Chapter 157: Are You a Pig?
The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter of my princess can be tilted!
Li Yuan walked out of the palace with the front foot, and the news of Shen Qingru's pregnancy spread on the back foot.
How many pairs of eyes are staring, and a little wind and grass can arouse the alarm of outsiders. What's more, it is such a major event as the pregnancy of the princess.
After the Queen Mother found out, she sent a lot of silk and satin and medicinal supplements.
This move has caused many people to think deeply.
Tomorrow is a critical moment of life and death for the palace, and the queen mother is sending so many rewards at this time, is it in the heart of the palace?
Sleepless nights.
On the morning of the second day, seventy percent of the ministers wore two dark circles under their eyes.
How to stand in line is a matter of life and death and future.
Those who have already stood in line are even more apprehensive.
The palace seems to be dead, but the reputation it has accumulated over the decades is still there.
If the prince cannot be brought down this time, then those who have taken refuge in Chen Guogong's party and spoken for him will inevitably be attacked and retaliated against by Prince Xiao's mansion.
Even if the prince and the old prince are not such people, no one is willing to put their lives on the thoughts of others.
It was only then that many ministers realized that they had no way out.
Unknowingly, he was pushed onto the single-plank bridge that struggled with the palace by Chen Guogong. And the narrow bridge can only accommodate one.
On an August morning, the sky had just broken and the white of the fish's belly was revealed. The morning sun rises, and the light and shadow are slanted. The capital shrouded in it is like an ink painting, which is natural and magnificent.
In the main hall, the officials seemed to have made an appointment, and all of them tacitly went to court half an hour in advance.
The depressing silence spread, and some people wanted to come earlier to find out more news, and in this atmosphere, they all lowered their heads one by one. Don't dare to say more.
At the end of the day, the majestic and solemn emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe stepped onto the dragon chair step by step with steady steps.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Prince Xiao, Prince Xiao's son, the old prince, and the Marquis of Ningyuan have been in the foreign marquis for a long time. ”
The emperor swept over the silent ministers in the main hall, and finally landed on Chen Guogong, who lowered his head, his eyes deepened, "Xuan come in." ”
A moment later, the four men came in one after another. The old prince stood on one side, and the other three stood on the side.
The gaze looked at it from all directions and from all angles.
Needless to say, the old prince was just grounded in the palace. His face looked a little better than before.
When they were in prison, the emperor said that they would assist in the investigation, and they did not change their prison uniforms.
In the past month, with Prime Minister Lan Cheng, no one beat or scolded, the jailers spoke carefully, and they all used to invite when they spoke. The food is four dishes and one soup, which is better than that of the jailer. The cell was not luxurious, but it was clean and clean.
Except that Hou Ye may not be comfortable for a while, his expression is a little haggard. The prince and the prince are in good spirits.
Both of them are heavenly figures, slender and magnificent. With his back to the entrance of the main hall, he stood tall and jade, and the rising morning light sprinkled behind him, casting a halo of halo on it. The clothes are windless and automatic, revealing the innate nobility. The same expression with a slightly slanted domineering attitude makes people feel unattainable.
Looking at the two of them faintly fat chins, the emperor had a black line.
Why do you think that the life in the cell seems to be better than that of him, the emperor?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't say a word to the two faces in front of me.
The officials looked at each other, this development always felt wrong!
Even if one of these people has the consciousness and appearance of being a prisoner, it would be fine.
Chen Guogong's face sank, and he squinted and said, "It seems that a few of them are living well in the prison." ”
Xiao Yuan's face was expressionless, the prince was out of the world, and the old prince was deaf.
Hou Ye...... Hou Ye consciously answered, "It's okay, Grandpa Guo likes it, you can also try it." ”
The corners of Ji Ruchuan's mouth twitched in the crowd, and he glanced at Hou Ye, why didn't he find out before that Hou Ye Ning Yuan was such an interesting person?
Chen Guogong was holding the ticket to victory, not only did he not care, but he replied in a good mood: "Master Hou likes it, I won't win people's love." ”
Turning his head to the prince, he said, "A month has passed, can the prince find evidence to prove his innocence?" ”
Li Shilang, who had been beaten fifty boards and had just raised his butt for a few days, said: "Today is the last day, if the prince still can't come up with evidence." The charge of collaborating with the enemy was confirmed. ”
Li Shilang followed Chen Guogong a long time ago, and was punished by the emperor last time, losing Chen Guogong's face, and now he desperately wants to brush up his good impression in front of Chen Guogong. Seeing that the prince ignored him, he asked Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Lord Wang, did you make any progress yesterday?" ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department shook his head at Chen Guogong's gaze, "There is no progress." ”
For a while, the ministers whispered.
Chen Guogong had a faint smile on his face, and the generals who supported the palace shouted in dissatisfaction.
Chen Guogong raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the prince's collaboration with the enemy and treason has been confirmed to be true, and I also ask the emperor to order the arrest of other people in the palace." ”
Li Shilang also said on behalf of the Duke of Guo and others: "Please make an order from the emperor!" ”
Gu Xiao hid in the crowd, and when he saw the four princes who were always calm, there was always a lingering sense of uneasiness in his heart, but at this time, he did not petition with Chen Guogong. Instead, he shrank in the middle of a neutral minister, bowing his head and lowering his presence.
After waiting for a while, the emperor did not speak. Chen Guocheng was strange, he couldn't help but look up, and when he saw the emperor looking at him with murderous intent, his heart was terrified, and he didn't think much about it, so he heard the prince chuckle and said: "Who said that the palace collaborated with the enemy and treason, what about the evidence?" ”
Dai Guogong jumped to his feet, "What do you mean, what do you mean, you can't do it?" There are all human and material evidence, what is the use of not admitting it? ”
Xiao Yuan said leisurely: "Physical evidence, what physical evidence?" The secret letter? Is it really my royal seal? Have you taken a closer look? ”
Dai Guogong frowned, "That day, all the civil and military officials saw it." ”
The prince said "heh", looked at the emperor, and the emperor said, "Present the secret letter." ”
In order to avoid suspicion, the evidence documents that should have been relevant at the beginning were jointly kept by Prime Minister Lan Cheng, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Dali Siqing.
At this time, it had been brought to the palace, and as soon as the emperor spoke, the guards came over with plates.
The person holding the plate is the person who is the secretary of the criminal department, and the people around him are Prime Minister Lan Cheng and Dali Siqing.
Sensing the gaze of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the guard holding the plate looked back, his eyes full of fear. Shangshu of the Criminal Department was startled, and when he looked closely, the guards' hands and feet were trembling.
The guard was his confidant, and he was afraid of someone doing anything, and he kept looking at the secret letter inseparably. Unexpectedly panicked like this, Shangshu of the Criminal Department thought with his toes, knowing that there was something wrong with the letter. The scalp was numb, and a heart was like falling into an ice cave.
He was still shocked and uncertain, the secret letter had been presented to the emperor. The emperor didn't take it, just stretched out his head to look at it, and then the expression on his face was wonderful.
"Your Majesty?" Chen Guogong also noticed that something was wrong.
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, "Show it to Chen Guogong." ”
The guard held the plate with a dead face and handed it to Chen Guogong, Chen Guogong couldn't wait to step forward, saw the words on it clearly, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted, "This is impossible!" ”
The sudden exclamation startled everyone. The nearest Duke of Dai Guo and Prime Minister Lan also stretched out their heads curiously to take a look.
Then, the corners of Prime Minister Lan's mouth began to twitch as well.
The place where the palace seal was originally stamped is gone. Only four neat big characters remain: Are you a pig?
Prime Minister Lan said weakly: "Send it to all the ministers to see." ”
After a circle, a burst of exclamations sounded. The whole court was in chaos.
The emperor held his forehead and looked at the prince, who was still dignified and serious. It was Xiao Yuan on the side, who took advantage of everyone's inattention, and winked at the emperor twice.
With this action and those four big characters, the emperor immediately knew who was pretending to be Xiao Yuan below - except for Xiao Ran, there was no one else.
With this goods here, the emperor will sympathize with Chen Guogong for a while.
Xiao Ran saw from the emperor's eyes that he was unhappy and unhappy.
He wanted to pretend to be the prince yesterday, so that he could call the eldest brother "son". Well, he doesn't dare to "son", "Yuan'er" is okay, or two sentences can solve the craving.
It's a pity that the old prince didn't allow it, so he had to retreat and pretend to be the eldest brother.
His body is about the same as his eldest brother, but he is a little shorter. I'm afraid that people will find out that there are several cushions stuffed in the shoes, which is uncomfortable at this time, and I will be disliked.
Xiao Ran was aggrieved.
looked at the old prince, but was glared at by the old prince. Only then did he return to his expressionless face. I can't help but complain about my eldest brother, just this expression all day long, isn't my face tired? The corners of his eyes twitched with exhaustion.
The old prince over there rubbed his head, and Yuan'er's face made an aggrieved look...... It's too blind.
Chen Guogong slowed down for a long time before he recovered, and said angrily with red eyes: "What the hell is going on!" How can a good seal be news? Did you do it?! ”
Prime Minister Lan had a frank face and was not affected at all, "The secret letter has been handed over to Weichen since the emperor, and Weichen has not touched it, and it has been placed in the Criminal Department, and it is guarded by Weichen, Lord Wang, and Lord He. Today, it was also taken out by Lord Wang on the spot. ”
Dali Siqing said: "Weichen can testify that what Lord Lan said is not a lie. ”
Chen Guogong glared at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department fiercely, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department had a weak leg, and fell to the ground with a puff, and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, Weichen can swear that no one has ever touched this secret letter." Chen Guogong, you have to believe me. ”
Shang Shu's heart in the Criminal Department has long been messed up. Ever since I took it back, it has been placed in a transparent box and guarded by a special person. Afraid of the king's deception, he would go to see it every day. Yesterday was fine, today it will be ......
Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't dare to think about it.
The emperor on the dragon chair squinted his eyes and sneered in his heart. The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is Chen Guogong's person, and he has known it for a long time. This confession of mistake is not so much to explain to him, but rather to be afraid that Chen Guogong will blame. In front of him, dare to rank him behind Chen Guogong, and still treat him as the emperor?
Chen Guogong's face was gloomy. He believed the words of the criminal department. They are all grasshoppers on a rope, and if they dare to betray him at this time, they will not end well.
