Chapter 311 Brother, I am Shang Xiaojiu
royal palace.
The Supreme Emperor was sitting on the futon in Nuan Pavilion, playing chess with Xun Xiangguo.
He held a chess piece in one hand and twisted a string of Buddhist beads in the other.
What he was wearing today was not a dragon robe, but a simple monk's robe like he was wearing in a temple.
After he dropped a sunspot, he said to Xun Xiangguo: "I have stayed in the temple for several years, and I am used to worshiping Buddha. If Xun Aiqing hadn't returned to the court in time, I might still be in the temple accompanying the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha."
Xun Xiangguo put the chess pieces in his hands back into the chess jar, knelt to the side, knelt down deeply and saluted: "I'm too late to save you! Please punish me!"
The Supreme Emperor stretched out his hand to help him: "What are you doing, Xun Aiqing? You have been on the Western expedition for seven years, and your hard work has made great achievements. I am too late to reward you, so how can I punish you? Get up!"
Prime Minister Xun did not move: "It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries. I dare not take any credit!"
The Supreme Emperor said: "Hey, your merits are known all over the world. The people know it, the courtiers know it, and the emperor knows it. Even the ancestors and clans under Jiuquan will miss your merits."
Xiangguo Xun lowered his body even lower: "I am terrified!"
The Supreme Emperor helped him up with force: "Go on and play chess with me, don't ruin my interest."
"yes."
Xun Xiangguo sat back on the futon.
"It's your turn."
The Emperor reminded.
Xun Xiangguo picked up a black stone between his fingers and landed on the upper left corner of the chessboard.
The Supreme Emperor shook his head: "If you give in again, I will be angry."
Xun Xiangguo said sincerely: "The Emperor's chess skills are superb, and I am ashamed of myself."
The Supreme Emperor smiled: "You guys, none of you dare to defeat me. At least you should learn from King Miao. If he can't win, he will overturn the chessboard. Otherwise, you will regret the game."
Xun Xiangguo didn't answer. After the Supreme Emperor gave birth to a son, he also considered giving birth to a son.
The Supreme Emperor changed the subject and said: "I have heard about Xun Yu. You don't have to worry about this matter. I have sent someone to the Ministry of Punishments to convey the order, asking them to release Xun Yu and your nephew together. You will return home soon. I can see them now.”
Xun Xiangguo's expression changed: "The Supreme Emperor!"
The Supreme Emperor raised his hand to stop his next words: "You don't have to say anything. I am also a father and I understand you. I was busy with state affairs and neglected to teach several children. Except for the King of Chu, no one made me worry. "
Eunuch Fu glanced at Xun Xiangguo calmly.
Xun Xiangguo's expression was filled with surprise and regret, nothing else.
"In comparison, Xun Yu is already very good, doesn't he just have some... quirks that are not worthy of heretics?"
Xun Xiangguo frowned: "Your Majesty, there may be a misunderstanding on this matter..."
The Supreme Emperor interrupted him: "You don't need to be nervous in front of me. You are a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will not let the heroes feel cold. I have pardoned Xun Yu's crime of being dirty and messing with Qiu Xiang."
"What's the pardon for? The **** thing that little kid did has brought shame to the imperial court! You actually want to pardon him! Are you out of your mind, Supreme Emperor?"
King Miao walked in indignantly, with his hands on his hips and squirted at the Supreme Emperor.
Eunuch Fu cleared his throat: "King Miao, please don't be rude to the Supreme Emperor!"
"Weichen thinks that King Miao is right!"
Wang Yushi followed King Miao into the Nuan Pavilion and saluted the Supreme Emperor, "The Supreme Emperor, please take back your life!"
The Supreme Emperor asked with a surprised look on his face: "Wang Aiqing, have you finished your instructions?"
Wang Yushi straightened his back: "It's over."
King Miao had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, which was much better than those stubborn and stubborn ministers. It took only a quarter of an hour for the royal censor Wang to complete his instructions to King Miao.
"Your Majesty, please take back your life!"
"What if I don't take it back?"
"Then you are the Hunjun!"
"Wang Yushi!"
The Supreme Emperor overturned the chessboard and had a heated argument with Wang Yushi.
Xun Xiangguo's eyes narrowed.
The two quarreled until the emperor was so angry that he kicked everyone out of the palace.
King Miao stayed, and he wanted to have a midnight snack before leaving. On the carriage back to the Xun family, Xun Qi was also there.
He had already learned what happened from the eyeliner, and his face became a little ugly: "Father, the Emperor pardoned the third brother. It seems like a reward, but it is actually a punishment!"
Xun Yu and Wei Mingxuan have been imprisoned in the Criminal Department for a few days. The Prime Minister's Office has not redeemed them. They are just investigating the evidence. They only need to prove to others that Xun Yu and Wei Mingxuan were deliberately framed, and they can be cleared.
The Supreme Emperor used the word "pardon" to tell the world that Xun Yu had indeed done something filthy and chaotic, but because his father was a meritorious official, he was merciful outside the law.
In this way, Xun Yu's crime was completely confirmed, and the reputation of the prime minister was also damaged.
And as luck would have it, Wang Yushi was also there.
Tomorrow morning, there will be a message about the adoptive father in the court.
"The Supreme Emperor is really not a simple person. If I had known, I should have listened to Lu Yuan and killed him!"
Speaking of this, Xun Qi suddenly realized something and raised his head suddenly!
The adoptive father had made arrangements for the capital before the Western Expedition. Once the prince lost power, he would support the new prince to ascend to the throne.
The adoptive father asked Lu Yuan how he thought the emperor should be dealt with.
Lu Yuan suggested killing him to avoid further trouble.

At that time, their power was not strong enough. Once the assassination of the Supreme Emperor was exposed, it might be irreversible.
The adoptive father believed that Lu Yuan was taking risks, and also believed that Lu Yuan wanted the Xun family and the Supreme Emperor to perish together.
The adoptive father saw Lu Yuan's ambition and restlessness.
So the adoptive father asked Lu Yuan to put the emperor under house arrest himself.
Thinking about it now, Lu Yuan wondered whether Lu Yuan had calculated his adoptive father's distrust of him and deliberately showed just the right flaws to arouse his adoptive father's suspicion, thus saving the life of the Supreme Emperor.
If this is true, Lu Yuan is terrible.
As early as seven years ago, he calculated against everyone.
The arrow shot by his adoptive father seven years ago turned into a boomerang and hit him hard.
Xun Qi clenched his fists: "Father..."
Xun Xiangguo fumbled with the jade finger on his left hand: "Tell Chenlong that only one of Lu Yuan and Shang's bloodline can survive."
-
In the middle of the night, it rained again in the capital.
One person, one rider and one eagle shuttled through the strong wind and rain.
Meng Qianqian held the reins tightly, and big raindrops hit her cold face.
"The merchant's last bloodline..."
Meng Qianqian gritted her teeth, "Xun Xiangguo, you are so despicable!"
Accompanied by a loud roar, the falcon swooped down toward the southeast.
In the endless fields, two figures, one purple and one black, were holding hands fiercely in the rain.
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword are deadly.
Meng Qianqian tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted: "Stop!"
The figures of the two stagnated slightly, but just for a moment, the Qinglong Sword and the Xiuchun Sword slashed at each other mercilessly!
Meng Qianqian moved her fingertips and shot out two silver needles.
The two caught the silver needle at the same time, stabbed each other at the same time, and dodged at the same time.
Meng Qianqian frowned, straightened up, and landed between the two of them.
Lu Yuan's embroidered spring knife has been released and cannot be taken back.
At the critical moment, he struck his right shoulder with a palm and removed his arm.
The tendons suddenly reversed, and his Dantian felt pain. He knelt down on one knee and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Chenlong grabbed Meng Qianqian, pulled her behind him, and used his inner strength to send her ten steps away.
At the same time, he held the Qinglong Sword in his other hand and stabbed it straight between Lu Yuan's eyebrows.
Lu Yuan's tendons and veins were severed and he was unable to move: "Meng Xiaojiu, close your eyes..."
"Brother! Stop!"
Meng Qianqian called out to Chenlong loudly, "I am Xiaojiu! Shang Xiaojiu!"
Xiaojiu finally said it... The last day for doubles, and those who still have monthly votes should vote quickly!
