Chapter 167: Guilty Above the Court (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Only the special shepherds and shepherds under the emperor's rule have the right to keep war horses in captivity, and raising war horses in captivity without permission undoubtedly has the intention of seizing power and seeking rebellion, which is the most intolerable thing for the emperor.
"This is a joint complaint from the people whose land has been forcibly occupied, the prince raised war horses in captivity in Shilipo, and also connived at his subordinates to bully men and women in the local area, and did all kinds of evil."
This joint complaint of the common people of Shilipo was sent to Ye Shenglin of the Shunan Palace by Fukang according to Mu Yunyin's meaning when she was robbed by Xiao Qiyi to the East Palace.
On that day, the two sisters of Baolian Baozhu came to Xiaosheng Dongtian again and brought a group of people whose land was forcibly occupied, but when Fukang sent someone to Mufu to pick up Mu Yunyin, Mu Yunyin was not at home.
According to Mu Yunyin's explanation in advance, Fukang sent the title deeds of those people's land, as well as the joint complaint, to the prince of Shunan Wangfu as soon as possible.
Therefore, there was an early court on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the imperial history Zhongcheng and the military department Shangshu joined forces to advise Xiao Qiyi.
Ye Shenglin listened to Baili Feiyan's reminder, and handed over the two letters of the prince's collaboration with the enemy to Mu Songyang, after all, as the middle prince of the imperial history, it is his duty to give evidence for impeachment, and Mu Songyang's eloquence is unmatched.
Ye Shenglin also cited the special relationship between Xiao Qiyi and Zhang Chonggui, the current assassin of southern Xinjiang, based on another evidence provided by Baili Feiyan.
The emperor asked his henchman Zhang Chonggui to take over Ye Shenglin's military power in Bashu, and Zhang Chonggui, whose real identity is actually the prince's henchman.
The ministers in the court, hearing this, suddenly realized, no wonder that at the beginning, the prince strongly recommended Zhang Chonggui to serve as the assassin of southern Xinjiang.
When the emperor heard this, a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell onto the dragon chair.
Liu Shangzhong, who was standing behind him with his hands bowed, exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
A group of ministers rushed up and helped the emperor down.
Mu Songyang, Ye Shenglin, as well as Shangshu Ling Yao Gongwei, Zhongshu Ling Xie Wei, Wu Bishan, and Shangshu Yao An, several people guarded outside the Qingyuan Palace.
Xiao Qiyi was then escorted by Yulin Wei to the Yuhua Hall of the Cold Palace and imprisoned, and things seemed to develop along the lines that Ye Shenglin and Mu Songyang had envisioned.
However, Ye Shenglin's heart was faintly uneasy.
Why didn't Xiao Qiyi, who had committed such a heinous crime, be imprisoned in the underground prison of the Imperial City? But guarded in the cold palace?
A few important ministers who were guarding outside were blocked by Liu Shangzhong.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to see you for the time being, please go back first."
Of the six people who stood outside the temple, none of them returned.
The imperial doctors went in and out, and the inner servant Huangmen also came and went, but he didn't see the emperor summoning the important ministers waiting outside.
The imperial doctors who asked out, some shook their heads, some sighed, and then hurriedly went out to dispense medicine.
Until the afternoon, the emperor still had no intention of summoning a few people.
Mu Songyang looked at the entrance and exit and the inner servant and the little yellow door, and said to a few people:
"The inner servants and the little yellow door can enter and exit the Qingyuan Palace, I and other important ministers of the imperial court, how can we stand quietly outside and wait when we encounter such a major event related to the safety of the country?"
Mu Songyang said, and took the lead towards the Qingyuan Palace.
Several of them were the humerus ministers of the Liang State, and without the emperor's will, the ministers and guards did not dare to stop them.
Only the minister Liu Shangzhong wanted to come forward to stop it, but after seeing the faces of several important ministers, he no longer dared to squeak.
To the surprise of several people, the emperor suddenly slurred his speech and was in a trance.
Several important ministers asked for a long time on the side, but they only saw the emperor's two eyes turning around.
Seeing this situation, Yao Gongwei hurriedly called several important ministers out to discuss the matter behind the emperor.
Mu Songyang knew that Yao Gongwei was worried that the emperor would die suddenly and there would be no successor to the throne, which would be very fatal to a country.
The country can't be without a monarch for a day, but Daliang now only has Xiao Qiyi as the heir.
Mu Songyang did not leave, he came to the emperor again.
The emperor looked at Mu Songyang, and his eyes showed a look of fear.
"Mu Zhongcheng, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, the imperial doctor said that he needs to recuperate, Mu Zhongcheng, please go back."
Liu Shangzhong came over and said to Mu Songyang, Mu Songyang glanced at Liu Shangzhong and said coldly:
"Liu Shangzhong, I have something important to tell Your Majesty, and you should avoid it."
Liu Shangzhong was stunned for a moment, and was about to open it, when he saw the majesty of Mu Songyang's face, he had to close his mouth and walk out the door.
Mu Songyang watched Liu Shangzhong retreat outside, and after several yellow gates followed, Mu Songyang approached the emperor.
"Xiao Xi, you have calculated a lot, but you didn't count the prince you wholeheartedly supported, just in order to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, you actually colluded with the enemy country and killed your favorite King Wei, and indirectly killed the precious concubine.
Xiao Xi, you can't die now.
The prince is a great crime against the sky, and he is bound to be executed, Xiao Qijin also died in the northwest, and King Wei was also killed by Xiao Qiyi's enemy.
You're dead, and you don't even have an heir to the throne, Xiao Xi, don't you feel pitiful? The country of Daliang is about to fall into the hands of outsiders. ”
"Mu ......... Mu Song......... Jan, you ......... You ........."
The emperor looked at Mu Songyang, his eyes showed anger, but unfortunately the more angry the emperor was, the more speechless he became.
Mu Songyang looked into the emperor's eyes and sneered again.
"Actually, Xiao Xi, the person who killed King Wei and General Weiguo, as well as the 20,000 soldiers in the north, is not the prince, it's you."
Emperor Liang's eyes suddenly showed a panicked look.
"It's because you're afraid that General Weiguo will be highly meritorious, and you're afraid that General Weiguo will have two hearts, so you borrowed the prince's hand to help you pull out the thorn in your eye."
Mu Songyang paused and smiled mockingly.
"It's just that you didn't expect that you killed your favorite King Wei on the battlefield, King Wei is the one you want to be the prince the most, but he was killed by you.
In the end, you have to choose Xiao Qiyi to inherit your unification.
It's only ridiculous that your second lang, Xiao Qijin, has been competing with Xiao Qiyi for the position of the prince, and thinks that he has Wang Dingyi and the queen as backers, and the position of the prince can take turns in feng shui.
He didn't know, just because he had Wang Dingyi, his father-in-law, and the general of Zhenbei who made you suspicious and jealous, he would never be able to become the prince.
And Xiao Qiyi, who was made the crown prince by you, couldn't wait for you to die, so he kept war horses in captivity, colluded with the Southern Xinjiang Assassin History, and plotted to overthrow you. ”
Mu Songyang stared at the emperor's increasingly frightened eyes, his eyes were extremely sharp.
"Xiao Xi, do you know when I was sure that you were the mastermind behind the tragic death of the soldiers of Wangyaling?"
Mu Songyang looked at the emperor with disdain, and said coldly:
"It was when Feng Lianzhang and Ye Shengmao, who were locked up in the underground prison of the Imperial City, died of poison.
Before they were arrested and sent to the underground prison, you were afraid that among the evidence they confessed, Shun Teng would find out your head, so before they were arrested, you gave them chronic poisonous wine, and let them die of strange poisoning in the underground prison. ”
"Xiao Xi, you know what? You killed not only a son of King Wei in Wangyaling, but also a son you have never seen before. ”
Xiao Xi, who had been holding the hand of the dragon chair, raised it tremblingly, and pointed at Mu Songyang tremblingly.
"You......... She......... Don't tell me? I ........."
Mu Songyang looked up and looked outside, his voice becoming muffled.
"If you hadn't killed him on Wangya Ridge, he would be eighteen years old this year."
