"Your Majesty, King Yan raped and killed the daughter of an important minister of the imperial court, and the impact is very bad!"

Zhao Zong said with a solemn face: "The minister thinks ...... If you don't kill, it's not enough to correct the law of the country, and if you don't kill, it's not enough to be angry with the people! ”

These words can be described as deafening.

made the courtiers of the palace think that King Yan should be killed.

Only Chu Li's face was sad, and at the same time he threw a look of help to his father.

"Your Majesty must not, killing the prince is not good for the country."

Qingguo Gong Chu Wei understood, and immediately admonished: "King Yan is guilty of violence, but he is the prince of Great Wei after all, if Your Majesty rashly kills him, wouldn't he fall into the name of killing his son?!" ”

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this right and wrong.

Because Li Xingchen is already a public enemy condemned by everyone.

But for the sake of his daughter's reputation, he completely let it go.

"Qingguo Gong's words are wrong, and King Yan's atrocities are now well known."

Zhao Zong asked righteously: "If you don't kill, why do you explain to the people of the world?" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking.

The crown prince Li Yu, who was at the top of the hundred officials, came out in response.

"Qi Qi Father, King Yan's violence was done after drinking, and the son believes that it was not from his original intention, and I implore my father to be lenient."

Although Li Yu was watching from the sidelines and stayed out of the matter before.

But at this moment, as soon as he stood up and spoke, he immediately won the praise of all the officials in the hall.

The prince is benevolent, and the king of Yan is tyrannical!

Compare the two, and make a judgment.

"Plea for my brother, Yu'er deserves to be the prince of the dynasty!"

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "In your opinion, how should King Yan be punished?" ”

"Erchen thinks that King Yan's death crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."

Speaking of this, Li Yu glanced at Li Xingchen sympathetically: "Just sentence him to exile in Tibet for five years!" ”

"Tibet is located in the western border, and it is a place of extreme bitter cold......"

Li Zhen was thoughtful, then looked around at the ministers and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections to the prince's verdict?" ”

Zhou Wen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately echoed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well versed in the laws of the Great Wei, and it is reasonable for King Yan to exile Tibet for five years, and the old minister agrees!" ”

"Yang Qing, are you still satisfied with punishing King Yan like this?"

Li Zhen set his eyes on Guanglu Doctor Yang Xiu again.

Yang Xiu bowed down with a blank expression: "Weichen is satisfied!" ”

As the bitter master of the loss of his daughter, his attitude represents the end of the case.

"Rebel, now you can always confess, right?"

Li Zhen immediately looked at Li Xingchen and asked sharply.

"Third brother, the matter has come to this, don't be stubborn!"

Li Yu stepped forward to help Li Xingchen up, and persuaded with a pleasant face: "As long as you are willing to confess your sins in the palace, you are still the Yan King of Great Wei, and you are still a good brother of Lonely, and you will still be glorious and rich when you come back from exile for five years!" ”

Li Xingchen shook his head: "I am not guilty!" ”

"Hiss......"

The atmosphere of the Tai'an Hall became solemn again.

All the officials looked at Li Xingchen with a look of disbelief.

It's time for that.

This King Yan still refuses to admit his guilt?

Is he going to fight His Majesty to the end?

"Rebel, you are really dying!"

Li Zhen stared at Li Xingchen closely, and his tone was like ice.

"It's what I did, I'll admit it!"

Li Xingchen straightened up, raised his head and said, "But I didn't kill anyone, where does the crime come from?" ”

When Zhao Zong, the servant of the Criminal Department, heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Yan King is really stubborn!

The criminal department's trial documents are clearly recorded, and both human and physical evidence are there.

He still wants to overturn the case?

"King Yan, this case has long been recorded, and the dagger you committed has also been filed in the Criminal Department!"

Zhao Zong said with a mocking face: "Why do you have to struggle, why don't you follow Your Majesty and confess your sin, wouldn't it be beautiful?!" ”

"Hehe, as a servant of the Criminal Department, this is how you investigate the case?"

Li Xingchen glanced at Zhao Zong and sneered: "If you were drunk and unconscious last night, and someone put Yang Yan's body beside you, wouldn't you also become a murderer?" ”

"You...... You're spewing blood......"

When Zhao Zong heard this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the old fritters who have been in officialdom for many years quickly calmed down.

"King Yan's ability to confuse the public is really powerful, but don't you think it's ridiculous to say it in front of hundreds of officials in the Manchu Dynasty?!"

"If you are really innocent, why don't you come up with evidence and clear your name?"

After saying this, Zhao Zong showed a smug smile.

Didn't you Li Xingchen want to overturn the case?

Then get the evidence out!

There is no basis for his words, and Yang Yan has no proof of his death.

I want to see what you rely on to turn things around.

"Evidence?"

Li Xingchen looked disdainful.

With the authority of Emperor Li Zhen, does the evidence matter?

In the opinion of court officials, does evidence matter?

With the public opinion of the people in Beijing, is the evidence important?

Evidence doesn't matter at all.

Because everyone believed that Li Xingchen was the murderer of Wang Yan.

Once this concept is formed,

Even if he can produce evidence and find out the real culprit, people will think that this is a secret operation by the royal family.

In addition, for the sake of royal face, Li Zhen didn't care about the relationship between father and son, and just wanted him to confess his guilt as soon as possible.

Li Xingchen knows that his current situation is already the enemy of the whole world.

But he didn't want to compromise, let alone be saddled with the black cauldron of rape and murder.

"Third child, as the prince of Great Wei, you are a coward who has no responsibility, I am very disappointed!"

Li Zhen's face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold: "You are not qualified to be the Yan King of Great Wei, let alone my son." ”

"I'm disappointed in me, right, I happen to be disappointed in Your Majesty too!"

Li Xingchen looked at Li Zhen and said with a calm expression: "In this case, it is better for us to sever the father-son relationship in the palace today, from now on, I will no longer be the Yan King of Great Wei, no longer the son of His Majesty, and I will have nothing to do with the Great Wei royal family, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds!" ”

Hearing this, the officials in the hall were suddenly stunned.

Is King Yan crazy?

How dare you say such a thing to Your Majesty in front of your palace?

Parents of the body's hair and skin.

The son took the initiative to cut off the relationship with his father, which is simply a big rebellion!

"Beast, where did you borrow the guts to dare to say such a rebellious thing to me?!"

Li Zhen's angry roar suddenly reverberated in the Tai'an Palace.

It made the scalps of all the officials in the hall numb and frightened.

And Chu Wei, Li Yu, Li Heng, Chu Li, Bitter Lord Yang Xiu and others were also looking at Li Xingchen in disbelief.

They never dreamed that this young Yan King would suddenly attack the Great Wei Emperor.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Tai'an Hall was extremely tense.

Everyone, including the crown prince Li Yu, looked at each other and was silent!

At this time, Emperor Li Zhen of Wei was like an angry lion, panting heavily.

The angry eyes stared at Li Xingchen tightly.

He seemed to want to use this kind of kingly gaze to dispel Li Xingchen's rebellious thoughts.
