Chapter 185: Death
Xiao Jingxing's words were simply slapping him in the face.
Xiao Ze's face was pale, and he wanted to say something to refute him, but in the end, he only opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
He lost.
Lost completely.
The emperor didn't care about Xiao Ze's thoughts.
A son, although he was very disappointed, was not as important as a national event.
Being able to harvest ten cities, and the stability of southern Xinjiang for decades or even a hundred years can be regarded as the greatest comfort that can be given to him after losing a son.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, as you said, let them cede the ten cities in the north, and we will retreat, if they don't, then continue to fight, I want to see if his soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty are brave, or the soldiers of my Great Yuan Kingdom are more brave." ”
Once this matter has been agreed, there is no room for change.
The choice of the person for the peace talks needs to be carefully decided, and it must not be too conspicuous or unprestigious.
After all, what the Great Abyss Kingdom wants is actually peace talks, just peace talks as the victorious side.
The Great Yuan Kingdom did not have the idea of annexing the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if the war continued, the two countries would only be dragged into the flames of war, and the people would not be able to rest and recuperate, and the taxes would be too heavy, which was not a good thing for the Great Yuan Kingdom itself.
Therefore, facilitating peace talks was not only hoped for by the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also by the emperor of the Great Yuan Kingdom.
This matter needs to be discussed tomorrow morning.
At this time, the most important thing is how to deal with Xiao Ze.
The emperor's reaction was decisive.
He knew that after today, even if he wanted to leave Xiao Ze's life, it would be impossible to stay, collaborating with the enemy and treason, which was a capital crime for anyone, even if he was the emperor's son.
It's just that the emperor's son betrayed his country, and it can be regarded as a royal scandal in the end, so the emperor means that this matter will be handled in a low-key manner, and if the person dies, forget it, and the crime or something can be covered up first.
Xiao Jingxing didn't care about these false names and didn't express his opinion.
Naturally, Yun Tianyue will not have an opinion.
Although Yun Tingyue hopes to see him infamous and everyone shouting and beating him compared to letting him die quietly, Xiao Jingxing is also a member of the royal family, and what Xiao Ze did is related to the reputation of the entire royal family, so she doesn't want to expose the truth so much.
Eventually, the emperor set Xiao Ze's death date for three days later.
The person has been sent to prison, and the death penalty is also very simple, a cup of poison, a three-foot white silk, and a short dagger, just choose by himself.
Xiao Ze was escorted down from the Qianqing Palace, although no one in the outside world knew what crime he had committed, but being escorted out of this place meant that he had offended the emperor, and the emperor had the intention to kill him, and it was useless for anyone to intercede.
Therefore, this time the queen closed her eyes very interestingly, and she couldn't see it.
Although Concubine Li was in a hurry, there was no way.
She is such a son, naturally she tries her best to protect him, but she is soft-spoken, even if she gives birth to a son, she will be a concubine in her old age, and it is usually difficult to even see the emperor, where can she speak?
Some of the ministers in the court were Xiao Ze's party, seeing that he was sent to prison, they all didn't know the inside story, and at the beginning there were people who interceded for him in the court, feeling that the emperor's punishment was too heavy, until the emperor killed the two ministers in court, everyone was silent, and no one dared to help Xiao Ze say a word.
Three days later, the great eunuch Chang Xi was ordered to see off Xiao Ze in person.
At this time, Xiao Ze's face was like a withered face, his hair was scattered, and his clothes were dirty and smelly, although it was only three days, but the whole person seemed to have been drained of his spirit, and he had aged a lot all of a sudden.
He looked at Chang Xi and didn't pick up the three things he asked people to hand over.
Chang Xi sighed: "Four princes, this is a holy order, the slave still respectfully calls you the fourth prince, and I hope you don't embarrass the old slave." ”
Xiao Ze smiled.
Bewilderment?
Could he have felt embarrassed too?
Over the years, who doesn't know that he is the most important and trusted person around his father? He helped his father deal with any dirty things, and everyone regarded him as his father's henchman, but who knows, in fact, he has long been in collusion with Xiao Jingxing?
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed.
Said to Chang Xi: "I don't expose your relationship with the emperor's uncle, but I have a request." ”
Chang Xi paused, looking at him with a bit of sarcasm.
"The old slave and the regent are innocent, I don't understand what Xiao Gongzi is talking about, but if Xiao Gongzi has any requirements, he can talk to the old slave, since the old slave was ordered to send Xiao Gongzi on the road, he naturally will not let Xiao Gongzi go with resentment."
Xiao Ze didn't care about the sarcasm in his words, and said in a deep voice: "I want to see the clouds and the moon." ”
Often surprised.
frowned.
"Xiao Gongzi, princess, she ......"
"I only have this one request, I want to see the clouds and the moon! Bring her to me, I will take what you have in your hand, so that you can successfully go back to your life, if you don't help me, then wait for a hideous-looking, unwilling corpse to be sent back to my father, although I made a mistake, but in the end it is my father's son, I don't believe that he saw me so dead, he will think that you did your best on this errand! ”
Chang Xi: "......"
He was a little helpless.
In the end, he still relied on Xiao Ze's words and said in a deep voice: "Then Xiao Gongzi wait a while, and our family will let someone send a letter to the princess regent." ”
When the letter was delivered to the regent palace, Yun Tianyue had just changed her clothes and was about to go out.
When she suddenly saw the little eunuch who came to deliver the letter, she was still a little surprised.
"What? Xiao Ze wants to see me? What did he see me doing? I don't have much to do with him. ”
She subconsciously wanted to refuse.
I really feel bad luck when I see him.
What's more, he is still a dying man.
The little eunuch who came to deliver the letter was so anxious that his face was red.
"Princess, you should help, my father-in-law was ordered to send the four princes a ride, but the four princes refused to go on the road, they had to see you again, and the father-in-law had no choice but to let the servants come to ask you ......"
The eunuch was castrated at an early age and was destined to have no children in his life, so the slightly powerful eunuchs liked to accept their sons.
The little eunuch in front of him is Chang Xi's righteous son.
Yun Qiyue hesitated.
Thinking that Chang Xi was the person next to the emperor in the end, and there was something occasionally in the past, and there were many things to help Xiao Jingxing speak in front of the emperor, she sighed.
"Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll come when I go."
As she spoke, she went back to her room and changed her clothes.
It was really going to go to the suburbs to go out, so she wore a beautiful dress like a flower brocade and jade, but now it has become to go to see Xiao Ze in prison, she doesn't want to spoil a good dress, and that person doesn't deserve to see her dress so well, so she has to change!
After Yun Tianyue came out again, he got into the carriage to the prison.
It wasn't long before the carriage stopped outside the prison door.
Chang Xi had already come out to greet her, and when he saw her coming down, he immediately bowed forward and said with a smile: "Princess, you can count it, our family is incompetent, we are not effective, and we have to bother the princess to run a trip, I am really sorry." ”
