Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

After discussing with the ministers, Nangong Rui decided to hand over Xiao Ruyan to calm the anger of Yelan Kingdom.

At the same time, Xia Houqi and Nangong Chuxi were sent as envoys to Yelan Kingdom to congratulate the new king of Yelan Kingdom.

But before going to Yelan as an envoy, the matter of Xiao Yuanyu leaking the defense map of the border city must be dealt with first.

Xiao Yuanyu did not receive the reminder from Xiao Changheng's flying pigeon letter, so he came directly to Shengjing without making any preparations.

When Xiao Changheng saw Xiao Yuanyu entering Shengjing so openly, he thought that the leak of the defense map had nothing to do with him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Xiao Yuanyu was being interrogated, Xiao Changheng realized that something was wrong, and his letter was never delivered to Xiao Yuanyu's hands.

"Xiao Yuanyu, do you know why I summoned you to return to Shengjing?" Nangong Rui looked at Xiao Yuanyu who was standing below and asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't know, but Your Majesty has an edict, and I must return to Shengjing."

Xiao Yuanyu didn't know why he was suddenly called back to Beijing. He guessed that it had something to do with the border town.

Could it be that you want to reward yourself?

Xiao Yuanyu himself believed that in the battle at the border town, he had no merit but hard work, so he should be rewarded based on his merit.

Hearing Xiao Yuanyu's words, Nangong Chuxi smiled directly:

He was so stupid that he didn't know what he had done wrong until he died.

Hearing this, Nangong Rui did not beat around the bush and directly called out Shen Changyi, asking Shen Changyi and Xiao Yuanyu to confront each other.

"Shen Aiqing, General Xiao doesn't know what it is, so please tell me what you know."

"Yes, Weichen Shen Changyi has been responsible for the defense of the border city before. He has met Xiao Yuanyu, the general of Xiangmeng City, occasionally. We occasionally discuss the defense together. One day, Xiao Yuanyu asked Weichen about the defense of the border city. How about the defense? Xiangmeng City can refer to the defense of the border city. Wei Chen thought that Xiao Yuanyu, as the general of Xiangmeng City, had this intention, so he took out the defense map of the border city and shared it with Xiao Yuanyu. Discussed the defense of the border town."

"Go on -"

At this time, Xiao Yuanyu's expression was already very bad, but Nangong Rui still asked Shen Changyi to continue talking.

"Just a few days after Wei Chen and Xiao Yuanyu discussed the defense plan, the border city was lost, and the border city was captured without spending a single soldier. Without the defense plan of the border city, Xiao Ruyan and others would never have been able to defeat the border city. They may have driven straight in, so I suspect that it was Xiao Yuanyu who leaked the defense of the border city to Xiao Ruyan, which led to the case in the border city!"

Shen Changyi's words were clear and coherent. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Yuanyu.

Xiao Yuanyu was also shocked when he heard this, and then he knelt down directly.

"I am wronged. I definitely did not collude with the people of Yelan Kingdom and leak the prepared defense to the people of Yelan Kingdom!" Xiao Yuanyu looked very ugly as if he had been greatly wronged.

"General Xiao, don't change your mind secretly. Master Shen did not say that you leaked the defense plan to the people of Yelan Kingdom. He only said that you and Xiao Ruyan might collude." Nangong Chuxi said slowly.

Just now, Shen Changyi didn't mention Yelan Kingdom, only said it was Xiao Ruyan, but Xiao Yuanyu's explanation couldn't be separated from Yelan Kingdom, as if he was deliberately concealing something.

"The Emperor has misunderstood me. Whether it is Ye Languo or Xiao Ruyan, I have no collusion. I am loyal to Wanshengguo!" Xiao Yuanyu said sincerely.

"Then how do you explain why the border town was lost after I showed you the defense plan?" Shen Changyi asked coldly.

"Master Shen keeps saying that I leaked the defense plans. Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence to prove it, you can't just slander me!" Xiao Yuanyu said very unconvinced.

The two almost quarreled in the court, but Xia Houqi stopped them in time.

"Does Mr. Xiao have evidence to prove his innocence?" Xia Houqi asked again.

"I, I, have never done this, how can I prove my innocence?" Xiao Yuanyu said coldly.

"Oh? What's the explanation for the letters found in Mr. Xiao's house?" Nangong Chuxi asked coldly, then took out a few letters from his arms and waved them in front of Xiao Yuanyu!

When Xiao Yuanyu saw the letter, his pupils immediately dilated.

impossible! He hid the letter well, how could it be in Di Ji's hands!

Seeing Xiao Yuanyu's expression changed drastically, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.

Then Nangong Chuxi presented the letter to Nangong Rui for review, and then continued:

"This letter was found by Xuan Yiwei in your house after you left Xiangmeng City. It contains a detailed record of how you and Xiao Ruyan planned to conquer the border city. Now that it has happened, what else do you have to argue with? of?"

"What? Xuan Yiwei!"

"Has Your Majesty actually handed over Xuanyi Guard to Di Ji?"

"Since it was discovered by Xuanyi Guards, there must be nothing wrong."

When everyone heard Nangong Chuxi's words, they immediately started talking. At this time, Nangong Rui had already read the letter.

After reading it, Nangong Rui became furious and threw the letter directly in front of Xiao Yuanyu.

"See for yourself! Is it your handwriting? Where did I wrong you? Why did you betray me and the Wansheng Kingdom!" Nangong Rui said angrily.

Xiao Yuanyu turned pale when he saw the letter on the ground and confirmed that it was evidence of collusion between himself and Xiao Ruyan.

Xiao Changheng's face was also very ugly. It was over, it was completely over, the Xiao family was completely over!

His daughter can't be saved, and Xiao Yuanyu can't be saved either. The entire Xiao family will decline from now on!

"Xiao Yuanyu, what else do you have to quibble with? Why don't you just recruit from the truth——"

In the face of irrefutable evidence, Xiao Yuanyu could no longer make any excuses. He could only tell the story of how he contacted and colluded with Xiao Ruyan. ,

After hearing Xiao Yuanyu's self-report, all the ministers felt very sorry.

It's such a pity. Xiao Yuanyu obviously has a bright future, but now he has betrayed Wansheng Kingdom like this. It is simply unforgivable.

"Treason is a capital crime. Since you have admitted it, I have nothing to say. I will take Xiao Yuanyu to the sky prison and behead him later——"

Nangong Rui gave the order, and the guards immediately came forward and took Xiao Yuanyu down.

Xiao Changheng was trembling and didn't know what to do.

"Xiao Changheng——"

"Your Majesty is here"

Xiao Changheng knelt down, slowly closed his eyes, and waited for his sentence.

"There are two traitors in your Xiao family, but since you were not involved in this matter, I only reduced your official position and demoted you to a commoner. Do you have any complaints?"

"I dare not. My daughter and my nephew did such a thing. It is a shame to the Xiao family. The whole Xiao family will never be able to apologize for their sins——"

"In this case, from now on, everyone in the Xiao family can no longer serve as officials in the court. They will all be demoted to common people. Without being summoned, they will never be allowed to enter Shengjing!"

"Yes, Cao Min, thank you——" (End of Chapter)
