Chapter 584: Confrontation (1)
As soon as Sheng Hong's words fell, the third prince took over: "What the seventh emperor brother said is." There are three pages of this secret letter, and the four emperor brothers only read the first page. Or read the rest together, and then complain to my father. ”
The second prince and the fifth prince frowned slightly.
Naturally, the two of them didn't know what was written in the secret letter. However, the situation is already very clear. The third prince and Sheng Hong have clearly joined forces secretly, and they want to take advantage of this matter to pit the four princes fiercely.
As a brother, what should I do at this time?
Do you need to hesitate to think about it? Of course, it was to step on it hard, so that the four princes couldn't turn over at all!
The second prince was suffering from a mouth disease, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he only said a few words: "Let's get up first!" ”
The fifth prince "empathetically" agreed: "Yes! Four Emperor Brothers! Father is generous and wise, and will never listen to and believe partially, let alone easily wronged you. You have not done anything wrong, and what is there to fear. ”
The Fourth Prince: "......"
What a bunch of "harmonious and fraternal" brothers!
The fourth prince was angry in his heart, and he had to squeeze out a look of emotion on his face: "Thank you for interceding for me." Then, he looked at Emperor Jianwen with a sincere face: "The son is reckless and reckless, please forgive your father!" ”
Emperor Jianwen's suspicions have risen, and it is no longer something that can be dispelled in a few words, and he said coldly when he heard this: "Several of them are interceding for you, you can get up for the time being." Read MeSign first. ”
The fourth prince whispered yes, stood up, and quickly flipped through the next two pages of the letter.
The more I watched, the more frightened I became.
This letter, at the beginning, stated what he had done in the military department. After that, there is the reason for the "sudden disappearance" of the three bow crossbows.
Every sentence points to Sheng Xuan!
Where did this letter come from?
Could it be that Director Ding secretly wrote it down for self-preservation?
No way! If Director Ding had really written this letter, he would have confessed under severe torture. In order to save his life, he will definitely say it. It is impossible to keep it hidden.
This letter is clearly forged.
It must be a forgery!
It's just that now how can he defend Sheng Xuan?
The four princes were in a state of mind and couldn't think of any good way for a while. I had to deliberately delay reading the letter, and my mind kept racing.
Emperor Jianwen's voice sounded lightly: "Come on, go and summon Sheng Xuan to come and confront him." ”
The four princes' hearts were shocked, but there was no reason to stop it.
Emperor Jianwen's gaze swept over the four princes with ugly faces, and then fell on the faces of the third princes: "That one is called Ding Chuang, how is his injury now?" Can they be brought into the palace together? ”
The third prince immediately replied: "Return to the words of the father." Ding Chuang was seriously injured, and Erchen had ordered the imperial doctor to treat him last night. Before Erchen went to court, he hadn't woken up, and what the situation was now, Erchen really didn't know. Erchen then sent someone back to the house to take a look, and as long as he had a breath and could still speak, he ordered someone to carry him into the palace. ”
Just a teenager is dead or alive, Emperor Jianwen didn't pay attention to it at all, and nodded slightly. Then, he commanded again: "Second prince, you go to the military prison and bring Director Ding with you." ”
The second prince, who was silent and silent, was quite calm and retreated.
……
The first to answer the call was Sheng Xuan.
Sheng Xuan's official position is low, and he has no qualifications for the court. The prince of Huainan also stayed in the Huainan palace on the grounds of serving illness. Therefore, the situation in the DPRK and China is changing today, and no one in the Huainan Royal Mansion knows about it.
When the palace attendants went to deliver the message, Sheng Xuan already felt bad.
It's noon, and Emperor Jianwen should be having lunch. Why can't you wait for a moment and summon him to the palace?
The matter of the bow and crossbow has been all pushed to Master Ding, and it has nothing to do with him...... No, he must discuss with his grandfather before entering the palace.
Sheng Xuan made a look, and the chamberlain beside him stepped forward and stuffed a purse into the palace chamberlain.
"Please wait a moment," Sheng Xuan said with a pleasant face: "I'll go change my clothes and enter the palace again." ”
The palace attendant refused to accept the purse, and said expressionlessly: "The emperor has an edict, please enter the palace with the miscellaneous family immediately, and there must be no delay for a moment." ”
Sheng Xuan had no choice but to enter the palace immediately.
In the past, when the king of Huainan was given the holy favor, Sheng Xuan had entered the palace with his grandfather several times, and he had also entered the Yiqing Palace. But today, the majestic and solemn Yiqing Hall is particularly solemn, revealing the chill of forcing ~ people ~ .
Emperor Jianwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair and wearing a dragon robe, had a gloomy and cold face.
Several princes stood on both sides, their expressions subtle, and they had no time to take a closer look at them one by one.
Sheng Xuan only had time to glance at the four princes with ugly expressions, his heart sank, and he stepped forward and saluted: "Weichen Sheng Xuan, I have seen the emperor." ”
Emperor Jianwen said lightly: "Seventh Prince, give Sheng Xuan the letter in your hand to take a look." ”
This secret letter, after the four princes read it, passed it to the other princes, and finally, it fell into the hands of the seventh prince, Sheng Hong.
As a bitter master who was "assassinated", Sheng Hong was naturally angry, glared at Sheng Xuan fiercely, and handed the letter over coldly.
Sheng Xuan felt more and more bad in his heart, and in front of everyone, he forced himself to be calm, and quickly opened the letter and read it.
Seeing the halfway point, Sheng Xuan's face changed and he knelt down: "Your Majesty, this letter is purely forged, not true at all." How dare Wei Chen make a move to assassinate His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince? ”
Sheng Hong sneered and interjected: "You and the Fourth Emperor Brother have the habit of reading only half of the letter. Even if you want to confess, you should be patient and read all the letters! Why be so alarmed! ”
Sheng Xuan: "......"
The Fourth Prince: "......"
Words are sharp as knives, but that's it!
When Emperor Jianwen heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly.
The Four Princes and the Huainan Royal Mansion have been moving closely. This shengxuan, on weekdays, is everywhere with the four princes and horses. If this matter is really Sheng Xuan's doing, the four princes obviously can't escape the involvement......
"Whether this is true or not, we will soon find out." Emperor Jianwen's face was cold, and his voice was full of coldness: "Sheng Xuan, since you have a clear conscience, you will confront the father and son of Director Ding." ”
Hearing this, Sheng Xuan's complexion changed slightly.
He is still young, and he has not yet cultivated to the realm of Mount Tai and is not moved. At this time, under the great shock of his heart, he showed his tracks.
The four princes were anxious and angry.
This Sheng Xuan, at such a time, how can he show a weak heart? The so-called evidence is only this letter. No matter what, it's just to resist death. Even if Director Ding's father and son have been carried, what can they do?
It's just that in front of Emperor Jianwen, he couldn't say anything, and he didn't even dare to make a look. The four princes could only secretly feel aggrieved in their hearts.
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Sheng Xuan is not surprising.
The four princes are princes in the end, and no matter what big mistakes they make, they don't have to worry about their lives. Sheng Xuan doesn't have such confidence.
