Chapter 550
Although Xiao Zhao's crime of treason was a crime of conspiracy, there were all the witnesses and material evidences, and all the civil and military officials in the early court held different opinions on how to convict Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao, and finally they broke up in a quarrel.

Xiao Zhao, the king of Xuanwu who was imprisoned, never expected that his plot had not succeeded and was exposed, and the one who exposed him to find out everything was none other than Shangshu Ling Shen Rui, whom he had been trying to win over before!
Xiao Zhao yelled loudly in the prison, no one dared to stop him, after all the emperor ordered to treat King Xuanwu well, the guards could only ignore it.

Xiao Zhao didn't know that he had been imprisoned for a few days, he was tired of cursing, and his spirit was gradually weakening, but he was unwilling to be imprisoned like this, waiting for Xiao Heng's final fate, and said to the jailer: "Go ask the emperor Brother, come, this king wants to see him!"

The jailer shook his head and replied respectfully: "King Xuanwu, the emperor will not see you!"

"You..." Xiao Zhao was so angry that he stared at the jailer with wide eyes. Unexpectedly, the jailer didn't care about his angry face, shook his head, went to the side and sat down.

"How dare you ignore me like this, and when I leave here, I will never let you go!" Xiao Zhao slammed his fist hard at the wall, and his angry reprimands echoed throughout the prison, but no one was like before. , fell to his knees in fright because of his burst of cursing, and no one would please him as before, and they were terrified of his every word and deed!

Xiao Zhao sat slumped on the ground fluttering on the straw, thinking that he was defeated like this, he was not reconciled, but even more afraid!
Conspiracy is a capital crime, and this time, as the emperor's brother, Xiao Heng probably won't protect him either!

*****************
Morning two days later.

Because of Xiao Heng's complexion, the hall was also shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and no one dared to argue endlessly about how to deal with Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao like in the early court.

"Although Xiao Zhao had the intention of treason long ago, he has the blood of the royal family after all. I also made an oath before my mother's death that I would never kill Xiao Zhao... I can't be unfilial, so I decided not to kill Xiao Zhao. Delegate him to a commoner and send him to Yulin County!"

Xiao Heng looked around at the ministers, and spoke first.

This is also the difficult decision he made after thinking about it day and night!He promised his mother that no matter what wrong things Xiao Zhao did, he would leave Xiao Zhao alive!
Although Xiao Zhao let him down now, he will never forget the vow he made in front of his mother!

Relegating Xiao Zhao to a commoner and assigning him to Yulin County was the best decision he could think of!He also did not break the vow he made with his mother back then!

"If you dear ministers have no objections, I will issue an order..." Seeing that the ministers were arguing and no one came forward to remonstrate, Xiao Heng said lightly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Rui, the Minister in charge of thoroughly investigating the case, stood up first and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have objections!"

"What objection does Ai Qing have?" Xiao Heng asked displeasedly, frowning slightly.

"King Xuanwu delayed the army rations, murdered the King of Luoyang again and again, colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and attempted to rebel. What he committed was a capital crime. The emperor must not forgive the death crime of King Xuanwu for the sake of brotherhood, otherwise the people will not accept..."

"I also have objections!" As soon as Shen Rui finished speaking, Fan Qing, the doctor of Guanglu, also stood up, took Shen Rui's words and continued: "The laws and regulations of my court have always been strict, I hope the emperor will not lose the big because of small things, and ignore me for the sake of King Xuanwu To the law!"
