Chapter 98: Punished

It's just that after Ouyang Yu stood up, there were still no other people who came out to testify.

The king's eyes were as cold as ice, and he questioned in a low voice: "You were still young back then, I'm afraid you remembered it wrong." ”

"Erchen remembers it clearly!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, "This is the true handiwork of Lord He!" ”

Chen Ling glanced at the little prince standing at the back, and made a hard look.

The little prince immediately opened his mind, and he was not afraid of death and ran forward to the royal table, looked through Lord He's account book, and knelt down beside Ouyang Yu, and said immaturely: "Erchen can also see that the handwriting on that piece of paper is exactly the same as the handwriting on that Lord He's account book, it must be Lord He's authentic handwriting!" ”

Chen Zhurong thought about it, and Chen Zhurong also had to stand up: "Father, the sons and daughters vaguely remember that the true deeds of the adults are not far from them. ”

As soon as the eighth prince stood up, many of the new ministers who followed his camp also stood up one after another, and said in unison: "I ask the king to let the ministers compare Lord He's account books with his own guilt." ”

The corners of Chen Ling's mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled gratefully at Chen Zhurong, and then glanced at Chen Zhuyuan coldly, just in front of his eyes.

She immediately looked at the king, not wanting to deal with the prince. And the king also noticed her eyes, and looked at her darkly, with murderous aura all over his body.

It was not strange for Ouyang to stand up, but Chen Zhurong stood up......

Gritting his teeth, Chen Zhuyuan also stood on the side, knelt down and said: "Erchen thinks about it, the handwriting on the guilty statement is indeed the true handwriting of Lord He!" ”

The princes and new courtiers who followed him also knelt down.

Only a few powerful old ministers and those generals were left.

Wang Shang was so angry that he took two steps back, and his hands trembled and pointed to the kneeling crowd: "Good! Good! Good! …… It is rumored that the case of the Liu family was indeed a misjudgment, and Liu Xiangping's charges were removed, and all the sentences of the year were lifted, and the land was 100 acres, and 10,000 taels of gold were used as compensation! ”

Chen Ling also knelt on the ground and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Retreat!" The king roared viciously, and strode to the back of the hall.

The rest of the people exited the court in order.

As soon as he left the palace, a palace man suddenly appeared and summoned Chen Ling and Ouyang Yu back, and went to the imperial study to take a look, the prince. The eighth and fourteenth princes were already on their knees.

Ouyang Yu also knelt beside them, bowed his head and said: "Father is angry, it was I who brought the holy daughter into the palace to cause a big incident, please punish my father!" ”

Chen Ling took a step forward: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and today's affairs have nothing to do with them!" ”

Wang Shang snorted coldly: "Sure enough, there is a bit of a saint's style, no wonder a few of them can compete to intercede for you." Don't forget, I'm the king today! ”

Today's events not only saw how bold Chen Ling was, but also made him see the current distribution of power between the government and the opposition! If it continues like this, the battle for power is about to break out!

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhurong immediately said: "My father is angry, and my son is just telling the truth, although I was not big back then, I still have some impressions. ”

Chen Zhuyuan also bowed his head and said: "Erchen remembers it very clearly, that is the true work of Lord He." It's just that I don't know why the eighth brother can bring the things he vaguely remembers to the court, and so many people are sure. ”

There were fifteen people who knelt down with him, and those who were good were all new stars, pillars of the court, although they had only been in politics for a few years, they had already made great achievements.

He has also been wooing them, but he never thought that they had already joined Chen Zhurong's camp!

Chen Ling didn't expect that his play would have this effect, and he was surprised and glanced at Ouyang Yu, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Killing two birds with one stone is good, but these are not what the king expects. She must have suffered great wrath.

"Say no more!" The king glanced at the two princes who were about to quarrel, glanced at Ouyang Yu, who was silent on the side, and then glanced at Chen Ling, who looked surprised, flicked his sleeves and squinted his eyes and said, "The king put the saint into the palace without permission, and went to the prison to stay!" Yu Lingling, don't think that if you are a saint, I can't help you, you have also been in prison! You've all been to prison! ”

In this way, all five were sent to the dungeon where the princes had stayed. It's just that the criminal law of the five people has its own severity, and the lightest is naturally the little prince, followed by the crown prince, and then the eighth prince.

Although Chen Ling was not allowed to do anything, he also gave her a heavy punishment - after thinking about it for half a month, she could not be fed until she was about to die!

And Ouyang Yu suffered a hell-level punishment. It's just that he seems to have long been used to it, and easily walked into the innermost cell.

It's just that no one has said it, and Chen Ling doesn't know, so he was brought into a well-equipped house with water, the only one with no food, only a high skylight.

Chen Ling lay on the bed covered with weeds, raised his legs, looked at the skylight dozens of feet away from him, and muttered softly: "It's strange that such a high window can climb out." ”

At this moment, she looked sideways and saw that the wall next to the bed was a little rough, and it looked like it could be used for tiptoeing. She got out of bed and looked at the other three walls, all of which were rough!

Her eyes lit up, she held her breath and used her strength, clicked on the ground and flew to one wall, and then ran to the other side, and after ten feet in this way, she tiptoed to the other wall, and suddenly her feet slipped, and the whole person's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

When his butt hit the ground, Chen Ling couldn't help but exclaim in pain: "Ouch! ”

Then she got up, rubbed her deformed muscles, and looked at the soles of her feet, which were stained with oil. She stomped her foot hard, wiped the weeds again, and lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

When I woke up, it was already dawn.

With nothing to do, Chen Ling took out a piece of grass and dipped it in water and began to write, and at night he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. Chen Ling drank several more sips of water and continued to lie back on the bed.

But this time, I couldn't sleep. No, she hadn't eaten anything since she had eaten yesterday morning.

"Hey! Someone! I'm so hungry I can't stand it! After shouting for a long time, Chen Ling lost his strength and collapsed on the bed looking at the moonlight.

Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Ling was hungry, dark circles under her eyes covered her momentum, and her upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, but her stomach rang and she suddenly shook and couldn't sleep.

"No matter!" Chen Ling turned around, curled up on the bed, closed his eyes and hypnotized himself vigorously, and finally fell asleep, but was woken up hungry again in less than two hours.

She won't just starve to death! Such a doubt in Chen Ling's heart came into his mind, and he immediately dispelled this idea. No, no, the king still wants to use her status as a saint to stabilize the people!

At this moment, she thought of Ouyang Yu again. He is not loved by the king, and he is also feared by the king, this time he has a handle, and the king must not put him to death! The thought of this made her heart flutter, and she even regretted her actions for a moment. If she hadn't insisted on going her own way, he wouldn't have been dragged by her.
