Chapter Forty-Eight: The Old Man and the Old Case
King Shun knelt on the ground, and did not move for a long time, and the emperor's tired eyes rolled, and he simply got up, intending to leave him here to take care of himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Father, the son asks his father for one thing." When King Shun saw that he wanted to leave, he hurriedly called.
Although he was disappointed in him today, since he opened his mouth and thought that he had something to ask for, he couldn't help but ask, "What?" ”
"The sons have the courage to ask their father to spare one of them from the death penalty." King Shun slowly kowtowed to the ground as he said this.
"Who?" The emperor didn't react for a while, but when he said this word, his eyes fell on Uncle Luo, who was kneeling beside him, and when he reacted, his originally tired face was shrouded in endless gloom, and the glance that floated over fell back to King Shun, and he laughed angrily: "Excuse yourself, heh, excuse yourself, I will let you be exempt!" ”
The emotions he tried to control were still like bursting the embankment, and he was no longer able to stop the fierce waves, and angrily threw several fruit plates on the table to the ground. With a "clang" sound, the sound of the emperor pulling out his knife from the side of the guard was cold and clear.
King Shun hurriedly turned sideways in front of Uncle Luo and called in a low voice, "Father." ”
The tone was almost pleading, but it still couldn't change the emperor's mood at the moment, he looked at King Shun's face with gloomy eyes, and slowly spit out a few words: "You open it for me." ”
I could hear that he was trying to control his tone, but he still spoke with infinite anger, as if he couldn't suppress it, and rolled straight out of his chest.
King Shun didn't know what to say at this time, but he still stubbornly stood in front of him, and did not escape the emperor's gaze, and paused for a while before insisting: "Father, this person knows many unknown things, or one day he can reveal the truth, and King Qin is innocent, please ask my father to find out." ”
Hearing his words, his chest rose and fell even more violently, the emperor breathed heavily, a trace of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in his eyes, he took two steps forward very quickly, pushed King Shun aside, and the sword in his hand stabbed into Uncle Luo's heart, with precise position and skillful technique.
The emperor drew his sword and threw it to the ground angrily, and smashed it into King Shun's heart with a "dang" sound, but it did not stir up any splash, but slowly sank.
The emperor glanced at him with a sword in his eyes, this time with a thick anger and unfathomable disappointment, seeing that he was a little stunned, without any repentance, he snorted and looked away from him, and stepped past him with a somewhat unsteady pace, and slowly walked out of the hall with the support of the inner supervisor.
King Shun was stunned for a long time, the first time he saw his spoiled father and emperor making such a fire in front of him, and it was also the first time he saw him kill in front of him, and the person who fell next to him suddenly snorted and pulled his thoughts back to reality.
Seeing that he was trying to open his mouth, as if he was about to say something, King Shun hurriedly leaned his head over, and he said a little vaguely: "Hope... Hope... Lake, Temple... Your Highness... I'm right... Can't... You. ”
When he looked at him sideways, his eyes widened with anger as if he had lost his breath, and his hand slowly passed over his eyes, and then he got up and walked out of the temple with trepidation. Unexpectedly, King Qing, who had already retreated, had not gone far, and when he saw King Shun's stunned look, he hurriedly smiled and came up, "Brother Huang, today's matter is really sorry, my father ordered me to lead troops to suppress it, and I have no choice." ”
Looking at his smiling face, the corners of King Shun's mouth twitched slightly, he couldn't hold back for a while, and waved his hand is a punch, where is King Qing's opponent, he endured it immediately, and saw that he was far away but couldn't help but say angrily: "If the imperial brother can get angry with a punch from me, then Ziqing has nothing to say." ”
The last four words seemed to poke King Shun's heart, the source of these things was not provoked by King Qing, King Shun turned around abruptly and walked towards him slowly, King Qing was frightened back by his gaze like an ice ling, and couldn't help retreating, and said again and again: "Brother Huang, you are calm." ”
Although being beaten by King Shun will only make King Shun be severely reprimanded by the emperor again, who would want to be beaten again? What's more, he is still King Qing, and he is afraid that he will lose face and lose his face when he goes out with a wound on his face.
King Shun still couldn't hold back after all, and beat King Qing violently in front of many internal eunuchs and palace maids, and the forbidden soldiers didn't dare to step forward to stop it when they saw it, and finally invited Wang Qin, the deputy commander, and Pei Chendong, the leader, to pull the two apart.
It was not so much to persuade the two to pull apart, but to pull King Shun, who kept swinging his fists, apart, and the matter finally went to the emperor. The emperor did not comment much after hearing this, but he was really unwilling to summon the two sons, and he was really troubled, so he had to leave the matter behind.
Qing Wangbai was beaten, and finally he was carried out of the palace, and he fainted with an angry knot.
Chu Shenxia waited in the palace until sunset before waiting for King Shun to come back, and when he saw him with a black face, he naturally knew that things were not good, and followed him into the room without saying a word.
King Shun had his back to him, Chu Shenxia understood what he was doing, he didn't hesitate at the moment, and said bluntly: "Your Highness wants to overturn the case for King Qin, and overturning the case is not this way." ”
King Shun's back stiffened, and he slowly turned around, with a little more surprise in his eyes, "How do you know?" ”
"I guess." Chu Shenxia smiled lightly.
But the suspicion on King Shun's face is getting deeper and deeper, what is he to himself? From the beginning of the advice to the later personal soldiers to the current position of general, it seems that he gave all this by himself, but in fact, he planned it by himself, and it has nothing to do with himself.
What is he to him? Friends still want a lifesaver that they can grab and run on?
Chu Shenxia ignored his expression and said to himself: "It's just that there is one thing, I don't quite understand, the headless case was conclusive back then, and the emperor witnessed it with his own eyes, so King Qin was cut in half." And His Royal Highness didn't know the ins and outs of the matter at all, but with his worship of King Qin and his own inner indignation, he could so unswervingly believe in King Qin's innocence? ”
King Shun paused, paused, and said coldly: "Isn't it enough? Uncle Qin Wang is the person who knows the most etiquette, knows the most honesty, and has the most bottom line in the Kyushu mainland, isn't this enough? ”
"Dare to ask Your Highness, have you ever heard that anyone in the Kyushu Continent except Your Highness denied what happened back then?" Chu Shenxia stared at him closely.
King Shun was stunned and was speechless by him, Chu Shenxia continued: "Has Your Highness ever thought about it, in fact, King Qing and the Emperor are not wrong, it is His Highness who is wrong, because His Highness does not believe it, because His Highness insists that those iron-clad evidence are fake. ”
King Shun clenched his teeth tightly, his face turned from black to red, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth, "Uncle Qin Wang wrote seven words in a row..."
"Your Highness, this is a knot in your heart." Chu Shenxia shook his head, his eyes flickered on his face, and continued: "Stubbornly refusing to admit death, I feel that King Qin has written seven injustices in a row, and I feel extremely miserable, and I have a lot of sympathy inexplicably, Your Highness is like a crazy cow, and I can't stop it." ”
King Shun's fist was clenched tightly, obviously his statement was too rude, Chu Shenxia's gaze fell on his fist, and he said, "Does Your Highness want to fight again?" ”
King Shun slowly let go of his fist, as if he didn't want to deal with him, and turned his back to the window and said, "What is the purpose of your coming to me today?" It's not like you're here to teach me, since you don't believe that Uncle Qin Wang is wronged, what is there to say between us? ”
"I believe that King Qin was wronged, and I want to help His Highness overturn the case." Chu Shenxia's tone was serious and determined.
King Shun was first startled, then stunned for a moment, and then slowly shook his head and said, "There's no reason, you have no reason to help me." ”
Chu Shenxia naturally understood what he meant, but still pretended to be stupid and said, "Why does Your Highness think so?" ”
"You don't believe that Chu Shenyu will kill people, just as I don't believe that Uncle Qin Wang will have an affair with the queen, but if you really have the ability to help me, why don't you overturn the case for Chu Shenyu first? It should be a breeze for you. I am the biggest witness in Chu Shenyu's case, what reason do you have to help me? King Shun's gaze fell far away from the window, and the wind poured in through the window, diluting his voice a little.
Chu Shenxia slowly walked to his side, glanced at the corner of King Shun's eyes, and only felt that his eyes were deep, but clear, which was really rare.
"I helped His Highness overturn the case, one is to complain about King Qin's unjust death, and the other is to let His Highness know that what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true, and there are times when the ironclad evidence is wrong."
"You're just trying to convince me to change the testimony of the case?" After listening to him, King Shun finally understood his intentions, if he didn't let go, no matter how capable he was, what could he do about this case?
A trace of disdain flashed in Chu Shenxia's eyes very quickly, and then he smiled and said, "Your Highness is wrong. ”
King Shun couldn't help but look at him with some surprise, and he continued: "Shen Yu is not a murderer, I just need to find the murderer and pull him from the dark corner to the sun, what does it matter about His Highness's testimony?" ”
"Then why don't you pull?"
"The time has not yet come."
King Shun laughed contemptuously and teased him: "Your time has not come, has my time come?" ”
"Yes." Chu Shenxia replied seriously.
King Shun was speechless for a while, he was just teasing him, he actually replied so seriously, and after thinking for a while, he came up with a question that could embarrass him, "Then do you know who is the person who harmed Uncle Qinwang?" ”
Chu Shenxia seemed to have been waiting for his question, straightened his back, looked at King Shun with burning eyes, and slowly spit out two words: "Liu Yu." ”
"What?!" King Shun's two eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, he looked at him incredulously, looked at Chu Shenxia with a foolish look, and said excitedly: "Do you know that the eldest brother was involved in this case to abolish the crown prince's position?" ”
"Of course I do." Chu Shenxia said indifferently.
King Shun was puzzled: "Then how can you still say that it is him?" ”
"Why not?" Chu Shenxia sneered, glanced at King Shun, who was stunned, and said with some amusement: "Your Highness can't take everything for granted, can't a thief shout to catch a thief?" ”
"Do you have proof?" King Shun asked incredulously.
Chu Shenxia glanced at him deeply, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and it was his turn to look at King Shun like a fool, "King Shun asked me for evidence, but there is not much evidence in the Sixing Temple?" It's all evidence of King Qin's great sin, and what is there there, what's the matter with me? ”
King Shun had a white face, he regretted it a little when he said it just now, and then coughed in a low voice: "Uncle Luo told me a place before he died, Wangxin Lake, do you know where this is?" ”
"I haven't heard of it, but since he said it, let's check it out." Chu Shenxia shook his head.
"You really should check it out, since you said you want to help me, then I bother you to check it."
"Okay." Chu Shenxia responded casually, and then raised his head sharply and said, "I'll check?" Why should I check? I'm also a general, I'm very busy, and I'm not here to run errands for His Highness..."
