Chapter 301: Debate in the court
Fan Tu and his colleagues were shocked, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so they wanted to leave the palace quickly, but before they left the Qinzheng Palace, they were surrounded by the guards who suddenly rushed in outside.
The entire hall was surrounded in an instant!
"Do you want to imprison the imperial court? Get out of the way! Fantu shouted.
But Long Wei in front of him was unmoved, and responded sharply with a cold face: "The eldest princess has an order, and no official is allowed to leave the Qinzheng Palace for a single step!" β
"It's the other way around, right now it's the fourth prince who is in charge of the country, but as soon as the prince goes to the battlefield, the eldest princess will bring troops into the palace, and imprison me and other important ministers of the court, I'm afraid it's not a rebellion!"
The big hat was buttoned down, and in the shouting of the sail map, Chu Jinqian was instantly convicted of being against the party, and many officials in the court looked at each other, although they did not say that they were shaken, they all had doubts.
If they didn't want to rebel, why did they send troops to trap them?
What exactly does the eldest princess mean?
"Whether the palace rebels or not, it's up to you to decide."
There was a lot of noise in the main hall, Chu Jin came dressed in a dignified and solemn style, wearing a gold and black phoenix robe, domineering, and the officials retreated to kneel on both sides and bowed.
Facing Chu Jinqi, everyone's hearts were in awe.
This is also the reason why Fantu is so jealous of Chu Jinqian and must let Chu Meiluo solve Chu Jinqian before leaving Beijing.
Chu Meiluo clearly saw Chu Jinqian drink the bowl of chronic poison with his own eyes, and Su Yanran also testified on the side...... No, it should be said that everyone who was present at that time was a witness! Chu Jinqian can't have a way to live!
But if that's the case, what's going on with the big living person with a radiant face in front of him?
"Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess!"
Everyone spoke in unison and respectfully welcomed the eldest princess to a high position.
Chu Jinqian did not go up to the highest step to sit on the dragon chair, but stood on the first step below, his eyes were like an eagle falcon, sharp and sharp, sweeping everyone in the main hall!
The heart is weak and his back is cold, and the sweat on his forehead is like rain!
Fantu stepped forward with a hard head. "Wei Chen saw Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and dared to ask the eldest princess what she meant by leaving us in the main hall today? But is there anything important to command, orβ"
"I just said that this palace is imprisoning you, why do you only say that you are being kept now?" As soon as Chu Jin's condensed voice came out, he was instantly frightened.
Fantu gritted his teeth, and after glimpsing a kneeling behind him, he secretly sighed how could these people be so unfocused? People are just temptations, they haven't said anything, and they don't have strong evidence, how can they show themselves!
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen is just in a hurry, and he doesn't choose what to say."
"Don't dare? Hehe, a manly man, I don't dare to be responsible for what I say, Fantu, this palace sees you as a eunuch. Chu Jinqian smiled coldly. But it's a pity that my Dasheng Kingdom Palace can't accommodate the eunuchs of the East China Sea Kingdom! β
When the words came out, the scene was in an uproar!
"The eldest princess said carefully!"
"Eldest Princess Mingjian!"
"Eldest princess, Lord Fantu is the most trusted person of the Four Princes, how can he be from the East China Sea?" I don't know who clicked on Chu Mello, and everyone's minds suddenly turned more than a dozen turns.
Everyone present is a human spirit, what kind of fancy intestines haven't seen before?
At that moment, they immediately thought about it, and they took two steps back, and distanced themselves from the sail map.
"Eldest Princess, what do you mean by this? Fantu admits that he has been innocent all his life, loyal to the imperial court, wholeheartedly for the country, and has never had a rebellious heart! Fantu bowed his head and arched his hand, a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. And the fact that I am from the East China Sea is not a secret, as long as everyone present is a good friend, you know! I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child, and there was a famine in my hometown, I came to Dasheng all the way from the East China Sea to Dasheng, and it was the four princes at that time who saved Weichen and cultivated them carefully. β
"So even if Weichen has the blood of the East China Sea Kingdom, Weichen's heart will always be loyal to Dasheng!"
"Please eldest princess Mingjian!!"
Fantu's words were impassioned, and many people present were moved.
"Yes, Lord Fantu did say that he was from the East China Sea."
"Yes, this matter is not a secret, many of us know that our imperial court recruits capable people and wise men, and he is not the only foreigner, after all, the relations between several countries before this war were harmonious, and there are many married families on the border between the two countries, which is normal!"
For a moment, the wind changed.
Fan Tu still bowed his head and bowed his hands, very respectful, only his eyes raised slightly, and he looked at Chu Jinqian proudly, but he saw that this arrogant and domineering woman was already smiling arrogantly and confidently, not affected by anything!
For no reason, the heart was weak for a second, and Fan Tu hurriedly gave the people behind him a look.
What are you all doing in a daze? People are terrible, why don't you speak for me?
"That's enough." Chu Jinqian listened to everyone's words, and after a while, he interrupted in a cold voice.
The hall fell silent instantly, and a pin drop could be heard.
"It's just that you are so excited to expose your identity as a native of the East China Sea, and you also instigated the courtiers to help together, I don't know how noble your identity is, is it my prime minister!" Chu Jinqian said and glanced at Prime Minister Liang Zhuo, who had been silent, and saw that he was still bowing his head and not speaking, a slight light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Fantu.
"Please be cautious, eldest princess! Wechen has never coveted the position of prime minister! β
"Oh? Then you tell Hongu, what is your identity? Chu Jin raised his eyebrows.
"Micro, micro-minister is ......"
"You are a staff officer in my nephew's mansion, and you don't have a real position in my court, but you can go deep into my court and get the help of so many people, look, just a few words in this palace, it attracted so many people to speak for you, Fantu, your ability is really not small, such a capable person, this palace is really curious why you don't directly take a meritorious test, and enter the court as an official in a dignified manner?"
"Wechen's life was saved by the four princes, Wechen swore a poisonous oath, and he will-"
"There is no need to make up lies, this palace said that it is for you to recognize the situation and confess yourself, I didn't expect you to be so blind." Chu Jin waved his hand, not paying attention to the sail diagram at all.
was interrupted several times, and Fantu's face turned green with anger.
"Come on, bring the things up, distribute them to the officials, and let everyone see how our honorable Lord Fantu collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!"
"What!?" When Fantu turned around, he saw several Iron Lady soldiers in armor walking in and distributing letters to the officials present, and the stamps on the letters he would never have forgotten in his dreams.
It is the seal of the Tokai Kingdom Imperial Family!
How can it be?!
"Are you curious about how Hongu was able to get hold of these confidential letters?" Chu Jin looked at the sail diagram condescendingly. "Do you think the people around you are all iron-clad and airtight?"
"This ......" Fan Tu was dumbfounded.
"Sail Map! What the hell is going on?! β
"So you've been lying to us all along! Are these letters true?! β
"You asked the fourth prince to retreat to Pingzhou to defend Qinping Pass, in order to give the Donghai Kingdom a chance to send troops to save us, and then cede the territory of my Dasheng Kingdom to it?!"
"And what's going on with this trade tax? Sail Chart! How daring! β
The ministers are excited, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is a literati, they will definitely make the sail map into a hornet's nest!
Fan Tu saw that the momentum was not second, and he took out the smoke bomb and was about to flee, but who knew that a knife suddenly slashed into his shoulder behind him, and Fan Tu looked back and saw that it was the long entourage beside him! is the person he trusts the most!!
"Y-you-"
"Lord Fantu, I'm sorry, my wife and children are in the hands of the eldest princess."
"Long ...... Public...... The main ......" Fan Tu glared at the woman on the high platform with hatred, she was so high, strategizing, she waited for so long and couldn't bear it, but she was a blockbuster at the critical moment!
Did you lose like this?
Committed to lurking in the enemy country for several years, is it all going to be in vain!?
"Nope! These letters are all fake! It's slander! It's a frame-up! I didn't write these letters! Fantu made his last struggle.
Chu Jinqian looked at him, and then turned to the old woman behind him to say a few words, and the other party nodded and retreated.
After a while, something happened that made everyone's hearts tremble!
His Majesty the Emperor, who had been sick for several months, slowly came into everyone's sight!
"Ministers, see the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!! β
Everyone knelt down, including Chu Jinyan.
And Fan Tu was pressed to the ground by Long Wei, looking at the man sitting on the dragon chair in disbelief.
He felt that it was all so unreal! He had been planning for so long, adding the potions to Chu Haotian's diet in batches, he should be dying, and he was about to die! But in front of him, except for his pale, there was nothing wrong with him at all!
No, it's a dream!
He must be dreaming!
What a nightmare!
"Fantu, you and your accomplices colluded inside and outside to buy my personal palace maid to poison me, are you guilty?"
Chu Haotian's majestic voice spread out, and everyone didn't dare to raise their heads, Fantu's body was shocked, and he couldn't say anything with his mouth open.
All the quibbles are so pale at this time.
Because all the people he wanted to harm stood intact in front of him, with evidence, pointing the finger at himself!
He realized that there was no escape!!
"Your Majesty atons for your sins! The sail map is just a ghost for a while! This matter has nothing to do with the four princes, everything is Wei Chen's idea, and Wei Chen wants to do it to His Majesty! The fourth prince doesn't know anything about this, Your Majesty! β
Anyone with a discerning eye heard a different meaning in this remark.
Fantu is clearly dissociating himself with Chu Mello, but in fact, he is pouring dirty water on Chu Mello!
Poisoning the emperor is such a big thing, how can a royal palace counselor in Fantu be able to do it? Among them, there must be a high position in the palace to pave the way for it.
The fourth prince is absolutely inseparable!
Chu Haotian waved his hand. "Take him down and put him in the heavenly prison for strict trial, I want to see what evil things he has done in my Dasheng all these years!"
Chu Jinqian stood aside, coldly watching Fan Tu and his colleagues being taken down, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
She and the emperor both knew in their hearts that Fantu's words just now would have completely dragged Chu Meiluo into the water, if Chu Meiluo was not severely punished, it would inevitably shake people's hearts, and even the remnants of the East China Sea would hold the handle and release rumors to attack the Dasheng royal family to protect the prince and disregard people's lives!
He sighed heavily.
O nephew! You've got a big problem for us!
