Chapter 177: Lin Xiangshang cleared up his grievances
Jiang Kuo no longer has the ability to quibble, because all the evidence is pointing at him.
Today's Li Jiang is here to kill him.
"Jiang Kuo, do you think what you did was worthy of Lonely?"
His Majesty swept all Jiang Kuo's charges to the ground and glared at Jiang Kuo.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to His Majesty, whether you believe it or not, in the heart of the old minister, His Majesty has always been the first place."
Even though Jiang Kuo looked at the conclusive evidence, he still chose to lie in front of His Majesty.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wolf ambition, Your Majesty, you are now in your prime, and you have to guard against it!"
Jiang Kuo knew that he was already lacking in skills today, and there was no way to become His Majesty's favorite.
But even so, he has to pull a cushion when he dies!
The emperor's mind is unpredictable.
But the emperor is also suspicious.
Jiang Kuo is to make His Majesty suspicious of Su Lixiao at this dying moment.
"Your Majesty, even if the old minister admits that Li Jiang is my person, Your Majesty also has to think about why the old minister's people suddenly became the confidants of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the government and has a suspicious mind, Your Majesty, you must not be on guard!"
At this end of the road, Jiang Kuo chose to use his life to admonish the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the old minister's heart for Your Majesty can illuminate the moon, and in this life I have no one else except Your Majesty! Now that I have been calculated by His Royal Highness the Prince, although I regret it in my heart, I don't regret it! Because I did all this for Your Majesty!"
After Jiang Kuo saw that the matter was revealed, he didn't think about how to explain it, but instead slapped at the prince Shuxiao.
Obviously, today in the court, Jiang Kuo took the lead in calculating the prince's dream, but now in his mouth, it seems that His Royal Highness the prince calculated him.
"Lord Jiang, don't you still want to deduct a good reputation for yourself as loyal and patriotic at this time?"
Su Lixiao looked at Jiang Kuo like this and said with a sneer.
"You keep saying that you are loyal to your father, but this palace wants to ask Lord Jiang well, if you are really dedicated to my father, why did you calculate Lin Xiang's family in the court in the first place?"
「……?!」
When Su Lixiao mentioned Lin Xiang's family, Jiang Kuo's face suddenly turned pale.
However, in the next moment, he calmed down again.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't want to talk here, Lin Xiang's family is his own fault, if he hadn't taken in Shen Mengjiao from the Western Xinjiang Royal Family as a concubine, why would he have ended up like that?"
Jiang Kuo was full of malice and came back at Su Lixiao.
In his opinion, now Lin Xiang's family has already become a ghost under the knife, and the truth of the original matter is all up to him Jiang Kuo to have the final say.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now that you are defending a rebellious minister in front of Your Majesty, you really have a disobedient heart towards Your Majesty!"
Jiang Kuo bit back and said with hatred in his eyes.
"Master Jiang, I'm afraid you don't know a sentence that people are watching the sky."
"Are you sure everything you did was clean? Is it true that Lin Xiang's family is not left alive?"
Su Lixiao looked at Jiang Kuo and said with a light smile.
"Lord Jiang, how did you find out about whether Shen Mengjiao, the concubine of Lin Xiang's family, is a member of the Western Frontier royal family? Isn't it the same as the sue against the temple today?"
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you don't have to talk nonsense here!"
Jiang Kuoxiang suddenly jumped up as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail.
"The rebellion of Lin Xiang's family that day was unanimously reviewed by the court, and His Majesty was given the responsibility, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are now turning over the old accounts in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in this court, don't you want to protect Lin Xiang's family in this place?"
Jiang Kuo realized that Su Lixiao wanted to re-investigate Lin Xiang's family, so he panicked.
Now he's here
The guilt can also escape death in front of His Majesty through quibbles, and if the matter of Lin Xiang's family is also poked out, then he will no longer have any chance of surviving.
"This hall is here today to go over this old account with Lord Jiang!"
Su Lixiao looked at Jiang Kuo and said.
"As long as there are still doubts about the case that day, as long as the people who denounced Lin Xiang's family that day have other plans, then this hall is to avenge the wronged people!"
His Majesty also saw Su Lixiao's intentions, so he asked in a deep voice.
"Prince, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the matter of Lin Xiang's family was also done by Jiang Kuo?"
His Majesty's brow furrowed.
"Lin Xiang used to be loyal and patriotic, and he was Gu's right-hand man, although the evidence of his treason against the country that day was conclusive, but Gu never wanted to believe that this matter was true......
Lin Xiang and His Majesty today have been monarchs and ministers for many years, and His Majesty knows what kind of courtier Lin Xiang is.
In his opinion, Lin Xiang did nothing wrong in dealing with the affairs of the court, and the only wrong thing he did was to leave Shen Mengjiao, the remnant of the Western Xinjiang royal family!
"Lin Xiang's matter, Lone didn't want his life, but the matter of the remnants of the Western Xinjiang that day was in an uproar, and Lone didn't really want him to die......
His Majesty thought of his feelings when he received the news that Lin Xiang had committed suicide in prison that day, and lowered his eyes.
"Father, since you say so, are you willing to give Lin Xiang a chance to explain if he still exists in this world?"
Su Lixiao observed His Majesty's every move, and then spoke.
His Royal Highness the Prince's words made His Majesty raise his eyes, but Jiang Kuo, who was kneeling on the ground on the side, suddenly lost any blood on his face.
"Lixiao, what do you mean by what you just said? What does it mean if Lin Xiang still exists in this world?"
His Majesty's eyebrows were a little more suspicious and surprised, and he twisted his eyebrows to look at Su Lixiao.
"On that day, Lord Jiang accused Lin Xiang of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country above the court, because Lin Xiang's concubine Shen Mengjiao was born in the Western Xinjiang royal family, so the father and the military generals in the court all confirmed Lin Xiang's crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."
"But after a thorough investigation by her sons, Shen Mengjiao does have a little connection with the Western Xinjiang royal family, however, her father fell behind in the royal family competition back then, and the Western Xinjiang royal family sent Shen Mengjiao's family into slavery, although she was born in the Western Xinjiang royal family, but because of the royal competition, she was born from the beginning of the efforts of the Western Xinjiang and never enjoyed a day of royal life."
Su Lixiao's words made Jiang Kuo's eyes on the side more hateful.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to quibble for a remnant of the Western Frontier Royal Family now? Does it matter if she has ever lived a day of royal life? The important thing is that she, Shen Mengjiao, is a member of the royal family!"
Jiang Kuo firmly believed that as long as he bit Shen Mengjiao's background to death, then it would be impossible for Su Lixiao to turn over Lin Xiang's case even if he said that the heavens were broken.
"Yes, Shen Mengjiao is a remnant of the Western Frontier Royal Family, but the first person to know her identity as a remnant of the Western Frontier Imperial Family is you, not Lin Xiang."
Su Lixiao looked at Jiang Kuo and said word by word.
"Back then, Lord Jiang, you went to the Western Xinjiang and saw Shen Mengjiao's family working as slaves and maids in the Western Xinjiang, so you saved Shen Mengjiao and her younger brother."
"After you brought people to the capital, you have been kept in the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and when the time is ripe, you will let Shen Mengjiao and Lin Xiang meet by chance!"
"Shen Mengjiao has never told the truth because her brother is in your hands, but, Master Jiang, someone will always know what you have done!"
Jiang Kuo's heart was very shocked.
He never thought that Su Lixiao would secretly investigate so many things!
How could Su Lixiao know so clearly about what happened back then?
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to talk nonsense here? Let me tell you, you are now communiquing your personal vendetta, and Lin Xiang's family has already confessed to the law, but you want to bring up the old matter here and make up nonsense to smear me!"
Although Jiang Kuo was shocked by Su Lixiao's knowledge
There are so many things, but he firmly believes that Shen Mengjiao is dead.
When Shen Mengjiao was tortured that day, he was on the side.
Therefore, Jiang Kuo knew that a person like Shen Mengjiao would never come back to life and identify him!
"Smear you, Master Jiang, this hall wants you to see if I'm smearing you!"
Su Lixiao sneered and looked at Jiang Kuo.
Then, he pleaded with the emperor in the palace.
"Father, what the son said in the palace is true, not only that, but the son still has physical evidence in his hand, if the father still has any doubts about Lin Xiang's case, the son is willing to help the father find out everything behind it!"
Leaving the sky, he bowed his hand and faced His Majesty in the palace.
"Okay, you present all the physical witnesses in your hands, and you want to see how much Jiang Kuo has deceived Gu!"
His Majesty commanded in a deep voice.
As an emperor, he is not stupid, but sometimes he needs to turn a blind eye.
But now, Jiang Kuo is doing too much, and His Majesty will not let such a courtier who endangers the country and society stay in the court.
"Yes!"
After Shulixiao got His Majesty's permission, he asked Yunfei to bring Lin Xiang, who had been waiting outside the hall, into the hall.
"The sinner has seen Your Majesty!"
Lin Xiang stepped into the court hall and knelt down to salute the monarch in the hall.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiang, who was supposed to commit suicide in the prison, and today he stood in front of them with a look of surprise.
"Lin Xiang, how can Lin Xiang still be alive?"
"This person is Lin Xiang, right? Although his appearance has changed a lot, his actions are the same as the former Lin Xiang!"
"Lin Xiang is still alive? Could it be that the events of that day were really framed by Lord Jiang?"
Lin Xiang's sudden appearance made the court suddenly lively.
"Lin ...... Aiqing ......"
His Majesty looked at Lin Xiang who was standing in front of him, and his eyebrows were very policemen, so he asked suspiciously.
"The sinners are there."
Lin Xiang straightened his waist and knelt in reply.
"You're really alive!"
When His Majesty heard this, he finally believed that the kneeling man in the temple was his former right-hand man.
"The criminal should have died, but when the Lin family was raided that day, my concubine Shen Mengjiao once handed me a note."
"She told me everything Jiang Kuo had done on the note.
"The criminal minister can bury his life for His Majesty and the people of this country, but the criminal minister is not willing to lose his life because of a villain like Jiang Kuo!"
"That's why I've survived until today, because I don't want Your Majesty to be blinded by a villain like Jiang Kuo!"
Lin Xiang looked at Jiang Kuo, his eyes were full of hatred and shame towards the villain.
"As you said, what happened that day was indeed Jiang Kuo's framing of your Lin family?" His Majesty's eyebrows were lowered.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the criminal minister came to the palace today is to explain the reason for the incident of that day, my emperor is wise and powerful, and he will not let the criminal minister bear the responsibility!"
Lin Xiang knelt on the ground and held up the incriminating evidence on his body above his head.
"Your Majesty, in addition to this piece of evidence of Jiang Kuo's crimes, there is another person outside the palace, he is Shen Mengjiao's younger brother, and today he came to the palace to testify for his sister and the Lin family!"
