"Xie … Xie Tian has gone mad?"
The hall was filled with exclamations.
The Lone Evil Granny looked at Mo Shaocong in a daze, seeking an answer. pbx.m
Mo Shaocong was startled as well. He stood up and glared at the governor, shouting coldly, "Nonsense, Xie Tian …"
The governor said sternly, "Official Mo, don't lie to yourself. Speaking of Xie Tian's madness, you were the first to discover it!"
The moment he said this, the three cabinet ministers beside Mo Shaocong stood up in shock and angrily rebuked, "The Crown Prince has placed a gag order on this matter. Which audacious person told you this!"
"Of course it's the loyal ones who are worried about the Jin dynasty!" The governor raised his head proudly.
Xie Guan smiled sinisterly and stepped forward, shouting, "Official Mo, three sirs, you still want to hide such a serious matter from us? What are your intentions?"
"We …"
"Shut up, all of you!"
The Lone Evil Granny was in tears. She grabbed Mo Shaocong and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me, has Xie Tian gone mad?"
Mo Shaocong struggled for a while and sighed heavily, "I entered the Heavenly Prison yesterday to tell Xie Tian about the chaos in the Jin dynasty. Who would have guessed that Xie Tian would go mad …"
"Impossible!" The Lone Evil Granny ran towards the door of the hall. "Xie Tian has such a temperament, he would never go crazy unless someone is plotting against him …"
"Lone Evil Granny, the Crown Prince has ordered the Heavenly Prison to be sealed. No one is allowed to enter!" Mo Shaocong shouted.
Wang Lang laughed coldly, "Some people really care about trifles. Now that the Jin dynasty is in danger, no one cares about the safety of a man who tried to assassinate the Emperor. Such people are laughable!"
"Wang Lang, do you have the guts to say that again?" The Lone Evil Granny's anger disappeared and she looked at Wang Lang coldly.
Wang Lang paused and retreated with a bitter smile. Tian Bo stood up and said, "Lone Demon Granny, please don't be angry. The Wang Family Head's words make sense. Whether Xie Tian is crazy or not has nothing to do with the bigger picture. The most important thing now is to help the Jin Dynasty survive this crisis. px.m”
"That's right, we know that your Hong Family wants to recruit Xie Tian as their son-in-law." Wu Ling smiled evilly, "But times have changed, I hope that Lone Demon Granny can look at the bigger picture!"
"Hahahaha!" The Lone Evil Granny was so angry that she laughed. "Everyone has the right to talk about the big picture. Only the four of you are not qualified!"
Xie Guan shouted in a dark voice, "Humph, Elder Yi, you say that we are selfish, but aren't you also trying to win over Xie Tian? The words' wealthy son-in-law 'have long spread throughout Heaven Awaken City! "
"You …"
"Enough!"
Mo Shaocong could not hold it in any longer. He slammed the table and roared, "All of you, quiet down!"
"Alright, this is an important place for the Imperial Court. I will bear with it." The Lone Evil Granny looked at Xie Guan and laughed coldly. "But my Hong Family will not let this matter rest!"
Xie Guan snickered, gave another prefect a look, and then closed his evil eyes.
"Four Sirs!" The prefect who received Xie Guan's signal stood out and said solemnly, "We all know that even if we start a war with the five states, even if our Jin Dynasty does not win, we will not be defeated. But if we start a war, it will be the billions of citizens of the Jin Dynasty who will suffer!"
"That's true, our Jin Dynasty is invincible, but there is no need for us to fight this muddled war. Moreover, I do not believe that the nine states alliance schemed against His Majesty and was possessed by the Onyx Soul. We cannot listen to Xie Tian's side of the story!"
"Whether or not Xie Tian is crazy is not the main point. The main point is how to resolve the crisis of the Jin Dynasty!"
…
The hundreds of prefects spoke up one by one. The hall immediately became noisy.
Many of the officials of the imperial court agreed with these people when they heard the moderate words of these people.
If the God Emperor was here, they would not be afraid of the Jin Dynasty's current predicament.
Now that Shenshao had been killed and the new Emperor had not been born, the Jin Dynasty's prestige was greatly reduced. The situation was unstable and they were not prepared for a war. Under such circumstances, the Nine States' God Execution had hit the Jin Dynasty's weak spot.
Fight? Sure, the people of the Jin Dynasty were arrogant. At most, they would fight hastily and both sides would suffer. But was that the best outcome?
Was it worth it to do this for a crazy genius?
As time passed, the majority of the people's hearts slowly tilted towards not fighting. Realizing this, Xie Guan and the other three looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.
It's time to end this!
"Sirs, listen to me."
Xie Guan walked out and said loudly, "First, Xie Tian assassinated His Majesty because he was possessed. Let's not talk about whether it's true or not, just confirming this will cause great harm to the Jin Dynasty. How can the God Emperor in the future dominate the Nine States?"
"Second, now the Five States and the Holy Zhi Palace are using the name of the Jin Dynasty to ask for an explanation. The slightest mistake will cause chaos in the Nine States, and the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. To avoid this disaster, anything is worth doing!"
"Third," Xie Guan said with a cold smile, "it doesn't matter whether Xie Tian is crazy or not. Didn't he boast about his loyalty to the Jin Dynasty? Now for the stability of the Jin Dynasty, he can die. He can show his loyalty and also resolve the crisis of the Jin Dynasty. Why not? "
"Utterly shameless, utterly shameless!"
The Lonely Spirit Granny's eyes were red with anger. She pointed at Xie Guan and scolded, "Xie Tian is more important to the Jin Dynasty than the four of you combined. You do all kinds of things for your own selfish desires, but you let Xie Tian shoulder the responsibility of righteousness. You are scum!"
Wang Lang sneered and stepped forward, "Lonely Spirit Granny, before you speak, you better look around."
The Lonely Spirit Granny was shocked and quickly looked around the hall. She saw that most of the people in the hall were deep in thought, and their faces turned pale.
What were they thinking about?
It was Xie Guan's words!
The reason why they thought about it was because they agreed with him!
"No, you can't do this. Xie Tian is innocent, and he can't die like this!" The Lonely Spirit Granny suddenly panicked. "I will go find His Highness now!"
"Haha!" Xie Guan waved his sleeves and strode forward. "We are also going to see His Highness!"
There were still four hours before Shen Shao's funeral. The officials walked into the meeting hall where Shen Feng was.
Shen Feng clearly saw the fear on the Lonely Spirit Granny's face when she entered the hall.
He understood that it was Xie Guan and the other three's coercion that worked.
Mo Shaocong, with a complicated expression, told everything that had happened. He then retreated into the crowd and stood there silently.
Shen Feng stood up and looked at the crowd coldly. He said in Silence, "The person who leaked the news of Xie Tian's madness, step forward."
Xie Guan and the other three almost vomited when they heard this. But they found that Shen Feng's eyes were fixed on them. They were shocked.
"Too shameless. He said it himself, but he wants us to step forward!"
"Only we are qualified to cooperate with him and put on a show of self-injury …"
"Forget it. As long as Xie Tian can die, I don't care. Master Wu, it's time for you to perform!"
…
Wu Ling hesitated for a moment and stood up silently. He half-knelt on the ground and said sternly, "Your Highness, I don't want the court to …"
"Du Jiang!" Shen Feng interrupted him with a cold shout.
"I'm here."
"Wu Ling disobeyed the Crown Prince's order. Two hundred strokes of the cane. Execute him immediately!"
"Yes!"
Under the sound of the cane, Shen Feng's cold voice sounded again in the hall. "I said, if you want to kill Xie Tian, unless the Jin dynasty is destroyed, this matter will not happen again …"
"Your Highness!" Xie Guan stood up with a sad expression and bowed. "We know that Your Highness and Xie Tian are close friends, but we ask Your Highness to prioritize national affairs. Don't …"
Shen Feng said lightly, "Xie Guan, two hundred strokes of the cane. Execute him immediately!"
Wang Lang and Tianbo looked at each other. They gritted their teeth and stood up together. "Your Highness, even if you beat us to death, we ask Your Highness to prioritize national affairs. Don't …"
"Four hundred strokes of the cane. Execute him!" Shen Feng's face suddenly turned livid. He glanced at the crowd coldly. "Does anyone else want to speak?"
