One of the attendants standing behind him heard the order and immediately stepped forward with a silver tray containing a flask and a cup.

This time, Li Mo came to the border pass of Shangyang County as a messenger to deliver the decree, he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, and now his face was also fearless.

In fact, in his heart, he really didn't worry about Qin Zhao's resistance. As a close minister of the emperor, he knew the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince too well.

Indecisive, benevolent and righteous, full of literati thoughts, and values loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and law more than anything else.

According to the words of these ministers behind their backs, it is: "Gentle to the point of being almost stupid, and benevolent to the point of being almost pedantic."

If this was Emperor Xia's will, Qin Zhao would never refuse.

The questions that Li Mo said before were even more important questions that his father-in-law Li Fu had repeatedly explained, in order to suppress Qin Zhao's momentum first and make him understand his sins!

Not to mention, if it weren't for the fact that Qin Zhao had changed now, judging from what he knew from memory, it was really very likely that the predecessor would commit suicide.

It's a pity that Li Mo doesn't know that he is no longer the Qin Zhao of the past.

"Envoy Li, can you let His Highness personally take a look at the edict?"

After a long silence, Qin Zhao made his request.

Li Mo was slightly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this prince to question.

But he didn't panic, because the edict was indeed true.

This edict came out of the emperor's chariot and was ordered by the CRRC government - his father-in-law Li Fu personally handed it to him, how could it be fake?!

And at that time, Li Fu also told him that he had to see Qin Zhao die with his own eyes before leaving.

Although he didn't understand why Emperor Xia suddenly made this arrangement, it wasn't something he needed to worry about. When the edict arrived, the crown prince was executed, Yan Qingjun was recalled, and his task was completed.

"Absolutely." Li Mo smiled slightly, took out the brocade silk he had just read out, and handed it to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao took the edict and looked at it carefully with a complicated expression.

Handwriting was not important, and the emperor's decrees were often written by those close to him. The key lies in the seal and the material of the edict.

In particular, the edict brocade silk used to write the emperor's will is very special and is processed through multiple processes. Each of them has special secrecy measures, and no one except the emperor knows about it. And these blank edicts are also kept by Emperor Xia himself, and they will only be taken out and used when they need to be transmitted.

As for the seal, it is not easy to fake. Except for the Emperor, only the Palm Seal Inner Attendant had access to it.

He held the edict in his hand like this, and after gently rubbing it and carefully examining it, he exhaled slowly, his eyes lowered, and his eyes were obscure.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter, do you have anything else to say?" Li Mo's tone began to become a little impatient.

Hearing his urging, Qin Zhao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but ignored it, instead turned his head to look at Yan Qingjun who was standing quietly on the side.

Clear eyes fixed on her, "General Yan, I am inexperienced, please help me distinguish it." ”

As he spoke, he handed her the edict.

Li Mo, who was standing on the side, raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding the meaning of Qin Zhao's move.

As the crown prince, how could he not see the authenticity of the emperor's edict?

Yan Qingjun took the edict silently and observed it carefully, and then seemed to be a little out of the world.

It was returned to Qin Zhao after a long time.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's better for you to judge for yourself, I can't tell for a while."

Hearing Yan Qingjun's reply, Qin Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But their eyes were still on her.

"This edict is a fake!"

"What did you say?!" When Li Mo heard this, he asked angrily.

The female general ignored the envoy, but glanced at Qin Zhao.

“……”

"I see."

After a moment, she tapped her head, her expression a little uncertain.

Today's decision may change the fate of the Yan family in the future, and even the fate of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

But she had a gut feeling that she wouldn't make the wrong choice this time.

And she's always trusted her instincts.

"General Yan, what crime should I be guilty of forging the emperor's edict?!"

Qin Zhao looked at Li Mo coldly, and his voice was full of murderous intent!

Yan Qingjun, who was standing aside at this time, was also a little surprised in his heart after hearing the meaning of his words.

However, when he answered, he did not hesitate at all, and responded directly: "The crime of exaggeration will be cut in half according to the law!" ”

The reason why she was surprised was only because she felt that this decision was a little inconsistent with Qin Zhao's usual behavior, but it was definitely not disappropriating.

On the contrary, she now admires Qin Zhao's decisiveness.

At this time, let Li Mo go back, that would do more harm than good.

If this edict is really what Emperor Xia meant, Qin Zhao's current behavior is to resist the decree, Li Mo went back and said that he directly confirmed the matter, and there was no room for mediation in the future.

If there is another hidden story in this edict, there must be some details that they don't know, and letting people go back will also startle the snake, and there will be endless troubles.

She actually wanted to remind Qin Zhao to deal with this person, but considering that the two sides of the monarch and the minister were not in close contact at this stage, it was not suitable to talk about this matter, so she gave up.

But he didn't expect that the prince of the dynasty, who was known as a benevolent name, would be so decisive.

After hearing the words of the two, Li Mo's expression suddenly changed, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" Don't make such jokes with your ministers. ”

The four guards next to him also sensed something was wrong, and quietly adjusted their positions.

"Who are you, it's worth joking with you." Qin Zhao's voice was low, but his expression became more and more solemn.

"Qin Zhao! Do you want to resist the decree?! The envoy's face turned pale in an instant, and he was shocked.

He couldn't understand why this situation had suddenly evolved, and the person who was going to die had become himself instead?!

"I don't know about the execution, can General Yan do it for me?" Qin Zhao ignored Li Mo's angry shouts and turned his head to look at Yan Qingjun beside him.

In fact, it stands to reason that this matter cannot be handed over to Yan Qingjun.

People have just been loyal to themselves, so they let her do this kind of thing, which is a bit of a force for her to surrender.

But Qin Zhao's original intention was definitely not like this. The main reason is that he can't handle this Li Mo now, and there is no one else here, so there is really no other way.

However, Yan Qingjun was also mentioned in the edict, and the two of them were already in the same camp anyway.

And Yan Qingjun should have understood what Qin Zhao meant.

The reason why he wanted to give the edict to Yan Qingjun to confirm it again just now was not that he couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake, but that he needed to determine whether Yan Qingjun could solve these people, or at least be able to protect him.

If he couldn't, he wouldn't have solved the problem this way.

Qin Zhao knew that Yan Qingjun was a master of the "God Refining" realm, and there was a mark on the luck gold list. But the problem was that he didn't know what this realm represented at all, how strong it was, and he didn't know how the people on the other side were cultivating.

"Right now, it's just the two of you here, and none of the guards are here, so you don't think you can fight five with one, right?"

Li Mo quickly calmed down and shouted coldly.

He knew that the crown prince had never cultivated, and he didn't count his combat power.
