Chapter 601 Demoted to Commoner
Chapter 601 Demoted to Commoner
Dali Temple.
Xuanyuan Jing had long known that the issue of rebellion was a topic he could not avoid.
So he had already thought of an excuse.
"That was because the Prince of Zhennan was determined to raise an army, and I couldn't persuade him. And it was not my wish for Nanzhao to send troops."
Anyway, the Prince of Zhennan is dead now, so I can say whatever I want.
"Do you think that with the death of the Prince of Zhennan, there will be no one left in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion?"
Little Prince Fu decided to scare this coward who had the courage to do it but not the courage to take responsibility.
"Now those people in the Zhennan Palace, including the Zhennan Prince, are still imprisoned in the Dali Temple."
Looking at Xuanyuan Jing's obviously nervous face, Prince Fu felt extremely distressed.
"Would you like to come with me and meet them?"
"I do not want…"
Xuanyuan Jing blurted out.
Now he was extremely scared.
What was the emperor thinking? Why would he spare the lives of Prince Zhennan's family?
This rebellion is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.
Shouldn't the emperor behead them all after judging their crimes?
If the Prince of Zhennan was still alive, then his own words would become a joke.
Because when he went to the Prince of Zhennan's mansion and encouraged the Prince of Zhennan to start a rebellion, the Prince of Zhennan was also present.
The emperor spared their lives, perhaps waiting for me to return to the capital so that he could punish me.
The more Xuanyuan Jing thought about it, the more scared she became.
"The Prince of Zhennan heard that you would come back, but he has been waiting for you."
Little Prince Fu continued to scare Xuanyuan Jing.
In fact, except for the prince who was beheaded, everyone else in the Zhennan Palace had already been sentenced to exile.
Now they have arrived at the place of exile.
But Xuanyuan Jing didn’t know.
Seeing his guilty look, no one would believe him when he said he did not participate in the rebellion of Prince Zhennan's Palace.
"Why, you don't dare to go over and confront him?"
The young Prince Fu was sarcastic towards Xuanyuan Jing.
"That prince heard that his sister died, but he really wants to ask you the reason."
Hearing what Prince Fu said, Xuanyuan Jing became even more frightened.
"That bitch Lin Huishan, she's already dead before I even got revenge on her, and they still dare to ask me the reason?"
Although Xuanyuan Jing was very scared in her heart, she still spoke stubbornly.
"People like you really deserve to die."
Little Prince Fu was too lazy to argue with this hypocritical beast.
Did he think that no one knew what he did to Lin Huishan?
As long as Xuanyuan Jing walks out of the Dali Temple.
He has ten thousand ways to kill this beast.
"It's a good thing that Emperor Nan Zhao still cares about your situation. He loves you with all his heart and soul. He even sacrificed his ancestral foundation for you. What about you?"
Little Prince Fu looked at Xuanyuan Jing with disdain.
"You never mentioned a word about him from beginning to end. It's no exaggeration to say that you are a beast."
Seeing Xuanyuan Jing stunned by his scolding, Prince Fu finally felt a little relieved.
He had already anticipated the fate of this beast.
When everyone is disappointed in him, that will be the day of his death.
"The Emperor's decree will be here tomorrow, so you'll have to take care of yourself."
Prince Fu felt that letting Xuanyuan Jing fend for herself was also for the sake of the fact that they all had the surname Xuanyuan.
This was his last kindness to Xuanyuan Jing.
Seeing the young Prince Fu getting up to leave, Xuanyuan Jing became extremely angry.
"Xuanyuanze, you didn't even enter the palace. You didn't even meet my father, right?"
He panted and questioned the little Prince Fu.
"This is all a plot between you and the Emperor, right? You're hiding it from my father and want to kill me, right?"
In Xuanyuan Jing's mind, Xuanyuan Ze said that there would be an imperial edict tomorrow, which would sentence him to death.
How could he be willing to die in such a cowardly way?
Don't say he is afraid of death, he is extremely afraid of it.
"I really should ask the Emperor's uncle to come over and see what you look like now."
Prince Fu ignored the self-righteous beast.
He will have plenty of time in the future to waste time with this inhuman beast.
the next day.
Xiao Yinzi came to read out the emperor's edict.
The imperial edict clearly stated that Xuanyuan Jing instigated Prince Zhennan to rebel and should be punished by death.
But considering the retired emperor's plea for him, the emperor pardoned his death sentence and only demoted him to a commoner.
To be honest, Xuanyuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xiao Yinzi read the imperial edict.
He had previously thought that the emperor would kill him and that he would not be able to survive.
He didn't expect that he could still have a chance to escape. This was a pleasant surprise.
So he happily followed Xiao Yinzi out of the Dali Temple and came to a small courtyard prepared for him by the emperor.
This small courtyard is not big, but the things inside have been prepared in advance.
All he had to do was buy a few servants and he could settle down.
It can be said that as long as he doesn't do anything naughty in the future, his life will be quite good.
Because the emperor has already said that someone will send him 100 taels of silver every month from now on.
This one hundred taels of silver is not a small sum of money, enough for him to live a comfortable life in the capital.
Seven days after Song Yu arrived in the capital, he was personally taken to the imperial study by Eunuch Yu.
Of course, when the former emperor meets the current emperor, the atmosphere is a little awkward.
Fortunately, there is little Prince Fu, who is good at livening up the atmosphere.
Song Yu is a commoner now, and he must kneel and kowtow when he meets the emperor.
As a former king, Song Yu was also worshipped by the people.
Asking him to kneel down and kowtow now is indeed a bit embarrassing.
Huang Ye also mentioned this to the emperor in advance, so when Song Yu pretended to kneel down.
The emperor took the lead and helped him up.
Song Yu, who already had a good impression of the Emperor of Great Xia, admired the emperor's demeanor even more.
Now, the slightest bit of unwillingness in his heart had completely disappeared.
The Emperor of Great Xia has the bearing of a wise ruler of a great country.
He did not mock or humiliate his former defeated opponent, but treated him with courtesy.
He didn't even let him report to the court, making the court officials laugh at him.
In this way, he quietly integrated into the capital and became an ordinary civilian in this capital.
The emperor was so considerate that he gave him seven days to completely settle down before sending someone to bring him into the palace.
Under the rule of such a wise ruler, there is no need to worry that Nanzhao will not prosper in the future.
"Mr. Song, Madam Song, the emperor asked Eunuch Yu to bring you into the palace. He has no other intentions. Please don't be restrained."
Little Prince Fu picked up the teacup in his hand and smiled to liven up the atmosphere.
"Try it, both of you. This is the tea made from the tea leaves of our Great Xia Dynasty. See if it is different from the tea of your Nan Zhao Dynasty?"
Song Yu picked up the teacup and took a deep breath.
The refreshing tea fragrance made him feel much more relaxed.
Not to mention the clear tea, it really leaves an endless aftertaste in your mouth.
“Good tea…good tea.”
Song Yu praised repeatedly.
This is not a lie, he truly fell in love with this kind of tea from the Great Xia Dynasty.
