The hall was quiet for a while.
Emperor An knew that Feng Qiuli was giving him steps and to appease Xiao Yan. Although he hated what Xiao Yan did tonight, he still followed Feng Qiuli's words.
"Of course I won't argue with him. I have valued him very much over the years and have entrusted him with important responsibilities. I will never pursue him afterwards just because he was confused."
Xiao Yan looked sarcastic when he heard what Emperor An said.
An Di: "..."
Liang Guangyi looked at Xiao Yan who was unmoved and knew that since he led people to force the palace tonight, he would definitely not be able to retreat easily. Furthermore, Emperor An was capricious and cold-blooded. Just by looking at the Lu family's affairs, you knew how powerful he was at crossing rivers and destroying bridges. .
How could Xiao Yan put his life in the hands of the emperor just because of his empty words?
Liang Guangyi's voice was slightly hoarse and he said: "Your Majesty, Governor Xiao is not only seeking justice for his biological father, but also asking for justice for the people who died in vain in Nandi. His filial piety is commendable. In order to show your majesty's magnanimity, it would be better to give him a reward or two. So that the world can know how much His Majesty values him?"
Emperor An's face twisted momentarily as he understood what Liang Guangyi meant.
He was reminding him that empty promises were useless. He had to give Xiao Yan something real to appease him. He had to get over the crisis of being forced into the palace today, otherwise Xiao Yan would not be able to give up.
Seeing Emperor An's hesitation, Liang Guangyi's voice became a little louder.
"Your Majesty, although the He family conspired to rebel, He Wenzhuo died early. You have always been magnanimous and discerned between loyalists and traitors. If He Wenzhuo is not guilty, you should be rewarded."
An Di could only feel the constant gasping of anger. He gritted his teeth and looked at Liang Guangyi.
Although Xiao Yan deserves to die, Liang Guangyi and Cui Lin are not good people. If they hadn't set up a trap to frame Xiao Yan and put him to death, how could there have been so many things later.
There is also Liang Guangyi. Since he already knew that Xiao Yan’s identity was wrong, he even sent people to Nandi to investigate and got the news, but his dignified grand master actually set up this kind of trap with that idiot Cui Lin, which can be broken at a glance. Bureau, if they had told him earlier.
How could he give Xiao Yan a chance to mobilize his troops? !
"Your Majesty!" Liang Guangyi called in a deep voice.
An Di looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said:
"What Taishi Liang said makes sense. Now, the son of the third brother of the He family is pardoned for forcing the palace tonight. The Black Armored Guards and the Privy Council will still be under his jurisdiction. As long as the people from the fourth camp on the outskirts of Beijing retreat safely and no longer endanger the palace, Di Tao and others will also Don’t be held accountable.”
He groped for a moment in his hand, took off the jade-colored faucet ring and handed it to Feng Lai, then said to Xiao Yan:
"This thing is something close to me. Seeing it is like seeing me. I will hand it over to Cao Gong and use him and the ring finger as evidence."
"As long as you take the people to retreat, Cao Gong will make it clear to me later that I will never investigate what happened tonight. And when He Wenzhuo's case is found out and the true and false reasons are found out, he will be vindicated for him. As promised just now, he will be named Xuanyuan." Yihou."
"I keep my word!"
After Emperor An finished speaking, he handed the ring to Feng Feng.
Waiter Feng quickly walked to Cao Dejiang's side with his fingers crossed.
"Mr. Cao..."
Cao Dejiang took the ring, took a look at it, and said directly: "This thing is indeed your Majesty's personal belongings. It is enough to bear your Majesty's seal, and it has your Majesty's personal consent. What do you think, Governor Xiao?"
Xiao Yan said calmly: "I don't believe you, but as for your Majesty..."
He just twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything, but everyone understood the ridicule.
Emperor An's face was livid: "I have made a promise, you have no joke!"
Xiao Yan: "His Majesty said the same thing half a month ago."
"You!" Andy glared angrily.
Xiao Yan said coldly: "Wei Chen has been working diligently in the palace, and has never escaped His Majesty's suspicion. If I hadn't been prepared earlier, I'm afraid Your Majesty would have already taken advantage of the situation and ordered someone to imprison Wei Chen to die."
"Wei Chen is fine alone, but there are others today. If His Majesty just wants Wei Chen to retreat with just a few casual words, Wei Chen will not dare to put everyone's life on His Majesty's side. I don't know when I can keep it." Above kindness.”
Emperor An's face tightened with anger at his words, and the atmosphere in front of the palace became tense again.
All the black-armored guards were also watching with eager eyes, holding sharp swords in their hands.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Cao Dejiang quickly spoke:
"Don't be impatient, Governor Xiao. Since Your Majesty has already spoken, he will definitely not go back on his word. If you don't believe it, then let Eunuch Feng go get the silk paper and pen. The veteran will draft the edict for Your Majesty in public. The veteran, Grand Master Liang, and Ji King Huan, King Huan and others jointly left a letter, and it was supplemented by His Majesty's signature and edict. In this way, Governor Xiao can feel at ease?"
Xiao Yan frowned, but did not continue to refute.
Cao Dejiang looked at Emperor An: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The palms of Emperor An's hands were almost bleeding, but he also knew that Xiao Yan was afraid of not letting go of rabbits. If he wanted to be safe tonight, he would have to "submit it." He suppressed the taste in his throat and said: "Just do what Mr. Cao said. Do it, Feng Lai, go get the imperial edict and bring it over."
Waiter Feng responded quickly and then looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan waved his hand: "Let him go."
Chamberlain Feng almost jogged out of the Zichen Palace, and Xiao Yan didn't ask anyone to follow him.
After everyone left, everyone in the hall was waiting anxiously.
After a full two cups of tea, Feng Neiwen and another young eunuch came back in a hurry, holding pens and ink in their hands and bright yellow silk that had been laid with paper for daily imperial edicts.
After entering the hall, the pen and ink was delivered directly to Cao Dejiang.
After the people around him hurriedly avoided it, someone cleared the table. Feng's wife was studying ink beside him. Cao Dejiang sat on the floor and started writing on the table. But within a moment, what Emperor An had said fell on the bright yellow silk. Waiting for Cao Dejiang to do so. Dejiang put away his pen and put down his pen only after he took the lead in writing down his name.
"The veteran has left his name and is willing to testify for His Majesty. As for the others... Eunuch Feng, let's start with Grand Master Liang."
"yes."
The eunuch Feng held up the imperial edict, and together with the young eunuch beside him, held it in front of Liang Guangyi along with the pen and ink.
Liang Guangyi's face turned pale and he glared at Cao Dejiang bitterly, but he still took the pen.
Before he started writing, he looked at what was written on the silk. It was indeed exactly the same as what Emperor An just said. He promised not to hold Xiao Yan responsible for forcing the palace tonight, not to implicate anyone from the fourth camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and would strictly investigate the two people afterwards. An old case from ten years ago.
If the truth is found out, He Wenzhuo will be named Marquis of Xuanyi, his tablet will be moved to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and he will share the world's incense with the royal family, and his son can inherit the title. He will not be surrendered for three generations, and his descendants will be allowed to enter the court without paying attention to the past.
After reading it, Liang Guangyi looked up at Cao Dejiang with some doubts.
Tonight, Cao Dejiang repeatedly opposed him, and in his words he often forced and ridiculed Emperor An, and even had a hint of favoritism about the past twenty years ago.
