Chapter 199: Confronting the Court and Slapping the Prince in the Face! (II)
Chapter 203 Confronting the court and slapping the prince in the face!
······
With Qin Zheng's questioning, everyone in the palace looked at Chen Chao.
Qin Yuanzhao and Shang Xun both had smugness on their faces.
It's great to see what else you can do in the Chen Dynasty, wait for death.
King Ling shook his head helplessly, he originally wanted to win over Chen Chao, but it turned out to be over.
Qin Zheng had no bottom in his heart.
He knew that once Chen Chao could not defend himself and could not exonerate himself, he would have to punish Chen Chao, and as for the crime, it would not be too light.
If the Chen Dynasty holds a grudge because of this, it is only afraid that a war between the imperial court and the Changlin fiefdom is inevitable.
Seeing that Chen Chao did not respond at this time, he had the intention of using the authority of the monarch to suppress this matter, but he had not yet made up his mind.
Moreover, if this matter is really suppressed, it is not impossible to do it, but it will definitely cause a shock in the Manchu Dynasty.
It will make people's hearts disheartened and make the majesty of the dynasty lose completely.
One goes and the other rises, but I am afraid that the Changlin fiefdom will be more proud.
Weighing the whole situation, what he hopes most now is for Chen Chao to save himself.
But, it's really hard.
······
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qin Zheng asked again, Chen Chao pondered for a while, and he looked at Shang Xun.
"Shang Xun, you keep saying that you saw me leading people to throw dirty water and dirt into the prince's mansion, I want to ask you, where is the evidence?"
And the proof!
There is also this kind of operation.
Everyone was shocked.
"I am the proof. ”
Shang Xun drank cold.
Chen Chao sneered, "Who can prove that what you say is true, and not frame me?"
"You"
"Father, Chen Chao is clearly messing around. ”
Seeing that Shang Xun was asked, Qin Yuanzhao stood up for the first time.
"Chen Chao, if there is anything you want to say and ask, I am allowed, but don't be so nonsense. ”
Qin Zheng said in a deep voice.
Chen Chao nodded lightly, then looked at Shang Xun and said, "Shang Xun, let me ask you, you said that you saw me throwing dirty water and dirt into the prince's mansion, let me ask you, why did I do this? I have no grudge against the prince, and today is the first time I have met the prince, why should I do such a thing?"
"Chen Chao, you have to quibble, whether you have a grudge against the crown prince has nothing to do with me to testify against you, is it so difficult that I need to know about the matter between you and the prince before I can testify against you?
According to your opinion, do all witnesses have to understand the festivals between the parties before they can testify?"
Shang Xun is worthy of being a giant businessman, and it is not good to have today's achievements.
He responded, and it didn't leak.
And the power of the counterattack is full.
"Father, what Shang Xun said is reasonable, Chen Chao is clearly deliberately shirking responsibility. ”
Qin Yuanzhao echoed again.
"Chen Chao, I said, don't mess around. ”
Qin Zheng once again scolded Chen Chao.
However, there is still a bias towards the Chen Dynasty.
If this person was not the Chen Dynasty, Qin Zheng would have been angry in his heart now, and he would have dealt with the Chen Dynasty directly.
How can you give a chance to defend yourself?
Moreover, he has been messing around.
"Qiyu Monarch, the grass people are not fooling around with this question, they just want to confirm it. ”
Chen Chao looked at Qin Yuanzhao and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Shang Xun doesn't know what grudges we have to understand, don't you know?"
Chen Chao asked like this, and everyone looked at Qin Yuanzhao.
Qin Zheng is even more so.
"Chen Chao, you are really a little clever, but unfortunately, this prince wants to tell you that there is no grudge between you and me, and today is indeed the first time we have met.
However, no grudge does not mean that you will not commit a black hand to my prince's mansion, although the prince does not know what the reason is, you will do this, but now that there are witnesses, you can't quibble. ”
Qin Yuanzhao snorted coldly.
"What the prince said is really good, we are indeed no grudges and no hatred, so there is no such thing as me taking revenge on the prince, since it is not for revenge, why should I throw dirty water and dirt at the prince's mansion? In my opinion, there is only one possibility, that is, to use the contradiction between the prince and me to cause the contradiction between the imperial court and the Changlin fiefdom, so that the two families can meet each other. ”
Chen Chao knew that Qin Yuanzhao didn't dare to mention Shang Qianxue's matter, after all, things were not carried out as he and Shang Xun had discussed.
Now, Qin Zheng knows that he wants to marry a merchant girl as the crown princess, and because of this, he has a feud with the Chen Dynasty, and Qin Zheng will not spare him.
Therefore, he knew that Qin Yuanzhao would only say that there was no grudge.
Chen Chao glanced at everyone, and said again, "Since it is for this purpose, and the murderer is pointing at me, the meaning is obvious, that is, my Changlin fiefdom is stirring up trouble and wants to start a war with the imperial court.
However, the words have to be explained, and I am not afraid of everyone's jokes, the strength of the Changlin fiefdom is more than self-preservation, and the attack is insufficient, so the Changlin fiefdom will not deliberately provoke trouble, it is an act of self-destruction.
And once the two swords and soldiers meet, in the end, it will only be destroyed by Changlin, and the court will be hit hard, so that others will take advantage of it.
I won't say this, everyone can understand it. ”
"Chen Chao, what do you want to say?"
Qin Zheng also had such worries, and couldn't help but ask at this time.
Chen Chaodao "Returning to the country, the meaning of the grass people is very clear, and I know that I am innocent, so this matter is that someone is framing me and wants to stir up trouble, and its purpose is to trigger a war between the imperial court and the Changlin fiefdom, so that they can take advantage of it." ”
"Chen Chao, what do you mean?" Qin Yuanzhao was furious, was this implying that he was stirring up trouble?
Chen Chao hurriedly said, "The prince doesn't have to be angry, the grass people don't have the intention of involving the prince, the prince is the prince of the dynasty, and the position of the monarch in the future will be the prince, why should the prince make such a move, even if he is dissatisfied with the Changlin fiefdom, there will be an opportunity to clean up in the future, and he will not be in a hurry to take risks in the current situation."
What the grass people want to say is that the prince is still too young, but he is afraid that he will be taken advantage of.
Although Shang Xun was a person of the Ming Dynasty, his merchants traveled all over the world, and his business was involved in the surrounding dynasties.
In doing so, he was intent on sowing discord and working for the dynasty to which he is now loyal. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire court was shaken.
Qin Zheng couldn't help frowning.
King Ling's eyes lit up inexplicably, and he couldn't help but admire Chen Chao's eloquence.
It's really clever.
Shang Xun's heart sank, full of hatred.
He yelled.
"Chen Chao'er, you don't want to spew blood, Shang is loyal to the dynasty, how can he betray.
Monarch, please also be the master of the grass people, the grass people will never betray anything. ”
"Shang Xun, you really betrayed the dynasty, which dynasty are you serving now?"
Qin Zheng seized the opportunity, and regardless of whether Shang Xun really betrayed or not, he now suppressed the momentum of helping Chen Chao to help Qin Yuanzhao and Shang Xun.
Otherwise, the matter will not end well.
Being asked by Qin Zheng like this, although Shang Xun had seen the world, he was still afraid, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly knelt down.
"Monarch Mingjian, the grass people are wronged, the grass people swear that they did not betray the dynasty, it is the Chen Dynasty who is framing me. ”
"Framing you, Shang Xun, what evidence do you have to prove that I am framing you?" Chen Chao asked with a cold snort.
"Me"
Shang Xun's lungs were about to explode, and Chen Chao's counterattack was too fierce.
His words sounded a little reasonable, but at most they were tied with him, but the disadvantage was that Qin Zheng was on the side of Chen Chao.
Chen Chao naturally understood this, so he was able to fight back so smoothly.
Otherwise, if Qin Zheng dealt with it fairly, he would not have an advantage.
But sometimes that's the case, the right time, place and people will affect the direction and outcome of things.
Now the Chen Dynasty and Qin Zheng are people, and the most important thing is that Qin Zheng is heaven here, and it occupies the time of heaven.
He didn't occupy the geographical advantage, but he accounted for two of the three, which was enough to be invincible.
Of course, no matter how favorable these factors are, in the end, it still depends on Chen Chao's agility and accurate grasp of the development of things.
Get to the point of the matter.
Seeing that Shang Xun was deflated, Chen Chao said, "Shang Xun, it is difficult to prove your innocence now, you are no longer worthy of being a witness, you had better shut up for me now, otherwise, you will not be able to protect yourself." ”
Reprimanded Shang Xun coldly, Chen Chao slowly got up and left the chair for the first time from beginning to end.
He looked at Qin Zheng with a solemn expression.
Seeing that he got up, his face was solemn, everyone was stunned, and the princelings were even more nervous, what did this guy want to do.
King Ling had a gleam in his eyes.
Qin Zheng was also slightly stunned.
Is this a final counterattack?
I want to see how evil he can be.
