Overnight, the situation changed again.

Through the spread of the common people in the expulsion procession, the accusation of King Peng's treason has spread throughout the city of Chang'an. After the people who should have visited every household to worship the New Year said the auspicious words of celebration, they couldn't wait to talk about the most fashionable and fresh thing of "Dengwen Drumming". Even the image of the master of the Peng Palace, who played the drum, became a little taller in various legends, like a hero who endured humiliation.

Even the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting seems to have been overshadowed by this incident. The festive and long New Year's rituals were arranged by the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple in a particularly tight manner. After the prime ministers led the officials of the three provinces, six ministries, nine secretaries and other officials into the Taiji Hall to congratulate the saints, the New Year's pun read by Qin An, the Duke of Wu Guo, was much shorter than in previous years, but it was still the four and six, quoting scriptures, and awkward. Immediately afterwards, the time for sending gifts and congratulations to the governors of the foreign states, the prefectures of the prefectures, and the four feudal states also decreased a lot.

Taking advantage of the time saved, the sage officially issued an edict ordering the three priests, King Chapeng, to plot against him. A group of low-ranking officials who did not know what had happened were all stunned, and Xu was a little dizzy on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, but a few people did not react and rushed out to defend King Peng.

On the throne, the saint looked at them with an unchanged expression, as if he didn't care. The powerful prince Xian did not live up to everyone's expectations and took the initiative to come out: "The master of King Peng's mansion beat the drum and accused King Peng of rebellion, according to the law, the case should be thoroughly investigated to confirm whether this crime is true." Why is it that before the evidence is found, several people can't wait to avenge King Peng? Could it be that you can testify for King Peng? ”

In the absence of evidence at present, it is natural for King Peng to testify for the alleged treason against the country. The few officials who rushed out rashly even regretted their intestines, they had long been accustomed to acting under the coercion of King Peng, and they lost their minds for a while when they heard the word "King Peng". Now that he has just reacted, King Peng has been planted in the trap, but he has also been pulled down.

“…… Weichen just, just thinks that with the heart and character of His Royal Highness King Peng, he will definitely not do such a thing!! ”

"Yes! His Royal Highness King Peng is loyal to the saint and deeply hates rebellion, how can he be treason and rebellion? This is definitely a false accusation!! That master must have a personal vendetta with His Royal Highness King Peng! The three divisions must be checked by a good student!! ”

Such a panicked justification seemed to make them even more suspicious. As the overseer of the imperial history, Wang Zixian immediately admonished: "Qiqi sage, Weichen thinks that people who know so much about King Peng's temperament and character must have a close relationship with King Peng. If the three divisions also check these people, I can't say what evidence can be found to confirm King Peng's innocence? In other words, it is to confirm that King Peng has the heart to form a party, and to collect all the henchmen who conspired against him together.

"Yes." The sage's jaw. Immediately, Qianniuwei swarmed up and escorted these officials out of the Taiji Hall and handed them over to Dali Temple for disposal. Seeing this, the officials at all levels in the hall all had their own thoughts, and their expressions also changed subtly. Of course, there are a few people among them who conspire with King Peng, and when they see that the matter is in danger of being revealed, they can only pray to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and King Peng will not leave any evidence in his palace.

After the end of the court, the sage returned to the Liangyi Hall and quietly waited for the follow-up report of the trial of the three divisions. Originally, all the courtiers should go home to celebrate the New Year at this time, and continue to enjoy the family fun of Xiu Mu and their children and grandchildren around their knees - however, in addition to Qin An, the Duke of Wu Guo, who was "ill" and had to return to the house to "recuperate", the six important ministers of Shangshu Province such as Xu Ye of Jian Guogong, as well as the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, all followed the saint into the Liangyi Palace.

King Lu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the prime ministers in the distance, and looked at King Jing who was a little hesitant from time to time, as if he wanted to stop talking. Although he was a little reluctant before, he was obedient to King Peng. Looking back now, it's terrifying!! If this case of rebellion is confirmed, then it is very likely that he will be implicated!! Even if it is for his own sake, he must not let this case go smoothly! But he only has a false position, how can he affect the investigation of the case? After thinking about it, the only person who can save him is the brother in front of him.

"Brother...... Brother...... This time, the saint was too ruthless. So, he lowered his voice and said to King Jing, "In our generation, there are only three brothers left. If something happens to Shichiro, what will you and I do in the future? I've always been close to Shichiro, but this time...... This time it's ...... too."

"Shut up! Be careful! King Jing glanced at him, he quickly closed his mouth and looked around nervously: "Brother save me......"

"Stupid! You've always only listened to Shichiro, but I just can't listen to me!! Some time ago, who asked you to get involved in King Yue's case?! How much benefit did he and An Xing give you?! ”

"Also...... Not much good either...... It's just four or five big Zhuangzi, a little gold, silver and jewelry......"

"Oh, just for the sake of these things outside your body, you can toss yourself into it alive! Is it gold, silver and jewelry that matters? Or is your life at stake?! King Jing believes that King Lu really has no courage to rebel and no ambition. Because he had no special hobbies, but loved money, he married a princess who loved money like him, and gave birth to a group of money-loving children. Because of this, as long as you can get enough money, Lu Wangfu is full of loopholes.

Thinking of this, King Jing suddenly felt a little tired, and couldn't help but think of the first emperor. Why were these two younger brothers so peaceful when the first emperor was here? Just eating, drinking, and having fun, and occasionally making some troubles doesn't hurt. Now it's -- is it really that he, Zong Zhengqing, is too incompetent? Not only did there be a rebel in the family, but even there were frequent accidents in the clan, and almost all the people with bad intentions were instigated.

After hesitating in place for a moment, King Jing finally sighed and followed King Lu with him: "Let's go, if there is such a case, what is the first day?" "Even if they all stay at home, it will never be possible to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, but it is better to go to the Liangyi Hall and wait for the news, and feel better.

At the same time, Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, who is Dalizheng, came to King Peng's mansion and presided over the search of the house. The people who assisted him in this matter were all low-level officials with the most clean and credible net worth among the three divisions. The others who were suspicious remained in the three divisions, either watching the "new witnesses" who had just appeared in the trial, or anxiously waiting for the evidence they sent back.

It was not an easy task to raid King Peng's mansion, but the young King of Xin'an had already received the guidance of the old foxes and had enough experience. The study room in the outer courtyard is naturally the top priority, and the bedrooms of King Peng and Princess Peng must not be let go. After thoroughly investigating these heavy places inch by inch, the secret room and darkroom must be found one by one. After that, the cellar, the storeroom, and the floor of the Xuan room where King Peng frequented must also be carefully inspected.

All in all, there may be evidence hidden in any corner of the entire Peng Palace, which should not be taken lightly.

"Report! Discover the secret room in the study room of the outer courtyard! ”

"Report! Discover the secret room in King Peng's bedroom!! ”

The so-called secret room, once discovered, undoubtedly means that there is countless "evidence" hidden waiting to be discovered. King Xin'an couldn't help but smile slightly: "Take me to have a look." ”

From the case of King Yue, he not only gained frustration and pain, but also learned that if you want to hit with one blow, you must be well prepared. The counterattack arranged by the saint himself took a full three months to be quietly prepared, how could there be any mistakes? Even if the detailed work of the installation did not get the thing done, at this moment, he had enough time to "obtain" the evidence, who was in charge of searching for evidence.

Of course, if it can, it is best not to pass through the hands of these investigators, otherwise it will definitely leave hidden dangers in the future. At this time, we can only hope that the meticulous works planted in King Peng's mansion can take advantage of the opportunity of these three months and Chinese New Year's Eve to complete what should be done.

The saint's early arrangement did not disappoint. It only took half a day for Li Hui to return to the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace with "sufficient" evidence to report: "Qi Yu Majesty, the minister found the tokens of his dealings with the Western Turkic tribe and the Xue Yantuo tribe in the secret room of the study room of the outer courtyard and the secret room of King Peng's bedroom!" In addition, there are witch things buried near Princess Peng's bedroom!! ”

Hearing this, all the ministers present were shocked, and they didn't seem to be surprised. King Lu trembled and hid himself behind King Jing, lest he attract anyone's attention.

The chamberlain presented the box containing the evidence to the chamber warden, who carefully opened the lid in front of the saint. The saint only glanced at it twice, then frowned, and said with a lost face: "I never thought about it...... Uncle Peng Wang actually ......, "He seemed to be extremely disappointed, and he seemed to have lost his strength and spirit in an instant, and even his eyes were a little red."

Seeing this, the king of Xin'an County opened his eyes with water marks, and choked up: "Uncle don't be sad, maybe ...... Perhaps Peng Wang's uncle and grandfather were able to explain the origin of these evidences? Maybe...... Are these just my uncle's and grandfather's collections? Those so-called witch things are just restless in the house? ”

"......" The important ministers listened to it, and they all said silently in their hearts: Could it be that this uncle and nephew have developed an inexplicable tacit understanding? Are you all in love with this kind of "similar to the first emperor" of intense feelings? Why bother? The first emperor came casually, but you are making a show!! Who here doesn't know that this case was caused by your uncle and nephew? Don't deliberately make excuses for King Peng to show his "shock", "disappointment" and "hardship"!!

Wait, the saint can still say - the king of Xin'an is so young, the reaction is very likely to be true? It is worthy of the bloodline inheritance, think about the first emperor, and then think about King Pu......
