Chapter 355: Trial Wei Feng
"Your Majesty, you... are you going to scare me or piss me to death?" Xu Jiteng stood up and looked at Huangfu Chongzhi with a shocked look on his face.
Xu Su, who was standing beside him, also twitched violently. In the past, he always thought that Xu Luo, the sworn brother who came from the royal family, was a very elegant and reliable person. Now he realized that those who could play with his second brother were indeed not very reliable.
Even the originally steady and elegant eldest prince actually had such a side. If you talk about it, no one dared to believe it.
"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me and talk about anything else." Huangfu Chongzhi said apologetically.
"Huh!" Xu Ji let out a long breath and sat down slowly, but felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and his whole body was awkward.
When Leng Mengde shouted that, the future of the Leng family was ruined. Now, the new emperor said in front of him that he wanted to abdicate the throne to him... How could Xu Ji, who had the word loyalty in his bones, bear it?
"Xu Luo knows me very well. As a sworn brother, he knows best about my ambitions. I have no intention of the throne. It was like this back then, but now... it is still like this."
"The reason I promised my aunt to come back to ascend the throne was because I knew that the Cangqin Royal Family had no one except my sister Qiqi. If I didn't ascend the throne, the world would be unstable."
"When I was in Xu Luo's fiefdom, I met a woman. At first I didn't know her identity. Later, when he sent Hongzhi back, he also accompanied a letter. I realized that she was from a sect and could not stay with me because she was afraid of implicating me. But as a man, I have to take on the responsibility I should bear, and I want to find her! I love her very much, which is why I have been preventing my choice of concubines until today after I ascended the throne."
"I know in my heart how much ability I have. If I say that being a conservative king may be barely enough, but if I want to be a wise king like my father, it must be too bad!"
"Now I have a prince. I believe that with the teaching and help of my uncle, the regent, he will definitely become a wise master in the future..."
Xu Ji looked at Huangfu Chongzhi blankly, as if he had known this eldest prince who had been embarrassed for the first time... The new emperor now murmured: "But do you know how people will say to me if they do this? How do you say to me? I, Xu Ji... I, have become a powerful minister who uses the emperor to order the princes?"
"If my uncle really wants that position, how could he do anything? How could he wait until today?" Huangfu Chongzhi said, and then begged apologetically: "Uncle, please forgive me and accept it once. If I force me to that position, I will never be happy, I am afraid I won't live long..."
Xu Ji was slightly moved and became silent. He thought that if someone wanted to force him to separate from Luo Xinlan, he would probably rather give up everything than stay with his wife.
Before, Luo Xinlan had to return to the sect temporarily for Xu Luo, and Xu Ji was depressed for a long time. If it weren't for his son, the front line would be tight, so he would have rushed over to grab people.
Xu Luo, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes quietly and said to himself: I haven't seen you for a long time, and the boss has become cunning. The bullshit can't live long. After eating the blood pill, the two guys, Little Fatty and Sui Yan, both broke through to the peak of the sword master and reached the realm of the half-step sword king. Although the aura on your body is very well concealed, it can't escape my eyes. He has clearly entered the realm of transformation, and his life span has lasted for how long than ordinary people...
Xu Luo could understand that Huangfu Chongzhi was depressed and could not stay with the person he loved. This was already a very painful thing. During this period, not only did he have an additional son who was connected with him, but even the family suffered a huge change, and his parents and brothers died overnight, which forced Huangfu Chongzhi, who was originally not interested in the throne, to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
This throne, which symbolizes the peak of the world in the eyes of others, may not be as valuable as Yibi Alchemy in the eyes of Huangfu Chongzhi.
So during the period when he ascended the throne, he could be said to have been through gritting his teeth and forcing him to survive. Now, seeing that the political situation is stable and the most critical moment has passed, he is ready to give up the ball at the first time.
Fortunately, Huangfu Chongzhi got a son, otherwise, it would be that the sky of the sky that has been passed down for 1,400 years would really change its name and surname.
"Uncle, don't make things difficult. There is actually another solution to this matter. At that time, even if everyone doesn't agree, they will have to pinch their noses and accept it." Huangfu Chongzhi looked at Xu Ji and smiled slightly, saying: "I can refine various elixirs, among which one is one. After taking it, I will fall into a state of fake death. No matter how smart doctors in this world can't see the flaws..."
Xu Ji was completely speechless at this time. This was also considered as the new emperor who had grown up. He was tired of the throne so much that he could even think of a method of pretending to die. It seemed that he really told him that if he didn't agree, he would even give up and run away...
"This... is this really Huangfu Haoran's seed?" This thought suddenly appeared in Xu Ji's mind.
Xu Luo murmured from the side: "If you want to die suddenly, others will definitely be the first to suspect my father... You can't die randomly."
Huangfu Chongzhi twitched slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not dead, but I am determined to continue doing this emperor! You don't know that since I became this emperor, I have no time to refine elixirs!"
Xu Ji and Xu Su both looked speechless, but it was also obvious that Huangfu Chongzhi was not a joke, he was serious.
With a long sigh, Xu Ji glanced at the eldest son Xu Su beside him and said with a solemn look: "Xu Su, look, my father's position is too high and his power is too heavy. If he participates in the government, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others. So... this is the matter of educating the young emperor... Ahem, my father will give you this difficult task!"
"Other, dad...you are my real dad, and my son wants to practice too!" Xu Su wanted to resist.
"Nonsense, of course I am your real father! Humph, this matter is decided! Remember, in the future, you will be the imperial teacher! If the little emperor doesn't learn well, I will look for you first!" Xu Ji snorted in his nostrils and said unreasonably.
Xu Su was crying and she couldn't cry: "Why don't you look for your second brother?"
Xu Luo rolled his eyes from the side: "Second brother said he is very busy!"
An unreliable new emperor and three even more unreliable top-level powerful people have determined the empire's route for at least a few decades in the future. If their conversation spreads, it will definitely scare a large group of people to death.
In this world, there is really such a person who has no desire for power? It is hard for outsiders to imagine.
But if a sect hears it, it will probably understand that once you step into the sect of cultivation, you will be separated from the immortals and mortals from now on, and the things in the world will be like clouds.
In the fourth month after the palace coup, the new emperor Fu Chongzhi announced the world, abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, and handed over the throne to the crown prince... Huangfu Hongzhi, who was less than one year old.
The Zhongyong Hou Xu Su was the teacher of the new emperor and assisted the new emperor.
As soon as this news came out, the entire sky was in an uproar, which caused an uproar unexpectedly. At the same time, Xu Luo's family was pushed to the forefront, red to the point of purple, but also became the target of public criticism!
Because such powerful ministers are rare in ancient and modern times, and almost no one who holds such a heavy power will have a good ending.
Excessive power will confuse people's eyes and blind people's hearts. In the end, it will fall into the pool of blood in the struggle for power.
Fortunately, the news that Xu Ji refused to be emperor had spread throughout the sky. Although countless people jumped out to accuse the Xu family of too much power and accused Huangfu Chongzhi of being irresponsible, there were very few who dared to do anything.
But in private, it will be in trouble for a while, which is inevitable.
It is also the price of power change.
In Huangfu Chongzhi's words, it is better to have short pain than long pain. The best choice is to retreat while his imprint has not yet hit this ancient empire.
The last major thing Huangfu Chongzhi did before abdicating was... to examine Wei Feng!
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Xu Ji was sitting in the middle, with Sun Yunpeng and Zhao Wenzhao on the left and right. Xu Luo stood beside him, leaning against a pillar, with his expression seemingly leisurely, but deep in his eyes, he was filled with sadness.
He will never forget the scene of Tang Yong and Li Yu, two iron-blooded men, roaring and crying in their faces; he will never forget the vivid lives in their mouths, like scrolls of paintings, and he will never forget everything the Yuan brothers have given for revenge.
In contrast, the involvement my father was not that important in Xu Luo's opinion.
For the sake of his own selfishness, he actually did such a conscience. I wonder if Wei Feng has felt guilty about this over the years.
Or, in the eyes of Wei Xiang, who was in power, those vivid lives were just a set of meaningless numbers in his eyes.
"Wei Feng, did you do the case in Wansong Town in the past?" Xu Ji's eyes fell on Wei Feng's face, wearing prison uniforms and disheveled hair.
Wei Feng smiled dejectedly, raised his head, stared at the three people sitting on it, and a faint sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse: "Yes, it was me. In order to suppress your Xu family, I joined forces with the then Fengyue Tower owner Leng Yulian to set up that plan. Hao Liancheng also cooperated very well, haha."
Bang!
Xu Ji slapped the table and made a loud noise, which scared everyone.
Xu Ji looked at Wei Feng with cold eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that you admitted so easily. Do you... don't you feel guilty about what you have done at all? So many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in the plot of their own people. Wei Feng... do you know your guilt!"
