Chapter 325
"What His Royal Highness said is not unreasonable, but it is hard to guarantee that someone will lure the boss of this book shop with a lot of money to coax the owner of this bookstore into such a frame-up. Isn't His Highness also framed for having an affair with that crazy woman? I ask the emperor to give me a lesson and pay me back." My son, Xiao Shan, is fair." After all, Xiao Zhenhai is Xiao Zhenhai, and at this moment, he can still defend his son plausibly.

However, Feng Yunzheng was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, and said, "Duke Xiao doesn't need to be worried about this king. This king has never had any enmity with your Xiao family, and the Xiao family has made great contributions to the court. They are ministers of great merit. I was shocked to see this disrespectful speech to the emperor. It would be great if Xiao Shan could prove his innocence. The emperor is wise and will not punish him. Duke Xiao might as well produce evidence to prove Xiao Shan’s innocence. Innocent, this king is happy to see it done."

Lian Siyue has experienced tragic accidents in her previous life. She has a cold temper and is extremely calm in her work. She never shows her emotions. It is difficult for others to see her emotions.

The only thing that can be found in the whole plan is the jug of wine that Xiao Shan drank, but the wine has been drunk. It was written by Xiao Shan, no matter how you check it, it was all written by Xiao Shan.

"Your Majesty has learned that the Xiao family is sincerely for the king, and will not hesitate to do anything. This minister is willing to guarantee my son Xiao Shan with the head of the item. He will never be disrespectful..."

"emperor!"

"Enough! Come!" Emperor Zhou Cheng no longer wanted to listen to Xiao Zhenhai's words, and gave an order, "Xiao Shankou uttered wild words and committed the crime of disrespect to me. From now on, he will be sent to the sky prison and his qualification for the provincial examination will be cancelled!"

What?As soon as the emperor said this, the father and son of the Xiao family were shocked. Xiao Shan is talented in literature, knowledgeable about the past and the present. Even better.

But now, the emperor ordered to disqualify him from the rural examination, which meant that Xiao Shan would no longer be able to use his talents, and he would undoubtedly become a useless person who could only play at home.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiao Shan is innocent..." Xiao Shan also always believed that he would succeed in the first prize, and become his father's capable helper like his second brother Xiao He, honoring his ancestors.But now, the emperor wanted to imprison him, and even disqualified him from taking the No. [-] Scholar Examination, so what use would he have in the future?
Lian Siyue finally had a vague smile in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a sense of sarcasm——

This is the so-called "treating the body in the same way", Xiao Zhenhai, let your son pass through the prison I have been in!I even Siyue is a person who will repay every grievance, no matter what you have done to me in the past and present, I will pay back one by one!

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Xiao Lu Xi knelt on the ground and said, "Xiao Shan has always admired the Emperor, how could he be so disrespectful, Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Zhenhai scolded his wife in a low voice.

He knew very well that if he said any more at this moment, he might anger the emperor even more, and it would not be the crime of punishing Xiao Shan alone.Now the only way is to let the emperor imprison Xiao Shan first, calm down the anger, and then think of a way later.

If such an article appeared when Xiao Zhenhai and Xiaohe had just returned home after defeating Daliao, the emperor would not only not pursue it, but would think that someone was jealous of the Xiao family.

However, the current situation is quite different from the past. In the past six months, there have been rumors of the Xiao family army burning, killing and looting, and the most taboo of the emperor, Xiao Zhenhai's meritorious deeds monument, was worshiped by the villagers, and some people accidentally Xin Xin described Xiao Zhenhai in front of the emperor as a man of great achievements——

These things entered Emperor Zhou Cheng's heart bit by bit, gradually arousing his wariness towards Xiao Zhenhai.

Lian Siyue and His Highness the Ninth Highness once predicted that once a bad feeling is planted in the emperor's heart, it will slowly grow, germinate, and swell. Today, it is entirely possible for him to believe that the article was written by Xiao Zhenhai's son.

Any king, no matter how much credit he has made, will not allow him to overshadow the master. Once this happens, the emperor will secretly find ways to suppress it in order to maintain his absolute authority as the emperor.

Coupled with the empress' evasive response when she answered how she learned about Liang Lishu just now, the emperor believed that the empress did not do it alone.

He will never tolerate anyone plotting against him behind his back, nor will he let any courtier's power stand out, the way to be a king is the art of balance.

That's why today I took the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Xiao Zhenhai, and it was also a message to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty - even a great hero like Xiao Zhenhai, who committed a crime, was still severely punished. In this Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was the center of power. There must be no blasphemy.

Emperor Zhou Cheng was not really a confused person, so before making a plan, Lian Siyue put a lot of effort into pondering and guessing his psychology, taking every bit and every bit into consideration.

At this time, the emperor got up and walked away.Taking the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of the Xiao family, Emperor Zhou Cheng suddenly felt a little better.

"Farewell to the emperor!" Xiao Zhenhai softened his body, only to realize that this was the emperor's warning to him.

"Father, father save me..." Xiao Shan was escorted by the guards to go to the prison, he turned his head frequently to ask Xiao Zhenhai for help.

Xiao Shan, oh Xiao Shan, has always been just a sour literati, neither like Xiao Zhenhai who is good at calculation, nor Xiao He's great military exploits, nor like Xiao Hu who is restrained and deep, but has his own talents and does not take others seriously , and ended up being buried without even knowing how he died!

"Shan'er..." Mrs. Xiao loved her son eagerly, got up and chased after her——

"Stop!" Xiao Zhenhai yelled sharply, "Is the Shan'er you want to kill beheaded?"

"..." Mrs. Xiao squatted down, her body went limp, and she collapsed on the ground, her face pale.

"Mother..." Xiao Hu hastily stepped forward to support Mrs. Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, wait for father to make a decision."

Xiao Zhenhai raised his head slowly, and at a glance, he saw Lian Siyue's clear and bright eyes looking at him intently, then turned around and walked out slowly!
Xiao Zhenhai clenched his fists suddenly!At this moment, he was as high-spirited as he was when he returned from a big victory, like a dog that lost his family. Lian Yanqing had a smile on his face——

The emperor had the intention to suppress, Xiao Zhenhai had been arrogant for a long time, but today he finally lost all arrogance.

Changchun Palace.

Empress Duanwen sat weakly on the phoenix chair, as if she had aged a lot in an instant, and there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that were concealed by makeup in the past.

Her desolate eyes looked at this magnificent and empty palace. At this moment, the palace was extremely deserted, and there was no more prosperous scene in the past. She seemed to vaguely see many concubines sitting in front of her, bowing to her respectfully and listening to her words. Teaching, an ethereal and illusory smile slowly appeared on her face.
