Chapter 210: Exposed
"Why did they suddenly mention the matter of Lichu?" Chu Mohan was a little puzzled.
Although he wanted to join forces with his colleagues in the DPRK and China to mention this matter in the near future, but now that Chu Moxiao had just returned from his military exploits, the situation was a little unfavorable for him.
"The people who were mentioned first today and reconsidered were all invited to a banquet organized by King Lin'an a few days ago." Dongyang knew that this matter was strange, so he had already investigated.
"Oh? King Lin'an? Chu Ziyu? Chu Mohan knew that Chu Ziyu was playing ghost again, but if he was so whimsical that he wanted to put Chu Moxiao on the throne just because of a military exploit, it would be really whimsical.
But in today's situation, the most important thing is to gather the hearts of the people and establish some merits, so as to compete with Chu Moxiao.
Chu Mohan didn't take Chu Ziyu's behavior seriously, and he began to think carefully about what could help him win the throne.
On the morning of the second day, the officials of the court found that there was an extra face in the court.
They talked about it in private, but the man was unmoved, just standing by Chu Gan's side.
Chu Mohan also found out when he came in, but after a quick glance, he was going to mention the matter of setting up a people's school today.
There are very few scholars in the common people's families, and the schools they attend are all private schools, and most of them are the children of official families.
If this is the case, then the people will be grateful for the opportunity he provided for the children of the common people to study and embark on a career in public service.
The early dynasty began according to the usual practice, and after a series of work reports, the emperor also discovered the strange Chu Ziyu in the crowd.
"Who's that?" The emperor pointed in the direction where Chu Ziyu was and said.
Chu Qian stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, this is the son of the minister, Chu Ziyu." ”
The emperor was slightly surprised, and there was an uproar in the court.
Chu Ziyu stood up, saluted and said to the emperor, "See the emperor, the ministers have grievances." ”
Chu Ziyu's directness shocked both Chu Mohan and the emperor, after all, the last time Chu Ziyu exposed Qi Peiying in public in the court, it caused disputes between the two countries.
"Your Majesty. I want to sue the fourth prince, Chu Mohan, for colluding with the Qi State to harm me and the princess. Chu Ziyu said.
Chu Mohan also didn't expect Chu Ziyu to expose this matter, wasn't he afraid that he would do something to Song Wanfeng?
When the emperor heard this, his expression quickly became serious, and he said solemnly, "You have evidence." ”
Imperial Physician Wei and Li Yang, who were behind him, slowly went up to the hall, and spoke after walking to Chu Ziyu's side.
"The minister greets the emperor."
"The grass people meet the emperor."
The emperor stretched out his hand, and the two stood up.
"When I was at the border some time ago, the four princes came to escort grain and grass. Then someone came to inform me that the grain and grass had been burned. I hurried to find out that this was a game set up by the four princes. He probably didn't expect me to escape, so he didn't cover his face. While I was engaged in a fight with him, General Zhang arrived, and the four princes hurriedly poured a poison on my face, leaving me with a thread hanging by a thread and disfiguring. ”
Chu Ziyu stated the events of that day in the army, and Chu Mohan's face instantly became terrifying.
"Your Majesty, when Ziyu came back, I saw the poison he had in. It was a poison unique to the Qi Kingdom, so he was seriously injured and had to change his face. ”
Imperial Physician Wei is an old man in the palace, he has always been upright, obsessed with medicine, and he can't lie about his condition, so what Chu Ziyu said is a little more credible.
"Mo Han, do you have something to explain." The emperor said with some cold words, after all, no one wants to speculate about his son.
"I don't admit to doing this." Chu Mohan knew that the matter was revealed, his brain was running quickly, and he denied, "Everyone here has a special technique called disguise, which can pretend to be someone else. I happened to be at the border at that time, and using my face could not only harm His Royal Highness the Prince, who was the commander-in-chief, but also put me in prison in order to win the war. I hope that my father will see clearly. ”
Chu Mohan's words swept him all away, and his head was the way.
Many officials present were talking.
"And who is the one next to you?"
This matter is not clear, and can only be investigated later, so the emperor can only focus on the other witness present.
"I am the person brought to Chu by Qi Peiying, the third prince of Qi State. One of the people who kidnapped the princess at the beginning, Li Yang. The man said, his face fearless.
"When did you come this time?" The emperor asked.
"I was instructed by the three princes and the four princes of your Chu State to kidnap the princess with those people. My family was in their hands at the time, so I didn't come out to testify. When it was revealed, the two of them killed us and later on our family, and I was lucky enough to escape. Li Yang told the truth about the matter.
Although they are two things that have nothing to do with each other, they can be pieced together to piece together an amazing fact.
Chu Mohan colluded with the people of the Qi State to harm the royal family of his country.
The court exploded in an instant, and Chu Mohan could hear what the people behind him said.
"I didn't expect these four princes to turn their elbows outward, and the justification he just made must be a lie."
"So it seems that this man is very thoughtful."
"I originally preferred the fourth prince to be the prince, but now it seems that it is difficult to take on the important task."
Chu Mohan's face became worse and worse as he discussed, and he looked at Chu Ziyu with bloodshot eyes.
"Ahem." Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, the emperor coughed twice, and the court instantly quieted down.
"This matter concerns the prince of our country, and it needs to be investigated and discussed. Dali Temple came to investigate, and both of them cooperated. The four princes should stay in the mansion for the time being, don't go out. With that, the emperor brushed his sleeves and left.
This nest almost killed someone, and he was even suspected of colluding with people from other countries, which touched the emperor's bottom line, no wonder he was so angry.
Chu Mohan turned around with gloomy eyes and stared at Chu Ziyu like a cheetah.
He walked to Chu Ziyu's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill her?" ”
When Chu Ziyu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said disdainfully to him with the attitude of a victor, "You don't dare." ”
Then he turned and left.
Chu Mohan looked at Chu Ziyu's departing back, but he was helpless.
Chu Ziyu is indeed right, in order for himself to be able to ascend the throne smoothly, he can't move Song Wanfeng.
Chu Ziyu is naturally not the kind of person who ignores Song Wanfeng's safety, Chu Mohan must get Song Wanfeng is the reason.
Now in this situation, it is safest for Song Wanfeng to stay with him, if he takes her back, then he has to be on guard against assassination all the time.
Chu Mohan returned to the palace angrily, and suddenly knocked the things on the table to the ground, and the crisp sound of landing seemed to show his displeasure.
"This Chu Ziyu is really a roadblock." Chu Mohan gritted his teeth and said.
Dongyang didn't dare to speak at the moment, and stood silently to the side, wanting to merge with the wall.
Chu Mohan calmed down after venting.
Now that this is happening, it is just in time to catch up with the matter of Lichu. Now it seems that it is difficult for me to rely on the right path to sit in this position.
In that case, let's use some other means.
"Dongyang, how long will it take to gather our men?" Chu Mohan asked.
When Dongyang heard this, he was slightly stunned and replied, "At least three days." ”
"Gather together." Chu Mo said with a cold smile.
Things have really reached the point of irreversibility, it seems that this Chu country is about to change the sky.
Chu Ziyu sent people to keep an eye on Chu Mohan's actions, so when Dongyang just went out, he knew his intentions.
He sat in the carriage and said to General Zhang on the side, "Let's get moving." ”
Chu Ziyu turned around and asked Zhou Shi, "Has the old general Qi's statement been written?" ”
"It's already on the way." Zhou Shi replied.
Chu Mohan, Chu Mohan, the show is open.
When the news of the incident in the court came out, the people of the people exploded instantly, and the original supporters of Chu Mohan fell for a while.
Song Wanqing happened to be selecting fabrics in Ai Yifang, and everyone who came in knew him and pointed at her back.
She didn't understand the situation, and hurriedly returned to the house to hear about it, and her face turned pale.
The court on the second day was not peaceful.
Chu Ziyu didn't come, but an excerpt set off a huge wave.
General Qi's post was sent to the emperor by a fast horse, and Peng Zhensheng's testimony and the number of account books pushed Chu Mohan's situation to another abyss.
The matter exposed by Chu Ziyu can be investigated again, but the account book attached to the post and the evidence of the relationship between the two can directly convict Chu Mohan.
For a time, the dignified fourth prince Chu Mohan was imprisoned.
And his wives and concubines flew away in an instant because of this sudden change, and moved the things in the house clean, but Song Wanfeng and Song Wanqing still stuck to it.
At this time, Song Yanliang's heart was not calm, and he recognized the person that night as Chu Ziyu in the court.
Originally, he still had the mentality of luck, thinking that Chu Mohan was just down for a while, and there should be no major incident.
But the next day, he was imprisoned. Song Yanliang didn't think about the events of that night again.
If Chu Ziyu exposed that matter, it would definitely cause public anger, and when the time came, they would become rats crossing the street, after all, the plague had taken the lives of many people and caused panic.
Song Yanliang tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.
After weighing the pros and cons for a night, he walked to the door of Dali Temple and beat the drum in front of the door.
The people of Dali Temple had been working for a long time because of Chu Mohan's affairs, and when they saw Song Yanliang beating the drum, they hurriedly opened the court.
"When do you need to sue?" The person in charge of Dali Temple came late, and he was still wearing the official robe of the previous few days, and he didn't seem to be idle.
"I'm going to turn myself in."
"I once helped the fourth prince Chu Mohan to create a plague that affected the people of the whole country. I deserve to die for my crimes, and I hope that you will find out the facts, and for the sake of my surrender, the punishment for me can be reduced. ”
