In the previous life, not long after Xiao Yi ascended the throne, the Southern Miao people who had always been on good terms with Tiansheng on the southwest border suddenly invaded the border with a large army and issued a crusade to the world, saying that Xiao Yi killed his father and brother, usurped the country and took the throne, and was unworthy of being a king. They want to avenge the dead Son and bring justice to the world.
The Holy Son mentioned by the Southern Miao people was Xiao Cheng, and he was beheaded by Xiao Yi himself.
Stationed at the southwest border is Shen Yuan's fourth brother, Shen Zhuo's uncle, and the Protector General Shen Tu.
Shen Zhuo's grandfather, Shen Dagui, was originally an ordinary farmer in the suburbs of Kyoto. When he was young, he coincided with the August 5th Rebellion, and all his family members died in the rebellion. So Shen Dagui joined the army and relied on his military exploits to become the General of Zhenxi, reaching the third rank.
Shen Dagui had only one wife in his life and had four sons. Except for Shen Yuan, who disliked martial arts and loved literature, the other three sons were all good at martial arts, and they all joined the army with their father. The eldest son and the third son died on the battlefield in their early years, leaving only the youngest son to guard the southwest border.
Shen Tu had been a soldier all his life and was also a famous general, so no one expected that he would be defeated like a mountain. In less than ten days, Tiansheng's southwest gate was penetrated by the Nanmiao army, and the Nanmiao army marched in, reaching the strategic town of Fanyang City.
The imperial court issued an urgent order overnight, ordering Houyang Weichong to lead an army of 500,000 to rush to the rescue. The two armies fought fiercely for half a year before Tiansheng's army defeated the Southern Miao army.
In this battle, although Tiansheng won, he was still defeated, and the casualties were too heavy. Soon after, shocking news came back from the front line, saying that the reason for the previous defeat was that Shen Tu and Shen Yuan secretly colluded with Nan Miao with the intention of treason!
So Xiao Yi issued an order to capture Shen Yuan and Shen Tu and put them in the sky prison.
"Xiao Yi! How can you put both my father and uncle in prison!!"
Shen Zhuo remembered that he rushed into the imperial study room angrily to question Xiao Yi, his eyes ready to spit out fire.
Xiao Yi just raised his eyes, glanced at her lightly, and then waved his hand to make all the guards with swords in their hands retreat.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." Xiao Yi's voice was calm and cold.
Then he lowered his gaze again and continued to look at the memorial in his hand.
"That's my dad!"
"Do you know how to judge national crimes according to the law?" Xiao Yi raised his eyelids and looked coldly.
"Impossible! My uncle will not treason, and my father will not treason!" Shen Zhuo retorted loudly, every word being precise and resounding.
"Those who are traitors to the country will be punished by the nine tribes!" Xiao Yi said equally loudly.
"Bah!" Xiao Yi threw a memorial at Shen Zhuo's feet.
"This is the result of a joint trial by three departments. The evidence is conclusive, and Shen Tu has pleaded guilty."
Shen Zhuo opened the memorial and read it again and again. Her hands kept shaking and tears fell in panic. She trembled and murmured: "No, no, it's impossible..."
"Unjustly accused, yes, they must be wronged!" Shen Zhuo threw the memorial away, and she looked at Xiao Yi stubbornly, "You know, they can't be treason!"
"But, where is the evidence?" Xiao Yi looked at Shen Zhuo with a calm expression.
"If you send someone to check, they will definitely find it." Shen Zhuo knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She seemed to suddenly remember something and grabbed Xiao Yi's clothes as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
She said eagerly: "Even if no evidence is found, you are the emperor, you are the emperor, you can save them from death. You can be exiled, you can be sent..."
Shen Zhuo raised his tearful eyes and looked at Xiao Yi with hope, as if looking at the only redeemable god.
Xiao Yi looked down at her from a high position, with compassion in his eyes, but more of a hint of disgust.
"More than a hundred thousand soldiers died in the battle, and their bodies were still cold. How could you have spared me?"
Shen Zhuo's lifelong tears seemed to have been shed on that day. She broke into the prison and went to see Shen Yuan.
"Jiaojiao, dad can't protect you anymore."
Shen Yuan reached out and stroked the top of Shen Zhuo's hair through the fence. In just half a month, Shen Yuan's hair turned white, and he suddenly looked ten years older.
"Dad, you are not treasonous, are you?" Shen Zhuo asked crying.
Shen Yuan said calmly: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, what does it matter whether you are treason or not? If you want to blame me, I can only blame my father for not knowing people well, which caused this catastrophe of annihilation of the clan."
"Jiaojiao, the overall situation of this matter has been decided, so don't interfere anymore. Just raise the little stones well, and every one of them will survive as long as they can."
"Abba~~~~"
That day, Shen Zhuo collapsed and cried in the prison.
After coming out of the Heavenly Prison, Shen Zhuo returned to Longji Palace, took out all his belongings and burned them all. Then he took off his hairpin and went to Leng Palace in plain clothes.
Xiao Yi watched the whole process with cold eyes and didn't say a word.
Soon after, she heard in the cold palace that the Shen family was being executed. At the same time, Shen Wei rebelled and rebelled.
Even if she saw Shen Tuhua's confession with her own eyes, Shen Zhuo did not believe that Shen Yuan and Shen Tu would commit treason. No matter how much irrefutable evidence was thrown at her face, Shen Zhuo firmly believed that this was a frame-up.
No amount of evidence can compare to what Shen Zhuo has seen and felt over the past twenty years since he was a child. She was extremely sure that her father and uncle would not treason.
However, Xiao Yi is not her, Xiao Yi only believes in evidence.
On the day Xiao Yi ordered his house to be confiscated, Shen Zhuo was in the cold palace and was in agony. In addition to the heart-breaking pain of losing a family member, there is also the pain of having years of deep love ripped out of my heart.
If her son Xiao Wei hadn't been by her side every step of the way, she would have gone with the Shen family.
Shen Zhuo always believed that Xiao Yi actually knew that the Shen family had been wronged, but for the sake of the stability of his country, he chose to remain silent. He sacrificed the Shen family as decisively as he killed his father and brother.
Shen Zhuo once again deeply realized the ruthlessness of the Tian family. She also clearly realized for the first time that the man she married was an emperor.
People from the Tian family are even cold-blooded and cannot have anything to do with them. This is a warning that Shen Zhuo reminds himself of all his life.
In this life, she would dig deep and dig deep to find the mastermind behind the frame-up of the Shen family!
Shen Zhuo and Xiao Yi have known each other for sixteen years and been together for fourteen years. The long time, from boyhood to youth, took up half of her life. Loved, hated, countless joys, countless tears... The love, hatred and hatred from the previous life traveled through time and space, overwhelming and overwhelming, wrapped in sadness, trying to drown her.
Shen Zhuo was haunted by the past, unable to move, and his mind was hurt.
Xiao Yi felt uncomfortable being stared at. He turned his head and saw Shen Zhuo staring at him blankly. The gaze was very focused and erratic. It seemed to have no focus, as if it was looking at him, but it also seemed that it was not looking at him. It seemed that it penetrated him and landed in some unknown place.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, he didn't like Shen Zhuo looking at him like this, his eyes were empty and could not reflect his appearance at all. A strange feeling of displeasure passed through his heart, and Xiao Yi couldn't help but tighten his lips.
Shen Yao also noticed that Shen Zhuo looked straight at Xiao Yi for a long time. On the carriage back, she held Shen Zhuo's hand and looked at Shen Zhuo worriedly: "Jiaojiao, the seventh prince is not a good match."
Shen Zhuo smiled: "Sister, I know."
