Chapter 111 The reason for Xie Yunsheng’s rebirth
Xie Yunsheng's tone was gentle, but the force on his feet became heavier and heavier. The burning pain on the back of his hand stimulated Su Xiang's eyes to become moist.
He gritted his teeth and concentrated on not letting tears fall. Such forbearance allowed him to clearly feel Xie Yunsheng's feet rubbing against his hand bones.
Seeing Su Xiang's whole body twitching in pain, Xie Yunsheng slowly raised his feet, wiped the blood on the soles of Su Xiang's official robes, and "threatened": "Speak when you should speak, and shut your mouth when you dare not. Go up. Do you understand?"
Su Xiang looked at his bloody right hand and replied hoarsely: "I obey your order."
With that said, Su Xiang held her hands, stood up and retreated to the corner of the hall.
Emperor Cheng acquiesced to Xie Yunsheng's lynching in the morning court. No civil and military officials in the court dared to say a word anymore, and they unanimously decided that they could not say anything wrong about Mr. Su.
"Back to business." Emperor Cheng completely ignored everything that had just happened. He looked at Shen Luo and asked, "Zheng Mingdong killed four people. If he is let off like this, it will inevitably make people think that the court's treatment is unfair."
"If you want me to let him go, then you have to give me a reason to let him go." Emperor Cheng put his right hand on the desk in front of him and stroked the auspicious cloud patterns carved on the desk with his fingers. He waited for Shen Lu's answer. .
"Here is the answer." Shen Luo took out the brocade silk he had hidden in his sleeves.
Cao Cheng, who was standing next to Emperor Cheng, immediately stepped forward to take the brocade silk from Shen Luo's hand and presented it to Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng looked at the words written on the brocade and his eyes lit up: "Is it true?"
This person is good at the art of mechanism. If he becomes a craftsman, he can build houses, contribute to the power of the army, and help the people.
"If you have the Tao and practice it, you will become a great person in time!" Shen Luo answered with a hint.
Emperor Cheng knew that what Shen Luo meant was the collection of books sent back by Tianji Pavilion, and he immediately said: "I will leave this person to you."
"If he cannot become the person your Majesty desires, I will never spare his life." Shen Luo assured him, giving him the confidence to become the emperor.
The craftsmen who make weapons may seem inconspicuous, but they are related to people's livelihood, where their soldiers, horses and cavalry can go, and how many times they can win.
"Okay, I'll wait." Emperor Cheng looked at Shen Luo, with a smile on his calm face: "Little girl, can you really grasp my thoughts?"
"Killing can only be done with a nod of the head. It would be great if you can be punished and serve meritoriously. I only think about my family, country and society." Shen Luo replied in a deep voice, with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Shen Luo's serious look made Emperor Cheng chuckle softly, and then said: "Okay, you have the final say."
This sentence was like thunder on the ground. Everyone was at a loss and looked at each other: What do you mean by your Majesty's words?
Your Majesty has been decisive in killing throughout his life. He has experienced countless battles, big and small, and has acted arbitrarily. Except for the Queen and His Royal Highness, no one has ever been able to change His Majesty's attention.
Today, His Majesty actually said that Mr. Shen has the final say!
"Shen Luo, come with me." After saying this, Emperor Cheng turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Li Ao and others were full of doubts, not understanding what His Majesty meant by taking Shen Luo to the inner hall. Eunuch Cao smiled and urged Shen Luo: "Master Shen, hurry up, His Majesty is waiting for you."
"Yes." Shen Luo came to Eunuch Cao with doubts.
Xie Yunsheng followed and was about to step into the inner hall, but Eunuch Cao stopped him and said: "Your Highness, please let Lord Shen and Your Majesty stay alone for a while!"
"Your Majesty has been waiting for Master Shen since last night."
Cao Chengxing said goodbye, then caught up with Shen Luo and said softly: "Master Shen, this old slave will lead the way for you."
Li Ao looked shocked, as did Su Xiang and others: As His Majesty's servant, Eunuch Cao, how could he be so respectful to Shen Luo?
Seeing this, Xie Yunsheng abandoned everyone and stepped into the inner hall. The young eunuch on the side quietly stepped aside, as if he didn't see anything.
"Prime Minister, do you know what is going on?" Jing Tingyi, the Minister of Punishment, looked at Li Ao in front of him and asked in confusion.
Li Ao smiled and said nothing, enigmatic: It seems that the East Palace is really going to have a crown princess!
Soon, Li Ao suppressed his smile, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Tai'an Palace
Emperor Cheng sat on the dragon chair and looked at Shen Luo. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it: It's great to have someone who understands him so well as an official in the court!
I just don’t know when she will become the Crown Princess?
Seeing that Emperor Cheng had not spoken, Eunuch Cao said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Stand down. I have something to say to Shen Luo alone." Emperor Cheng waved his hand and asked the others to stand down.
In a moment, only Shen Luo, Emperor Cheng and Eunuch Cao were left in Tai'an Palace.
Emperor Cheng stood up and came to Shen Luo and asked, "Did Zizhan give you a jade pendant?"
Shen Luo silently took out the jade pendant from his waist, held it in both hands and presented it to Emperor Cheng: "Is this it?"
Emperor Cheng picked up the jade pendant in Shen Luo's hand and replied: "Yes, this is it!"
Does Your Majesty want to take the jade pendant back?
This was something she had dreamed of, but the moment Emperor Cheng took it away from her, Shen Luo felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if she was reluctant to part with it!
Emperor Cheng looked at the jade pendant, and then solemnly handed it back to Shen Luo: "This is not a simple jade pendant. If Zizhan gives it to you, you must keep it."
"Why?" Shen Luo pretended not to know that this jade pendant was carved by His Majesty himself.
Emperor Cheng looked at Shen Luo and replied softly: "This piece of jade was given to me by Zizhan's master, and the pattern on the jade pendant was carved by me myself."
"A piece of jade was born in the realm of the red pole of heaven and earth. This jade is hidden deep under a thousand feet of black ice. It has a radius of ten miles but is as warm as spring. It is the size of an egg. It was carved by the emperor into a jade dragon pattern. It can connect the two poles of yin and yang and change the sky and life."
Emperor Cheng looked at Shen Luo, reminded him softly, and entrusted him softly: "Zizhan handing you the jade pendant is tantamount to entrusting everything to you. You can't let him down!"
"Your Majesty, you'd better take it back! I can't afford it!" Shen Luo didn't expect that this jade pendant had such a great origin, and suddenly felt that it was a hot potato in his hands.
"This stubbornness is exactly the same as Zizhan's." Emperor Cheng sighed helplessly and sat down slowly.
Every word and every word, carefully crafted, bound the two of them to a rope.
Shen Luo was sharp-eyed and attentive, so he didn't know His Majesty's intention. He immediately knelt down and asked for an order: "Your Majesty, I have come from the world to become an official. I have many enemies and I am afraid that the Crown Prince will be implicated."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Emperor Cheng pretended to be angry and asked back: "You are an important official of the imperial court. Protecting you is the royal family and it is the responsibility of the imperial court. After the prince marries you, you will be the crown prince. Who dares to beat you at the risk of his life?" idea?"
"Your Majesty, the world is in turmoil and the court is unstable. As a minister, how can you discuss the personal affairs of your children?" Shen Luo said what he was thinking.
The love between children will only kill the fighting spirit!
She still has important things to do, so how can she be held back?
Emperor Cheng stretched out his hand to take the memorial, stood up and walked down the steps to Shen Luo: "The ancient sage said: Cultivate your moral character, harmonize your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. The love of children cannot delay national affairs!"
Shen Luo was stunned and immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess must choose a well-matched match. There is no mother clan strength behind the ministers who can help His Highness consolidate the court and balance the forces of all parties."
Emperor Cheng looked at Shen Luo, who was half a head shorter than himself, and asked: "As a prince, if he needs to use the family power behind a woman to stabilize the court, then what qualifications does he have to be the crown prince of a country?"
"You are the first person to enter the court from the rivers and lakes. You are the only official of the third rank in the Jiang Kingdom who can participate in national military affairs. The local army even worships you. You alone can be compared with thousands of troops, why should you be humble?"
"If you are not qualified to be the Crown Princess, then the Crown Prince will be alone!"
When she came, Shen Luo thought of a lot of reasons for returning the jade pendant, but before she could say anything, Emperor Cheng had already rejected them all. Now standing in front of Emperor Cheng, she couldn't say a word.
Emperor Cheng looked at the silent Shen Luo, and felt a trace of confusion in his heart. Shen Luo should be a little moved after what he said. Why was there no movement for a while? So he asked tentatively: "Is it possible that you Don’t you look down on the prince?”
Shen Luo immediately objected: "Of course not. Your Majesty has been on war for many years. If His Highness the Crown Prince had not overseen the country well and relaxed it appropriately, the Jiang State would have been in financial crisis. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have great admiration for it. The same goes for my ministers."
She can't frame others just to reject them!
Emperor Cheng was very satisfied with her answer, and then said: "Then you think the prince is not good-looking?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heavenly appearance and a character that is unparalleled in the world. Apart from Your Majesty, I have never seen anyone who can surpass His Royal Highness the Prince's demeanor." Shen Luo immediately replied.
Xie Yunsheng's facial features are exquisite and delicate, and her eyes are so captivating that people can't take their eyes away from her. Her eyes and smile are as breathtaking as the moonlight. She is as cool as a jade and has a scholarly elegance that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
If he is not good-looking, no one in the world can be called good-looking!
