Chapter 158 It’s time to end

Emperor Wen ordered the palace officials to carry Bai Jiuxiao's body down.

"Although the Ninth Prince deceived you, everyone has seen her contribution to the Zhao Dynasty in these years. She suppressed civil strife, defended against foreign enemies, and survived a narrow escape. She read memorials for me, managed political affairs, and worked hard. She has never done anything like this.

Isn’t it something that is detrimental to the country, the country, and the common people?”

The officials were silent.

Anyway, the person is dead.

Emperor Wen added: "She has paid the price for the crime of deceiving the emperor, but her contribution cannot be erased. She is a meritorious official of Zhao and a noble person of the people. Therefore, I have to do two things."

"First, compile the great deeds she did in her life into a book and give it to the people to circulate, so that the people can get close to her and get to know her. She is not unforgivable."

"Second, bury her in all her splendor for the common people to see, and for other countries to see. Our great Zhao monarchs and ministers not only abide by the laws and disciplines, but also have feelings and righteousness. If they are guilty, they will be punished. If they have merit, they will be grateful."

"Do you have any opinions?" Emperor Wen asked everyone in the palace.

All the officials shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Anyway, the person is dead.

What’s the use of doing all these things?

Even if the people know who Bai Jiuxiao is, what's the use?

It's just a conversation in the streets and after dinner. It's just more emotions, more sighs, and more sighs.

When leaving the palace, some officials congratulated Zhu Jin.

"Congratulations to Grand Master Zhu. We have finally waited for this day. The evil woman who held all the power with one hand and acted recklessly has finally found her way."

"Yes, we should indeed say congratulations to Master Zhu. From now on, we will only follow Master Zhu's lead and the future will be bright."

Zhu Jin remained silent.

As he walked on the palace road, he raised his head slightly and looked at the sky above the eaves of the palace. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In fact, if you think about it, what Emperor Wen just said is indeed true.

Because of Bai Jiuxiao, the endangered Zhao was able to break out of the situation surrounded by wolves, making the border countries fearful.

Because of her, in the past three years, the country and the people of Zhao Dynasty will be peaceful and prosperous.

In addition to taking too much power, she was too self-righteous, she didn't take them as courtiers seriously, she acted too wantonly, she was too arrogant, she didn't know the current affairs, and she didn't know how to let go.

There are many shortcomings, which are really annoying.

Forget it, die now, otherwise, the government will always be in her hands, the emperor will be like a puppet, and the country will not be a country.

Now that Emperor Wen can take charge of his own affairs, Bai Jiuxiao's era has come to an end.

The moment they learned the bad news about Bai Jiuxiao, Tong Quan and Lu Chengxi were both in disbelief.

Because they were too worried, the two of them stayed up all night last night, waiting for Bai Jiuxiao to come back.

From dusk to dawn, and even when it was time to go to court, she still didn't come back.

Really worried, Lu Chengxi was about to enter the palace. Tongquan said that he would also come with him. Although unlike Lu Chengxi, he could go in and out of the palace at will, he could wait at the palace gate.

As soon as the two of them left the palace, they met someone from the palace who informed them of the sad news that Bai Jiuxiao had committed suicide by drinking poison.

The two of them were struck by thunder and froze on the spot.

After someone called Lu Chengxi several times, the two of them came back to their senses with pale faces.

The visitor handed Lu Chengxi a letter, and the envelope read: Deputy Envoy Lu, personally signed by Tongquan.

It's Bai Jiuxiao's handwriting.

"The prince gave us a letter." Lu Chengxi couldn't wait to open it.

Tongquan also came forward to take a closer look.
