Zhou Yu was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you sure?"
He knew that His Highness had always admired Marshal Xiao and several generals of the Xiao family, and had even been reading their records of battles and tactics.
As a soldier, it is impossible not to appreciate such invincible and famous generals who have gone down in history, especially those who know the inside story of those years.
But His Majesty now wants him to forge "evidence" that the Xiao family collaborated with the enemy and treason. Why?
Shangguan Hongye reluctantly looked at the red glow of blood on the horizon, and said hoarsely: "I am sure, because it is something that must be done."
Even now, he still respects Marshal Xiao and several generals of the Xiao family, but...
He couldn't let Ming Lanruo and Cang Qiao use their names to rebel, and he couldn't give them a legitimate reason to rebel!
My father had already killed his brother and usurped the throne by regicide, which had already made his throne unstable.
Otherwise, in order to stabilize the throne, the eunuchs from Dongchang would not have been reused.
If it is now admitted that my father deliberately colluded with the Northern Mongolians and Houjin people and killed the Red Blood Legion and the entire Xiao family, my father will be infamy for thousands of years.
And his new emperor's throne will only be less stable than his father's. Anyone who wants to find a reason can rise up against him!
He has made it this far, even his father has given up, and he will never be defeated so easily.
so......
"This is the only way." Shangguan Hongye closed his eyes tiredly.
The Xiao family and the Red Blood Legion must be held accountable for the crime of "treason and rebellion against the evil minister".
Some things will become a last resort after taking the throne.
He suddenly understood his father's state of mind.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Shangguan Hongye looked at the blazing sun in the sky with dim and complicated eyes, and gradually fell into a trance.
Why on earth did he and she come to this point?
suddenly...
It seemed that there were still countless shouts of killing in his ears, and he saw a woman being held captive on the high wall of the capital, wailing at him at the top of her lungs.
He looked up at her, trying to hear what she was saying, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Lan Ruo..." He murmured softly and closed his eyes tiredly.
"Your Majesty, it's so hot, doctor, doctor, come here quickly!" Zhou Yu watched Shangguan Hongye close his eyes and passed out. He subconsciously touched his forehead and couldn't help but panic.
If something happens to His Majesty, the world will really be in chaos.
"General Zhou, let's go quickly. We need to cool down your Majesty's temperature. He has a severe fever." The imperial doctor hurried over and got into the carriage with the medicine box in his arms.
He looked around and said sternly: "His Majesty must be saved and cured! Otherwise, you will have to be buried with His Majesty! And who dares to reveal even half of His Majesty's condition to the outside world, shake the morale of the army, influence the government and the public, and punish the three tribes and the Yijiu tribe!"
Everyone knelt down in fear and said yes!
...
After seven or eight days
A carriage, escorted by the army, finally arrived at Qinghuo City.
Ming Lanruo stood in front of the city and had been looking forward to it for a long time. When she saw the carriage coming, her face suddenly showed joy, and with Chun He, Jing Ming went to welcome it.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a fat little carrot head came out of it.
As soon as he saw Ming Lanruo, he rushed towards her: "Mother! I miss you so much!"
Ming Lanruo staggered when he hit her and couldn't help laughing: "Ouch, my little carrot is heavy again!"
The next moment, the little guy who was about to act coquettishly in his mother's arms was suddenly lifted up by the clothes behind his back.
"You're so rude, didn't you see that your mother was hit and almost fell?" A cool voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Xi's head.
Xiao Xi turned her head in annoyance and was about to curse: "Who dares to mention your young master like this!"
But when he saw the smiling, deep eyes behind a pair of flame ghost masks, he was stunned.
"Why, did you scare the young master?" the other party said with a joking smile.
