"Your Majesty."

Yun Jinchu said suddenly: "The southern border has been fighting with the Southern Chu for many years, and there are countless soldiers who have died in the battle between the two sides, since the British prince and the second prince have evidence in their hands, then why not try Mo Jingyue and check the silverfish in the Qing Dynasty, so as to give an explanation to the soldiers in the south." ”

Emperor Jing looked at her suddenly, and saw that her face was still as obedient as before, and there was no unruly look on her face with a slight frown, but she simply didn't understand why he refused to examine the case in detail.

Emperor Jing took a deep breath with a calm eye: "I will give an explanation to the soldiers of the southern border, but not now." ”

"Then when does Your Majesty want to wait?" The British public was aggressive, "Or did Your Majesty never intend to try this case in detail, just because the four princes were involved, he wanted to show favoritism, and he spared the people involved?" ”

"Presumptuous!!"

Emperor Jing slapped the table in front of him suddenly, and many people in the hall knelt down in unison.

King Hui frowned and stood up: "British duke, the imperial brother has always been fair, and he will never show favoritism, don't you want your head like this?!" ”

The British public heard that he knelt down: "Weichen just doesn't want to see His Majesty's holy name dusty." ”

King Hui seemed to be annoyed that he was dead-headed, but he was helpless in the face of the courtiers who knelt on the ground, he could only turn his head to look at Emperor Jing and said: "Brother Huang, since they all want to try this case tonight, then the trial will be done, Zuo is just to find out a few corrupt people in the court, besides, it is a felony for the four princes to dig down the embankment before and cause the flooding in Dingzhou, and it is not much worse." ”

Emperor Jing's face was extremely ugly, and everyone knelt down to look at him, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger.

Yun Jinchu just looked sideways at the person above, if she was Emperor Jing, why should she worry a lot, how could she be coerced by someone in her power, just forcibly take down the people in the palace, what do they dare to do, it's a pity that Emperor Jing cares too much about his feathers, and he never wants to let his name as a "holy monarch" be dusty.

Just as he did not hesitate to give up the old prince Mo in order to protect his reputation, now even if he is angry, he will also compromise.

Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Jing took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since you want to be tried, then you will be tried." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

……

When the fourth prince was brought out of the edict, the whole person looked in a trance, and he heard that Emperor Jing summoned him to the palace, and he still had a trace of luck, thinking that his father remembered the past father-son friendship during the New Year's Festival tonight, and summoned him to the palace to spare him.

But when he was brought into the main hall and saw Mo Jingyue, who had just been released from the iron cage and pouted, his face turned pale instantly, and his body, which had been emaciated by months of imprisonment, trembled instantly.

As soon as the British Duke took the account in his hand and asked, the fourth prince didn't even hear the account book clearly, so he knelt on the ground with a soft knee.

"Father's life, father's life, son's minister was only confused for a while before he was deceived by Mo Jingyue, son-in-law didn't know what he did at first, he just thought he was taking things in Beijing in exchange for some small profits, but later found out that those things were actually sent to Beidi and Nanchu."

"Erchen was so remorseful at that time that he wanted to stop, but Mo Jingyue said that if Erchen dared to betray him, he would drag Erchen to die together, as well as those people in the court, and them, they all got those benefits, if Erchen regretted that they couldn't tolerate Erchen's ......"

The four princes cried so badly that their tears and snot were mixed together.

He really didn't know that Mo Jingyue was colluding with the enemy country at the beginning, although he sensed that there was something wrong with those interests, but the large amount of money sent into the mansion allowed him to better buy the people in the court for his use, and he could also get the support of the south, so he completely put aside the uneasiness in his heart, even if he realized the truth later, he didn't want to stop at all.

He only thought that after he won the throne, he would wipe off the traces of the beginning, but who would have thought that he would fall to such a point, and even Mo Jingyue was arrested and returned to the capital......

"Erchen knew that he was wrong, but Erchen was just confused for a while, and begged his father to spare Erchen."

The four princes kowtowed, without any resistance.

Emperor Jing sat on the top and looked at him with a tight frown: "So the account book in the hands of the British Duke is real?" ”

The four princes whimpered and wailed, not daring to make a sound.

Emperor Jing said coldly: "Who is colluding with you?" ”

The four princes didn't dare to hide it at all, and quickly spit out a few names in their mouths, and saw that some of the people in the hall who were originally pale were kneeling on the ground with weak legs and begging for mercy. ”

He said to Emperor Jing: "These people are only some of them, and there are several high-ranking and powerful four princes who have not been mentioned. ”

King Hui spoke: "And? ”

The second prince nodded and said: "There is also Qin Fengyang, the old man of Fengge Pavilion, He Yaoguang, the secretary of the military department, and Shao Xingfan, the commander of the Lu'an army." ”

Emperor Jing's face changed instantly, and He Yaoguang, who was sitting in the banquet, got up with a pale face, Qin Fengyang had a reason tonight, and he had never entered the palace for a banquet, He Yaoguang originally saw that the matter was making a big deal and just sat on the sidelines and watched the excitement, but he never expected that people were sitting in the banquet, the pot came from the sky, and the smuggling of the four princes was inexplicably involved in him.

He Yaoguang said angrily: "Nonsense, when did this official collude with the four princes, and how did he ever have dealings with Mo Jingyue?" ”

"You went to work in the south more than ten years ago, and you dare to say that you have no contact with Mo Jingyue?"

"How many years ago was that, at that time, the old prince Mo was still there, Mo Jingyue was only a junior general in the army, and the official and he were just ordinary contacts, and later transferred to Beijing, the palace never contacted him privately, and never had anything to do with the four princes."

He Yao trembled a little with anger, turned his head and knelt down towards Emperor Jing,

"Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen has never been to the south of the country in Beijing all these years, and he has always guarded his duty as a minister, and he never dared to exceed the rules, Weichen is absolutely free of corruption and smuggling, and the British prince and the second prince are clearly slandered!"

The British Duke said coldly: "Then why is your name on this ledger?" ”

"Then who knows, this account book is in your hands, and you don't have the final say on who is written on it?"

He Yaoguang simply hated the British prince and the second prince, once the smuggling of the fourth prince was confirmed, it would be a capital crime, these two people clearly wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, wanted to kill him, and spoke a little more sarcastically under anger, "The Second Highness has been making a lot of noise since he returned from the disaster relief in Dingzhou, and everyone in the court said that you are the choice of the new monarch, and the second prince is afraid that he wants to take the opportunity to eradicate the dissidents so that he can seek the right to not do it." ”

"You're slander!!"

The second prince was furious when he heard this: "This account book was found by me from Jiangnan, from the Zhennan Palace, my father and sons, I would never dare to cheat on it." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has no collusion with Mo Jingyue, and there is no greed at all, it is the second prince who wronged Weichen!"

"Father, everything the son said is true, and there is an account book as proof......"

"That account book must be forged, Your Majesty should not be deceived by villains..."

"Who do you say is the villain?!"

The second prince glared angrily, and He Yaoguang did not back down, and directly pushed back with a word: "Whoever lies and slanders this official is a villain." ”

"You!!"

The two of them quarreled directly in front of the palace, one said that the other party excluded dissidents, and the other said that the other party was quibbling words, and no one refused to accept anyone, everyone in the entire hall was looking at them, and Emperor Jing was even more bruised on his forehead, grabbed the cup in his hand and threw it down.

"Enough!"

Both were silenced at the same time.

Emperor Jing said angrily: "Do you think this is the entrance of the vegetable market, or do you think you are a long-tongued woman, do you want me to vacate this place for you to have a good quarrel?!" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"Wechen doesn't dare."

The second prince and He Yaoguang both hurriedly knelt down.

Emperor Jing's face was extremely ugly, his chest was full of anger when he gasped in his throat, and King Hui also stood in front of the palace and said angrily: "Look at what your majesty has become, one of you is a prince, the other is an important minister in the court, what can't you say well, you have to make trouble like a shrew in the market?" ”

"Since the second prince said that there is the name of He Shangshu on the account book, and He Shangshu said that he was wronged, one of you refuses to admit that the account book is fake, and the other refuses to admit the smuggling, then just ask Mo Jingyue, the person is here, and you can know if the account book is true or false, what is there to quarrel about?!"

The second prince was not afraid at all: "Just ask, I will not falsify this account book." ”

He Yaoguang's face also condensed: "Wechen is not afraid, what Wechen has never done before, he is not afraid to confront people!" ”

The second prince was stunned for a moment when he saw his words, and even the British prince couldn't help frowning slightly, they originally thought that He Yaoguang was just arguing with force, but he looked so calm, and he was not even afraid to confront Mo Jingyue at all, as if he had really never done anything......

But what's the deal with the ledger?

There was a sudden uneasiness in the heart of the British duke, but the king of Hui had already asked someone to take the things that blocked Mo Jingyue's mouth.

"Mo Jingyue, you committed a rebellion and were captured today, your fate is definitely certain death, but if you can honestly explain and help the imperial brother to clean up the court, the imperial brother can still save your loved ones for the sake of you who also fought on the battlefield with the old prince Mo in the past."

Mo Jingyue laughed suddenly, and his voice was rough: "Since I was captured, what else dare I not say." ”

He looked up at He Yaoguang, and his gaze fell on the face of this He Shangshu who was not afraid at all, "He Shangshu is indeed colluding with me. ”

"Look, how can this official ......?"

As soon as He Yaoguang said half a sentence proudly, how could he collude with Mo Jingyue, and then reacted to what Mo Jingyue was talking about, his face instantly distorted, and he glared at Mo Jingyue angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, when will I collude with you?!" ”

Mo Jingyue sat on the ground, his hands and feet were bound by chains, but his face was relaxed:

"It's all come to this point, the account book has been obtained, He Shangshu has nothing to quibble, this king colludes with others to smuggle forbidden things, there is always someone in the court to help cover up, Qin Pavilion is old in the Wenchen to help dredge up the relationship, and the military department also has He Shangshu conspired with this king, if not, how can those armor and iron weapons, war horses, how can they be easily obtained?"

"You!"

He Yaoguang's eyes were about to split, "You fart!" I've never given you anything, and Elder Qin Ge will never ......"

Mo Jingyue only smiled and didn't speak, but the eyes of the people around him had already made He Yaoguang's scalp tingle.

He only felt like he had fallen into a big net, and he didn't understand why Mo Jingyue wanted to harm him, they were unjust and had never had any involvement, why did he wronged him?!
