Chapter 65: Rebellion

Everyone's eyes looked at King Ning in unison.

I don't know when, King Ning has an extra wooden box in his hand, and the wooden box looks like it has been around for some years.

"The emperor's edict is here." King Ning said in a loud voice.

Everyone looked at the wooden box in King Ning's hand in disbelief.

Gonggong Wen walked up to King Ning, his eyes widened in disbelief; "The emperor's edict is not ...... It's not ...... by the current emperor."

"This is what I secretly swapped before the emperor burned it." Before Gonggong Wen finished speaking, King Ning said.

Xia Pengyu looked at the wooden box; "Who can be sure that what is in this wooden box is the edict of the first emperor, in case someone forged it."

King Ning had long expected Xia Pengyu to say this, and he took out the edict of the first emperor from the wooden box.

"Several old ministers in the court know the handwriting of the first emperor, whether it is true or not, let these old ministers see it."

Gonggong Wen took the edict to several old ministers.

After those old ministers saw it, they all wrinkled their eyebrows, and their faces were pale.

One of them, who looked to be in his sixties, walked a little tremblingly: "This ...... This handwriting is indeed the handwriting of the first emperor, and this edict is true, this is the edict of the first emperor. ”

The old minister's hands trembled a little.

After hearing this, everyone had different moods.

Xia Pengyu naturally didn't believe that this edict was true.

This edict must be fake, forged by King Ning.

"The handwriting can be faked, whether this edict is true or not, only King Ning knows it."

"I didn't want to take out this edict, the eldest prince, you actually framed me for rebellion, if I really had the intention of rebellion, I would have taken out this edict more than ten years ago."

Ever since he knew that the four princes of Northern Chu were also involved, he had thought of a way to deal with it.

"The eldest prince, you actually framed this king for rebellion, but this king thinks that you have the heart of rebellion."

King Ning's calamity leads to the east.

"Joke, how could I be treacherous."

King Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"The eldest prince, you colluded with the four princes of Northern Chu, don't think that this king doesn't know."

Xia Pengyu didn't expect that King Ning would bite him back.

"Uncle Huang, you said that I colluded with the four princes of Northern Chu, is there any evidence?"

"Nature."

King Ning took out a few letters: "This is the evidence. ”

Gonggong Wen took the letter in King Ning's hand and read it, and the shrill voice of Gonggong Wen echoed in the hall.

Everyone's faces changed.

Everyone's eyes looked at Xia Pengyu who was standing in the main hall.

Xia Pengyu's face was pale, those letters were forged by King Ning, and the content of the letters was that he united with the four princes of Northern Chu and asked the four princes of Northern Chu to win the throne for him, and when he ascended the throne, the two countries signed an agreement on joint mining of iron ore.

The letter also said that this plan required the elimination of King Ning first.

The way to get rid of King Ning is to charge King Ning with rebellion.

Xia Pengyu said angrily; "You forged these letters."

"The seal on this letter is your seal of the Great Prince, and this handwriting is also your handwriting of the Great Prince,"

Xia Pengyu didn't know how to explain it for a while.

The corners of King Ning's mouth hooked, and he sneered in his heart, look at what else you have to say now.

King Ning continued; "In addition to these, this king also has witnesses."

When Xia Pengyu saw the people who walked into the main hall, his face instantly turned pale and bloodless.

Confusion, shock, disbelief, even anger all turned into nothingness. His gaze was a little frighteningly faint.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiaochan, who walked in with her head down.

I don't know if it's weakness or fear, Xiaochan can feel the inquiring eyes around her, especially Xia Pengyu in front. He was looking at her.

King Ning walked slowly in front of Xiaochan with a serious tone; "Tell me everything you know."

Xiaochan raised her eyes to look at Xia Pengyu, and at the moment when the two met their eyes, Xiaochan retracted her gaze in a panic.

Xiaochan took a small step forward, her legs trembling, and she saluted him respectfully.

Xia Pengyu glanced coldly at Xiao Chan, who was kneeling on the ground.

King Ning spoke again; "Xiaochan, tell me everything you know."

Xiaochan took a deep breath, with a little hoarseness in her voice: "The poison in the eldest prince is taken by the eldest prince himself, since the eldest prince was poisoned, the eldest prince was arranged to live in the side hall of Chonghua Palace, one day, Imperial Physician Li came to diagnose the pulse of the eldest prince, as soon as he entered the room, he was knocked unconscious by the little eunuch who led Imperial Physician Li in. ”

"I was still discovered by the little eunuch, I was very scared at the time, what I didn't expect was that the little eunuch said that she could help the eldest prince detoxify, and the eldest prince was unconscious at that time, and the slave didn't think so much, so he asked the little eunuch to detoxify the eldest prince."

"The little eunuch did detoxify the poison on the eldest prince's body, and at this time the slave maid knew that it was the eldest prince who ate the poison himself, and the little eunuch who detoxified the eldest prince turned out to be the Nine Emperor Concubines of Northern Chu, and then the eldest prince asked the slave and maid to go to the door to guard, as for what the eldest prince and the Nine Emperor Princesses of Northern Chu said, the slave and maid did not hear it."

King Ning sneered: "What can you say is naturally how to obtain the throne." ”

Xia Pengyu's heart was like being knocked on a stick, it hurt badly, but there was nowhere to follow.

The hall is quiet, Xiaochan is the palace maid who serves the eldest prince closely, since the eldest prince was six or seven years old, he was sent by the queen mother to take care of the eldest prince's diet and daily life.

What she said was indeed somewhat convincing.

King Ning looked at Xia Pengyu, who was pale: "Big prince, what Xiaochan said is true?" ”

What Xiaochan said is not entirely false, it's just that the person who wants to rebel is King Ning, how could Xiaochan not know.

Xia Pengyu sneered: "If you say something like this, King Ning, you also believe it?" ”

"This person's evidence and material evidence are all there, does the eldest prince still have to deny it."

Xia Pengyu ignored King Ning, walked straight to Xiaochan, and looked directly at her. "I'm just asking you, why did you do that?"

Xiaochan raised her head and met his gaze.

"The slave just doesn't want Your Highness to make mistakes again and again, Your Highness stop it! The slave believes that the emperor will forgive His Highness. ”

Xiaochan's eyes were very sincere, and she didn't look like she was lying at all.

Xia Pengyu was in a trance, as if what Xiaochan said was true.

Xia Pengyu didn't know what to say for a while.

This feeling of being betrayed by the people around him is simply indescribable.

Xia Pengyu looked at Xiaochan's gaze, cold and without a trace of temperature.

"The human and material evidence are all there, and you can't deny it, the prince." King Ning shouted; "Someone!"

Before the words were spoken, several guards entered the main hall.

"Press the eldest prince into the prison and wait for the emperor to dispose of it."

Several guards were about to step forward.

Xia Pengyu said angrily; "I see who dares, I am the prince of Xia Liang Kingdom, if I really commit this crime of rebellion, it is also my father who ordered me to be put in prison, and it is not your turn to give orders here, King Ning."

"The emperor is seriously ill, and the government is handed over to the king with full power, who said that the king has no right to put a rebellious prince in prison."

King Ning looked at the guards who didn't dare to step forward.

Said sharply: "Don't take him down soon,"

Several guards glanced at each other, and they were about to step forward, when suddenly a woman's voice came from outside the hall.

"Wait!"

All eyes looked at the entrance of the main hall.

I saw Xia Yunxi supporting the emperor and slowly walking into the main hall.

King Ning's face turned pale in an instant.

He didn't count it even if he didn't calculate it, and the emperor would appear.

He should be lying in a hospital bed now, how could he be here?

Emperor Xia Liang's illness was not really sick, but poison.

It is a very rare poison, and the person who poisons it does not die, but appears to be physically weak, as if he has some kind of disease.

There is no antidote to this poison at all, and the poison is all prepared by him, decocted the medicine, and watched the emperor drink it with his own eyes.

Emperor Xia Liang walked to the dragon chair and sat down with Xia Yunxi's support, his cloudy eyes looking at King Ning.

Although King Ning's face was a little pale, he was very calm on the surface.

Everyone bowed to the emperor.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Xia Liang raised his hand slightly, signaling a major mistake to get up.

Emperor Xia Liang looked at Xia Pengyu and then at King Ning, and he said in a calm voice; "What happened?"

The emperor has appeared, and everyone is only watching the show.

King Ning didn't speak, and Xia Pengyu stepped forward; "Back to his father, King Ning said that his sons united with the four princes of Northern Chu and wanted to rebel and replace his father."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Liang didn't react, he just let out an "oh".

"Is there any evidence?"

Emperor Xia Liang asked slowly.

Xia Pengyu pointed to Wen Gong's justice; "Gonggong Wen has in his hands the letters of his sons and the four princes of Northern Chu, who exchange letters with each other."

Emperor Xia Liang looked at Gonggong Wen; "Bring me the letter."

Gonggong Wen's hand holding the letters shook.

Emperor Xia Liang's eyes narrowed slightly; "What's wrong? Father-in-law Wen took the letter to me. ”

Gonggong Wen has been by Emperor Xialiang's side for decades, and he knows very well what the emperor's personality is.

The emperor now looks very calm on the surface, which is the emperor's performance before he gets angry.

Gonggong Wen walked to Emperor Xia Liang with those letters in both hands.

Xia Yunxi glanced at Gonggong Wen coldly, and took the letter in Gonggong Wen's hand to Emperor Xia Liang.

Xia Yunxi Road; "Grandpa Wen originally had two faces."

Father-in-law Wen's body stiffened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Emperor Xia Liang carefully read those letters, and his eyes fell on Xia Pengyu; "Are these letters true?"

Xia Pengyu shook his head; "The father of the son knows best, how could the son do such a thing."

Emperor Xia Liang let out a "hmm".

Emperor Xia Liang's eyes were slightly cold; "Brother Huang, what do you have to say to me?"

King Ning had already calmed down, and he looked at Emperor Xia Liang with a very calm gaze.

"Brother Huang, don't lie here, don't you know if these letters are true or false? Don't you know why I'm doing this? ”

Now that we've come this far, we can only break the boat.
