On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

Feng Wuming read the suicide note and slapped it heavily on the table, his eyebrows gloomy.

Wen Yufu!
Prime Minister Shen was forced to death by Wen Yufu.

Prime Minister Shen wrote down everything Wen Yufu did in his suicide note. Wen Yufu encouraged the Shen family to help her rebel and want to sit on the throne. His previous dangers were all caused by Wen Yufu.

Prime Minister Shen was unwilling to join Wen Yufu, but he couldn't think of any other good way. He knew that the Shen family would be implicated if the matter was revealed. In order to show his loyalty, he could only prove his ambition by dying and make him believe in the innocence of the Shen family. Wen Yufu The Shen family and he had no idea what he was doing.

Feng Wuming sat down, his eyes flashing with complicated light.

Prime Minister Shen also said that he didn't know what was wrong and felt that Shen Yanliu seemed to have changed. He didn't know at all that his daughter was no longer his daughter and her soul had changed.

If Prime Minister Shen had come to him to explain it clearly, he would have believed it, but it's a pity... Prime Minister Shen didn't come to him.

Feng Wuming was sad, looking down at the suicide note without saying a word.

Fu Jingtong looked at him: "Your Majesty, do you want the Imperial Advisor to go and see Prime Minister Shen? We are afraid that the Imperial Advisor will be late and the Shen family will take Prime Minister Shen's body..."

Feng Wuming interrupted in a low voice: "There is no need to let the Imperial Master go. The suicide note was undoubtedly written by Prime Minister Shen and was not coerced."

Fu Jingtong opened his lips to say something, but Feng Wuming clicked on the suicide note: "You will know after reading it."

Fu Jingtong picked up the suicide note and read it at a glance. His face was dark and complicated, and he finally sighed.

There were obviously other ways to deal with this matter, but Prime Minister Shen chose to die to prove his ambition.

Death to clarify one's ambition is the most painful but also the most effective.

Prime Minister Shen wanted to sacrifice one person's life in exchange for the survival of the rest of the Shen family.

He put down the suicide note: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen died to express his will and to apologize for his sins. How will your Majesty deal with the Shen family?"

In his suicide note, Prime Minister Shen wrote down what to do with the other members of the Shen family, waiting for His Majesty to punish them.

Shen Hongyu's death cannot be concealed. This matter will soon be known to other ministers, and they all have their own spies.

Feng Wuming lowered his eyes and whispered: "According to what Prime Minister Shen said, he has already died to apologize, so naturally I can't punish the Shen family again."

"Prime Minister Shen is a veteran of three dynasties. He has only one last wish to fulfill when he dies. Can I help him fulfill his last wish?"

When Fu Jingtong heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Feng Wuming nodded, Fu Jingtong had nothing else to do, so he said goodbye and left.

……

The news of Shen Hongyu's death spread quickly. Everyone learned from their own informants that Shen Hongyu had hanged himself. They were shocked and began to suspect and speculate.

Prime Minister Shen suddenly committed suicide. Did he really commit suicide or was he forced?Deliberately making it look like suicide?
There was nothing unusual about Prime Minister Shen when he went to court yesterday. Today he suddenly hanged himself at home. He couldn't figure it out.

After thinking about it, they unanimously felt that...it was very possible that His Majesty could have done it.

Your Majesty may be afraid of the Shen family. Now that the late emperor is dead, the Shen family has no backing. The Shen family and the Queen Mother did a lot of things to your Majesty. Your Majesty must now be settling accounts with the Shen family's descendants.

Everyone thought that they must ask about this matter when they go to court tomorrow.

The next day.

Golden Palace.

Shen Chengshu did not come to court and asked for bereavement leave.

Mr. Chen, who was close to Shen Hongyu, was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, I learned this morning that Prime Minister Shen died suddenly yesterday. I wonder if your Majesty knows about this?"

Feng Wuming looked at him indifferently: "I know, what does Chen Aiqing want to say?" "Your Majesty, I saw Prime Minister Shen the day before yesterday. The Prime Minister was very lively and there was nothing wrong. Why did Shen suddenly die yesterday?" The Prime Minister has done his best for the sake of the court, but I suspect that someone with ulterior motives wants to harm Zhongliang, and I hope that Your Majesty will ask someone to investigate and give an explanation to Prime Minister Shen."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, many people stood up one after another.

"Yes, it's ridiculous that the Prime Minister died suddenly after working hard for the court."

"The prime minister passed away suddenly. This seems to be wrong. Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will understand."

Feng Wuming glanced at Eunuch Chen.

Chen Gonggong said: "Please invite Mr. Shen to enter the palace."

Lord Shen?
Everyone looked at each other.

Prime Minister Shen is dead, and Lord Shen can only be Shen Chengshu.

Didn't Shen Chengshu take bereavement leave?

Shen Chengshu walked in from outside the Jinluan Hall. He was not wearing official uniform, he was wearing white plain clothes and a white mourning cloth on his head. His face was sad and his eyes were red and swollen.

He looked at Feng Wuming and saluted.

Feng Wuming raised his hand.

Shen Chengshu looked at Mr. Chen and spoke: "Everyone, my father died of natural causes and was not mutilated. I have seen a doctor. My father had a physical illness. The doctor did not detect it before. He suddenly fell ill yesterday and died in the study. By the time we went to see him, it was already too late.”

Mr. Chen frowned and retorted: "Isn't Prime Minister Shen's body always in good health? Prime Minister Shen and I went to the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis before. Dr. Li said that the Prime Minister's body is in good condition."

Mr. Chen has something to say.

"My dear nephew, we are all here in the Jinluan Palace today. How did Prime Minister Shen die? You don't have to be shy, just tell us directly. Your Majesty will make the decision for Prime Minister Shen."

Feng Wuming looked at Mr. Chen coldly.

Mr. Chen's heart trembled when he saw it, and he lowered his head.

Shen Chengshu said hoarsely: "My dear nephew, thank you Master Chen for your concern, but my father died of a sudden illness."

"Your Majesty, I have to deal with my father's funeral affairs, so I'm going to leave first." Shen Chengshu turned and left.

Master Chen saw that he had already left, so he said no more.

Not long after he retired from the court, Feng Wuming's imperial edict had arrived at the Shen family.

Shen Chengshu was dismissed from his official position, and all the officials of the Shen family's branches were also dismissed, and they all returned to their hometowns in glory.

All the Shen family's influence was wiped out from the court overnight. Shen Yanliu was the only one left in the Shen family. Even if she wanted to stir up trouble, no one in the Shen family could help her, and she would not be able to stir up trouble. storm.

After the imperial edict arrived at the Shen family, Mrs. Shen knew that her son had lost his official position. She had just lost her husband, and her son had lost his official position again. Her eyes went dark and she fainted.

The father-in-law who came to announce the imperial edict stopped talking.

Shen Chengshu received the imperial edict with a gloomy expression: "The common people thank the Lord for his kindness."

The father-in-law sighed and helped him up: "Master Shen, I'm sorry, you and Mrs. Shen take care of yourself."

Shen Chengshu stood up and asked someone to help Mrs. Shen back to the room. He replied to his father-in-law: "Thank you very much for your comfort, father-in-law. Don't call me Master Shen anymore. I am no longer an official of the imperial court."

The father-in-law comforted him for a few more words, then turned and left.

As soon as the father-in-law left, the officials already knew about it. When they learned that His Majesty had dismissed all the Shen family members from their official positions and allowed them to return to their hometowns in fine clothes, everyone was in awe and wondering about His Majesty's thoughts.
