After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

After hearing this, Wen Yiheng knew that he had convinced the emperor.

Wen Yiheng immediately kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty's teaching is correct. I will definitely follow your teachings.

I will definitely find out who is so bold as to steal my seal.

And they did such a filthy thing!"

The emperor waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

The emperor also knew who had come up with this idea. He knew that he was just looking for a scapegoat when he went back!

But right now the court needs checks and balances. The current situation is the best and no one can fall.

The best solution is to reduce their power in everyone's fight.

The emperor looked at the memorials on the table, most of which reported each other's shortcomings.

There were constant disputes in the court. Every day in the court, the emperor seemed to be a judge.

One moment there's a problem with someone in this family, the next moment it's another.

The emperor was also overwhelmed by what he heard. In fact, the Shen family has always been a concern for the emperor.

The reason why Shen Yige was able to enter the palace was not only because of her appearance that was similar to Mu Zhizhi, but also because of her prominent family background.

When Wen Shang was in the last battle among the nine princes for the throne, the Shen family made a lot of efforts.

As censors, the Shen family's words carried the most weight in front of the late emperor at that time.

At the beginning, Wen En's upright character made the Shen family like him very much, so they helped him.

But there is also a deeper reason: a lifetime of honor and favor.

The Shen family knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. If they did not find a good backer, many new nobles would emerge in the court every year.

There are also some useless sons of the Shen family. If they don't hold on tightly to their thighs.

I'm afraid that in the end all my efforts will be in vain.

That's why Shen Jia desperately supports him. Anyway, one day he can obtain endless wealth and glory.

It turns out they were right.

During these years, his daughter also became a royal concubine.

In this dynasty, he has always been the most powerful.

The emperor also knew that the sons of the Shen family were all people who could not achieve anything great.

They relied on the Shen family's reputation to give them some marginalized positions.

Shen Yige, relying on her status as a concubine, has done many evil things in the palace.

The emperor had no way to punish her.

After all, the Shen family always uses the fight for the throne among the nine sons as an excuse to exonerate themselves.

At first, the emperor still felt quite guilty. After all, the Shen family had been with him until now.

So I choose to turn a blind eye to many things.

The Shen family was probably used to enjoying the days of honor and favor, and Shen Yige relied on the favor to promote his family members.

Shen Yige also knew very well that having the emperor's favor alone was not enough in the palace.

Only his mother's clan is strong enough. This is the most important support for him and his children.

After Shen Yige gave birth to the second prince, she used this as an excuse to ask the emperor to promote her family members to higher positions.

The emperor was reluctant to agree at first, but Shen Yige kept telling him how the Shen family had devoted themselves to him over the years.

Besides, she had given birth to a prince, so she should have helped her family get promoted and made rich.

At that time, the Shen family also had many enemies in the court.

Wen En was under pressure from Shen Yige and the Shen family.

In the end, some more important positions were assigned to the useless son of the Shen family.

The Shen family was in the court, and thus began their struggle for hegemony in the court.

Later, the emperor realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, some women were selected from other better-known aristocratic families to enter the palace.

What just happened was that there were two girls from aristocratic families who happened to look like the deceased Mu Zhizhi.

So the emperor took them into his harem.

Even after they gave birth to princes, he vigorously promoted their families.

The Shen family also knew that the emperor's favor was the most unreliable thing.

So they also do it for self-protection and for their own wealth and glory.

They also engaged in some illicit activities and made huge profits from them.

How could the emperor not know this at such an age?

But the emperor made one mistake after another, and now it would be difficult for him to pull out even if he wanted to.

The emperor also promoted more new people to warn the Shen family.

But the Shen family relies on the second prince.

There are many dirty things done behind the scenes, and they even use this as an excuse to blackmail others.

Wen Yifeng was also spoiled. Not only did he do nothing all day, but he also exploited others in his own name.

Wen Shang had long been fed up with this, so after the last Shanyuan Temple case, he had put the Second Prince in confinement.

In the hope that the Shen family would be more restrained, the emperor also secretly sent people to monitor their every move.

After the second prince's downfall, the Shen family became even more outrageous.

Wen Yiheng is not a good person either.

That's why the emperor wanted to let the two of them fight each other directly.

No matter who of them loses, it will be good for him.

Eventually, just find someone else to take the other one away.

The emperor was not a fool. He knew that Wen Yiheng would definitely investigate privately who had said that.

The emperor deliberately revealed that it was the Shen family who did it when chatting with other ministers.

That minister happened to be Wen Yiheng's man.

After hearing this, Wen Yiheng became furious.

He also knew that it was impossible for him to escape.

Someone must be held responsible for the sale of official titles.

The only people who can touch his seal are his own people.

This time he had no choice but to sacrifice his own people to maintain the situation.

Wen Yiheng looked at the guards who had followed him for many years.

I feel a little reluctant, but there is no other way for now.

Only by sacrificing him can he save himself, otherwise he will die.

Wen Yiheng immediately asked his guards to sit down.

The guard was obviously a little nervous.

After all, Wen Yiheng had never let him sit down.

No matter how perfect the other person is, he never takes himself seriously.

He suddenly did this at this moment, it seemed that he wanted to ask him for something.

The guard sat down nervously, and Wen Yiheng asked in a somewhat hypocritical tone: "You have been following me for many years, right?

After all these years, don’t you miss home?

How about giving you a holiday so you can go back and have a look?"

The guard shook his head, looked at Wen Yiheng with some disappointment and said: "Fifth Prince, I have no family.

My family died in a fire ten years ago.

I also had a narrow escape at that time. I managed to get out with great difficulty, but all my family members died, and I still don’t have any family members.

When I ran out, I met the fifth prince who rescued me.

I am here today to serve as a guard to repay the Fifth Prince!"

After hearing this, Wen Yiheng smiled awkwardly. He had indeed forgotten about it, or rather, he had never cared about it.

The fire at the guard's house was not an accident.

He was out playing with Li Jing at the time. When they passed by a family, he saw the steaming buns in other people's house and wanted to eat them.

But I was too embarrassed to go forward and ask for the buns, so I thought of starting a fire.

Attract other people's attention, sneak in during the chaos, and eat the buns.

At that time, Li Jing and Wen Yiheng lived a rather miserable life, and they could not eat steamed buns often.

Wen Yiheng didn't expect that he used too much force and got too angry.

Li Jing had no choice but to hide in the dark with Wen Yiheng, not daring to set out or step forward to help.

Unexpectedly, the fire took away so many people from the guard's family.

The guard was also her mother, and she tried her best to throw him out of the wall, so that he survived.

Li Jing and the other two waited for the fire to burn for a long time, thinking that most of the people would be dead.

Two of us went forward to see if there was anyone alive.

Because they were afraid that if someone was still alive and saw that they were the one who set the fire, then they would be doomed.

Thinking of killing anyone who knew about it.

When the two men approached, they found the guard lying on the ground, dying.

Wen Yiheng suddenly became playful. He wanted the guard to protect him all the time. He thought it was fun.

It is such an interesting thing that a person treats his clan murderer as a benefactor and protects him.

Li Jing disagreed at first, but couldn't stand Wen Yiheng's coaxing and persuasion.

Finally, the guards were brought back.

The guard always thought that these two people were his saviors.

So I have been serving with all my heart.

Now his thoughts returned, and a relaxed smile appeared on Wen Yiheng's face.

If there are other guards at home, he will have to find someone else to kill them to silence them.

But now, since he has no family, this matter will be much easier to handle.

Wen Yiheng also didn't want to tell the guards directly what he really thought.

I just asked him to have a few drinks with me in the evening.

The guard had never imagined that Wen Yiheng would be so nice now and would invite him to drink together.

The guards thought that Wen Yiheng was under too much pressure.

Some others were eager to comfort him: "Fifth Prince! Whatever happened, it will all pass.

Nothing is impossible.”

Wen Yiheng looked at the guard in front of him and thought he was a fool.

It's a joke that you are about to become someone else's scapegoat, but you are still comforting others.

When night fell, Wen Yiheng prepared a large table of wine and food.

At the dinner table, he kept talking about how difficult his life had been over the years.

He cried and talked about how he had been ignored over the years, asking the guards to sympathize with him.

The guards were indeed brought into the situation by him and looked at him with some sympathy.

Wen Yiheng knew that he had achieved his goal.

After Wen Yiheng got the guard drunk, he immediately had him carried back to the room.

Wen Yiheng had taken the hangover medicine in advance and was now very sober.

He came to the guard's room and looked at the guard who was already drunk and unconscious.

Some of them said proudly: "You, you! How could you be so stupid?

He actually regarded his enemy as his benefactor.

I was the one who started the fire. I just wanted to eat your buns.

But it’s your family’s honor to let me eat your buns.

Originally, I wanted to ask you to kill people to silence them, but I thought this was the most fun way to play, so I kept you here.

Now it seems that it was just right that I kept you here.

Otherwise, I don't know. Who can I choose as my scapegoat now?

You can go with peace of mind and reunite with your family.

As for me, since you have served me for so many years, I will still have someone burn more paper for you."

Then he immediately asked his servants to prepare a confession and had the guards put their fingerprints on it.

After finishing all these.

Wen Yiheng immediately left the room and had someone feed the guard a pill.

Then he ordered his men to throw him into a mass grave.

The next morning, Wen Yiheng took the confession letter.

In the court, she said with tears in her eyes: "I have found out. It was my personal bodyguard who did this.

At that time, I asked him to take it home.

Their house happened to be hit by a fire, and he was the only survivor of the fire.

The guard thought it was his son and set fire to their house.

So I have been deliberately staying by my son's side all these years.

This is to kill me. This time he stole my seal.

I just want my father to blame me and let me die in the end!

I asked him these questions after I had a drink with him yesterday.

He indeed knew where the son's seal was kept, and he had the opportunity to get it.

Yesterday, he himself felt that what he did was wrong. So he committed suicide. "

The emperor looked at Wen Yiheng and felt that there was a devil standing here.

The person who had followed me for many years actually sold it just like that.

It was someone from the Shen family who reported it, so naturally they were not satisfied with the result.

So they jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if he is alive, we must see him in person, and if he is dead, we must see his body.

Where is the body now?

We have to find out whether it was suicide or homicide!

It would be bad if the wrong person was blamed. "

Wen Yiheng had already thought of a good excuse, and immediately looked at the Shen family with red eyes and said: "Sir Shen! Do you think this prince would make fun of the people around him?

I still think that this prince tortured me into confessing.

He made a mistake and committed suicide. Can he blame me?

Or does Lord Shen think that this prince is the kind of person who would buy and sell official titles?"

The people of the Shen family would not confront Wen Yiheng head-on.

But in private, he can still cause a lot of trouble.

When the emperor saw this scene, he waved his hand and said, "Since this is the outcome, let it go.

If this happens again, just bury it."

Wen Yiheng looked at the people from the Shen family provocatively.

Wen Yiheng saw that the emperor was also protecting him. He knew that he was also a person of great importance in the court.

He has already started dreaming that he will become the emperor of the Dayun Dynasty.

The Shen family secretly went to see the emperor, and the emperor asked them to continue investigating Wen Yiheng's movements on the grounds of not alerting the enemy.

The people in the Shen family seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, knowing that some people would not be able to jump around for much longer.

Wen Yiheng also wanted to push the Shen family out as scapegoats.
