Chapter 327: Counterattack
Everyone's minds were seduced by this incomparably loud voice, and they immediately turned their heads and looked at them directly.
Soon, Su Cimo walked out of a group of ministers, he walked quickly to the open space in front of the jade car, and then Ying Ying bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Tuoba Heng cannot be taken down. In this matter, the third prince may really be innocent. Su Cimo asked the emperor to let Tuoba Heng go with sharp words.
Suddenly, the emperor's expression became a little ugly.
"No matter what you say, I can't believe anyone's words." The emperor said to Su Cimo in a different tone, still frowning and displeased on his face.
"Father, this case is indeed not the work of the son-in-law, this household servant is working with the son-in-law to investigate the person who lost the household's salary, and please listen patiently to the evidence we brought." Tuoba Heng calculated carefully, but decided to show the emperor the sufficient evidence that he had not prepared.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately nodded in response, and then ordered: "Since you have already prepared the evidence, then hurry up and take it out." ”
The crown prince didn't expect that the emperor would be able to tolerate Tuoba Heng coming so indiscriminately in the court at this time, so he said to the emperor with an anxious face: "Father! No! The evidence of this Tuoba Heng's guilt is conclusive, and you can't give him another chance to quibble. ”
"Oh!? His Royal Highness the Prince, as the Crown Prince, you have a high position, don't you even have the heart to tolerate people at this point!? Su Cimo glanced at the prince with strange eyes beside him, and suddenly the prince glared at Su Cimo angrily.
"What a boldness, I am the crown prince, how can you, a courtier, criticize indiscriminately in front of the saint, do you also want to question the majesty of the royal family!?" The prince's voice was serious, and his expression was even more stern to look at Su Cimo.
Suddenly, Tuoba Heng shook his head helplessly in his heart, he had been thinking about Su Cimo to take care of himself, don't be like before, he was taken down by the prince and framed with him, there is no way to escape.
But today, he openly told the prince in the early court that he could force him to do something that hurt Su Cimo.
The emperor watched the prince force his ministers to bow down to him in the audience, although it was not too wrong, but after all, it made people feel that the prince was too rude.
So the emperor pretended to cough a few times with a slight displeasure, and finally the prince seemed to see the displeasure in his father's heart, and closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen does not dare to question the majesty of the royal family, but there should always be a conclusive evidence as a basis for judging guilt and punishment. Although you have provided a lot of evidence to prove the guilt of the three princes, these are not strong evidence, because these evidences can be fabricated out of thin air to make people believe. Su Cimo had a lot of anger hidden in his heart, and when he saw that the prince was a thief and had to take Tuoba Heng down for punishment, he suddenly felt even more unhappy in his heart.
When the prince looked at Su Cimo's clever eyes, the way he looked at him at this moment made people feel cold, and suddenly the prince was unhappy in his heart.
"I'm talking about Tobe Squiro! Why do you want to blindly shield the three princes!? Could it be that you and him really have something unsavory in private, once the third prince is exposed, I am afraid that you will also be involved, so are you afraid!? The prince stood up with a vicious look on his face, looking at Su Cimo in front of him with a condescending look and anger in his eyes.
Su Cimo gritted his teeth in anger, and was angry in his heart, this prince is really a dog jumping off the wall, and when he sees that he can't eat a cooked duck, he wants to speak ill of people.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to continue to contradict His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Tuoba Heng, who was kneeling on the other side, suddenly gently tugged at the hem of her clothes, signaling her not to act so recklessly.
Su Cimo felt the pull of her hand, and then she turned her eyes to look at Tuoba Heng behind her, but she saw Tuoba Heng's cold face, but her dark eyes were full of concern for her.
Tuoba Heng shook his head at her gently, signaling her not to continue arguing with the prince, Su Cimo understood what he meant, just nodded lightly, and said no more.
The emperor saw that they finally stopped talking, and the anger that had been brewing in his heart for a long time had nowhere to vent when he saw this scene.
What each of them said is not unreasonable, and there are reasons to believe it, but to break through those who lie and see the truth and the original truth of the matter, we can only rely on evidence.
"Since both of you are very reasonable, then present your evidence to me in this court. I can decide whose fault it is! The emperor looked at the few people standing in the center of the hall with an indifferent look.
As soon as the prince's gang and Tuoba Heng's gang heard the emperor's words, they all immediately glanced at each other, and they all seemed to see the enemy, and the scene was full of gunpowder for a while.
But Su Cimo was very proud in his heart, because the prince's people had basically confessed all the false evidence they had prepared, and now it was time for the real evidence to appear.
"Cimo, you still take the old ministers down, and I will explain the next thing to my father. No matter how it ends! I won't blame you all. Tuoba Heng's face was slightly sallow, but it didn't disturb his handsome and compelling temperament at all.
As soon as Su Cimo heard this, he immediately stopped, so he shook his head at Tuoba Heng, and then said, "No need, this time, we won't leave you alone to go to prison." ”
Tuoba Heng was a little angry, but he was in the Qianqing Palace at this time, otherwise he really wanted to pull Su Cimo to preach well.
"Heng'er, okay, don't you have evidence!? Then take it out on top of this court and let me and the civil and military officials all take a look. The emperor looked at Tuoba Heng, who had some eyebrows in his eyes and Su Cimo, with a look of impatience.
Tuoba Heng immediately responded, but he couldn't, although he didn't understand why this Su Cimo was thinking about sending him to death, but if he couldn't come up with anything to prove his innocence now, I was afraid that he would only become the laughing stock of this court.
"It's my father." Tuoba Heng answered, and then he turned to look at Chen Feng, who was waiting outside the hall, and gave him a gesture.
Chen Feng immediately stepped forward, and then he was still holding a stack of things like drawing paper in his hand.
Tuoba Heng took the stack of drawing paper, then knelt down on one knee and presented the drawing paper and said, "Father, please take a look at this drawing paper for yourself." ”
The Emperor asked someone to pass it on, and he squinted and carefully reviewed it, but it was just a topographical map of some mansions.
"What's the use of that!? I'm asking you for evidence, not a few topographical maps of the mansion. The emperor said slightly puzzled.
"Back to my father, these things don't look useful, in fact, this is the layout plan of the prince who privately transferred the military salary issued by the imperial court, and then secretly hid it in several warehouses in the mansion." Tuoba Heng said with a cautious look on his face, his head lowered.
When the emperor heard this, his eyes immediately widened with a look of disbelief.
"What you're saying is true!? In the Prince's Mansion, there really are so many silver vaults hidden!? The emperor questioned Tuoba Heng in a bad tone.
"Yes, Father. That day, I went to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion as a guest, and I also heard that Lord Su sneaked into the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to find the real account book recorded in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion in the past few years, and Erchen went to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion in order to help Master Su, and as a result, Erchen got a fake rumor, and went to look around to find that Master Su did not go. It's not the rumored thing that he went to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to steal. Tuoba Heng said in an indifferent tone, without too much expression on his face.
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately slightly displeased, and then said, "Is this the only evidence you said!?" ”
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Third Prince said that Lord Hubu Shangshu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should work together to steal the food and salary issued by the imperial court to the border passes, and Weichen has more conclusive evidence here! Su Cimo's smiling eyes looked very clean and thorough, and he looked at the emperor fixedly at this moment, and the emperor immediately nodded.
"You say."
"Your Majesty, this is what the ministers hid in their clothes and brought to the court, you can ask the adults in the palace to carefully check the authenticity of the notes of the three account books in my hand, this is the real account book, which is the amount that the household department has helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deduct from the salary in the past few years, this account
The previous title and the affiliation are very clearly recorded. Believe in this one, it can prove that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is framing the three princes!? Su Cimo said, and lightly handed the booklet to the chief eunuch not far in front of him.
The emperor took the booklet and went down to ask someone to check it, and suddenly the prince's evil deeds were made public, which caused the disdain of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military for a while, and everyone looked at the prince standing here with a little annoyed and disgusting eyes from the calm look just now, and they all looked at him one by one.
The Seventh Prince originally watched the excitement, and thought that this time Tuoba Heng would no longer be able to pretend to be unfathomable in front of him all day long, but who knows, this Tuoba Heng was not only not dragged into the water by the prince, but His Royal Highness the Prince, but he was harmed by this Tuoba Heng and couldn't get out.
Immediately, the Seventh Prince's heart was slightly displeased, but he didn't expect that Su Cimo had now grown into a person who had the courage to do this, and he had to make the Seventh Prince's heart feel troubled.
If the crown prince really did that kind of thing, would he still be afraid that his position as the crown prince would always sit safely!? When the seventh prince thought of this, his heart was very happy, and immediately he walked to the position in front of the palace with a leisurely step, and bowed to the emperor respectfully.
"Father, it's better to pass this matter like this, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also neglected for a while, so he misunderstood the third brother."
