Chapter 449: Resignation
The evidence was almost all dealt with, and Li Changfeng simply didn't send anyone to find it, and directly went to create some "evidence" himself.
The next day, Li Changfeng took a palace guard to meet the emperor.
"What do you mean by that?" The emperor looked at the two people in front of him, with a bit of doubt in his eyes, and after speaking, he asked, "Ahem...... Did I ask you to look into the results? ”
He asked people to investigate the strangeness of this matter, why did the other party bring a guard?
"Erchen is here for this matter this time," Li Changfeng offered his hand, and said lightly with no expression on his face: "This time, Erchen went back and carefully investigated, and the jade pendant found at the scene was put down by the five royal brothers when they went to investigate the case that day. ”
As he spoke, Li Changfeng turned his head and pointed to the guard next to him, and then continued: "This is the witness found by Erchen, he went to the scene with the five royal brothers to investigate that day, and accidentally saw the five royal brothers secretly release the jade pendant. ”
"Really?" The Emperor frowned, turned his head to look at the guard, and asked, "What he said is the truth?" Tell me all that you saw that day. ”
The guard nodded, and said what Li Changfeng had instructed him in advance.
After believing this, the emperor was furious, and immediately found Li Tianzhe to confront him.
Although the evidence was forged, Li Tianzhe really did these things, so when the emperor told the matter of the guard, he asked again, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" At that time, Li Tianzhe was speechless.
He didn't even consider that the evidence was forged, and only thought that he didn't handle it cleanly enough.
"I really misjudged you, I never thought that you would do such a despicable thing!" The emperor snorted coldly and scolded.
Because he was really a little angry, anger surged into his heart, and the emperor couldn't help coughing a few times, and his face became a little paler.
"Father forgives sins," what he did was exposed, and while Li Tianzhe was weak-hearted, he was more afraid.
He knelt down and said, "Son, the son is only confused for a while, and he will do such an excessive thing after listening to the slander of the third prince's brother, and ask my father to forgive me!" ”
Now that he has been exposed, he may be in a catastrophe, and he can't care about so much, so he hurriedly said.
"Hmph, the third child is guilty of framing your siblings, but you can't get out of it yourself!" The emperor couldn't see that he was shirking his responsibility, so he snorted coldly and said.
Saying that, the emperor couldn't help coughing twice, and then forcibly endured the discomfort and said: "When the fifth prince Li Tianzhe investigated the murder of the princess of the neighboring country, he not only knew that the real murderer did not report it, but also easily framed his siblings and had a vicious mind. ”
The emperor reported Li Tianzhe's charges one by one, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head to look at the other party, and the more Li Tianzhe listened, the worse his face became, and the whole person almost couldn't help shaking.
"From now on, I will step down from all my duties, be confined to the Five Kings' Mansion, and I will not go out without my order!"
"Father, the emperor ......" Li Tianzhe listened, and his heart sank, the emperor's punishment was more ruthless than anything else.
Now is the time when the political parties are fiercely competing, and if he is confined to his home and cannot interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, it is no different from being exploited to seize the throne!
After all, if he loses his authority, his opponent will definitely seize the opportunity to snatch it, and in the future, the opponent's momentum will be big enough, even if he restores his authority, it will be useless...... balance
He wanted to ask for mercy, but the emperor had no intention of making sure at all, and after giving the order, he asked people to take him down.
Originally, Li Zhishen should have been punished in the same way as him, but there was a concubine behind him, pleading in the emperor's ear.
said that this incident actually had nothing to do with Li Zhishen, he just had a bad idea for a while and opened his mouth to propose, and he didn't think that Li Tianzhe would really do that.
The emperor couldn't help but soften his heart when she kept begging like this, and everything was done by Li Tianzhe alone, so he didn't cut off Li Zhishen's authority, but just grounded.
……
After all, it was the emperor's decision, and Li Changfeng couldn't say anything, and the result of this treatment was not much different from what he expected, so he didn't say much.
After the matter was dealt with, Li Changfeng went back to the house and told Mu Yunqian about the matter.
"I didn't expect that the fifth prince would still have the intention of harming you...... Mu Yunqian listened, frowning, this time the death of the princess of the neighboring country was used to make a fuss, and people with a heart wanted to frame her, originally as long as Li Tianzhe went to investigate, they would not have so much trouble.
I didn't know that Li Tianzhe was so vicious!
"I didn't expect it." Li Changfeng smiled bitterly, he had helped his imperial brother for so many years, if it weren't for the two consecutive killings this time, he wouldn't dare to think that the other party would treat him as a hostile person.
"But speaking of which, we also have to plan for the future, and after this time, you and him will be completely reversed, so I am afraid that our situation will be even more difficult in the future." Mu Yunqian saw that he was sad, and he didn't mention it anymore, but said.
This issue should indeed be considered earlier, now that Li Changfeng and the princes have grievances, even if he doesn't want to fight, the other party may not be able to let him go.
At that time, when the two of them are lifted, they will do something to the two of them sooner or later.
"This king doesn't want to compete with them for something, and now it's really time to find a way to get out of the way......" Li Changfeng squinted his eyes and said, as he spoke, he reached out and took Mu Yunqian's hand, and then continued,
"This king is reluctant to take my daughter-in-law and son on an adventure, I just want to stay away from this political situation as soon as possible, return to the mountains and forests with you, and live a life like a fairy couple."
"Who is your daughter-in-law before you get married?" Mu Yunqian couldn't help but glance at him, with a little embarrassment on his face, but in his heart he thought the same as the other party.
"Sooner or later, there will be a big wedding, and after a while, this king will go to his father to mention it." Li Changfeng is right, the wedding has been delayed, and it has always been a pimple in his heart.
Li Changfeng teased her for a few more words, only to be forcibly pulled back by the other party and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"If we want to quit the political situation, we must find someone to ensure that we can get out of the political situation, otherwise if we just leave......" Li Changfeng thought in his heart for a while, and then said: "In the future, no matter which of them wins, they will regard us as a scourge." ”
Even if they retreat to the mountains and forests, the other party will not let go of their hearts, and it is very likely that they will send people to chase and kill them to prevent future troubles.
"And what do you mean?"
"It seems that I still have to go to the Five Kings' Mansion......"
