Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't say anything and just looked at her straight, Jiang Wan'er's eyes flashed and she said, "Zhao Hao, you disappoint me so much!"
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Your Majesty, shouldn't I be the one saying this?"
He didn't want to say anything more, but at this moment he couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, I just can't understand why you know that everything I did was because of you."
"If there was someone else sitting on the throne, I wouldn't care about anything."
"I will just be a useless salted fish."
"To me, titles and honors are nothing worth mentioning."
"Until now, I still can't figure out why you did this to me."
"If you say that Xie Daoxun let me go because of this time, I can understand."
"After all, people's words are scary, and I need to give an explanation to many people."
"but……"
Having said that, Zhao Hao laughed at himself, shook his head, and simply stopped talking.
Jiang Wan'er said calmly: "Why don't you continue?"
Zhao Hao shook his head again: "I don't want to talk about it anymore!"
Jiang Wan'er looked at Qing Xing beside her and said, "Take Zhao Hao to the prison and wait for his fate."
After saying that, without even looking at Zhao Hao, he turned around and walked back to the car.
Zhao Hao was taken to the Heavenly Prison, accompanied by more than thirty guards.
A sleepless night.
The next day, at the court meeting, the news that Zhao Hao wanted to escape had become known to everyone.
The spokespeople of those wealthy and powerful families finally had a chance to fight back against Zhao Hao.
One by one, the ministers demanded that Zhao Hao must be severely punished.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Hao committed the crime of colluding with a foreign country. You showed him leniency before and only stripped him of his title and imprisoned him. But now, he has shown no regard for the emperor's grace. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Zhao Hao is a man who is arrogant because of his talent. He has received Your Majesty's great favor and is the current emperor's consort, but he has no intention of repaying his loyalty. Such a villain should be beheaded to serve as a warning to others!"
"Your Majesty, if Zhao Hao is not beheaded, how can the law be enforced?"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
"Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"
“…”
In an instant, the call for Zhao Hao to be beheaded immediately spread throughout the court.
Zhao Wenxiang's face looked extremely ugly. He did not expect that Zhao Hao would not be able to escape.
This has led to the current situation.
There was no sign of fluctuation on Jiang Waner's face.
Her eyes fell on Zhao Wenxiang.
"Zhao Qing, what do you think?"
Zhao Wenxiang immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this is about my son, so I cannot say more!"
Jiang Wan'er said calmly: "It's okay, Zhao Qing, just speak frankly!"
Zhao Wenxiang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, there is no solid evidence so far to prove that Zhao Hao is colluding with foreign countries."
"Secondly, please spare Zhao Hao's life for all the contributions he has made to the country and to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Wan'er did not comment on what Zhao Wenxiang said.
Instead, he set his eyes on the leading Zuo Xiang: "Zuo Xiang, what do you think?"
The left prime minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what the historian said is also reasonable!"
"Although Zhao Hao's official position is not high, his influence is not small."
“Especially in the military.”
"In addition, he is the cultural source of our great cause. He is the literary star from heaven who has descended to earth!"
"If we execute him lightly, I'm afraid it will discourage scholars all over the world."
"It will also make the soldiers feel that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked."
"Moreover, as the Internal History Master said, if we only rely on what happened within the territory of Wu, we cannot really convict him of collusion with a foreign country."
"Therefore, my opinion is that it would be better to imprison him in the Sky Prison first!"
Jiang Wan'er's eyes suddenly flashed when she heard this.
"oh?"
The left prime minister's words not only surprised Jiang Wan'er, but also surprised all the ministers.
In theory, Zhao Hao had offended the other party before.
Moreover, when striking down on the aristocratic and powerful families, they offended quite severely.
Now, the Left Prime Minister did not even request his execution.
It was really unexpected.
Jiang Wan'er pondered for a moment and said, "Then, what about Zhao Hao's attempt to escape last night?"
Many ministers did not answer.
Because the left prime minister has expressed his position.
These people did not dare to speak out against the Left Prime Minister.
Seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Wan'er continued, "If it was not clear before that Zhao Hao was colluding with foreign countries, then after what happened last night, in my opinion, it can be confirmed!"
"therefore……"
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and pretended to listen attentively.
Then, Jiang Wan'er said coldly: "Therefore, I will follow your advice this time and sentence Zhao Hao..."
"In three days, he will be executed immediately!"
boom!
As the three words "behead immediately" came out of her mouth, Zhao Wenxiang immediately felt a buzzing in his head.
It was like a thunder from the nine heavens exploding in my head.
His face turned pale in an instant, and his heart fell into the abyss.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Wan'er who was standing high above him.
His eyes were already full of bloodshot.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan'er frowned slightly and said indifferently: "Zhao Qing, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Wenxiang took a deep breath, then slowly took off his official hat from his head.
He said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am now somewhat exhausted and unable to manage the Internal Affairs Office any longer."
"Now, I resign from the position of Internal History, and please, Your Majesty, choose another candidate!"
Jiang Wan'er frowned even more deeply when she heard this, but she still nodded and said calmly, "Okay, I... agree!"
boom!
Zhao Wenxiang felt a loud bang in his head, as if the nine-day mysterious thunder had exploded in his brain.
His face was pale. He slowly bent down, put his official hat on the ground, then took off his court robes, folded them, and placed them at his feet.
Immediately, he turned and walked out of the hall.
As they watched him leave, there was no sound in the entire hall, not even a pin drop could be heard.
Zhao Wenxiang suddenly seemed to have aged by dozens of years.
…
After court, in the Pepper Room.
Prince Kang stood in front of Jiang Wan'er with a grim expression.
Jiang Wan'er asked, "Uncle, are you going to plead for Zhao Hao?"
King Kang said anxiously: "Your Majesty, beheading Zhao Hao will be a huge loss to our Dagan!"
"Please think twice!"
Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and said, "Uncle, others don't understand me, don't you understand me either?"
"Zhao Hao, his ability is really great!"
"Now, there are signs of collusion with foreign countries. How old is he now?"
"Do you want me to be on guard against him for the rest of my life?"
"Of course I understand that he may not have reached that point now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
"As long as he exists, I will be worried."
"Such a terrifying existence..."
"I will never allow it!"
