Chapter 828: Confrontation (6)
King Rui regretted it at this time, and was extremely annoyed.
He originally wanted to use Song Zhiyuan to control the Song family, so that he could completely hold Song Xuanrong in his hands.
But he never thought that one day he would carry a stone and hit himself in the foot, making this woman an ironclad proof of his collusion with the Song family.
Cai actually saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be based on the words of one person alone, not to mention that even if King Rui has something to do with this woman, it does not mean that the matter of the Ordnance Supervisor is his doing." ”
Emperor Ming Qi sat on the dragon chair and asked the person in charge of the ordnance supervisor kneeling below: "Gong Can, you are the chief of the ordnance superintendent, and the entire ordnance superintendent is under your control, you say, who did you hand over the eagle crossbow to?" ”
Gong Can knelt down and looked at Emperor Ming Qi, who was high above, and when he touched his cold and dark eyes, he was silent for a long time before he whispered: "The minister gave it to King Rui." ”
King Rui said angrily: "Gong Can, when did you give this king the eagle crossbow!" ”
Gong Can said in a low voice with a sad face: "Lord Wang, the minister knows that you are unwilling, but the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and it is useless to quibble." ”
He didn't wait for King Rui to speak, he raised his head and said to Emperor Ming Qi, "Your Majesty, it was the minister who didn't resist the temptation for a while to do something wrong. ”
"It was the minister who helped King Rui buy some of the retired generals from the south to pretend to be private soldiers, and it was also the minister who handed over the eagle crossbow to them, so that they could help King Rui act, King Rui and Song Xuanrong originally promised Weichen that if they got the Tianjie Commercial Bank after the matter was completed, they would give the minister 200,000 taels of silver."
"The minister didn't resist the temptation of huge profits, so he sat down for such a betrayal of the lord."
"These are all done by the minister, it is the minister's greed who disregards His Majesty's trust, and the minister is willing to atone for his sins with death, just hoping that His Majesty can bypass the minister's family."
After Gong Can finished speaking in a low voice, he slammed his head to the ground twice, just when everyone thought that his sentence of atonement for death was to ask Emperor Ming Qi for mercy, he suddenly got up and rushed forward, and in everyone's exclamations, he hit the steps in front of the hall with a "bang".
Blood flowed sideways, Gong Can almost used all his strength, his forehead hit the depression, and it was faintly visible that yellow and white things flowed out of the blood.
The stomachs of the courtiers standing at the front tumbled, and when they retreated with white faces, they were almost frightened by this scene and vomited.
King Rui watched Gong Can crash to death in the hall, and the only glimmer of hope left was gone, and he knelt there with a pale face.
He's done.
Cai Jing and the others were also cold, and the faces of the prince and the king of Yu were constantly changing.
Everybody knows.
Regardless of whether the matter was done by King Rui, Gong Can's death, coupled with Song Xuanrong's testimony, and Song Zhiyuan's words, King Rui had no power to turn over.
Emperor Ming Qi lowered his eyes and looked at King Rui: "What else do you have to explain." ”
King Rui looked at his father with an indifferent face, and his mouth was bitter.
He never thought that he was not defeated by King Yu, the crown prince, or anyone in the court, but he was defeated by King Ying, who he had always looked down on, and he was defeated by his father's favor.
If his father cares about him, even if Gong Can dies in front of the palace, he is not without suspicion, and he may not be able to return his innocence.
But my father didn't care.
The indifference in his eyes only wanted to understand the case as soon as possible, and he had even been convicted.
King Rui's lips squirmed, and he said after a while: "Is my father willing to listen to my explanation?" ”。
Emperor Ming Qi said coldly: "There are all the human and material evidence, what else do you want to explain?" ”
