Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 274 She Was The One Who Was Sacrificial

She boarded the car and left, until the day when Song Shi and Song Jun were executed, no one talked about her asking a doctor to treat Song Jun, so Song Yuan was completely relieved.

Soon it was the day when Song Shi and Song Jun were to be executed. They were escorted out by the officers and soldiers of the Weiwei Mansion. All the people who watched the execution were silent and watched quietly. Emperor Hongming ordered that the former prince force the palace to kill his father The crime is heinous, even though he committed suicide, the crime cannot be punished, and his son will pay for the crime. If the courtiers hadn't tried their best to stop him, Song Shi and Song Jun would inevitably be punished by Ling Chi.

The two of them walked up to the execution platform. Song Jun's footsteps were still a bit vain. Although he was treated by a doctor, his injuries were still uncontrollable. It was enough to live until now. They knelt down and waited calmly, their eyes swept over the audience Those who punished did not show any timidity.

Victory or defeat is impermanent, from the moment they decided to force the palace, they had already risked their lives.

The beheading officer read out their crimes in public, with a loud voice that everyone watching the sentence could hear clearly, and when the time came, he gave the order to behead them.

Among the crowd, the Mu family's disciples could only close their eyes and sigh with unbearable expression as they watched the two of them's heads fall to the ground and sprinkle blood on the execution ground, and retreated out of the crowd silently.

After rushing back to the Duke's Mansion, he was about to finish talking about the situation in the execution ground, when the Grand Master came, his complexion was not very good, his brows were very solemn, and he didn't even have time to change his official uniform.

"Just came back from the yamen?" Mu Guogong sat behind the desk, carefully folded the letter on the table to dry the ink and put it in an envelope.

The old man moved over: "Today, the yamen talked about the interrogation of the relatives of the former prince's mansion. The emperor has no intention of letting them go."

"Cut the grass without eradicating the root, spring wind blows and regenerates, the emperor is suspicious, how could he leave such a hidden danger for himself?" Mu Guogong unhurriedly stirred the paste in the small bowl.

The Elder's tone was urgent: "Eldest Miss has not reconciled with Song Shu yet, if she asks the crime, our family will be implicated as well. Father thinks, how about going to beg His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will show mercy to the heirs of the former Crown Prince?" Mu Guogong concentrated on sealing the envelope: "The emperor's murderous intentions are so obvious, have you ever heard of any His Royal Highness pleading for mercy?"

The old man was at a loss for words, and for a while, he really couldn't think of anyone who had pleaded for mercy on this matter.

Mu Guogong sealed the envelope: "When the first emperor came to the throne, he spared his nephew, and won a large number of people's hearts with kindness. Although they have been suppressing and restraining them all these years, they have never been short of them in terms of glory and wealth. But look , their reaction before the death of the first emperor? Wouldn't it be chilling?
The emperor doesn't have the heart like the late emperor, and he saw the actions of those white-eyed wolves with his own eyes, but with the late emperor as an example, he can't blatantly massacre, he is lacking a reason to do it now, if this is the reason It would be even better if he could help him get rid of the heirs of the former prince and those white-eyed wolves. "

The elder was worried: "The emperor entrusted this matter to father, what is father's plan?"

"I'm getting old, and I really don't want to lose my life at the end of the year. However, children and grandchildren are superficial, so we have to do it." Mu Guogong held the letter in his hand, his old face was solemn and serious: "Please, send the letter to the children."

Knowing that he was referring to his eldest daughter Mu Shi, the Elder Master hurriedly took it. He was curious about what was written in it, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

Seeing his thoughts, Mu Guogong said directly: "Chan'er is a child raised in front of me. I love her no less than you. I want to protect her, but after all, I can't ruin Mu for her alone. The future of so many children in the family, if Chan'er and Song Shu are not husband and wife, I can refuse the emperor's request, the bad thing is that our family and the former prince are related by marriage.

I’m old, I’ve been waiting and watching before, and I’ve never helped the emperor. He respects me now because of my prestige and family status, but forcing the palace to kill the king is not a trivial matter, no matter how big the family gets involved in such a thing, it will happen Once the dynasty is overthrown, all the families that can be broken now have been broken. Pian Chan'er's marriage was bestowed by the previous emperor, the emperor forbids her to marry you, do you understand? "

The elder's hands trembled, and the letter in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties. He nodded, and quickly made a decision: "This is fate."

Just three words comforted himself, and he took the letter and went out.

In the Song Dynasty, after Song Jun asked to beheaded, the royal family asked for decrees to return one after another. Emperor Hong Ming granted their request, and the preparations for moving to the palace to escape the summer heat were almost ready.

In the Jingyang Palace of Empress Shen, Emperor Hong Ming came with his prince Song Chun. The family of three rarely got together. Empress Shen was very happy. Seeing that Emperor Hong Ming seemed to be in a good mood after eating two more snacks, she took the opportunity to ask: "The palace will be moved soon, I wonder which concubines the emperor plans to bring there?"

"What does the queen think?" He threw the question to Queen Shen.

Empress Shen smiled, knowing very well that she could not make decisions for him, she just smiled and said: "I am too old to serve the Empress well, it is better to leave it to young concubines for pastimes such as going to the palace to escape the summer heat."

"Yeah." Emperor Hong Ming didn't refute, he didn't want to take the queen with him, although neither of them mentioned the tiger and wolf medicine, but there was a thorn in his heart, he put down the half-eaten snack, he thought about it After a while, he said: "Let some beauties accompany you."

Empress Shen nodded with a smile. This arrangement was not unexpected at all. Moving to the palace to escape the summer heat was just a cover. He just wanted to avoid the red tape and surveillance in the palace and indulge himself. Naturally, he would not bring high-ranking concubines to control him.

"Let Concubine Shen accompany you too." Emperor Hong Ming added, he didn't want to give up the truth just after he ascended the throne, and brought an extra little Shen with good conduct to pretend to be so that he could stop Yu Shitai's mouth.

Empress Shen also had no objection, since Hong Mingdi was going to indulge, it is not sure whether Little Shen would talk to him, and if he went, he could suppress those beauties and remind them not to go too far.

The matter of going to the palace was quickly settled. When the day came, a group of chariots and horses drove out of the palace city before dawn. After Emperor Hong Ming left the palace, Song Chun presided over the government temporarily, and everything went smoothly.

Only two days after Emperor Hong Ming left, Song Shu's wife, Mu Shi, presented a secret letter to Yushitai exposing treason.

Song Chun had already rested and quickly put on his clothes and got up, rushed to the nearby study to read the secret letter, his eyes suddenly widened: "Conspiracy?"

"If the news in the letter is true, there are quite a few sects involved, and His Royal Highness, please think twice." Doctor Yushi solemnly reminded that the involvement was too great, and he really didn't want these people to lose their lives in a daze.

Song Chun pondered for a while: "Where is Mrs. Mu?"

"The minister is afraid that something will go wrong, so I have ordered someone to bring her here, and now she is outside, does His Royal Highness want to see her now?" Doctor Yushi asked deliberately.
