Emperor Qin waved his hand and asked everyone who was saluting to stand up. His cold and indifferent eyes looked directly at Cang Hongshen below.
"Cang Shoufu! Your intention to rebel has been exposed. I remember that you are a veteran of two dynasties and have worked hard and made great achievements. I want you to take the initiative to plead guilty and then give you a lighter sentence!"
"I didn't expect that you were not only dissatisfied, but also fabricated facts to slander me. So don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship! You have the sealing talisman of the Demon Suppressing Wall, which is my royal treasure, but you not only refused to give me
, but he took it as his own!"
Emperor Qin's voice became colder and colder, saying: "Your behavior of occupying a magpie's nest is extremely bad. If you are not treason, what do you want to do?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
The Demon Suppressing Wall was a famous name in the Sheng Dynasty, and there are many legends about the Demon Suppressing Wall among the people.
Ordinary people regard the Demon Suppression Wall as an entertainment story, but the real strong ones know the real secrets inside the Demon Suppression Wall.
Inside the demon-suppressing wall, there are indeed ancient demonic beasts sealed, and all of them are extremely powerful and ferocious.
It is said that the sealing talismans in the Demon Suppression Wall have always been kept in the hands of successive emperors of the Holy Dynasty.
The purpose is to protect these sealing talismans and prevent them from falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives, thereby releasing many monsters in the demon-suppressing wall and causing harm to the world! The late emperor gave the sealing talismans of the demon-suppressing wall to Cang Hongshen.
The royal family is a secret, so very few people know about it.
Now, Emperor Qin told the whole story, which shocked everyone present.
They obviously didn't expect that the sealing talisman, which had always been controlled by the royal family, was actually on Cang Hongshen. No wonder the Five Emperors said that Cang Hongshen was treason?
Cang Hong's deep eyes slowly narrowed and he said: "I admit that the sealing talisman is in my hands, but this thing was entrusted to me by the late emperor before his death! Such royal secrets, without the permission of the late emperor, I can't
How can you get it?"
"If your five majesties don't believe it, I still have the late emperor's decree here, which clearly states it, to prove my innocence! Do your five majesties want to see it with their own eyes?"
As he spoke, Cang Hongshen took out a jade-colored scroll and said calmly.
"Hmph! Bring it!"
Emperor Qin spread his hands and said.
Cang Hong shook his head deeply and unfolded it, revealing the contents inside.
The officials present and the warriors outside were all sharp-sighted and could clearly read the writing in the scroll at a glance.
The above content is indeed that the late emperor entrusted the sealing talisman to Cang Hongshen, and where the inscription is made, it is the large jade seal of the late emperor Qiankun Emperor.
The jade seal is a symbol of the country and cannot be faked! So after seeing the contents of this scroll, many officials and people present believed Cang Hongshen's words.
The faces of the five emperors headed by Emperor Qin suddenly darkened, and they were very angry.
This Cang Hongshen is really getting more and more pointless! Moreover, they are furious that the late emperor actually wrote the decree. Is he so worried about the five of them?
"Your Majesty! What is going on?"
Shangshu Ling Kou Si's pupils narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Emperor Qin in confusion.
Not only Kou Si, but also officials from the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Zhan Shifu and other major institutions present looked at the Five Emperors with doubts on their faces.
Emperor Qin accused Cang Hongshen of treason on the grounds that he held the sealing talisman of the Demon Suppression Wall.
But in fact, it was the sealing talisman that Cang Hongshen obtained for legitimate reasons, and it was entrusted to him by the late emperor before his death. It even had the emperor's decree.
Then the question arises. The sealing talisman of the Demon Suppressing Wall is a treasure guarded by the previous emperors of the royal family. Logically speaking, the late emperors should entrust this object to the Five Emperors before they died.
But the fact is that the late emperor gave this thing to Cang Hongshen, but not to the five emperors.
This is so tricky! Does this mean that the late emperor could not trust the Five Emperors at all?
But then, a bigger question arises. The most outstanding prince of the Five Emperors' royal family is the successor of the late emperor. Why doesn't the late emperor even trust them?
Could it be that there is something wrong with the Five Emperors?
Emperor Qin looked cold and said calmly: "Back then, the late emperor had a very good relationship with Cang Hongshen! Moreover, sometimes imperial edicts were drafted by Cang Hongshen, and even the jade seals were sometimes sealed by him!"
As soon as these words came out, Kou Si and other officials suddenly realized that they had understood the meaning of Emperor Qin's words.
Obviously, Emperor Qin wanted to express that the decree in Cang Hongshen's hands was basically a fake decree created by the latter himself.
"Cang Hongshen! What else do you have to say?
Creating false decrees and daring to seize the sealing talisman of the Demon Suppression Wall are all serious crimes! Aren't you going to plead guilty now?"
Kou Si shouted sharply.
Cang Hongshen looked calm and said calmly: "Plead guilty?
Why plead guilty?
Every word, every sentence I said is true!"
"Obsessed!"
Kou Si was furious and was interrupted by Emperor Qin before he finished speaking.
"Cang Chief Assistant! In fact, as long as you agree to my two conditions, I can forgive you generously! You can still be your Chief Assistant and manage the world's affairs for me!"
Emperor Qin said with a smile.
Cang Hongshen didn't say anything, but Kou Si's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that Emperor Qin was actually willing to forgive Cang Hongshen. Wouldn't it mean that Cang Hongshen would suppress him again in the future?
"These two conditions are very simple! You hand over the sealing talisman of the demon-suppressing wall that belongs to my royal family, and then donate the people from Qianfo Sect and Sha Demon Sect! Then I can treat everything as if it never happened.
Pass!"
Emperor Qin's voice was calm, with a persuasive tone.
Cang Hong sighed in his heart. He knew that today's test would not be so easy. The sealing talisman was entrusted to him by the late emperor, and it was related to the people of the world. How could he just hand it over to the Five Emperors like this?
