Chapter 140: Lao Qi married a beautiful girl
Today, above the court, there was a dead air, and it was cold and cold, and the ministers standing in the hall all lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads, and kept silent.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair, his face was gloomy, his hand pinching the fold was bulging, his body trembled slightly, and the turbid eyes showed a piercing light, swept into the main hall, he used great strength to throw the fold in his hand down the hall, and smashed it on the prince's face accurately: "Kneel!"
Xue Hanmu trembled, the corner of his eye was hit by a fold, a scar was scratched, blood slowly flowed down, he knelt down according to his words, and held his head high: "Father, I don't know what wrong I made?"
"You still have the face to ask!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair hard and said angrily, "You rebel, you can do anything to collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China to frame your siblings!"
"Father, I don't know what you mean?"
The emperor laughed angrily: "Okay, very good! Dare not admit it, you are really my good son!"
A group of courtiers in the hall looked at each other, and the emperor was angry when he appeared, they were worried about whether they had provoked the emperor, how could they have expected that it was the prince who had always been diligent and loved the people, and this incident was still a big crime of colluding with courtiers and framing siblings.
On weekdays, the ministers who are close to the prince are all in danger, for fear that one of them will accidentally involve themselves.
Xue Hanmu was slightly shocked in his heart, but his face was silent, he still held his head high, and asked clearly: "Father said that the son colluded with the courtiers and framed his siblings, I wonder if the father can tell the son who the son colluded with and which royal brother he framed?"
"That's a good question!" the emperor raised his finger and pointed to the fold on the ground, and said angrily, "Pick it up, take a good look, it can be written in detail, and tell me if there is anything missing after reading it?"
Xue Hanmu lowered his head and bent down to pick up the fold on his side, opened it to see, and when he saw the contents inside, the peace on his face was broken, he had never done these things, why was it described in such detail in the fold, and there was even evidence.
"Father, these things have been done by the ministers, and they even talk about colluding with Cheng Xiaohe to frame the Seventh Emperor's brother. He explained.
"Haven't you ever done it?" the emperor sneered, "If you haven't done it, why is it so detailed on the fold?"
Xue Hanmu panicked: "Father, my son doesn't know." ”
"You still refuse to admit your guilt?" The emperor was angry in his heart, originally he thought that he was his son, and he was the prince, diligent and loving the people, conscientious, if he confessed, he would be punished lightly, but when the matter came, he still didn't admit it, "Okay, you don't admit it!
Gonggong Cui glanced at the little eunuch beside him, and brought the case file that had been prepared to Xue Hanmu to Xue Hanmu.
"You take a good look, and after reading it, let's talk about whether you recognize it or not!"
Xue Hanmu picked up the case file submitted by the little eunuch with trembling hands, opened it and looked at it, reading it line by line, his heart was completely cold, it was written too clearly, too detailed, and he couldn't pick out a single mistake.
If he didn't know who he was, even he would have to believe it.
The emperor looked at his suddenly changing face coldly, and asked in a cold voice, "Can you recognize it now?"
Xue Hanmu came back to his senses, raised his head and looked at the emperor, sonorous and powerful: "Father, the son doesn't recognize it, and the son has never done it." ”
The courtiers had not seen the book, nor had they seen the contents of the case file, and they were all panicked.
Tao Cheng saw that the emperor and the prince were pressing step by step, not giving an inch, if he persisted, the whole court would be panicked, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been upright, since he insisted on never doing it, I am afraid that there is a misunderstanding in this matter." ”
The emperor was furious: "The prime minister means that I am old, and my heart is blind, and I can't even tell the truth from the false!"
Prime Minister Tao Cheng bent down slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean that." Weichen just wanted to ask the emperor who made this fold, and who sent these case files?"
"Presumptuous!" the emperor slapped the dragon chair violently and pointed at Prime Minister Tao Cheng, "It's going to be a rebellion!"
Prime Minister Tao knelt down, a group of courtiers knelt down, the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince knelt down, and said in unison: "Weichen doesn't dare!"
"I see how dare you are!" The emperor was furious, stood up from the dragon chair, trembling all over, Gonggong Cui hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor, and comforted softly, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you will hurt your body, everything will come slowly, you can't be in a hurry." ”
The emperor looked at a group of courtiers kneeling in the main hall: "According to the imperial decree, the prince is suspected of colluding with courtiers and framing his siblings, and he will be confined to the East Palace from today." ”
After speaking, Gonggong Cui helped him out of the main hall.
After the emperor left, the ministers of the court and the central government glanced at Xue Hanmu, shook their heads, turned around and left the palace, the sky in the court was about to change!
Prime Minister Tao walked up to the prince and helped Xue Hanmu up: "Your Royal Highness the prince, if you really haven't done those things, you should find someone to find out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible and wash away your grievances for yourself." ”
Xue Hanmu was helped up by Prime Minister Tao: "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite. Prime Minister Tao Cheng smiled slightly, "You are the prince, you are related to the people of the world, and Weichen is just doing a little bit for the people of the world." ”
After speaking, Prime Minister Tao turned around and left the hall.
The fifth prince Xue Li and the thirteenth prince Xue Zenglin walked in front of Xue Hanmu, and both of them comforted them.
"Thirteen, who do you think will do this?" Xue Hanmu looked at Xue Zenglin and asked.
Xue Zenglin smiled indifferently: "Isn't the crown prince and the imperial brother embarrassed by the ministers? The ministers of the court and the central government all know that the two princes who are the most discouraged by the emperor are me and the seventh emperor brother, and now I ask the younger brother about this, is it really not here to make fun of the younger brother?"
Xue Hanmu glanced at him deeply and waved his hand: "Thirteen is too worried, this palace is just framed, and it was just a mess for a while." ”
Xue Li said: "Since the crown prince and brother have not done it, and you are sitting up straight, my father will definitely not wronged you." ”
Xue Hanmu's eyes were deep, and he sneered: "How can I sit up straight, but if someone with a heart wants to frame this palace, this palace is afraid that it will also be planted in the hands of this person." ”
Xue Zenglin listened to the words of the two of them, and said loudly: "The crown prince and the fifth emperor brother will talk slowly, and the thirteenth will leave first." ”
Xue Li looked at Xue Zenglin's back, and also said goodbye to Xue Hanmu, and followed Xue Zenglin: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Where did the Fifth Emperor Brother see that I was in a hurry?" Xue Zenglin laughed.
Xue Li didn't care either, and smiled: "Doesn't Thirteen want to know who privately presented those folds and case files to his father today?"
"I don't want to. Xue Zenglin smiled slightly, "The younger brother has no intention of going to politics, let alone that position, he just wants to spend the rest of his life in vain." ”
Xue Li laughed: "Thirteen is a person with great wisdom. ”
"The Five Emperor Brothers are wrong, the one who really has great wisdom is the Seventh Emperor Brother, who married a beautiful lady and lived a lively life. ”
