After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Yu Hehuan took out a document from her sleeve pocket.

The document was yellowed and brittle, and it looked like it had been there for some time.

She presented the document to Master Wen: "Master Wen, please have a look. I found this letter from the secret compartment in the Prime Minister's study. It was written by the Emperor to the Prime Minister."

Murong Tao's expression changed drastically when he saw the letter.

Zhou Shuo held the tourmaline beads tightly and stared at Murong Tao resentfully, as if blaming him for not destroying the letter.

Wen Taishi opened it carefully and carefully read it. The letter stated that Murong Tao should poison the well water of Xuanke Temple, stun everyone in the temple, and then lead people to kill the Crown Prince of Beiyan and his envoys, and even All the monks, including the abbot, were left alone except Zhou Wuhao.

Although there is no signature at the end of the letter, there is Zhou Shuo's personal seal.

Wen Taishi's fingertips trembled slightly.

Although he did not directly participate in the trial of the Xuanke Temple murder case, he still remembered the evening when Zhou Wuyan died.

When that amazingly talented and beautiful man was led to the guillotine, there was heavy snow in the sky, and the white chrysanthemums on the banks of the Xuanhu River were blooming with great enthusiasm.

Until the moment the knife fell, Zhou Wuyang was still in a state of unconsciousness.

The hot blood turned the white chrysanthemums on the river bank red, and the people watching kept scolding Zhou Wuhuang for betraying the country and betraying his brothers, scolding him for not being willing to die and leaving a legacy of infamy throughout the ages.

That winter, although he regretted that a genius like Zhou Wuyang died at such a young age, he also scorned his behavior. Like everyone else, he believed that Zhou Wuyang was a hopeless bastard.

That evening, the long wind from the north roared past, like countless dead souls roaring unwillingly in the wind.

The cold wind blew open the door of the Golden Palace.

Grandmaster Wen suddenly felt a downright chill, as if the snowstorm more than 20 years ago had crossed the light, shadow and mountains, carrying the unwilling heroic soul and descended on him again.

Zhou Wuhao...

He was only in his early twenties when he died, and was clearly still a child.

It is said that he admires the princess of Beiyan and may marry her next spring.

But until he died, he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.

Wen Taishi's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and he silently handed the document to other important ministers to take turns to browse.

Yu Hehuan gently shook her fan and continued to pace in the hall like a storyteller, saying calmly: "Back then, the two countries discussed signing an armistice covenant at Xuanke Temple. The abbot of Xuanke Temple personally sent out the invitation to show his solemnity and specifically wrote The names of the officials who came to negotiate the peace and the time of their attendance were recorded in order to be recorded in the annals of history. Although Prime Minister Murong was meticulous and made the murder scene very realistic and beautiful, he accidentally left out the parchment with the names of the officials participating from the two countries.

"Unfortunately, my father suspected that the Xuanke Temple murder case was suspicious, so he went to the temple to investigate in person. Although there were no flaws in the temple, my father still refused to believe that King Dingbei was the murderer. He dug up alone After visiting the tomb of the abbot and finding this parchment from his cassock, my father found that Prime Minister Murong seemed to have disappeared from the whole incident, so he concluded that the Xuanke Temple murder case was definitely not happening. Simple. My father suspects that King Dingbei was framed."

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Zhou Shuo and Murong Tao's faces were like water, and they were silent. Yu Hehuan continued: "Everyone must already know what happened next. My father was killed after he was wronged, and my family went to Jiuquan with him. Fortunately, I was taken away by the wet nurse and escaped. I myself I have been homeless since I was a child. Although I have never seen my father and mother since I can remember, I have always been proud of their persistence. I will do the things that my father has not done. I will redress the grievances that my father has failed to do. I think there must be justice in this world, even for the emperor and his ministers.”

The girl made a splash.

Wen Taishi sighed deeply.

He stood up slowly and looked at the man on the dragon throne with disappointment: "What did your Majesty say?"

Zhou Shuo said word by word: "It's nonsense, I don't know what it means. Wu Wei and I are brothers, and he single-handedly supported me to ascend the throne as emperor. He can be said to be my benefactor. Why did I harm him? Yu Hehuan, is it Lao Si and Master Wen forced you to say these things? Are you planning to rebel too?"

He backhandedly threw the charge of rebellion on Zhou Xianfeng.

Zhou Xianfeng was very angry: "Father! I have no ambition to go to Beijing, and I have never thought about fighting for the crown prince! In this life, I only want to protect the peace of the country, and I have never participated in the struggle for power! Father! Do you want to blame your sons and grandfather for the sins you have committed?"

"The truth is, the Fourth Highness and Grand Master Wen have harbored evil intentions for a long time!" Murong Tao raised his finger and pointed at his grandfather and grandson, "Grand Master Wen is proud of his troops and has his own way of doing things. He has never taken the Holy Emperor seriously in these years! Every time he returns to Beijing, he interferes in the affairs of the government and criticizes the emperor. His ambition is obvious! Why don't you take down Master Wen?"

Outside the Golden Palace, the Imperial Guards had already been ambushed.

They swarmed in and surrounded Grand Master Wen and Zhou Xianfeng without hesitation.

The expressions of all the officials in the palace suddenly changed, and they were all as silent as a cicada, daring not to say a word.

No one expected that the old case from more than 20 years ago would suddenly involve the Fourth Prince and Master Wen again.

Which song is being sung tonight? !

Wen Taishi's old face was extremely ugly.

He looked at Zhou Shuo from a distance, as if he couldn't believe that the emperor he had assisted for so many years was actually a wolf in human skin!

He was trembling all over, and his voice was old and hoarse: "The Wen family is loyal to Dazhou. How many sons and daughters of the family have died in the battlefield, your Majesty, don't you know? Your Majesty has repeatedly framed Zhongliang, and even refused to let go of his closest relatives. Maybe at night Sleep well!”

Zhou Shuo stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Zhou Wuxu has long had the intention to rebel, but he deliberately pretends to be virtuous and generous. Everyone in the world is just kept in the dark by him! Why frame Zhongliang, Xuan Ke The incident in the temple was just that I exposed his true face in advance, why did I do anything wrong! He covets the throne and my woman, he deserves to die!"

Men hunt in royal robes.

His eyes were red, and the tourmaline beads were cut off and scattered all over the floor. The twelve-bead imperial crown on his head shook sharply. A few strands of disheveled white hair fell from his temples and forehead. His long nails pointed at All the officials in the palace looked crazy, wanton and terrifying.

Murong Tao cupped his hands and echoed: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that Grand Master Wen is an old party member of King Dingbei. He holds a high position and has ulterior motives. Please execute him immediately as a warning to others!"

Zhou Shuo immediately waved his hand and said: "Kill him, kill Grand Master Wen!"

Wen Taishi sternly said: "I want to see who dares to take action!"

He has been fighting all year round, and although he is old, he is still full of energy. For a while, the guards looked at each other and did not dare to move forward. (End of chapter)
