Chapter 58: The Great Prince is deposed

Nan Yuan stood in the palace, no matter how the squire of the military department framed him, he never said a word, but handed over the decision to the emperor. Emperor Tian Yuan looked at Nan Yuan with satisfaction, his eyes softened a little.

Once again, his gaze fell on His Royal Highness the War King. "Your Royal Highness the War King, tell me, what have you found? ”

Everyone knows that this is a lesson from the soldiers who annoyed the emperor. His Royal Highness the King of War trembled in his heart, and said respectfully: "Yes, Wei Chen has found a lot of useful things in the past few days, and they have been sorted out into documents. ”

As soon as Emperor Tianyuan saw the documents in the hands of the War King, his head was a little big, and he said impatiently: "You just tell me what you have found." ”

The war king was hesitant, and he didn't say a word for a long time. It took a while to speak. "Your Majesty...... What the minister found out was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had nothing to do with the matter of food and salary. ”

Several ministers quietly glanced at Nan Yuan, and quickly lowered their heads. Before this, the squire of the military department said earnestly that it was done by His Royal Highness the Prince, but when he came to the war king, it was irrelevant.

But it is true that there is a shortfall in wages. Who could it be?

The War King had been observing the changes in Emperor Tianyuan's face, and seeing that Emperor Tianyuan showed no signs of anger, he was just about to continue to pray, but Emperor Tianyuan suddenly spoke. "Oh, it's not the prince, then where is this shortage? Who is so bold and reckless, embezzling and taking bribes under my nose? ”

The War King was a little embarrassed, looked at the Tianyuan Emperor, and then looked at the Great Prince who stood there without any sense of existence. "The Emperor's ......"

Emperor Tianyuan's eyes were sharp, with an innate majesty. Zhan Zhan could only bite the bullet and say: "Emperor Qi, it was the eldest prince who embezzled six million quintals of food!"

The war king went out and finished these words in one breath, it was winter, and the temperature in this hall dropped by a few degrees. The king of war was wet with sweat, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Emperor Tian Yuan sat on the throne, and his face was indifferent and he couldn't see his anger. The ministers, who were originally curious, also lowered their heads at this time, as low as they wanted.

At this time, above the court, everyone could clearly hear their heartbeats.

The eldest prince has always been indisputable with the world, living in simplicity, and everyone just treats him as a docile cat. But when the truth was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, the image that Nanqing had created before collapsed.

And the eldest prince has never opened his mouth to explain, and everyone is a little unsure of his attitude.

Nanyue was also taken aback, she had also started to investigate this matter, but the result he got was that Nanqing had nothing to do with this matter.

In the silent court, only Nan Yuan looked calm and stayed out of the matter.

Nan Yue even doubted in his mind, could it be that Nan Yuan blamed the eldest prince for this matter in order to clear his name? Thinking of this possibility, Nan Yue hurriedly stood up and said, "Enlighten the emperor, the son feels that this matter is not so simple. The eldest brother has been diligent for more than 20 years, serving the country and the people. But because of the traitor's words, he will condemn the eldest brother, and ask his father to think twice. ”

There are still many people who agree with Nanyue's words, and they see the character of the eldest prince. There were people who wanted to join the command of the eldest prince, but all of them were rejected by the eldest prince.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up and echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the third prince said makes sense, and this matter was originally done by the prince." Maybe the crown prince forcibly buckled this hat on the head of the eldest prince in order to clear his name. ”

Everyone's eyes looked back and forth on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the War King, as if they believed the words of the Ministry of Rites.

Emperor Tianyuan looked at Nanqing, who had been standing there, neither humble nor arrogant, and asked, "Qing'er, don't you have anything to say?"

Nanqing knew that since the king of war dared to testify against himself, he must have full evidence. Besides, the Great Prince's Mansion was "robbed" a few days ago, and Nanqing just arched his hand. "The son believes that his father has his own decision. ”

When Emperor Tianyuan heard this, his heart was a lot more comfortable, and he didn't believe that the eldest prince did it. So he looked at His Royal Highness the War King again. "King of War, you keep saying that the eldest prince embezzled this food, so what about your evidence? Emperor Tian Yuan was slightly excited.

The king of war knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what Weichen said is true. This is all the evidence that the minister has found in the past few days, and it is clearly recorded. There is also an account book, in addition to the six million quintals of food, there is also evidence of corruption and bribery of the eldest prince in the past few years. ”

Emperor Tianyuan trembled slightly, and the commander was the chief eunuch. "Go, go and get the paperwork for me! Go!" The chief eunuch was so frightened that he took the paperwork and presented it in small steps.

Emperor Tian Yuan read the document carefully, never letting go of a word, and every time he turned a page, his face became gloomy. The minister below didn't know whether to believe in His Royal Highness the King of War or the Great Prince. He could only wait quietly for Emperor Tian Yuan to finish reading the documents.

Nan Yuan kept lowering his eyelids, looking indifferent, but in fact he was already sweating nervously. It is still unknown who killed the deer.

Nanyue didn't believe it, could this really be done by the eldest brother?

Time passed quietly, Emperor Tianyuan's fingers caressed every byte, and at the end, Emperor Tianyuan was no longer angry, and was more disappointed, how did this child, who grew up by his side, become like this. He still remembered that Nanqing Tongsheng asked him for candy to eat, and Emperor Tianyuan closed his eyes.

After a while, only to hear the sound of "bang", the documents were scattered, falling everywhere, and Emperor Tianyuan directly took the case, his face was red. "Yes, my eldest son, who has been raised by his side for so many years, has done such a dirty thing. Nanqing, do you have anything else to say?"

The eldest prince still looks like he is not shocked by honor and disgrace. "Erchen has already said that Erchen believes that his father has his own decision. ”

Before Emperor Tianyuan could say anything, Nanyue stood up. "Father, the son still doesn't believe that the eldest brother will do such a thing, could it be some misunderstanding, and ask the father to find out. ”

Nan Yuan pursed his lips, when he was wronged, why didn't he see Nanyue come out and say half a good thing for himself, but now that he is here in Nanqing, he let him say all the good things himself.

"Enough, don't say anything. Nanqing's seal is clearly imprinted here, could it be that there can be a fake?" Emperor Tianyuan was a little dizzy with anger, and his body staggered.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!" the ministers said with concern.

Emperor Tian Yuan sat in his chair and closed his eyes to sort out his thoughts. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear, and he looked at the ministers below. Nanyue was a little unwilling, a good move, how could he let Nan Yuan turn over?
