Chapter 621: Suspicious
Gongsun Yi glanced at the prince, the prince found that there was a burning sensation on his face, he looked in the direction of the lord who made him uncomfortable, and watched Gongsun Yi's gaze fall on him, the prince tried his best to control his mood at this time, he couldn't let Gongsun Yi see his weak heart.
The prince deliberately raised his head, looking like he had nothing to do with me, and a sneer swelled in Gongsun Yi's heart, sure enough, it was the prince, and he was still so calm at this time.
The emperor is an understanding person, he saw the prince's look towards Gongsun Yi, presumably the two of them already knew what was going on, even so the emperor was still silent about the two of them.
"I have indeed investigated this matter clearly, and Prince Heshuo has nothing to do with it, it is a rumor deliberately spread by someone."
When the emperor spoke, he was also observing Gongsun Yi, and he wanted to see how Gongsun Yi would react.
After Gongsun Yi heard the emperor say this, a smile appeared on his face, it was a relaxed smile, not like pretending, just like after being misunderstood, someone understood what grievances he had suffered, and seeing Gongsun Yi's appearance, the emperor did not continue to stare at him.
The emperor secretly thought to himself in his heart, maybe Gongsun Yi really didn't know anything.
"Your Majesty, since you said that this matter has nothing to do with the ministers, please also ask the emperor to tell the ministers what is going on, otherwise the ministers still feel a heavy burden now." Gongsun Yi asked the emperor to wash away his grievances in front of everyone.
Only the prince felt that Gongsun Yi was acting, he looked at Gongsun Yi's pitiful appearance, and hated itchy, he knew very well that there must be a relationship between Gongsun Yi and Fushengmen that he couldn't tell, but he had no evidence.
Now the prince lifted the stone and threw it on his foot, but fortunately, the emperor appeared in time and took the stone he lifted to another place, otherwise he would really hit his own foot.
The prince looked at Gongsun Yi and seemed to say that let you go this time, and you won't be so lucky next time.
"Ah Yi, don't worry, since I have investigated clearly, I will naturally give you an explanation." The emperor comforted Gongsun Yi, and Gongsun Yi knew that what he said and did would not affect the emperor's next plans, so he had to let everyone know that he was wronged.
This time, everyone said that he had the intention of rebellion, if the facts are investigated, the same news will appear next time, and there will be fewer people who believe it.
"Please also ask the emperor to return his innocence." Gongsun Yi spoke sincerely, his face was full of grievances, and the ministers also sympathized with him, coupled with the image of his painstaking management over the years, people would not think that he would have a heart of rebellion.
A cold color flashed in the prince's eyes, he didn't expect that Gongsun Yi was still taking advantage of other people's sympathy at this time, he didn't like to see the ministers speaking for Gongsun Yi. However, the more he disliked it, the more the voice actually appeared.
"Your Majesty, Prince Heshuo will not do anything to rebel, take 10,000 steps back and say that Fushengmen is not willing to associate with him, saying that it is a rebellion to have dealings with Fushengmen, Fushengmen is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and never interacts with the court, this is a fact that goes without saying, so the emperor must wash away the grievances of Prince Heshuo."
The courtier who spoke had little contact with Gongsun Yi on weekdays, but he simply couldn't get used to seeing others bullying Gongsun Yi.
Everyone in the court knows about Gongsun Yi, and naturally knows that Gongsun Yi has suffered a lot of grievances, and he can't be weaker, and he will be bullied all the time. Therefore, the minister who spoke was a little unbearable, especially when he saw that Taiwei was targeting Gongsun Yi everywhere, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ah Yi did not collude with the Fushengmen, and I want everyone to know the truth about this matter today."
The emperor thought that the ministers said that they just wanted a truth, but he was willing to give the ministers and Gongsun Yi a suitable truth, whether this truth is true or not, it is all up to the emperor himself.
The emperor has already said in front of everyone that Gongsun Yi and Fushengmen are not colluding, so what he wants to do next, Gongsun Yi will not care.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" The prime minister originally didn't have much thought about this matter, but after thinking about it, Gongsun Yi told them that the Queen Mother was going to assassinate Ziming, and Gongsun Yi and Shen Chenchen had a good relationship since childhood, and the prime minister couldn't help but start to wonder what was going on.
"Since you all want to know, then I will let you meet someone."
The emperor wanted them to see someone, and everyone looked at the emperor curiously. Only Gongsun Yi knew that the emperor took a death row prisoner from the cell yesterday, if he was not mistaken, the person the emperor let others see must be the person who was brought out of the cell.
After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch walked out of the emperor's side gently, and after a while, the eunuch was followed by two guards, and the guards pressed one person to appear in front of everyone.
I saw that the man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a cloak and a mantle of hair, and with fear in his eyes, and appeared in front of everyone silently.
The Taishi didn't understand what the emperor meant. "Who is this emperor, why is he so downcast?"
"This person is the one who wronged Ah Yi, he spread the news that Ah Yi and the Fushengmen colluded, so it caused turmoil in people's hearts, and I have sent someone to investigate clearly."
The emperor told everyone what was going on in the way he had planned, and when the prince saw this scene, he was very proud, and his father was still very concerned about him.
Gongsun Yi knew that all this was arranged by the emperor, he looked at the man and asked seriously: "This king has never had anything to do with you when he sees you in person, why do you want to frame this king?" ”
Gongsun Yi just wanted to ask what was going on and see what the other party would say, but after he asked, the other party didn't say anything, just whined and shouted, and no one had any clear words.
The ministers were even more puzzled, this was just a dumb person, how could he still spread the word that Prince Heshuo had colluded with the Fushengmen, no matter what.
"Your Majesty, this is a mute, how did he spread rumors?" The captain asked puzzledly, and the emperor would naturally answer his questions.
"He wasn't dumb, he had admitted the rumors he had spread before the spy brought him back, and in order to escape the crime, he deliberately took deaf and dumb medicine, so that no one could testify against him, as long as he couldn't speak, he couldn't tell that he did it."
Gongsun Yi listened to what the emperor said to everyone, and thought in his heart that it was probably not the other party who wanted to drink the medicine that caused deafness and dumbness, and was forced to drink by the emperor.
Although what the emperor said was full of doubts, as long as it came out of his mouth, others had to believe it.
