Chapter 313: Scourge (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

I have to say that as soon as the prince's words came out, the hall was still quiet.

The emperor and queen supported each other all the way, and they had a deep affection for each other, even after the founding of the country, they also accepted a few concubines, but first, the emperor just went to the routine, and secondly, the weight of state affairs, and he didn't have much energy to go to the harem. Therefore, only in the early years of the empress gave birth to the crown prince and the third prince, and later the emperor was busy dealing with the battle of the big moon, and he was also older, so there was no heir born again.

For a country, it is enough to have two princes to support the country. Even if the third prince is weak, the crown prince is very healthy, and he has a grandson, which can make the Great Zhou court feel at ease.

But when the crown prince committed the crime of killing his brother, and was to be deposed for it-

The crown prince is abolished, and his heirs naturally cannot take over, so only the three princes are left.

But after the third prince fell ill when he was young, he has been lingering until now.

As a rule, when he reached the age of fifteen, he should marry a wife and concubine, and now he is eighteen years old before he is ready to discuss marriage.

The key is that according to the imperial doctor who has been treating him for many years, even if he talks about marriage and becomes a relative, it is difficult to say when he will be able to have a child.

Everyone doesn't say it, but they all understand in their hearts that the emperor's body can't drag on for many years, can the three princes afford to bear the waste of the Great Zhou?

If he falls ill twice in three days, will he be able to suppress the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?

The dearest Punzhirong Palace's palace has also fallen, if he can't give birth to an heir for a long time, it will be a problem to even succeed the crown prince from the clan!

The national royal law needs to be respected and maintained, but the inheritance of the throne must not be chaotic at all, even these heroes in the dynasty can't look at the achievements established by the monarchs and ministers back then!

The prince's words are completely fearless.

It was the queen who was furious first, she raised her hand and flicked it, and the teacup in her hand flew down at the feet of the prince: "Rebel! Are you intimidating us?

"The abacus is so clear, you must have thought it through! Your father and I have never been willing to be coerced! Even if you were raised by you and me, so what? Are you sure that Da Zhou is yours?! ”

Originally, the capital Yushi and Dali Siqing on the side were still afraid of the queen's wife, and they would have a little soft-heartedness, and this queen was also admired by the world, and when things happened suddenly, even if they were compassionate, they could understand, so they couldn't bear to speak out.

At this time, hearing the queen's attitude, Du Yushi couldn't help it, he came out and said: "The prince first said nothing to the emperor, and then falsely accused the heroes of the court, so, putting aside the case of the murder of the emperor's eldest son, just with your remarks, you are not worthy of the identity of the prince!"

"Your Majesty! The ministers agreed to escort the prince to the forbidden palace first, and after finding out the truth, if the prince's crime of killing his brother was correct, he would be deposed immediately! ”

Dali Siqing also listed: "The emperor is wise!" The prince disregards human ethics and violates the law, and he should be severely punished! ”

The voices of the two ministers were repeated, and at the same time, the guards heard the summons of the queen and had already come in!

The emperor and queen joined forces to start a business, of course, they were not willing to be led by the nose, although the prince's words hit everyone's sore spot, but this move was urgent, the imperial power was still in the hands of the emperor, even if the prince had already taken precautions, it was still difficult to counter the emperor on this.

Xu Yin watched this for a long time, and then he took his robe and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suspicious, the facts are not clear at the moment, and the hasty abolition of the reserve will cause unrest in the world, please think twice!" ”

The emperor turned his angry eyes to him: "You still dare to come up? ”

Xu Yin raised his head: "The minister doesn't know what the emperor means by this, and I ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

The emperor said: "Six years ago, King Rong's father and son killed the emperor's eldest son, what role did you play in it?" What are you involved in?

"What did you do three days after the murder of the emperor's eldest son, on the night of August 16? How did your fiancΓ©e, Liang Ning, the sister of the Fuguo General Liang Qin, die?

"How did Princess Rong die a few days ago?"

Xu Yin responded: "The emperor is clear! None of the above has anything to do with the minister! The minister has been conscientious for the country and the people, and has never exceeded the rules, and please don't let the emperor be provoked by traitors! ”

"Adulterer?" The emperor stretched his body, "Who do you mean?" ”

Xu Yin's face was serious: "Your Majesty! Although the minister didn't know what General Pei wanted to do this time, he could hear a little bit about what he had just said to the Zhang family's father and son, thinking that General Pei had found some clues about the murder of the emperor's eldest son by King Rong's father and son, and then sued the emperor. But the emperor, even if King Rong's father and son assassinated the emperor's eldest son, it can't prove that these crimes are related to others, let alone prove that it is not King Rong's father and son who have murderous intentions, even if General Pei handed over such a letter, as His Highness said, the letter can also be forged, and there is no one to prove that His Royal Highness is involved in it now? Not to mention that General Pei even falsely accused the minister and deducted so many hats for the minister!

"The minister knows that General Pei has made meritorious contributions to pacifying the northwest, but he is difficult to be a great hero for his actions! As an important minister, he provoked the father-son relationship between the emperor and His Royal Highness, what is his intention? Do you want to avenge the eldest son of the emperor, want to solve the mystery case six years ago, or are you not satisfied with the reward given by the emperor, and use the topic to play in a vain attempt to shake the country?

"Your Majesty! Queen Mother! King Rong and his son died in such a timely manner, could it be that Pei Zhan blocked the mouths of King Rong and his son in advance, so that he could turn black and white blood upside down in front of the emperor, it is still unknown!

"He Pei Zhan can abolish the crown prince today with the hands of the emperor's mother, and in the coming day, he will be able to control the government with one hand, and it will not be impossible to have the ambition of usurping the country in the future!"

If he didn't know the details under Xu Yin's face, Pei Zhan would have believed him to sing this play!

Where is this murderer with two lives on his back?

Isn't this a brave and loyal servant who is dying?

Pei Zhan looked at him deeply, didn't care how he was emotional, and only began to think about the question that had been hovering in his and Fu Zhen's minds for a long time, what did Xu Yin want to do?

If what Tie Ying guessed is true, Xu Yin, as the winged king who was ambitious and wanted to be the king of the Great Moon, inherited his grandfather's last wish, then it makes sense for him to want to bring down the Great Zhou, the prince is immoral, even if he is the emperor, he can't win the hearts of the people, the handle is in Xu Yin's hands, in the future, when he is ripe, he will shake it all out, and the crown prince will definitely not sit on the throne.

But the key is that Xu Yin is not stupid, now the evidence is in front of the emperor, even if the emperor does not kill the prince, the suspicion is also buried, how could the founding emperor who personally laid down the country be willing to hand over the country to such a cold and ruthless person? No matter how they sing this play, the prince will definitely not be able to do it.

And Xu Yin must have guessed that Tie Ying fell into his hands, if he was alert enough, he should also be wary of Tanzhou, in the current situation of almost taking the two of them, he was still firmly standing by the prince's side, before entering the palace, he was not busy looking for an opportunity to escape, why did he enter the palace instead?

He wouldn't think that he would be able to help the crown prince secure his position in this situation, and his own secret would be kept, right?

Taking another 10,000 steps back, if Xu Thief's act of defecting to the prince is to fulfill his ancestral ambitions, after his identity as a Dayue person is revealed, how can the prince tolerate him? Although the crown prince is vicious enough, he will not let an enemy emperor heir by his side in vain, and he will not allow Xu Yin to go to the step of realizing his ambitions!

Also, if Xu Yin is rooted in the Great Zhou Dynasty and has a plan for Dayue, then what has he done over the years in addition to wooing He Qunying?

Tie Ying has been checking him for so long, and he has only found out the power of up to a few hundred people around him.

Even if these hundreds of people were all Jingwei, it wouldn't be enough for him to kill Da Yue back.

With Da Yue's decaying national conditions now, he is the king, so what? It was just a small subsidiary country that was flattened by the iron hooves of the Great Zhou!

He honestly stayed in Da Zhou as a powerful minister, and he will be admired and famous in history in the future, isn't it better than this?

Why is he tinkering with this? Why rush to give the emperor eye medicine?

At this moment, Pei Zhan put aside Xu Yin's slander, and his attention was all on the logic behind his words!

The queen watched Pei Zhan grow up, and she had a little bit of trust, and she couldn't hear Xu Yin go crazy: "You are also full of talent, and when you can use the right path in this palace, you are so clever and eloquent, and you are still reversing black and white with physical evidence in front of you!" ”

As she spoke, she placed the folding fan and handkerchief in the eunuch's tray on the table, "Keep your eyes open and look carefully!"

"What is this?

"You instigated Yongping to go to King Rong's mansion to look for it, is it this fan? King Rong's father and son are dead, but Yongping is not dead!

"Do you want to explain, why do you know that King Rong has this fan in his hand? And do you want to explain why you went to such lengths to get it?! ”

This is the first time Xu Yin has seen this fan, earlier he just guessed that the fan was taken away by Pei Zhan, and now it appeared in front of him, which strongly confirmed his conjecture, and made him pause.

He quickly surrendered his hand again: "Niangniang Mingjian, these things have never been in contact with the ministers, and the ministers have not been deeply involved in the affairs of the Rongwang Mansion.

Originally, the ugliness of the family could not be publicized, but since General Pei falsely accused the minister, the minister had to speak out.

"The minister was selected by King Rong as his son-in-law as a poor family, and he was not respected by King Rong and his wife for many years, and Princess Rong humiliated the minister in many ways in private, and the affairs of the palace were not allowed to interfere with the minister.

"Yongping committed a crime before, and the minister never showed up because he avoided suspicion, and he was hated by Yongping to this day. A few days ago, she was on the mourning hall of Princess Rong, and she was attacked in public.

"She now has a deep grudge against her ministers, and what she says cannot be used as evidence!

"I don't know how much effort General Pei put in behind the scenes, and he actually got these relics of the emperor's eldest son, but since such an important relic is on him, it shows that he took it from King Rong's mansion, so isn't the murderer of Princess Rong more suspicious?

"Please also ask the emperor to investigate clearly, don't listen to his words, no matter how the minister is looked down upon by the Rong Palace, the princess is also the minister's mother-in-law after all, how can the minister kill her?

"It's impossible for Liang Ning, the minister has a deep affection for her, and there is no reason to attack her at all!"

After saying that, he fell to the ground and knocked his head a few times.

If it weren't for the attitude of the emperor and the empress here, his self-defense would have been enough to gag people's mouths!

After all, the current situation is that the only person who is the father and son of King Rong is dead! Although the evidence is evidence, it can only prove that they have been killed by King Rong's father and son, and the existence of the letter also proves that King Rong's father and son were made by others!

There is no strong evidence as to who they are!

After listening to Xu Yin's rebuttal, Pei Zhan continued to purse his lips and remain silent.

He already knew the extent of the sinister and cunning surnamed Xu, which was why he chose to enter the palace early to explain what had happened to the emperor in advance.

Before that, he was not sure whether the crown prince was the real culprit who instructed King Rong to kill people. Even if it were, he wasn't sure if the emperor and empress would really abolish the crown prince.

But the main purpose of him and Fu Zhen has always been to pull out Xu Yin's skin, so that the sinister and cunning him can reveal his true colors in front of the emperor and accept the emperor's severe punishment, so as to use the sharp blade of Wang Fa to cut him under the knife and complete revenge.

In this case, Xu Yin and the crown prince were able to fight back without hurrying, which was nothing more than relying on the fact that King Rong's father and son had committed suicide in fear of sin!

The only person who can personally testify that the prince is the real murderer, and who may testify that Xu Yin killed Liang Ning, except for King Rong's father and son, there can be no one anymore! In other words, if King Rong's father and son, who are the murderers, cannot come forward to identify them in person, it still seems a little unconvincing to take down the crown prince Xu Yin like this.

The evidence is incomplete, and that's their biggest fight!

However, it was Liang Zhi and Du Mingqian who went to arrest King Rong's father and son, two serious generals in the court, and it was impossible to do this wrong!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if King Rong's father and son received the news in advance, wouldn't Fu Zhen also be outside the palace?

Pei Zhan remembered clearly that when he proposed to let Fu Zhen follow him into the palace, Fu Zhen refused, saying that she had other things to do outside the palace.

What is she going to do?

She is not an ordinary woman, she was once a female general who could go into battle to kill the enemy, she knows better than anyone else the importance of King Rong's father and son, will she neglect this layer?

So, are King Rong's father and son really dead?

Pei Zhan's silence fell into the eyes of the prince, and he didn't give anyone a chance to think about it, and then Xu Yin's words went straight up: "What Xu Shilang said is very true!"

"What Fang just said is just Pei Zhan's words, who can prove that what he said is true?

"Father, it is another matter whether the sons and daughters accept the throne or not, it is a disaster for the Great Zhou to keep a courtier like the Pei family in the court!

"Especially when he conspired with the other three major generals' mansions to frame his sons and loyal ministers in the court, they are about to turn the sky upside down!

"Shouldn't you bring him to justice immediately? Such indulgence will ruin the court! ”

The crown prince's voice resounded in the hall, which was similar to the gentle and honest image he usually presented in front of people, and the emperor and the empress looked at him with complicated eyes, and under the expression of not being angry and arrogant, there was an unfathomable power of the Son of Heaven.
