The news of the three brothers' mysterious coma soon spread to everyone. Some people lamented the sudden decline of Song Wentian's lineage, but there were also many people gloating and mocking them for deserved punishment from heaven.

The atmosphere in the capital was even more depressing. As Master Song Wentian and his disciples fell into a coma for various reasons, the weather in the capital also became depressing and gloomy. The rainy weather continued and the crops planted by the farmers were flooded.

This time there was real resentment, and the people believed that this was a punishment from heaven, and that this punishment was brought about by Song Wentian, his father, his daughter and his apprentice.

So when he heard that Shengyunshan had taken away Song Wentian's position as the head of the sect and Song Yunxi's position as the successor, he felt that the resentment in his heart had subsided a lot.

But even so, God's punishment on them continued and did not stop.

I don't know where this came from...

Perhaps only by killing those people who made God angry and appeasing God's wrath can this punishment be stopped.

Seeing that the rain was likely to continue for a long time, such remarks immediately resonated with the people, and the voices calling for the execution of Song Wentian and others became louder and louder throughout the capital.

Emperor Qinglong stood with his back folded in the Chongzheng Hall, standing by the door and watching the continuous drizzle outside. Although he said nothing, Taifu Zhu and Prime Minister An could all see the emperor's loneliness and sadness.

The ministers who were left in Chongzheng Hall knew very well why Emperor Qinglong was like this, and their mood at this moment was the same as Emperor Qinglong's.

After a long time, the silent Emperor Qinglong finally spoke: "Wentian has sacrificed so much for this world. Not only me, but you all have seen it, and the people and subjects under his protection also know it, but..."

But just because of some rumors without any evidence, they forgot everything Song Wentian had done for them and demanded his execution.

The more Emperor Qinglong thought about it, the sadder he became. He was even more heartbroken. "Let's not talk about Wentian. Even after Xi came down from the mountain to the capital, she has been thinking about the people of the world. Such a rich little girl gave away all her belongings for the soldiers and people at the border."

"There is also a girls' home. It took in so many girls who had nowhere to go and gave them a home."

"Xu Bai and the other two have done so much for the Jin'an Dynasty. They have truly given their all!"

Qin Xubai and Yu Ziche, one a scholar and one a military officer, have both devoted all their energy to the Jin'an Dynasty. Jiang Yanting is said to be the richest man in the world, but how much money is actually left in his hands?

They don't say they don't take credit for it, but they can't ignore the things they did.

However, his fellow junior brothers, nieces and nephews were now being demanded to be executed by the people they had helped and protected.

Imperial Tutor Zhu was also sad, but he stepped forward to comfort Emperor Qinglong: "The people are also bewitched, Your Majesty does not need to be too sad."

Prime Minister An also said: "Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Imperial Preceptor and several young masters are people who care about the world. They will not mind innocent people being taken advantage of."

Ye Xuanqi: "Father, I don't think Uncle Tian will care. The most urgent thing is to resolve the matter and restore Uncle Tian's reputation."

Although he was a little disappointed, he couldn't continue to add fuel to the fire at this time. He could only comfort his father and calm him down first.

As for the source of these rumors, he has ordered Zhou Feng to investigate. When he finds it, he will not let it go no matter whether the other party is an official, a civilian or a royal family.

"That's right, I have to return the reputation to Wen Tianqing."

Emperor Qinglong immediately calmed down: "I will never allow these rumors that insult Wentian to continue."

Ye Xuanqi knew that Emperor Qinglong regarded Song Wentian as his own brother, so he prescribed the right remedy, which indeed cheered up the emperor.

Emperor Qinglong said dignifiedly: "Fourth Brother, settle this matter as soon as possible."

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.

The Sixth Prince picked up the wine in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Elder Tao... No, Sect Leader Tao, I offer you a toast and congratulate you on finally getting the position of Sect Leader. From now on, this Shengyun Mountain will be yours."

It seems that the black-clad military advisor recommended to him by his mother and cousin did have some skills. The first thing he did when he came to his side was not only to eliminate Song Wentian and his daughter and his master and apprentices in one fell swoop, but he even took away the position of the head of Shengyun Mountain.

Now the leader of Shengyun Mountain is his man, and Shengyun Mountain will also be in his pocket.

At this moment, he finally experienced the feeling of knowing that he had confidence.

In the past, he had Song Wentian’s support, so his good fourth brother must have been in this state of mind!

Ye Xuanrong was filled with joy, and had even imagined the infinite glory that he would have when he ascended the throne in the future.

Elder Tao still maintained his arrogant attitude, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Ye Xuanrong was in a good mood and didn't mind Elder Tao's rudeness.

"I would also like to offer a toast to the Master. Congratulations to the Master for finally getting what he wished for."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Zhikang picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Elder Tao's attitude towards him became a little friendlier and he also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He and Shen Zhikang had been in contact a few years ago. Shen Zhikang knew that he wanted to seize the position of leader, but he had not succeeded in more than 20 years, so he helped him secretly.

Shen Zhikang played an indispensable role in making it possible to get rid of Song Wentian so smoothly this time.

After drinking, Elder Tao asked Ye Xuanrong directly: "Your Highness promised me the position of Queen, do you still want to keep it?"

The reason he would cooperate with Ye Xuanrong was because of the matchmaking by Shen Zhikang and that adult. In order to show his sincerity, Ye Xuanrong promised him the position of queen and promised that he would make his Chan'er the queen when he became emperor in the future.

This is also an important reason why he agreed to cooperate with Ye Xuanrong.

Ye Xuanrong was slightly startled, remembering the candidate his mother had chosen for him as his principal wife, General Zhenyuan's only daughter, Shi Yingnan.

Ye Xuanrong quickly weighed the value of Tao Yuechan and Shi Yingnan.

If you choose Tao Yuechan, you will get the support of the entire Shengyun Mountain.

Similarly, if you choose Shi Yingnan, you will get the military power of General Zhenyuan.

He needed both, and he didn't want to give up either.

But he also knew very well that both General Zhenyuan and Elder Tao were fathers who truly loved their daughters and would never let their daughters be concubines, so he could only choose one.

He has been struggling with who to choose.

While he was struggling, Elder Tao's unhappy voice rang out: "Your Highness, are you trying to destroy the bridge after crossing it? Are you denying what you said?"

Elder Tao had an imposing aura, and that powerful aura startled Ye Xuanrong.

Shen Zhikang immediately came out to smooth things over: "Master Tao has misunderstood. Your Highness certainly values ​​Miss Tao."

After saying this, she gave Ye Xuanrong a look, and Ye Xuanrong, who understood, immediately said, "What I said is of course valid, but I don't want to wrong Miss Tao, so I am thinking about when is the best time to marry her."
