In the midst of lightning, the temperature plummeted, and violent raindrops fell on the earth, splashing the ground, rooftops, and streets.

A waiter in a raincoat rushed quickly across the square between the front palace and the main palace, ran up to the platform of the royal council building out of breath, and said something to the waiter outside the main hall.

"His Majesty the Emperor. The attendant who received the notification stepped into the palace gate: "Governor Wei Lun handed over the card to meet him, and he is now waiting for the summons at the main palace gate." ”

"Let him wait. His Majesty Cohen didn't even raise his head, still looking at the Saran family insignia in his hand: "Yarsad, have you calmed down? ”

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor. Yarsad put down the cup in his hand: "Veron...... It's a big badass!"

"Kid, Wei Lun was a high-ranking official before he was proven guilty, even nobles can't say that about him, whether he is a bastard or not should be judged by the emperor. Prince Visu touched Yarsad's head and pointed at him as if he were his own son: "Tell the matter and let the emperor judge." ”

"Yes. Yarsad lowered his head and thought for a while: "Probably just after the end of the war between gods and demons, my father suddenly gathered the whole family one day and told us that the left prime minister Lu Man rebelled, and that the Saran family had been loyal and brave for generations, and they couldn't soften their bones at this time...... Later, my father arranged for me to live in a remote village, accompanied by servants and guards, and for a long time after that, my father and his family were not heard from until that day......"

"It was one night when the army came to protect my father, whose body was covered in bloodstained bandages. There is also an arm missing. Although there are magicians who have been treating him. But the blood kept flowing. Yarsad whispered, tears falling from his cheeks on the carpet in front of him: "Finally, when it was reported that the rebels were coming after me, my father called me over, gave me the crystal ball, and told me that it was Veron Design who had framed him. ”

Although he had long known that it was a good thing that Viren had done, he listened to what Yarsad said in a childish voice. The ministers sitting around the room still felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were there in person.

"My father told me that if I can't reach the Dark Moon Province, I'll have to stay in hiding, and no matter what, I'll have to wait until the day the empire is restored to meet the new emperor...... Otherwise, no one will know about Velen's heinous crimes, and there will be people who will plant many crimes on the Saran family. ”

"And then?" asked one of the ministers softly, "...... your father?"

"I was taken out of the village, and when I climbed over the two hills, I saw a fire burning in the direction of the village, and the light of the fire reflected the whole sky. Yarsad looked at his tiptoes. His fists were clenched, and his whole body was shaking: "I...... I don't know what happened to my father......"

Under the portico from the front palace to the main palace. Governor Velun stood quietly, and the majestic royal council building seemed so blurry and distant in the vast rain...... The expression on Wei Lun's face condensed, and he stepped down the steps.

"Governor Velon—what are you doing?" one of the guards shouted, "You can't go in without an order from His Majesty the Emperor!"

Governor Velun slowly turned around and replied indifferently: "If you think I deserve to die, you can cut me!" After saying that, Velen walked into the rain and let the torrential rain drench him inside and out.

The guards were about to rush over and grab Velon, but several governors came one after another in front of the door, and they rushed into the door together with a waist paddle in their hands to invite His Majesty the Emperor, and tightly guarded the side of Governor Velon.

Seeing that there were too many violators, the guards formed a circle to surround them and report them upwards. The order of the prefect on duty is: monitor first, and once you enter the guard area of the Royal Chamber, you will be taken into custody immediately!

Outside the front gate, more and more nobles arrived in horse-drawn carriages, unaware that the matter was related to the Saran family, but their unusually sensitive noses smelled a strange smell.

In the storm, under the watchful eye of the guards, Velons led the way with his so-called hard-working "brothers" who were tied to a line, and walked forward slowly, and when he was in the middle of the square, the governor of Veron howled, "Your Majesty the Emperor!" and knelt down into the rushing rain.

This situation will naturally be reported to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.

"Let him kneel—something!" His Majesty Cohen was furious after receiving the report: "Let those nobles who have come to see the excitement enter the main palace gate, and since they want to see it, let them see enough! Saran!"

White Shadow carefully fiddled with the magic crystal ball, and finally announced to everyone that because time had passed, the sound in this crystal ball could only be extracted once.

"Open it!" Cohen said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully, and always remember your father's voice." ”

A faint blue light spilled out of the magic crystal, surrounding the small sphere, and the people in the hall first heard a series of violent coughs.

"I'm Yuken. Governor Saran, I'm not sure who's listening to me, but the situation is urgent, and those who hear it are requested to send this crystal ball to the Kaida family in the Darkmoon Province immediately, and they will be greatly appreciated. "In the gasp of difficulty, Yuken. Saran's voice rang out, exactly as Cohen remembered: "Visu...... I failed...... But I was not defeated by the rebels, but by the conspiracy of Velon...... He sent me a letter asking me to rescue him, but when I arrived, he united with the rebels to flank me, and the rebels attacked head-on, and he personally led the army to cut off my rear road, and fought hard for more than ten days, and finally the army was defeated, and only 1,000 people remained in the army of 30,000......"

The voice behind it gradually blurred, gradually lowered, and finally became silent, but with the previous paragraph, it can already make people understand the whole thing very clearly. At this moment, all the people in the hall fell into a long silence, and it was needless to say that everyone's mood was heavy.

This happened violently and suddenly, and all aspects had to be taken into account if it was to be dealt with.

With a "wave", the crystal ball that had completed its mission cracked into several pieces, and Yarsad rushed forward, picking up the pieces with trembling hands. Tears welled up in his eyes. The sobbing that was tried to suppress made the people present feel even more heartbroken...... The staccato, muffled sobs. Constantly tugging at everyone's hearts.

"Arrest Wei Lun!" Princess Kaili took the case, so angry that even her roar was trembling: "I'll try him personally, I want him to regret it and live until now!"

"Sister, sit down. Princess Felin pulled the corner of her clothes: "We understand the whole thing, listen to the husband's arrangement." ”

All eyes were on Cohen, and His Majesty Cohen was now with his back to the throne, closing his eyes in contemplation.

Because it was Yarsad who knew that it was Yarsad who was accusing. Saran, the nobles gathered on the porch of the main palace were excited. Everyone knows about the defeat of the Saran family during the rebellion, and they know about Yuken. Saran's province is close to Vilon's province, and the two forces have been defeated and surrendered, and now the young son of the Saran family has come to sue Velon...... If you can't guess what is going on, then this nobleman doesn't have to be.

What's more, there was a waiter who came to the porch later and announced the whole thing in more detail.

Some of the nobles were angry because they had dealings with the Sarans, some were gloating because they had a holiday with the governors, and some were just joining in the fun...... But in any case, a joint formal complaint was immediately written. And it was handed over to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.

Holding this complaint signed by the blood of many nobles, Cohen's face was a little cold.

"Husband. What are you going to do?" Princess Dill asked worriedly: "If you investigate this matter, the news will immediately spread to everyone, and in the end, not only will Wei Lun's life be guaranteed, but I am afraid that none of the governors of Toucheng will be able to get out of the holy capital alive, and the nobles are looking forward to this day, but the empire cannot be chaotic." ”

"But doesn't it matter?" said Kelly, looking at Yarsade, angry and anxious.

"Cohen. Seeing Cohen's face change again and again, Prince Wei Su couldn't help but remind softly: "There are still a certain number of private armed forces in these provinces...... Although it doesn't make a big deal, it has the ability to create chaos. ”

Cohen looked at Yarsade, whose eyes were red and swollen, and for a moment he felt that he was a little powerless, and when he became the emperor, he let the imperial power restrain his hands and feet.

"Take Yarsad down to rest. ”

After saying this, Cohen stood up and walked out of the temple door with a calm face, in the amazed eyes of everyone, his steps did not stop, but walked all the way down the steps, the soft golden light revealed from the clothes, wrapping his entire body, the violent rain was blocked by this layer of light, and added an extra layer of white splash to the golden.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly followed, the attendants hurriedly prepared rain gear, and the group followed the emperor down the platform of the council building and came to the empty square.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor coming over, the governors who were "devastated" by the heavy rain immediately straightened their waists and knelt very standardly, exactly the same posture as the governor of Wei Lun in front. The nobles in the distance discussed with each other for a while, and finally they all rushed into the rain and knelt not far from the governors.

His Majesty Cohen's footsteps stopped, and at his feet was the Governor of Veron, who had a blank expression. All the people were watching His Majesty the Emperor, waiting for him to speak, to see what he was going to do with the matter.

The expression on Cohen's face was very calm, he first glanced at the person at his feet, and then asked softly, "Yes Yarsad." What else do you have to say about Saran's accusation?"

"Returning to His Majesty the Emperor. Governor Veron shook his head: "I don't have anything to say. ”

"It's you who lied that you were besieged, and you wanted to be you. Saran brought troops to his rescue, then cut him off and joined forces with the rebels to attack him. Is that the whole thing?"

"Returning to His Majesty, in Xiang Yuken. It is true that I was besieged by the rebels when the governor of Saran called for help. Governor Veron confessed, "Be a Yuken." Things have changed since Saran arrived. I tried to cover it up as much as I could, and I sent a lot of people to contact him, but Yuken. The whereabouts of the Saran reinforcements were discovered by the rebels. There were two paths in front of me, and at that time, I couldn't make any other choice. ”

"You know how to act when it's opportunistic. Cohen commented nonchalantly: "Well, Yuken." Governor of Saran was killed by your own hands?"

"No, but the minister saw him righteous with his own eyes. ”

Without warning, Cohen raised his right hand and slapped Velen flying out.

Velon, who fell in the rain, was dizzy for a while before slowly getting up, spitting out a few teeth from one mouth, wiping the rain from his face with his hands, and then kneeling all the way to Cohen's feet. The expression on his face was still the same as just now. As if Cohen's slap wasn't him.

People who are a little further away. I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor hit people, and several governors nearby were also scared enough.

"One more question for you. His Majesty Cohen was not surprised by Veron's behavior of crawling back to his feet: "If on the same day, you found Yarsard." What would you do with Saran?"

"Returning to His Majesty. Governor Velen raised his head, and the rain was pouring down on his face, and even Cohen couldn't see his expression clearly: "If I had found him, I think I would have killed him, and I don't even have to think about it." ”

"It's ruthless enough. Cohen laughed, "So that's the end of it." Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. Governor Veron said categorically: "At that time, the situation did not allow me to choose. ”

"My Sbia Empire is really full of talents!" Cohen snorted coldly: "You are all talents, all of you are talents!"

"I hid this from His Majesty the Emperor, and I knew that he was a friend of His Majesty the Emperor...... I'm sorry for the trouble. I also have great regret for the Governor of Saran himself. Governor Velun said slowly: "But this is the way of the world, since I have lost my sight at that time, chaos is inevitable, and I just want to survive, and survive according to the rules of survival in troubled times...... If I had switched positions with the Governor of Saran, I would never blame him. ”

"Do you think you're qualified to lecture me?" Cohen raised an eyebrow, "Bow down, bow your head!"

Governor Velons immediately threw the top of his head upside down in the muddy rainwater. And have maintained this posture all the time.

His Majesty Cohen beckoned to his clerk, who immediately understood. trotted all the way to the emperor's side. After a moment of silence, the Emperor beckoned to the nobles who were kneeling in the distance, asking them to come and kneel.

"Take my words to heart, and go back to the promulgation. After His Majesty Cohen finished speaking to the clerk, he raised his voice facing the ministers in the rain: "Now what I want to say is the first amnesty decree after the recovery of the Sibian Empire. ”

The ministers were astonished, the governors were in ecstasy, and the nobles were in disbelief.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you can't issue an amnesty!" Immediately, a nobleman jumped out: "Wei Lun and others have lost their conscience, and they actually attacked their companions for the sake of wealth and nobility, and they can no longer let him survive in the world-Yuken." Governor Saran died unjustly!"

"Yes, Emperor Xià, please think about it again! With a person like Wei Lun in the imperial court, how can we rest assured? He may frame us at any time, and he may also make small moves behind the emperor's background at any time!"

The Governor of Velon, who remained in his position, did not react to the surging accusations of the aristocracy.

"Joke, is it your turn to evaluate my decision!" In the face of the noise created by the aristocratic side, Cohen replied coldly: "Can't you feel at ease? It's very simple, let's get in your carriage and go abroad to avoid trouble, why should those who were not in the country when the rebellion broke out blame others now!"

"Yes, today, Wei Lun's handle was turned over, and he doesn't have a good relationship with you, of course you have to shout punishment...... What if it were a different Wei Lun who had the same leg as you!? What would you do like this?" The emperor's words echoed in everyone's ears with the sound of rain and thunder: "You touch your conscience, who hasn't done bad things during the rebellion and war?! Today is Wei Lun, tomorrow it may be your turn!"

His Majesty's words hit the heart of most people, and the voices of the nobles immediately fell.

"Clerk, remember. Cohen's face was calm: "At the beginning of the rebellion of the Sbia Empire, the situation was extremely complicated, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it was the misfortune of the empire and the sorrow of the entire people to lead to many such wrong battles...... In the name of the seventeenth emperor, I announce the issuance of an amnesty...... Among the present officials and nobles, no one shall be held accountable during the rebellion and war, and no one shall henceforth speak of the past......"

After saying the pardon, His Majesty Cohen glanced at all the ministers present with a calm gaze, and then walked back to the council building without looking back.

In the rainstorm, Wei Lun sat on the ground, looking at the emperor's departing back and crying, but only he knew whether it was tears or rain that confused his eyes......

The clerk's memory was excellent, and less than a moment after he returned to the room, the splendid amnesty decree was written in its entirety, not only with impeccably decorated words, but also with the original intention of His Majesty the Emperor vividly expressed throughout the official document. When this amnesty was sent to the prime minister, he swept it with a stroke of his pen.

But then, the Prime Minister fell into thought, and his expression was quite solemn.

Vitamins. Kida knew that Cohen had made this decision painfully, although in the current situation, he made the right decision and there was nothing wrong with it. But Cohen himself has to endure the strange eyes of others, and even he himself cannot forgive himself.

Anyone could see that when His Majesty the Emperor slapped Governor Velun in the face of the rainstorm in the main palace square, his heart was full of murderous intent...... But later, not only did Governor Velun get his life back, but everyone had written off all the bad debts they had owed during the rebellion and war.

This is a great joy for those who have done dirty things, but for those on the other hand, it is very difficult to understand the decision of His Majesty the Emperor.

The king's decree is like a mountain, the emperor's words are like iron, and since the text is issued, there will be no change.

Looking out of the window, the rain was not only not weaker, but more dense.

"No promise! Absolutely no promise!" On the top floor of the Royal Council Building, someone shouted: "I can't accept such a result no matter what!"

The bizarre development of events made Kelly, who has always been fiery and violent. Princess Lorna went berserk and went berserk in Cohen's daily office room. In Philin. Before Princess Rona could stop her, the beautiful carved wooden door was completely torn down, and the huge mahogany desk was split in two by her sword.

"Husband, how can you do this?" Princess Kaili stomped her feet aggrievedly, tears glistening in her eyes: "Everyone knows that he is innocent!"

Cohen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to the crowd, and he didn't speak, just staring at the sky outside with his surprisingly calm gaze. (To be continued......)
