Chapter 832: The Sin of Bullying
Just based on Xiao Zhang's words, there was no basis for words, but despite this, everyone present was still extremely shocked, after all, the Furnace of Creation and the Xuanyuan Sword were not mortal, and any bit of news about it would affect people's hearts.
And Xiao Zhang actually said that the furnace of creation is refining the Xuanyuan sword, since the furnace of creation is the prince's thing, what is the purpose of the prince's doing? Even if Xiao Zhang's words are false, it is enough to enrich the legends after going back.
Naturally, the emperor wouldn't believe it, his face was expressionless, and he continued to ask: "You said that you saw the furnace of creation refining the Xuanyuan Sword? So, who is urging the furnace of creation, and what is the purpose of refining the Xuanyuan Sword?"
Xiao Zhang was not in a hurry, and said: "As for the purpose, the minister is not clear, but the minister can see clearly, the person who urged the furnace of creation in the Xuanyuan Hall is the ......."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhang stopped and turned his head to look at the prince.
The eyes of all the ministers also looked at the prince, Xiao Zhang's meaning was obvious, although he hadn't said it yet, but the person who urged the furnace of creation was very likely to be the prince.
The prince had a clear conscience, and looked at Xiao Zhang with his head held high, because it was not him who urged the furnace of creation at that time, but he didn't know that Xiao Zhang was a two-way block, although the person who urged the furnace of creation was not him, but he was facing a greater crisis.
After satisfying the appetite of the ministers, Xiao Zhang turned around and said to the emperor: "The person who urged the furnace of creation was the head of Xuanyuan Sect at that time, Xuanyuan Hong. ”
The prince smiled coldly, which meant as if to say: Forgive me, I don't dare to talk nonsense.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's face suddenly fell after hearing this: "Was Zhao Zheng present at the time?"
Xiao Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not present." How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participate in such a bad thing?"
Xiao Zhang's words are ruthless enough, which is equivalent to directly pushing the prince down the abyss, the furnace of creation is a thing that the emperor handed over to the prince for safekeeping, and it must not be left from his body, let alone handed over to others for use, otherwise it is the crime of bullying the king.
The poor prince probably fainted once today, and his mind was not very bright, and he knew that he only woke up when he heard the emperor's angry questioning.
"Zhao Zheng, since the Furnace of Creation is in the Xuanyuan Palace, why weren't you present at that time?" The emperor's voice was full of anger, even killing intent, "Xuanyuan Hong urged the Furnace of Creation, what's going on?"
The prince had a buzz in his head, and he almost fainted again, and immediately left his seat, and crawled to the center of the hall on his knees, but he couldn't say a word because of the trembling all over, in fact, he really had nothing to say.
The anger on the emperor's face gradually turned into pain, and he was heartbroken! He held his forehead with one hand and asked weakly, "Zhao Zheng, I only want to ask you, are you tired of sitting on the throne of the crown prince?"
The prince was shaking and sifting through the chaff, and stretched out his arm weakly, but he still couldn't say a word.
The emperor was so distressed that he even shed tears: "Son, is your patience so poor? If you want to be the emperor, can't you wait? The reason why I stayed and didn't ascend to the Divine Soul Realm is to hone your mind, but who ......knows?"
The crown prince was suddenly shocked, to be honest, he had never heard such sincere words in his father's mouth since he was a child, and the emperor's words today were like a rain, sprinkled in the prince's dry heart.
"Father, father......" The prince was finally able to speak.
"Shut up!" the Emperor shouted angrily, "I am not your father, and your crown prince is at the end of my seat today." ”
"Father, can you make your father believe just by Xiao Zhang's words from an outsider? Can you provoke the relationship between your father and his son?"
The emperor also seemed to relax a little, after all, this is a family affair of the imperial family, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so if you can find a reason to cover it up, you can cover it up, so he looked at Xiao Zhang and asked, "Xiao Zhang, how do you prove what you said?"
Xiao Zhang is a smart person, he naturally guessed the emperor's thoughts, so he bowed down and said: "Please Your Majesty, what the minister just said is just hearsay, not what he saw with his own eyes." ”
It stands to reason that Xiao Zhang is also a crime of bullying the king, but in fact, he helped the emperor to relieve the siege, and of course the emperor will not surrender, but will be full of gratitude to Xiao Zhang.
Sure enough, the emperor sighed, shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhang is the number one hero of the empire, so the merit and crime will be offset, and I will not be rewarded extraordinarily." I'm a little tired today, so let's end the feast. With that, he got up and left the main hall.
The ministers got up and left, this farcical banquet was finally over, Xiao Zhang naturally refused to stay for a long time, got up and was about to leave, but saw the eunuch Wei Zhong coming over and whispered: "Deputy Head Xiao, please stay, go to the imperial study with the old minister, Your Majesty has something to tell you." ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, he had already expected that his words just now were only half of what he said, the emperor naturally wanted to find out, but he had to do it in private, after all, this was the ugliness of the imperial family, and it should not be publicized.
followed Wei Zhong to the door of the imperial study, according to the emperor's custom, eunuchs were not allowed to enter the imperial study, so Wei Zhong stopped when he walked to the door: "Deputy Head Xiao, please come in." ”
Xiao Zhang stepped in, only to see that the emperor had taken off his dragon robe, only wearing a white brocade plain robe, and his face was very bad, as if he had just experienced a serious illness.
"Chen Xiaozhang, see Your Majesty. Xiao Zhang also followed his own habit and did not kneel to the emperor.
The emperor didn't care at all, waved his hand casually, and said, "Excuse me." Just now in the Qi Heaven Palace, what you said, go ahead, I want to hear it. ”
Xiao Zhang asked tentatively: "Do you really want to say it?"
The emperor suddenly looked up at Xiao Zhang, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, but he didn't speak, this was a silent holy decree.
Xiao Zhang's forehead was sweating, and he didn't speak, but took out a piece of magic crystal from the storage bag and injected his power, and the content inside showed that it was the scene where Xuanyuan Hong urged the furnace of creation to refine the Xuanyuan Sword. It was Xiao Zhang who arranged the magic crystal in the Xuanyuan Hall in advance and recorded the content at that time.
The emperor read it quietly, and then asked, "Why did Xuanyuan Hong refine the Xuanyuan Sword, and what role did the prince play in it?"
Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "Chen Dou dared to guess that Xuanyuan Hong was assigned by the prince to urge the furnace of creation to refine the Xuanyuan Sword, however, Xuanyuan Hong secretly went against the prince's wishes and carried out his own plan. ”
The emperor asked, "What is the prince's wish, and what is Xuanyuan Hong's plan?"
Xiao Zhang said: "The prince should want to use the furnace of creation to copy a large number of the artifact Xuanyuan Sword and control it by him, so that his strength will be unprecedentedly strong, while Xuanyuan Hong wants to simply refine the Xuanyuan Sword and use it for his own use." ”
