Shangguan Wan'er thought deeply: "So, you let him go on purpose...but must he escape? Will you and your Majesty really kill him? After all, he is the Supreme Emperor and your Majesty's biological father. Complete imprisonment is probably the final result. Bar."
Jiang Fan said: "I don't know how, and I can't..."
The smile was a little helpless: "As you said, after all, he is Your Majesty's biological father, my... father-in-law... But Your Majesty... it's hard to say. He did something so beyond the limit, how could Your Majesty let him go? ?”
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Does your Majesty not care about other people's opinions?"
Jiang Fan said: "If she doesn't care, she is not Ying Wushuang. What's more... while she was away, she ordered someone to kill the Supreme Emperor, but she didn't know it."
Shangguan Wan'er said: "So, the Supreme Emperor has no choice but to flee..."
"Yes, but he is not just afraid of death. He has his own ideas. The Qin State has almost exhausted its cards, and there is no point in staying. He has endured the pain and cut off his wrist, and plans to look for opportunities from outside."
"This man really doesn't want to give up..."
Jiang Fan said: "As long as the country dies, thieves will continue. After all, a generation of emperors will not let go so easily."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled brightly with admiration on her face: "But Wan'er also knows that he has been defeated three times in three battles with you. I'm afraid this shadow will be difficult to eliminate."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh: "The person he will look for in the future is also a Xiaoqiang who has suffered many defeats and defeats."
Shangguan Wan'er said a little strangely: "Xiao Qiang?"
"A cockroach that cannot be killed means that it has tenacious vitality."
"That's an interesting description." Shangguan Wan'er didn't ask who it was. This is called knowing how to advance and retreat.
"But what's the use? The Lord has his own destiny. Let them do whatever they want, it's nothing more than fishing for the moon in the water."
Jiang Fan said: "Not necessarily. The world is in chaos, wars are everywhere, and heroes emerge in large numbers. Who knows what the future will be like, there are so many variables."
Shangguan Wan'er disagreed: "No matter how many variables there are, Wan'er believes that the Lord can overcome all obstacles. No matter how many opponents there are, he will still be nothing compared to the Lord."
"Your horses are making a jingling noise." Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh.
Shangguan Wan'er tied his belt and nodded with satisfaction: "Your Majesty is heroic and looks like a human emperor."
Jiang Fan quickly waved his hand: "Be careful what you say."
Shangguan Wan'er gently covered her mouth, but her eyes couldn't help but shine.
After experiencing the chess game with the Lord, and now seeing the Lord strategizing in the temple, she has completely surrendered.
"After this..." Jiang Fan looked at her: "You can move freely."
Shangguan Wan'er paused, then looked surprised. This meant that she had regained trust.
However, she quickly calmed down her emotions, and after thinking about it, she looked at Jiang Fan: "My lord, it would be better for me to continue hiding my identity."
Jiang Fan was a little surprised.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "Wan'er was born in Paradise, and she is already used to this. Moreover, the person who hides the deepest is the person whom the Lord trusts the most. Wan'er is willing to walk in the darkness and accompany the Lord to fight towards the light."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but think of a sentence: The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light...
After sorting everything out, Jiang Fan finally arrived at the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, and the drama was finally coming to an end.
It's already brightly lit here, like daylight.
The civil and military officials were whispering to themselves, and everyone had expressions of extreme shock and disbelief on their faces.
Meng Laoshuai and Gao Qi sat at attention, presumably already informing the officials about the situation.
No one expected that the Supreme Emperor would cause trouble again.
At first, the officials did not believe it, thinking that the regent was setting up a frame-up.
However, Marshal Meng was not behind bars, and Marshal Gao also appeared in time to testify in person. With the two of them, this matter is 99% confirmed. After all, no one thinks that the two of them will rebel.
And just now, news came from Tang Wu that the Supreme Emperor... had escaped.
Coupled with the seven corpses placed in the main hall, everything proves that this matter is probably true.
The one who wants to rebel is not the regent at all, but the Supreme Emperor.
Just as Marshal Meng said, His Royal Highness the Regent is using a trick to defeat the rebels.
Recalling that the Supreme Emperor had not done this kind of thing blatantly once, the ministers had almost given up even the last trace. The only doubt is that His Majesty is still missing.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Regent finally came to court late at night. The ministers also gathered up their fatigue from not sleeping for days, cheered up, and looked at the throne.
Jiang Fan looked at the throne, but did not sit on it again, "Zhao Gao, bring a chair."
Immediately, he sat down on a brocade pier under the throne.
The ministers were stunned at first, and then they all let out a sigh of relief.
The regent is indeed the regent.
He didn't really want to sit in that chair.
The ministers were solemn and respectful.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Regent——"
"Let's all be flat."
Jiang Fan smiled and said easily: "Does this mean I don't need to rebel?"
The ministers couldn't help but smile for a moment, and the solemn atmosphere quickly dissipated.
"We have little knowledge and are ashamed to be human ministers. I would like to apologize to His Highness the Regent."
Li Xiu led the ministers to express their stance first.
Jiang Fan laughed and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, actually you all know that I am lazy. I would not even want to do such things as taking charge of government before the court. If this incident hadn't happened suddenly and the news couldn't be leaked, I would I'm too lazy to sit on that chair and pretend. You don't know, I'm exhausted and miserable..."
What he said was witty and humorous, with a look of displeasure on his face, and the officials couldn't help but laugh.
"Now that the important matter is over, His Majesty will return in the near future. It is time for me, the regent, to step down. From now on, Prime Minister Li will be in charge of the affairs of the court. I would like to ask the old marshal and the marshal to assist me and not to trouble me."
"This, this is not okay."
Li Xiu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness, there are thousands of people in the family but only one person in charge, let alone the great Qin Kingdom? Your Majesty has not returned, and the great Qin Dynasty can only be stable if you are in charge."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Prime Minister Li, don't be lazy in politics. I'm not that good at first, so why don't you rush to the top? Anyway, I don't care. I won't come if I can't. From tomorrow on, I will go back to the mortal residence for a vacation. If there is going to be trouble in the court, you should explain it to His Majesty yourself."
This is to give up the choice. At this point, the ministers have no doubts at all, and they all give advice.
However, Prince Jiang has made up his mind and nothing can be done.
Li Xiu had no choice but to accept the errand, but said: "But there are a few things, the prince must give regulations."
Jiang Fan frowned: "...Okay, let's finish it for today. Don't bother me after today."
Li Xiudao: "The incident involving the Supreme Emperor is too sensational. I would like to ask His Highness to set the tone on how to deal with the aftermath."
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "Let it be made known to the world."
"This..." Li Xiu took a breath: "Would it make the world think that our Great Qin is in civil strife..."
Jiang Fan said: "No, it's just to let the world know that our Great Qin cannot cause chaos, even if it is the Supreme Emperor. What does Li Xiang think?"
