Chapter 265 Gao Yi is about to die
Before Yan Dazhui finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately fell on General Mo.
General Mo's nerves tensed up instantly. He quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuanwu with a plop: "Your Majesty, I have never met Deputy General Zhou."
Yan Dazhu was furious: "I remember clearly that Deputy General Zhou went to find you. Why did you say you had never seen him? Did you kill Deputy General Zhou?"
General Mo said, "Don't talk nonsense. I said I have never seen him, and that means I have never seen him."
He raised his hand and said to Emperor Yuanwu: "Your Majesty, I can swear to heaven that I have never seen Deputy General Zhou. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
Yan Dazhu didn't know where he got the courage from, but he also raised his hand and swore: "I can swear too, everything I said is true. If I tell a lie, I will be torn into pieces!"
The imperial study fell into silence, with only Jamel Xiao's even breathing being heard.
Emperor Yuanwu glanced at Xiao Jingxuan, strode over unhappily, and slapped him on the head: "Why are you sleeping? Get up!"
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!” Xiao Jingxuan held his head and jumped up: “Your Majesty, my head is very fragile and can be easily damaged.”
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Don't you see what kind of occasion it is? How can you sleep in this situation?" Emperor Yuanwu was so angry that he gave Xiao Jingxuan another slap on the head.
Jamel Xiao held his head in grievance, "I don't want to sleep either. I can't control myself. I know that Uncle Gao was the murderer who killed my parents. I was sad and upset, and I was also very angry. I felt sleepy in anger and couldn't help but took a nap. Your Majesty, my nephew is sleepy not because he is lazy, but because he wants to conserve his energy to deal with his enemies."
Emperor Yuanwu couldn't stand his nonsense anymore, so he raised his hand and hit him on the head again: "Have you recovered your strength?"
“It’s done!” Xiao Jingxuan’s eyebrows twitched in pain.
With this interruption, everyone forgot what to do next.
Xiao Jingxuan smiled at Emperor Yuanwu, walked to General Mo, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "Your Majesty, General Mo did not lie. He has indeed not met Deputy General Zhou. Nephew believes in General Mo."
General Mo looked at Xiao Jingxuan in disbelief. He had always looked down on this useless prince who was lazy and good at eating and doing nothing. He did not have the heroic spirit of the old King Pingshan at all and was not worthy of being the old King Pingshan's son. But at this time, Xiao Jingxuan actually said that he believed in him.
Why would Xiao Jingxuan believe him? They were not very familiar with each other. Just when General Mo was full of doubts, Xiao Jingxuan pointed at Yan Dazhu and said, "He didn't lie either."
Xiao Jingxuan's expression suddenly became serious: "What General Mo and Yan Dazhu said is true. The one who lied is not them, but Deputy General Zhou."
He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Yuan Wu: "This was found by my nephew in the home of Deputy General Zhou's brother."
Emperor Yuanwu opened the letter and took a look. He saw that the letter stated that Deputy General Zhou and He Gaoyi had colluded to drug Nangong Yan.
Xiao Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "Vice General Zhou is Gao Yi's man. He helped Gao Yi sneak into Yulong Mountain, but he didn't know Gao Yi's purpose in coming to Yulong Mountain."
Xiao Jingxuan looked at Gao Yi and said word by word: "Deputy General Zhou has always been jealous of General Mo. The relationship between the two of them is not good. If Deputy General Zhou has something important, he will definitely not go to General Mo. The person he wants to find should be Prime Minister Gao who is hiding near the military camp."
Xiao Jingxuan continued, "Vice General Zhou didn't know that Gao Yi was going to murder my parents, so after hearing the truth from Yan Dazhu, he was very shocked. He wanted to find Gao Yi to verify it, and by the way, use this to threaten Gao Yi and give him wealth and glory."
Before going to find Gao Yi, Deputy General Zhou made two preparations. He wrote down the truth about the death of the old King Pingshan and his wife in battle and buried it where Gao Yi could not find it. Then he went to find Gao Yi, desperately fighting for a future. He never expected that he would be killed by the insidious and cunning Gao Yi.
Lieutenant General Zhou was promoted by the old King of Pingshan. If Gao Yi had not used coercion and inducement, Lieutenant General Zhou would not have worked for him.
Twenty-one years had passed since the battle of Yulong Mountain. Gao Yi had destroyed all the evidence, but Yan Dazhui and Deputy General Zhou's brothers were lucky enough to survive.
Faced with Xiao Jingxuan's accusations and evidence, Gao Yi said nothing. He just covered his chest and lowered his head with a painful look on his face.
Emperor Yuanwu looked at him coldly: "Prime Minister Gao, don't you have anything to say?"
Gao Yi chuckled twice: "Now that things are going on, it's useless for me to say anything. It's better to save some energy."
Emperor Yuanwu clenched his fists: "Are you admitting your guilt?"
Gao Yi's eyes were filled with despair and sadness: "Admit it."
"It was me who killed Nangong Yan and Princess Zhaoyang. It was me who killed thousands of soldiers. I am a fat traitor who collaborated with the enemy!" Gao Yi's voice became louder and louder, and when he said the last three words, he almost roared.
After roaring, Gao Yi began to breathe heavily.
Everyone present was angry.
"Gao Yi, you are unworthy of being a human being. How could you do such a thing!!"
"Traitor, it was you who killed my Yuan Dynasty God of War!"
"You have such a cruel heart!"
"Your Majesty, Gao Yi colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, leaked military secrets, and killed the old King Pingshan and Princess Zhaoyang as well as thousands of soldiers. His crimes are heinous and his entire clan should be executed!"
Emperor Yuanwu raised his hand and everyone fell silent.
"Gao Yi, don't you want to make an excuse?" Emperor Yuanwu asked calmly.
Gao Yi's face turned even paler than before: "No need... Ugh!"
Before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the clean ground red.
Everyone was shocked.
"what happened to him?"
"Before he was put under house arrest, Gao Yi claimed to be unwell and stayed at home for several days, not even attending the morning court."
"He's much thinner than before. I'm afraid he has some serious illness."
“It won’t be contagious to humans, right?”
Several ministers took a step back, trying to stay away from Gaoyi.
Xiao Jingxuan stepped forward, took Gao Yi's hand to feel his pulse, then laughed, looked at Gao Yi and said sarcastically: "You are about to die, retribution is not bad."
Gao Yi smiled: "Yes, this is my retribution."
He looked at Prince Hong and Shao Huan and said, "You two have threatened me to help you with things related to Yulong Mountain more than once. Now, I am going to die. You have worked in vain."
Prince Hong and Shao Huan stared at him with wide eyes.
Jamel Xiao reached out and took off the cloth that was blocking King Hong's mouth.
Prince Hong immediately sneered at Gao Yi: "Your current look and tone are telling me that you are seriously ill and have seen through life and death. Do you want to tell everything?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi's eyes were filled with determination and sadness: "I should have said it a long time ago. I'm tired of hiding the secret for so long."
He looked at Emperor Yuanwu and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you alone."
Emperor Yuanwu glanced at him and asked Xiao Jingxuan: "Is he really going to die?"
Xiao Jingxuan nodded: "He has a serious lung disease, and even the Golden Immortal can't cure it. He can only live for five or six days at most."
"You deserve it!" Shangguan Zhenhua spat at Gao Yi.
Other ministers also despised Gao Yi.
