To be honest, Yun Zheng did not agree with Miaoyin's evaluation of Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen may not be considered a wise ruler, but he is definitely not a foolish one either.
Since Emperor Wen ascended the throne, the country has been peaceful and the people have lived in peace.
The only stain that Emperor Wen could not erase was the Battle of Shuobei five years ago.
Another case is the prince's rebellion.
If the prince was indeed framed by the third brother, then he had indeed made a big mistake.
However, he only got the blood letter left by the prince by accident, and he had no idea whether the contents of the blood letter were true or false.
All I can say is that there is a great possibility!
After all, Yun Li is indeed not a good person!
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
...
...
Miaoyin was too lazy to tell Yun Zheng the reason, and said with hatred on her face: "Since you have seen through me, I never thought I could survive!"
"Why do you want to do that?"
Yun Zheng shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it good to live a good life?"
"Alive?"
Miaoyin sneered, "From the moment my nine clans were exterminated, I was already dead!"
What the hell?
Her entire clan was executed?
How serious a crime had their family committed?
Apart from the crime of treason, it should be rare for Da Gan to be executed along with his entire clan, right?
Is it treason?
There must be someone in her family who would not be involved in the prince's rebellion, right?
No wonder he wanted to assassinate his father!
This kind of deep hatred is indeed a bit unsolvable.
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, then waved to Du Guiyuan and the other two, "Alright, you can leave! I want to talk to her alone."
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
Du Guiyuan immediately persuaded.
"Yes, my lord!"
"If we let her go, she will definitely harm the prince!"
Zuo Ren and Yu Shizhong also followed suit to persuade him.
"fine."
Yun Zheng waved his hands, "She believes that I won't really throw her to the soldiers outside to play with, and I also believe that she won't kill me! If she wanted to kill me, she would have done it before."
“This is different!”
Du Guiyuan tried to persuade him again, "She wanted to use the prince to get close to His Majesty before! But now, she has been seen through by the prince. In order to survive, she will definitely harm the prince!"
Zuo Ren and Yu Shizhong also nodded quickly.
Different times, different circumstances.
"fine!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand, "I'm willing to take a gamble! Okay, back off!"
The three wanted to persuade him again, but Yun Zheng glared at them fiercely.
Take a gamble!
He felt that Miaoyin had no intention of killing him.
Besides, if I kill myself, Miaoyin and Mingyue will definitely have no chance of survival.
If Miaoyin had a little bit of common sense, she would not kill him. At most, she would take him as a hostage in exchange for a chance to escape.
If all else fails, the bag of lime hidden in my sleeve pocket might come in handy.
That was some left over from when he was making soap, just in case.
The three of them hesitated for a long time before letting go of Miaoyin and slowly leaving the room.
But the three of them did not dare to go far and just guarded around the room, ready to rescue Yun Zheng at any time.
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng in surprise, unable to believe that Yun Zheng dared to bet that she would not kill him.
"Sit down!"
Yun Zheng pointed to the bench opposite.
However, Miaoyin did not sit down, but looked at Yun Zheng coldly, "You seem to be overconfident! If I can't kill that tyrant, then I can only kill you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Miaoyin flashed in front of Yun Zheng and grabbed his neck.
Yun Zheng did not resist, but just let Miaoyin pinch his neck, without even a trace of fear on his face.
Miaoyin suddenly exerted force on her hands.
Yun Zheng couldn't breathe, but his face remained calm.
He wanted to put his hands into his sleeve pockets several times, but he held back.
Miaoyin was shocked, "Are you not afraid of death?"
“…”
Yun Zheng frowned and pointed at his neck.
If you want to ask me, at least let me go first!
You're pinching my neck, what can I say?
Miaoyin was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of Yun Zheng's neck.
Yun Zheng smiled in his heart, he knew that he had made the right bet.
“Ahem…”
Yun Zheng coughed a few times, and when he recovered, he said calmly, "I am afraid of death, but I believe you will not kill me."
"Why are you so sure?" Miaoyin frowned.
"Nothing, just intuition."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "You just want revenge, you don't seem like someone who would kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Miaoyin snorted coldly: "You are the son of a tyrant, you are not innocent!"
"I don't like to hear that."
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's true that I am a prince, but I don't participate in the affairs of the court now, and I never participated in them before!"
"Your entire clan was exterminated, but it has nothing to do with me, right? Why am I not innocent?"
"I'm just short of carving the word innocent on my face..."
Looking at Yun Zheng who seemed to be angry with her, Miaoyin couldn't help but be stunned.
Is he sick?
I want to kill him, and he is debating with me whether he is innocent?
"You are innocent, but aren't all of us in the clan innocent?"
Miaoyin interrupted Yun Zheng and growled with a face full of grief and indignation: "Even if my father participated in the prince's rebellion, did my mother, brother, clan members, etc. also participate in the rebellion? That tyrant king gave an order, and hundreds of my clan members were beheaded. Who should they appeal to for justice?"
have to!
Case solved!
It turned out to be the case of the prince's rebellion.
Yun Zheng could only express sympathy for her family's situation.
There is no way. No matter whether the prince voluntarily raised an army to rebel or was forced to do so, and no matter whether her father did it voluntarily or was forced, as long as he participated in it, it is treason!
Moreover, her father should be a core member of the prince's rebellion case.
As far as he knew, although the case of the prince's rebellion implicated many people and many were executed, only a few important officials in the prince's mansion and the generals who led their troops to attack the palace were actually executed.
“They are indeed quite wronged.”
Yun Zheng nodded and sighed, then asked, "Then how did you escape?"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng coldly, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Yun Zheng was speechless, "What can I get you to say?"
Is she suffering from paranoia?
Miaoyin looked stern and sneered, "You want to know who helped me escape, and then capture the people who helped me escape, and hand them over to the tyrant king with me to claim the reward?"
"You have a rather fertile imagination."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Use your brain and think about it carefully. If I had this idea, I would just hand you over to my father. Wouldn't that be good? Why gamble with your life?"
"Do you think I will believe you?"
Although Miaoyin let go of Yun Zheng, her eyes were still full of hostility.
"If you don't believe it, forget it!"
Yun Zheng shrugged, "Anyway, I will never let you assassinate my father! I'll give you two options. First, follow me to Shuobei. Second, I'll give you a few days to escape from the imperial city. The farther the better. During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I'll tell him that you want to assassinate my father, so that you won't find another way to assassinate me after I leave the imperial city!"
Emperor Wen was kind to him, so he would never allow Miaoyin to assassinate Emperor Wen.
Moreover, if Miaoyin succeeded in the assassination, it would not be good for him.
After listening to Yun Zheng's words, Miaoyin fell silent. Her hostile eyes kept scanning Yun Zheng, as if she wanted to see Yun Zheng's true thoughts.
After a long time, Miaoyin asked doubtfully, "Why don't you take me to claim the reward?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"nonsense!"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng unhappily.
Yun Zheng said seriously: "The lie is that I personally oppose the inhumane torture of killing nine clans. I sympathize with your experience, but I can't do anything and can only let you go."
"I'm asking the truth!" Miaoyin screamed madly.
"The truth is, I'm greedy for your body!"
