Chapter 65: Moving to the court
The eunuch beside Emperor Deyuan hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter taken out by the prince.
Seeing that those letters were put in front of Emperor Deyuan by the eunuchs, a star of the four princes had already been raised to his throat, and he subconsciously glanced at the officials behind him.
With just such a small move, those officials knew that these letters were indeed written by the four princes.
For a while, the officials behind the four princes suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, with such some evidence, it can be described as ironclad, and there is no way to quibble anymore.
Everyone's eyes fell on Emperor Deyuan, only to see Emperor Deyuan glance at the stack of letters lightly, and then glared at the four princes with the corner of his eye.
But he didn't look at the things, he just reached out and pressed them against them, looked up and asked the prince.
"Where did these letters come from?"
Emperor Deyuan's attitude made the crown prince stunned for a moment.
He couldn't figure out what his father was thinking, and now that the evidence was in front of him, you just had to look at the evidence, why should you care where he came from.
But in the face of Emperor Deyuan's questioning, the prince did not dare not answer.
"Father Qiqi, these are all collected from all over the capital, presumably the people under the seventh brother were accidentally scattered there when they left with these evidences that day, so they were picked up by the people."
The prince would not be stupid enough to say that these things were given to him by Confucian scholars.
"Please also ask my father to take a look at the contents of it, what the fourth brother did was not just about assassinating Concubine Xian."
"And this matter has spread all over the capital, and even ordinary people are very clear about this matter, and I ask my father to make a clear decision."
One of the words in this remark was clearly to force Emperor Deyuan to quickly punish the four princes.
Originally, there was no problem with these words, but when they fell into Emperor Deyuan's ears, it made him frown slightly.
Yao Qingshan, the official secretary behind the fourth prince, happened to see such a scene, and the subtle change in the expression on his face made his eyes light up.
As if he had come up with something, he strode forward.
"Your Majesty, these letters from Chen Jue are not enough proof!"
As soon as these words came out, these ministers in the court were shocked, and they all showed incredible eyes and looked at Yao Qingshan.
This is in the court, and the evidence was taken out by the prince, so he dared to question the authenticity of His Royal Highness the prince's evidence here.
The prince's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at the Yao Qingshan in front of him.
Where did Yao Shangshu's words come from? These letters were collected by the people sent by the palace himself, and they are true, and now Yao Shangshu actually said that these letters are fake? ”
Faced with the prince's questioning, Yao Qingshan didn't pay any attention to it.
Just looked at Emperor Deyuan to himself and continued to say respectfully.
"Your Majesty, it is very likely that these letters were forged by someone with a heart."
"The Mobao of the Four Highnesses is spread everywhere in the capital, and if someone wants to deliberately forge the letters of the Four Highnesses, it can be said that it is very easy."
"Besides, the mastermind of this matter is already afraid of the crime, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still holding on to this matter, and it is clear that he has his own plans."
Yao Qingshan not only openly denied the authenticity of those letters, but also pointed the finger at the prince.
Immediately, there was an uproar in the court.
Almost everyone could see that Yao Qingshan was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open.
Yao Qingshan didn't see those letters and directly opened his mouth to say that they were fake, such a judgment was too arbitrary, and looking at him like that, he didn't intend to ask for the authenticity of the letter at all.
The meaning of the words was also directed at the prince, thinking that the prince deliberately embarrassed the four princes, and even sent people to make such an attempt to deal with the four princes.
The reason why Yao Qingshan has such confidence is because he has already seen Emperor Deyuan's plan.
Emperor Deyuan's plan is that he has no intention of dealing with the four princes, from those things in the edict yesterday to today's attitude of Emperor Deyuan in the court not reading the letters at all.
These are enough to prove that Emperor Deyuan wants to end this matter, but the prince still holds on to this matter.
Although he hoped that his two sons would fight each other, he hoped that they would be able to reach the point.
put everything within the scope of his control, but the current situation, if it continues to develop like this, the fourth prince will be able to assassinate Concubine Xian.
At that time, that situation was not what Emperor Deyuan wanted to see.
That's why Yao Qingshan unscrupulously led all the dirty water to the prince's body, as long as he completely muddied the water, then he could fish in troubled waters.
For Emperor Deyuan, all he hoped for was a result, and it didn't matter if it was true or not.
"Nonsense!"
The prince pointed at Yao Qingshan's nose and directly began to scold.
"You are a secretary of the ministry, but you are willing to be a dog under the fourth child, and now you are still so upside down black and white, I see that this palace is not good to teach you a lesson today."
The prince's temper exploded in an instant.
As the queen's concubine, he has been named the crown prince since he was a child, and everyone has always followed his temper.
However, in such a major matter in the court today, someone reversed black and white, openly and secretly saying that he had falsified evidence, which made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explode directly.
said that he rolled up his sleeves, and he was going to perform a full martial arts show in this court.
However, Yao Qingshan was not dead at this time, so he went up by himself.
"Bang"
The prince swung out his fist and smashed it directly into Yao Qingshan's face.
Yao Qingshan also leaned back, and lay directly on the ground, motionless.
Seeing this situation, the four princes also knew about Yao Qingshan's plan, and immediately took the officials under him and began to shout loudly.
"The prince dares to commit murder in public, please give me an explanation!"
"How can such a tyrannical person assume the position of prince, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really ignoring His Majesty's imperial authority when he beats people, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him severely."
For a while, the officials behind the four princes knelt down one after another, all pointing directly at the prince.
Some people even want to take this opportunity to depose the prince on the spot.
And the people behind the prince did not show weakness at all, they also snorted, knelt down, and shouted loudly.
"Please check the letter, confirm the authenticity, and give justice to the virtuous concubine."
