Chapter 866
Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, even though the King of Luoyang didn't say it clearly, he vaguely understood one thing from what the King of Luoyang said, that Wei Zijin supported the King of Luoyang in doing this!

Of course he knew that Wei Zijin was not a woman raised in a deep boudoir, otherwise she would not have chosen to leave him, and later went to the battlefield in person...

But he still didn't expect that she had such ambitions!
Seeing Shen Rui froze in place for a moment, Xiao Jingyao knew that he was indeed shaken, patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded with a light smile: "Brother Shen, this king knows that you are a loyal minister, but is this emperor worth it?" It's not worthy of your allegiance, this king believes that you can make your own decision...Brother Shen, you are a rare talent, the people of Dayin need you, and this king also needs you, I hope you can think about it!"

Having said so much, Xiao Jingyao didn't need to say anything more, so he turned and left.

The moment Xiao Jingyao opened the door, Shen Rui's voice came from behind again, still so resolute and stubborn.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your consideration, and thank you for your two rescue efforts, but even if Mr. Shen dies, he cannot be charged with deceiving the emperor and colluding with rebellious ministers and thieves. Please take back those words!"

Xiao Jingyao seemed to have known for a long time that Shen Rui was not easy to be persuaded by him, and he didn't get angry at all when he heard the words "rebellious officials and thieves". , will change my mind..."

After Xiao Jingyao finished speaking, he pushed the door and left, his figure gradually disappeared from Shen Rui's sight.

The guards outside the house still did not leave, and the maid who had retreated before was worried that Shen Rui would catch a cold, so she quickly closed the door, which also blocked Shen Rui's gaze from looking outside the house.

Shen Rui sat back on the soft bed, sighed heavily, and didn't even notice that the maid called him a few times, his mind was already in a mess.

This is definitely not the result he wanted...

At that time, he and all his ministers went to the emperor to ask the emperor to kill the treacherous ministers so that the kings would retreat. How could he have expected that the king of Luoyang was already dissatisfied with the emperor, and he would not retreat just because the treacherous ministers were punished? !

What the King of Luoyang said is certainly reasonable, and the reason why the King of Luoyang chose to do this is because the emperor has long been motivated to kill, but as long as the emperor is still on the throne for a day, the king of Luoyang's rebellion is treason...

And his heart has long been disappointed with the emperor, but he never thought of betraying the emperor!

One side is loyal to the emperor and the other side is unrewarded benevolence and righteousness, it is difficult to have both!
If I had known that I was facing such a dilemma, maybe I would have died in prison!
Shen Rui couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, and slowly closed his eyes, wishing this was a dream...

However, the sound of the horn in the city woke him up from his dream. Shen Rui bounced up from the soft couch, almost pulling away the servant girl who served him, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Blow the horn again?"

The sky was still not fully lit, the maid lit the candles, put on a warm cloak for Shen Rui, and then explained in a low voice: "This is the soldiers under the prince's command who are ready to attack Qiaocheng!"

Shen Rui frowned slightly: "Who is sticking to Qiaocheng?"

"Wu Bing, who was conferred by the emperor as the Great General of Rebellion!"

Shen Rui fell into silence again after hearing the words.

The young Wu Bing did not have much experience. It was just a coincidence that Xiao Ji, the king of Yiyang, was defeated without a fight. In addition, Xiao Ji underestimated the enemy...
