At night, Sima Jingxuan summoned the Acropolis alone.

The Acropolis, who got the news, was very upset and had no bottom. The emperor had to see himself so late. What's the matter?

Is it because of the day? The Acropolis shook his head. Everything he did was for the emperor's good. He was sitting upright and had nothing to fear.

"See your majesty for the Acropolis."

"Get up."

Sima Jing asked, "do you know why I called you?"

"Acropolis doesn't know."

"Ha ha." Sima Jingxuan smiled softly, but the Acropolis was silent.

Everyone knows that Sima Jingxuan doesn't laugh very much. At this time, his smile not only didn't make the Acropolis feel relaxed, but made him more afraid.

Sima Jing pointed to the chair next to him: "sit down."

The Acropolis's brain was buzzing and knelt directly on the ground: "please forgive me, Emperor! My subordinates have to do what they have to do today. The emperor is a man chosen by heaven and is destined to dominate the world and achieve hegemony for thousands of years. You must not ruin your reputation and future for a strange... Puppet!"

Weeping blood every word is an example of loyal officials.

Sima Jingxuan nodded slightly: "of course I know what you said, so I don't mean to blame you."

Hearing what he said, the Acropolis felt a little relieved. Sima Jingxuan not only didn't blame him, but rewarded him with a thousand liang of gold and all kinds of jewelry, which made the Acropolis flattered and surprised.

"Thank you for your reward." the Acropolis didn't think of it. It seems that he was worried too much. The emperor is a wise king through the ages. How can he do such things as demoralizing and killing donkeys.

"All right, step back."

The Acropolis saluted him respectfully: "my subordinates leave."

The Acropolis left with a pile of gifts. Before he left, he looked back and saw Sima Jing hanging in his chair. In the dark, his whole body exuded a cold breath of despair.

The heart of the Acropolis shook fiercely, as if... As if there was something wrong. But he left in a hurry without thinking about it.

Sima Jing hung at the bottom of his eyes, the dark tide was surging, and he had a strange smile on his face. Don't be afraid, son. No one can separate us.

When the Acropolis went back in the evening, he dreamed with Duke Zhou happily with those rewards.

But that day he had a nightmare that Sima Jingxuan was going to kill him.

He woke up with a start from his dream, cold sweat on his forehead, and the jewels and gold on his body fell to the ground.

He gasped slightly. For a long time, he laughed at himself. He was a frightened bird. The emperor has said he doesn't blame himself. How can he still dream like that?

But the Acropolis doesn't know that dreams sometimes have a certain predictive effect.

Three days later, the Acropolis died.

The accompanying military doctor could also find out the cause by examining his body. He only gave a sudden death in an emergency.

The Acropolis is usually popular. Many soldiers are very sad when he dies.

Someone ran to ask the military doctor to check the cause of his death and never let him die in vain.

Military doctors are also very helpless. Even if they know the real cause of death, they can't say it.

The real cause of death of the Acropolis was poisoning. After their inspection, they found that it was the jewelry and gold given by the emperor that made him suffer this bad luck.

And not all of them are poisonous, only a few have been soaked with venom.

Acropolis was not very lucky. It met poisonous, so it died.

Anyone with a little brain knows that things are given by the emperor. That's what the emperor means.

Who dares to gossip? Isn't that a problem with the emperor? They want to live a few more years.

After Zheng Qi knew the news of the Acropolis's death, he couldn't help feeling cold. He didn't think Sima Jingxuan would choose to kill the Acropolis.

No matter what happens to the Acropolis, he is loyal to the Lord. Isn't he afraid to hurt the hearts of the soldiers by doing so?

Zheng Qi runs to find Sima Jingxuan. He doesn't believe it. He must ask in person.

At this time, Sima Jingxuan was meditating and regulating his breath. When he heard the news, he asked, "what's up?"

Sima Jingxuan slowly opened his eyes, and Zheng Qi shrank for a moment with his sharp eyes.

But he still gritted his teeth and said his heart, "Lord, the death of the Acropolis..."

"Zheng Qi." as soon as he started, Sima Jingxuan mercilessly interrupted, "you have been with me for many years, and so has the Acropolis. The biggest difference between you and him is that you know advance and retreat. You know what to say and what not to say, so you can live until now."

Sima Jingxuan's words are tantamount to indirectly admitting that the death of the Acropolis has something to do with him.

Zheng Qi said sadly, "Lord, the Acropolis has also worked hard for you. You really shouldn't treat him like this."

After all, the Acropolis is still for the sake of the Lord, but it ended up like this. Zheng Qi really has some feelings in his heart.

"I have given him a chance. He made the wrong choice."

So strictly speaking, he caused the death of Acropolis himself, which has nothing to do with him.

Zheng Qi opened his mouth to speak, but found that he didn't know what to say.

He thought with some self mockery that at least he should be happy. After all, he was still alive.

The death of the Acropolis and the events of Mencius were quietly suppressed.

But many things don't disappear without mentioning them.

They are just piled into a dark corner and continue to ferment. When the time comes, they will completely burst out.

If you lose your heart, you have nothing.

How could Sima Jingxuan not understand this truth? He just chose Mencius period between the two

He failed Mencius once and didn't want to fail again.

Now everything he experienced and every choice he made were expected by Nangong Yan.

He knew that his personality of hanging Sima's mirror was that he was categorically unwilling to accept anyone's threat.

But to quell the rumors, he must do something.

He was really cruel enough. When the two armies fought against each other, he didn't hesitate to lose a senior general and wouldn't let anyone play Mencius's idea.

Ji Qingxue shook his head again and again. "Sima Jingxuan is really stunned now." he even killed one of his generals at this time.

But this is just what they want. Now they are planning Sima Jing to hang every mistake and accumulate it to give him a fatal blow.

"I don't know what happened to the fourth brother and whether he met them with Grandpa."

When Sima Jingxuan's internal power recovers, he will make a comeback. At that time, even if there are Shenwei cannons, it will be difficult to resist.

Nangong Yan held her hand, giving people a firm and stable feeling.

"I believe they will be back in time."

Ji Qingxue hasn't slept well these days. She gently leaned against Nangong Yan's shoulder: "ah Yan, I'm a little sleepy."

Nangong Yan stroked her green silk like silk: "sleep when you're sleepy."

Ah Xue, after this time, everything is really over.
