Wen Qiyu also sincerely admired him and said: "Your Majesty is truly a genius. Having him in this world is a blessing to the people of the country and the country."
Shen Chi glanced at Wen Qiyu, lifted up his robe, sat down on the chair and said, "Even so, you can't say this casually. If others listen, who knows what else will happen? "
Wen Qiyu said: "Master Shen is worried that the prince's brilliance will be too bright, covering up the brilliance of the prince?"
Shen Chi did have these concerns. Xiao Chengyi sent the news in advance about the assassination of the prince, so His Majesty had no suspicion. But what if he did not inform His Majesty in advance?
Will Your Majesty believe him?
Although His Majesty is Xiao Chengyi's uncle, even if there is tit-for-tat between father and son, why is he a nephew?
Shen Chi frowned and said, "After this incident, Yi'er will definitely gain more support from the people. I'm afraid that the courtiers will criticize me and sow discord between Yi'er and His Majesty."
Wen Qiyu didn't know much about His Majesty, so he couldn't make any hasty conclusions.
He thought for a while and said: "What we can think of, the prince can naturally think of, so he will definitely not let such a thing happen."
Shen Chi was stunned for a moment, and then he looked suddenly enlightened. He smiled and said, "Young Master Wen is absolutely right."
Wen Qiyu and Shen Chi got along very well. Now that the rebellion between the two princes has been resolved, they did not have to worry, so they talked about something else: "I told Mr. Shen about the prince's affairs in southern Xinjiang before. Why don't Mr. Shen tell me too? Tell me about the prince’s stay in Beichen?”
He wanted to know more about Xiao Chengyi, so he asked Shen Chi about his past.
Shen Chi's eyes flashed and he responded with a smile: "That's something to say."
As he spoke, he tirelessly talked to Wen Qiyu about Xiao Chengyi's past in Beichen.
Three days later.
Xiao Yue was arrested, and dozens of ministers in the court were implicated, headed by the censor Li Wei.
Xiao Chengyi used lightning methods to find out the evidence of these people's crimes, and with a wave of his pen, he immediately convicted everyone.
Xiao Yue, Li Wei and other people loyal to the King of Jin were all sentenced to death, and they were executed immediately.
At the intersection of Zhuque Street in the capital, many people gathered around to watch the beheading.
Someone is counting below: "One, two, three..."
After counting to nine, the man clicked his tongue and said, "Nine ministers are really unprecedented."
The common people shook their heads and said, "I really don't understand. This King of Jin has been dead for more than 20 years. What are they trying to do?"
Which of these nine people is not a prominent figure in the court? Why can't they think of rebelling and supporting the orphan of King Jin?
"What do you know? Once things are done, they will all be heroes and will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister. Who doesn't want to give it a try?
It's a pity that the regent has such a keen eye that they all became clowns."
When the regent was mentioned, the people became excited: "Yes, the regent is young and has great skills. He calmed down the civil strife in just a few days. It is really rare. Who would marry such a man?" , but you can enjoy endless glory and wealth."
"Speaking of which, the Princess Protector of Beichen was also unlucky. She traveled thousands of miles to get married, but the marriage didn't work out. She even fell ill and was sent back to Beichen.
It’s been so long, and there’s no news about the marriage being discussed again. I think I’ve given up on it. I wonder which young lady in the future will be lucky enough to marry the regent?”
The common people talked to each other about the marriage of the regent from the nine prisoners in the execution ground.
There were so many people watching that they blocked the way, and a carriage was parked in the crowd. The voices of the people slowly reached the ears of the person in the carriage. Her expression moved slightly, as if she was thoughtful.
