to bear the consequences for this mistake was not His Majesty the Emperor, but ...... Han Xiao!"

"This ......"

"I don't think this king needs to say anything more about the following words, right?" Without waiting for the surprised **** Qian to react, Yan Zheng pushed **** Qian with both hands and sent him to the carriage, and then said loudly, "Lord Lu, it's dark this day, the road is not easy to walk, you must not just rely on feelings, and finally take the wrong road, in that case, you won't be able to go home......!"

Yan Zheng laughed and turned around and walked towards the imperial city, while **** Qian sat quietly in the carriage and let the carriage sway towards the Lu Mansion, but he couldn't calm the shock in his heart for a long time.

"If you wait for the snow to be wronged, then there is still a glimmer of life! If you know that you have been wronged, but you are still condemned to death, this is intentional! There is still a chance for an unintentional loss...... But if you intend to kill, you are doomed to death...... This time, you are suffering for the emperor, how can I save you......"
