Chapter 152 Xiao Guogong picks up the corpse and returns to the house
The emperor walked out from behind the desk, raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and patted Jun Lingyun on the shoulder.
"The Xiao family killed your mother, I will not let them go."
Jun Lingyun was startled. Ever since he was a child, his father had never hugged him or had any physical contact with him.
So, is this what it feels like to be touched by your father?
"I ask you now, are you willing to shoulder the responsibility of protecting your home and country?"
The emperor's expression was firm, as if he had returned to the days when he was young and decisive.
"Father, no matter what decision you make, your children and ministers will follow it. You are the king, and if you ask your ministers to die, they must die, and the Xiao family is no exception."
Jun Lingyun was calm as usual.
"good."
The emperor's eyes were slightly red. He had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father to Jun Lingyun, but he was about to put the entire country on his shoulders.
"I will ask them to give you the mother-in-law and die to apologize! But not now, I want you to protect the people of Yunxiao Kingdom. I promise you that the day when the country is stabilized, the Xiao family will be confiscated and exterminated."
"My son, I obey!"
Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. It has only been three years since he returned from the battlefield, and it has only been a month since he was reborn. The Xiao family has been in business for more than twenty years. He wants to eradicate the Xiao family and Jun Hongyan with minimal losses.
, you need to have enough patience.
The emperor nodded happily. Before he abdicated, he would definitely help the prince remove obstacles.
"Come here, deliver the message! The Minister of War betrayed the military plane and assassinated the prince. The crime cannot be forgiven, so he will be executed."
"As a prince, King An indulged his subordinates and acted inappropriately, so he should have been severely punished. However, in the current national crisis, he ordered King An to perform meritorious service, thoroughly investigate the crime of bending the law for personal gain by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and rescue the victims of the disaster in Li City. If the investigation is not carried out, the relief work will be unfavorable.
Crime and punishment."
The emperor's eyes were dark and incomprehensible. Although Jun Hongyan also had his blood flowing through his blood, he was the son of the Xiao family and the grandson of Duke Xiao.
Just as Jun Lingyun guessed, his father asked Jun Hongyan to conduct a thorough investigation of the household department.
If Jun Hongyan wants to protect himself, he must cut off the arm of Hubu. Before dealing with Jun Hongyan, it is also a good way to eliminate the influence of the Xiao family. It is a blessing in disguise.
The emperor issued the third decree:
"Xiao Guogong lifted the ban and assisted King An. In addition, he ordered Xiao Guogong to take the deposed concubine Xiao back to the house."
Jun Lingyun raised his eyes and asked a father to take his deceased daughter back to his home. The father took it seriously and the sword was not old.
Xiao Zhang died, Concubine Xiao also died, and his descendants were cut off. This was really the best punishment for Duke Xiao.
In the prison, Jun Hongyan listened to his father-in-law's announcement and kowtowed excitedly:
"My son, I would like to thank my father for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
He is finally going to see the light of day again, but his father is still reluctant to let him go. He still has a chance, hahaha, he still has a chance.
The Minister of War, who was sentenced to death, suddenly grasped the partition between the two cells.
"Prince An, please help me. You can't just care about your own survival. Everything you do is under your command."
The Secretary of the Ministry of War originally thought that he and King An were a grasshopper on the same rope. As long as King An was fine, he would be fine, but he didn't know that after a few days of calm, it would end like this.
Jun Hongyan looked at the horrified look of the Minister of the Ministry of War with cold eyes, and said impartially to the decree:
"If you don't hurry up and take such a crazy person to execution, what are you waiting for?"
When the Minister of War heard what Jun Hongyan said, he roared like crazy:
"King An! If you cross the river and burn the bridge, the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked. You will not end well! I am really obsessed with following a person like you."
The Minister of War once again reached out to grab the corner of his father-in-law's clothes.
"Eunuch, sir, I want to see the emperor. I want to expose the crimes of Prince An and Duke Xiao. They are the masterminds. I am just following orders."
"Take it away and ask to behead him at noon."
After the father-in-law just said a word, the Minister of War was gagged and dragged out. He could only kick his legs reluctantly and stared at Jun Hongyan.
Jun Hongyan snorted, "They are all useless trash."
"Thank you, father-in-law. I will go into the palace immediately to thank my father."
He was in a good mood and naturally looked kindly to his father-in-law, but the father-in-law refused.
"King An, the emperor has an order, ordering you to set off immediately for Li City without any delay. All matters can be reported in a memorial. You are not allowed to return to the capital unless summoned."
Jun Hongyan frowned, so anxious? That's right. His father should be very worried now.
He was in a good mood, so he didn't care about the last sentence. He was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned. Instead, he was concerned about the situation of his backer, Duke Xiao Guo.
"What about Duke Xiao?"
Although my father-in-law is not enthusiastic, he still answers all questions:
"Xiao Guogong has been lifted from the ban, Prince An can rest assured."
Jun Hongyan was completely relieved now. His father was still angry with him, so he would finish this errand and let his father relieve his anger.
Although the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Household Affairs were dismissed, as long as he does not fail, we can promote suitable candidates in the future.
Jun Hongyan didn't even return to the palace, so he took the guards appointed by the emperor and rode out of the capital, heading straight for Li City.
At this time, Duke Xiao Guogong had just received the emperor's imperial edict. During the period of confinement, he cultivated his moral character. Unknown to him that Concubine Xiao was gone, he laughed wildly.
"Hahaha, I would like to thank the Emperor for your consideration."
So what if his daughter is deposed? As long as Jun Hongyan is still there, as long as his grandson ascends the throne, his daughter will become the queen mother.
The emperor wanted to humiliate him by letting him take back his daughter, and his plan was too good. A momentary humiliation is nothing. Only the man who can bend and stretch is what a man does. The one who laughs in the end is the king.
Xiao Guogong was served by his servants, put on his official uniform, and entered the palace with his head held high. He first went to express his gratitude to the emperor.
"Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding and justice. I will definitely assist King An in dealing with the disaster."
The emperor just looked at Xiao Guogong's performance with cold eyes and felt sick.
"My lord, it's better not to waste time here with me. Go to the cold palace to pick her up earlier so that she doesn't suffer."
"Yes, I will retire."
Xiao Guogong turned around and glanced at Jun Lingyun with disdain. He snorted in his heart, a child with a yellow mouth does not know how high the sky is.
I really thought that by sitting in the position of the prince, I would be able to ascend to the great throne. I was simply wishful thinking. I didn’t know how I would die one day.
Jun Lingyun calmly eradicated Concubine Xiao, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Whose turn would it be next?
Duke Xiao Guo came outside the Leng Palace and stood with his hands behind his back. His face was full of flesh, which made anyone who saw him feel frightened.
"You haven't invited Concubine Xiao out yet!"
"My lord, the emperor has an order for you to go in and pick up someone by yourself."
When the steward said this, she was trembling with fear. Although she was not the one who tortured Concubine Xiao to death, she was still trembling with fear when facing the restored Duke Xiao.
Duke Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the muscles on his face were a little distorted. Emperor, you have really forgotten who helped you stabilize your country and win beauties back then.
As Xiao Guogong walked along the cold corridor, the courtyard door of Xiao Guifei's residence was wide open, as if waiting for his visit.
