No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 305 Death Free Gold Medal! (one more)
There was silence in the Buddhist hall, and everyone who could still open their eyes and pant widened their eyes and looked at Xie Yan.

Although they all knew that Xie Yan and King Mu were almost strangers, they never thought that he would kill his own father if he dared to say so.

Yao Zhong's expression was very ugly, he stared at Xie Yan and said, "What do you want to do!"

Xie Yan said: "I just think that the things of the past should be over. Back then, my uncle cared about the Marquis of Shang and the situation at that time, and suppressed these things with all his strength. Now that my uncle and brother Huang are gone, I will finish it."

"He is your father." Yao Zhong said coldly, if people know that Xie Yan killed his own father, the consequences will never be less than his intention to usurp the throne.

You know, in the hearts of those literati and officials, even if a son denounces his father for a crime, it is considered unfilial, including Yao Zhong himself.

It's not that he is as pedantic as those sour scholars, but that their education from childhood is based on family.No matter how rebellious the family members are, they must not disturb the government and ruin the family's reputation unless it is absolutely necessary.It is a taboo that the son sues the father, and the son kills the father, in a rich and aristocratic family.

Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "I am the Prince Regent of Dasheng."

Yao Zhong quickly understood the meaning of Xie Yan's words, he was the regent of Dasheng, and King Mu made such a big mistake, killing him would be a way to give justice to the court and give the world an explanation.To put it in a small way, it's the killing of relatives by righteousness.

Even if he is insulted and cast aside by the world, he doesn't care.

Yao Zhong laughed out loud suddenly, looked at Xie Yan and nodded, "As expected of Xie Bian who taught him."

Dasheng, the founding emperor, was also considered a strange person. He came from an official family. Although the original Xie family was more like an upstart compared to the Yao family, it was indeed an official son.

But the founding emperor, who was not weak in martial arts and martial arts, was bold and resolute, more like a general.

Compared with Bai Su back then, Xie Bian appeared to be more generous, kind, and aboveboard.

This uprightness was not pretended. In his opinion, the Shanghou father and son did the wrong thing for Dasheng and because he, the emperor, could not provide food and grass in time. In any case, he could not push the merchant as a scapegoat.But he also thought that it was the Xie family who were sorry for the Yao family, so no matter how much Yao Zhong tried in the early years, he refused to attack him.If it weren't for the fact that the situation at the time did not allow it, Xie Bian might really have taken the matter by himself.Just as in those years in Xinzhou, there were always rumors secretly that Gaozu sent people to destroy the Yao family, and Xie Bian hardly expressed his opinion on this.In the eyes of some, this is almost the default.

To a certain extent, Gaozu also protected Yao Chong back then.

You must know that after the Yao family was destroyed, Yao Zhong, as the only Yao family member who was still alive, was not the only one who wanted to kill him, and it wasn't just those who participated in the extermination case that benefited.

If Yao rejuvenates the Yao family, these benefits that have been eaten will naturally be spit out.Therefore, even if the whole world regrets the catastrophe of the Yao family, there is no one who really hopes to revive the Yao family and hopes that Yao Zhong will live.

Yao Zhong used to think that this person was very hypocritical. Earlier, he just felt a little guilty in his heart, and sooner or later he would find a reason to kill him.

But if a person can stand up to the suspicion and discussion of the world and persevere for a lifetime, no matter how much he disagrees with it, Yao Zhong feels that he has nothing to say.

His nephew grew up beside Xie Bian, and Yao Chong felt that he should be happy when he grew up like this.He still remembered Xie Yan's appearance when he was eight years old. Whether Xie Yan stayed in the Mu Palace or followed him, Xie Yan probably couldn't look like a normal person.

After laughing enough, Yao Zhong slowly sat up and said, "I want to take these two people away."

"Where are you taking it?" Xie Yan asked.

Yao Zhong said: "You don't need to ask about it, anyway, you won't see them again in the future."

Xie Yan took a glance and finally stopped vomiting, looking at his own King Mu with fear.King Mu obviously hoped that Xie Yan could stop Yao Zhong, he would never hope that he would fall into Yao Zhong's hands.

Concubine Mu didn't react at all, she still squatted quietly beside Yao Chong's legs, as if she didn't hear her brother's words.

Xie Yan thought for a moment, and said, "It's not enough yet."

"Why?" Yao Zhong was obviously displeased.

Xie Yan said: "Prince Mu and Concubine Wang cannot disappear without reason. You can take them away after the Yao family's affairs are settled."

Yao Zhong was taken aback, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face when he realized, "You want to make the case of the Yao family extermination public?"

Xie Yan said: "Except for the old Shanghou."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Yan sighed lightly, "Everything was done by Marquis Dingyang alone, and has nothing to do with Marquis Shang."

Yao Zhong sat in the chair, seeming to be thinking about something with downcast eyes.After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head and sneered, shook his head and said, "I really don't know what you people are insisting on."

Before his death, the old man surnamed Shang sent him a letter, saying that he was the only one who planned everything, and that his son was only forced by his father as a last resort.His son has guarded his father's reputation for more than ten years, even if he died in pain.Why bother?

Soon he said calmly again: "Okay, I agree."

King Mu's eyes widened in horror. He opened his mouth to say something, but for some reason, he could only make a vague sound.

He soon discovered this problem, so he shook his head desperately at Xie Yan.It's a pity that Xie Yan didn't react at all to his actions, but just plainly told Qin Yao'er outside the door, "Don't let people die."

Then he looked at Yao Zhong, "You..."

Yao Zhong stood up, chuckled lightly and said, "I'm waiting for the result you give me." After saying that, he stepped outside.

As soon as he left, Princess Mu, who was shrinking beside his legs, stood up suddenly, and followed him out in a somewhat stumbling manner.

It's just that her leg was injured, and she fell to the ground after walking a few steps and couldn't get up.

Seeing Yao Zhong go out, Princess Mu showed a trace of panic on her dazed face, "Brother, brother..."

Yao Zhong ignored her, and walked away without looking back.

Yao Zhong left, but left the palace in a mess.

"My lord! My lord!" Princess Mu An suddenly shouted loudly, Qin Yao'er, who was squatting beside King Mu to check the situation, turned to look at Xie Yan.

Seeing Xie Yan nod his head slightly, he just got up and walked over to treat Xie Jin.

Xie Jin was seriously injured, but luckily it was not fatal.Princess Mu An was relieved when she got Qin Yao'er's affirmative answer, but she didn't say anything more, she just carefully supported her husband who had to move in her arms.

Their second wife was lucky, except for Xie Jin who was seriously injured, there were no casualties.

But Xie Chengyou couldn't accept it, he lost his parents and grandmother overnight, and the grandfather who loved him so much seemed to be useless.Not only that, but he himself was abolished.

Originally, Xie Chengyou still pinned his hopes on next year's spring, but now that his hand is broken and his face is disfigured, it is tantamount to cutting off all his hopes.

Maybe one day his hand will heal, and he can even practice writing with his left hand.However, those with damaged faces are not allowed to enter the court as officials!

Before today, he didn't even know his grandfather did such a thing.

Why? !Why should it be blamed on them? !

"Third uncle!" Xie Chengyou said hoarsely, "You let him go like this?!"

Xie Yan lowered his head and glanced at him calmly, and asked, "What do you want?"

Xie Chengyou said: "He did these things and almost destroyed the Mu Palace! Just because he is your uncle, can he get away with it?"

The overlapping shadow reminded: "Young Master Xie, this is Prince Mu An's Mansion."

The title of Prince Mu was downgraded to be inherited by his son, and it was already the residence of Prince Mu An.Although Mu Wang was still called a prince on the surface, but that was just a title.The exact name should be Tai Wang, Tai Shang Huang may be extremely noble, but Tai Wang can only show his prestige in his own home.

Xie Chengyou was speechless, but still stared at Xie Yan, obviously wanting him to give an answer.

Xie Yan took Luo Junyao's hand and asked calmly, "Who did he kill?"

"..." Xie Chengyou didn't answer, but his eyes were full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

It is true that Yao Zhong did not kill anyone with his own hands, but the laws of the court are not really that loose. If Yao Zhong really enforced the law impartially, he would not be able to escape the responsibility.

Xie Yan chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "Prince Mu Tai colluded with the Bai family and gangsters, exterminated people and robbed wealth, and he should be punished for the crime. As a sinner, the title and salary will naturally be taken back. Second brother, you Say it?"

Xie Jin leaned on his wife and looked up at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan was also looking down at him, and the two of them looked at each other for a while, before Xie Jin struggled to sit up, and said in a weak voice, "It's the father who was at fault first...Mr. Yao didn't hurt anyone in the palace today." It means that what happened in the Mu An Palace today has nothing to do with Yao Zhong, and the Mu An Palace will not mention it again.

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Second Brother, rest at ease."

Xie Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded his head slightly and stopped talking, only smiled wryly in his heart.Even if they want to pursue it, so what?What happened in this Buddhist hall just now, if it is really revealed, the entire Mu An Palace will be ashamed to gain a foothold in Shangyong in the future.

Father and son killing each other, brothers killing each other... It really is retribution!Xie Jin looked coldly at King Mu not far away and thought to himself.

Although Princess Mu An was a little upset in her heart, she knew the seriousness, and she didn't say anything more when she saw her husband like this, but let her husband lean on her carefully.

They still have titles, they still have to live in Shangyong, and they have children and natal families, so there is no need to offend the current regent for this matter.

It was almost noon when he came out of Prince Mu's Mansion.

As soon as the group of people went out, they saw a person standing at the door, who seemed to be the person who followed Yao Zhong before.

"Meet the Regent, Princess."

"What's the matter?" Xie Yan asked.

The man brought a box to Xie Yan. Xie Yan frowned slightly and raised his hand to take it. When he opened it, he saw that there was a golden token inside.

Luo Junyao was a little curious, "What is this?" She seemed to have never seen such a token.

Xie Yan closed the box, handed it to Die Ying behind him and said, "This is the gold medal for avoiding death personally bestowed by His Majesty Gao Zu."

"Gold medal for avoiding death?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "It seems to be different from my father's." His father also has a token in his hand, but it is not golden, and it is not even the shape of a token.

Xie Yan shook his head and said: "The piece in my father-in-law's hand is the iron voucher of the Danshu. As long as you don't commit the serious crime of treason, you can avoid the death penalty three times, and it can be passed on to your descendants. As long as you don't change the dynasty, it will be valid forever, and you must have great merit. There are only three death-prevention gold medals personally created, which can only be used once, cannot be passed down, and can only be used by oneself. But there is no restriction on who can be bestowed, the first two have already been taken back, and this is the last one."

After finishing speaking, Xie Yan turned back to the man and said: "This king knows, you can go back and return your life."

The man saluted Xie Yan silently, turned around and left quickly.

Looking at his leaving back, Luo Junyao was a little surprised and said, "Gaozu actually gave him a gold medal to avoid death?"

Xie Yan said: "Uncle has a resolute personality and is almost stubborn in some things. He wants to protect the business, and as long as he lives, he will never let his uncle touch the Shanghou father and son. He feels sorry for the Yao family, and even if he is about to die, he will tell the emperor to take care of it. Uncle, leave him a way out."

Luo Jun frowned and said: "But, no one will be happy like this, right?" Yao Zhong was suppressed and couldn't take revenge, so naturally he wouldn't be happy, let alone appreciate it.The Marquis of Shang died young, and the Marquis of Dingyang lived uncomfortable these years, as if no one had taken advantage of it.

Xie Yan said: "Even if my uncle is the founding emperor, he can't achieve perfection in everything." The more he wants to have both, the more he will fail.Perhaps as my aunt said, Gaozu tried his best when he was alive, but what will happen to the living in the future, how can he control the dead?

"That's true." Luo Junyao sighed, who can do this kind of thing perfectly?Fortunately, it is finally over now.
