Ling Yun glared at Xiao Shunyang coldly.

Xiao Shunyang waved his hand. “Bring it up.”

Two guards carefully carried up a chess game.

The moment he saw the chessboard, Wei Qing’s expression did not look good.

“What’s wrong, Second Brother?” Wei Liulang asked.

Wei Xu, Wei Ting, and Ghost Fear also looked at him.

Wei Qing said, “This is a chess gleft behind by Master Yun of the previous dynasty. He did not create it himself. He asked a hermit for it. He spent his entire life but could not crack this game.”

Wei Liulang whispered, “How did Second Brother know?”

Wei Qing whispered, “Su Xuan told me. He once invitedto crack the game.”

Wei Liulang asked curiously, “Second Brother, did you crack it?”

Wei Qing said, “No.” “Well”

Wei Liulang was furious.

Xiao Shunyang mist have done it on purpose.

Even if the real Zhuge Qing could not break this game, wouldn’t it be obvious that he was making things difficult for Ling Yun?

Xiao Shunyang said calmly, “This is indeed a relatively difficult chess game, but I believe it won’t be a problem for the number one strategist of the Western Jin, Zhuge Qing.”

He had praised with ill intent.lf the person in the wheelchair could not break it, he would not be Zhuge Qing.

The officials looked at Ling Yun in unison.

Ling Yun lazily raised his slender fingers, picked up a white piece, and placed it down casually.

The civil and military officials could not stand it anymore.

This was not the way to give up on yourself. At least pretend to take a look!

Wei Liulang was prepare to draw his saber. No one could hurt his second brother!

“Right,” Wei Qing said in surprise.

“What?” Wei Liulang was stunned.

He staggered to Ling Yun and pointed at the chessboard carried by the guard.

“You… solved it just like that?”

A few ministers who were good at chess also surrounded him.

From the moment this chess gwas presented, they knew that there was no solution.

They did not believe that anyone could solve it.

The moment they saw the chessboard, all their doubts turned into a loud slap that slapped everyone.

Xiao Shunyang frowned in disbelief.

How was this possible… This chess gwas clearly unsolvable.

Ghostfear took a deep look at Ling Yun.

Who was this guy?

Why could he break a chess gthat even his second brother could not solve?

Ling Yun said leisurely, “Your Majesty, you should believe that I’m Zhuge Qing now, right?”

Emperor Jing Xuan was speechless.

Wei Xu said in a low voice, “Your Highness, Mr. Zhuge’s identity is clear. Now, I want to question Your Highness why you slandered my son!”

Boom

A bolt of lightning sounded in the sky.

The hearts of the civil and military officials skipped a beat!

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the throne room flickered under the interweaving lightning.

Su Yuan pretended to persuade him. “His Highness must have heard wrongly. General Wei, don’t be too angry.”

Wei Xu said coldly, “How can he slander my son like this just because he heard wrongly? If Mr. Zhuge has already set off for the Western Jin, my son won’t be able to clear his name. What awaits my son is execution!”

Su Yuan asked helplessly, “Then what do you want to do? Do you want King Rui to kowtow and admit his mistake to your son?”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression darkened.

Wei Xu said sternly, “The Wei family is loyal. My father died on the battlefield! My three sons died on the battlefield! My eldest son beca death warrior, and my sixth son had his appearance destroyed and lost an arm! I brought my sons back after many hardships, but what I received was His Majesty’s suspicion and the slander of King Rui. The entire court even watched coldly!

Our Wei family can’t afford this armor! Wei Chen, Wei Qing, Wei Yan, and Wei Ting, listen up, remove your armor!”

“Yes!”

Upon receiving the order, the four sons of the Wei family raised their hands and took off their helmets. They removed their armor in unison and placed it neatly on the floor of the throne room.

Wei Xu also took off his golden armor. There was no unnecessary movement.

The hall was instantly silent.

Only then did Emperor Jing Xuan realize what a huge mistake he had made.

Yesterday, when the Wei father and sons returned, the entire city cried along the streets. He wanted to punish them today and was a little anxious.

No, his plan was flawless.

The only variable was the man in the wheelchair.

He overturned all the evidence against Wei Qing.

According to the plan, they would confirm Wei Qing’s crof colluding with the Western Jin, but he would take into account the Wei family’s contribution and pardon Wei Qing’s death sentence to show his magnanimity and benevolence.

At the stime, it would plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of the commoners that was unfavorable to the Wei family.

In the future, if the Wei family had the crof colluding with the enemy and treason, the commoners would easily believe it.

But now, everything was ruined.

Su Yuan continued to pretend to persuade him. ‘General Wei, Lord Wei! Calm down, don’t be rash! His Majesty is a wise ruler. I don’t think His Majesty will be suspicious of you. Someone must have said slanderous words to him.”

Wei Xu snorted. “Is that so? When Prince Rui splashed dirty water on the Wei family just now, I thought it was ordered by His Majesty!”

Emperor Jing Xuan was embarrassed.

Su Yuan looked at Xiao Shunyang. “Your Highness, have you been deceived by someone?”

Xiao Shunyang could not say that he had been tricked by his father.

This was really suffering in silence. Wei Xu bowed to Emperor Jing Xuan. “I’ll take my leave!”

Emperor Jing Xuan said seriously, “Stop!”

If they really left, it would be Emperor Jing Xuan who forced them away.

“Have I ever not given you justice? What happened today has indeed wronged you. King Rui, you misjudged and listened to the rumors. Find the person who spread the rumors and punish him severely.”

“If others spread rumors, King Rui wouldn’t believe it himself. How could he fall for it? To put it bluntly, Prince Rui is either stupid or bad!”

Ling Yun’s stab almost made Emperor Jing Xuan vomit blood.

Emperor Jing Xuan also understood that Wei Xu’s attitude was firm and could not be easily resolved. “Minister Wei, tell me, what should we do?”

Wei Xu said coldly, “I don’t dare to say.”

Ling Yun wanted the world to be in chaos. “In our Western Jin, if any princes and princesses dare to slander loyal officials, once we investigate, our Western Jin’s emperor will definitely abolish the offender’s royal status as a warning to others!”

Everyone knew that Western Jin emperor loved talent.

The descendants of the emperor could fight among themselves, but they were not allowed to touch his loyal ministers. Otherwise, they would die.

Xiao Shunyang was one of Emperor Jing Xuan’s most beloved sons. It was impossible for him to be demoted to a commoner. After all, Wei Qing was fine.

However, if Emperor Jing Xuan did not give the Wei family an explanation, he would not be able to back down today.

Emperor Jing Xuan clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth to suppress his anger. “King Rui listened to slander and almost injured his loyalty.. He is stripped of his status as King Rui!”
