When the news reached Shangjing, the emperor was rarely not angry, but the killing intent in his eyebrows and eyes made the courtiers present tremble.

He only said one word: "Thorough investigation." ”

Kyoto, which was originally in the doldrums due to the rebellion of King Zhennan, has once again cast a shadow on this incident.

The courtiers in the court and the central government are all in danger, and the people in the three divisions are even more busy with their feet not touching the ground.

Even Gu Jiu knew the news, and he was a little uneasy for a while.

And her uneasiness reached its peak more and more after Qin Zheng was injured when he went home.

"It's just that I'm not careful when I arrest someone, Ah Jiu doesn't have to worry about me."

Qin Zheng's words made Gu Jiu's heart more and more uncomfortable, and she bit her lip, giving birth to a sense of powerlessness.

She couldn't help Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng couldn't understand the appearance of the little girl, so he immediately grabbed her hand and said in a soft voice: "Who said you can't help me?" Everything at home is in charge of you, and the house is stable, so I can feel at ease. ”

His words did not comfort Gu Jiu, but seeing Qin Zheng's tired eyebrows, Gu Jiu showed a smile and no longer bothered him.

At night, it snowed, and the wind howled, and the screen windows rattled.

When I woke up in the morning, the stewards in the suburbs of Beijing went back and forth, saying that the houses of the tenants on the Zhuangzi had collapsed due to the snow.

It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but this year's snow has become a disaster, Gu Jiu got the news and was busy with people to deal with it, she was so busy that she indirectly alleviated her worries about Qin Zheng.

Seven days later, the urgent report sent by the Criminal Department and the border gate was sent to the emperor's desk.

The courtiers of the Criminal Department sent the news first, and before the emperor could read it, he got the information of the border emergency.

He didn't wait to read the news, and hurriedly ordered people to come in.

There were people who came, two horses died on the road, and they stumbled a little when they entered the door: "Weichen knocks on the emperor!" ”

The emperor stood up and asked, "But what has happened to the border pass?" ”

Hearing this, the man took out the fold from his sleeve, and put a dirty package on the ground: "Back to the emperor, this is evidence related to the fine work, please take a look." ”

As soon as the words came out, the emperor's expression suddenly turned cold, and he hurriedly took the fold and opened it, but after seeing the content on it, his face instantly darkened.

The next moment, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Give me that package!" ”

Hearing this, the inner chamberlain hurriedly put the package with both hands, and the emperor disliked his slowness, so he almost tore the package open and looked at the contents one by one.

If he still had some hope at first, but later, he sat on the dragon chair in a gloomy manner.

"This rebel!"

He never thought that the one who collaborated with the king of Zhennan turned out to be the second prince!

In addition to the handwritten letters exchanged between the two princes, there are also several pieces of physical evidence, each of which directly points to the second prince.

At the end, the emperor took a deep breath and asked the Imperial Forest Army to come with the second prince, while he looked at the other letter on the table.

This was sent by the Criminal Department.

He hadn't had time to look at it yet, but now, he had a premonition inexplicably.

Sure enough, after opening it, I saw that the second prince was also impeached inside, and even the content was similar.

The third division transferred the recent changes in Beijing, and the criminal department found out that the second prince had too close contacts with the Zhennan Palace, and there were many misdeeds before.

The twists and turns of the Criminal Department, the corroboration of the border gates, and the physical evidence spread on the Dragon case.

The emperor hammered the table hard, I don't know if I felt more cold or regretful.

When the second prince was brought over, the emperor wanted to save some face for himself and the royal family, because he let these people go out first.

Only their father and son were left in the huge hall.

Not long after the second prince was released from prison, he suffered in prison, and his eyes were a little frightened.

"Say hello to my father." 360 Literature Network

Hearing his words, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "Greetings to me, I see that you want me to die!" ”

Hearing this, the second prince became more and more uneasy, and he was so busy kowtowing to ask for sin: "Erchen doesn't dare, I don't know what Erchen has done wrong to make you unhappy, please forgive my father." ”

Seeing him like this, the emperor took a deep breath and asked, "I ask you, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to collude with the traitor?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the second prince suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head, and said in confusion: "Father, the son is not!" ”

He still refused to admit it at this time, and the emperor was so angry that he smashed all the physical evidence on the dragon case, and said in a deep voice: "No? Then look at what this is! ”

The evidence was smashed like snowflakes and fell lightly to the ground, and the second prince almost picked it up in a panic, but after seeing the content on it, his face turned white in an instant.

It is indeed its own handwriting, but those contents are terrifying counterstatements!

"Father, this is not written by the son!"

He was frightened, and when he kowtowed, he hit the ground and instantly made his forehead bloody.

The second prince didn't know anything, but kept saying: "I ask my father to be the master of my son's minister, and my son is wronged!" ”

"Wronged?"

The emperor looked at his son in front of him, and felt more and more disappointed: "In the past, although I knew that you were at odds with the third child, I never intervened. But now you have the audacity to do such a rebellious thing, and you have put all the blame on him! You've disappointed me! ”

If he hadn't seen these evidences today, the emperor wouldn't have known that the so-called reversal had been planned by the second prince!

He colluded with the king of Zhennan and borrowed the Red Lotus Sect to do evil in Beijing. After being found out before, he didn't stop doing it, and put these hats on the heads of the third prince!

No wonder before, the news that the emperor found out was related to the three princes, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that those are all traps made by the Zhennan Palace!

The emperor was so angry that he thought that he was being toyed with by his own son, and his words were even more gloomy: "Come on, drag this rebel son down to me!" ”

The second prince wanted to defend again, but half of the words of defense did not reach the emperor's ears.

After the second prince was taken down, the emperor first ordered someone to invite Qin Zheng, and then the people from the criminal department came in, and asked, "Is there any evidence for what was said on the fold?" ”

There were still traces of blood in this hall, and the people from the Criminal Department didn't dare to say more, so they only said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, there are yes." ”

He presented the evidence he brought, and at the end he considered it again: "The ministers only found out that it was related to the second prince, but they didn't dare to confirm it, it is related to the reputation of the prince, and I need to ask you to make plans again." ”

Hearing this, the emperor's heart was like ashes, and he said coldly: "Then check, I'm accurate, go to the Second Prince's Mansion to find out." ”

After receiving his will, the people of the criminal department saluted and took their leave.

After he left, the emperor leaned back in his chair with his eyebrows pinched, his eyebrows and eyes full of gloom.

I have to admit that the emperor also knows that he is indeed old.

Old enough to be ridden on the head by his sons to do evil, but he has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

The emperor was a little unwilling, but this unwillingness became a frustration in his heart, and now his mind was dizzy.

A fishy sweet feeling came up in his throat, and the emperor coughed a few times with his fist, and quietly poured down a large cup of tea before suppressing the fishy breath.

Qin Zheng came quickly.

When he saw the emperor, he respectfully asked for peace: "The minister knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

The emperor waved his hand, his expression was hard to hide his tiredness: "Get up, I want to give you something." ”

……

No one knew what the emperor did with Qin Zheng, but in the evening of the next day, the emperor made a decree to depose the three princes, demote them to concubines, and behead them with a black face, in order to comfort the souls of the dead at the border pass.

As soon as this news came out, Concubine Liang immediately fainted in the palace.

She came to her senses almost in an instant and stumbled to the Qianqing Palace.

At that time, the emperor made a decree, and when he learned that she was coming, he naturally disappeared.

The second prince is deeply guilty, and the mother's family behind Concubine Liang naturally can't escape. But now, he has to deal with them one by one.

And for the time being, he doesn't want to see Concubine Liang.

However, he didn't want to see it, but Concubine Liang broke in, and after entering the door, she fell directly to the ground, almost crawling over and kowtowing to him: "Your Majesty, please be clear, the emperor has been wronged, you can't kill him!" ”
