Chapter 485 Taking the Blame

Duan Xu walked up to Master He and told him what had happened during Master He's stay in the palace.

"When you entered the palace just now, Zhao Xuan heard about what happened outside in the Dali Temple and sent someone to say that he would take all the blame. I discussed it with Lord Zhang and felt that this method was feasible."

Taifu He stared at Zhao Xuan in a daze. His hunched body was wrapped in a tattered gray coat, with a few strands of white hair floating in the wind. Since he was missing many teeth, his speech was inarticulate, making him look like a street beggar.

However, his eyes were extremely determined and he continued to shout towards the city wall.

"In order to get rid of the Wang family, the criminal Zhao Xuan slandered your majesty's reputation to gain attention. Now that all the criminals of the Wang family are dead, the criminal's wish has been fulfilled. I am willing to atone for slandering your majesty!"

They knew that what Zhao Xuan said was not false.

But at this moment, he was willing to give up his reputation and dignity for someone he had never met.

Staring at Zhao Xuan, He Yulin was moved.

He had read about many loyal and righteous people in books, such as Bi Gan who died to advise the emperor and Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the river for his country. They were respected by the world and became famous in later generations.

This seems to be the choice of most gentlemen and loyal ministers, to die to show their integrity and prove their innocence.

And this battered man before him had suffered more than anyone else present, yet he was still willing to bear the stigma and die.

I am willing to use my body to pave the way for all people, use my heart to establish the destiny of all people, and use my blood to forge a prosperous and peaceful era.

Only someone like Zhao Xuan could say such earth-shattering words.

He Yulin felt that he had met such a person too late. If he could become a close friend with such a person, his life would be worth it.

"Grandfather, is there any other way?" He Yulin looked at Tutor He with expectant eyes.

"No." Master He looked at Zhao Xuan and said solemnly, "Although I feel sorry for it, this is the best way at the moment."

This matter started with Zhao Xuan and now ends with him. No one will doubt his credibility or the emperor's face.

Duan Xu and Zhang Zhong also saw it and had no intention of stopping it from beginning to end.

Half an hour later, the main street of the South Gate of the capital was crowded with people and carriages, all of whom came to watch the excitement.

"This man dared to slander even the emperor. He really doesn't want to live!"

"No!"

“It’s hard to say about this matter!”

After all, the ones who did evil were really the emperor's mother's family.

The people were talking about it, and many began to blame Zhao Xuan.

The campus remained motionless, staring at the tower and shouting.

One of them saw through it and said, "You are so stupid. You can't see that in order to take all the responsibility on himself, he tried to save the talent..."

However, before he could finish his words, Yan Qing held his mouth.

Yan Qing covered his mouth and warned: "If you talk too much, your life may be in danger!"

The man nodded, and Yan Qing let go of his hand.

He glanced at the hidden weapon in Yun Ting's hand, nudged him with his elbow, and joked, "Don't be so tense. The prince said Zhao Xuan is trustworthy."

Yun Ting didn't even give him a look, and said coldly: "It is possible that someone will harm him."

There is no guarantee that Su Heng will not send someone to kill the person who takes the blame to silence him.

If this is the case, it will be difficult to deal with if things get out of control.

Half an hour later, the emperor finally came to the top of the city wall and looked at the people below.

The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, full of royal bearing, and he exuded a sense of oppression just by standing there.

Now that Zhao Xuan's slander against the emperor has been settled, he is the best scapegoat, and the emperor will certainly not give up this opportunity.

Han Feng took the imperial edict and read it aloud: "Zhao Xuan, you slandered His Majesty for fame and fortune, your crime is unforgivable! You are hereby sentenced to be beheaded at noon tomorrow, and your body will be left exposed for three days after your death to serve as a warning to others! Others who were deceived by Zhao Xuan and took the lead in causing trouble will be punished with flogging."

The gray-robed student who had been leading the crowd to speak looked at the emperor on the city wall and asked loudly, "The corrupt officials are all from the emperor's maternal family. What's wrong with him trying to save the people?"

"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, how can you be such a narrow-minded ruler!"

The emperor on the city wall was originally very happy because someone took the blame and had a joyful look on his face, but he was suddenly questioned with such sharp words, and his face suddenly turned cold as ice.

Just as he was about to explode, Zhao Xuan spoke loudly, drowning out his words, "I have another crime!"
