After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

Except for Li Weiyan who was beside Wen Chu, no one knew that the two of them had left. But when Li Weiyan saw that it was Song Yusheng who took her away, he did not stop him.

Wen Chu didn't understand where Song Yusheng wanted to take her.

After leaving the Meridian Gate, she waved his hand away and asked, "Why did you pull me out here?"

Song Yusheng was stunned for a moment when she waved him away, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "One or two people dare not tell the truth, so what about three or four?"

Wen Chu was not stupid either, and she quickly understood what Song Yusheng meant. A little light seemed to ignite in her eyes, and she asked, "He can kill one or two people, but can he kill everyone in the world?"

"Yes, is it possible to kill all the people in the world?" Song Yusheng continued.

It is human nature to be afraid of being sought for revenge. Those people are afraid of being retaliated by He Hong afterwards, so naturally they dare not tell the truth anymore. But if a group of people gather together, will they still be afraid?

It is said that one cannot blame everyone for his crimes. Even if He Hong wanted to seek revenge, who could he seek revenge on? Could he seek revenge on everyone in the world?

He dared to look for it, and those people were no longer afraid.

Wen Chu no longer cared about the previous dispute between the two of them, and immediately started looking for someone.

The Meridian Gate.

He Hong was still questioning Huang Jian. He said, "They all said that they didn't mix sand with the mud. So what? You are the only one who can see the mud, can you only see and touch it? God has eyes. Even if he is slandering someone and defaming their innocence, he won't do this like you!"

Those who told lies lowered their heads so low that they couldn't even raise them up.

When the people above them fight, the only ones who will die are the people below them.

Huang Jian knew that they were telling lies and it was not their fault. If they dared to tell the truth, they would have no way to survive.

He pointed at He Hong and said, "How dare you, a person like you, say that the heaven has eyes? How dare you, so shamelessly, say that the heaven has eyes! If the heaven really has eyes, how could you still be alive today? Why not send down a thunderbolt to strike you!"

He Hong snorted coldly, "You are so arrogant. You are still stubborn even now. You want witnesses but there are none. You also want physical evidence but there is none. You dare to say that this is the case based on your own words. Are there any laws and rules in this world?"

As He Hong was speaking, he knelt down before Emperor Linghui again, crying out in sorrow, "Your Majesty, as a subject, I dare not have any selfish thoughts, but I have been slandered like this by others. How can I bear it? How can I bear it? Please, Your Majesty, order this man to be killed. Otherwise, will there be justice and law in the future?"

The Empress Dowager also spoke up at the right time and said, "Emperor, this man is just a clown. If he is allowed to live, it will really harm people."

"Really? But why do I feel that what he said is true? Although I am a little older, you have cut off my ears and eyes. Do you really think that I have become a blind and deaf person? You want to kill him, why do you want to kill him?" Emperor Linghui laughed coldly, asking himself and answering: "After all, no one who offends the queen mother can live well. My son dares to ask, is this world my world or the queen mother's world."

Emperor Linghui didn't even think that the Empress Dowager would be able to answer. After all, the answer was obvious. So what if she didn't admit it?

"Everyone says that I am the son of God, and that I am the master of the world. But since I ascended the throne, has my mother denied that I am the master? Have you ever respected me as the master? But what happened in the past is in the past, and I am too lazy to argue with you anymore. But I am really curious, after I am gone, can my eldest brother still ascend to my position from your hands? Will you respect him as the new emperor?"

Emperor Linghui's voice had a hint of harshness. He had never spoken so harshly in front of the Empress Dowager.

It is very difficult for a person who has been kneeling for a long time to stand up again. When the Grand Tutor died, he was unable to stand up. But today, perhaps he knew that if he continued like this, no one would be able to protect him.

He knew that if he really died, there would be a palace coup, and He Hong, the Queen Mother and others would not watch the Crown Prince ascend to the throne. If Li Weiyan could not win, then Wen Chu would not be able to survive either.

This is how party struggles work: when one party rises, all others fall.

Especially when someone like He Hong comes to power, it is not only a disaster for Li Weiyan and others, but also a disaster for Dazhao.

Emperor Linghui has been stupid and cowardly all his life. Is he going to continue to be a coward at a time like this?

Why, the Taifu can die, Huang Jian can die, but he can't die.

They can compete, but he can't? !

He must fight today, he must fight with all his might, he must fight with his life at risk.

The Empress Dowager finally understood what was going on. Well, today she was forcing them to risk their lives, right?

From what Emperor Linghui said, it seems like we have to fight for it, right?

The sunlight from the sky made the Empress Dowager's gold jewelry reflect a dazzling light. Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a malicious meaning.

She said, "My son, how could you think of your mother like this? How could you speak so badly of her? You ascended the throne at the age of nine. If your mother and your best friend were no longer by your side, what would you do? You were very obedient before, how come you became like this after meeting Wen Lilian? You were deceived by him, you know that! You were deceived by him! Now Huang Jian has appeared, and they are playing you around like this."

Before the Empress Dowager finished her words, she asked Emperor Linghui to interrupt her. He burst into laughter and looked at the Empress Dowager with a look of sarcasm, "You still say that, still say that! Just lie to me, but please, please don't let yourself be fooled. I'm not the child I was back then. Why are you trying to fool me with these words? What are you trying to do to fool me! I'm your child, he's your nephew, why are you doing this to me!"

How can an emperor, roaring like this, maintain his composure in front of so many people?

If Emperor Linghui asked this question just now, he wanted to win her heart, but now, he really wanted to know why.

why?
Why should we treat him like this?

When the Empress Dowager saw him like this, she thought of the late emperor.

Even if Emperor Linghui is her child, so what? He is also the child of the late emperor.

The late emperor coveted the power of the He family and married her as his queen, and his only intention towards her was to use her and guard against her.

Even when she was dying, she left a last word that the He family must not be allowed to survive. He had been on guard against her all his life, and he was still on guard against her until his death.

The Empress Dowager understood that love and other things were all false. In this palace, only power was eternal.

Since she couldn't be the emperor, she would just undermine the emperor.

So what if he is her child? He was the young emperor first, and then her child.

The Empress Dowager had already developed a heart of stone, and even when she saw Emperor Linghui was so heartbroken, she remained unmoved.

If she was soft-hearted, she would never have reached this point.

She said, "My son, please don't try to offend me. I treat you the same way as I treat them."

Emperor Linghui laughed at himself. He actually wanted to hear something else from her.

He stopped looking at the Empress Dowager and just pointed at Huang Jian and said to them, "Nothing happened here today. Huang Jian, get up, go, and leave."

Huang Jian did not move, and the Empress Dowager scolded him, "Why are you walking? Thirty strokes of the cane!"

She turned her head to look at Han Qi standing aside and said sternly, "Han Qi, arrest him!"

Han Qi had been following them all along. When he saw Huang Jian's behavior today, he finally understood what he meant by yesterday's words. He said yesterday that he would die, but he really thought so?!

Han Qi was named by the Queen Mother and had to move. Even though he felt reluctant, he still walked towards Huang Jian.

However, after taking a few steps, Emperor Linghui called him to stop. He scolded him, "You used to have two masters, pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, and I didn't care at all. But now, if you dare to listen to them again, I will kill you!"

After hearing what Emperor Linghui said, Han Qi finally paused and turned to look at the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother said, "If you don't take him down, you will die for him!"

Han Qi is really in a dilemma. With the mother and son fighting each other, he will be in trouble no matter who he listens to.

Before he could make a decision, Huang Jian spoke first.

"Since I struck this drum, I have never thought about living. Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything for me. After my husband's death, I have not lived a happy life for so many years, but even if I die today, I will be happy. But I, Huang Qingwei, swear to the heavens with my life that if I have wronged you, He Hong, in all the corruption and trafficking, then I will be condemned to eternal damnation and reincarnation after my death! Your Majesty, please investigate, and continue to investigate."

"My determination is as firm as a rock or a sharp blade. I will not change even if the mountains are covered with snow or the rivers dry up!"

"This time, the zither and the harp sounded, and Huang Qing played for the king first!"

He must die, he must die today. If he doesn't die, Emperor Linghui will be in trouble, and he will definitely become a villain who seeks fame. Then Huang Ruotang's life will eventually be ruined by him as a father.

He can only be like this, only like this.

There is no other way.

If he died now, the incident would be the biggest of all. Even if the He family tried to argue or try to escape, it would be hard to say what would happen.

After Huang Jian finished speaking, before anyone could react, he had already crashed into the vermilion wall on the other side of the Meridian Gate.

Blood spurted out and everyone was frightened by his sudden action. When they came to their senses, Huang Jian had already fallen to the ground.

died
Still dead
There was a big bloody hole on Huang Jian's forehead, and his face was stained red with blood, like a demon from hell. Before he died, his eyes were wide open, and after he died, he fell to the ground, staring straight at the blazing sun in the sky.

His life was destined when he met Wen Lilian.

He Hong once asked him, since the Grand Tutor already had everything, why did he still want to push for new policies? Was it to gain fame?

No, he has everything, but he still shows pity to others.
The purpose of holding power is not to do evil or pursue pleasure, but to protect the people.

Because, life is worth it.

It is not worth it for one or two people, but it is worth it for all living beings.

Emperor Linghui stared at the dead Huang Jian, and was suddenly pulled back to the day when his tutor died.

How can one live in this world and be greedy for life?

Emperor Linghui couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood from his throat. Over the past twenty years, his heart had been broken into pieces, but there had never been a moment as clear as it was now.

At this moment, he finally understood from Huang Jian's death the lesson that his master had taught him with his life.

Li Weiyan was shocked by his sudden vomiting of blood and hurriedly helped him up.

He said anxiously: "Father!"

Emperor Linghui brushed him away and wiped the blood from his mouth. He was still clear-headed and smiled at the Empress Dowager and the others. He said, "Why, are you satisfied, mother? His death should finally satisfy you, right?"

After Emperor Linghui finished speaking, Wen Chu and Song Yusheng had already come running over with their men. They went to the streets and alleys and called a bunch of people over. When those people heard that it was Huang Jian who had beaten the drum to report their grievances, and that they could speak out about their grievances and that Song Yusheng was here to take charge of the matter for them, a lot of people came all of a sudden. Not only that, those people had been dissatisfied with the government for a long time, and when they heard that there was a place today for them to complain in a group, they didn't think twice and called their relatives and neighbors in the left and right alleys.

In a short time, hundreds of people came.

With so many people, they were not afraid of being retaliated against afterwards. Besides, there was Song Yusheng, who was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, so they could trust him.

Wen Chu was afraid that he would be too late, so he didn't dare to delay along the way. Unfortunately, he was still too late. When he came back, he was already dead on the ground.

Wen Chu couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted.

When the people saw that Huang Jian had died, they couldn't help but sob.

Song Yusheng stepped forward, took off his outer robe, and covered Huang Jian with it.

After he stood up, he looked at the people and said, "You saw it. He died today to accuse those who were corrupt behind the scenes. It was those people who made you drink mud porridge. If you have any suffering or injustice, please tell us."

After Song Yusheng finished speaking, someone finally spoke.

"The drought has been going on for more than a month, and the crops have all rotted. With so much taxation every year, the stored grain can only last for a few days. It's called disaster relief food, but the porridge has only a few grains of rice. What kind of porridge is it? We dare not say anything. It's useless to tell anyone. What else can it do except to get a beating? We are already hungry and have no strength left. If we get beaten again, we will not be able to survive!"

"My child, who was only that young, died from drinking this muddy porridge. My wife worked so hard to carry the baby for ten months and now she is gone! She starved to death! It happened to be such a disaster year, and my family has been destroyed!"

Many people talked about these things at once, and had to swallow all the bitterness and pain they had. Now they finally had the chance to speak out. With so many big shots here, there would always be someone to help them.

Their quarrels gave He Hong a headache. He shouted, "What are you quarreling about? Can't you see the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are here? Are there any rules?"

As soon as his voice came out, everyone around him fell silent.

Song Yusheng looked at He Hong, then bowed to Emperor Linghui and said, "Your Majesty, the treacherous ministers have now jumped out. He Hong is one, and the Minister of Revenue Lin Luo is also one."

When He Hong saw Song Yusheng pointing the finger at him, he was shocked.

"You are using foul language and slandering me! Well, I have finally understood that you are in the same group with Huang Jian. You all want to harm me!"

Song Yusheng ignored him and said, "To know whether this is slander or not, please ask the emperor to call the Minister of Revenue to come and we can face each other in court."

When Emperor Linghui heard what Song Yusheng said, he knew that he had a plan in mind, otherwise, he would not have come forward so easily.

He said coldly: "Go, call Lin Luo over."

When Lin Luo arrived and saw this situation, he secretly thought that it was not good. Now it seems that the matter has finally been exposed! This is a capital crime with the property confiscated and the family exterminated. What should he do?

Emperor Linghui asked him, "I want to ask you, the relief grain approved by the cabinet and me is tens of thousands of stones. Why, why do they have to drink mud porridge?"

Lin Luo immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Who, who is it? It's all nonsense!"

The people kneeling below were all unhappy and shouted one after another: "We are not talking nonsense! We are not talking nonsense! It's just porridge mixed with mud!"

Lin Luo defended himself: "No, no, I get it. Maybe you guys disliked the small amount of porridge, so you deliberately framed me!"

Song Yusheng said, "Don't try to quibble, Minister Lin. I also saw Ni Zhou, and it is indeed true. Could it be that the Minister thinks Qi'an is also lying to them?"

Lin Luo was still stubborn, "Why can't you tell a lie?"

Song Yusheng smiled and held up three fingers to swear. He said, "Okay, then I will swear on my grandfather's reputation that what I said is true. Is that ok?"

Song Yusheng had been disgusted by his grandfather all his life, but now he swore an oath against him without any hesitation.

But in the eyes of others, they just thought that since Song Yusheng had sworn by his grandfather, his words must be true.

Emperor Linghui finally spoke up. He asked, "This matter was originally given to your Ministry of Revenue to handle, so can you tell me how it became mud porridge?"

Lin Luo had no idea that this matter would be exposed. One by one, they both wanted to die. If they wanted to die, it would be fine. If they didn't want to die, how could they fight? Why didn't they kill him earlier? Why did they let him die after beating the drum of denunciation? Isn't it obvious that they want to drag them down with them?

Lin Luo glanced at He Hong, but He Hong was already in trouble, so he had no time to care about him. He just pretended not to see him and turned his head to look away.

Lin Luo understood what He Hong meant. He could only save himself now. He said, "Something must have gone wrong with my subordinates. Your Majesty, let me go back and check it out."

Song Yusheng said: "If something happened to his subordinates, then it was the Ministry of Revenue that had something wrong. If something happened to the Ministry of Revenue, how can we say that it has nothing to do with the Minister of Revenue? Minister Lin is at least guilty of dereliction of duty. As for the crime of embezzlement, it will take time to investigate."

Emperor Linghui said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. He Hong, I want to ask you about the sale of children."

Before he could finish, He Hong knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

He Hong's voice was so loud that people who didn't know him would really think he had suffered a great injustice.

But before he started crying for long, Song Yusheng said, "Master He is not wronged in this matter."

Song Yusheng just clapped his hands, and a family of three came over from a distance.

It was Qi Mo’s family.

Qi Mo cannot see the sun because of his vitiligo. Today the sun is shining brightly, so he wears a veil with circles on his head and holds an umbrella.

The three of them walked in front of Emperor Linghui, and Song Yusheng pointed at Qi Mo and said, "This man is the young man who was accused of being an assassin by the palm print in Kunning Palace last time."

"The seal master said he was an assassin, but when I went back to check, I found that he was not an assassin at all. He was clearly Dou E."

Song Yusheng's words were light and gentle, floating into the ears of everyone present.

Li Weiyan asked from the side: "Oh? Dou E? What do you mean?"

Song Yusheng picked up Li Weiyan's words and continued, "He is not originally from Kyoto, but why did he appear in the palace? I'm afraid only Lord He knows this."

He Hong was impressed by Qi Mo. He had seen him once at the human trafficker's place and was attracted to him. Unfortunately, he was not interested in men. Fang Xiu took a liking to him and asked him to take him back to the palace. Therefore, even though he could not see Qi Mo's appearance, it was not difficult to guess who he was from the fact that he was wearing a hood and holding an umbrella, and from his figure.

He heard Song Yusheng's question and argued, "I know, how do I know? I finally see clearly that you all want to harm me today!" "Isn't it because you have done too many evil things that others have the opportunity to accuse you?!"

Qi Chen, who was beside Qi Mo, could no longer tolerate He Hong's hypocritical face. It was him who did this dirty business, which made his son suffer such bad luck! If it weren't for him, how could their family end up like this.

He actually dares to say such high-sounding words now.

When He Hong saw Qi Chen jumping out, he jumped up and down again, "What does this have to do with you?!"

"Your people kidnapped my child and nearly destroyed my family. I ask you, why is it none of my business? If it weren't for you, would Xiao Mo have suffered such harm?!"

As he said this, he knelt on the ground again and accused Emperor Linghui of their evil deeds.

"Your Majesty, we are well aware that our household registration is no longer here, so we are not from Kyoto. As for why we came here, it is all because of these incompetent officials. They also protect each other. Even if I go to report the case, it is useless! How many people have they harmed? In this world, with people like this, it is not the human world, it is purgatory, Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Emperor Linghui looked at He Hong with sinister eyes and said, "You still dare not admit it? The people have reported it to me, and you still refuse to admit it! Do you think I am dead if I don't care about you?"

Seeing that He Hong still wanted to argue, Song Yusheng looked back at Chunfeng who was following him. Chunfeng understood what Song Yusheng meant and immediately brought more people. These people were about twelve years old. Not only He Hong knew them, but Han Qi also knew them.

They were all young men and women from the farm where He Hong used to live.

That day, Song Yusheng followed the path where Han Qi had thrown the bodies and found the place where He Hong had moved to nearby. He took advantage of He Hong's inattention today and dug up his past, rescued all the people inside, and brought them here.

Because Song Yusheng has been investigating this matter recently, He Hong no longer dares to buy people. There are not many children left here, only about ten. Even though everyone has a bitter look on their face, it can be seen that they all have outstanding looks.

When He Hong saw these people, he was completely dumbfounded.

Where did Song Yusheng find it? !

Song Yusheng continued to ask, "Sir He should know these people very well. I found them from the farm in the south of the city. I have checked and found that the property there is yours, Sir He. The evidence is as strong as a mountain. Sir He still doesn't admit it?"

When Emperor Linghui saw these boys and girls and heard what Qi Chen said, how could he not understand what He Hong was doing next?

He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he strode up to He Hong and kicked him hard, "Beast!"

He Hong knew that it would be difficult for him to argue now.

Song Yusheng had thrown out all the crimes he had committed, so what was the point of him trying to argue?

He Hong knelt before the Empress Dowager, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and cried, "Aunt, aunt, they are talking nonsense, please save me! Please save me!"

Song Yusheng still refused to let it go, and brought up the case of the Grand Tutor's corruption. He said, "Oh, that's right. The case of the Grand Tutor's bribery should be overturned. The current Minister of War has already admitted that you bribed him to frame him. He remembers the account details clearly. Following the bank's batch number, it is true that bribery was done. And the so-called Grand Tutor's embezzlement of military pay was all a joint frame-up by you, wasn't it?"

It was the Grand Tutor again, and the Grand Tutor was mentioned again. He Hong didn't care about these things now. He stood up and ran to Song Yusheng, questioning: "Okay, you have planned this a long time ago, right? Have you been waiting for this day? You have prepared everything, right?!"

Song Yusheng took a step back in disgust, his eyes full of sarcasm, "Even if you are cut into pieces now, it won't be unfair."

When the people heard this, they all shouted, "Your Majesty, please punish the corrupt officials and cut them into pieces!"

Everyone echoed, "Yes! Cut him into pieces!"

The sun was very bright in the sky, but He Hong felt as if he was falling into an icy cave. His last hope could only be placed on the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Linghui looked at the Empress Dowager and asked, "Tell me, mother, everyone in the world wants me to kill He Hong. What should I do?"

The Empress Dowager stared at Emperor Linghui and was reluctant to speak. The mother and son just confronted each other like this.

Suddenly, it seemed as if snow was falling from somewhere. Wen Chu stretched out his palm and saw that there seemed to be a snowflake on it, and many snowflakes were falling intermittently.

I don't know who started shouting first.

“Snow, it’s snowing!!”

The sound exploded the crowd like thunder.

Wen Chu looked up and could see with his own eyes that snowflakes were actually falling intermittently from the sky.

It snowed in such weather.
The injustice was redressed.

Twenty years of injustice were finally spoken out at this moment.

Wen Chu looked at Huang Jian's body and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
It’s a pity that he didn’t see it.

The sky has spoken, what else can the Empress Dowager do?

She finally gave up and said, "I'm tired."

He left without looking back.

He Hong looked at the Empress Dowager's back as she left. His last hope was shattered. He Hong was unwilling to accept this and asked loudly, "Why did you convict me so easily?"

Emperor Linghui looked at him and said coldly, "But you also easily convicted the teacher in the first place. How dare you say 'easy' now?"

Emperor Linghui was too lazy to look at him, and turned to Song Yusheng and said, "The crime He Hong committed is worthy of extermination of his family. You should clarify all his crimes. If the people in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College have any objections, just let them come to me."

"After all, the world's infamy has piled up like a mountain, so why should we care about their one or two words?"

As soon as Emperor Linghui announced He Hong's order, the people began to cry out, "Long live the emperor! The emperor is wise! Long live the emperor! The emperor is wise!"

The heavy snow from the sky fell all over Emperor Linghui's head. He raised his head and looked at the falling snow, but a tear of blood oozed out of his eyes without him noticing at some point.

He was still so useless. Even when he fought to the end, he still relied on others.

Emperor Linghui's tears of blood dripped onto the ground and mixed into the snow and water on the ground. He then said to everyone, "I ask you, do you know who Huang Jian died for today?"

"I know! We will never forget Mr. Huang's kindness!"

Nowadays, who would still say that Huang Jian is a villain who is seeking fame?

Even if they had never seen him shouting at the top of his lungs, they should have known that he had struck the drum for the imperial hearing and crashed into death in front of the Meridian Gate. Who would go to such lengths just to gain a false reputation? If he had gone to such lengths just to gain a false reputation, then that was acceptable.

Since then, He Hong's imprisonment and Huang Jian's death have completely made him the signature of the Huang family. Emperor Linghui will record him in the history books and make him famous. He will put him and his teacher together so that they can be loved by the world.

He wanted to give them everything he couldn't get.

He wanted to give it all to them.

Emperor Linghui wiped his eyes and found that blood was flowing from them. He smiled indifferently and continued, "Huang Jian has made meritorious contributions in reporting the case, and he will be posthumously named Marquis Yongyi. I remember that he has no legitimate son, only one daughter, so his daughter will be named Princess Yongning. Anyone present here has any objection to this?"

He was asking the people present when he spoke, but in reality he was only asking Fang Xiu.

But no matter how unwilling Fang Xiu was, what could he do? Under such circumstances, if he dared to say "no", he would immediately be labeled as a member of He Hong's party.

Now that He Hong is in trouble, he is now in a difficult situation and cannot save himself. How can he bring bad luck to him at this time?

But he didn't want to offend Emperor Linghui, but Emperor Linghui didn't intend to let him go. He smiled and said, "Daban, do you want to confess what you did yourself, or ask the Dali Temple to investigate it bit by bit?"

Fang Xiu bowed his head and said, "What have I done wrong?"

Before Fang Xiu could finish his words, he asked someone to interrupt him. Qi Ping had already cursed him, "You old immortal eunuch, how dare you say such high-sounding words? People like you want to be gods, why don't you just die? ! ! People like you, why don't you just die!"

If Qi Chen hadn't stopped her, Qi Ping would have wanted to eat Fang Xiu alive.

She was such a gentle person in normal times, but after knowing what her son had gone through, she could no longer hold back and started cursing, becoming more than a village woman.

Fang Xiu looked at the insane Qi Ping, who was obviously not reacting. In his life, he had been a eunuch second only to the emperor, but he had never been called a "eunuch" like that. His eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at Qi Ping and kept saying "you you you" for a long time. But the last words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

But when Fang Xiu was so angry that he couldn't speak, Han Qi had already knelt down and kowtowed to confess his guilt. He slammed his head heavily to the ground, and when he raised his head, blood was even oozing from his forehead.

He said, "I also have a crime to admit!"

Han Qi knew about it and was inseparable from the relationship. For so many years, Emperor Linghui was not unaware that he was hanging out with Fang Xiu and the others, but he just turned a blind eye to it. Now that something was wrong with them, how could he escape?
The most taboo thing in the deep palace is people like him who pretend to obey but actually disobey, and who have two masters. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, he will not have a good ending.

But now that things have come to this, Korean companies have accepted this outcome.
At least the sky was clear at last.

Fang Xiu was already choking on his breath, and when he heard Han Qi's words, he cursed, "Why the hell are you meddling in this again!"

The roof was leaking all night, and one scandal was exposed. How could other things or people be hidden? Fang Xiu wanted to hide, but how could he hide?

The evil deeds were exposed, bad news followed one after another, and the September snow in Kyoto seemed to have finally washed away the filth beneath the imperial city.
Kyoto is finally going to see the light.

Emperor Linghui raised his hand and handed them all to Song Yusheng. After dealing with this matter, Emperor Linghui could no longer hold on and almost fell headfirst into the snow.

At the end of his sight were the anxious gazes of the crowd, and his daughter was the first to run towards him.

"Father, please don't scare me. Please don't scare me!!"

Emperor Linghui looked normal just now, but his body was in such a poor condition and tears and blood were flowing from his eyes. How could he be okay?

Just now, he was just holding on.

Wen Chu held up Emperor Linghui's body, her tears falling like heavy snow that seemed to drown him.

Tears fell on Emperor Linghui's face. He suppressed the pain and reached out to wipe Wen Chu's tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Why are you crying? Now that I've reached the point where I'm living like this, it would be best if I died. Just die. Child, don't cry for me."

Don't cry for him anymore. He made her suffer for so many years. He wants her to be happy.

If possible, he would protect him forever.

But his health is so bad, so bad that it is difficult for him to hold on until now.

Wen Chu said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had come back earlier, if I had come back earlier..."

If she had come back earlier, would he not have taken those crappy pills, and would he have lived a long and healthy life?

It's all her fault. It's all her fault.
She never expected that everyone was still talking and laughing in the morning, why did it become like this in the blink of an eye? It was obvious that everything was going to be fine, why?

Emperor Linghui was still laughing. She said, "Why should I blame you, child? I have lived like this for my whole life. Enough, really enough. At least, you are back, right? The injustice of the Grand Tutor can finally be spoken out. How long has it been covered up in the past?"

Everyone knew that the Taifu was wronged, but as long as He Hong was not removed, who could go beyond his authority and say that the Taifu was innocent?

The snow in the sky floated into Emperor Linghui's cloudy eyes. At this moment, his mind was a little distracted.

Emperor Linghui stopped looking at Wen Chu. He finally turned his head to look at Li Weiyan who was waiting on the side.

A little more blood flowed out of his throat and seeped out from the corners of his mouth.

"Elder brother."

"My son is here."

Li Weiyan thought that when a man is about to die, his words are good.

He should have said something nice.

Emperor Linghui said, "You swear that you will protect your sister in the next life, the next life, and eternity."

When Li Weiyan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

He often thought, how great it would have been if he had been the one to die during the Prince Li Rebellion that year.

He felt Emperor Linghui pulling his hand, pulling harder and harder, as if he was using all his strength.

Li Weiyan's lowered eyes were full of sarcasm, but his face was already extremely sad. He stretched out his hand and swore, "I swear, for all eternity, forever and ever."

"Brother, don't! Don't swear!"

Wen Chu held his hand and kept shaking his head at him.

But Emperor Linghui refused to give in and insisted on making him swear until his last breath.

"You swear! Otherwise, you will never sit on the throne!!"

Li Weiyan said: "Sister, let go."

Li Weiyan's hurt look made Wen Chu feel even more painful, and she was waved away by him.

"I swear, for all eternity, whether in heaven or hell, I will protect Wen Chu. Otherwise, no one will bury me when I die, and no one will worship me when I am alive."

"Father, is that enough? Is that okay?"

Li Weiyan didn't understand, and didn't know why, why he just didn't believe him.

Why don't you always believe him?

Logically speaking, he should be suffering, in pain, and deserve death, but he didn't swear to take revenge, so he won't have peace in the afterlife.

However, at this moment, he had no idea at all, just like an old man who was about to die, his heart was as dead as dead water, because he had lived like this for so many years, and all these things today were just a few of them.

There were cries of pain all around, and he saw his sister hugging his father, crying almost to death.

He thought that children who grew up in love were different. They cried like this just because their parents died.

Li Weiyan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he kept his eyes lowered and cried along with everyone else.

All these things happened at the same time today. The bad nature of He Fang and the other two were completely exposed, and the evidence of their crimes was complete. All they had to do was wait for Song Yusheng to sentence them. And once Emperor Linghui passed away, the new emperor would ascend the throne.

The palace was suddenly in chaos and bustle.

In the past, the factional struggles were mostly between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. But after something happened to the He family, what else could the Second Prince use to fight?

After Li Weiyan ascended the throne, the princes who had reached the age of majority were made kings and moved out of Kyoto.

The death date of He Hong and Fang Xiu was set for early October. As for their crimes, leaving aside other things, the fact that He Hong and Fang Xiu colluded in kidnapping and selling children alone was enough to warrant ten death sentences.

If other crimes such as corruption are punished together, confiscation of property and extermination of the family can be considered a light punishment.

Even before being sentenced, He Hong refused to admit his guilt. However, the evidence was irrefutable and it was a foregone conclusion. No matter how much he denied it, it was useless.

The crimes committed by Song Yusheng and the words left by Emperor Linghui before his death, those people from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College and He Hong's party, no matter how they think about it, dare not say a word now. After all, they are already busy with their own affairs. If they show up with them again, they will certainly not be able to avoid the fact that they have accepted bribes privately. At this time, they should keep quiet if possible.

After Emperor Linghui died, the coffin stayed in the palace for seven days in a row, and Wen Chu knelt in the mourning hall for seven days in a row. No matter how Li Weiyan and Xiaoyi tried to persuade him, it was useless.

There was no sound in the mourning hall, and Wen Chu was already kneeling to exhaustion. Apart from eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, he just knelt here. The night wind blew the white mourning cloth, and there was no one around except the palace maids and eunuchs.

Song Yusheng walked closer and raised his hand to stop the sound of their greetings.

Wen Chu didn't know that the person who came after her was Song Yusheng, she thought it was still Li Weiyan.

Without even turning her head, she said, "Royal brother, there's no need to persuade me. This is the last night. Just ask me to accompany him again."

Wen Chu didn't hear any sound from behind her for a long time. She felt a little strange and turned around, only to see Song Yusheng standing behind her.
