Chapter 504: Anger
Prince Xuande regretted it a little.
If he didn't listen to the crooked ideas of those old ministers at the beginning, but followed Lu Yun's suggestion and saved the fourth brother from the other party, would it be better to win the favor of Emperor Hui Chong?
Maybe it's a different scene now.
He doesn't have to worry about the unknown danger, even if the King of Jin is planted on his head in turn, as long as the fourth brother is not dead, he can take the initiative.
He didn't have to kneel alone in front of the main hall like he was now, like a lost dog.
Prince Xuande closed his eyes, and at this time, Zhou Yu'an's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The prince seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, but when he saw Zhou Yu'an glaring at him, it was obvious that the scene inside was not good.
The prince was suddenly even more afraid, but he could only step into the hall a little bit with his feet.
The door closed at the back, and the prince turned his head, and saw Emperor Hui Chong looking at him coldly, his usual kindness was gone, and there was only scrutiny and disappointment inside.
The prince's legs were weak, and he fell down directly, and then seeing that Emperor Hui Chong was still looking at him coldly, the prince didn't care about losing face, so he climbed in front of Emperor Hui Chong and said: "Father, father, the death of the fourth brother is purely accidental, and the sons don't know it...... Although Erchen usually doesn't like the fourth brother, it is also because of Gao Zhuo's old thief, he never thought of harming him, let alone killing him...... Father......
The prince is not acting at this time, he really feels innocent, he just didn't save the fourth brother, and the death of the fourth brother has absolutely nothing to do with him.
However, although he thought so, the prince definitely didn't dare to say it, and he didn't even dare to say what Lu Yun had told him, Emperor Hui Chong was angry, who knew what he would do.
"Since you were born, I have named you the crown prince, taught you personally, and then invited a famous teacher, I have high hopes for you, but I don't think of you but you are not filial, incorruptible and shameful, and a poisonous snake heart......"
When the prince heard this, his heart was already cold, and he exclaimed, "Father, the emperor ......"
Emperor Hui Chong's voice was calm, and he said, "Don't call me Emperor Father! Since you want to be the crown prince, then go back to the prince's mansion, and don't come out from today on......"
The crown prince looked at Emperor Hui Chong in disbelief, is this imprisoning him in the prince's mansion?
Without checking anything, such an order was given!
Although the prince is stupid, he has been immersed in the palace for many years, and he still has his heart, but at this critical juncture, he is blessed to his soul.
His voice was low, no longer defending himself, but sadly: "The fourth brother is suddenly gone, Erchen is as sad and sad as his father, everything is not clear at the moment, Erchen dares to promise that he will not harm the thoughts of the fourth brother." The father did not want to see the son, but the son understood that the son would return to the prince's mansion, and I believe that the father would definitely give the son a fair ......"
Without waiting for Emperor Hui Chong's reaction, he slammed his head three times, turned around and left the palace.
Looking at the back of Prince Xuande, Emperor Hui Chong frowned, but hesitated compared to Fang Cai's decisiveness.
Prince Xuande opened the door and walked out step by step.
Until he closed the door, Emperor Hui Chong did not stay, and the prince only felt that his heart was like ashes, and there was some despair on his face.
Zhou Yu'an greeted him and whispered: "Prince, ...... inside"
"The palace is going back to the prince's mansion for a while, and my mother is there with a word. ”
Anyway, he didn't care what Zhou Yu'an's reaction was, so he walked directly outside.
Zhou Yu'an's face was complicated, and after thinking about it, he retreated to the dark, found a little eunuch to come over and give a few orders, and the eunuch went straight to the queen's palace.
……
Emperor Hui Chong's attitude towards the crown prince made the ministers mutter, sighing that he was afraid that he would not be calm in the future.
And in the edict prison, there is also a tough battle to be fought.
The lobby of the Imperial Prison was brightly lit, and in the center of the hall was a tray with a bracelet on it, which had been broken into several pieces, but the value of the bracelet before it was broken could still be seen.
The head of the third division sat at the top, and Gao Zhuo sat on the side, looking coldly at Su Cheng, who was kneeling down.
Originally, two people were escorted, in addition to Su Cheng, there was also Lu Xin.
But after Jing Zhaoyin's people sent someone over and showed the record to the third director, Lu Xin was released.
Even if Gao Zhuo had a cold face and was not allowed to let go of anyone involved, because Lu Xin was the prince of Jingguo, and the evidence for the record was conclusive, it showed that the bracelet had already been reported stolen. can't let Su Cheng be imprisoned like that.
No matter how Su Cheng is the son-in-law of the Chen family, compared with Lu Xin, his foundation is shallow.
"How......'s it going?"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at Su Cheng with a gloomy face and drank a word.
He pointed to the bracelet in the center of the main hall, which was the one that had been handed down from the Jingguo Mansion.
And the flow of the bracelet, after several inquiries, pointed to the Su Mansion.
This is also the reason why the three divisions tried their best to send people to arrest Su Cheng.
"They are all colleagues, and this official will not embarrass you, so if you should confess, you should explain it as soon as possible, so as not to be punished by this official!"
Su Cheng looked up at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the whole person seemed to be upright, not weak at all.
"With just a pair of broken bracelets, the adults will ask the ministers to explain, what will the ministers explain?
Shangshu of the Criminal Department had expected that he would defend himself, but he was not angry, but said: "Naturally, I explained how the bracelet spread from your house to Nanfeng Pavilion...... This bracelet was obtained from the murderer who killed His Royal Highness, and some people confirmed that Mrs. Su was seen carrying this bracelet not long ago. ”
Hearing this, Su Cheng seemed to think it was ridiculous, snorted coldly, and then said: "What do you mean, sir? This bracelet is still the Lu family's thing in the final analysis, the lord is not bad for the Lu family, let go of the Lu family's eldest man, and let go of such an important person, but found the head of the minister, is it because of the small minister's slight words, is this deliberately bullying and slandering?"
"You ......"
Oppression and slander.
If this crime is seriously discussed, it will be a big one.
The good temper of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department disappeared completely, and he said: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink!"
Su Cheng was even more calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't forget Dong Shangde, the teacher of the predecessors and the future generations." ”
It's a tough bone!
At this time, Gao Zhuo, who had never spoken up, sneered and said: "My lord, although I am judged, there is an old man sitting here, and the old man will bear the responsibility if something happens." ”
As soon as these words came out, the three chiefs of the three divisions hesitated.
Although Gao Zhuo Yuwei is here, as long as the prince still has a chance to turn over, Gao Zhuo is not far from death.
They also heard the news that the crown prince was banned, but for Emperor Hui Chong, the crown prince has become the only choice at the moment, most of the other princes are not successful, and the four princes are dying again, Emperor Hui Chong is no matter how angry he is, he is just angry for a while.
However, how to tell Gao Zhuo has become a problem.
Su Chengke has no such scruples.
He looked at Gao Zhuo and said with a smile: "Gao Ge Lao is so big! Bear it? What does the Ge Lao take to bear? It is a big crime to beat the imperial court officials at will without knowing the crime, although the junior minister is in prison, the five-grade official body on his body is still there, as long as you make a word to the saint, with your current status, can you really bear it?"
After that, Su Cheng hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes full of ridicule.
