Chapter 351: King Qing's Assist (Second Update)
As soon as King Rui's words came out, the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
Who doesn't understand that the reason why the emperor didn't set up a prince was because he wanted to abolish the heir and establish a concubine, and he didn't like the second prince Rong Chen born to the queen, but valued the fifth prince Rong Xiao born to Concubine Yi.
And the queen is the sister of Si Taifu, that is, the eldest son is the nephew of Si Taifu. Not to mention the family affection, as long as Queen Si and the eldest son lose power, the entire Si family will be implicated, how can he sit still.
Therefore, he colluded with Yongguo and borrowed the hand of Yongguo to get rid of the five princes who were feared by the world.
"Hahaha!" Si Taifu put one hand behind his back, and slowly smiled back: "King Rui wants to become evidence of the old minister's collusion with Yongguo because of a forged letter from Yongguo, so can you still take out ten hundred letters, and you can add any crime to any official you want." ”
The harem is not allowed to participate in politics, and Queen Si was so anxious that she wanted to speak several times, so Concubine Xian said coldly: "Queen, don't break the rules." ”
The queen can have today's stable position, all depends on the Si family, and she herself is the most bad at these deceits.
"Where did Si Taifu see that this letter was forged, and there was the jade seal of Emperor Yongguo on it." King Rui took the letter and unfolded it, and held it up with one hand to show it to the people.
At this time, Mrs. Si smiled again, and took out a letter from his bosom leisurely: "King Rui wants to see if this letter is true or false." ”
King Rui's eyes sank, this old fox lost the letter he Yongguo gave him, so he made a fake and put it on his body in case of emergency.
"I don't want Mrs. Si to have the habit of carrying forged letters with him." King Rui is reminding everyone that Mrs. Si has no ghost in his heart, why should he carry a forged Yongguo letterhead on his body.
Mrs. Si smiled disapprehantly: "Someone just sent this letter to the minister last night, and the minister thought about bringing it to the emperor today to determine whether it is true or false." After speaking, he handed it over to Father-in-law Decheng as usual.
The emperor looked at the back and suddenly sank.
This letter writes that dozens of old ministers colluded with foreign nations.
The old fox is getting more and more cunning.
But at this time, there was no more evidence, and Emperor Ming Zhao could only eat Coptis dumbly.
"Rui Wang, how do you explain it?"
For a while, King Rui was speechless, even if he knew that Si Taifu was colluding with Yongguo, he couldn't argue with just one mouth.
He said in his heart, he still underestimated the old fox.
The prince had been anxious for a long time, and when he turned around, he asked Sheng Jiao: "Where are the things?" ”
Sheng Jiao was at a loss: "What is it?" ”
"Evidence of King Rui and King Qing forming a private army."
Sheng Jiao's face turned pale with fright: "What did the prince's brother say, Jiao'er didn't." ”
"You shit!"
The two of them spoke in a very small voice, but Diao Youning could hear it clearly.
Irony in the heart: two wastes.
Emperor Ming Zhao also wanted to bring down Si Taifu, but he could only kill with one blow, otherwise he would be very dangerous, and he had no choice but to open his mouth to cure the sin of King Rui, when he saw the guards of King Rui's mansion rushing quickly.
"The little one is the emperor, the queen mother. This is the letter of the prince of my family who fell into the palace. The guard hurriedly handed the letter to King Rui.
King Rui was at a loss, how could he have any letters left in the mansion.
But I still took it, opened it, and my eyes lit up in an instant, and I had confidence.
"Father, this is a letter written by Si Taifu to Emperor Yongguo."
The last one was a letter from Yongguo to Si Taifu, which can be said to be a forgery, but this one was written by Si Taifu to Emperor Yongguo, see how he can quibble.
As soon as King Rui's words came out, he was shocked in an instant.
If this is true, Si Taifu will be beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and plotting to kill the prince.
Even Emperor Ming Zhao was shocked.
"Is it such a coincidence?" Wu Anhou, who was quietly eating melons, narrowed his peach blossom eyes.
"What's the coincidence, it's just the icing on the cake of King Qing." Yin Mo smiled evilly.
The father and son swore with the same expression to watch the excitement.
Emperor Ming Zhao looked at it, and his face became more and more heavy: "Decheng, quickly show Si Taifu, his pen work is the first in Tianyang, but there is a fake?" ”
As soon as Si Taifu Zhanxin saw it, his hands began to tremble.
How is this possible? This letter is in the Yongguo Palace, how can it be obtained by King Rui?
When the prince saw that his uncle's face was bloodless, he knew that it was over.
"Si Taifu, you colluded with Yongguo ten years ago, let my generals suffer countless casualties, cede the city, and make the five princes go to Yongguo as a hostage for ten years, what crime should you be guilty of?" Emperor Ming Zhao's eyes burst out with long-suppressed hatred.
When Empress Si heard it: "No, the emperor, someone must have framed the concubine and brother......"
But before she finished speaking, Emperor Ming Zhao shook his long sleeves fiercely, and the queen fell to the ground.
Concubine Xian and Concubine De quietly moved back with their own thoughts.
"King Rui, you have coveted the crown prince for a long time, and if you can't ask for it, you will start to frame him by three indiscriminate means." The prince is in a hurry, without Si Taifu, how can his position as the crown prince be stable. "Father, the son learned that King Rui had formed a private army, but no evidence has been found yet."
Although King Rui was surprised when he heard it, the prince said that he had no evidence, so he said nonsense in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, which was stupid. "Just because the prince has one mouth, he says that his younger brother will form a private army, and then he will form a private army, so what if his younger brother says that the prince will form a private army?"
The prince was stunned.
At this time, the subordinates of the Rui Wangfu came running fast again.
"The little one is the emperor, the queen mother. This is what my lord left in the palace. The guard hurriedly handed the box to King Rui.
King Rui frowned, looking at his guards suspiciously, where did he love things so much.
Guard: "Lord, it was indeed you who fell." ”
Rui Wang opened the box suspiciously, and saw that it was a piece of paper.
Frowning, he couldn't help but be startled, a little incredulous, lowered his voice and asked, "People, can you bring it?" ”
The guard nodded: "Back to the prince, bring it." ”
King Rui thought that the letters written by Si Taifu to Yongguo just now also appeared in the mansion so mysteriously, presumably the people behind them hated Si Taifu as much as he did.
He took a breath and ordered, "Bring people in." "The scissors that were released can no longer be recovered, so I can only give it a go.
Then take the box and present it to Emperor Ming Zhao.
"Father, this is the Prince's Private Army Token."
The scene just now was shocking enough, and now there is a big melon, and a pair of eyes are dumbfounded.
The princelings shivered even more when they stood with a chill down their spines.
"What did you say?" Emperor Ming Zhao thought he had misheard.
Even Queen Si, who didn't stand firmly, almost fell again.
Princess Changle ran to the queen mother: "Queen mother, what's wrong with you?" She doesn't know what collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is, and she doesn't know what a private army is.
"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? You really dare to slander Prince Ben. "Prince Rong Chen has a weak heart, but he doesn't believe that the third child can get his private military order.
King Rui glanced at the prince coldly with disdain, and took out the token in the box.
"Brother Prince, do you recognize this token?"
