Chapter 326: Framed and framed
The prince looked at Tuoba Heng with a gloomy look on his face, looked at him with a slightly displeased expression, and said.
The emperor didn't want to believe that these things were true, but when he saw this scene in the audience, Tuoba Heng was actually stunned by the prince's words, and suddenly became more and more sure that Tuoba Heng was inseparable from the account, and gradually felt that this matter was done by Tuoba Heng, and the reason why he wanted to quibble and say that this matter had nothing to do with him was just to escape the blame.
"Smack!" There was a shock, so shocked that no one in the court dared to speak anymore.
"Tobe Shangshu, what happened to the theft in the house that day!? Also, this matter is inseparable from your household! Can you explain to me what the hell is going on!? The emperor glanced at the three kneeling people in the audience with a majestic expression, and his unkind eyes revealed a kind of anger that made people feel frightened when they saw it.
Hubu Shangshu and the crown prince had already thought about how to solve this matter, and now when the emperor asked, he had already prepared a set of rhetoric in his heart, that is, according to the prince's instructions, all the things this time were pushed on Tuoba Heng's body, so that they could withdraw from this greedy case without worry.
"Your Majesty! Spare your life! Wei Chencheng didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty! There was a Kongwu wrestler beside the three princes, and the old minister returned home that day to prepare for rest, who knew that this wrestler had already been ambushed in the old minister's bedroom, and suddenly appeared in the dark and forced the old minister to force the old minister to the neck of the old minister, forcing the old minister to promise them to help the third prince take out a part of the salary, and make some false accounts in the household. If not, the wrestlers around the three princes said that they wanted the old minister to die on the spot. Lin Xiaoru, the head of the household, looked like his heart was broken, and he knelt on the ground in shock and horror and cried, which was indescribably pitiful.
The emperor frowned very displeased when he heard this, and wanted to ask, but the household secretary consciously said: "Weichen was afraid that they would rob the money, and he was going to appease him first, so he agreed casually, thinking that when the right time came, he would inform His Majesty of this matter and ask His Majesty to decide." But I didn't think about it, and before I could present the account book to His Majesty to bear the guilt, the three princes couldn't bear it anymore and broke into my mansion without permission. ”
The emperor was very angry when he heard this, and the anger in his heart was constantly gushing like a spring, looking at Tuoba Heng, who was still calm in the audience, the anger in the emperor's heart was almost reaching the extreme.
I always knew that this Tuoba Heng would play with guns and sticks, and he had a set of amazing kung fu in his hands, but he didn't expect that he would use this hand to persecute his old ministers in the court, but it was really a wolf's ambition!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that if such a person was not eliminated as soon as possible, he was afraid that it would be detrimental to his government in the future.
The emperor made up his mind in his heart, and even if he waved his sleeves, he didn't want to listen anymore.
"Someone! Suppress Tuoba Heng to me, and choose a day to ask for punishment. The emperor said in a bad tone.
As soon as Tuoba Heng heard this, his face sank, and his heart felt bad, and four or five guards appeared behind him, and then they came forward to clamp Tuoba Heng and drag him away.
But no matter how much strength the guard used, a few people couldn't pull Tuoba Heng, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Father! Just listening to the words of these people, your father understands the righteousness, can't you even give your sons a chance to argue!? Tuoba Heng had a very angry look on his face, and while resisting the pull of several people behind him, he preached to the emperor with an ugly face.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately stopped those people and immediately pulled him down.
"Tell me how I can trust you to have nothing to do with this." The emperor's face was cold, and there was no longer any expectation for Tuoba Heng in his eyes.
Tuoba Heng got the emperor's consent, so he stood up and looked at the two vicious people with femme fatales kneeling in front of him with a lofty posture.
"Hubu Shangshu, you said that I stole your account book without permission, but what is the real evidence! And if you give the food to my house every time, what witness can you testify!? Tuoba Heng stood behind Hube Shangshu with a gloomy face.
Hubu Shangshu didn't think that this Tuoba Heng would stand up and ask him rhetorically, but who knew that it happened.
"This!? Of course, His Highness sent people to the household department to take away all the money. Your Highness, why did you suddenly not admit it!? Hubu Shangshu Lin Xiaoru glanced at Tuoba Heng with a sinister look.
"Good! Since you said that it was pulled away by my people, what about the military department!? When the food and salary are low, why don't the ministers of the military department keep quiet!? Could it be that I and the ministers of the Ministry of War have already agreed that this matter cannot be publicized to the public!? Tuoba Heng said with an ugly face, and the tone was even more free and uninhibited, which made all the ministers present gasp unconsciously.
"Bingbu!? Well, the affairs of the Ministry of War Weichen didn't know what method His Highness used, so they didn't dare to report it to His Highness. Lin Xiaoru continued.
"Alright! So tell me, how long is the total amount of food and salary recorded in this ledger? Why is it that for so long, when you go in and out of the palace every day, no one sees that you are different from usual, and dare not report it to the emperor!? You obviously have the opportunity to tell the emperor about my evil deeds, but you don't, you have to wait until the East Window incident happens, and then you put all the blame on me for this matter. Tobe Shangshu, you played this hand really well! Tuoba Heng said in a cold tone.
Suddenly, the head of the household department glanced at Tuoba Heng with some faces, and then said, "How can there be such a thing!" It's just that this ......." The more Lin Xiaoru said it, the smaller his tone became, and even he felt that this lie could not be made up, but he was afraid that if he continued to say it, some old ministers in the court would find out that this matter was indeed done by his Lin Xiaoru, not His Royal Highness.
"Father! This Lin Shangshu has nothing to say, proving that the evidence he just said is false, otherwise it would not have been possible to reveal the flaws so quickly. Tuoba Heng folded his hands and bowed to the emperor, and then said.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately felt strange. Obviously, the head of the household just now still looked righteous, but now he was a little scared and didn't dare to look up.
The crown prince was very dissatisfied with the rhetoric of this household book, but he didn't expect him to teach him to be smart every day, and to say something that was easy for the emperor to believe in order to deceive trust, but at this moment, he was forced by Tuoba Heng to not even say a complete sentence.
Immediately, the prince's heart panicked, so he turned his head to the left, and several ministers standing there were all confidants of the prince's party.
When several old ministers saw that the prince ordered them to speak out to stop Tuoba Heng's framing, they immediately became aware of it.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you misunderstand Lin Shangshu in this matter, Lin Shangshu is old, and he has suffered from some dementia in recent years, so there is little connection between speaking and doing, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness also took advantage of this gap, so he started to seek the salary issued by the household department." An old minister came out and knelt down on one knee to say to the emperor Cheng Bingdao.
"Your Majesty, it is true. Weichen has also heard of this matter for a long time, and the three princes have transported all the privately transferred food and salaries to a warehouse in Beijing for storage, but His Royal Highness has done it extremely secretly, in fact, the people in the internal affairs office have already noticed it. Another old minister also came out to accuse the third prince Tuoba Heng.
Suddenly, Tuoba Heng was like the target of everyone, and he was firmly controlled to death in this hall, and he lowered his head in anger and stopped arguing, because he knew that even if he said anything more, it would be useless.
"Tuoba Heng, what else do you have to say!?" The emperor glared angrily at the handsome figure standing in the audience.
"Father!" Tuoba Heng shouted slowly, blaming himself for not knowing where the real account book went, otherwise he would not have reached such a passive situation now. I'm afraid that what those old ministers said about the warehouse is unwarranted, but as long as the prince is willing to blame him for this case, he believes that the prince can buy all the joints to harm him.
So, instead of arguing like that, it's better not to say anything and wait quietly for the timing to change.
When the old ministers behind the three princes saw this situation, they all stood up with great worry in their hearts and wanted to speak for the three princes.
"Come on, press Tuoba Heng into prison!" The emperor said in a displeased tone.
"Your Majesty! Think again! His Royal Highness is honest and to the point, and he is a well-known and kind person in the court, how could he do such a thing that violates the emperor's order!? Please also ask the emperor to investigate it before punishing the crime! The old minister, who thought that his beard was gray, ran out to argue for Tuoba Heng.
When the prince saw this, he was displeased, so he bowed his hand to the emperor and said: "Father, this matter is indeed the work of the Third Highness, otherwise, the sons and daughters will not dare to report to you directly with evidence." Your Majesty, you must punish the unhealthy tendencies in this palace, so that those who covet your throne will receive the retribution they deserve. ”
Suddenly, many old ministers stood up to help the prince speak, and they all shouted downward, "The emperor is clear." "Hoeing rape for the country" and other words, the entire hall suddenly became a noisy scene.
The emperor was very upset, and immediately called the chief eunuch next to him to silence everyone.
"Today's matter, I have also made a decision, let's bring the three princes into the Zongren Mansion for interrogation first." The emperor looked unwilling to say anything more and commanded the minister next to him.
"Your Majesty! Never! ”
At this time, under the hall, a loud and crisp voice came with a sense of coquettishness of the three-point daughter's family.
Suddenly, the emperor standing in front of the main hall was stunned.
