Chapter 1067: Thirty Great Boards
Emperor Hongyuan was already so angry with King Jin that his heart ached.
He glared at him hatefully, and said angrily, "What if you don't know? No matter how much you don't know, it's also your subordinates who did it, and now although the evidence is insufficient, you can avoid the death penalty, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Su Aiqing, as far as you can see, what should this King of Jin do? ”
As soon as he heard Emperor Hongyuan's words, Su Ming understood that Emperor Hongyuan didn't want to kill King Jin.
After all, King Jin is his own son, and keeping him can also balance Chu Xuanchen.
He glanced at Chu Xuanchen shrewdly, and then said: "Your Majesty, if the evidence is insufficient, you can't cure the crime of King Jin, and you can't just say that his subordinates have committed crimes." Think about it, if you have to be implicated because of the crimes committed by your subordinates, wouldn't everyone be in danger? If Lao Chen arrests Captain Mo and says that he has committed the crime of rebellion, and then wants to punish King Li's crime, I'm afraid King Li won't be able to argue, right? Therefore, based on Li Ao's guilt alone, it cannot be concluded that King Jin is guilty, unless King Li has evidence of King Jin's rebellion, if not, then King Jin is innocent. ”
Chu Xuanchen lightly hooked his lips, "The crime of stealing the defense map can be investigated again, but the crime of King Jin falsely accusing this king should be punished, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, King Li has worked hard and hard to catch this secret agent, and he has no merit and hard work, how can he allow King Jin to slander casually? The emperor, according to the minister's opinion, should punish the king of Jin for the crime of false accusation, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal ministers. Zhang Fuyin hurriedly said.
Seeing that this Zhang Fuyin always spoke for Chu Xuanchen, Emperor Hongyuan, King Jin, and Su Ming all stared at him coldly.
Emperor Hongyuan had already begun to suspect him, and he glanced at Zhang Fuyin gloomily.
It seems that this person has defected to Chu Xuanchen, and he must find a way to get rid of it.
"All Aiqing is reasonable, because there is insufficient evidence for the King of Jin to instruct Li Ao to steal the marching defense map, I will not pursue his crime for the time being, but he falsely accused King Li and should be punished. Come on, drag the King of Jin down and beat the thirty boards to show punishment! Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.
"Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen arched his hand coldly.
"Father, why are you beating me again? The father and the emperor spared his life, and the son was really framed by Chu Xuanchen......" Before King Jin finished speaking, the person was dragged down by the imperial guards.
At this time, Zhang Fuyin arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what should you do with this Li Ao?" ”
"Li Ao, who instructed you to steal the defense map, and you didn't recruit it from the truth?" Emperor Hongyuan glared at Li Ao coldly, there were all human and material evidence, he didn't believe that this Li Ao was innocent.
Indeed, as Chu Xuanchen said, no one used a knife to force him to sneak into the barracks, and it seems that he must have been bought by enemy forces.
"The emperor is angry, the small one is wronged, the small one is not stealing the defense map at all, the small one is just to check the evidence of Chu Xuanchen's collusion with the enemy country, but he was accidentally caught by them, the emperor, you must believe the small one." Li Ao hurriedly shouted for himself.
What he said was true, but no one present believed him.
"Your Majesty, he is still stirring up the relationship between you and your ministers, so don't fall for the treacherous tricks of the enemy country. For the time being, the minister could not guess who instructed him, but asked the emperor to hand him over to the minister for trial, and the minister believed that a result would be determined. Chu Xuanchen said.
"No need, I will send Lord Geng to try it, Liwang is busy with military affairs, so it's better not to meddle in this matter." Emperor Hongyuan waved his hand.
Chu Xuanchen shook his head lightly.
