Chapter 26: The Emperor and His Ministers Have Met with the Time (26)

Shen Minghuan looked serious and said in surprise, "Why would I tease you?"

He sighed in his heart with regret. Now even Chen Xiaoyu was not easy to fool.

After a lot of hesitation, Shen Minghuan actually planned to take them out to block people.

Chen Xiaoyu didn't understand. If he really wanted to chase them, why did he let them go just now? Could it be that the lord still had a childlike heart and wanted to play cat and mouse?

Until he was in a hidden alley outside the palace, looking at Luo Xiuyuan, Chang Mao, He Zhang, Qu Zhengcheng, Gu Chenglin and others who were surrounded, especially Luo Xiuyuan, he nodded thoughtfully.

It turned out that the drunkard's intention was not to drink. The lord was worthy of being the lord.

The alley was narrow and could not accommodate many people. The army brought by Shen Minghuan meandered from the inside of the alley to the outside, and formed a dark area behind him.

There was a sense of overwhelming oppression.

Luo Xiuyuan and others were blocked in the innermost part and had no way to escape.

Shen Minghuan's eyes swept over these people one by one, paused for a moment at the wooden box in Luo Xiuyuan's hand, shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, I'm late again."

Chen Xiaoyu secretly complained, if you hadn't insisted on going to the Imperial Garden to see the rare purple tangerine first, you wouldn't have come so late.

"Have you all heard what He Zhang said?" He asked with a frank face and a calm tone.

Gu Chenglin snorted heavily, mixed with disdain and resentment, but didn't say anything.

He is Luo Xiuyuan's uncle and even more Luo Xiuyuan's supporter. If the master hasn't spoken, there is no reason for him to speak.

Luo Xiuyuan was silent for a while. He had learned that Shen Minghuan killed his father and brother, but strangely, he didn't seem to hate this person as much as he imagined.

He looked at the wooden box in his hand, which contained a jade seal. This is a priceless treasure and a symbol of the supremacy of Daqi.

Luo Xiuyuan asked in a low voice: "Are you going to kill me?"

"How could that be?" Shen Minghuan said gently: "You are the heir to the people of Daqi. If I kill you, the pillars of the country will probably hit their heads and die in the hall."

Shen Minghuan showed a deliberate compassionate look, which was so fake that it made people feel that his IQ was mocked. He said with great sorrow: "If this happens, Qi Dynasty will be in chaos."

After all, the capable ministers are dead, what is the point of the court? To raise termites?

What's more, these ministers have pleaded for the people for many years. If Shen Minghuan forced them to death, he would have to deal with the hidden dangers of boiling public resentment for the rest of his life.

"Although I'm not afraid, I don't like trouble. More importantly..." He took a few steps forward slowly, his eyebrows curved, "Your Highness, I will never hurt you."

"How about this, you will be the emperor and I will be the regent; you will enjoy the glory and I will be in power, how about that?"

"No!" Qu Zhengcheng couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Shen Che, you want to be the regent, does Shen Changqing know?"

Shen Minghuan immediately showed a disgusted expression: "You are so old, why do you still want to complain to my grandfather?"

Shen Minghuan ignored the others after he finished speaking. He looked at Luo Xiuyuan and said impatiently: "Have you thought about it?"

He thought that although Luo Xiuyuan was weak and kind, and seemed easy to talk to, he actually had a proud character and would definitely not agree. At that time, he would...

"I agree." Luo Xiuyuan said.

Shen Minghuan paused and confirmed doubtfully: "What did you say? Do you agree?"

Gu Chenglin was also incredulous. He was a tough soldier who would rather die than surrender. Just as he was about to express his opposition, he was stepped on hard by Qu Zhengcheng on the side.

Qu Zhengcheng hurriedly whispered: "As long as the green mountains are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood. Even if you don't want to die, you have to think about His Highness."

He sneered at Shen Minghuan's words "It's impossible to harm you."

Gu Chenglin opened his mouth, but still remained silent unwillingly.

He Zhang didn't speak either. He hated Shen Minghuan so much that he vowed to tear this man into pieces, but it was undeniable that he was more relaxed than ever at this moment.

He had been kidnapped by that casual favor for too long, forced to help the tyrant, forced to betray justice, forced to sleep and eat... so much so that at this moment he was even somewhat grateful for the death of the emperor.

He Zhang had a hidden expectation in his heart. He hoped to assist a wise monarch, and Luo Xiuyuan was the best candidate, so he didn't speak.

First, he had to survive, even if he became a puppet for a while.

There was a long time to come, and he would protect and help him at all costs until the prosperous and peaceful times.

I didn't know what Luo Xiuyuan was thinking, but it was easier for him to agree than to disagree, and Shen Minghuan wasn't afraid of traps anyway.

"A man who knows the current situation is a hero, a wise decision, Your Highness." Shen Minghuan nodded with satisfaction.

*

Shen Minghuan brought a large group of people back to the palace in the name of escort, but in fact it was an escort. Li Chengzhuo and Zhuo Feichen were looking forward to it.

All this happened quickly. By the time they found out the cause of the incident, Shen Minghuan had already killed the emperor. When they hurried to the palace, Shen Minghuan happened to be out to catch someone.

In order to avoid passing by again, there was the current scene.

Li Chengzhuo was relieved when he saw them. He went to meet them and asked, "Ming Huan, is everything going well? Are you not hurt?"

After he asked, he felt something was wrong and shook his head with a chuckle, "I said it wrong. With Ming Huan's ability, he will not be hurt."

Zhuo Feichen pretended not to see the angry look of his friend Qu Zhengcheng. Anyway, Ming Huan could not do anything to them, so there was no need to worry at all.

He rubbed his hands like a fly and asked expectantly: "Ming Huan, can you be the emperor now?"

Qu Zhengcheng had instinctively kept a cold face and indifference in the presence of outsiders, but he couldn't pretend anymore at this moment, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, almost wanting to jump up and hit him: "Zhuo Feichen, I really misjudged you, you are an accomplice to the tiger, you are shameless, you, you are more blind than He Zhang!"

He Zhang: "..."

Zhuo Feichen was also angry, rolled up his sleeves and cursed at him: "Qu Zhengcheng, you are an idiot, I don't have any opinion on the people you are loyal to, what right do you have to scold my master?"

Shen Minghuan took out a folding fan from his sleeve and knocked on Zhuo Feichen, "Watch your words."

He said righteously: "Zhuo Feichen, respect His Majesty."

Zhuo Feichen was stunned, he retracted his threatening hands, and asked puzzledly: "What about you?"

"I'll be the regent." Shen Minghuan said

Before Zhuo Feichen spoke, Li Chengzhuo's face darkened. He asked, "Why?"

Overthrowing Daqi and the alternation of the old and new dynasties will cause turmoil for a period of time, but what is the problem for Shen Minghuan? He can always solve it.

After entering the pass, there are great scholars in Jiangnan who interpret the scriptures.

If Shen Minghuan is the emperor, what he did today is to follow the will of heaven and save all living beings from danger.

If he can become a wise ruler, thousands of years later, regicide and usurpation will be a good story that people will talk about with relish.

But the premise is that Shen Minghuan can become the final winner in the history books.

Li Chengzhuo knows he can.

"Why?" Li Chengzhuo stared at Shen Minghuan tightly, stubbornly asking for an answer.

Shen Minghuan said that he didn't want to be an emperor, but since he didn't like power struggles, he should stay away from them. Why did he have to get involved and refuse to protect himself?

The position of regent may seem glorious, but it hangs high above the abyss. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.

Because of the presence of outsiders, Li Chengzhuo was not convenient to explain too clearly. He pursed his lips and restrained his anger: "You know what I want to ask."

Even if he had reasons to become the regent, he could have supported a more incompetent prince. There was no need to leave Luo Xiuyuan, who would cause endless trouble.

The smile on Shen Minghuan's face disappeared little by little, and his voice became cold: "Prince Li, are you meddling too much?"

The system's heart "clicked" and it realized that Shen Minghuan was really a little angry, even though this person knew that Li Chengzhuo was actually worried about him.

Shen Minghuan's stubborn temper was indulged by all the subjects of Xinghe. He didn't like being questioned and forced, and didn't like being pointed at - even if the other party was full of good intentions.

He had to show his displeasure when he was angry, without considering that as a leader, he should "not show his emotions".

[Host, don't be angry, don't be angry, just talk to him nicely.] The system persuaded him in a soft voice. It knew that Shen Minghuan's anger was weak. As long as Li Chengzhuo gave in, its host would regard the matter as over.

After being together for so long, the system is no longer as afraid of this host as it was at the beginning. In its eyes, Shen Minghuan is now just a child who is arrogant because of his ability.

He believes that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He is the best in the world, so he has the responsibility to protect everyone in the world. Of course, he is so powerful, so there is no need to explain to others.

The system sighed, it's difficult.

If its host was willing to spend some time to perfunctory others, he would not be here now, but still in Xinghe, continuing to be his willful king.

But thinking of Shen Minghuan's brilliant past and looking at the present, the system felt a little distressed.

It thought to itself, the host is amazing, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant? It is clear that the people in Xinghe don't trust the host enough, anyway, it is not the host's fault.
