Chapter 175: Jiang Kuo, who repeats his old tricks
On the second day, above the main hall of the palace.
Jiang Kuo held the music in his hand and knelt down directly in front of the monarch in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to sue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for favoritism and fraud, intending to rebel!"
As soon as Jiang Kuo's words came out, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the room were taken aback, and the word rebellion was not something that could be easily spoken.
If the charge of rebellion is confirmed, most of the people in Kyoto will be bleeding by then.
"Rebellion? Jiang Aiqing, is there any evidence for the word rebellion in your mouth? If there is no evidence, it is a felony for you to slander the children of the royal family now!"
His Majesty's eyebrows and eyes were a little more solemn, and he looked at Jiang Kuo as if looking at a dead object.
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows what he did today, and he also knows the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, and as for the evidence, the old minister has also found it."
Jiang Kuo is confident.
He was confident that his men were ready.
"Okay, Lonely, let's hear what the so-called evidence is in your mouth."
His Majesty's eyes were cloudy, and he spoke in a deep voice.
Jiang Kuo was bent on killing the crown prince, so he didn't find anything unusual about His Majesty today.
He only thought that His Majesty heard that someone had rebelled, and the emperor was angry, so he had a gloomy face and a gloomy expression.
"Your Majesty, the old minister was above the court that day, and strongly recommended His Royal Highness Su Lixiao as the crown prince, and this matter was the old minister's negligence."
"The old minister is Your Majesty's courtier, in order to prevent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from having some unwarranted good feelings towards the old minister, the old minister once went to the prince's mansion to explain the position of the old minister to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say much at the time, but the old minister saw a very strange person in His Royal Highness the Prince."
When His Majesty heard this, his brows furrowed.
The accused on the side is not humble or arrogant when he stands on top of the court.
"Jiang Aiqing, who did you see in His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion?"
His Majesty furrowed his brows and continued to ask.
"The remnants of the Western Frontier."
Jiang Kuo gently spit out these words.
"Ridiculous, Jiang Aiqing, the matter of the remnants of Western Xinjiang, Lone has already let people deal with them completely, and now, there is no longer a remnant of the West Frontier in the lonely thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, where does the old minister dare to speak falsely?"
Jiang Kuo continued.
"Jiang Aiqing, why do you recognize those remnants of the Western Frontier everywhere? At the beginning, when Prime Minister Lin Cheng had not yet had an accident, you were also the first person to discover the remnants of Western Xinjiang in his mansion?"
Suddenly, His Majesty's voice changed and he questioned Jiang Kuo.
Jiang Kuo, who asked this, felt very strange for a while.
Why did His Majesty suddenly mention Lin Xiang's matter today? Isn't that a matter already closed?
Jiang Kuo muttered in his heart.
However, there was no turning back from the bow.
Now, he has sued Su Lixiao for rebellion in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, so if he can't say that he is ugly, he will die extremely miserably at that time.
"Your Majesty, the old ministers are particularly worried about the matter of the remnants of the Western Frontier, so I will always observe them."
Jiang Kuo stubbornly explained.
"Your Majesty, do you know? There is a coachman in the mansion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and although he looks like everyone else on the surface, he is a member of the royal guards of the remnants of the Western Frontier."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was originally appointed as the prince because he exterminated the remnants of the Western Frontier, but now, there is a remnant of the Western Frontier hidden in his home, Your Majesty, this matter is very strange."
Jiang Kuo believed that the person in the palace of Prince Shuxiao must be willing to sacrifice his life for him.
At the beginning, he lied that he had saved the man's life, and the coachman had been thinking about how to repay him.
"Jiang Kuo, that person is just a chauffeur in the Prince's Mansion, how can you prove that he is the remnant of the Western Frontier? And how can you prove that he is what you call a member of the Royal Guard?"
His Majesty saw Jiang Kuo move out of the coachman, and the yin owl in his brow became more and more obvious.
"Back to Your Majesty, as long as you find that coachman, the old minister can prove that the coachman is the royal guard of the Western Xinjiang in front of Your Majesty and all the civil and military generals in the court!"
When Jiang Kuo said this, he was very confident.
Because yesterday he had already told the coachman.
The guards of the Western Xinjiang royal family, everyone in the Western Xinjiang is feared, they are all strong in martial arts, far more than ordinary civil and military generals have a status in the hearts of the royal family.
Therefore, in order to distinguish the people of the Western Xinjiang Royal Guards, the royal family deliberately let each of them plant a Gu worm in their bodies.
Of course, this kind of Gu worm is not harmful to the people of the guards.
"It's just a coachman, don't you think that you will find someone and then bend him into a trick to make him admit that he is the royal guard of the Western Frontier?"
His Majesty was already a little impatient with Jiang Kuo's words and deeds.
"Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely not succumb to the coachman, Your Majesty is now here with the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, where does the old minister dare to act like this?"
Jiang Kuo saw that today's His Majesty was becoming more and more invisible to him, so he hurriedly replied carefully.
"Your Majesty, the way to find out if the other party is from the Western Xinjiang royal family is very simple, those royal guards have all planted Gu worms in the bodies of the Western Xinjiang people, this kind of Gu worm is on the chest of the guards, as long as you slap on their chest, the Gu worm can be revealed."
"Okay, Lonely, according to your will."
Although His Majesty's mouth was responding to Jiang Kuo, the person His Majesty was looking at was the crown prince.
Su Lixiao was still above the court, standing steadily, his face was indifferent, unmoved.
It's as if today in this court, Jiang Kuo sued the person who plotted the great crime of rebellion was not him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Kuo knelt down in front of His Majesty and thanked him.
Then he glanced at the court and saw that the other party was still fearless, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Su Lixiao is still as confident as ever.
Even though he is behind bars, he can still be so calm!
Regardless of the different positions they stand, Jiang Kuo still admires Su Lixiao very much, he has always wanted his grandson Su Chen'an to have the same tenacity as Su Lixiao.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm offended!"
Jiang Kuo was very confident in his arrangement, so he pretended to plead guilty to Su Lixiao in this court.
However, for Jiang Kuo's move, Su Lixiao was not too surprised.
"Lord Jiang, the main hall has a clear conscience, so anyone in my Prince's Mansion can be summoned by my father!"
Su Lixiao looked at Jiang Kuo on the side, and his voice changed.
"But if it's today's matter, it was finally found out that it was not what Lord Jiang said, I wonder how Lord Jiang is going to give an explanation to this hall?"
The Prince's Mansion is not something that can be searched if you want to.
Jiang Kuo wants to bring someone out of the Prince's Mansion for interrogation today, so he must give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a satisfactory explanation.
"Your Highness, the old minister is an old man in this court, if this matter is verified to have nothing to do with His Royal Highness, the old minister should ask His Majesty for his guilt and apologize to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
When Su Lixiao heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked.
"Apologize?"
He looked at Jiang Kuo, with a joke between his eyebrows.
"Lord Jiang, you slandered the royal family of this palace for rebellion, and in the end, you wanted to write it off with just a fluttering apology?"
The meaning of Su Lixiao's words was obvious, and he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Kuo's words.
「……!」
Jiang Kuo didn't expect that at this time, Su Lixiao didn't care about the coachman in his house, but began to care about him Jiang Kuo.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you think?"
Jiang Kuo only wanted to kill him as soon as possible
is fast, so, in order to be able to quickly confirm the rebellion of Su Lixiao, he was patient and asked the exit.
"I thought that Master Jiang Kuo should apologize for your crimes!"
「……!」
Jiang Kuo didn't expect that the crown prince would force him to gamble with his life in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.
Su Lixiao looked at the disbelief in Jiang Kuo's eyes and said with a smile.
"Master Jiang, who do you think your own complaint is? The main hall is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was sealed by his father himself!"
"If you want to drag His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of a country into the water, then you naturally have the consciousness of dying, if you don't even dare to do this thing, why does this palace want you to slander a little courtier?"
Su Lixiao's words made the people in the court start to discuss.
Although they were shocked by Jiang Kuo's words, they didn't believe it in their hearts.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so tough now, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs felt more and more that what Jiang Kuo said was not the truth.
In order not to make the doubts in the court more and more out of control, Jiang Kuo had no choice but to let go!
"Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness really has nothing to do with the rebellion, the minister is willing to apologize to His Majesty afterwards and judge himself!"
Jiang Kuo knew that he had to get a glimpse of the Jiang family's future.
As long as he wins the bet this time, his grandson Su Chen'an will become the prince of this country at that time!
Such a huge benefit, it is worth Jiang Kuo's life!
The fifth prince looked at his crazy grandfather Jiang Kuo in the court, and he suddenly felt that there was something strange about everything in front of him.
However, he didn't know what was making him feel weird.
"Okay, since Lord Jiang has made a promise, Father, you can ask the palace guards to go to my Prince's Mansion to bring people out."
What I want is Jiang Kuo's words.
Now that his goal has been achieved, he will naturally let go.
"Come here, pass on Lone's order, and go to the prince's mansion to bring people!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guards in the palace rushed to the Prince's Mansion because of His Majesty's order.
In a short time they brought the coachman to the top of the main hall.
Jiang Kuo deliberately looked at him deeply when he passed by the coachman, and the coachman nodded at him as much.
Jiang Kuo was overjoyed.
Today's events are finally nine out of ten.
"Li Jiang, the chauffeur of the villain's Prince's Mansion, has seen Your Majesty."
The coachman saluted His Majesty in the hall.
"Li Jiang, I'm going to ask you, who are you? You have the Gu worm of the Western Frontier royal family on your chest?"
His Majesty asked the coachman, but his eyebrows were looking at Jiang Kuo.
"The villain is a person from this dynasty, he has been serving in the army before, and he was injured and was accepted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a chauffeur in the mansion, Your Majesty, there is no Gu worm on the villain's chest as you said."
The coachman fell to the ground and spoke to His Majesty.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Kuo on the side already sensed that something was wrong.
He made this Li Jiang pretend to be cowering and afraid, but his current appearance did not show the slightest hint of fear.
"Li Jiang, do you know who you are facing now? Let me tell you, you, the royal guard of the Western Frontier, do not want to use this trick of pretending to be innocent to deceive Your Majesty!"
Jiang Kuo stabilized his mind and said to Li Jiang.
When these words are heard in other people's ears, they are naturally no problem with reprimanding, but in fact, Jiang Kuo's words are reminding Li Jiang.
"My lord, the villain doesn't understand what your words mean."
