Chapter 429: Who's Wronged
Emperor Shangzong's eyes narrowed. "What, the boss still wronged you?"
Su Yuchen's eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at Emperor Shangzong with some puzzlement. "The emperor is clear, Weichen knows that it is Weichen's fault to let Hu Ruijun escape, how could the emperor wronged Weichen, after Hu Ruijun was rescued, Weichen went to investigate in person, and only returned to Bianjing half an hour ago and came to ask the emperor for guilt."
"Su Yuchen, at this time, you still have to pretend to be stupid with me! You collaborated with the enemy and treason, and you didn't quickly confess your guilt and invite the truth! ”
Su Yuchen pursed his lips and frowned. "Weichen really doesn't know who slandered Weichen so much, and asked the emperor to investigate."
"The letter is clearly written in black and white, and you still have the face to say that someone slandered you!?"
"Your Majesty, if this letter is evidence that someone collaborates with the enemy and treason, it should also be the great prince, not a micro-minister."
"Su Yuchen, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you slander this temple! Baili Cheng didn't know when he entered the palace, and when he strode into the main hall, he heard Su Yuchen's words, and he immediately exploded.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Su Yuchen sent the letter back to Emperor Shangzong.
Emperor Shangzong took the letter suspiciously and unfolded it, and a pair of eyeballs almost came out of their sockets.
"This ......"
Baili Cheng saw that Emperor Shangzong's expression was wrong, and he didn't care about the others, and walked directly to Emperor Shangzong to look.
At this look, he jumped straight up! "Good for you Su Yuchen! Dare to make a ghost bite in front of his father! Father, you really read this letter when it was handed over to you, and you didn't know why the content of the letter changed suddenly! Please also ask the emperor to take a look! Baili Cheng knelt down in front of Emperor Shangzong.
What the hell, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, the content of that letter would have turned out to be that he colluded with the enemy country with the intention of treason!
How is this possible!
Emperor Shangzong held the letter, his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Baili Cheng was right, when the letter was handed over to him, the content on it was obviously how Su Yuchen colluded with the Rong clan who had been repelled by him, but it was only a few hours, and the content of the letter had changed.
It's not completely changed, but the evidence that originally pointed to Su Yuchen's treason has all become Baili Cheng.
After the letter was handed over to him, he kept it on the desk in the dormitory, and no one touched it during the period, until the Praetorian Guard came to deliver a message that Su Yuchen had entered the palace, and he let people take the letter to the main hall.
The person who took the letter was Wen Dahai, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk from his dormitory to the main hall, which was enough to write a letter completely.
But the problem is that Wen Dahai has been with him since the moment he took the letter, and he didn't have the time to steal the beams and change the pillars!
What's wrong with this!?
"It is a big crime for the emperor to collude with foreign enemies to commit treason, and Weichen implores the emperor to investigate it strictly to the end."
Emperor Shangzong held the letter in his hand, and his eyes fell on Su Yuchen, he only returned to Bianjing half an hour ago, whether he was lying or not, he only needed to find the Praetorian Guards guarding the city and ask, if Su Yuchen did not lie, then from Baili Cheng into the Zhan Wang's Mansion, and then he found the letter in Su Yuchen's study, Su Yuchen was unaware during this period, and it was impossible to prepare such a letter in his study in advance for Baili Cheng to search out.
Baili accepted his order to take Hu Ruijun to the criminal department for interrogation, and as usual, the study would never be a place to hold prisoners.
Although Emperor Shangzong has been obsessed with studying locks for many years, he has been an emperor for many years, and he can't be a fool, not because he has complete trust in Su Yuchen, but because this matter itself can't withstand deep pushing.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shangzong's gaze turned to Baili Cheng again, and his expression gradually changed.
The dawn broke and dawned, and the ministers who came to the early court had gradually gathered outside the hall.
It happened suddenly, and many ministers who were not sensitive enough looked at the closed door of the temple and didn't know what was going on.
"It's this time today, why hasn't the hall opened yet?"
"I don't know, I heard that the emperor seems to be in the palace."
"What? The emperor is in the main hall? "This is really rare, in the past few years, when has it not been that these ministers have waited in the hall and waited for the emperor to be late, where is the wind blowing today, and it actually arrived in advance!?
"You didn't hear about last night?" An official who knew a little bit of the inside story came to his small team and whispered.
"I heard that last night the eldest prince took soldiers and horses to the Zhan Wang's Mansion and said that he was going to take the prisoner to the criminal department for interrogation, but the people from the Zhan Wang's Mansion stopped him, and the eldest prince broke in, and he also found something terrible in the Zhan Wang's Mansion!"
"What's that?"
The official looked left and right, and then whispered: "I heard that it is evidence that the king of Zhan collaborated with the enemy and treason!" ”
"What!?"
Hearing this, many ministers were shocked, King Zhan collaborated with the enemy and treason?!
"Bang Dang"
When everyone was speculating about what was going on, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and the ministers looked up, and sure enough, they saw Emperor Shangzong sitting on the dragon chair, and there were two people kneeling in the hall, who else was not the king of Zhan and the eldest prince!
Looks like something really happened!
The ministers walked into the main hall one after another.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Shangzong was completely different from the laziness and impatience of the past at this time, he had a straight face, his eyes swept around everyone, and his whole body exuded the majesty of the superior.
"Zhongqing is flat."
"Your Majesty."
"Yesterday, when the secretaries were asleep, something happened that required the secretaries to share their worries." Emperor Shangzong opened his mouth faintly.
"It is the responsibility of the ministers to share the worries of the emperor."
Emperor Shangzong pushed the letter on the dragon case forward. "Last night, the boss found a letter from Su Yuchen in the study of King Zhan's mansion about collaborating with the enemy and treason."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, but they didn't dare to show too much on their faces, after all, Emperor Shangzong hadn't finished speaking.
"After the boss got the letter, he went directly into the palace and handed the letter into my hands, I also read it at the time, and the content of the letter did indicate that Su Yuchen collaborated with the enemy and treason, but ......"
However, Emperor Shangzong stretched it very long and raised the hearts of the ministers.
"But just two quarters of an hour ago, when I read the letter again, the contents of the letter changed!"
"The content of the letter has changed?" Some ministers spoke out in confusion. "Your Majesty, didn't you believe that someone had dropped your bag?" These words pointed directly at Su Yuchen, after all, the content of the letter is related to him.
"This letter has never left my sight since it reached my hand."
"Your Majesty, I wonder what has become of the content of the letter now?" Some ministers were curious.
Emperor Shangzong squinted, his eyes like a layer of fog. "It has become evidence of the great prince's treason!"
"What?"
As soon as Emperor Shangzong's voice fell, everyone was shocked.
"The emperor said that the content of the letter indicated that it was originally the king of Zhan who collaborated with the enemy and treason, but now it has become the great prince who collaborated with the enemy and treason?!" Some ministers thought they had misheard.
"That's right!"
"This, how is this possible...... "If the letter has always been in the hands of Emperor Shangzong, how can the content change?!
"Wen Dahai, show them the letter."
"Yes."
Wen Dahai held the letter and handed it to the ministers below.
The ministers took the letter and read it carefully, it was talking to the Rong clan in the tone of the eldest prince, the handwriting was not that of the eldest prince, but the seal of the eldest prince was indeed stamped at the end of the letter!
This seal represents a person's identity more than handwriting, after all, handwriting can be imitated, but only the person concerned knows where this seal is!
"Your Majesty, there is something strange about this, it is clear that the content of the letter is that the King of Zhan collaborated with the enemy and treason, how did he suddenly become the eldest prince, the minister thinks that this is clearly someone is deliberately framing the eldest prince, and please ask the emperor to investigate and return the eldest prince's innocence." This clearly means that Su Yuchen is framing Baili Cheng.
"From the discovery of this letter to the present, King Zhan has never touched it, if you want to talk about framing, I think it is clear that someone wants to frame King Zhan!"
"The emperor said it clearly just now, when I first read the letter, it was written that King Zhan collaborated with the enemy and treason, Lord Zhang said this, do you not believe that the emperor will not succeed?"
"Now that the letter is written in black and white, isn't it clear who is wronged?"
The ministers of the two sides quarreled, the hall was noisy, and Emperor Shangzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stood up with a "ho" on his forehead, with an angry face.
"Shut up!"
Seeing that Emperor Shangzong was angry, the ministers who were fighting for red faces obediently closed their mouths.
Emperor Shangzong shook his sleeves and paced back and forth on the main hall twice. "Search the mansion, send someone to search the mansion for me!" Since it's a dead knot, you can only find a way to open a joint from another place!
"Immediately send two teams of people to the Great Prince and the Zhan Wang's Mansion to search me, and I will search carefully from top to bottom, inside and out!"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard led the order and led people to search the mansion.
The hall was silent for a while, and the ministers stood in the hall and waited with bated breath.
King Zhan and the Great Prince, no matter who they are, but if one of them goes wrong, it will be a variable for the Great Xia court.
If you want to say that the most upset person in the hall, only Baili Cheng.
He knew better than anyone where the letter came from, but he couldn't understand why the contents of the letter had become a testimony against him.
He raised his eyes to look at Su Yuchen, who was kneeling quietly opposite, and his palms were gradually wet with cold sweat.
Collaborating with the enemy and treason, no matter who it is, is a big crime to be killed, so the ministers who originally wanted to play during the whole waiting process have settled down, and no one wants to be cannon fodder at this time.
I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that some of the ministers' legs were a little numb, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard finally returned.
"Your Majesty."
Everyone in the hall turned their eyes on the Praetorian Guard.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard did not disappoint, holding a small box in his hand and presenting it to the emperor.
Wen Dahai walked over and took the box and opened it to see that there were several letters inside.
Emperor Shangzong took the letter and opened it one by one, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and finally he directly threw the letter and the box down to Baili Cheng.
"You rebel!"
