Chapter 126: Arguments
The emperor did not shy away from it, and directly explained to Cheng Rang that the matter was exposed by Ren Qixiu.
At this time, Cheng Rang showed his superb acting skills on his face.
"Third brother, how could the third brother..."Cheng Rang picked up the book that the emperor fell to the ground in disbelief at this moment, although he knelt on the ground, his body was still straight, and his eyes were full of incomprehensibility.
At this moment, the courtiers were all there, and Ren Qixiu suddenly felt that he was a little embarrassed.
The emperor is like this, which is tantamount to pushing Ren Qixiu into the fire pit, and the former brothers, friends, and brothers, but at this moment, it seems a little ridiculous.
However, since Ren Qixiu has done such a thing, he is also destined to tear his face with Cheng Rang.
simply broke the jar and broke it, and under the scrutinizing eyes of many ministers, Ren Qixiu resolutely stood up.
"Father, what the son says is true."
Ren Qixiu insisted that Cheng Rang had never rebelled against Cheng Rang and Cheng Rang, and the two naturally broke out into a fierce conflict above the court.
When the courtiers saw that the emperor didn't speak, they didn't have much to say.
However, seeing that the posture of these two people became more and more fierce, the emperor finally stopped the debate between the two.
"Everything depends on the evidence." The emperor said slowly.
Cheng Rang and Ren Qixiu's eyes both looked at the emperor at this moment.
Then the emperor said:
"Eighth brother, Prince Ning has some evidence."
"Please also ask my father to make it clear." Cheng Rang still looked indomitable at this time, insisting on clarifying for himself.
"You went to Di County this time, this tiger talisman was found in your house, how should you explain it?"
It seems that Ren Qixiu has already made complete preparations, and even today Cheng Rang has just left the house with his front foot, and his back foot has smoothly gone in with the holy decree to search.
Fortunately, only the tiger talisman was found, which still made the emperor breathe a sigh of relief, as long as there is no phoenix edict, then let him Cheng make a fuss, in the end, it can be regarded as a rebellion.
"Back to my father, the tiger talisman was accidentally obtained by his son in Di County, and he was preparing to give it to his father."
To Ren Qixiu's surprise, when faced with this tiger talisman that was planted against Cheng Rang, Cheng Rang simply recognized it.
This kind of behavior surprised him a little.
Could it be that Cheng Rang thinks this is a real tiger talisman?
There was a hint of luck in his heart, all of this was much smoother than Ren Qixiu imagined.
"Bold!" How could the tiger talisman be discovered by Cheng Rang so coincidentally, and Cheng Rang was able to admit this matter so calmly?
An ominous premonition seemed to rise in the emperor's heart.
The back of his neck was also a little cold, and his right hand, hidden behind the wide sleeves, tightly held the position of the supreme position of Nanzhou.
He suddenly had a sense of crisis, his position was originally disgraceful, and now, is it really going to be taken away so soon.
The emperor's heart is really difficult.
But looking at Cheng Rang's appearance, it seems that there is no taboo at all.
He could only use the angry rebuke of Cheng Rang at this time to cover up the panic in his heart.
With the emperor's angry rebuke, everyone knelt down again.
Cao Yi, who was hidden among the many courtiers, was different from the others who lowered their heads at this time, although they were kneeling the same, but Cao Yi raised his head and stared at the emperor tightly, until the emperor looked back, Cao Yi shook his head towards the emperor.
The emperor is afraid that Cao Yi is the most trusted among all of them.
Now that he received Cao Yi's signal, the emperor's tone at this time was a little soothing, and asked Cheng Rangdao:
"I've got it a long time ago, why don't you give it when you go back to the palace, until I start searching, you're like this, I'm afraid something is wrong."
Speaking of which, it has been a few days since Cheng Rang returned to the palace, and if it weren't for this, this tiger talisman would really not have seen the light of day.
Cheng Rang said to the emperor without humility or arrogance:
"Return to my father, because my son is lost."
"Lost?" The emperor seemed to have heard a big joke at this time, and asked Cheng Rang in disbelief:
"You know what this tiger talisman is."
Cheng Rang's eyes were like torches, and his eyes looked straight at the emperor:
"I don't know."
"The son just went to help his father and the emperor, and the rest of the past, the son doesn't know."
Judging from Cheng Rang's previous identity, it is very possible.
When Concubine Tang was still in the palace, Cheng Rang was just a prince who ate, drank and had fun, although he was not very shy, but he never showed any concern about the affairs of the court.
Even if he doesn't know, it seems to be a reasonable thing.
The emperor fell into silence and thought at the moment.
Ren Qixiu, who was watching this scene, naturally couldn't let Cheng Rang be so vague, and immediately pointed at Cheng Rang and said:
"The eighth brother is not such an innocent person, that day and night banquet, the eighth brother is so majestic."
This sentence reminded the emperor, and suddenly thought of when Cheng Rang led people to disrupt the banquet, and the people around Cheng Rang could all see that they were top masters.
However, after that, Cheng Rang gradually closed his door because of the death of his mother, and he really never seemed to care about what had happened for more than a year.
What about those people?
The power in Cheng Rang's hand seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.
The emperor's eyes looked at Cheng Rang, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Cheng Rang successfully passed the test at this time:
"Back to my father, that day was after the son told the prince the truth, the prince assigned his younger brother to do it. The person who protects the retainers is also sent by the prince, deliberately guarding against anyone who will continue to frame the retainers. ”
When Cheng Rang said this, his eyes glanced at Ren Qixiu.
"You." Ren Qi cultivates the qi knot.
Now that the crown prince Ren Tingyou is not in Beijing, and the prince's mother has passed away, it seems that Cheng Rang's words are true or false, whether Ren Tingyou is involved or not, it is difficult to verify at the moment, if he really bites to death, it is difficult for people to refute.
"The relationship between the prince and you is so good?" The emperor only knows that the queen and Concubine Jiang are old enemies, and Ren Qixiu and Ren Tingyou are also competing in secret, but for Concubine Tang's mother and son, the two seem to have a mediocre relationship with each other, only focusing on the emperor, but they don't care about anything else.
Ren Tingyou has a good relationship with Cheng Rang, and it doesn't sound so unreasonable.
Cheng Rang nodded firmly at this time:
"Erchen only felt brotherhood, and he didn't think too much about it at the time, I thought that the third brother was the same, but I don't know why the third brother framed me like this."
Cheng Rang was really a prince who didn't know anything about the world, and in addition to anger in his eyes when he looked at Ren Qixiu, he had three points of grievance, as if he couldn't figure out why Prince Ning, who he had always respected, said this.
"Then what about the 20,000 horses you brought as mentioned in Prince Ning's advice?" When Ren Qixiu heard the emperor ask like this, he understood the matter about the tiger talisman, but he was afraid that the emperor had really believed Cheng Rang, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and resent.
Speaking of 20,000 horses, Cheng Rang was a little puzzled.
"Why did Erchen say that there were 20,000 horses?"
Sui Yuesheng is going to Di County with Cheng Rang this time, if he defends Cheng Rang at this moment, I am afraid that the emperor will only think that he has been bought by Cheng Rang, but as for the defense, he will not believe it.
Even Cheng Rang had already signaled to Sui Yuesheng at the beginning and asked him not to get involved in this matter, so Sui Yuesheng at this time was so anxious that he could only do it in a hurry, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
However, looking at Cheng Rang's appearance, he thought that he could solve it himself, and Sui Yuesheng was still hiding from the sidelines to watch the show.
Ren Qixiu knew that Sui Yuesheng was Cheng Rang's person, and deliberately did not mention Sui Yuesheng's name in the admonition, only hoping that Sui Yuesheng would take the initiative to stand up and speak for Cheng Rang.
But Ren Qixiu didn't expect that Sui Yuesheng would be so calm at the moment, as if Cheng Rang really and he just went by to complete an explanation of the emperor, and more things, he clearly didn't know at all.
Sui Yuesheng knew that Ren Qixiu was looking at him, and the gaze on the top of his head was too strong, but Sui Yuesheng was the same as usual.
At this time, the emperor did not open his mouth when he heard Cheng Rang's rhetorical question, but there was a chuckle in the hall.
"Who's making a fuss?" Ren Qixiu's face was solemn, and he looked around to see who had such monstrous courage.
"The minister is Cao Yi." Cao Yi stood up at this time and saluted the emperor.
In this matter, the emperor just saw that Cao Yi had something to say, and since he was so active at this moment, the emperor did not stop him.
"It's just a shaft." Ren Qixiu looked at the official uniform on Cao Yi's body, the official rank is not high, even if he can enter this hall for pilgrimage, but he is only standing at the bottom, and now it is a dispute between the two princes, and it is also related to the country, this Cao Yi has such a big courage.
"Prince Ning, don't make up your mind so early." Cao Yi looked confident at this time, and smiled at Ren Qixiu.
With such a contemptuous smile again, Ren Qixiu had also seen it on the faces of other people in this hall, and immediately labeled Cao Yi as the opposite in his heart, and immediately wanted to refute Cao Yi's words.
Ren Qixiu also stood up and saluted slightly towards the emperor:
"Back to my father, this person is only afraid that he will deliberately favor the eighth child, and it must not be a good idea to stand up at this moment." Cao Yi was very surprised:
"Weichen didn't mention a word, why do you want to be biased?"
In the end, the emperor still has blind confidence in himself, but he also feels that Ren Qixiu is a little bit arresting and biting someone at this time, is there no one among the courtiers who can come out to refute.
If the suspicion of Cheng Rang just now was eight points, now I am afraid that there are only five points left.
"Prince Ning, you're really in a hurry." Cao Yi smiled slightly at Ren Qixiu, his face could only be described with disdain at the moment, Ren Qixiu was a little angry again, and he couldn't think of words to refute for a while.
"It's good to find out about such a thing." Hearing the emperor say this, Ren Qixiu could only step aside and no longer continue to stop Cao Yi from speaking.
Cao Yi stepped forward, saluted the emperor and said:
"Back to the emperor, Weichen only heard a little about the past many years ago, I heard that the army was 100,000 people, how could there be only 20,000 left now, and I couldn't help but sigh, the eight princes picked up the tiger talisman, the three princes can know it well, it is really a deep brotherhood."
With what Cheng Rang said just now, at this moment, he came to block Ren Qixiu even more, only to make Ren Qixiu even more speechless.
"Ridiculous!" At this time, Ren Qixiu could only reprimand Cao Yi like this.
The emperor turned his eyes around, Ren Qixiu's description in the admonition was really a little too detailed, as if he was waiting for the emperor to go to search for it, but now he only found the tiger talisman, if he goes to the outskirts of Qianyang City again, I am afraid that he will really be able to find more good things.
Ren Qixiu's temperament is exactly what the emperor understands.
"Third child, you are good to your brother."
Hearing the emperor's words, Ren Qi Xiu was afraid that the disaster would flow down.
