"Your Highness......" You Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu, and stopped talking.

Shangguan Xiu said: "Your Majesty has handed over the trial of this case to me, Lord You doesn't know?

You Ling sighed secretly, and finally handed over Jun Shengtian's confession to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Your Highness, Weichen has found out that this assassination was done by Jun Shengtian, and it has nothing to do with other family patriarchs. ”

Shangguan Xiu took the confession and read it from beginning to end. Jun Shengtian confessed in his confession that Tang Mingzhu took the initiative to find him, and persuaded him to elect a dead soldier on the grounds that His Majesty was determined to execute him, infiltrate the palace, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate.

When the two were conspiring, Tang Mingzhu kept hinting to him that Shangguan Xiu was the mastermind behind the murder of the monarch this time, as long as Jun Shengtian could help Shangguan Xiu do this, not only would he be spared, but the Jun family would not be implicated in any way.

After reading the confession, Shangguan Xiu put the confession aside and said, "Are you sure that apart from the Jun family, there are no other families involved?"

You Ling Zhengse said: "Yes, Your Highness, the rest of the family patriarchs did not participate in the assassination. ”

Shangguan Xiu said: "Since they are not involved, let them all go, by the way, let them all take care of their mouths, today's matter, whoever dares to leak a word will be killed." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!

The Wind Country has just conquered the Ningnan region, and the situation has not yet stabilized, if such a scandalous thing as a palace coup is spread again, let the people of Ningnan know that even the court is not peaceful, the Ningnan region will be even more chaotic, and the rebels will become more and more rampant.

Shangguan Xiu stood up and said, "Lord You, take me to see Jun Shengtian." ”

"Yes!" You Ling agreed, personally leading the way in front and taking Shangguan Xiu to the dungeon.

The scale of the dungeon of the Duwei Division is not much smaller than the dungeon of the Duwei Mansion, and there are countless people who have died here. Walking into the dungeon gives you a chilling and eerie feeling.

"Your Highness, please!" You Ling led Shangguan Xiu to a cell at the end of the dungeon, and through the fence, Shangguan Xiu saw Jun Shengtian sitting on the meadow, his original gorgeous clothes had been changed into white prison clothes, but he didn't have the slightest injury on his body.

Shangguan Xiu stared at Jun Shengtian for a moment, then turned his head to look at You Ling, who playfully ordered the jailer to open the cell door, and then walked away with a group of men. Shangguan Xiu entered the cell, looked at Jun Shengtian who lowered his head, and said, "Mr. Jun." ”

Jun Shengtian slowly raised his head, met Shangguan Xiu's gaze, smiled, and smiled bitterly.

He asked, "The old man really can't help but doubt it now, this is a game from beginning to end." "A bureau that put him to death. Otherwise, how can it be explained, the accomplice of the murderer of the monarch went to prison, but the mastermind of the murder of the monarch had nothing to do.

Shangguan Xiu walked up to Jun Shengtian, squatted down, and said, "You made a mistake. ”

"What kind of mistake? gullibility?" Yes, he believed Tang Mingzhu's words too easily, because he didn't think that he could be important enough to let the emperor and the prince of the Wind Country join forces to calculate him.

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth hooked, and said: "Mr. Jun is right, you are indeed too gullible to others, but what I said is credulous and what you think is credulous to others, it should not be the same thing." ”

After a pause, he said: "No one designed to frame you, there are indeed people who are plotting to kill the king, but the mastermind behind the scenes is not me, and I don't know anything about this matter." ”

When Jun Shengtian heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and his first reaction was that Shangguan Xiu was lying to him and deliberately dissociating himself from this matter.

He sneered and asked, "His Royal Highness is coming to see the old man now, but let the old man change his confession?" The old man can change his confession according to His Highness's wishes, but His Highness also needs to ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu interrupted: "Until now, you still think that I am the mastermind of this matter, and you still want to use this to blackmail me and save your life." ”

"Isn't it?"

"What if I say, I am not?"

Jun Shengtian's gaze fell directly on Shangguan Xiu's face, shook his head and said: "Impossible! This is impossible! You have saved Guan Xi's life several times, and Guan Xi has taken your head as a horse, if there is no order from you, how dare the 11th Army dare to plot a rebellion? The gendarmerie was formed by you, and it is the guards of you, His Royal Highness, who even took your words as a holy decree, and without your order, how could the gendarmerie dare to be so bold? Also, there is Tang Mingzhu, she was the eldest daughter of an unfavored foolish prince, it was you who rescued her from the tiger's mouth, and you also gave her a splendid future, how dare she do this without your instructions?"

"yes, how dare they do that without my behest. Shangguan Xiu sighed faintly and said, "They are all under the banner of thinking about me, but in fact, they are all seeking their own personal interests. His Majesty instructed him several times to execute Guan Xi, but I stopped him, and Guan Xi understood that His Majesty could no longer tolerate him, and if His Majesty did not die, he would die sooner or later. They can only stay in the gendarmerie, they can only be the general commander of the gendarmerie, and they will never be able to stand on top of the court and guide the world. As for Tang Mingzhu, she deceived everyone, including me, and even I don't know why she did this. ”

Listening to Shangguan Xiu's words, Jun Shengtian was stunned, and after a long time, he sat down on the meadow as if he had been drained of his strength all at once, speechless for a long time.

He thinks he knows everything about the situation in the Windy Country, but he misses one thing, and that is human nature.

I don't know how long it took, Jun Shengtian slowly raised his eyes, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and said, "So, Your Highness didn't come to ask me to revise my confession." ”

"Yes. ”

"Your Highness is here to see me off. ”

"Sort of. "Back then, the two of them, one was the general of the Wind Country, and the other was the general of Ningnan, and now, Shangguan Xiu is still the general of the Wind Country, and the Ningnan Imperial Court no longer exists, and Jun Shengtian, the general with infinite scenery back then, has also become a prisoner of the ranks.

"Old man, old man wants to ask His Highness for something. ”

Shangguan Xiu did not answer.

Jun Shengtian hurriedly said: "The assassination of the monarch is all done by the old man alone, and it has nothing to do with the Jun family, and I also ask His Royal Highness to protect the lives of the young and old of the Jun family." ”

Shangguan Xiu knew that at this time, Jun Shengtian was willing to beg himself, it must be this matter. He shook his head slowly and said, "You know, it's hard for me to do that. ”

Assassinating the monarch and plotting rebellion, no matter in which dynasty or generation, no matter in which country, is a capital crime that is extremely heinous and beheaded all over the house. Jun Shengtian closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and said, "Qi Han has always regarded His Highness as a confidant and close friend. ”

Jun Shengtian is very good at finding an entry point, and his words made Shangguan Xiu fall silent. After a long time, Shangguan Xiu slowly exhaled turbid breath and said: "The Jun family handed over all the Yong Champion owners, and the Jun family can be exempted from responsibility, this is the limit of what I can do." ”

His words made Jun Shengtian's body tremble involuntarily.

Yong Champion, is the Jun family for more than 100 years of painstaking cultivation of the family army, all of them are brave and good at fighting, all of them are not afraid of life and death, in the Yong Champion, the Jun family of the past generations, the ancestors, I don't know how much effort has been poured in.

Jun Shengtian's fist clenched and released, and then clenched after releasing it. He was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and finally turned his heart on his mind and said, "Yes." ”

"Tonight, Mr. Jun asked the champion to report to the Duwei Division, and I will have someone prepare pen and ink for Mr. Jun later. Also, early tomorrow morning, I want to hear the news that Mr. Jun committed suicide in prison. ”

After Shangguan Xiu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

When he walked out of the door of the cell, Jun Shengtian's choked voice came from behind him: "Old man, thank Your Highness here, and I hope Your Highness can do what he says!"

Shangguan Xiu's figure only paused for a moment, did not look back, and strode away. Next, he went to the cell where Tang Mingzhu was.

Compared with Jun Shengtian's humble cell, the environment of Tang Mingzhu's cell is much better, at least there is a long couch in the cell, and people are lying on it, not very comfortable, but it will not be too uncomfortable.

Tang Mingzhu sat on the couch, his legs curled together, and the whole person looked even more petite and pitiful. She looked straight at Shangguan Xiu, her eyes slowly rolling as he moved.

Shangguan Xiu wandered in the cell for a while, and then Fang said: "Jun Shengtian assassinated in order to protect himself, Guan Xi rebelled in order to survive, and he and Ziyin did not hesitate to give it a go and plot a rebellion for the sake of their future, but what about you? What are you doing this for?"

"Your Highness is here to ask me about my Xingshi?" Tang Mingzhu no longer called Shangguanxiu's brother-in-law, but was commensurate with His Highness who was blunt and estranged.

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said, "I just want to understand why you did this." ”

He narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "When I was forced to move the capital, Zhan Huan attacked Your Majesty, and then Your Majesty told me that you deliberately framed her, I still thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now that I think about it, Xiang'er should not have been untargeted at that time!"

"Hehe!" Tang Mingzhu was happy and sneered. She tilted her head, looked at Shangguan Xiu with a smile, raised her head and said, "Sometimes, Your Highness should also admit that a woman's intuition is often very accurate. ”

"Why do you do this? Xiang'er didn't do anything to hurt you. Before Tang Mingzhu entered the court, Tang Ling and her had almost no intersection at all, and he really couldn't figure out where Tang Mingzhu's hatred for Tang Ling came from.

Tang Mingzhu put away her smile, her little face was covered with a gloomy color that did not match her age, and she said coldly: "People with the surname Tang should all die." ”

Shangguan Xiu frowned and said, "You are also surnamed Tang." ”

"So I'm damned too!"

"......" The current Tang Mingzhu is a completely unfamiliar Tang Mingzhu to him. "Why?" he asked.

"From the moment I was sensible and understood good and evil, I secretly swore in my heart that I would destroy the most precious thing of the Tang royal family with my own hands. It's a pity that I calculated everything, but I missed His Highness, I didn't expect that His Highness would switch identities with Tang Ling!"

"You know?"

Tang Mingzhu smiled and said: "Six shots in the body, even if the gods go down to earth, it is difficult to save, there is only one possibility to survive, there is armor in the clothes, and the armor that can prevent the spirit bullet, under the whole world, I am afraid that there is only the invisible used by His Highness, right? ”

At this point, she lowered her head and muttered like a nervous voice, "I should have thought of it, I should have seen it, but I was so excited, so excited......"

Through such a small detail, it can be deduced that he and Tang Ling have changed identities, and Shangguan Xiu has finally seen Tang Mingzhu's intelligence. He said: "With your wisdom, stay in the court, and you will become a great weapon in the future." ”

Tang Mingzhu shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and said, "It's a pity, there will never be such a chance again, will it?" As she spoke, she suddenly raised her back and laughed, and asked rhetorically, "Does Your Highness think I will care? Will I really work for the Tang family?"

Shangguan Xiu understood the tragic situation of Tang Mingzhu's childhood very clearly, and it was precisely because of this that he felt sorry for this child, insisted that she come out of the Pingwang Mansion, let her stay by his side, and pushed her to the high position of the court step by step.

He said: "Tang Xuan's fault alone, you shouldn't be involved in Your Majesty!"

"The people of the Tang royal family, everyone is at fault, everyone deserves to die, their blood is dirty! Is Tang Ling innocent? Haha, it's really ridiculous, an empress who killed her father and usurped the throne is also worthy of the word innocent?" Tang Mingzhu couldn't help but laugh wildly.
