The emperor fell to the ground and cried, heartbroken.Seeing this, Jiao Kangsheng quickly closed the door, then helped the emperor to the chair and sat down, saying: "Your Majesty, calm down."

The emperor sat there blankly, "You heard what Xiao Huai said, right? He asked me to write an edict of sin and to destroy myself. He wanted me to die, he wanted to kill me."

Seeing that he was almost insane, Jiao Kangsheng felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.Writing an imperial edict against oneself and abolishing oneself is more disgraceful to an emperor than killing him.

"I won't do what he wants," the emperor suddenly stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and kept saying, "I won't do what he wants, I won't do what he wants...  ..."

Jiao Kangsheng stood beside him with a wrinkled face. He suspected that the emperor's spirit must be really abnormal, but he dared not say it.

"Let Wu Zhengxin...let Wu Zhengxin spread the news," the emperor walked up to Jiao Kangsheng, looked at him and said, "Dingguo Gong Xiao Huai encircled me, intending to usurp the throne. Let Wu Zhengxin spread the news, Let the common people in Dagan spurn Xiao Huai."

Jiao Kangsheng: "...Your Majesty, the entire capital city is under the control of Duke Ding, so this matter cannot be done."

"Then what to do?" asked the emperor.

Jiao Kangsheng frowned and shook his head. The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it can't be done, I will do it. I can't sit still and wait for death!"

Jiao Kangsheng looked puzzled, the emperor looked at him and said, "Even you don't listen to me now?"

"Yes, yes, I'll do it now, my servant," Jiao Kangsheng said hastily.

Their every move is under the surveillance of others, and doing these is just a dying struggle.

After leaving the bedroom, Jiao Kangsheng saw Xiao Yuming leaning on the pillar, looking at him with a half-smile.He forced out a smile and said, "Second Young Master, slave...I want Xiao Dezi to go out and buy something."

Xiao Yuming smiled, "Okay, let's go."

Jiao Kangsheng saluted stiffly, then called Xiao Dezi aside, and whispered to him to send a letter to Wu Zhengxin.Xiao Dezi's face also wrinkled when he heard that, "Boss Jiao, don't you think this is nonsense?"

"Go if you are told." Jiao Kangsheng said.

Could he not know that he was messing around, but the emperor is still the emperor now, and they are still the emperor's people, so they have to obey his orders.

Xiao Dezi nodded, took a careful look at Xiao Yuming, and then ran away quickly.Jiao Kangsheng walked back, and when he passed by Xiao Yuming, he saluted again and prepared to go back to the bedroom.

At this time, I heard Xiao Yuming say: "You don't have to do it so much trouble, the emperor wants to see any minister, just call him over."

Jiao Kangsheng: "...Yes, this slave will tell the emperor."

He turned around and entered the bedroom, Xiao Yuming snorted.I really can't understand the emperor's behavior. At this time, why are you still struggling, just to make people laugh?

Glancing at the soldiers standing aside, he said, "Go and report to the commander."

After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately went back to Duke Dingguo's mansion and reported the matter to Xiao Huai.After hearing this, Xiao Huai waved his hands, "Don't worry about it."

The soldier withdrew after saluting, Tang Shuyi said: "Looking at his current behavior, it seems that his thinking is completely confused."

"It's just a dying struggle." Xiao Huai said: "For so many years, he has always advertised himself as a wise king, but behind his back, he always used those little tricks that would not stand out. The courtiers all understand. His abdication is what everyone expects."

Tang Shuyi nodded, "Don't delay it for too long. Let's finish it as soon as possible."

"Give him another day." Xiao Huai said.

Tang Shuyi sighed for a long time, "Chun Wei is coming soon, don't disturb Chun Wei. Later, I will discuss with Mrs. Lao Li Guo about the wedding date of Yu Chen and Jianing. I will be a mother-in-law soon!"

Xiao Huai looked at him and smiled, "We will set off after Yu Ming gets married."

Tang Shuyi leaned back and smiled comfortably on the brocade couch. She was looking forward to it.

They are discussing travel here, and Wu Zhengxin and his wife are discussing how to escape.After receiving the information from the palace, Wu Zhengxin began to feel on pins and needles.He absolutely couldn't do what the emperor arranged, and if he did it, he would die.

But if you don't do it, you might die.Although the emperor is now imprisoned in the palace, he is still the emperor.He didn't dare to order to kill Xiang Tianhe, but he dared to give him death.

"Stop spinning, it makes me dizzy." Mrs. Wu said.

Wu Zhengxin stopped, "I'm in a hurry! Ma'am, what do we do now?"

"Either...or let's run away, far away." Mrs. Wu said.

Wu Zhengxin sighed for a long time: "Now every gate in Shangjing City is guarded by Ding Guogong's soldiers, how can we escape?"

"But, I heard that the people in the city can go out of the city and enter the city normally!"

"That's ordinary people," Wu Zhengxin went to the chair and sat down, and sighed again: "I'm sure most of the ministers in the court are under the supervision of Duke Dingguo. The fact that someone in the palace came to deliver a letter to me, Duke Ding must know now, can he let me go out of the city?"

"Then...then what should we do?" Mrs. Wu held the handkerchief tightly, and after a while she said: "How about I go and ask Mrs. Ding Guogong, the one who wanted to kill them before was the emperor, and we But it doesn't matter at all."

Wu Zhengxin frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, you can post the post now and visit Mrs. Dingguo tomorrow."

Mrs. Wu hurriedly got up and went to the study to write a post.It didn't take long for Tang Shuyi to receive an invitation from Mrs. Wu.She could roughly guess what Mrs. Wu was going to do, so she told Cuiyun, "Go back to them, the house is busy these days, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

Every cause must have its effect. As a close confidant of the emperor, Wu Zhengxin has done many bad things in recent years.If you enjoy what you deserve, you have to bear the consequences.

When Wu Zhengxin and Mrs. Wu received the reply, both of them were in mourning.But they did not dare to obey the emperor's order, so they could only pretend to be dead at home.

The next day, the emperor received news that Wu Zhengxin was seriously ill.He dropped a few more teacups, and said, "Preach my will, and if you don't follow the order without integrity, you will be executed."

Jiao Kangsheng left the bedroom with a sigh, and saw Xiao Yuming explain the emperor's imperial decree.After hearing this, Xiao Yuming said, "You can ask Prince Kang about this matter, and see what he says."

Jiao Kangsheng said yes, and went to the cabinet to find Li Jingyi.At this time, the ministers of the cabinet are all there.He walked in and saluted Li Jingyi, "His Royal Highness, the emperor issued an order saying that Wu Zhengxin resisted the order and refused to obey it, so he will be executed. What do you think?"

There was silence in the room, and he had to ask Prince Kang whether the emperor's imperial decree could be carried out, which meant that Prince Kang's succession to the throne was almost a certainty.
