Rebirth of the Faint Lord

After reading Qi Junyan's brochure, Qi Junmu let out a cold snort.

He put the folder on the table and tapped it lightly with his slender and white fingers, then looked at Shen Nian and said with a sincere smile: "Do you think the current situation is deliberately hitting me in the face?"

Shen Nian stepped forward to pick up the booklet, his fingers touched the emperor's by accident.

The emperor's skin was slightly cold, Shen Nian suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, picked up the booklet and looked at it seriously with his expression unchanged.

When he saw the end, he felt a little stunned.

Why did the emperor hate Chang Sheng so much, and why did he insist on Chang Sheng's death.All the speculations are in this booklet. Chang Sheng's embezzlement and collusion with foreign enemies are unforgivable crimes for the emperor and Da Qi.

So the emperor would not let such a person live at all, it would be a shame for such a person to live.

Shen Nian can't quite understand people like Chang Sheng, he has never conceded defeat in the northern border, even if he has a knife, sword and gun on his body, all he thinks about is victory.

It's not that Bei Rong never sent beauties to send money to Shen's father and son, but they never took it to heart.

Their behavior is said to be great for Daqi and the common people, or ordinary for the soldiers who lived and died together, and for their own survival.

But whether it is righteousness or selfishness, they never thought of colluding with foreign enemies.

For such a person, Shen Nian is dismissive, he feels that Chang Sheng is really not worthy of the title of General Zhenxi.Chang Sheng is a villain, a villain who will be infamous forever.

The disgust on Shen Nian's face was obvious, and Qi Junmu laughed softly.

The voice is a bit dull, a little hoarse, and it's heart-stirring.

Shen Nian said sullenly: "It was Chang Sheng who did something wrong, what does it have to do with the emperor, the emperor was just deceived by villains." What he said was in response to the emperor's question just now.

Shen Nian did not ask how the emperor knew there was something wrong with Chang Sheng, and whether he sent someone to monitor Chang Sheng.

If so, did the emperor send someone to monitor the northern border?

Shen Nian was very calm, even if the emperor really sent someone to monitor the northern border, then he and his father Shen Yi would have no regrets.They and Chang Sheng are not in the same way at all, so naturally they are not afraid of investigation.

And for some reason, Shen Nian always felt that Qi Junmu didn't send anyone to monitor the northern border.

There is no reason, that's what he thinks in his heart.

Qi Junmu stopped laughing, and he sighed: "I just said that Qing's words are the most popular, and it's hard for others to touch Qing's hair."

Shen Nian was not amused by the emperor's words, instead the expression on his face became more serious, he said: "Because I know the emperor, I know that you don't want to be threatened by the emperor."

Qi Junmu hummed lightly, and responded positively to his evaluation.

He really doesn't like being threatened because he is the emperor.

Shen Nian knew that the emperor would summon all the ministers because of this matter, so before the emperor could speak, he said: "Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Qi Junmu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you think I can't bear the pressure and will continue to give Chang Sheng a face?"

Shen Nian didn't know how to express his feelings, he finally shook his head, he would naturally support what the emperor wanted to do, but at the same time he didn't want the emperor to be too burdened.

This feeling is very contradictory, but it is indeed his true thoughts.

Qi Junmu said: "Don't worry."

Having said that, he suddenly turned a corner: "Shen Nian, why don't you call me by my name."

Shen Nian's mind was all on business, when he heard the emperor's words suddenly, he froze there suddenly.Seeing his dull and calm contradictory appearance, the emperor felt a little joy in his heart.

Shen Nian glanced at the emperor, then straightened his face as much as possible and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should summon Prime Minister Zuo and the others to discuss the booklet that Prince Rui sent, I will retire first."

It's not that I don't want to shout, it's just that I feel flustered for a while, and I can't shout.Furthermore, the timing is not right now, the emperor still needs to discuss with the ministers about the western border.

It is also possible to continue these when the two get along in private.

Qi Junmu didn't force him, but nodded and watched him leave.

Shen Nian couldn't help but said before leaving: "Your Majesty, when Prime Minister Zuo and the others come, I want to join in the fun."

Qi Junmu agreed without even thinking about it, and he said, "I will wait for you to watch the excitement together."

Shen Nian responded, and couldn't help but look back when he walked out of the hall, only to see the emperor looking at him with a smile.Shen Nian's lips moved, and he silently called out the emperor's name.

Then he turned and left, Shen Nian whispered the emperor's name a few times, thinking that maybe next time, next time he would be able to call out this name in front of Qi Junmu.

The name of the emperor can be shouted from his mouth in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian laughed, the joy was always there, and Wang Jun and others who were beside him could obviously feel it, but they didn't dare to ask what happened.

Shen Nian's mood in this room was extremely joyful, but the atmosphere in the emperor's place was a bit dignified.

Qi Junmu gave Lin Xiao, Wen Zhuo, Liubu and other ministers the copy of Qi Junyan's banquet. After reading it, the faces of a group of people were not very good-looking.

Qi Junmu said: "What do you think about this matter?"

Lin Xiao and the six ministers looked at each other, but neither made a sound.

Wen Zhuo looked at Lin Xiao and pouted.

They didn't speak, but Qi Junmu spoke. He sneered and said, "Chang Sheng's body was discovered earlier. If it was two days in the evening, even if he died, I would order someone to flog the body. Really Blind, but also fulfilled his name before and after death."

These words were so gloomy that they were filled with air-conditioning, as if the wind was blowing up from the palace of Hades, several ministers felt cold all over.

"Your Majesty." Lin Xiao hurriedly stood up and said, "I know that the Emperor is angry, and I also know that what the Emperor said is angry. This matter is of great importance, and I think it needs to be discussed carefully."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao raised his eyes to look at Qi Junmu and said softly: "Your Majesty, just after Chang Sheng's body was found, Prince Rui found out that Chang Sheng was collaborating with the enemy and treason. Let’s find out what’s going on first.”

"It's because the matter is so important that Prince Rui dare not lie." Qi Junmu's tone was a little light, as if he was trying to suppress his roar for Lin Xiao's face: "If such a big matter is not completely Surely, how dare Prince Rui take the book. King Rui has Xing Yi watching and Cheng Jin watching, the most important thing is that Prince Rui has no foundation in the Western Region, and even less prestige in the Western Region Army, so it is impossible to be out of selfishness Frame Chang Sheng."

Lin Xiao thought for a while and felt that what the emperor said was right, he said: "What the emperor said is that I am in a hurry."

"The left minister is for my own good, and I understand it in my heart." Qi Junmu continued without changing his tone: "I want to know now, how to deal with Chang Sheng's matter?"

Chang Sheng's posthumous name was awarded by the emperor just now, and now Chang Sheng's body has not been returned to Beijing, and the charges of colluding with foreign enemies have been spread.If it is simply corruption, they still have something to say, but colluding with foreign enemies is a capital offense.

Since ancient times, how many heroes have been killed because of the emperor's suspicion, almost all of them were charged with this crime.But Chang Sheng is dead after all, and a dead person can't speak or defend himself.

Just like what the emperor said, what Prince Rui found must be conclusive, but no one knows if there is anything else in it.Since Chang Sheng is dead, the matter is still ambiguous, so it is better to put this matter aside for the time being.

The most important thing is that there are various forces behind Chang Sheng. If he is really charged with such a crime, many people will suffer accordingly.Take Wen Zhuo as an example, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he also knows about the shortage of money in the western region.

He often asks the Ministry of Households for money to give to Xijing, and Wen Zhuo is now the Queen's biological father. With a guard of honor, it's not like Chang Sheng has never sent him something.At least Wen Zhuo must have gotten some of the salaries that Chang Sheng embezzled.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao originally wanted to persuade the emperor, but then he thought of the word "whip the corpse" in the emperor's mouth, and hesitated again.The emperor seemed to hate Chang Sheng deeply. If he raised an objection at this time, it would be making the emperor unhappy.

Furthermore, what Chang Sheng committed was a serious crime that implicates the entire family, and it is really inappropriate to hide it.

Lin Xiao hesitated here, Wen Zhuo stood up there, crackled, and bluntly said that Chang Sheng was dead, and there was no major problem in the western region, at least the dead should be given a face.

After saying this, Wen Zhuo glanced at Lin Xiao proudly.

Qi Junmu was a little disappointed, maybe he got the most affirmative answer from Shen Nian, facing Wen Zhuo who said such a thing, he felt extremely unhappy.

The displeased emperor spoke a little bluntly, he said: "Master Wen, what kind of dignity do you think I will give Chang Sheng after death?"

Wen Zhuo couldn't hear the calmness of the emperor's anger, and instinctively wanted to open his mouth to say something.

Lin Xiao looked at Wen Zhuo, who was so stupid that he couldn't be more stupid, and hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wen didn't mean that, Mr. Wen just thought that this matter should be postponed..."

"You don't need to say too much, Prime Minister Zuo, I understand what Prime Minister Zuo means." Qi Junmu raised his hand to interrupt Lin Xiao's words, he stared at Wen Zhuo and said, "I'm here to tell Mr. Wen how to give Chang Sheng a face after death."

"I want the Chang family to return all the things I rewarded. Not only that, everyone in the Chang family will be exiled for three thousand miles. As for Chang Sheng himself, since he is dead, there is no need to return to Beijing. If he is buried in Chang Family grave, I'm afraid I'm going to dig up the grave and smash it down."

Now Wen Zhuo finally understood that the emperor was angry, and as soon as his legs gave way, he fell to his knees.

Qi Junmu glanced at him and ignored him, then stood up and said: "The Ministry of Rites and Prime Minister Zuo immediately prepared Chang Sheng's crime, and I will announce this matter to the world."

When Lin Xiao and the Minister of Rites saw the emperor getting angry, they didn't dare to say anything else, they only said that they would deal with it immediately.

Only then did the emperor put his eyes on Wen Zhuo again, and he said lightly: "Master Wen is probably sick these days, and he can't speak out of his head, or his brain is confused. Or he dares to do anything with his status as the head of the country." Say it, say anything."

Wen Zhuo knelt on the ground, tears came out in an instant, he said: "Your Majesty, I am terrified, I have never done anything to discredit the empress by virtue of my identity, the emperor is clearly aware."

"Go back and have a good rest when you're sick." The emperor turned a blind eye to Wen Zhuo's tears: "I will find out if you have done anything wrong to your heart. If there is, even the queen can't protect you."

Wen Zhuo didn't dare to say anything else.

Lin Xiao and the others didn't speak either. Lin Xiao felt a little strange. He felt that the emperor seemed to be deliberately targeting the Wen family this time.

Just thinking about it, I feel that it is unlikely, even if the emperor looks at the gentleness of the face, he will not be too hard on Wen's family.

Therefore, the emperor should speak warmly regardless of the occasion.

Lin Xiao thought about this in his heart, but Qi Junmu didn't want to say anything more to them.

Qi Junmu looked at the crowd and said indifferently: "Prince Rui and the others are about to leave for Beijing, and we will know what happened when Prince Rui returns."

Lin Xiao and others didn't dare to say anything else, they could only say yes.

The emperor looked at them and said again: "The Marquis of Zhenbei also has the right to know about this matter, so listen to what he has to say."

Lin Xiao's first reaction was to object, but the emperor didn't look at him at all, and asked Ruan Jiqing to call people over to discuss the matter.

After Shen Nian arrived, he heard the emperor's words about the cause and effect, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I feel that there is a fraud in it. The Emperor should order someone to investigate the strange death of Chang Sheng. I am puzzled Well, the emperor asked him to go to the northern border to change his defense. This is an extremely secret matter. Why did he die so strangely? Weichen felt that since he had colluded with Xidi, it was very likely that Xidi saw him wanting to slip away halfway, so he decided to leave. Kill him."
