With a sad look on his face, Prime Minister Yan could be said to have hit rock bottom.
Murong Li pursed her lips, what a cruel decision Yan Chen made! In the eyes of others, Yan Chen was selfless and killed his relatives for the sake of the country and the country. But in Murong Li's eyes, how cruel a person must be to do this...
You can actually ignore the relationship between father and son...!
Yan Chen's words reached everyone's ears. Emperor Xuanyuan listened to every word without missing a word and raised his eyebrows slightly. After Yan Chen said so much, Emperor Xuanyuan was still doubtful.
After all, after talking for so long, Yan Chen still hasn't come up with any evidence to prove that Yan Chengtong is the enemy of the country.
"this……"
"Report——" A voice interrupted Emperor Xuanyuan's continuation. Emperor Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the palace door. The guard was kneeling at the palace door, holding an arrow in his hand.
"Xuan." The father-in-law beside Emperor Xuanyuan shouted in a high voice.
The guard outside the door heard this and walked in with the feather arrow in his hand. All the officials turned their attention to the guard again.
When the father-in-law saw the arrow in the guard's hand, his eyes flashed and he said angrily: "How dare you bring weapons to the palace privately...!"
Upon hearing the father-in-law's sharp angry voice, the guard knelt down on the ground, spread out his trembling hands, held up the feather arrow in his hand, and said: "Long live the emperor! Someone shot this feather arrow at the entrance of the palace. I
We were incompetent and couldn't catch the person who shot the arrow. There was a letter stuck in the arrow. We didn't dare to open it, so..."
Looking at the feathered arrow, I saw that it was really a letter inserted into the arrowhead of the feathered arrow.
Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, and he stared at the letter on the tip of the sword and thought deeply. He blinked coldly and winked at the father-in-law beside him. The father-in-law nodded and recalled, and walked step by step to the guard kneeling below.
He picked up the feather arrow in the guard's hand, rubbed it in his hand several times, then carefully took off the letter from the tip of the sword, opened the letter, rubbed it with his fingers, and put it to his nose to smell it.
After several confirmations, it was confirmed that it was not poisonous. Only then did the father-in-law dare to present the letter to Emperor Xuanyuan. He picked up the letter and walked up carefully, knelt in front of Emperor Xuanyuan, lowered his head, and presented the letter in his hand to Emperor Xuanyuan.
Looking at the letter in front of him, the cold arc of Emperor Xuanyuan's lips formed a line. He glanced at the letter a few times and then slowly took the letter.
Open the letter and spread it out.
The letter was densely written with a bunch of words. Emperor Xuanyuan pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and he carefully read the contents of the letter word for word.
"Speak boldly, Prime Minister...!"
An angry voice came, Emperor Xuanyuan was furious, and the letter in his hand was crushed into a ball.
With a cold face, anger welled up layer by layer.
With one hand, he threw down the letter that had become a ball in his hand, and the letter rolled in front of Yan Chen.
Yan Chen was startled, fell to the ground, picked up the clumped letters, opened them carefully, flattened the paper, and carefully read every word in the letter.
After reading it, Yan Chen's expression suddenly changed.
This letter is actually full of evidence that Prime Minister Yan committed treason...!
The fists in his hands clenched unconsciously, Yan Chen lowered his head, his emotions were not much disturbed, it seemed that all this had been expected by him.
His emotions were seen in Murong Li's eyes. Murong Li raised her eyebrows and didn't know what was written in the letter.
"Come here, take Prime Minister Yan down and kill him at noon tomorrow...!"
Emperor Xuanyuan's cold and ruthless voice came from the high seat, and the anger on his face was obvious.
As soon as these words came out, guards immediately came in and dragged Prime Minister Yan towards the prison. Prime Minister Yan burst into tears and didn't say a word from the beginning to now.
Prime Minister Yan's mouth was filled with things and he was dragged out of the Jinluan Palace, leaving only whimpering and choking sounds.
Seeing this scene, Murong Li's heart suddenly softened, and she thought of her loving father Murong Feng again. She asked herself, if Murong Feng was to judge the enemy country, would she choose to do the same thing as Yan Chen.
The answer I got from the bottom of my heart is no.
You have to have a small family first before you can have everyone.
Murong Fengtong convicted the enemy country, but she was willing to protect him. She was willing to give up everything and take Murong Feng away to live a common people's life.
No matter what, she couldn't help but send her father to death.
It seems that the Prime Minister was dragged out directly. His whole body was rubbed on the ground, and it was not difficult to see traces of blood outside the palace.
Murong Li looked away from the palace door and turned her gaze towards Yan Chen. Such a man could even send his father to death. It is enough to imagine how cruel and ruthless he is.
Even his father burst into tears, choked with sobs, and was stained with blood. His emotions were not greatly affected.
"My son is guilty...!" Yan Chen, who was kneeling in the Jinluan Hall, kowtowed with a loud voice.
Emperor Xuanyuan calmed down the anger on his face, stood up from the dragon chair, glanced at Yan Chen who was kneeling below, narrowed his eyes coldly, and said: "Chen'er, get up. Just for you, for the sake of our Xuanyuan Kingdom, you will sacrifice your relatives for the sake of justice.
!It’s just a credit!”
Undoubtedly, this sentence pardoned Yan Chen's sins.
In ancient times, if a minister had an affair with an enemy country, he should be punished by the Nine Tribes!
However, this time, Yan Chen's righteousness in killing his relatives made Emperor Xuanyuan happy. Therefore, he not only pardoned Yan Chen's crime, but also made Yan Chen a first-class merit.
"Thank you, Father, for being so generous...!" Yan Chen stood up, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.
Emperor Xuanyuan nodded, sat back on the dragon throne, and looked sharply at the people in the lower row.
After a period of silence, an official boldly stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is now vacant. Should we choose another prime minister?"
After hearing this, the officials below also felt that it was reasonable, and they immediately started discussing privately.
Emperor Xuanyuan touched his chin and felt that what he said was reasonable. The country could not live without a prime minister for a day. But for the time being, he did not have a suitable person to take his place.
"What I love you said makes sense, but at the moment, I don't have a suitable candidate in my mind... I wonder if you, my dear friends, have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Emperor Xuanyuan threw the question back to the officials below.
"this……"
The officials below began to discuss one after another. After about a moment of burning incense, an official stood up, knelt on the ground, and said: "We think that the prince-in-law is just the right person! This is what our Xuanyuan Kingdom needs.
A person who is selfless...!"
As soon as the official said this, the officials below began to agree.
Murong Li couldn't help but frown, and glanced at Yan Chen meaningfully.
Emperor Xuanyuan on the dragon throne closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and began to think deeply. Yan Chen's literary talent has always been good, and with such a spirit of righteousness and annihilation of relatives, he is indeed qualified for the position of prime minister.
