With so many people present, the Shen family brought out the Holy Ancestor's will and the gold medal to avoid death. The emperor still wanted to face and reputation, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
The emperor was incompetent and furious, "The Shen family can be exempted from death crimes, but they cannot escape from living crimes. From now on, they will not be allowed to step into Shengjing, and they will not be allowed to serve as officials in the court for generations to come."
This punishment is extremely severe. Just being barred from serving as an official in the court can silently destroy a family.
The old lady accepted the result calmly.
If there had not been an accident on the Lantern Festival, this imperial edict and the gold medal for immunity from death would have saved Shen Xingwan no matter what.
This is the Shen family's biggest back-up.
The old lady kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness in not killing me."
The old lady kowtowed, "Even now, I still say that Shen Xingwan is not a remnant of the previous dynasty, she is a bloodline of the Shen family. Although the truth is no longer important, the Shen family can provide evidence."
The old lady kowtowed three times, "The Shen family has always had a clear conscience towards Daqi. I have one last thing to say before leaving the capital."
The entire Yushitai was eerily quiet. The old lady of the Shen family, who had been both prominent and lonely, could still see the character of the aristocratic family even in the end.
Fourth Uncle Shen took out the memorial he had written at the last moment when he entered the palace, "I accuse the King of Minnan of having mercenaries in Minnan respect themselves and have the intention to rebel."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
The sixth prince was the first to speak, "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Such things are not something you can just talk about casually."
The old lady had straightened her back, her eyes flashed, and she said calmly, "Within three days, all the Shen family members will withdraw from Shengjing and return to the south of the Yangtze River to farm in peace."
"This world belongs to the Holy One, and the court belongs to the Holy One. The Shen family just can't stand the rebellious ministers and traitors causing chaos, so they just do what they want. It's up to Your Majesty to believe it or not."
This is interesting. This is the emperor's world, not his Shen family's. After today, the name in the world has nothing to do with the Shen family.
It was such a calm and calm attitude that made the suspicious emperor unable to help but think too much.
After a moment, the emperor glanced at him, and Lin Zheng immediately walked over and took the imperial edict from Fourth Uncle Shen's hand and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor carefully read the memorial line by line without saying a word.
He knew in his heart that the Shen family would jump out at this time to take revenge on King Min Nan.
After all, King Min Nan was one of the main instigators of Shen Xingwan's incident this time.
However, the strength that the Shen family has shown from the past to the present has forced the emperor to treat this matter with caution.
The memorial was written very clearly and in detail. How many troops King Minnan had and where they were kept were clearly written.
Too much detail makes it look real.
Someone coveted his own country, and the emperor certainly felt uncomfortable.
However, he didn't want to look at the Shen family.
The emperor finally put down the memorial, "Within three days, I hope that there will be no Shen family members in Shengjing."
"yes."
The old lady stood up and left.
The emperor said nothing about King Minnan, but the old lady knew that this thorn had pierced the emperor's heart.
It will naturally explode when the time is right.
This was the plan laid out by Shen Xingwan and the Shen family from the beginning. The plan was to wait for the eldest wife and Shen Mochen to come back with witnesses to clarify Shen Xingwan's identity, and then defeat King Min Nan in court.
The matter of Min Nanning raising troops was discovered by Liu Ying, who was on a mission in Min and went into the mountains by mistake in order to pursue his target.
Shen Xingwan had already received this message in his hand, but it had never been used.
I just want to wait for the critical moment to explode and directly disrupt the world.
Unfortunately, the "remnants of the previous dynasty" were revealed midway, and the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Today, Shen Xingwan is being hunted and his whereabouts are unknown.
In the second half of this game, the old lady had to make up for it.
Shen Qingran helped the old lady step out of the censor's stage, and the old lady looked back.
What is stolen must be returned sooner or later!
After getting on the carriage, the old lady ordered, "Immediately spread the contents of today's memorial. Be sure to let Prince Min and Nangong Xian know."
Everything written in the memorial is true. King Minnan had good intentions and the place he chose to raise his troops and train them was very hidden.
If it hadn't been in the hands of the person who bumped into Shen Xingwan, he wouldn't have been discovered so quickly.
Shen Qingran smiled lightly and said, "Whoever panics in this round will lose."
The Minnan side has a tough style to begin with, and the tribes and locals there regard the King of Minnan as someone who respects the imperial court.
It can be said that the successive emperors of Daqi suppressed and attracted King Minnan at the same time.
As soon as it was revealed that King Minnan had hidden his troops, the emperor was wary, and King Minnan himself also felt guilty.
"Let them have their way with the dog, so as not to play tricks all day long." The old lady said tiredly.
————————————————
On the last day before leaving, the old lady went up the mountain to see the Crown Princess in person.
The Crown Princess seemed to have a premonition that she would come, and made hot tea in the room to welcome her.
The Crown Princess, who has always paid homage to the Buddha quietly, had a rare mood swing today, saying, "Thank you for your hard work these years."
The old lady looked at her with a serious look, "I'm leaving. I don't know if I can see you again in the future."
The Shen family's last trump card has been used. There is no way to retreat. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
The Crown Princess showed a sad look, "My body is not just about whether it can survive until the day I have another child."
The Crown Princess took out a special token and handed it to the old lady, "This is what his father left for him. Please help the old lady to pass it on."
The former prince, the legitimate son of the middle palace, was established as prince at the age of two, and was assisted by two major families. He has outstanding abilities and is truly the proud son of heaven.
Back then, among the brothers and sisters, no one could compare with them, and they were truly loved by all.
Such a prince has many followers and has his own power.
With his death, although the superficial power had long been disintegrated, part of the core power was still preserved.
Although the Crown Princess is frail, she is actually very skilled. She has been secretly managing this power since the Crown Prince passed away.
Now, it's finally time to hand it over.
The old lady took it and said, "I will give it to him."
The two of them went to the prince's memorial tablet together and offered incense to the prince.
I don't know when I will be able to return from here.
The Crown Princess stood alone on the mountain, watching the old lady and her party leave.
She was the only one left here again. For more than ten years, she came here like this every day.
She doesn't feel miserable, but occasionally feels lonely.
The princess turned back to the Buddhist hall and looked at the prince's tablet, "Sanlang, I will come down to accompany you soon."
Once she handed over what she had in hand, her mission was completed.
"Sanlang, how about you not being a member of the royal family in the next life? Let's be the most ordinary couple in the world, and we just want to be together for the rest of our lives."
In this life, he grew up with her.
She married him and they were husband and wife for only three years.
He left her alone in this world for nearly twenty years.
It’s not a pity, it’s just that the relationship between husband and wife was too short.
