Kick the scumbag, she brought space and married the national teacher to rebel

Gong Beixuan naturally saw through his little thoughts and ignored him, staring straight at the emperor.

"Since ancient times, the emperor has always appointed the eldest son as the heir, but Your Majesty believes that Long Shirui is not as good as the new emperor, so it is understandable that he was deposed. However, I think that Long Shirui has done nothing wrong except being the eldest son, so there is no need to imprison him."

Seeing that the Imperial Master took the lead in speaking for the deposed crown prince, a minister immediately stepped out and also pleaded for Long Shirui, "What the Imperial Master said is absolutely right. I second your opinion!"

"I second your motion! Your Majesty, please release the deposed crown prince!"

Some more ministers came forward one after another.

There was a hint of coldness in Long Shihua's eyes, but he said nothing. Before the old emperor died, he wanted to establish the image of a good emperor and did not need to offend these old guys.

Gong Beixuan ignored the emperor's murderous gaze and continued, "There are still many doubts about the Hong family's case. In order not to wrongly accuse a good person, this national teacher has decided to personally re-examine the case and let the truth come to light. Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?"

Long Shihua was secretly anxious and looked at the old emperor.

If these two people were to re-examine the Hong family case, they would definitely find that the evidence was all false. Not only would his factions be purged, but he, the new emperor, would also be criticized by the world.

"Your Majesty is now terminally ill and seems unable to judge the complexity of the case." Gong Beixuan looked at Long Shihua with a sharp and cold light flashing in his eyes, "What does the new emperor think?"

"This..." Long Shihua hesitated and wanted to wait for the emperor to speak.

The emperor glared at Gong Beixuan. This man was becoming more and more annoying. "Master Imperial Master, you have crossed the line!"

Gong Beixuan sneered in his heart, "The words of the Supreme Emperor are wrong! As the saying goes, one should make decisions according to one's position, shoulder one's responsibilities, and do one's best! As the state teacher, I must put the interests of the court and the people first and prevent Your Majesty from being deceived by treacherous people."

"I second the motion! I hope Your Majesty will review the Hong family case again."

Most of the officials agreed.

The retired emperor on the dragon throne remained silent. He would never agree to re-examine the Hong family case.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable to him, Long Shihua rolled his eyes again and suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Father, I have an unwelcome request."

"You say!" The emperor nodded.

"Today, I succeed to the throne, and it is a day of universal celebration. I believe that a general amnesty should be issued. Considering that the Hong family is my eldest brother's maternal grandfather's family, and Prime Minister Hong has devoted his life to the court, I beg you, father, to release the Hong family!" After Long Shihua finished speaking, he kowtowed to the emperor as if it was a big deal.

"Ask Father for permission!"

The emperor understood what Long Shihua meant. With Gong Beixuan involved, it would be impossible to get rid of the Hong family.

"Since the new emperor is begging for mercy, I will spare the Hong family this time. Hua'er, I have now passed the throne to you, and you will handle the affairs of the court on your own in the future!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up with the help of Eunuch Bi and said, "Return to the palace!"

"Let's go to Jingren Palace!" Eunuch Bi shouted in a shrill voice.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

The ministers saw him off respectfully.

After the retired emperor left, Long Shihua walked up the steps to the palace, lifted up his robe and sat on the dragon chair. He stroked the handle of the dragon head and felt extremely happy. He finally sat on this position.

He glanced at all the civil and military officials in the hall and raised his hand, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers were able to stand up, but several older officials were almost unable to stand.

At this moment, the crow's voice reached Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan's ears, "The deposed Queen Hong hanged herself in the cold palace."

They were both startled and looked at each other secretly.

Hong actually chose to die at this time?

"Since Your Majesty has issued a general amnesty, I will go and fetch Long Shirui out right away." Gong Beixuan said.

"In that case, then I'll trouble the Imperial Master to make the trip." Long Shihua was unwilling, but he didn't dare to offend Gong Beixuan at all.

Suddenly he added, "After all, my eldest brother and I are brothers. We cannot treat him badly. Let him go to Xizhou! And bring the Hong family with him. Let them live there!"

"In that case, then I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Long Shirui and the Hong family!" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Gong Beixuan's eyes.

Xizhou City is located in the western border area, bordering the Northern Qi, Dalin and other three kingdoms. It is very desolate. Long Shihua banished the deposed crown prince and the Hong family there, which was no different from exiling them as criminals.

But given the current situation, going there is the best option for them. At least they can save their lives and no longer be prisoners. They can live an ordinary life there.

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Chu Feiyan also bowed to the new emperor and left the hall with Gong Beixuan.

Long Shihua, who was standing behind them, looked at their backs and gritted his teeth.

After leaving the palace, Gong Beixuan said to Chu Feiyan: "You leave the palace first, I will go to the Yinchen Palace."

"Okay." Chu Feiyan nodded slightly and left.

Gong Beixuan came to Yinchen Palace, and the guards here did not dare to stop him and let him in.

Long Shirui was lying decadently on a small couch, with the guard Wang Yong standing beside him trying to persuade him.

Suddenly seeing Gong Beixuan coming in, Long Shirui stood up and said, "Master Imperial Master, you are finally here."

Gong Beixuan looked at him and nodded, "Let's go!"

Go? Long Shirui was delighted. Did his father change his mind and let him go?

Just say that the emperor father would not be so heartless to him.

The three of them came out of Yinchen Palace, and Long Shirui asked, "Master Imperial Master, my mother..."

"Let's get out of the palace first."

Gong Beixuan said coldly and strode away.

Leaving the palace? Long Shirui felt something was wrong and looked up in the direction of the East Palace.

"Your Highness, hurry up!" Wang Yong urged him in a low voice.

Long Shirui hurriedly caught up with Gong Beixuan.

After several people left the palace and got on the carriage, Gong Beixuan told him that Long Shihua had succeeded to the throne.

Long Shirui couldn't accept it for a moment, and he covered his face with his hands and cried, "Father, you are so heartless to me!"

"The new emperor has banished you and the Hong family to Xizhou. You should leave with the Hong family tomorrow! I will send someone to secretly protect you until you reach Xizhou." Gong Beixuan said again.

The fact that Hong was dead was not told to him for the time being, in order to prevent him from becoming even more devastated.

"Master Imperial Master, thank you for saving me and the Hong family." Long Shirui had to believe the facts before his eyes, believe how cruel and ruthless his father was to him, and understood that if the Imperial Master had not intervened, he and the Hong family would have died.

At this moment, he hated the emperor in his heart.

When they returned to the princess's mansion, Gong Beixuan took out the imperial master's token and asked Ji Song and Dongmei to go to the East Palace to pick up Long Shirui's wives, concubines and children.

The women in the Eastern Palace have also been controlled by the emperor, and only his token can bring them out.

Long Shirui now has three children, the oldest is only three years old and the youngest is only a few months old.
