first minister

Chapter 266 The Land of Exile
There was a long dead silence.

In the whole field, including the crown prince, King Qi, and Duke Ying, everyone held back their breath and dared not even take a breath.

Because Qin Sichao's scolding just now was too shocking and frightening for them.

They used their sluggish minds to try to recall, since the founding of the country, has there ever been such a story of scolding the emperor by name in front of the eyes of everyone?
At least in their memory, it has never been there.

Among these people, the timid ones even wondered whether they would be directly silenced by Emperor Chongning.

The head of the Black Ice Terrace walked over, gently felt Qin Sichao's pulse, and nodded to Emperor Chongning.

Xia Jingyun was also immersed in a kind of panic, looking at Qin Sichao's body, his eyes were a little dull.

Along the way, he has seen people die, and he has even seen people die, but there has never been one that shocked him as much as Qin Sichao.

He had always thought that this young man of the Xiangfu was a conspirator with a pious face who would only hide behind the scenes to plot people's hearts, but he never expected that the other party could have such a generous ambition and a lonely and tragic song.

Behind those conspiracies and calculations is also a heart that is dissatisfied with the state of the world and the status quo.

However, out of his own values ​​and cognition, he chose a completely different path from Xia Jingyun.

And just as he was wandering in the sky, Xia Jingyun heard a voice that was so indifferent that there was no trace of emotion.

"Gao Yang, what do you think?"

He turned his head and met Emperor Chongning's expressionless face, that pair of extremely deep eyes.

The thoughts in his mind turned a thousand times, and finally he had no choice but to say against his will: "Speaking of disasters and chaos, saying against one's will, before dying, one will plant a thorn in the court and ministers, his heart is really sinister."

"Well said!"

A smile finally appeared on Emperor Chongning's face, "People in the world have something to say, and when a person is about to die, his words are good, but like this kind of rebellious officials and thieves, who harbor evil intentions and covet artifacts, how can they be judged by common sense. Before dying, I also don't forget the evil thoughts of overthrowing my country, trying to use such rebellious words to shake my heart and separate the monarchs and ministers, I really deserve to be killed!"

The rest of the people also immediately came to their senses at this time, echoing Emperor Chongning's words one after another.

"Your Majesty is wise! Such rebellious ministers and thieves, deeply favored by the emperor, actually slander the emperor so much, they are in vain as ministers, sons, and people!"

"The old minister once once suppressed bandits, and he knew a story. But he said that there was a gangster fighting among the bandits in a cottage, and someone was killed. Before he died, the man shouted, brother, remember to avenge me. It was such a last word that won the hearts of everyone in the cottage. Panicked, they killed each other by killing each other. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise, and did not fall for the vicious plan of this little thief of the Qin family!"

"The father and son of the Qin family are really hateful. Your majesty loves so much, but doesn't want to be loyal to the king and serve the country, and hides the heart of changing the dynasty. Please punish the nine clans, so as to make an example to others!"

Everyone expressed their loyalty one after another, as if it was not they but someone else who praised Qin Sichao and revered Prime Minister Qin earlier.

Interested people also praised Xia Jingyun by the way, "Thanks to Mr. Xia's wit, he actually found out the conspiracy of this pair of father and son thieves, otherwise I don't know how long I will be deceived by him!"

"That's right, Your Majesty is wise above all, Mr. Xia is intelligent below, and the monarch and his ministers trust each other. It's really a good story!"

Emperor Chongning quietly listened to everyone's flattery, just as calmly as he had just listened to Qin Sichao's insults, and his deep eyes focused on Qin Sichao who was lying on the ground.

And the more he didn't speak, the more people didn't dare to stop, pouring out what they had learned, cursing the Qin family and praising His Majesty.

All this absurdly came to an end when a person in the field woke up.

Everyone looked at Qin Weizhong at this moment, the previous awe was gone in their eyes, only pity and ridicule remained.

Emperor Chongning surprised everyone and walked towards Qin Weizhong. The head of the black ice platform, Xuanhu, who was dressed in black, quickly stepped forward to protect him, and the commander of the forbidden army also followed behind him.

Emperor Chongning squatted down, looked at the current prime minister sitting on the ground, and sighed softly, "Weizhong! You and I have been a monarch and minister for more than [-] years, and you have been my right-hand man for more than ten years. Let me ask you a question." , these things, you really don’t know?”

Qin Weizhong wept in panic, and cried out sadly: "Your Majesty, I have blood in my heart, and I have worked hard for decades only for the country. I really don't know that this rebellious son has committed such a serious crime!"

He stood up and knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, sincerely, "Ten years ago, Your Majesty was full of heroism, and the old minister was also ambitious. Now, His Majesty is still handsome, but the old minister has a little frost on his temples, and he is getting old. The country is devoting itself to worrying about it, and it is due to long-cherished sleep, the loyalty of the old minister to His Majesty is absolutely not half false!"

Xia Jingyun and many smart dignitaries sneered secretly in their hearts, you were dizzy just now, if you really didn't know, how would you know what His Majesty said?

"Hey!"

Emperor Chongning sighed, and helped him up with his own hands, "You have been with me for so many years, and I believe in you!"

Qin Weizhong wept bitterly, "Thank you, old minister, Your Majesty!"

Some innocent onlookers couldn't help being shocked, and what's more, many people couldn't control their expressions and showed surprise.

impossible?Even in this way, Qin Xiang can escape?
The British Duke frowned slightly, and immediately dispelled the suspicion that had arisen in his heart. It is impossible, absolutely impossible, and any emperor would absolutely not tolerate such a thing.

With mixed thoughts, Emperor Chongning continued: "However, since this matter has already happened, and it is such an important matter, even if it is for me, even for you, it cannot be regarded as nothing happened. If so, I am afraid it will be a loss for the country. , the troubles of all ages, can you understand?"

Qin Weizhong hurriedly said: "Is there any reason why the old minister can't understand it? Your Majesty is benevolent. The old minister is so grateful that I can't add it."

"How about this, although you have never directly participated in it, but after all, it is a serious crime of treason, no matter how extrajudicial I am, I can't let it go lightly, so let's dismiss you from your post and exile, I will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and rich products for you How about taking care of the rest of my life in this land, and spending the rest of my life as a friendship between us as a monarch and his ministers?"

Qin Weizhong knew that in such a big event, it was a great fortune to be alive, so he dared not say anything at this moment, and hurriedly shouted thank you.

Emperor Chongning thought for a while, and said softly: "Let's go to Yunmeng State, Yueyang City. I have been there before. The Dongting is [-] miles away. The scenery is beautiful and the products are abundant. It is just suitable for you to live and take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he patted Qin Weizhong's shoulder and turned around.

Qin Weizhong stayed where he was as if struck by lightning, and only then did he finally know.

This majesty with amazing power and deep thoughts has never let go of his intentions.

Want to die, too cheap yourself!
He sat down on the ground with a bitter face, lost his soul.

And if he knew what his elder brother did just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a pure fantasy.

Emperor Chongning turned around, looked at Xia Jingyun, was silent for a moment, and said deeply, "You are fine."

Immediately strode out of the punishment department.

From the beginning to the end, he has never seen, even a single glance, the son who was once regarded as a treasure but has not seen him for many years now.

The head of the Black Ice Terrace tactfully ordered his subordinates to take away Qin Xiang, who was in a state of despair and looked like a puppet, and at the same time took away Qin Sichao's body.

When the sound of the imperial army's armor faded away and the mice on the Black Ice Terrace left, the noisy discussion broke out suddenly.

　Although the number of words is not many, it is really tiring to write, so I will be bored today.

　　This episode came to an end, which is quite satisfactory.

　　or2!
