[Rebirth] Uncle is above, don't care

When Shen Chengjing was announced by the emperor to King Jingxian's mansion, he had already guessed everything, the initial shock and fear had disappeared, and all that remained was calm.

Looking at the ruined walls in front of him, he knew that as long as he stepped into this gate, he might never be able to get out in this life, but the imperial decree has been issued, and no one can defy it, and there is no way to escape the retribution that should come, but as long as it does not reach the end I haven't lost for a moment, so I have to persevere to the end no matter what in this final battle.

Walking into the front hall step by step, he lifted the hem of his court clothes and knelt down respectfully: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

His tone of voice was flat without a trace of panic, his long-term fatigue was evident on his face, and his back was slightly swollen. The former high spirits disappeared because of the separation of his wife and children, and now only a handful of skinny bones remained.

Shen Chenghui glanced at him, knowing that he had committed a heinous crime, but still felt worried.

"Chengjing, do you know why I announced you to come here today?"

"I don't know." Second Shen shook his head, speaking very seriously.

Shen Chenghui heaved a long sigh, knowing that he would not confess so easily, he was even more chilled.

"Li Yongkang has recruited everything. It's useless for you to refuse to admit it. Tell me the truth, what happened to the sixth brother's death?"

Shen Chengjing laughed, "Brother, I don't even know what you're talking about. Li Yongkang and I are only officials of the same dynasty. I don't care what happened to him and you punish him. Isn't it absurd that the cause of death depends on the minister?"

"You expected that I didn't take your evidence, didn't you?" Shen Chenghui's face darkened.

Shen Chengjing sighed and said aggrievedly: "Brother, the gossip about this matter is not ignorant, but you and I grew up together, do you also doubt me? Li Yongkang is a selfish and insidious villain. In order to protect himself, he can do anything, he framed his younger brother and killed the sixth younger brother, and you can believe it without proof? The sixth younger brother is our younger brother, how could I harm him?"

"Okay, okay, it seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin, I will ask you again, does the death of the sixth brother have anything to do with you?"

"No." Shen Chengjing raised his head resolutely, with a determined expression on his face, "The sixth brother's death was checked by the imperial physicians of Quanyu Pharmacy, and I have a clear conscience."

Shen Chengqi, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but the expression on his face was extremely desperate.

This is my second elder brother, who was still quibbling when he was about to die. Not only did he not repent for what he had done, but he looked frank.

How did he have the cheek to say the words "with a clear conscience"! ?

Standing beside him, Shen Yinbei hugged him gently, and felt no better than him. On one side was his father and on the other was his sixth uncle, both of whom were close relatives of flesh and blood. Listening to my father lying here and talking, my heart is completely cold.

"Brother, you are shaking."

"I'm fine, you don't have to do this." Shen Chengqi pushed his hand away, trying to ignore his gray eyes and squeeze out a smile.

Shen Yinbei didn't let go, looked at him for a long time, broke his face with both hands, kissed deeply on the forehead, and said in a nasal voice: "Brother, you have been planning for so long, and finally waited for this day, go out Don't hide here, testify against the person who killed you, don't worry about me."

Shen Chengqi paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him in shock, "You...what did you just say? Do you know what the person who killed me is?"

Shen Yinbei smiled, but his face was a little pale, his fingers lightly stroked his face, but his expression was rare and gentle, "I was just testing you, I didn't expect you to be cheated, and I guessed right , Sixth Uncle, although I am more used to calling you Big Brother, you are really trying to hide it from me."

Shen Chengqi was stunned, he didn't expect Shen Yinbei to guess his identity at this moment, let alone how to deal with being exposed, he opened his mouth like a fool at this moment, wishing he could turn around and run away .

"I... you... aren't you afraid that I'm a ghost?"

Shen Yinbei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he put his arms around him and said, "It doesn't matter if you are a human or a ghost, as long as you are still in front of me, that's enough. Go ahead and come back after everything is settled. Remember, you owe me an explanation."

Before Shen Chengqi could react, he pushed him out.

Looking at Shen Chengqi's back, Shen Yinbei turned and walked out.

He no longer has the courage to face Shen Chengjing's fate, nor is he willing to violate his conscience to stop Shen Chengqi, so he can only quietly exit the stage by himself, Sixth Uncle, do what you want to do, this is what my father owes you, and I owe you too ...

Shen Chengqi stood on the spot at a loss, and couldn't believe that Shen Yinbei would be so calm after knowing his identity. He thought that the moment his identity was exposed was the moment when they broke up completely, but thinking about it now, it seems that it is not the same thing .

Shen Yinbei, what are you thinking?I have been using you from the beginning to the end, and now you want to kill your father, so how can you let me go so calmly?

When the six gods were at a loss, Shen Chengjing had already seen his figure, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Shen Chenghui then turned his head and looked at him with complicated eyes, "Isn't it telling you to step down? I have my own opinion about your father's affairs. Don't tell me you want to resist the order?"

Shen Chengqi took back the thoughts that were disturbed by Shen Yinbei before, settled down, and walked over slowly, "Your Majesty, I don't want to resist the order, but to show you something that Prince Duankang didn't want to show to others. Look."

"Presumptuous! Don't forget your identity. Your Majesty is here, but you dare to talk nonsense! Your Majesty, you should drive him away. This kid is crazy. Don't listen to his nonsense."

At this time, Shen Chengjing had lost his composure just now. At this time, he had no intention of caring about why Shen Chengqi appeared here, but he was just afraid that he would use himself to conceal his identity and take the opportunity to take revenge on himself for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Shen Chenghui was unmoved after hearing what he said, instead he waved to Shen Chengqi and said, "I really wonder how many cards you have in your hand, and what are you going to show now?"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense! He is really just the adoptive son of the minister, and now he is only greedy for ambition, and wants to monopolize the family property of the minister! Your Majesty, please don't fall into the trap!" Shen Chengjing jumped out to clarify before Shen Chengqi could speak.

Shen Chengqi sneered, "Prince Duankang, I didn't say anything about why you were nervous? Could it be trying to cover up?"

"Shen Yinque! What on earth do you want to do? I'm your father, and you...you actually talk to me like that!?"

When Shen Chengjing saw that he had lost his stamina, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the emperor hadn't been there, he would have strangled the little beast. If he hadn't been softhearted, he wouldn't have left him alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left such a big one behind. handle!

"Shen Yinque? You said his surname is Shen?" Shen Chenghui frowned, his face getting greener and greener, "How could his adopted son be crowned with the royal surname, Shen Chengjing, please explain to me clearly, who is this child!?"

Shen Chengqi, who was standing aside watching the show, couldn't help it, and said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, don't you see it now? This minister is not his adopted son, but his own son, the one who was abandoned at birth. Shen Yinque. Back then, he disliked the scars on his minister's face and lied to the late emperor. He imprisoned him in the palace without seeing the light of day. If he hadn't sneaked out to meet Your Majesty on the day of the birthday banquet, he had no choice but to make up lies about his adopted son. I'm afraid I won't be able to step out of the palace for the rest of my life!"

Shen Chengjing closed his eyes with ashen face, Shen Chenghui was so shocked that he didn't turn around for a long time, his whole body swayed and almost couldn't stand up.

"This truth is what you want to show me?"

Shen Chengqi stepped forward to support him, still with a smile on his face, "Of course not, who the minister is is actually a trivial matter, and Prince Duankang colluded with the criminal minister Li Yongkang, formed a party for personal gain, corrupted the law, and finally killed the sixth prince The things that matter are the big things.”

Shen Chengjing knelt on the ground and was already trembling all over. Looking at Shen Chengqi's smiling face, he felt terrified for the first time.

Even if he had sneered at him since he was a child, and he wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge, but let him suffer a complete defeat, what good is he in this world?

"Your Majesty, I have already said that these are all slanders! I didn't harm my second brother, and I have nothing to do with Li Yongkang! This child is already crazy, and I wish I could die. Your Majesty, you can't believe him."

"Shut up! Shen Chengjing, why do you have the face to say such things? Do you want evidence? Okay, I'll give you evidence!"

Shen Chengqi couldn't stand his selfishness, even if he had no other way out, he would blame others. He reached out and took out a yellowed account book from his cuff and handed it to Shen Chenghui, saying: "Your Majesty, this is the account book between him and Li Yongkang. There is a secret passage in the dense forest in the backyard of Duankang Wangfu, which leads directly to the secret room. There is a lot of such evidence. The minister has not had time to show it. If your majesty does not believe it, you can send it now. people to check."

Shen Chenghui was still suffering from the fact that only Li Yongkang's confession was not enough to convict Shen Chengjing, but now that he saw these, he completely dispelled his doubts. The records in this list are so clear that he can't believe it.

Throwing the list in front of Shen Chengjing, his face turned blue with anger, "I keep saying that you have nothing to do with Li Yongkang, how should I explain it now? Second brother, if you slap yourself, I will blush for you!"

"Chen...Chen is acquainted with Li Yongkang, but...this has nothing to do with the death of the sixth brother!"

Seeing that Shen Laoer is still sophistrying, Shen Chengqi has completely given up, and it is impossible to expect him to have a little repentance.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, took out Zhao Wanyou's note before he died and the incriminating evidence that Li Yongkang was forced to hand over by pretending to be a killer that night, and put them all in front of him, saying: "The doctor Zhao was just killed a few days ago." , you thought it would be foolproof, but you didn’t expect him to leave a note to testify against you, right? And this one, written by Li Yongkang himself, those doctors from the Imperial Hospital who gave false testimony for you have recently either left the palace or are bizarre Death, I found one of the survivors based on the clues provided by Li Yongkang, would you like to meet now?"

Shen Chenghui picked up these things and looked at them carefully, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, he raised his hand and slapped Shen Chengjing, "I have been persuading myself not to believe it, but with so many certified physical evidence in front of me, how can you tell me not to believe it? Shen Chengjing , Lao Liu has treated you well, why did you treat him so cruelly!?"

Shen Chengjing knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and it took him a long time before he suddenly burst out laughing, "Brother Huang, do you know what I hate the most about you? I hate you the most for taking sides with the sixth child in everything, pampering and pampering everyone no matter right or wrong, father That’s right, you are the same, why should you be treated so unfairly even though you are also a son!?”

Shen Chenghui took a step back, and said in disbelief: "You...admitted that you killed the sixth brother?!"

"That's right, I killed him, and I put those moon orchids that killed him into the medicine myself, and asked Imperial Physician Zhao to bring them to him." Shen Chengjing suddenly raised his head, and a crazy look flashed in his eyes, "He has already Damn it! He thinks he is the proud son of heaven, never takes you and me seriously, I just remove the disaster for you, otherwise the world will be taken by him sooner or later!"

"Shut up!" Shen Chenghui yelled angrily, and kicked him to the ground, "Sixth Brother, I have always admired him since I was a child. I know his character well. He has no intention of political affairs at all, so how can he talk about seeking power and usurping the throne?"

"So you can safely hand over the military power to him? We are also younger brothers, and you and I are the mother's sons. He is just an outsider who was born to a concubine. Would you rather trust him than me?"

Shen Chengjing didn't care about the etiquette and dignity, anyway, he was ready to fight when he was about to die, raised his head and screamed without fear of death, his eyes were bloodshot, like a greedy beast.

"Enough of Shen Chengjing, after all, you just want this country, don't you? What kind of military power and eccentricity are all because of your jealousy! Oh, you can kill the sixth brother, but will you kill me too in the future!?"

Shen Chengjing sneered, "Brother Emperor, the emperor's throne is for those who are capable, and if the sixth younger brother dies, the military power will be mine. Your kindness as a woman does not distinguish right from wrong, and you are not the emperor's material! If I hadn't been killed by this evil son today , it’s hard to say who will win the battle!”

Hearing this, Shen Chengqi couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and grabbed his collar and said, "Shen Chengjing, stop making excuses for your selfishness, the late emperor has already noticed that you have evil intentions, sooner or later If you want to endanger the world, you have to guard against it, and you can kill it when necessary, but the emperor was soft-hearted and didn't obey the edict, and made you a prince, and now you are repaying him like this?"

The moment he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

After a long time, Shen Chengjing looked at him with a pale face: "What nonsense are you talking about! My father would not treat me like this, no! Who are you and why do you know this?"

Shen Chenghui glanced at Shen Chengqi in shock, his fingers were trembling with excitement, he stepped forward to say something, but Shen Chengqi smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the words of the former emperor are still in my ears. It's time for you to make a decision."

"Zhen..." Shen Chenghui's eyes turned red with excitement as he looked at him, as if tears would be shed in the next second. Only he and his sixth brother knew what happened before the death of the late emperor, but the young man in front of him... he Could it be the sixth brother?

Shen Chengjing was already unable to control Shen Chengqi's identity, and now he just wanted to save his own life. He knelt on the ground and hugged Shen Chenghui's leg tightly, tearing up and down, trying to soften his heart: "Brother, you can't do anything to me. It's your own brother! After I die, there will be no relatives of yours in this world!"

The emperor took a deep look at Shen Chengqi, he smiled calmly as if he didn't care at all, but at this moment he knew in his heart that the other party was waiting for him to give him an answer, a fair answer.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and said, "Come here, drag Lord Duankang down and put him in death row. He will be sentenced tomorrow morning."

The sound of Shen Chengjing's cries and begging for mercy was close to his ears, but Shen Chengqi could no longer hear him. He watched him being dragged away by the guards, but he didn't feel any pleasure of revenge for his hatred.

The second brother may not be used again in this life, and the scene of brothers killing each other is nothing but a lose-lose in the end.

There were only two people left in the empty front hall of the palace. The moment Shen Chenghui, who had his back turned to him, turned his head, he saw tears on his face.

A man does not flick his tears lightly, let alone a generation of emperors.

Shen Chengqi blinked his sour eyes hard, and forced out a smile, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I'm going to leave."

Shen Chenghui came over and raised his hand to caress his eyes as he did when he was a child, but his fingers were not like those of a young man back then. The ravines and lines made both of them tremble slightly.

"Why didn't I notice before that your eyes are still exactly the same as before."

A drop of tear fell down the emperor's hand, Shen Chengqi opened his mouth but his voice was already hoarse, "I...don't understand what Your Majesty means"

Shen Chenghui smiled bitterly, but there was a soft light in his eyes, "You were wronged when you were young, and you ran to me to cry, and you had to coax me with osmanthus cake to show a smile. I don't know after so many years, you Would you like to go back with me and eat a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Shen Chengqi couldn't help sobbing, gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but it's really getting late, and it's time for Your Majesty to return to the palace."

"Hehe." Shen Chenghui smiled wryly, patted his head and said, "Okay, since you don't want to recognize me, it doesn't matter, but Chengjing has reached this point and there is no turning back. I'm a widow. Don't forget to come back and have a look, I... miss you very much."

Shen Chengqi nodded, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, choked up sobbing that he couldn't speak, tears fell into the cracks of the stone slabs and immediately fainted.

Seeing the bright yellow hem disappearing before his eyes, he never admitted that he was Shen Chengqi.

The sky gradually brightened, and a red sun was shining in the sky. Walking out of the gate of King Jingxian's mansion, the sun was shining, and there was a man in white clothes standing under the crabapple tree in front of the gate. He looked here from a distance and walked over with a smile , with a gentle look on his handsome face, and unprecedented joy in his gray eyes.

Shen Chengqi curled his mouth, opened his arms and said to him, "I remember I owe someone an explanation, so I came here."

Shen Yinbei chuckled, stepped forward and hugged him in his arms, and kissed his ear, "Well, you have a lifetime to explain slowly, my sixth uncle."
