As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately looked at Qi Yanzhi, expressionless on the other side, and did not panic at all. The emperor was biased towards Qi Yanzhi in his heart, and when he saw him like this, he felt that Qi Zhiyuan was talking nonsense.

"How could your eldest brother's guards frame you, I remember when he was still in the North." The emperor looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a cold face, "You don't want to plant false accusations in order to get rid of crimes, so as not to offend and add a grade." ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't talk nonsense, the two guards of the eldest brother were following the sister-in-law at the time, they pretended to be women and slandered me in public, and threatened me to go straight to a small alley where no one was around, and then beat me unconscious while I was unprepared, and when I woke up, I lay naked on the side of the road." Qi Zhiyuan looked at Xie Ruqing and asked: "Sister-in-law, you claim to be honest and gentle, and you won't tell lies if you think about it, do you recognize this matter?" ”

Qi Yanzhi didn't know about this, he frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that it might be true, but Qi Daqi Er didn't say it from him.

These two guys dare to hide it from him?

Xie Ruqing's face did not change, this matter was indeed what she warned Qi Da Qi Er not to tell Qi Yanzhi, and Qi Yanzhi once told his subordinates that they should listen to their wife's orders, and the affairs of the family should be based on the requirements of their wife.

So of course Qi Da Qi Er would not tell Qi Yanzhi. originally thought that this matter was in the past, and Qi Zhiyuan would not recognize them at all, but he didn't fool him.

However, Xie Ruqing was not flustered, since she dared to do this, she was not afraid that Qi Zhiyuan would know.

"I admit it." Xie Ruqing's words were shocking, and the emperor was startled, "Yan Zhi's daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, if someone threatens you, you can just tell me." ”

"The emperor is very loving, the prince did not tell a lie, those two people who pretended to be women were sent by me."

Qi Zhiyuan was a little bottomless in his heart, he originally just wanted to divert his attention, it was best to wait for Qi Yanzhi to take the initiative to take the blame on himself, so that he could equally share the favor in the emperor's heart, and it would not hurt Ruqing.

But he never expected Xie Ruqing to admit it without blinking. He instinctively felt like nothing was good.

The emperor said: "Yan's daughter-in-law, how do you ask someone to frame Qi Zhiyuan?" ”

Xie Ruqing said: "I don't hide it from the emperor, the reason why the courtiers do this is for the Qi family. ”

"Qi family?" The emperor remembered that the late Lord Qi had a daughter of the age, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Xie Ruqing told the emperor about Qi Wanru being forced to marry by Qi Zhiyuan: "Your Majesty, at that time, Lord Qi died on the battlefield, and the emperor took good care of the Qi family, so many families wanted to marry the Qi family, and marrying was like entering the door. And the prince of Qiyang paid so much attention and took the initiative to force the marriage, the Qi family committed suicide because of this, and almost died, and the courtiers couldn't bear to trample on this, so they had to make this decision, so that Qi Wan had a reason to refuse the prince of Qiyang. ”

The emperor was taken aback, and it took a while to digest her words, "You said that the Qiyang Mansion forced the marriage of the Qi family girl? ”

"Exactly."

"I didn't!"

Xie Ruqing and Qi Zhiyuan spoke in unison.

Qi Zhiyuan marrying Qi Wanru has this meaning, but it is not forced to marry, he feels that taking the initiative to marry is to promote Qi Wanru, and he doesn't know that she will not think of suicide.

This point can be argued by Qi Zhiyuan, anyway, Qi Wan's suicide is true, Xie Ruqing can exaggerate this matter to his heart's content, and besides, he will not wronged Qi Zhiyuan.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers saw it with their own eyes, if it wasn't for the Qi family who found out that the rescue was timely, Qi Wanru would have been gone a long time ago, Lord Qi was heartily for the country and sacrificed on the front line, if there was a spirit in the sky who knew that his daughter was forced to die again, how chilling it would be!" Xie Ruqing said earnestly and sadly, which made people sound very moved, "As we all know, Qi Zhiyuan's forced marriage is not the first time, her first wife, and he also forcibly married into the door, the prince of Qiyang Wangfu personally asked for marriage, suppressed people with power, and then lured them with profits, most people have no room for resistance, even if they are unhappy, there is no way to refuse." The same is true of his current wife, ordinary girls are taken by him, and it seems that they only have the right to resist if they only accept their fate! And Qi is like a soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, he would rather die than give in, so he chose to save himself, and the courtiers regretted that her good years were buried, so she made this decision! ”

Everyone was stunned by these words, Qi Yanzhi looked at Xie Ruqing, he didn't know why, he felt that these words came from her heart, not just to complain about Qi Wanru, just like ...... Empathy.

The emperor looked at Qi Zhiyuan angrily, and said angrily: "You are so good, you even forcibly marry someone else's girl?" Your father, who is also a loyal man, taught you such a thing? ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't marry by force, I like people to marry, I don't know what my sister-in-law is talking about!" Qi Zhiyuan said urgently.

"You didn't marry someone else's girl and you would kill yourself?" The emperor was so angry that he trembled, "I pride myself on being a peaceful and prosperous world, governing the country with reason, and I never thought that there would be a bully like you at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Your Majesty! I don't know why my sister-in-law said this, I really didn't ......"

"Someone!" The emperor shouted for someone to come in, "Call the King of Qiyang to me!" ”

King Qiyang waited outside for a long time, and was finally able to meet the emperor, he didn't know what was going on inside, but he was very worried in his heart, for such a long time, don't Qi Zhiyuan really make the emperor angry......

"The minister has seen the emperor." King Qiyang knelt on the main hall, first threw himself to the emperor and gave a big gift, he entered the palace on weekdays is exempt, but today he made up his mind to make amends, and the number of rites is naturally sufficient, "The emperor is angry, it is the ministers who are negligent in discipline, so far away from being so ignorant, repeatedly making the emperor angry, and asking the emperor not to give face to the ministers, the discipline will be disciplined." ”

The emperor laughed angrily, "You still know that you haven't disciplined you well, look at what good things you have raised!" ”

King Qiyang was stunned, he was not as blind as Qi Zhiyuan, as soon as he heard the emperor's tone, he knew that the emperor was really angry.

"I ask you, do you know that he has ill intentions towards his sister-in-law?" The emperor asked with a cold face.

King Qiyang's sweat came out as soon as he could, and he knew that Qi Zhiyuan was a rebel——!

"Father, I have always respected my sister-in-law, do you know ......?"

"I didn't let you say it!" The emperor had already guessed the answer when he saw King Qiyang's reaction, with King Qiyang's personality, he would not tell lies, if it was false, he would definitely deny it, and his reaction just now explained everything.

"The emperor forgives his sins!" King Qiyang is a person who understands, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately confessed his guilt and tried to reduce the punishment, "It is the minister who did not discipline his son well, and the minister asked for a knight!" ”

Xie Ruqing was shocked, he didn't expect King Qiyang to be so bold, this move is to retreat, at least half of the emperor's anger can be counteracted, as long as the emperor demotes his title, it will not be good to punish Qi Zhiyuan severely.

Qi Zhiyuan felt that his father was crazy, but as soon as the title was dropped, the Qiyang Mansion would no longer be the same scenery as before, and there were only four opposite-sex kings in the Celestial Empire now, and the Hou Ye couldn't count them on one hand, and if the title was lowered, it would be worthless.

Where can the emperor punish again? Why bother to rush to punish yourself like this, isn't this full of food?

Qi Zhiyuan complained but didn't dare to say anything, in the current atmosphere, he really couldn't say more.

"Your godson has no way to reform himself and be punished." The emperor snorted, although his tone was not as angry as just now, but it was not much better, "From now on, the king of Qiyang will be demoted to the marquis of Qiyang, as for Qi Zhiyuan, his sin is counted separately, you don't teach him well as a father, and you still want to bear the fault for him, which is harmful to him." ”

King Qiyang's expression was stunned, it seemed that the emperor did not intend to spare Qi Zhiyuan lightly, but he was no longer good at begging, so he could only kneel and thank the emperor.

Qi Zhiyuan rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that he had lost a throne in vain.

The emperor looked at Qi Zhiyuan again, "You have been a gentleman since you were a child, and you are tired of bringing your family, can you know what is wrong today?" ”

Qi Zhiyuan knew that it was a fart's fault, he just had to get acquainted, "Zhiyuan was ignorant before, called the emperor, my father was disappointed, and I must reflect deeply after that, and promise never to give the emperor or my father chaos again." Please don't blame me, my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I was reckless today, and I promise not to do it again in the future. ”

"What do you call a mistake?" The emperor was furious again, "You are clearly saying that everyone has wronged you!" ”

"Qi Zhiyuan!" The Marquis of Qiyang angrily reprimanded Qi Zhiyuan, "Don't admit your mistake to the emperor yet!" ”

Qi Zhiyuan looked reluctant, "I didn't ......"

"Your Majesty," Xie Ruqing suddenly said, "The courtiers implore the emperor to severely punish the prince, he didn't mean to be wrong, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not harass the courtiers again in the future. ”

"Why should my sister-in-law rush to kill them all!" Qi Zhiyuan hated, "Do I have a grudge or a grudge against you?" ”

Xie Ruqing didn't look at him at all, she just wanted to remind the emperor to conform to the will of the people, whether the emperor wanted it or not, I am afraid that he would not spare Qi Zhiyuan.

The emperor is not confused, the people of the whole city have come to ask for orders to severely punish Qi Zhiyuan, if he is sentenced lightly, it will cause public anger, for a Qi Zhiyuan, so that the entire royal family will lose the hearts of the people, which is more than worth the loss.

"From now on, abolish Qi Zhiyuan's position as the son of the world, and order him to leave Beijing within ten days and serve in the Qingzhou military camp!" The emperor said solemnly.

Qi Yanghou's heart sank, the emperor's punishment can be said to be very heavy, this is still a decision after he took the initiative to punish himself, if it weren't for this, Qi Zhiyuan's fate would not dare to think.

Any punishment is not just the superficial meaning, especially for a family like the prince of Qiyang, the emperor should be warning the Qiyang palace not to try to fight the team, the emperor is afraid that it has been taboo for a long time to be friendly with the prince.

Qi Yanghou sighed in his heart, what should come is coming, Qi Zhiyuan kept him dissuading, and insisted on associating with the prince, I am afraid that it is doomed to the catastrophe of the Qi family.

However, the emperor still left room for the Qi family, and did not say that Qi Zhiyuan could no longer be established as the son, the emperor knew that the Qi family had few heirs, except for Qi Yanzhi and Qi Zhiyuan, there was only one third son who was a few years old, and it was not possible to say that he would not succeed in the future.

"Your Majesty!" Qi Zhiyuan couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that the emperor actually abolished his son? "What did I do wrong, you want to punish me like this!"

"I don't know my sin yet!" The emperor said angrily: "I don't know if I will send you to the frontier!" ”

Qi Zhiyuan didn't dare to squeak anymore, but he was not convinced, held back his anger, and when he left the hall, he put this anger on Qi Yanzhi's head.

He stepped forward and grabbed Qi Yanzhi's collar and almost pulled him out of the wheelchair.

"Master Hou!"

"Qi Yanzhi!"

"You rebel stop me!"

Everyone sweated for Qi Yanzhi, but Qi Yanzhi looked at Qi Zhiyuan without changing his face, and smiled, "I'm not interested in your position as the son, don't worry, wait until you make meritorious contributions in the barracks, and then come back and continue to be your son." ”

This is an undisguised insult, Qi Zhiyuan's eyes widened angrily, his eyes were like knives, and he only hated to eat Qi Yanzhi's life alive. Of course he couldn't do anything about Qi Yanzhi in the palace, he was in a stalemate for a long time, and finally unwillingly loosened Qi Yanzhi's collar.

"We'll see! Qi Yanzhi! He gritted his teeth and said, and after speaking, he pushed Qi Yanzhi back into the chair.

Qi Yanzhi supported the handle of the wheelchair with both hands, and looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a slight smile, Qi Zhiyuan almost collapsed.

There was a false alarm, Gonggong Li and the Marquis of Qi Yang were almost scared to death, if Qi Yanzhi was injured in some way, the emperor would be furious, and Qi Zhiyuan's fate could be imagined.

Xie Ruqing was originally at the end, but Fang Cai was also frightened, and he didn't care about the etiquette now, so he immediately walked to Qi Yanzhi's side, glaring angrily at Qi Zhiyuan, who was dragged away by Qiyang Hou, "Please also ask my father to take a good look at him, if Yan Zhi has any mistakes, I will definitely not give up!" ”

Qiyang Hou was speechless, he didn't want to see the brothers become what they are now, but he couldn't say a word at the moment, because Qi Zhiyuan's mistakes were unforgivable, and from Qi Yanzhi's point of view, I am afraid that he would not forgive them for the rest of his life.

Qi Zhiyuan treated Xie Ruqing, even just now he didn't turn his anger on her, but at this moment, she didn't hesitate to stand on Qi Yan's side, and embarrassed him in public for him. He has been proud since he was a child, and he has never been insulted like this, so he pointed at Xie Ruqing in anger and said fiercely: "Xie Ruqing, you will be mine sooner or later!" ”

"You rebel!" Qi Yanghou slapped Qi Zhiyuan in the face, knocking the person to the ground, "You want to be angry with me!" ”

Qi Zhiyuan covered his face and snorted coldly, anyway, it was already like this, and he no longer cared about anything, "I'm not the son of the world anymore, you don't care how I speak, I can't smear you horizontally and vertically, you go to cultivate the third child, you want the eldest son to inherit the Qi family, but now that people are on their own, they are better than you, I'm afraid I can't look down on it, while the third child is still young, you can still teach it." Oh, but you'll have to be taken care of, and if you die, you'll have no successor......"

"Bastard thing!" The Marquis of Qiyang kicked Qi Zhiyuan, in the palace, in front of Gonggong Li and many guards, he didn't save Qi Zhiyuan at all.
