Because of the testimony of Gao Heng and Cen Feng and others, as well as the fact that the prince was deceived because of Cheng Jinzhi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, the prince's seemingly earnest argument fell into the ears of Emperor Zhou, and he became more and more pale and powerless.

As Yuan Peng said to Princess Yuanxi at the time, the prince asked for stability with 10,000 taels of gold as a gift, which was not only a humiliation for Da Zhou, but also a glory for Nanchu, who was easily bought by money?

In Emperor Zhou's cognition, Yuan Peng, as the prince of Southern Chu, naturally put the interests and considerations of his country first in everything.

If it weren't for the facts, he would definitely not take the risk of slandering the crown prince of the current dynasty, so as to shake and destroy the good diplomatic relations between Zhou and Chu that had just been concluded between Qin and Jin, and trap their own country in injustice.

Moreover, Gao Hengping Suri is a lonely and lonely person, who has never liked to win over the powerful, and will not easily form alliances with others.

Moreover, Emperor Zhou saw it clearly, and Gao Heng was extremely dissatisfied with the marriage that the Chu people secretly defrauded.

It is reasonable for him to change his mind in such a short period of time and collude with the Chu people he hates.

Up to now, even Emperor Zhou still has a little trust and pity for the prince in his heart.

But now all the evidence of the crime points to the son in front of him who once had high hopes.

The future heir of this Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Father, you can't listen to the slanderous words that these people have been planning for a long time, and you don't believe that your son who has been in love for many years!"

The prince endured the pain on his shoulders, and with some embarrassment, he straightened up again with his hands on the opposite side, crawled over and hugged Emperor Zhou's thighs, and his eyes were already flashing with tears under his hoarseness.

"Since the son of his father Wang Longen ascended the throne, he has done his best every day, although he cannot always satisfy his father, but everything he has done is for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the dawn, in order to live up to his father's love and expectations. No matter what the father wants to do with his sons today, if his sons have not done it, they will never admit it! The sons are wronged, and the sons have a clear conscience!"

As he spoke, the prince suddenly burst into tears with a sad expression, and his tone was sincere and sad, which made people feel vivid.

Seeing that Emperor Zhou was still indifferent, he then turned his face around, and glared at Gu Hanqing with an extremely grim expression.

"Gu Hanqing, do you think that if you fabricate a thief with uncertain whereabouts out of thin air, you will be able to bring down the palace for Gao Heng and put the palace in a desperate situation? Which eye did you see that this box of stolen silver was obtained from the other courtyard of the palace? Hmph, even if you have been released from the Spirit Slaughter Division, it may not have anything to do with this old case of official silver, according to the palace, this box of stolen silver is clearly hidden by yourself, and it was Gao Heng who instructed you to bring it to your father and the emperor to shout to catch the thief, right?"

In the face of the prince's fierce and vicious words, Gu Hanqing was not shocked in the slightest, and the whole person was still as calm as ever.

I saw his eyelashes move slightly, and then he raised his eyes with a cold expression, and his gaze fell on a distant point, his gaze slightly condensed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Feng Wuji is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is indeed a person, if His Royal Highness does not believe it, he can send someone to the Criminal Department to check the file, and he must be able to see from above that this person has committed several thefts over the years. Although my Gu family is a family of merchants, they have always inherited the ancestral teachings and operated properly, never earned ill-gotten gains, and will allocate a donation every year to help the victims. Perhaps because of this, Feng Wuji felt that we were like-minded, so he was fortunate to have his mercy and handed over the stolen silver dug up from His Highness's courtyard to me, hoping that I could replace the victims who were unable to get help from the imperial court back then, and were displaced and suffering a lot, to seek justice in front of His Majesty, and severely punish the masterminds behind the scenes. ”

When Gu Hanqing said this, he deliberately set his eyes on the resentful prince, and his eyes gathered his eyebrows deeply.

After a short pause, he took in the hatred that was about to overflow his eyes, and continued to speak unhurriedly.

"Last year, when the grass people were imprisoned in the Soul Slaughter Division because of the old case of the official bank, Feng Wuji had already heard about it. As far as the grass people know, His Royal Highness laid a precious soil called Shijin soil in order to cultivate the nine-leaf epiphany, which is extremely difficult to grow, in the annex in the western suburbs. This kind of Shijin soil is mixed with a variety of rare soil qualities, which is one of the tributes paid by the small countries of the Western Regions to my Great Zhou over the years, and it is extremely true for the soil. If it weren't for the superior figures among the emperor's relatives, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult to get. Looking up and down the capital, in addition to the imperial garden of the imperial palace, only the courtyard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this kind of soil. And the traces of the soil attached to this wooden box, the grass people have deliberately looked for someone to see, and it is indeed the ten brocade soil that is one in a million. ”

Gu Hanqing raised his hand as he spoke, scraped a little dirt stain from the wooden box and put it in the palm of his hand, staring at it, his expression suddenly became extremely firm.

"If Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel that the grass people are false, they can ask the royal gardener who specializes in gardening in the palace to come and inspect it. If there is half a fabrication, the life of the grass people, and even the entire family behind the grass people, will be at the disposal of His Majesty. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Gu Hanqing's restrained expression, and he bowed his head very solemnly towards Emperor Zhou, as if he was looking at death as home.

And his methodical and thoughtful testimony also made the prince's face pale, and his heart sank suddenly, and even the hand holding Emperor Zhou's thigh suddenly relaxed.

The eyes that were originally full of hatred seemed to have suddenly lost all their confidence, and they became scattered and helpless.

Because the person who rewarded him with this kind of ten brocade soil at that time was none other than Emperor Zhou in front of him.

"Oh, what a ten brocade soil. ”

The prince smiled miserably, his whole face became hideous and distorted because the defeat was decided, and his eyes were even more bloodshot, making people dare not look directly.

"Gao Heng, you really tried your best to bring down this palace, and you would even think of working this soil. ”

"If anyone does not know, he will kill himself if he does many unrighteous deeds. ”

Gao Heng looked at him indifferently, every word was said without a trace of warmth, but there was no joy in his eyes.

It stands to reason that at this moment, seeing the enemy he hated became the target of the public, finally made Emperor Zhou disheartened, and he should have felt a kind of joy and relief that the great revenge had been avenged.

But for some reason, Gao Heng's heart was overflowing with a complex and heavy emotion.

On top of that, he was vaguely aware that now was not the time for relief.

And just as such a thought had just risen from the bottom of his heart, at the same time, he heard the eager and slightly excited voice of a eunuch from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and Marquis Zhao are asking to see you outside!"
