The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

When the prince arrived slowly outside the imperial study, the situation outside was also a little solemn, all the eunuchs and guards had serious expressions, and none of them spoke, as if someone had specially explained.

The big eunuch beside the emperor walked up to the prince with a smile on his face, and he said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, you can be regarded as coming, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the imperial study for a long time, please go in with the old slave." ”

"Father-in-law, apart from the main palace, did my father summon someone else?"

"No, only you, Your Highness."

"Only Hongu alone? There is no other prince? ”

"Nope."

The crown prince was suddenly a little confused, if it weren't for Jiang Qiancheng and Jiang Qianbai having found evidence to sue the emperor in front of the emperor, why would the emperor call himself to the imperial study in such a hurry?

Before entering, the crown prince took a deep breath and told himself not to be nervous and anxious no matter what happened, and to take his time, after all, he was the emperor's biological son, and no matter how angry he was, he would not kill himself.

After entering, the crown prince respectfully kowtowed in front of the emperor and asked for peace: "The son sees his father, and his father is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

"Get up," the Emperor's tone was very calm, "I have come here for you this time, and I have something to discuss with you. ”

Listening to the emperor's words, the prince instantly relaxed, it turned out that he was not looking for his own trouble, but to discuss things with himself.

The crown prince hurriedly smiled and said, "Father, please speak, the sons will definitely try their best to solve problems for their father." ”

"Do you remember the two things about Lao Qi's assassination at the border pass and his assassination by horse bandits on his way back to the imperial city?"

The smile on the prince's face instantly stiffened, and his eyes looked at the emperor with a calm expression in surprise.

The emperor said: "I originally handed over these two matters to Lao Qi to deal with by himself, but the results of his investigation made me feel a little surprised, but I promised him that no matter what the result is, I will make the decision for him, so I came here to discuss with you and see how this matter should be resolved." ”

The prince cautiously asked: "Then what is the result of the investigation of the seventh brother, who is so bold to assassinate him?" ”

The emperor looked at the crown prince, and the prince hurriedly smiled, in order to hide his embarrassment and weakness.

The emperor laughed and threw a fold in front of the prince: "Can you believe that these two things are actually done by Prime Minister Liu Cheng behind his back?" Before, Lao Qi embarrassed Liu Rouer in public, and he actually wanted to take revenge like this, which is simply hateful! ”

The prince hurriedly looked at the fold, the content of which was clearly written about the means of Prime Minister Liu Cheng's crime, but there was no mention of himself in it, did Jiang Qiancheng really not find his own evidence, or did he do it on purpose?

The crown prince frowned, his eyes staring at the song deadly, and he didn't know how to answer the emperor's words for a while.

"Prince, why don't you speak? Do you think there's something wrong with this? ”

"This ......" the crown prince smiled, then closed the fold and handed it back to the emperor: "Father, please forgive the children for being stupid and not seeing any clues." ”

"Don't you think this finding is strange?"

"What's strange?"

"Although Prime Minister Liu Cheng resents Lao Qi, but the assassination at the border pass, the assassination on the way back to the imperial city, according to Prime Minister Liu's temperament, there should be no evidence left, but the old Qi handed it over, but it is very conclusive evidence!"

The crown prince suddenly raised his head: "What does the father mean is that those evidences are all forged by the seventh brother, isn't it true?" ”

"It's not impossible, but I don't have any evidence."

The prince's eyes rolled, and his mind was thinking quickly, it seemed that the emperor did not believe the evidence that Jiang Qiancheng had found, if he kept Prime Minister Liu at this time, then Prime Minister Liu would definitely stand on his side more firmly, and the things he had to do would be much simpler!

So the crown prince smiled and said: "Father, the son feels that this matter should not be judged too quickly, and it must be carefully considered, after all, Prime Minister Liu has a noble status and has always done his best for our Western Jin Dynasty, but you can't doubt his loyalty because of some evidence that may be forged!" ”

"I think what you said makes sense," the emperor said with a smile, "In this way, this matter will be left to you to verify, and if there is any mistake, report it immediately, and I will solve it!" ”

"Yes!"

"Go ahead, be fast."

"Erchen will go to investigate, and he must live up to his father's expectations!"

The prince left the imperial study with a smile, originally thought that the emperor was here to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect that he would let himself pick up a big bargain, and now Prime Minister Liu has to thank himself!

But what the prince didn't know was that after the prince left the imperial study, Jiang Qiancheng, who had been hiding behind the screen of the imperial study, slowly walked out.

While cleaning up the table, the emperor said: "It seems that what you said is right, the prince has indeed colluded with Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and the two of them are the most powerful people in the Western Jin Dynasty. ”

"In that case, it's better to take this opportunity to catch them all."

"What's your solution?"

"There is no way, it's just that there is a lot of evidence that they have done evil things," Jiang Qiancheng said with a faint expression: "I don't know if my father is interested in taking a look?" ”

The emperor frowned subtly: "Evidence? ”

"It's true evidence, not a forgery, and when my father saw it, he knew that what his son said was not a lie."

"Okay," the Emperor nodded, "Then let me see the evidence you have found!" ”

"Yes."

That night, Jiang Qiancheng secretly brought those evidences to the imperial study of the palace to meet the emperor, followed by Jiang Qianbai.

In front of the emperor were two boxes, one large and one small, the large box contained those witnesses, and the small box contained all kinds of physical evidence.

After the witnesses finished telling the emperor what they knew, the emperor's face became very ugly, and the emperor's hand trembling when he picked up the physical evidence in the other box.

The emperor's voice was also a little trilling: "I didn't expect that the prince actually killed his siblings in order to keep his position!" ”

Jiang Qiancheng said: "This kind of thing is the most common among the children of the royal family, and my father should know it." ”

Jiang Qianbai coughed, glared at Jiang Qiancheng, and hurriedly said, "Father, since the evidence is conclusive now, how do you deal with the crown prince and Prime Minister Liu?" ”
