Chapter 157: The Time for Retribution Has Arrived

Xu Rulie's body shook coldly, to this day, he had never seen the emperor so angry, and at the same time, he also felt aggrieved by himself, he was so good as a prince, the two courtiers next to him, the emperor was not in a hurry to reprimand, but only dealt with himself.

But then again, even if Xu Rulie wanted to find a reason, he couldn't be stupid enough to poke the queen out, so he pursed his mouth and shifted the direction to Xiao Huai'an.

"Father's anger, the son does have something important to deal with, besides, Lord Xiao is so civil and military, how can a brave and warlike person not even take care of a prisoner, I'm afraid that no one will believe it, or is it that Lord Xiao is deliberately lax?"

"What do you mean by this, Third Prince?" Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at Xu Rulie. In the afternoon, Xu Rulie ran away for some messy thing, which indirectly led to the prisoner's suicide, the royal family was embarrassed, and Xiao Huai'an's anger had not completely dissipated, how could he be allowed to splash dirty water on himself.

"What does Your Highness mean, you know best in your heart, I'm afraid that you have already had a holiday with Your Highness, so you deliberately acted unfavorably, so that you can see your father blame Your Highness."

Xu Rulie sneered, he didn't find the reason for himself at all, and shirking his responsibility like this would only make the emperor more and more angry, and there was nothing in common with me.

"You left your post without permission, but you wanted to put the responsibility on others, how I taught you since I was a child, you didn't learn at all."

The emperor's chest continued to rise and fall, and he scolded him so angrily that he coughed himself, Xu Rulie quickly lowered his head, and Dequan, who was waiting next to him, also hurriedly delivered a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty is angry, but you must take care of your body."

The scolding that Emperor Fang blurted out made Xiao Huai'an's face change slightly, and Xu Rulie finally knew that it was powerful and closed his mouth, but Xiao Huai'an didn't plan to end today's matter so easily.

"The three palaces want to blame Weichen for today's events, and Weichen also has one thing he wants to ask the three princes. Why was the Japanese about to be executed, but the Third Highness had to leave suddenly, and the first time the envoys came to the banquet, the assassination at that time......"

Xiao Huai'an had a calm face, such a calm but aggressive appearance, but a bit of the emperor's usual momentum. Xu Rulie's heart trembled slightly, but he only thought that he had been with the emperor for a long time, and he was a little touched, so he forcibly cheered up again.

"What do you say? What do you want to frame Your Highness? ”

"Whether it is a false accusation, His Royal Highness should understand it psychologically." Xiao Huai'an ignored his lustful inwardness, turned around and bowed to the incomprehensible emperor above.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive you, Weichen has this play, and His Royal Highness is suspected of colluding with the envoys of the Japanese State, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate."

"You are presumptuous!" After hearing that, before the emperor could react, Dequan, who was appeasing the emperor, scolded in advance.

The emperor immediately turned his head and skimmed over lightly, and Dequan hurriedly bent over to try to explain in confusion. "The old slave is reprimanding for Your Majesty, lest Your Majesty be angry, the third prince is a royal noble, where can people be slandered like this."

"This matter is rather credible than non-existent, since Xiao Huai'an can say such a thing, there must be evidence." The emperor's face was as usual, and he didn't necessarily have any dissatisfaction with Dequan, and slowly turned around, and Xiao Huai'an bowed again.

"Yes. Wei Chen has already asked to understand that at that banquet, His Royal Highness had specially bought the guards guarding the door, saying that he would send a person into the palace to perform in order to give him a chance to face the saint, but there was an assassination on the same day, and the matter had to be investigated carefully. ”

When the words landed, Xu Rulie next to him really couldn't hide the expression on his face cracked, and his subordinates were unconsciously scared and clenched their cuffs.

However, such an exciting development did not cause the doctor on the right to pay any attention, but shook his head lightly at Xiao Huai'an's back.

"As long as the guards guarding the door Zhao Zhong, Qian Yi, and Sun Wen are called, it can be proved that what Wei Chen is pointing out is true or false, and maybe the Third Highness should also think about the reason why he acted like this that day."

Xiao Huai'an took a deep breath, when he learned that Xu Rulie was doing something at the banquet, he was already very entangled, and the incident of the prisoner car today, Xu Rulie was not there, which really made it difficult for him to endure it anymore.

He originally wanted to wait quietly for some other possibilities to be found later, but Xu Rulie was too aggressive, even if Xu Rulie did not collude with foreigners, he would inevitably have to explain these things.

The emperor sat above, and when he saw that he was so sure of what he said, he really believed seven or eight points in his heart, and immediately waved his hand to let people go down to pass the word, Dequan immediately panicked, lowered his body, and whispered persuasion.

"Your Majesty, the third prince was born to you and the queen's mother, Xiao Huai'an is just a courtier, how can he suspect His Royal Highness the prince for the sake of the courtier, this matter is spread, I am afraid of making people laugh?"

"Since you are in a high position, you should be worthy of your position, the Son of Heaven passed down by the ancestors broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, I don't care how the previous emperor behaved, at least under my nose, I can't tolerate this kind of filth of committing adultery and committing crimes."

The emperor kept a straight face, without considering Dequan's words, "Moreover, if Rulie really has a clear conscience and is not afraid of the testimony of others, he can naturally be innocent by this name." ”

It is worthy of Xu Huayin after he sat on the throne, in the past ten years, the world has been clear in Haiyan River, and the first 24 generations of emperors have been more or less criticized.

Dequan listened to his words, knowing that the emperor had always been assertive, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to change his mind, so he couldn't help but worry in his heart, thinking of calling someone to inform the queen, but it was a pity that no one was allowed to leave easily at this time.

Dequan was so worried that before he could come up with a solution, the door of the temple outside had already been pushed open.

"Slaves Zhao Zhong, Qian Yi, Sun Wen, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Xiao Lizi's face stiffened, and he led three young men wearing inferior guard uniforms to come over, and knelt down behind the main hall one after another.

"Get up."

The emperor's face was as usual, and after adjusting his mood, he said slowly, "Huai'an said just now, you know what happened at the banquet when you invited the envoys a month ago, tell me everything you know. ”

As soon as these words came out, Dequan and Xiao Lizi stood aside worriedly, for fear that the three of them would say something unfavorable to Xu Rulie and affect his status. However, the three people below looked at each other, as if they didn't understand at all.

After hesitating like this for a while, Zhao Zhong led by Zhao Zhong stood up, "Your Majesty forgives me, the slave doesn't know what Your Majesty is referring to, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Huai'an opened his mouth slightly and snorted, could it be that he didn't understand why they were pretending to be stupid like this. "You don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth. A few days after the banquet ended, the official met you halfway, and heard you say that the third prince sent people into the palace to participate in the banquet performance. ”

When the words landed, the emperor in the palace was waiting for their answer, but the doctor looked silent, and Xu Rulie put one hand behind his back, waiting for nothing to say, without worrying at all.

Zhao Zhong half-bowed and looked at Xiao Huai'an's gaze for a moment, perhaps because Xiao Huai'an's eyes were too serious, which frightened him into weakness, and even knelt down with the other two people.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Lord Xiao forgives your sins, the slave really doesn't know about it, these words have never been said to Lord Xiao, I don't know why Lord Xiao said this, the slave really doesn't dare to deliberately frame His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Xiao Huai'an was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and before he had time to ask, he asked Xu Rulie, who was waiting to watch the show, in advance.

"If it wasn't for what you said, why did Lord Xiao go to His Majesty to testify against His Highness, or did you have another secret story and were dragged over?"

Xu Rulie had just heard that there were witnesses who were still very nervous, and at this moment he suddenly became comfortable, as if everything was under his control. Xiao Huai'an's eyes narrowed slightly, and he only cared about seeing some clues from his face, and he didn't notice what kind of pity the Taiwei had behind him.

When Zhao Zhong heard Xu Rulie's words, as if he had been prompted, he hurriedly took out a large handful of silver tickets from his sleeves in his arms, and took out the other two people together.

"The three highnesses are wise, the three highnesses forgive their sins, the minions and others were indeed bribed to deliberately give false testimony, but in front of His Majesty, the minions are really afraid. Worried about offending Tianweihai, please forgive Your Highness, the minions will hand over all these bought silver tickets, Lord Xiao must not blame us. ”

That's it, the key is the last sentence, which is to properly pour dirty water on Xiao Huai'an. Xiao Huai'an frowned, and it was rare to raise his volume and scold a little uncontrollably.

"Nonsense, when will this official ......"

The words stopped abruptly, and Xiao Huai'an immediately understood what the reason was for the playful expression on Shangxu Rulie's face. Xu Rulie endured the smile in his heart and coughed lightly.

"Lord Xiao, don't be nervous, it's just that you haven't made up your mind yet, Lord Xiao has reacted so much, but it makes people think that you are a thief. Besides, is it possible to allow Lord Xiao to participate in the next book of His Royal Highness in front of his father, but not allow others to tell the truth? ”

After that, Xu Rulie turned sideways, so the emperor couldn't see the expression on his face, and only let Xiao Huai'an clearly see his eyes full of mockery.
