Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

Yan Chonghou said nothing. He continued to make moves. This time, Emperor Xuande pressed forward step by step.

After a moment, he abandoned his son and surrendered.

"Your Majesty, I have lost." Yan Chonghou was sweating profusely, just like Emperor Xuande back then.

It's not that his chess skills are new, but that Emperor Xuande is even more powerful.

Emperor Xuande was murderous at every step, leaving no escape route for him.

"You have lost a long time ago." Emperor Xuande had something in his words.

He stood up, his body relaxed, and the anger and humiliation that had been stored in his heart for many years was released at this moment.

He looked at Yan Chonghou as if he were a dead man.

"Yan Chonghou, just kneel here and think about what you have done over the years."

After Emperor Xuande finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yan and said, "You Ning, let's go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as Emperor Xuande and Shen Yan left, the entire palace suddenly became quiet.

This game of chess was played for two hours, and Yan Chonghou knelt for two whole hours.

He was kneeling just now without daring to move his body. When Emperor Xuande left, he relaxed, but found that his legs were numb, his waist and back hurt, and he suddenly collapsed.

Looking around, there was no one in the palace, only the flickering candlelight, flickering on and off, and the burning wick occasionally made one or two sounds, making the palace seem even quieter.

Yan Chonghou raised his head and looked at the plaque above his head, which read: The world is for one.

This was inscribed by the late emperor himself.

Thinking of the late emperor, Yan Chonghou's memory became a little blurry. Once upon a time, perhaps when he was with the late emperor, he had put the world in his heart.

But, it was only a moment, fleeting.

He comes from a noble family and has been taught since childhood how to control power and obtain more benefits for his family.

If he had cared about the people, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

night, deeper.

"Your Majesty, when we went to the Yan Mansion, we found that there were assassins in the Yan Mansion. We were there to kill Yan Chonghou and silence him. The other assassins were all dead and only the assassin leader survived." Shen Yan walked beside Emperor Xuande and reported to him.

"You go do this and see if you can come up with something. It doesn't matter if you don't come out. As long as Yan Chonghou dies, the family's vitality will be greatly damaged and nothing will happen. For the remaining people, let them live a few more days. It doesn't matter." Emperor Xuande said in a brisk tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yan said, "I'll go over and take a look. Your Majesty, please go and rest."

Emperor Xuande nodded, "You should go and rest after your work. Tomorrow morning, Yan Chonghou will be put on trial!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Yan had only taken a few steps when a guard ran over, "The princess is not good! The assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide!"

After hearing this, she rushed over quickly, and when she saw the assassin leader, he was already dead.

"What's going on!" Shen Yan asked the three people guarding the assassin leader.

"Princess, we didn't blink and kept staring at him. He suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide. We didn't have time to stop him." The tall and fat guard said.

"I tapped his acupuncture points, but he couldn't move. How could he bite his tongue and commit suicide?" Shen Yan asked coldly.

"Princess, is it possible that he broke through the acupuncture point himself?" Another short and thin guard said.

"Are you doubting my princess's martial arts!?" Shen Yan raised her eyebrows.

"I don't dare." The guard lowered his head.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can break through Shen Yan's acupuncture point, and this leading assassin will definitely not be able to break through it.

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, she also asked three guards to guard the assassin at the same time to avoid being tampered with.

She had just checked and found that the leading assassin's acupuncture points had indeed been unlocked. This was definitely not something that the three guards could do.

In addition to the guards and assassins, a fifth person appeared in this room.

"Who was here just now?" Shen Yan asked.

All three of them shook their heads and said in unison, "No."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Shen Yan didn't continue to ask. How many people in the entire Great Qin could dare to do something under Emperor Xuande's nose?

Moreover, the identity of a person who can command three guards at the same time is definitely not simple.

"Dispose of the body!" Shen Yan did not scare the snake.

"Yes, princess."

Shen Yan left the house and looked up at the sky. The night was over and dawn had arrived.

The next day.

Hundreds of officials go to court.

The courtiers entered the Qiankun Hall and saw a man kneeling in the hall, with his body hunched and white hair.

There was a thick stack of account books stacked next to him, and there was also an account book placed where the officials usually stood.

The courtiers were surprised and didn't know what was going on.

"The Emperor is here!"

Eunuch Chen shouted loudly, and Emperor Xuande came stepping on the rising sun. The golden morning light shone on his bright yellow dragon robe, shining brightly.

He is tall, and at this moment, he is more like a god who has descended into the world. He is majestic, domineering, and intimidating.

Shen Yan was dressed in red and stood beside Emperor Xuande. Her aura was not inferior to that of Emperor Xuande.

If Emperor Xuande is the ruler of heaven and earth, then Shen Yan is the patron saint.

The courtier glanced at them and quickly lowered their heads, as if looking twice was disrespectful to Emperor Xuande and Shen Yan.

"I have met the Emperor and Princess Youning." All the officials saluted.

"Pingshen." Emperor Xuande sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers, "Are you particularly curious as to why I came so early today?"

If it had been in the past, Emperor Xuande would have taken a stick of incense to arrive.

Emperor Xuande didn't want anyone to answer. He continued, "Do you recognize the person kneeling in front of you?"

"Your Majesty, isn't this the head of the Yan family?" Prime Minister Sun asked.

"That's right, Mr. Sun has really good eyesight." Emperor Xuande looked at Yan Chonghou and shouted, "Yan Chonghou, raise your head so that everyone can take a good look at you!"

Yan Chonghou just wanted to bury his head in the ground. He didn't want his former colleagues to see him in this desolate state.

However, Emperor Xuande gave the order and he had to raise his head.

The courtiers whispered for a while and pointed at Yan Chonghou.

Yan Shangshu, who used to be majestic in the past, is now like a lost dog.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what the master of the Yan family has committed?" a courtier asked.

"If you look at the account book in front of you, you will know what he has committed." Emperor Xuande said.

Everyone picked up the account book in front of them, looked at it and read it out.

"In March of the year Yiyou, they occupied hundreds of acres of farmland in Hejia Village, seriously injuring two people and killing one."

"In July of the year Dinghai, Liang Hongzhang received a thousand taels of silver and promoted him to an official position."

"In the Jiashen year, [-] taels of military pay were deducted."

……

The voices in the hall rose and fell one after another, and as they read the words, their voices were filled with anger.

"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. The pile next to him is all his evidence." Emperor Xuande said coldly.

Buying and selling officials, seizing fertile land, taking human life lightly, deducting military pay, taking bribes...

Yan Chonghou’s crimes are so heinous that it’s difficult to describe them!

"Yan Chonghou, are the things you have done worthy of the Emperor's trust in you?"

"Yan Chonghou, you really deserve death!"

"It's not a pity to die!"

……

The courtiers accused Yan Chonghou one after another.

"Your Majesty, I request that Yan Chonghou be put to death Lingchi to warn the world!" Prime Minister Sun knelt down and asked for orders.

His eyes were red, his voice was trembling, and he looked extremely angry.

"Your Majesty, Yan Chonghou's crimes are extremely heinous, and I request that he be executed immediately!"

"Your Majesty, Yan Chonghou has committed a crime that cannot be redeemed by death. I request that he be executed immediately!"

"Execute Yan Chonghou!"

All the courtiers knelt down in unison and shouted loudly, their voices filled with anger.

Yan Chonghou really achieved the point where both humans and gods were angry.

"Yan Chonghou, do you know your guilt?" Emperor Xuande asked sharply.

Yan Chonghou raised his head. In just one night, his hair had turned gray, as if he had aged by more than ten years.

"The minister is guilty."

One night was enough for Yan Chonghou to think about many things.

"Your Majesty, everything was done by me alone. I am willing to die to apologize and ask the Emperor to let my family go. They are innocent."

"How many innocent people have you killed over the years?" Emperor Xuande asked.

Yan Chonghou was silent. He couldn't even remember how many innocent people he had harmed.

The evidence is overwhelming and no more trials are needed.

Emperor Xuande directly gave the order, "Yan Chonghou's crime is extremely heinous and he will be executed in Lingchi! Everyone in the Yan Mansion will be executed!"
