Chapter 247: Forbidden to be investigated
Lu Chuan's voice overwhelmed King Ming's roar and landed in the main hall, and everyone heard it clearly.
If you commit the following crimes, you will be punished according to the law.
A few words were clear and distinct, and the Jinluan Hall was quieted down.
King Ming was a little scared at the moment, and subconsciously turned his eyes for help to Emperor Chengjing, his face was pale, and his body trembled irrepressibly.
"Father, father, king, son-in-law no, son-in-law no!"
He was still making feeble quibbles, and Pei Yao didn't even give him a look.
Only stepped forward calmly and firmly to Emperor Chengjing.
"Uncle Huang, Erchen has no parents to take care of him since he was a child, all rely on Uncle Huang's care for Erchen, in the heart of Erchen, Erchen is no different from King Ming and King Dun, they are all the sons of Uncle Huang, but Erchen regards King Ming as a blood brother, but he has delusions, murdering his son, it is really chilling, if he is not severely punished, how should the world look at the royal rules, how should I look at Uncle Huang!"
Speaking of this, Pei Yao glanced coldly at King Ming and the ministers behind him.
"Although no one dares to say it, over the years, Erchen knows that many people in the court think that the imperial uncle is a treacherous person, and regard Erchen's nephew as an outsider, and is biased towards parent-child children, but Erchen believes that the imperial uncle is definitely not this kind of person, the imperial uncle treats the emperor and the king of Ming equally, and the son-in-law must also do his filial piety to the imperial uncle!"
Speaking of this, Pei Yao's eyes looked at Emperor Chengjing sharply, not allowing him to dodge in the slightest.
And no matter how stupid Emperor Chengjing was, he could hear Pei Yao's words.
At this moment, where is the expression of filial piety, but to set him up, if he is still partial to King Ming at this moment, then he will be the person in Pei Yao's mouth, in the hearts of the people of the world, treacherous, biased and murdered his nephew.
Emperor Chengjing is a hypocrite, and he cherishes face the most, so he didn't dare to attack Pei Yao directly for many years, and would only hide in the dark to watch King Ming and Pei Yao fight.
So that he can sit on this throne with a flawless appearance until death.
He is too unconfident, so he is very afraid of the criticism and writing of the people of the world, afraid of being spurned and criticized, and afraid of losing the evening.
And Pei Yao is not only coercive, but also tempting.
He said that he would be filial to Emperor Chengjing, which was said in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which was a real promise.
Emperor Chengjing's palms were sweaty, and he was so nervous that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
On the one hand, Pei Yao, who was pressing step by step, and on the other hand, the distress gaze cast by his own son King Ming, he was entangled.
disposed of King Ming according to the law, he will definitely be able to gain a good reputation, and he can also resolve the contradictions with Pei Yao, and calm the anger of the prince's supporters led by Lu Chuan.
King Keming is his own son, the eldest son, and the heir he wants most in his heart after being silently instilled by Empress Li for many years.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!" Lu Chuan spoke again.
And immediately following his departure, for a while, more than half of the ministers in the court also stood up and asked Emperor Chengjing to make a decision.
Most of these people are Pei Yao's supporters, and some are originally neutral, but today they chose to support Pei Yao when they saw this situation.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, but the ministers unite and may not be able to coerce the monarch.
King Ming listened to the pleas of these people in his ears with a pale face, and his eyes suddenly became resentful and crazy, staring at Pei Yao's back.
Fortunately, Fang Hongshen noticed his abnormality, and quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice.
"Your Highness must not act rashly at this time, there is still room for things to turn around!"
King Ming was not a strong-willed person, and after listening to Fang Hongshen's words at this time, he gritted his teeth and didn't move again.
And Fang Hongshen was not ambiguous, and quickly knelt down and said.
"Your Majesty, murdering the prince is a serious crime, no matter what, it can't be judged lightly, the stakes are very high, these so-called witnesses, I don't know whether their words are true or false, and I ask the emperor to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and then deal with it!"
This is to make time for King Ming.
But Pei Yao is really afraid that King Ming will not make this move.
King Ming wanted to kill him, this is an ironclad fact, if you want to get a respite, and then try to escape, you must forge evidence that he did not do this.
As long as you grasp this, then the Ming King will have no place to turn.
The condemned prisoner also talked about a beheading after the autumn on the road, or gave time to eat a severed meal, Pei Yao didn't mind walking the king of Ming and the others at the moment.
Seeing that Pei Yao didn't speak at this time, Emperor Chengjing was still a little reluctant to give up on his son, so he quickly nodded with Fang Hongshen's words.
"Okay, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will thoroughly investigate this matter together, King Ming will be grounded in the palace first, everyone in the palace will not be allowed to enter or leave, and no one will be allowed to enter the Ming Palace!"
As soon as these words came out, it was considered to have temporarily 'stabilized' the situation.
King Ming was escorted back to the palace by the guards, and the entire periphery of the palace was controlled by the guards.
When the news reached the harem, Queen Li was looking at the dowry list with the third princess.
Although it is not glorious, since the marriage with Jinrong Houfu has been decided, there should be no less preparations.
At this moment, Empress Li's henchmen and eunuchs ran in with a crawl, and immediately reported what happened in the court when they saw someone.
After hearing this, Empress Li stood up suddenly, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the shoulder of the messenger and asked with a face full of disbelief.
"What do you say? What's wrong with King Ming, what's wrong with the prince?! ”
"Niangniang, the prince is not dead, he is back, and he also grabbed the witness, indicating that His Royal Highness the king plotted to kill him, and now, King Ming has been confined by the emperor in the palace!"
"Impossible!" Empress Li stood up and took a few steps back sharply, "Impossible, the palace has already let Ze Cheng order someone to guard the city gate, how can Pei Yao quietly enter the city, this is impossible." ”
"The Queen Mother." The third princess hurriedly came over to support the person, "The top priority is to save the imperial brother, let's go to our father and the emperor to intercede, and then contact the minister to try to exonerate the imperial brother." ”
Empress Li grabbed her daughter's hand, regained some senses, and then ran quickly towards the outside of the palace, wanting to find Emperor Chengjing.
didn't expect Rui Concubine to arrive one step ahead of her, and this time she was taking the five princes to ask Emperor Chengjing for peace.
But she was in a hurry right now, so she couldn't care about this, so she just broke in.
Originally, Emperor Chengjing was holding the fifth prince who had just turned one year old in his arms, and he was still smiling, but when he saw Queen Li, he pulled down his face.
And Empress Li didn't care about this, and knelt down when she saw someone.
"Your Majesty, King Ming will never do anything to murder the prince, and ask the emperor to investigate, but over the years, the prince has always regarded King Ming as an imaginary enemy, and he speculated everywhere, this time, there must be something else!"
"The Queen."
Rui Concubine bowed beside her, and then reminded softly.
"Niangniang, the harem can't interfere in politics, as the mother of the country, you should lead by example, the rights and wrongs of the previous dynasty are right and wrong, and the emperor has his own conclusion, you are here at this moment, isn't this difficult for the emperor, if the king of Ming is really wronged, are you afraid that the emperor will reverse black and white? The so-called, the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. ”
Empress Li was angry and had nowhere to vent, and when she heard Rui Concubine's words at this moment, she got up angrily and threw herself at her.
"Slut, when is it your turn to teach Hongu a lesson!"
"Ahh
