Shang Yujian tapped his fingers on the dragon chair. Hearing Shang Yuchen's sincere tone, he was completely thinking about the overall situation. When he lowered his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Do you know that by doing this, you are tying yourself to the same rope as him? If he really has a disobedient heart and you are implicated, the position of the prince will definitely be unsafe."
Shangyu Chen shook his head without hesitation, "My son is a prince and a minister, and I have no regrets in my heart. I also express my gratitude to Marshal Xiao for my subjects. His son was in trouble and he had to help."
"Go down." Shang Yu closed his eyes and said no more.
"Yes, I will retire."
Shangyu Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't seen him for seven years. He was worried that he would change, but unexpectedly he was still proud and would rather die than give in.
...
Outside the gate of Kyoto, the sound of the xun stopped, but everyone was still intoxicated.
Su Zhen looked at the location of the palace from a distance. Whether Xiao Chuhong lived or died depended on the emperor's mood. If the prince remembered the agreement between them, the situation might be better.
Xiao Chuhong was too tough, but it was a pity that it was easy to break, but he had no other choice.
When he returned after seven years, he was greeted by such a situation.
The eunuch in the palace soon sent an imperial edict, asking Xiao Chuhong and others to come to the palace for an audience instead of throwing them into a prison.
Once you step into the city of Kyoto, you are like a sheep entering a tiger's den. If you make the slightest mistake, you will die without a burial place.
The soldiers pushed Xiao Chuhong's wheelchair behind him, and the group marched toward the palace in a mighty manner, while Lu Jingshu took Xiao Mohan's coffin back to the general's mansion first.
Along with the civil and military officials, Xiao Mohan and the military generals entered the palace.
Along the way, everyone in the palace looked at them with reverence, but more with fear.
In the Jinluan Hall, all the ministers kowtowed and shouted long live, but Xiao Chuhong was the only one sitting in a wheelchair, straightening his waist and looking directly at the man sitting on the dragon chair above. After experiencing the battlefield, he could still remain calm even in the face of the power of the emperor.
.
"Everyone loves you, please be free."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shang Yuzhen looked at Xiao Chuhong quietly, thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Chuhong, is here to see the Emperor. Because his legs are seriously injured, he is unable to salute. I hope the Emperor will forgive me."
Even though he said this, no one could hear his guilt or apology.
"Xiao Chuhong, I heard that you dared to ask me to issue an edict to punish myself. You are so brave! Do you know that if the situation is not true, you should be punished by death!"
"I am disrespectful to the emperor, and I am willing to accept the punishment. However, there must be treacherous ministers and traitors in the court who are colluding with the enemy. I hope the emperor will understand clearly and give justice to Marshal Xiao."
His voice was extremely calm, without any fluctuation.
"You said there was a traitor in the court who framed Marshal Xiao. Do you have any evidence?"
"Go back to the emperor, no!" Although he was negative, his tone was firm.
"Then you think I'm unfair?"
"yes!"
The two people's eyes met each other, as if there was an electric current surging. All the courtiers were silent, and no one dared to make a fuss. This Xiao Chuhong's character was so tough, completely different from his parents.
"It's impossible to issue a self-incriminating edict. I will send people to investigate the matter thoroughly. If you can find evidence and the person who framed Marshal Xiao, I will punish him severely and issue a self-incriminating edict to clear Marshal Xiao's name."
The meaning of Shang Yu's words may seem upright, but in fact he has made an agreement that is so difficult that it is almost impossible to fulfill it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chuhong clenched his right fist tightly, and then loosened it suddenly. His heart was full of ups and downs, filled with hatred.
Looking at the courtiers around him, he knew that the culprit who framed his father must be hidden among these people, but his current strength was simply not enough to compete with them.
But today's actions in front of the city gate can be regarded as forcing the emperor to make a promise.
Success depends on people. How can you know it's impossible if you haven't tried it?!
At the same time in the city of Kyoto, everyone's attention turned to the Xiao Mansion. If anyone made any changes, they would definitely be suspected of being traitors.
The ministers themselves are in danger, so they will try their best to avoid it, for fear that dirty water will get close to them.
Xiao Chuhong seemed to be impulsive, but he used advancement as a retreat, pressing forward step by step to save himself.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Chuhong is more like a tiger who has been forced to retreat and is in a desperate situation, licking his wounds alone. If anyone dares to come close, he will bite him to death. This chapter has been completed!
