Chapter 810: Watching Him Die
In the imperial study, Fu Cheng looked through several letters in a row, and they were all interceding for Shen Zhao.
Some people say that Shen Zhao has a lot of credit, he has done so many things for Dayong before, but now he just killed a few idle gentlemen, even if there is a mistake, the credit can be offset.
Others said that the case itself was suspicious, and the evidence that directly identified Shen Zhao may have been forged, and the princess of Tata had disappeared directly since she was insulted, which was also very suspicious. Maybe it was the Tata State's strategy to kill Dayong Zhongliang.
Others said that the people complained a lot about this matter, and if they still insisted on dealing with Shen Zhao, they were afraid that it would be counterproductive.
The reason why Fu Cheng did not go to court today was that he expected that Shen Zhengze would sell favors everywhere and beg some ministers to intercede for Shen Zhao.
So he simply didn't go to court, saw no one, and didn't give these people a chance to intercede at all.
He was now in a flat mood watching these twists and turns, and they all smiled.
Victorious people don't need to care what others say.
He was reincarnated here, and the purpose was not to be a good emperor, just to get Beibei again, and he was still afraid that the people would scold him.
Liu Xu beside him glanced at the twist and turn a few times, and saw that he probably said something, and said a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, Shen Zhao, this stinky boy, is quite popular with the people." ”
Fu Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at Liu Xu: "Are you not convinced?" ”
"That's naturally unconvincing." Liu Xu snorted coldly, and continued, "Actually, the slave and Shen Zhao are still related. ”
"And what's going on?"
"Yes, the Liu family was originally a big family in Xicheng, and the slaves were the lineage, and Shen Zhao's mother, the Liu family, was a very remote family. Later, the Liu family declined, and the slave entered the spy bureau. It's just that because he sold the information found by the spy bureau to an official, he will be killed by him. He chased me all the way to Qingxian, completely ignoring that I was his distant cousin, and directly abolished me! ”
Liu Xu gritted his teeth, and he was still angry when he said it until now.
Fu Cheng couldn't empathize with his anger, he just felt ridiculous: "You are really greedy, reselling the information of the spy bureau, no wonder Shen Zhao killed you." ”
Liu Xu immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although the slave is greedy, he is also honest, you see that the slave is not panicked at all, as soon as you ask, I will explain everything to you." ”
Fu Cheng didn't bother to listen to his sycophants, and asked, "Shen Zhao is going to be executed today, won't you go and take a look?" ”
"Don't go and watch it, didn't Shen Guogong say it, in order to give his son the last dignity, there are screens when he is executed, and he can't see anything when he goes to see it."
Liu Xu paused, and then said, "However, Your Majesty, the slave wants to ask for a favor...... Shen Zhao's head, can you give it to the minion? The minions took it back and kicked it as a ball. ”
Fu Cheng asked lightly: "What do you say?" ”
Liu Xu thought about it and sighed: "I'm afraid that the slave is whimsical, Shen Guogong will definitely take his son back for burial, and the emperor can't bully Shen Guogong too much for the sake of the stability of the court." The minion would take a look at Shen Zhao's head and make sure it was him. ”
"Hmm." Fu Cheng thought the same thing.
After Shen Zhao died, he always had to take a look at his head and corpse, so as not to make Shen Guogong and others secretly do something.
……
In the courtyard near the imperial study, Song Beibei was still watering the flowers.
She suddenly noticed a slight chill on her feet, and looked down to see that the water for watering flowers had been sprinkled on her shoes.
Song Beibei had no choice but to put down the kettle and change his shoes.
I don't know what's wrong with me today, I've been absent-minded.
When she returned to her room, she found that there were no shoes for the season, either thin cloth shoes for summer or cotton shoes for deep winter.
Originally, there were a few pairs of those worn in this season, but they were removed and cleaned up by the palace maid this morning.
Song Beibei had no choice but to walk out of the courtyard and find a palace maid: "I'm sorry for you to go to the Huanyi Bureau to get my shoes back." ”
The palace maid had been wandering at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, and had been trying to find a way to go in and talk to Song Beibei.
She hurriedly answered, and whispered in her ear: "Lord Shen is going to be beheaded at noon today." ”
After speaking, the palace maid didn't wait for Song Beibei's reaction, and immediately ran away.
Song Beibei was stunned in place, and then slowly realized what the palace maid was talking about!
She immediately chased two steps forward, wanting to ask her for clarification, but then she thought that when people told her the news so nervously just now, they must not want others to know that she was the one who reported the news.
She caught up with her now and asked, but she couldn't ask anything, she could only implicate one more person.
Song Beibei hesitated for a moment, and immediately walked towards the imperial study.
It's almost noon now, and time is running out, so I have to hurry up and find Fu Cheng to plead.
She already knew that she had a relationship with Shen Zhao, although she hadn't thought about it yet, she couldn't watch Shen Zhao die!
She rushed to the door of the imperial study as fast as she could.
"Is the emperor inside?"
The eunuch at the door said: "Here, the slave will go in and pass on the ...... for you."
"No need." Song Beibei broke in directly.
In the imperial study, Fu Cheng raised his head: "Beibei, why are you here?" ”
Song Beibei rushed straight to him, glanced at Liu Xu next to him, and said coldly: "You go out." ”
She still remembered that this man was a flower thief, and she was disgusted when she saw him.
Liu Xu pursed his lips, and seeing that Fu Cheng didn't say anything, he obediently retreated.
Fu Cheng noticed that Song Beibei left a lot of watermarks on her shoes on the way over, and after a closer look, her shoes were really soaked.
Fu Cheng helped her to sit on a chair, squatted in front of her and said, "Why are your shoes wet?" I'll help you take it off so you don't catch a cold. ”
Song Beibei retracted his feet and said nervously: "Ah Cheng, is Shen Zhao going to be beheaded today?" ”
"yes, he made a mistake."
"Can you spare him? Hurry up and send someone to shout that it's okay to keep people under the knife! ”
Fu Cheng was silent for a moment, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still remained gentle with Song Beibei: "Beibei, such a major will has been made, and it can't be changed overnight, and it's not a TV series to shout at this time to keep people under the knife." And it's almost noon, and even if I send someone to shout now, it's too late. ”
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, Song Beibei retracted his gaze, and suddenly laughed desperately.
"Ah Cheng, are you so determined to kill Shen Zhao, is it because I really have something to do with him?"
Fu Cheng replied to her words gently: "No, I ordered him to be killed, and it was a joint letter from hundreds of officials." If you don't believe me, I can show you the recitals of the hundred officials right now. ”
Song Beibei's eyes were involuntarily red.
She shook her head and looked at Fu Cheng's eyes quietly: "No need, you don't have to prove anything to me." But you'd better make sure that I won't be able to think of Shen Zhao for the rest of my life, otherwise...... I will definitely not be able to face you. ”
