Emperor Chu was very angry.

He asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Zishan!" ”

Zhang Zishan is the secretary of the Criminal Department, he bowed his head and arched his hand: "The minister is here!" ”

"Tell me how the crimes committed by the three princes should be punished."

Zhang Zishan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Jun very vaguely.

Chu Jun nodded lightly.

Zhang Zishan suddenly had an answer in his heart, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the law of Dachu is cloudy, and people in the royal family who violate the law should be punished heavily, therefore, the crime of defiling the people's daughters committed by His Royal Highness the Third Prince should be beheaded according to the law!" ”

"Chop?" Emperor Chu frowned.

The military department Shangshu said lightly: "Your Majesty, the third prince has fallen to such a point, all because he is to blame, and now the human and material evidence is there, and not killing is not enough to anger the people!" ”

Emperor Chu was displeased: "This matter has been spread all over the city?" ”

The military department Shangshu immediately explained: "Without His Majesty's will, how dare the ministers rashly spread this matter?" ”

"Since the common people still don't know about this, why is it not enough not to kill the people? What you just said is a bit more serious. ”

Although Emperor Chu's face was full of anger, his words still revealed the intention of protecting Chu Chen.

After all, the tiger poison does not eat children, the son under his knees died and was exiled, and now that he is getting older, he does not want to have a white-haired person send a black-haired person again.

The military department Shangshu Xu saw the intention of the Chu Emperor.

So the conversation changed, and he said with some reluctance: "Of course, if the third prince can obtain the victim's forgiveness, this case may also be dealt with lightly......"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chu's eyes immediately looked at Sun Rui.

Sun Rui hung her head, her expression was sluggish, and she looked more sad than dead.

Seeing this, Emperor Chu didn't want to ask again, and then looked at Chu Jun, who was not far from her: "Chu Jun, you brought your third brother to me, what do you want to do with him?" ”

Chu Jun gave his hand, knowing that the Emperor of Chu wanted to leave Chu Chen's life, he had a touch of disappointment in his eyes at this time, and said: "According to Erchen's humble opinion, the third brother can be exempted from the death penalty and cannot escape the crime of living, or will he be sent to the frontier first and serve three years of hard labor?" ”

"Three years younger, five years."

Hearing this punishment, Emperor Chu immediately agreed, and said to Chu Chen with a frown: "Rebel, don't kneel down and thank you, it is the greatest grace to you to save your dog's life!" ”

Chu Chen sneered, noncommittal: "Why should I be grateful?" ”

For a while, all the colors present changed.

Emperor Chu slapped the table, got up and said angrily: "You rebel, you have fallen into a catastrophe, and you still don't know how to repent?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "What I Chu Chen has done, I will naturally admit that I did ask for Sun Rui's body before I got married, but after all, this matter was not caused by me, why should I bear all the punishment alone?" ”

The military department Shangshu suddenly felt a little ridiculous at Chu Chen's stubbornness: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you said it wasn't because of you?" Could it be that there is something hidden in this matter? ”

Chu Chen sneered: "If there is no hidden secret, then why did Sun Rui appear by the side of the palace in the middle of the night?" ”

The military department Shangshu was annoyed and angry: "It may be that you sent someone to capture her, or it may be that you designed to deceive her!" ”

Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "There is no basis for what you say, as long as you can come up with evidence, this palace will directly admit guilt without saying a word!" ”

Bingbu Shangshu's lips twitched, and he looked at Sun Rui: "You are the party, if there is evidence, take it out quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Rui just kept wiping her tears, because she couldn't show evidence at all, tonight was Chu Chen, who she took the initiative to find in accordance with Chu Jun's order.

Faintly, even the secretary of the military department realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but regret it.

Then he made up for it: "Your Majesty, Sun Rui is too sad now, and she must not be able to ask anything from her mouth, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince's attitude towards His Majesty is really hateful, Your Majesty should punish it a little, otherwise the princes will follow suit after knowing it, where is Your Majesty's dragon power?" What is the royal system? ”

Emperor Chu took a deep breath: "After all, this rebel is about to be distributed, I ......"

He originally wanted to say that he would give Chu Chen another chance to mend his ways, but he obviously underestimated Chu Chen's stubbornness.

At this moment, Chu Chen was extremely disappointed with the Chu Emperor in front of him.

Since entering the palace, he has never listened to half of his explanations, but has been blindly led by Chu Jun and Wubu Shangshu. Not to mention protection, but anyone who can order a thorough investigation of this case can impress him.

It's a pity that no, nothing.

Emperor Chu directly convicted himself.

Thinking back to everything that had just happened, Chu Chen took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head and said, "They are right, I have repeatedly contradicted my father in public, and I should indeed be punished, but can I decide the method of punishment?" ”

"What...... What? ”

This strange request made everyone's faces crawl with surprise again.

Emperor Chu was even more vigilant: "How do you want to punish yourself?" ”

Chu Chen straightened up and was expressionless: "You are the emperor and you are the biggest, there is no need to investigate this case anymore, I admit everything, and I also accept the fact that I have been exiled to the frontier for five years." ”

"But before that, I decided to punish myself, from this moment on, I, Chu Chen, am no longer a member of the Great Chu Imperial Family, nor am I the son of your Chu Emperor."

"From now on, everything in Da Chu has nothing to do with me!"

Rumble!

A voice like thunder slammed into everyone's hearts.

There was an eerie silence in the study.

Just after Chu Chen said this, even Sun Rui and Chu Jun looked at him with incredible expressions, and Chu Chen's calm and calm face at this moment was no different from a madman in their eyes.

But why did Chu Chen do this?

Shock and confusion made everyone feel a deep sense of unease.

There was silence for a long time.

Emperor Chu's panting voice gradually spread throughout the entire imperial study, he stared at Chu Chen with a pair of eyes, walked quickly in front of him, and asked condescendingly with anger: "Rebel, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"I'll give you one last chance to take back what I just said, and I can pretend I didn't hear it."

Chu Chen said lightly: "If you say it, it is the water that has been spilled, I can't take it back, and I don't want to take it back!" ”

The hall was once again plunged into the terrible dead silence of the moment before.

The rest of the crowd was breathless, and they didn't dare to speak easily.

This result was completely unexpected.

Emperor Chu was like an extremely angry lion, staring at Chu Chen with red eyes, this angry gaze from the king made the imperial study quickly filled with an invisible pressure.

Everyone else had a look of fear on their faces.

I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be angry and condense an unimaginable terrible storm......
