The King of Chu really grasped the subtle thoughts of the emperor.

On the one hand, the testimony is conclusive, and the king of Chu is the mastermind behind the case. As a genius, you must not sit idly by. On the other hand, as a father, how can he be suspicious of his son?

When the king of Chu cried that he didn't know anything about it, the emperor really began to waver.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was relaxed, the king of Chu knelt down deeply, and said with red eyes: "Erchen really doesn't know what's going on. Ask the father to put his son in prison, and then investigate the matter thoroughly. Find out the man who is secretly succumbing to unkindness and injustice. ”

There was still residual anger on the emperor's face, but his tone was much more relaxed: "The matter has not yet been decided, and you are weak, so you don't need to go to the prison for the time being." However, you also need to avoid suspicion. From this day on, you will stay in Yanfu Palace. Before the matter is clarified, you are not allowed to leave Yanfu Palace for half a step. ”

The king of Chu bowed his head in thanksgiving, and then retreated.

The secretary of the criminal department stood aside, and did not say a word from beginning to end.

The matter is obvious, and the king of Chu must be the mastermind behind the scenes. I don't know what is going on, and when I hear it, I know it's nonsense. However, the emperor is willing to believe such a statement. What else can a courtier say?

The emperor looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and ordered in a deep voice: "You immediately order someone to go to the palace of the king of Chu, and bring all the staff and subordinates around the king of Chu into the prison to ask the matter clearly." ”

The criminal department Shangshu respectfully agreed. I sighed secretly in my heart.

It seems that the emperor is planning to protect the king of Chu to the end

Isn't it easy for the King of Chu to find a substitute for the dead ghost? As long as someone is willing to take the blame, the king of Chu can get away safely on the grounds of "not knowing". Such a sinister prince with unscrupulous means. In the future, if he really becomes the prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, will it be a blessing for the people?

In Yeonfu Palace.

Empress Ye also received the news and was anxious and worried about King Chu. Suddenly, when he saw the King of Chu coming to Yanfu Palace, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and asked anxiously: "Ah Yun, what's going on with all this?" Is this case of fraud in the field really something you secretly instructed someone to do? ”

King Chu didn't hide it, and nodded: "Yes, it was indeed secretly ordered by me to do it." ”

Empress Ye's face turned pale. Angrily scolded: "You are so confused! How dare you do such a bold thing! If you want to invite people to buy people's hearts, you have to take risks. Use such tricks! ”

What's even more infuriating is that he didn't do it more secretly, and he was stabbed in front of the emperor.

Once the matter spread, the face of the king of Chu was gone. The emperor will also punish the king of Chu severely. Although there is no fear for life. But it is one step further away from the position of the prince.

King Chu frowned, and his tone was full of annoyance: "I made a careful plan before I moved. No one knows about it except my confidants. Who would have thought that it would be revealed. Those dozen or so fallen sons must have been instructed to sue the royal wriggling! ”

At this point, it's useless to complain more. It's still right to think about how to solve this matter.

Empress Ye suppressed the anger in her heart, thought for a moment and said, "In your opinion, who will be making you stumble in secret!" ”

King Chu snorted coldly, his face a little distorted: "It must be King Wei!" There is this one who has the ability to stab me in secret. Who else but him! ”

Empress Ye thought so, and the cold light flashed in her eyes: "I underestimated him before. Never took him to heart. I didn't expect him to have so much city and means! Now he has become your confidant. ”

King Chu sneered again and again: "He wants to take the opportunity to bring me down, this is wishful thinking." Don't worry about the queen mother, I have my own countermeasures. ”

Empress Ye was still worried: "I heard that those examiners couldn't bear the torture, and they have already written a confession to admit that you are the mastermind." Now that the testimony is in the hands of your father, what can you do to get away with it? ”

"Just find someone to blame." King Chu said lightly: "Don't worry about the queen mother, I have already made arrangements before entering the palace." ”

There is a strong confidence in the tone.

Empress Ye's frowning brows finally stretched a little: "It's really a good way to find someone to blame." However, there will always be some implications. ”

The prestige of the government and the opposition will definitely be affected.

Fame is something that can't be seen or touched, and it seems to be ethereal, but for the princes, it is the most important thing. At that time, King Qin was able to become the prince's confidant, because of his outstanding reputation.

If the king of Chu has a reputation of being "cunning and ambitious", it will never be a good thing for the dispute between the princes

King Chu also knew this, and said lightly: "I can't take care of these things now." Let's get through this first. ”

Where there is life, there is hope. As long as he can protect himself, he has the strength to fight with King Wei!

Wei Wangfu.

King Wei sat in his study with a thin note in his hand. The note was full of small letters. When I looked closely, I saw that the paper was written about what happened in the palace before.

When the emperor saw the testimony presented by the criminal department, he was furious. Immediately ordered someone to summon His Royal Highness the King of Chu into the palace. His Royal Highness the King of Chu cried and pleaded, claiming that he had no idea. The emperor ordered His Royal Highness the King of Chu to stay in Yanfu Palace, and asked the Criminal Department to go to the Chu Palace's Mansion to arrest and interrogate"

After reading it, King Wei hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction. casually handed the note to a few staff members around him: "This is news from the palace, you can also take a look." ”

Several staff members read it and immediately slapped their ass: "Your Highness is really wise!" I kept holding back, and only then did I give His Royal Highness the King of Chu a hard blow. ”

"This time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't eat and left. The evidence is ironclad, and he has no way to deny it! ”

The subordinates then ordered to go down and let the matter spread quickly. Let everyone see the true face of the king. ”

The last sentence obviously won the mind of King Wei.

King Wei snorted, and the staff member who had successfully offered the plan suddenly perked up, and hurriedly retreated to make arrangements.

Not to be outdone, the rest offered advice.

One of them whispered, "Your Highness, take advantage of his illness to kill him." The king of Chu is now trapped in the palace, and even if there is an arrangement in secret, he can't cope with it. It's not as good as this."

King Wei listened intently for a moment, and then glanced approvingly at the staff who offered the advice: "Good plan!" Just do as you say. I'll leave it to you! ”

The staff member suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded with a smile. casually asked: "There is something that my subordinates don't understand." What the King of Chu is secretly planning, our inner should not know. I wonder where Your Highness got the news? ”

King Wei smiled and glanced at the staff. (To be continued......)
