Chapter 542: This Is a Heavy Punishment?

Emperor: "......"

Ministers: "......"

King Cheng's son, Huangfu Jingchen, was assassinated, his body was burned beyond recognition, and the whole scene was unbearable, and it is no secret in the court now.

When King Cheng came in to see the emperor, the first thing he said was to ask his son, and he did come to the capital for his son's death.

This deep sorrow from the father who lost his son was so strong that even the air was contaminated, as if a cool breeze had passed and blew on everyone's hearts, making all the ministers present feel a sense of kinship.

They empathized with King Cheng's sadness and despair, but it was King Cheng's aura that was too strong and the sadness was too strong that they developed empathy.

Which one wouldn't be a father? Who has not been a son of man?

Even the emperor froze for a moment before he said slowly: "Jing Chen suffered misfortune, when Jing Zhaoyin rushed over, he saw corpses all over the ground, half of them were burned beyond recognition, Jing Chen should ...... It's in the middle of it! ”

The emperor did not come to the scene in person, but in this scene, Jing Zhaoyin, Gyeonggi Wei and others who rushed to the scene, and even the people who saw the scene, almost everyone had a detailed confession.

The emperor has seen it, and he has not only seen one.

If you see it a lot, you will naturally have a picture in your mind.

It's not that the emperor wants to deliberately describe the situation at that time, but this son is running thousands of miles, just to mourn for his own son, as a father, thinking of the second prince who died early, I don't know whether he was infected by King Cheng's sadness, or softened by his sudden father-son affection.

King Cheng's voice trembled, it was almost sad for the listeners, and the listeners felt the same: "Father, you mean, half of them were burned beyond recognition, including ...... Jing Chen? ”

This question simply hit people's hearts, except for King Zhuang, everyone felt that their heartstrings had been struck, and they had a feeling that they couldn't bear to look directly and couldn't bear to answer.

The emperor sighed lightly and said, "Yes! After speaking, he glared at King Zhuang again, it was all a good thing he did!

King Cheng's eyes were even redder and deeper, with grief and indignation in his sorrow, and despair in his despair, and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the imperial city, he was assassinated on the street!" Father, where is the culprit? ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but move to King Zhuang who was kneeling on one side.

In front of so many important ministers, in front of a sad father who lost his son, and in front of the evidence that Jing Zhaoyin had already verified the truth, as the identity of the emperor's golden mouth, he couldn't cover it up, he said slowly: "The fifth child, this matter is not done by the third child. I've already punished him! ”

King Cheng raised his head suddenly, glanced at King Zhuang, his eyes were deep and cold, like a ghost in the dark night, and then he turned to the emperor: "Father, how is it punished?" ”

The emperor frowned slightly, slightly displeased: "The edict of the abolished prince has been announced to the world, but you don't know?" ”

King Cheng said lightly: "The son received the edict from his father, the Royal Flying Eagle, and allowed him to return to Beijing, so he came day and night, and he did not pass through the city on the way, and did not see any edict. What does the father mean that he has abolished the crown prince of the third emperor brother? ”

The emperor listened to his explanation, thought about it again, his complexion was a little pale, and said: "Your third emperor brother acted tyrannically, murdered his own nephew, and was not worthy of the throne, and the crown prince has been abolished." That's how he's punished! ”

"Heavy punishment?" King Cheng suddenly laughed, this indescribable sadness, indescribable ridicule, and said: "My son Jingchen has a life, and the third child has only lost the position of a prince!" Is this a heavy punishment? ”

His voice was low and full of endless sadness, but every word seemed to hit everyone's hearts, and many people were also stunned.

Before, they felt that King Zhuang lost the position of crown prince, which was a great punishment.

After all, coming down from such a noble position as the prince means that you can only be a courtier forever, and you will never have the opportunity to be a king again.

But now they are thinking, yes, the prince of Cheng Wang has a life, or is he assassinated on the street, and he only took the position of a prince, and then he was grounded, is this a heavy punishment?

The emperor was also stunned for a moment, and then his eyes sharpened: "Isn't it enough to take the crown prince?" Do you want to kill him and die for your son? ”

King Cheng's eyes were full of ridicule, and he said lightly: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen just thinks that as the prince of Southern Xia, he is really still a talisman!" ”

These words made the ministers think more about it.

When King Liang was the crown prince, his mistakes almost shocked half of Southern Xia, and in the end, he also took the crown prince.

Now when King Zhuang is the crown prince, he openly destroys the security of the imperial city and assassinates him in the street, which has a very bad impact, and it is also just a matter of taking the crown prince's position.

The emperor was annoyed and angry, and he was stabbed a little red by this son's words. He shouted, "What are you saying there in a weird way?" Did you come to Beijing to be angry? ”

King Cheng said expressionlessly: "Erchen doesn't dare." Erchen traveled thousands of miles to come to Beijing for two things. One is to know who assassinated my son Jing Chen, and the other is to handle the aftermath for Jing Chen! ”

Ministers: "......"

It's been almost a month, what's going on? Didn't the coffin of King Cheng's son be carried out of the capital and buried a long time ago?

The emperor almost got angry again, this rebel, he hasn't entered Beijing for so long, and there are two things when he comes to Beijing, does he still have his father in his eyes? Add a sentence saying that I haven't seen you for many years, and I want to see if my father will die with this sentence?

He said angrily: "Then why don't you go back to your Chengwang Mansion?" ”

King Cheng kowtowed and said, "Yes!" ”

He scrambled to his feet, and without hesitation was about to walk out.

King Zhuang suddenly cried: "Father, father, you have to be the master of your sons, the fifth child killed my Wei'er!" ”

This sentence startled everyone.

Just now I was talking about King Zhuang killing King Cheng's son, why is it that now, King Zhuang is saying that King Cheng killed his son?

Huang Fuwei is missing, the emperor knows, the emperor's secret guard has also searched in the capital, but no one has been found, and now, King Zhuang suddenly pointed out that King Cheng killed Huang Fuwei.

The emperor frowned and looked at King Cheng: "Old Five, did you really enter Beijing last night?" ”

Half a month ago, the third child shouted that he had seen the fifth husband and wife in the capital, and he sent someone to send him into the palace every time, and every time he said that he had seen the fifth husband and wife, or what the fifth couple had done to him.

Yesterday, I even sent a letter written in blood.

King Cheng raised his head and looked at the emperor, with a calm look in his eyes: "Erchen arrived at the boundary of the capital yesterday, entered the city when the city gate opened this morning, and only went outside the city gate last night!" ”

"Really?" The emperor asked again.

The corners of King Cheng's lips flashed with a hint of contempt, and said: "If the father doesn't believe it, there is no way for the son!" Erchen and his retinue rode three hundred elite horses all the way to the capital, although they did not pass through the city, but they would not be unable to find their whereabouts. Why didn't my father send someone to investigate? ”
