Everyone in the hall was in a state of confusion, and the loyal old minister was full of disappointment and indignation when he looked at Emperor Tianqing.

If it is said that the king of Xiling forced the palace to rebel and punish the nine clans, but since Emperor Tianqing had already expected to set up a bureau to take down the king of Xiling, he should have taken the opportunity to take back the military power of Shuozhou to control the Yuan family, and he should not have directly asked for the life of the king of Xiling.

But he insisted on killing people on the spot, was it for the so-called old friendship to stand up for Princess Yongzhao, who had already died in vain, or because King Xiling said that he was in pain, afraid that he would reveal more?

There are a few people who can be in the highest position as officials in the court, and who can not understand the deep meaning of what Emperor Tianqing does represents.

The crown prince stepped forward suddenly: "Father, King Xiling can't be killed!" ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at him coldly: "Do you want to rebel against me? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

The crown prince faced Emperor Tianqing's angry eyes and retreated half a step and knelt on the ground and said, "King Xiling's rebellion deserves death, but the border of Shuozhou is very safe, and he and Xu Lizhen are related to the death of Aunt Yongzhao back then, and the father should save his life for people to find out the ins and outs, instead of killing the two of them." ”

Emperor Tianqing had a complicated mood about the crown prince, he thought that the prince was also involved in tonight's incident, but he did not hesitate to block in front of him at the time of the crisis, which was enough to see that he did not know.

The crown prince is the most outstanding of all his sons, gentle and upright by nature, and his talent and virtue are even more outstanding, even Emperor Tianqing can't say a bad word, but he is only annoyed that the prince is close to Yongzhao, and he doesn't like him to still think about the old people and old things after many years.

Emperor Tianqing's face was gloomy: "I said that those who plot rebellion deserve death, and whoever intercedes for King Xiling is guilty of the same crime!" ”

"Erchen is not interceding for King Xiling, he and Xu Lizhen are innocent of death, but if the father and emperor kill them, it is difficult to guarantee that the Yuan family will not jump over the wall in a hurry."

The crown prince looked up at Emperor Tianqing and straightened his back, "Nanyue has always been eyeing the great cause, and has not broken the intention of committing crimes for many years. ”

"Besides, Aunt Yongzhao's accident was too sudden, she has been in the court for many years, she should never be so easily framed, but she can be involved in the bloodbath of the princess's mansion and then colluding with the enemy country to conspire against the law, how can the two of them be able to do all kinds of crimes?"

"There must be others involved in the matter back then, and it is difficult for Xu Lizhen alone to collude with the King of Xiling in Shuozhou, since my father cares that my aunt is willing to show Xue for her, he should strictly interrogate the two of them to find out all the people involved in the case, and return Aunt Yongzhao an innocent ......."

"Shut up!"

Emperor Tianqing shouted.

The prince still continued: "Erchen has no intention of offending his father, but the world is difficult to block, if the father kills the king of Xiling because of a moment of anger, not only will it be difficult to ensure the peace of Shuo Yongguan, but the world will think that what he and Xu Lizhen said is true, and the father will not tolerate them because of his weak heart, and it is to kill people and annihilate the truth......"

"Presumptuous!!"

Emperor Tianqing saw that the prince didn't know what to do, so he suddenly raised his foot and kicked him.

The prince was already kneeling on the edge of the golden platform, but he was kicked backwards and fell directly from the golden platform.

"Prince!"

"Your Highness!"

The hall was in chaos in an instant, Shen Zhongkang suddenly stepped forward half a step, and even Xue Nuo couldn't help but look towards the prince, and saw that the figure lying on the ground looked up and saw blood on the edge of the golden platform because of the eyebrow bone.

Emperor Tianqing scolded coldly with a fierce face: "I have already said that Yuan Wangshan's ambition to force the palace to rebel against the wolf son cannot be kept, you have repeatedly interceded for him without saying anything, and you dare to disobey me with such words, could it be that you also want to be the chaotic minister and thief like him?" Or are you tired of being a prince?! ”

When the prince knelt on the ground, his lips were slightly pale, and the blood on his eyebrows made his previously gentle face a little darker.

He quietly looked at Emperor Tianqing, who was embarrassed and angry on the high platform, and only spoke out after a moment:

"Father, you don't dare to keep King Xiling, is it because he deserves to die because of his wolf ambition, or because he said about Aunt Yongzhao, you are afraid that leaving him alive will involve the truth of the past, so you would rather risk the chaos in the south to kill him?"

"Ying Yuanyu!"

Emperor Tianqing's eyes were stained with murderous intent, "You really dare not abolish you?!" ”

The prince's heart was cold, how could he not know the truth about the anger that Emperor Tianqing wanted to cover, and the only remaining illusion of Emperor Tianqing was also dispersed.

Seeing that the prince looked at him expressionlessly, as if he insisted on retrying Yongzhao's old case when Yongzhao had an accident and did not hesitate to disobey him, Emperor Tianqing was cold-hearted:

"The prince is talking nonsense and is hysterical, and he is unworthy of the position of the prince, so I will take him down!"

Jin Linwei on both sides stepped forward, and Shen Zhongkang quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty ......"

"What, even you want to rebel?!"

How serious these crimes are.

Shen Zhongkang said respectfully: "The old minister doesn't dare. The old minister just felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not mean to offend, and he wanted to stay in Xiling for the sake of the overall situation, and he also did not want His Majesty's prestige to be dusted. ”

He was far more aware of Emperor Tianqing's stubbornness than the crown prince, and he had already noticed that something was wrong with tonight's events, he did not persuade Emperor Tianqing, but said in a deep voice,

"King Xiling conspired against the nine clans, but His Majesty killed this thief for Princess Yongzhao, and he should always ask the people in Princess Yongzhao's mansion. The opening is. ”

He looked at Xerno,

"Win Gongzi, if you want to avenge your mother, you should always say something."

Emperor Tianqing's eyes were cold.

Xue Nuo looked at Shen Zhongkang with a forced look, standing in the hall as if watching a big show, and seeing Emperor Tianqing showing a hidden killing intent when he lowered his eyes, she said slowly:

"My mother has never intended to rebel, and Yongzhao Mansion has never done anything to be sorry for Your Majesty, many years have passed since the events of that year, and there is no evidence for what King Xiling and His Majesty said."

"I only want to ask Your Majesty, do you know what happened back then? Did my mother do you harm? ”

Emperor Tianqing looked at the young man Qingling and said in a deep voice: "I have said that I have never meant to harm your mother. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"Then Your Majesty dares to swear by the Winner Ancestor!"

Emperor Tianqing's face changed slightly, and he heard the young man look up and say coldly, "My mother and Your Majesty are close relatives, and she has never been selfish to Your Majesty. ”

"When the first emperor first went to His Majesty to ascend the throne, the court was unstable, and she was entrusted by the first emperor and had a deep relationship with His Majesty's brothers and sisters, so she was willing to turn into a sword in the hands of His Majesty to assist the throne for His Majesty."

"My mother has never been greedy for power, when the court is clear, she intends to hand over the military power and withdraw from the capital to Shuozhou to guard the border for Your Majesty, Your Majesty should also know that she has no reason to harm my mother."

"On the contrary, Xu Lizhen was promoted by my mother but betrayed the lord and was ungrateful, and the king of Xiling wanted to take over the military power, afraid that my mother would take back Shuozhou and harm his Yuan family's ambitions, and the two of them would be even more harmful to her."

Xue Nuo looked at Emperor Tianqing with a calm expression,

"I don't believe that there will be such a vicious person in this world, who will kill his relatives for the benefit of the imperial power, and I don't believe that my uncle, as the emperor, will persecute his loyal ministers because of his own selfishness and frame the Yongzhao Mansion."

"I always remember when I was a child, my uncle hugged me full of love, and I also remember my uncle telling my mother that she would stabilize the country for you, and you would never lose up."

"As long as my uncle dares to swear in front of all the courtiers that you have never harmed my mother and never knew what happened back then, I will believe you."
