Chapter 402: King Zhennan is not guilty
Prime Minister Duan thought resentfully in his heart that things were finally moving forward in the direction he wanted, but it was really puzzling that he had encountered this kind of thing.
"I didn't expect that I had wronged the prince, it seems that this matter needs to be investigated better, the prince is innocent, and if the real murderer is found, the punishment must be doubled to relieve the hatred in his heart."
Prime Minister Duan said lightly, and forgot that the person who was eager to cut King Zhennan with a thousand knives just now didn't seem to be himself, and the courtiers despised Prime Minister Duan very much in their hearts, but this time they were also on the wrong side, if they mocked Prime Minister Duan, it would be just fifty steps and a hundred steps.
"What you said is right, only by punishing the people behind the scenes, some things can be investigated clearly, the emperor is sage."
Everyone is also full of the emperor's son.
The emperor saw that everyone did not object, so the unhappiness in his heart disappeared at this time, but looking at the expression of King Zhennan, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
At first, he felt that King Zhennan didn't want his identity and position for the sake of power and money, so the emperor was very disappointed in King Zhennan, even if he still had some expectations for him in his heart, but in the end he was diluted by the gossip above the court.
It's no wonder that the emperor is all this about, and now he is helpless, but since things have happened, or they have made a choice, no one can change the current situation, and they are very clear in their hearts.
The Nine Emperor Princes said excitedly to King Zhennan, "Great, now that the imperial brother has finally been proven innocent, I see how those people chew the root of their tongues behind their backs?" If someone talks like this nonsense in the future, see if I don't tear his mouth apart. ”
"It's been a hard time for you."
King Zhennan said with a smile, the two looked at each other and smiled, unprecedentedly relaxed, this is something that the Nine Emperor Princes have been secretly planning for a long time, of course, King Zhennan also knows.
King Zhennan then walked to the side of the Eighth Prince, and the Eight Prince's hands under the big sleeves were clenched, hiding all the tension in his heart.
He smiled and said to the Eighth Prince, "Didn't Uncle Huang say that all these things were done by me before?" Now that the truth is in front of you, does the Eighth Emperor Uncle still want to say something? ”
The eighth prince didn't expect that King Zhennan would suddenly attack him, in fact, he was also sure of this matter, but he didn't expect that since it was missed, some of these three workers would leak secrets, and this lame man ruined all his plans.
The Eighth Prince regretted it very much, if he had cut the grass and eradicated the roots, maybe there would not have been such a result, as long as the matter had happened, it was best to find a solution now.
The Eighth Emperor said with a smile, "All the evidence in front of the previous gossip is almost conclusive, and I have nothing to say about this, but since you have discovered these things, why do you need to ask me again now, some things can only be understood but not spoken, this matter, you are wronged, now that the truth is revealed, why be aggressive here, do you want me to admit your mistake to you?" ”
The eighth prince said with some annoyance, how good it would be if he could cut the grass and eradicate the roots of King Zhennan this time, but unfortunately it was not done, some things have come to this point, and he found that King Zhennan's power is too strong.
And he may not be able to calculate the king of Zhennan, some things are really difficult to do, but even so, if you don't try, how can you know?
Above the court, many ministers, in order to express their apologies, have invited the king of Zhennan to their mansion as guests, but the king of Zhennan has long seen what these courtiers are thinking, so he is naturally very evasive about their invitation.
The king of Zhennan has a lot of official affairs in the house, and the princess is pregnant and needs to be taken care of, so he will directly give it to him.
The emperor sat on the throne, looking at everyone's expressions, thoughtful in his heart.
Subsequently, the emperor asked Dali Siqing to investigate the matter again, including letting people entertain his subordinates.
Qian Wu placed him in King Zheng's mansion and waited for a court hearing the matter in the future.
There are also people who firmly believe that the king of Zhennan is innocent, and now he can be regarded as clearing his grievances.
In the court, a few people were very happy that Yuan Chufeng was safe and sound, and most of them were very angry because King Zhennan was fine, or because he was not sentenced.
It's just that things have come to this point, no matter what, there is no way to change the result in the end, the emperor already trusts the king of Zhennan, and they have no choice anymore, so it's better not to say it now, isn't it?
After the morning court, everyone left one after another.
King Zhennan and the Nine Emperors wanted to leave together, but they were directly stopped by the emperor.
The eighth prince looked at the emperor thoughtfully, originally wanted to stay, but in the end he was taken away by the prime minister, he glanced at King Zhennan coldly, and thought to himself, as long as he was in the day, he would never let King Zhennan restore his usual prestige.
Although King Zhennan was not sentenced this time, it didn't do anything, but his current reputation in the capital is half ruined, even if he wants to save his reputation, but now it takes a lot of energy and time.
At the moment, it seems that he still has a chance, so he can only take advantage of this time to do something to make the emperor recognize himself more, and the position of the crown prince wants to be captured.
The emperor personally called the king of Zhennan to the study and sent all his men back, including the Nine Emperors.
There are only two people in the huge palace: the emperor and the king of Zhennan.
King Zhennan stood calmly in the hall and did not speak, the emperor saw that he was silent, he sighed and said, "Now you blame me for not believing you, so you hate me in your heart, right?" ”
King Zhennan shook his head, he said, "That's not the case, Erchen just thinks that the father doesn't have a word from Erchen, so he will directly put Erchen in the prison, if it weren't for the physical evidence, now Erchen is probably unjustly imprisoned, so many years, I think I am conscientious to the court and the people, but I didn't expect that in their hearts, they are still correcting the mistakes of the king, and now, the king knows that not everything can go as he wants, so don't force it." ”
The emperor felt more and more guilty, remembering the ruthlessness of his previous methods, including the doubts about the people around him, so he was very uneasy.
"Today's grievances, I understand it in my heart, so don't worry, I will never regret what I promised you, and when this time the matter is over, we will give you an official and a knight, including the child you brought, and I will also give her a beautiful title, this is my debt to you, but you must not complain about me, after all, this is not what I think in my heart, please understand."
