humble minister

There are many things in this world that are uncertain, otherwise there would not be a word called "mutation", but no one would have imagined that this word would one day be fulfilled so quickly in Shengjue Zhengnong. Even adults.

It was as if overnight, the news that Mr. Lian was in collusion with foreign enemies and was actually a spy spread throughout the Northern Dynasty, and Mr. Tingyun was the one he used to disguise his identity.

It was as if overnight, the sudden death of the princess of the current dynasty was like a real hammer, and the Lord Lian who was judged by everyone as a "traitor" and "spies" was once again involved.

It is said that "rumors stop at the wise", but in the face of absolute evidence, even the wise cannot refute.

When Lian Ying was escorted and knelt on the court hall to be interrogated by the officials and that person, he still hadn't recovered from his senses, everything happened too quickly.But he didn't seem to panic at all, because before that he had a faint, bad premonition.

Didn't he already know that someone was going to deal with him in the previous contest between the monarch and his ministers? But his majesty thought that as long as he married the princess, he would be able to escape disaster, but at this moment, the death of the princess happened to be the last... fatal blow.

Shi Yu, oh Shi Yu, in order to keep me, you have taken care of your only younger sister, so now do you still want to protect me? Or, do you hate me...

If you want to blame them, blame them for being too arrogant, underestimating the opponent's strength and underestimating the opponent's resourcefulness.

How wonderful it is, one by one!

First let a generation of loyal and admonishing ministers Liang Xun "accidentally" hear rumors of an improper relationship between him and the current emperor, and provoke a dispute between the monarch and his ministers that is likely to lead to a breakdown in the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Then, before the battle between the monarch and his ministers, he arranged for those traitors and spies who escaped in the chaos that day to come and beat him up, and immediately pointed the finger at Lian Ying, putting him in an inhumane place.

But maybe the other party didn't expect that the emperor would actually use such a trick of bestowing a marriage, so he spent some time in peace, but these days only gave the other party time to come up with a more poisonous, more ruthless, and more deadly strategy. ——Using the death of the princess to put him to death.

After the fierce one-sided quarrel between him and the princess, Lian Yingyou wanted to go to the princess and make it clear. After all, although he didn't have the love and admiration for Min Rong as a lover, his brother's affection for his sister was still the same. Yes, and he didn't want to embarrass Shi Yu because of it.

It's just that what he didn't even think of was that his trip just sent himself to death.

When he came to the door of the princess bedroom, Lian Ying felt a little something wrong and uneasy when he found that the palace was terribly silent and empty, and this feeling of something wrong and uneasy was not answered after he knocked on the door for a long time Time is more intense.

Just as he was about to leave, a person hit him on the neck from behind, and before he fell into a coma, he clearly saw that the person was wearing the costume of a Jinyu Palace...

When he woke up completely, Lian Ying saw Her Royal Highness, whom he had not seen all this time—lying in a pool of blood, her beautiful big eyes were wide open, looking straight in his direction.

And the dried blood flowed out from a knife wound on his abdomen, as for that knife... was being held tightly in Lian Ying's own hands.

Before Lian Ying could react, or recover from the shock of Min Rong's death, the door was knocked open.

He raised his hand to cover his eyes dazzled by the strong light, and before he could make any excuses, someone pointed him out as the murderer of the princess.And when he let go of his hand, those who swarmed in had already captured him severely, and all he could see was Shi Yu's angry and sad but extremely cold eyes, looking at him, making him feel like Falling into the ice abyss...

Then, he was brought here to listen to the rebuttals and criticisms of these civil and military officials.In fact, among so many people, there are those who scold him and doubt him, and those who support him and believe in him, but obviously there are more of the former.But when a letter of collaboration with the enemy was placed in front of everyone, everyone was silent for a moment.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is a letter that I found in Master Lian's study. The contents of the letter are all words of collusion with the important officials of the Southern Dynasty. Please make a decision."

As soon as the words were spoken, the officials began to commotion again. Those who scolded and questioned even more fiercely scolded and questioned more fiercely, while most of those who originally supported chose to remain silent, only a very small number of people still supported.

"Your Majesty, I absolutely do not believe that Lord Lian will collude with the enemy and treason the country. There must be villains secretly framed during this." Li Qing took the lead to stand up and declare his attitude, very decisive.

In fact, the things he checked these days already had some clues, as long as he gave him some more time, he would definitely be able to find out the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to move so fast.For this, he has now blamed himself to death.

"Your Majesty, I have seconded the proposal. Sir Lian has done a lot for this dynasty since he took office, and the policies he implemented are even more beneficial to the country and the people, and have solved many problems of people's livelihood and officials in the Northern Dynasty. How about such a person who is concerned about the country and the people? How could a man commit treason?"

Jiang Chongzheng saw that after Li Qing stood up and said these words, many people began to look at him unkindly, so he quickly stood up and said something beautiful.

On the one hand, he and Li Qing got closer because they couldn't get along well. At this time, his wife (after thinking about it) is attacked by people with such eyes, can he not protect her?

On the other hand, the most important aspect is that he never believed that Lian Ying would betray the Northern Dynasty, or more precisely, that Lian Ying would betray Shi Yu.Based on the fact that this person stepped into Misty Ridge without hesitation to save His Majesty who was a general at the time, he felt that even if this person would betray everything, he would not betray His Majesty.

"The general's words are serious. Even your lord is really a 'concern for the country and the people'. He even found that letter in a book called "The Way to Govern the People."

The military officer who reported earlier said sarcastically, and then turned to Lian Ying who was kneeling on the ground as if asking for advice: "I hope that Lord Lian can tell the junior officer, how can you, a courtier, write down the words 'governing the people' without shame?" Two characters? Could it be that I think I can climb up again?"

Although what the military officer said was extremely unsteady, he named it a little bit—although Mr. Lian is now an extremely human minister, isn’t there an emperor above the prime minister? It is indeed inappropriate to publish a book like "The Essentials of Governing the People".

Lian Ying had expected this link as early as when the military officer said that the letter was found from the study.It was also his fault for being careless before, thinking that after finishing the book, it would be good to hand it over to Shi Yu privately, but he never thought that one day his house would be ransacked, it really is God's will.

Just as Lian Ying was about to answer the provocative military officer, a voice came from outside the hall, and at the same time there was the clanging sound of the armor hitting.

"Of course others can't do it, but even adults can." Jiang Bailang in military uniform strutted in amidst everyone's amazed eyes, and the one who followed him was someone who hadn't been to court for a long time. The amicable, old fox-like Prince Xiang.

"Whether others know it or not, I and Prince Xiang both know that even Your Majesty and His Majesty are close friends, and this "Essentials for Governing the People" must be written for His Majesty. You people are talking nonsense. , why are you so blind?"

As soon as Jiang Bailang's rude words came out, he offended most of the people. Many people who were higher than him glared at him, but when they met the eyes of the old fox Shixiang behind him, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. They all took it back, and turned to whispering and whispering.

Seeing that the group of people didn't take his words seriously at all, Jiang Bailang couldn't help feeling anxious. He was about to say something more when Shi Xiang pulled his sleeves. He turned his head in puzzlement, but saw Shi Xiang pointing his eyes at him. Looking at the person on the dragon chair, he instantly understood what the other person meant.

"Ahem, what's the use of ministers arguing about this, His Majesty hasn't spoken yet."

Jiang Bailang's words were like a blow to the head, directly waking up those officials who had their own thoughts - yes, His Majesty hasn't said anything yet, aren't they looking for death by arguing here early? Besides, His Majesty loves the princess so much , I guess I'm in a bad mood now, maybe who I'm going to make fun of.

All of a sudden, all the officials became quiet, and looked timidly at the majestic man on the high seat.

Shi Yu didn't read the letter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he didn't look at the civil and military officials, and he didn't look at Jiang Bailang who came in wearing a military uniform, which was extremely unruly. From the beginning to the end, he only looked at Lian Ying who was kneeling in the hall.

Those dark and deep eyes rolled with things that Lian Ying couldn't understand, and that expressionless face looked decisive, indifferent, and heartless, which made people shudder.

At this moment, Lian Ying felt a little panic, he was worried that Shi Yu would really distrust him and kill him because of Min Rong...

"What else do you have to say?" After a long time, Shi Yu calmly said such a sentence.

It sounds like there is no anger, no blame, but it is this kind of sentence that makes people extra shocking.

"Your Majesty, I can explain..." Lian Ying was hit hard on the face by a pile of memorials as soon as he opened his mouth, and his forehead and the corners of his mouth were bleeding instantly, and the scattered memorials were spread all over the floor.

Just at this moment, all the officials held their breath.Just as Jiang Bailang was about to step forward, Shi Xiang forcibly grabbed his arm, signaling no.

"Explain how you want to explain!" It seemed that the accumulated anger was ignited all of a sudden, Shi Yu stood up violently, his red eyes burned the person in front of him like a fire.

"The people in the princess palace said they saw you enter the princess's room with their own eyes and never came out again, and you happened to be by your side when the princess was found dead, with the murder weapon in your hand. How do you explain this? A misunderstanding, or a coincidence" Shi Yu said word by word, walking towards the bleeding man.

The blood on the forehead and the corner of the mouth was flowing non-stop, but Lian Ying didn't pay attention to it at all.He wanted to explain, wanted to say that this was just a clumsy setup, but under Shi Yu's increasingly cold and violent expression, he found how strenuous and difficult it was to say a word.

Because Shi Yu no longer trusted him.

Because no matter what, he "killed" Shi Yu's most beloved and only sister.

"Someone said that they heard the princess arguing with you in your palace that day, and she ran out crying after the quarrel. Can you explain why?"

Step by step, getting closer, but every step seemed to step on Lian Ying's heart, making him breathless.

And Shi Yu's words made him suddenly realize that the other party had already thought about this step, and because of this step, the setup became less clumsy.

"Lian Ying, what you killed was not someone else but my only imperial sister. That is my relative! And what are you!" Swept over every bloodstain on Lianying's face.

"Lian Ying, you have disappointed me so much..."

"Come here, send Lord Lian to the sky prison..."
