28 The Prince's False Accusation (2)
In order to crush the prince's conspiracy, Wei Wuji returned to the palace again.
After being summoned by the Chu Emperor, Wei Wuji said one thing.
At the beginning, when he was in the Horse Mansion, he thought that the princess was cheating, so he drove away the prince, so he formed a grudge with the prince.
Wei Wuji was worried about the prince's revenge, and like a sharp word, he listed the charges and framed him, and he couldn't sleep well.
After hearing this, Emperor Chu couldn't help laughing: "Wuji, I thought I was suspicious, but you were decisive, but I didn't expect that you were more suspicious than me!" ”
"Although the prince is not successful, his heart is good, he will not do such a bastard thing like Li Yan."
"Besides... You are my colt, and I have done many battles, and no matter what others say, I trust you the most. ”
"Don't worry. What you feared, it will never happen. ”
"In this way, Erchen will be relieved."
Wei Wuji arched his hand and said: "Erchen still has to deal with military affairs, so he will retire?" ”
"Good..."
Emperor Chu shook his head with a casual chuckle.
"I really didn't expect that Wuji would doubt the prince, it's ridiculous..."
Emperor Chu sat back on the dragon chair and continued to review the recital.
Chu Yuan, the chief eunuch standing behind him, said suddenly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks... The colt doesn't say those things for no reason. Maybe I heard something and I was uneasy. ”
"Message?"
Emperor Chu turned his head: "What do you want to say?" ”
Chu Yuan said: "Recently, the prince and the concubine have indeed had a lot of quarrels, and everything is targeted. If it is said that the prince will frame the horse, it is also reasonable. ”
"Is that really possible?"
Emperor Chu shook his head and said, "I don't believe it!" ”
Two hours later.
The crown prince Chu Ji looked panicked and ran into the main hall.
Emperor Chu was taken aback and asked, "Why is the prince panicking?" ”
"Father, my son has something to report."
He had a notebook in his hand and a dozen letters.
Emperor Chu said: "If there is anything, get up and talk about it." ”
The crown prince said: "Thank you, father." ”
Chu Ji took two steps forward, put the folds and letters in his hand on the dragon case, and said, "Please take a look at the emperor." These were the sons who inadvertently discovered that Wei Wuji was suspected of rebellion. ”
"What did you say?"
Until now, Emperor Chu was unwilling to believe that the crown prince would frame Wei Wuji.
He picked up the letters and looked at them carefully.
It is full of correspondence between Wei Wuji and the monarchs of Zhao State, Northern Qi State, and Beiqing State.
The gist of it was that Wei Wuji wanted to master the army of Chu and intended to control it.
And to do this, Wei Wuji made a private alliance with the Zhao State, the Northern Qi State, and the Northern Qing State.
I want them to invade the state of Chu from time to time, so that the military power will always be in Wei Wuji's hands.
All the letters are in the handwriting of Wei Wuji and the kings of various countries.
There is also that recital, which was written by the crown prince Chu Ji, and listed many crimes.
After reading it, Emperor Chu looked extremely angry.
However, it was not Wei Wuji who was angry with him, but the crown prince in front of him.
Before that, he had always thought that Chu Ji was unlearned and idle, but he had no intention of harming people.
But he didn't expect that Wei Wuji was really right.
Even Chu Yuan, the chief eunuch, saw it.
And he, as the father of the crown prince, has always been kept in the dark!
At this time, Chu Ji secretly glanced at Emperor Chu, and when he saw Emperor Chu's angry expression, he was overjoyed in his heart, and arched his hand: "Father, a scourge like Wei Wuji must be eliminated!" I can't be ruined in one fell swoop..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Chu got up and walked over, kicking Chu Ji's ass: "You rebel, do you really think I'm confused?" Did you stumble upon these letters? ”
"And the memo you wrote, the charges listed on it are also written at random?"
Chu Ji was caught with a flaw.
The letters he handed to the Emperor of Chu, as well as the evidence listed, were very complex and wide-ranging.
It's definitely not something that can be written simply.
Even if Wei Wuji hadn't said anything about the framing in advance, Emperor Chu would have been able to tell the difference.
Wang Dafu's story is still vivid, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past?
"Father, you..."Chu Ji was directly dumbfounded.
He didn't understand what was wrong with him, and why didn't his father believe it?
Before he came, he had checked it again and again, and there were no flaws.
Even if Emperor Chu sent someone to investigate, he would definitely find evidence to prove that Wei Wuji had rebelled.
He has already arranged everything.
But now, Emperor Chu didn't ask about it, and he didn't send someone to verify it, so he decided that what he said was false.
Of course, Chu Ji would not admit this, and hurriedly said: "Father, what the son said is true. Wei Wuji really wants to rebel......"
"If my father doesn't believe it, he can send someone to verify!"
"I don't need to check!"
Emperor Chu said angrily, "Wuji's loyalty, how can you understand? How can you hide these letters from me by just finding someone to write them on your behalf and imitating the handwriting of others? ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Chu turned around and walked to the dragon case, and wrote a few lines with a pen.
These lines are all imitations of the kings of various countries.
is much more realistic than the handwriting on Chu Ji's letters.
Emperor Chu threw the written words to Chu Ji: "Did you see it?" This is the evidence you are talking about, can I believe it? ”
"This..."
Chu Ji was dumbfounded again.
He didn't expect that his father was so talented, and he could imitate the kings of various countries by writing a few lines casually.
"I didn't expect that you would frame Wuji for some misunderstanding!"
"What the hell do you think?"
"As the crown prince of Chu State, you will inherit the throne in the future, you are also narrow-minded and self-willed, how can you keep the territory of a country?"
Emperor Chu scolded him severely.
Immediately after, Emperor Chu pointed out the door and yelled, "Get out of here!" ”
Chu Ji crawled and ran out of the main hall.
After he left.
Emperor Chu seems to be ten years old.
He couldn't help but think that after a hundred years, if he gave the country to the prince, could the prince keep it?
This is a very serious question.
No matter how big a country is, no matter how strong its military strength is, if it does not have a wise monarch and a virtuous general, it will not be able to hold its territory.
Just like the previous Zhao State and Beiqing Kingdom, how powerful are the two countries when they join forces?
But in the end, they were defeated.
This is all due to Wei Wuji.
After the defeat in the war, Zhao Guojun also wanted to redeem Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang.
Emperor Chu believed that the monarch of Zhao did this not to punish Sun Jin, but to reuse him and defend the territory.
Such a mind is beyond even his reach.
What would happen if the crown prince was changed?
I'm afraid that he will be eager to kill Sun Jin immediately!
And this will also lead to the lack of generals who can fight well, the national strength will be weakened, and it will slowly go to extinction.
Emperor Chu thought a lot...
He began to feel more and more the importance of Wei Wuji to the Chu State.
Without Wei Wuji, the state of Chu would face a huge crisis.
Therefore, even if Wei Wuji had the intention of rebellion, he would not rashly punish him, but persuaded him with a gentle policy.
Then pull Wei Wuji back to the right path and return to the service of the Chu royal family.
Of course, Emperor Chu would never believe Chu Ji's words, let alone believe that Wei Wuji would betray the royal family of Chu.
