122. Chapter 122 It’s time for a bedtime story



Mu Nanjin nodded: "Oh."

Captain Liu and the others pricked up their ears, waiting for her inner voice to reveal her next plan so that they could stop her as soon as possible. However, her inner voice did not reveal even a single bit of information.

After finishing his shift, Mu Nanjin went straight back to the Mu Mansion.

Captain Liu went to the house that Heitan bought and found his son Liu Qian. "Qian'er, did Mu Nanjin tell you what tasks to do today?"

Liu Qian looked at him without saying anything.

Captain Liu was puzzled by his stare: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"Dad, you once said that I would rather betray you than betray Mu Nanjin, so I won't tell you."

Even if Mu Nanjin did not assign the task, Liu Qian would not tell his father.

"you……"

Captain Liu was so angry that he wanted to beat his son.

He really shot himself in the foot.

Then, Captain Liu laughed, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You are great."

Since I couldn't get any information, I had no choice but to leave.

That night, when everyone went to bed, they suddenly heard a woman's cold voice in their ears.

〖It's time for a bedtime story.〗

The person who was originally trying to sleep was startled and became extremely awake.

"What's that noise?"

"Why is there a woman's voice in my room?"

"Is there a ghost?"

Only the officials knew that it was Mu Nanjin's voice.

Captain Liu, who was already lying on the bed, sat up suddenly. Madam Liu beside him also sat up in fear and leaned against him: "My husband, how come there is a girl's voice in our room?"

Liu Qianhu looked at her in surprise: "You can hear the sound too?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Captain Liu: “…”

This means that the voice just now was not Mu Nanjin’s true voice.

At the same time, in the imperial study, the emperor, who was still reviewing memorials, stopped writing immediately upon hearing Mu Nanjin's voice, stood up, walked to the door and asked, "Did you hear Mu Nanjin's voice?"

Commander Meng, who was in charge of the night watch, said, "I heard it."

The emperor looked at him in surprise: "Did you hear it too?"

"Yes."

Tian Yuan, who was hiding on the roof, said, "It was a voice transmission."

The emperor's eyes flashed with doubt: "Voice transmission?"

Tian Yuan explained: "Voice transmission can allow everyone to hear her words, or specify a certain person to hear her voice. It can also transmit the voice to a very far place, such as from Daqian Kingdom to Dachen Kingdom. All of this depends on how the voice transmitter controls it."

The emperor and his men looked incredulous: "Can it be transmitted from Daqian to Dachen? Can it be transmitted to such a far place?"

〖The protagonist of tonight's story is Cheng Zhiyou, the founding general of the Daqian Kingdom and King Wu'an.〗

All the officials were startled and quickly sat up and listened carefully.

〖In the chaotic times, when Cheng Zhiyou was still a teenager, he met the late emperor while wandering around the world. Not only did they travel together, doing chivalrous deeds along the way, they also became brothers of the opposite sex. It can be said that their relationship is closer than that of brothers, and they even swore together to work together to quell the chaotic times.〗

〖After that, they spent fifteen years to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, but there are two generals in the army, one is the late emperor, and the other is Cheng Zhiyou. Cheng Zhiyou, who is a martial arts fanatic, often mingle with the soldiers and often takes the soldiers to help the people build houses and cultivate land, which is very popular among the people.〗

There is a saying that goes: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Cheng Zhiyou became the candidate for the emperor, but he had no intention of becoming emperor. He believed that the emperor should be someone who knew how to govern the country. However, he only liked to practice martial arts and knew nothing about state affairs. He had no ambitions, so he gave the throne to the late emperor.

〖The late emperor had long wanted to be the emperor. When he received the throne, he was happy, but deep down he felt very unhappy. He felt that the throne was given to him by Cheng Zhiyou. The people's strong support for Cheng Zhiyou made him a little jealous. The rift in the brotherhood began at this time. Fortunately, Cheng Zhiyou had no intention of entering politics, which allowed the late emperor to slowly let down his guard.〗

〖Apart from the late emperor's minor selfishness, he was also a good king. He was diligent and conscientious, and he knew how to appoint the right people to the right positions. He also learned from Cheng Zhiyou to go deep into the lower classes and sympathize with the sufferings of the people. Gradually, the people began to praise this emperor.〗

〖However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, all aspects were not stable. Some people even wanted to take advantage of the unstable national situation to seize the throne and colluded with other countries, but the matter was still exposed and Cheng Zhiyou discovered their plot. In order to get rid of suspicion, these people tried every means to put the blame on Cheng Zhiyou.〗

〖At that time, the late emperor was over 50 years old and held a high position. He was increasingly suspicious and always felt that someone was trying to harm him. Therefore, when he heard that Cheng Zhiyou had betrayed the country and collaborated with the enemy, he was half-believing and half-doubting. In addition, some people often spoke ill of Cheng Zhiyou in the late emperor's ear, and people made up songs praising Cheng Zhiyou, which aroused the late emperor's jealousy and caused the rift in their former brotherhood to widen again. Finally, the late emperor wanted to kill Cheng Zhiyou.〗

〖Those who wanted to kill Cheng Zhiyou took advantage of the rift between the late emperor and Cheng Zhiyou, and fabricated evidence and witnesses to frame Cheng Zhiyou. When the late emperor learned of this, he did not investigate it carefully and determined that Cheng Zhiyou was guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. Poor King Wu'an was sentenced to a heavy sentence of nine clans, and more than 600 lives died under the machete, including newborn babies.〗

〖After Cheng Zhiyou's death, the late emperor gradually regained his sanity. He knew very well that he had wrongly sentenced Cheng Zhiyou. He felt guilty and in pain, but he did not regret it, because he felt that only when Cheng Zhiyou died could the Liang family truly sit on the throne. In order to prevent others from knowing that he had wrongly sentenced Prince Wu'an, and in order to avoid being criticized by the people, he issued an order not to overturn the case of Prince Wu'an.〗

〖However, King Wu'an, who had made many contributions to the Great Qian Kingdom, should not have died for treason and collaborating with the enemy. More than 600 innocent souls should be redeemed. Those officials who had received the favor of King Wu'an, do you still want to continue to endure it? Isn't it time to stand up and vindicate King Wu'an?〗

"I have already found the witnesses and material evidence. As long as the emperor agrees to a retrial, I will immediately bring these things to the court to clear Prince Wu'an of his guilt."

Those who had received favors from King Wu'an included not only officials but also many common people. Although some of them had passed away, their descendants were still alive. When they heard that King Wu'an was wronged, they all got up and walked out of the house, and then asked each other.

"Did you hear what was just said?"

"I heard it. I felt that something was fishy back then. How could the King of Wu'an, who clearly had the opportunity to become emperor, betray his country and collaborate with the enemy? This doesn't make sense, right?"

"We were all taken care of by King Wu'an back then. If it weren't for him, we might not be alive today. We should also stand up and vindicate King Wu'an."

"Yes, we demand a retrial of the case of Prince Wu'an." (End of this chapter)
