Hu Bowen claimed that his confession was forced by others, Longtai was stunned for a moment, but King Huainan changed color slightly.

"Compelled by man?" Sima Changshen had already lost no time in shouting: "Hu Bowen, you said that this confession was forced by someone, do you mean that this recruitment is not the truth?" ”

King Huainan said coldly: "Hu Bowen, the confession you signed and detained was interrogated by the Criminal Department, what do you mean by being forced by people?" ”

"Your Majesty, someone threatened the lives of the criminal minister's family members, and ordered the criminal minister to write this confession to frame the prince of Zhenguo." Hu Bowen raised his head and said: "The criminal minister thinks about it, the emperor is magnificent, if the criminal minister deceives the saint with his conscience and frames the loyal and good, even the ancestors of the criminal minister will not be able to let go of the minister." ”

"Framing Zhongliang?" Su Yu had already said, "Hu Bowen, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Marquis Wuxiang, in order to assist the government, the old prince has tried his best to worry about his advanced age." Hu Bowen said loudly: "Someone forced and threatened the criminal to write a confession to frame the old prince, naturally to let the criminal frame Zhongliang. Although the criminal has committed a great crime, he is not willing to make mistakes again and again. ”

The corners of King Huainan's eyes twitched, and he said coldly: "Hu Bowen, the emperor is here, and the hundred officials are also here, you still have to be careful when you speak." ”

"The prince asked Hu Bowen to be brought over, didn't he let him testify in public?" Sima Changshen snorted coldly: "Now that Hu Bowen has revealed the truth to the saint, does the prince not let him speak?" ”

Longtai glanced at Sima Changshen before asking, "Hu Bowen, you said that someone threatened you, so who is it?" ”

Hu Bowen did not hesitate, and raised his hand to the king of Huainan: "Your Majesty, before the criminal minister sent the envoy to Eastern Qi, the king of Huainan instructed the criminal minister to join forces with Liang Xiong to sabotage the task of the envoy in Jinyi. He threatened the guilty minister that if the criminal did not obey, his family would not be protected. The minister was extremely confused, and in order to keep his family safe, he made a big mistake. ”

Originally, the King of Huainan insisted on letting Hu Bowen come forward to testify, everyone thought that after Hu Bowen came out, he would definitely testify that Sima Lan was the one behind the scenes, but no one could have imagined that Hu Bowen pointed out that the King of Huainan was the black hand behind it, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

King Huainan's face was extremely ugly, and he said sharply: "Hu Bowen, you are so bold, you dare to talk about it here." ”

"King Huainan, Hu Bowen's confession framed his father as the person behind the scenes, you don't think he is a truth, and now Hu Bowen is on the precipice and tells the truth to the saint, but you say that he is a truth." Sima Changshen also said sharply: "The prince's means of turning the clouds and rain are really good. ”

"Everyone knows that your Sima family wants to let Sima Yunqiong enter the palace, and the emperor sent Jinyi to envoy Dongqi for the benefit of my Dachu to marry Princess Tianxiang, and also to make Princess Tianxiang the queen." Although King Huainan's face was ugly, he was still calm at the moment, and said coldly: "Princess Tianxiang came to my Chu country, your Sima family's wishful thinking of controlling the harem will be shattered, you are naturally unwilling, so you have to destroy it, Hu Bowen, what this king said, isn't it exactly what you confessed?" ”

Hu Bowen said: "Lord Wang, because of this, once the mission is really destroyed and cannot complete the mission, many people will naturally think that this is the work of the old Guogong. Do you still remember that before the envoy, you instructed the criminal ministers that once this matter is successful, it will kill two birds with one stone, not only can you point the finger at the Sima family, but also Jinyihou insults the emperor's order, and you can also take the opportunity to suppress Jinyihou. Speaking of this, he glanced at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning was dressed in court clothes, his hands were folded in his sleeves, his face was expressionless, and he didn't say a word.

After Hu Bowen appeared, Sima Lan didn't speak, and only then did he sigh lightly and said: "Lord Wang, the old minister knows that Su Ri does things, and you and I have slightly different political views, but the old minister has always thought that even if the political views are different, it is all for the sake of my great Chu to be prosperous, and there are some things that we can discuss slowly." Shaking his head, "My Sima family has been favored by the emperor for several generations, and it is already an extreme honor. The emperor thinks that the old minister has been loyal to the country for many years, and this duke, this has made the Sima family grateful, how can he think of letting Sima Yunqiong enter the palace as the queen? What's more, because of this, the mission was prevented from going to Eastern Qi, although the old minister was confused, he would not be so unbearable. Why should the prince use this means to trap the old minister in disloyalty! ”

Sima Chang lost no time in saying: "Your Majesty, the King of Huainan has framed him, and his heart is unpredictable, please ask the emperor to investigate!" ”

King Huainan was already pale at this time, but at this time, he stepped forward from among the ministers and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Hu Bowen has committed a capital crime, and now he is talking nonsense here, he deliberately slanders the prince, and he must be carefully investigated." The prince is bright and fair, and he has never worked tirelessly for my Dachu, but now he is going to be framed by traitorous ministers, and the ministers are wronged for the prince. ”

When everyone looked, they saw that the person who suddenly stood up was actually Dou Kui, the head of the household.

Dou Kui is a hardcore friend of King Huainan, and everyone is not surprised to stand up for King Huainan at this time.

Long Tai pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "Hu Bowen, you said that this confession was written by the King of Huainan under duress on you, and that the person who instructed you to destroy the mission was Uncle Huainan Wang, so what evidence do you have?" It's just empty words, how can I believe what you say? ”

Hu Bowen lay on the ground and said: "What the criminal said is true, but there is no other evidence in his hand, and it was Qian Raoshun, the secretary of the criminal department, who forced the criminal to write this confession, and he said to the criminal that if the criminal could not write this confession and sign it, the minister's family would be in danger." ”

Long Tai glanced at Qian Raoshun and said coldly: "Qian Raoshun, is there such a thing?" ”

Qian Raoshun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Bowen..... Hu Bowen's bloody mouth spews people, and the ministers ......! Before he finished speaking, King Huainan had already sneered: "Your Majesty, Hu Bowen is like a mad dog here, biting people indiscriminately, this person is extremely evil, and now he is deceiving the emperor, the crime of bullying the king, even the nine clans, must not be spared." ”

Hu Bowen had already said sharply: "Lord Qian, you are in charge of my Da Chu criminal name, and you can be regarded as impartially judging the case back then, and even praised by the first emperor, shouldn't you tell the truth today, and you want to frame Zhongliang?" Zhenguo Gong is conscientious and conscientious for me, and now someone wants to frame and murder his old man, I, Hu Bowen, don't care about the lives of the whole family, and state the truth to the emperor, do you still want to be obsessed and not realize? ”

King Huainan clenched his hands into fists, his face was even more ugly, Qian Raoshun lay on the ground, looked up at Longtai, and shouted violently: "Long live Qiyu, the ministers deserve death, ask the emperor to punish him!" ”

Qi Ning has been watching coldly, this case was tried in front of everyone, but the development was unexpected, Hu Bowen overturned his confession, and Qi Ning had already noticed that something was wrong, at this time Qian Raoshun suddenly asked the emperor for guilt, and Qi Ning knew that things were even more unpredictable.

"What have you sinned?" Longtai asked in a deep voice.

Qian Raoshun glanced at King Huainan, and saw that King Huainan was also staring at him, and the granite floor of the altar was in his head, "Qi Qi Sheng, Hu Bowen's confession is indeed ..... It was indeed tortured to extract a confession. The king of Huainan secretly summoned his ministers, and ordered the ministers to sign and detain Hu Bowen on this confession, whether it was coercion or inducement, so that he could frame the old prince. The minister did not dare to disobey the orders of the prince, and took advantage of the safety of Hu Bowen's family to force him to sign this confession without conscience...... The ministers bent the law for personal gain, and they were ashamed of the saints, and they begged the saints to punish them! ”

King Huainan's face was already pale at this time, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, but he suddenly rushed forward a few steps, pointed at Qian Raoshun, and shouted: "Qian Raoshun, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Qian Raoshun raised his head, looked at King Huainan, and said with a look of trepidation: "Lord, minister..... The ministers really didn't dare to bully the king, and they were even more unwilling to frame Zhongliang. The head of the minister can be lost, but ..... But there is no conscience. ”

The ministers were already in an uproar at this time.

If what Hu Bowen said, everyone still felt that it was not enough to believe it, then as soon as Qian Raoshun's words came out, everyone felt that all this must have been planned by King Huainan.

As we all know, Qian Raoshun has always been very close to the King of Huainan, the King of Huainan and the Sima family fought in the court, Qian Raoshun has always been the main force around the King of Huainan, and he has won the trust of the King of Huainan.

"It turns out that all this was really planned by King Huainan." Sima Changshen sneered: "Don't you think it's too despicable for the prince to frame my Sima family by such means?" ”

The king of Huainan ignored Sima Changshen, stared at the calm Sima Lan, did not laugh angrily, the laughter spread far away, and the ministers thought that it was okay for the king of Huainan to confess and frame Sima Lan, and now he was still laughing recklessly in front of the emperor, which was really rude and disobedient.

Longtai glanced at King Huainan, and finally said, "Why is Uncle Huainan laughing?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is such a huge rape in the imperial court, it seems that I am really right on the side of the Qing monarch this time." King Huainan put his hands behind his back: "Sima Lan is sanctimonious, but he is insidious and cunning, and he actually secretly bought Qian Rao Shun, which is beyond my expectations." Staring at Sima Lan, he sneered: "Zhen Guogong, good means!" ”

Sima Lan glanced at King Huainan, still in a calm tone: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, the prince wants to trap the old minister for disloyalty today, so he even wants to obstruct the holding of the sacrificial ceremony. Lord Qian and Hu Bowen have a clear conscience and reveal the truth to the emperor, if the prince immediately asks the emperor for guilt, we will intercede for the prince. ”

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people." Sima Changshen sneered: "Obstructing the sacrificial ceremony, framing Zhongliang, and intending to sabotage the mission to seek relatives, these several major crimes, each of which is appalling, and now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are here as evidence, if it is not over, where is the law of the imperial court?" ”
