"Prince! What you're saying is true!? The emperor looked suspicious, his sparse black and inky eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kneeling in the hall with his head tilted slightly.

The crown prince bowed his head respectfully, and then replied: "The emperor is clear, and the sons dare not deceive their father." Please also ask your father to find out about this matter. ”

Su Cimo stood in the middle of a group of ministers, and could only hear the sound in the hall from a distance, as soon as she heard that the prince dared to say such unfounded words in order to slander Tuoba Heng, Su Cimo was a little overwhelmed with anger, she stood in place and sighed sadly, and then listened carefully to the prince's words.

What really puzzled Su Cimo was that this prince's remarks directly involved Lin Xiaoru, the head of the household, wouldn't he be afraid that Lin Xiaoru would jump off the wall in a hurry and tell all the inside stories of the prince's conspiracy with him!?

But this is not what worries Su Cimo, what worries Su Cimo the most is Tuoba Heng's safety.

The prince said this about Tuoba Heng, just to make him lose face in front of the emperor, and then be revoked.

The more Su Cimo thought about it, the more nervous he felt, and his eyebrows became more and more wrinkled.

As soon as the emperor heard the words of the crown prince, he angrily stretched out his hand and pointed to the downward position, and then shouted: "Ridiculous! There are still such courtiers in my court!? Isn't it boring!? ”

Suddenly, the faces of all the ministers in the audience became a little ugly, and some people had already begun to point at Lin Xiaoru standing in the crowd.

When Lin Xiaoru heard this, his legs weakened in fright, and he crawled out of the queue of ministers in a panic, and then knelt tremblingly in the middle of the hall, and then began to kowtow violently in the direction of the emperor.

"The emperor has atoned for his sins! The emperor spared his life. Xiaguan, Xiaguan really didn't mean to do such a hurtful thing! Lin Xiaoru's face was very ugly as he spoke, and then he kowtowed a few times to the emperor.

The emperor was very angry, thinking that the person he had worked so hard to cultivate, he could do such an errand for the sake of a few princes, and he was suddenly angry, and he hated to kill him immediately.

The emperor glared angrily, and then glanced at the prince and Lord Lin in the audience fiercely, and then said to Tuoba Heng, who was standing in a palace uniform over there, with a majestic look: "Tuoba Heng, I heard you call, why didn't you come out to explain!" What the hell is going on!? ”

Tuoba Heng heard the sound and walked out of the queue, but he had an unhurried look on his face, and there was only some nervousness in his eyes, but he didn't see a lot of panic.

Suddenly, many ministers in the audience felt that this matter did not seem as simple as it seemed.

The Seventh Prince didn't think anything would happen, but suddenly the crown prince opened his mouth and threw out such a bombshell news, and suddenly he also had a faint smile on his face, and watched with interest how the emperor would deal with his two brothers.

"Father, the sons and daughters did not do such a thing as His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked the father to find out." Tuoba Heng said in a gloomy tone.

When the prince heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and he immediately glanced at the household secretary next to him, only to see that the household secretary was so frightened that his body was still trembling, and then he looked at the direction of the emperor tremblingly.

The prince was disdainful in his heart, blaming this household secretary was really causing trouble for himself, at first he had already arranged for him, as long as he brought this matter out, this household department secretary would cooperate with him in time to accuse Tuoba Heng, but he looked like he had forgotten their previous agreement at all.

"Father! This matter was done by Tuoba Heng, and Erchen now has full evidence of this matter in his hands. The crown prince looked cautious and cautious, staring carefully at the emperor standing on the platform.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately raised his hand and ordered the prince to tell the news he knew.

The crown prince immediately shouted to the palace people behind him: "Come on, send me all the evidence I have prepared." ”

Immediately, a few people walked up, and the prince asked one of them to take out an account book, and then the account book, and then the person presented the account book in front of His Majesty, and then knelt down and said to the ninety-five supreme in the main hall: "Your Majesty, the younger one is the family member of the Three Princes' Mansion, and these account books are evidence that the Three Princes broke into the Hubu Shangshu Mansion that day and stole them from his mansion." Xiao was really angry at what the three princes did, so he had the courage to steal the things that the three princes had stolen from the Hubu Shangshu Mansion again, presented them to the emperor, and asked the emperor to make it clear. ”

The person who looked like a little guy deliberately spoke stupidly, and the emperor couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and then he was still suspicious, but when he heard someone say that his son had trespassed into the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, he knew about it.

He has been in power for many years, and he is not without nothing, and the spies placed by the emperor in the court will collect some information every day to inform him, of course, Tuoba Heng's private invasion of the household department Shangshu Mansion that day caused a lot of turmoil in the court, and the emperor's spies naturally did not miss digging this news, and secretly reported it to the emperor.

"Someone! Present the ledger in his hand to me. The emperor was not good, and said in a deep tone.

"Huh!" The chief eunuch answered, and quickly stepped off the stage to personally bring the tribute plate for the account book and brought it to the emperor.

At this time, Tuoba Heng, who had a breezy face, also became nervous, and then a pair of starry eyes widened a little nervously.

Unexpectedly, the real account book that he and Cimo had been searching for to no avail was actually in the hands of the prince's people, but he used this real account book to slander Tuoba Heng at the moment, saying that the money was all drawn from Tuoba Heng.

The emperor stretched out his hand and opened the account book with an angry face, he flipped through a few pages at random, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his heart was very angry.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he directly reached out and knocked over the account book in front of him on the ground.

"Ridiculous! Tuoba Heng, you are so bold! Not only do you dare to attack my court, but you also dare to do my military salary. The emperor said angrily.

Suddenly, the hall where there were still a few voices just now became extremely cold at this moment, as if the emperor's words were like ten thousand years of frost, freezing them all to death, making people dare not have any reaction.

Tuoba Heng only felt that his heart was beating violently in his chest, he tried his best to control his breathing, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the emperor, and then said: "Father forgive the sin, how dare you admit what the son has not done, this account book has nothing to do with the son, please also ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

"Your Majesty, this account book is indeed my Royal Highness! However, His Highness gave the money he received to a part of the house's family guards who ran errands for him, so that all of them were not allowed to leak this matter, otherwise they would not be given good fruit to eat. At this time, the subordinates in the Tuoba Heng Mansion looked righteous and righteous, and cried to the emperor with a very aggrieved look in their eyes.

The prince was very proud of a faint smile on his lips, and said in his heart that this Tuoba Heng still wanted to bring himself down with his own strength, but he was too self-conscious. If you don't look in the mirror if you have any strength, how dare you fight with his prince!?

The emperor glanced at the person who claimed to be from Tuoba Heng's Mansion, then looked at him with some strange eyes, and then glanced at the chief eunuch next to him, and the chief eunuch immediately understood the meaning, got up and asked if that person was from Tuoba Heng's Mansion.

Yin Zheng, who came up next to him, immediately came over and whispered to the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch immediately understood, walked to the emperor's side carefully, and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this person is the person in the palace of the three princes, and he is also the person who is the close attendant of the three princes, it seems." What he said is very credible. ”

The voice of the chief eunuch was very small, so small that it could only be heard by the emperor on the dragon platform and himself.

As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately swept the cup of tea on the case to the ground, making a "clanging" sound.

Suddenly, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were so frightened by the emperor's arrogance at this moment that they didn't dare to come out.

"Three princes! What else do you have to say!? Do you really think I'm a mediocre and incompetent dumb king!? How bold to do such a deceitful thing! You've really made me feel chills for you. The emperor said with an annoyed look, and a cold cold appeared in his eyes.

Tuoba Heng immediately waved his hands to Emperor Cheng Bing and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not the work of your sons. ”

"Now that you have this person as a witness, what else do you have to say?" The emperor still asked him unforgivingly.

"This person is afraid that he was forced by someone to commit this perjury, but Erchen definitely did not do anything to privately adjust food and salary, I am afraid that this family Ding was bought, so he wants to use him to forcibly add guilt to Erchen, and ask his father to decide." Tuoba Heng's speed of speech became extremely fast, and he also had a cold and grim look on his face, which could not be missed at all.

It seems that as long as he says the wrong thing at this moment, then the rest of his life will disappear with smoke, which has to make him more nervous than usual.

"Father, if the son asks this family member to give false testimony! So, dare to ask, Third Highness. You had to break into the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Housing that day, and in the end, the mansion was stolen, you should give us all an explanation for this matter. Now there is human and material evidence! Tuoba Heng, I believe that my father is discerning, and it is impossible not to see that you did steal this account book and then hide it in the mansion, right!? ”
