The Supreme Emperor swayed, his eyes temporarily unfocused.
There was a buzzing sound in his ears.
He saw the ministers' mouths opening and closing, he saw them pointing at him, and spittle almost sprayed into his face.
But he couldn't hear them.
Was it the man named Han, and what kind of magic did he use on him?
Made him deaf?
The Supreme Emperor looked around and did not see Han Xian.
But in his ears, there was gradually a sound...
"What an old fool!"
"I'm sorry to all the ancestors of the Xiao family!"
"In the future, I will never be buried in the imperial mausoleum!"
"I beg the Emperor to place the Emperor under house arrest for the sake of the country!"
"Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety! Your Majesty, you are not just a son, you are the emperor of Daliang!"
…
The emperor heard it.
But he wished he hadn't heard it.
His brows were furrowed... Was he wrong? Why can't he be buried in the imperial mausoleum? Why put him under house arrest? He is a wise king!
During his reign as emperor, signs of "purple energy" appeared twice! It shows that God also thinks that he is a wise king!
He begged for immortality and to go to fairyland... What's wrong?
The Supreme Emperor thought that he was just defending himself in his heart.
He didn't realize that he had said everything in his heart.
However, the ministers clamored to express their loyalty too loudly.
His words were only heard by a few palace people around him.
The palace people looked at each other with disgust and disdain on their faces.
Even the hand holding him shrank back... If it wasn't their duty, they would even want to let it go.
Xiao Yunjie looked at this scene with a gloomy face. He sneered and burst into tears.
"The Supreme Emperor also has this day! My father saw it under the Nine Springs, so he can rest in peace!"
"I...I'll beat you to death, you rebellious beast!" The Supreme Emperor rushed forward and tried to snatch the knife from the guard with the knife. He wanted to hack Xiao Yunjie to death.
The guards with swords had already predicted his movements and moved out of the way.
The Supreme Emperor couldn't get the knife, so he took off his shoes, grabbed the shoes and threw them at Xiao Yunjie's head and face.
"You haven't learned a bit of your father's cleverness, but you have learned 100% of your father's impulsiveness!" The Supreme Emperor scolded him as he scolded him, "Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!"
Xiao Yuchen winked, and the eunuchs quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Supreme Emperor.
"Let me go! I'm going to beat him to death!"
"Your Majesty, take care of your health!"
Two tall eunuchs, very strong, carried him and left the palace gate.
After the Supreme Emperor left, the chaotic scene became slightly calmer.
The ministers still advised, "Please put the Supreme Emperor under house arrest and expel all the Taoist priests from the palace! We must not let Qi State use treacherous tactics to eat away at our great beams!"
"The Emperor is old and should have completely let go of government affairs. However, he always points fingers, which is against the rules."
"The Emperor's benevolence and filial piety are well known to all the ministers, but I hope that the Emperor will be righteous, for the country, and for all the people... don't let the Supreme Emperor get involved again!"
…
If the Supreme Emperor knew about it, he would have come out to "fish" for Xiao Yunjie but failed.
Instead, he got himself involved...
I wonder if he will regret listening to Zhou Lingfeng's dream.
On the other hand, the ministers, who had heard from the beginning that the emperor fell ill because of the orphan of the deposed prince, came to kneel in front of the palace gate to remonstrate.
Up to now, everyone has unanimously begged him not to tolerate the Supreme Emperor for the sake of filial piety...
There was a complete reversal in attitude.
Those ministers who had previously knelt down to "admonish" were now like quails, shrinking to the end and not daring to show their faces.
Wen Jin cleared his throat.
She took a deep look at Xiao Yuchen.
Although he is the emperor, one is his father and the other is his nephew.
He now followed the trend and followed the wishes of the ministers, agreeing to "put the Emperor under house arrest and kill Xiao Yunjie."
But when the mood of the ministers passed, it was the emperor himself who took the blame.
Your mouth is on the faces of ministers. They can say you are a "wise king" today, but they can scold you tomorrow for "disregarding human relations and family ties."
Therefore, in the position of emperor, even though he enjoys glory, wealth, and ultimate power, he is not really free.
Wen Jin stood up and said, "All the ministers are important ministers of the imperial court. Your voices represent most of the voices of Daliang. The emperor must consider it carefully.
"The Emperor is old and it is inevitable that he will be confused sometimes.
"Xiao Yunjie lost his father when he was young, and now he is at his most impulsive age. It is only human nature to be deceived and taken advantage of."
After Wen Jin finished speaking, the voices of the ministers finally became much quieter.
Xiao Yunjie suddenly raised his head and looked at her in surprise.
Wen Jin also looked at him and said, "You said yesterday that if I hadn't saved you during the last autumn hunt, you would have died long ago.
"Why are you bringing this up? Do you want to use the past friendship to let me save you again today?"
Xiao Yunjie snorted softly. Now that things have come to this, he has given up on himself and can't bear it anymore.
He even told Qi State, is there anything else he can't say?
"Stop being hypocritical. You want me to die immediately. How can you save me?"
Wen Jin shook his head, "You have never been a mother, so you don't understand a mother's heart."
She spoke very slowly, her tone and eyes were gentle.
The surrounding courtiers secretly breathed in, as if they were worried that Wen Jin had "a woman's kindness".
Xiao Yunjie sneered, "I fell into your trap today... Stop pretending."
Wen Jin shook his head and said, "I know that you are saving face, but now that things have happened, I'm afraid you have put your life and death at risk.
"You will no longer beg the emperor to spare your life, you just beg to die to preserve your last dignity.
"But haven't you realized that you were deceived from the beginning to the end. You were used by outsiders to deal with your relatives and compatriots. You fought for them.
"But where are those people who took advantage of you now? Did they ever really care about you? Did they care about your honor or disgrace? Or your dignity as a human being?"
In front of the palace gate, it was quiet for a while.
But it was different from the previous dead silences.
This time of silence seemed to bring a lot of restraint and deep thought.
Many people even realized that although Xiao Yunjie was their enemy, he was once their compatriot.
Are they also being instigated by outsiders and just thinking about how to use more cruel methods to deal with their compatriots?
Wen Jin had a faint smile on his face, decent and calm, "Your purpose may be revenge, maybe it is to seize power. You think you are cooperating with them and it is mutual benefit, but have you calmed down and seriously thought about it?" But, is that really the case?"
Xiao Yunjie looked at Wen Jin suspiciously.
It's strange... He didn't hold back any impulse, but he just didn't speak.
He’s not incontinent either…
Wen Jin said, "Why don't we all calm down and think about it now, if you win, what will you get? If you lose, what will you get?"
Xiao Yunjie was shocked... The problem he thought he couldn't understand before was suddenly enlightened at this moment.
"If I win...if I take revenge and kill you, I will only be a sinner of Daliang and a sinner of the Xiao family...
"Even if I can sit on the throne...can I be supported and recognized by my ministers?"
"Ha..." Xiao Yunjie smiled sadly, tears streaming down his face as he smiled.
