Chapter 113: Unfettered - Great Freedom

Just when Chu Mo closed his eyes and calmed down to think about how to resolve the current predicament.

Chu Sheng, the eldest prince who had been holding back just now, suddenly knelt down in the main hall, and cried very aggrievedly to Emperor Chu on the dragon chair: "Father, have you seen it all? These so-called witnesses of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are just the ones he found to frame his sons, and he asked his father to make decisions for his sons!"

After crying to Emperor Chu, Chu Sheng turned to Chu Mo again, and asked him hoarsely: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although the eldest brother listened to the slander before, which caused us to have some misunderstandings, but in order to keep your position as the crown prince, you don't need to frame me so hard, right?"

"It is said that the royal family has no brotherhood, and it seems that what they said is really true. The dignified prince of Chu State, in order for himself to be able to become the emperor of Chu smoothly, did not hesitate to give his brother such a big charge of colluding with foreign enemies, he really didn't give me a way to live as a big brother!"

"That's enough!" Chu Yunxiu suddenly slapped the dragon chair and roared angrily below.

He Chu Sheng's words just now can be regarded as completely angering Chu Yunxiu.

Although the royal family inevitably cannibalizes each other, for Chu Yunxiu, the most taboo thing is to see them kill each other. Now that Chu Sheng said such a thing in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, how could Chu Yunxiu not be angry?

This is not in front of the ministers, nakedly slapping him Chu Yunxiu's face, implying that he, the Emperor of Chu, has no way to teach, so he let his heirs do such fratricidal things.

Chu Yunxiu scolded angrily, and the entire court finally returned to silence again.

Silence, deathly silence!

In everyone's heart, they are playing their own little ninety-nine at the moment.

But except for the high-ranking ministers such as the Right Prime Minister and An Guogong, the rest of the civil and military officials are actually holding a kind of mentality of watching the show.

After all, no matter how much this matter is involved, it is none of their business.

After being silent for a long time, Chu Yunxiu, who had held back his anger, finally asked, "Prince, what the hell is going on?

Chu Mo nodded and replied, "Father Qiqi, these people are indeed found by his sons, and each of them is also related to the assassination of the assassins of the Zhao Kingdom. It's just that Erchen didn't arrest their families, nor did he tell them what to say when they went up to the main hall. ”

"Then what did they mean by what they said just now?" Chu Yunxiu asked.

"These people have promised that they will point out the crimes of the eldest prince for their sons. Unexpectedly, in this hall, he suddenly turned against him, and Erchen expected that this matter must have been deliberately instigated by the mastermind behind the scenes, and its purpose was to make him change from a perpetrator to a victim. ”

As he spoke, Chu Mo looked straight at Chu Sheng who was kneeling on the ground, and the meaning of these words was already obvious.

Although Chu Mo had already explained, he also knew very well in his heart that these words had only dispelled some of the concerns in Chu Huang's heart at most, and he wanted to completely prove that what these witnesses had just said was not instigated by him, and I am afraid that other evidence was needed to prove it.

At this moment, Chu Mo finally realized what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. This is obviously already a winning ticket, and it can bite Chu Sheng to death.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he turned the tables against the wind and almost moved directly to himself.

Chu Mo had to get serious again, sure enough, people who were born in the royal family and were able to grow up smoothly were not simple characters.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you want to say that the words of these witnesses you found were also deliberately instigated by me to make them say that, right?" Chu Sheng immediately retorted.

"Yes or no, it's not for me to have the final say, and it's not for you to have the final say. Everything must be evidence!" Chu Mo replied lightly.

At this moment, An Guogong also stood up to speak for Chu Mo and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed full of suspicions. If what these people said just now was really ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, then why did they dismantle His Royal Highness the Prince's platform on the spot in the main hall?"

"It makes sense! The situation just now shows that these people are deliberately targeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really been framed again?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately changed the direction of the wind in the court, and eliminated most of the unfavorable remarks against Chu Mo at once.

Now, those who originally mistakenly thought that Chu Mo was deliberately looking for someone to frame the eldest prince Chu Sheng began to become wavering, and some even thought that Chu Mo was actually the one who was framed.

In the court, it was immediately divided into two factions, on the one hand, it was believed that Chu Mo deliberately bribed witnesses and wanted to frame the eldest prince Chu Sheng. On the other hand, it is believed that Chu Mo was set up by these witnesses, and they deliberately wanted to frame Chu Mo and give Chu Mo the crime of framing his siblings.

Seeing the two factions arguing, Chu Yunxiu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help frowning again.

This time, Chu Yunxiu did not tell Hong Sifeng to calm down the ministers again, but asked Hong Sifeng in a low voice and asked, "Gonggong Hong, what do you think about this matter?"

Hong Sifeng bowed to Chu Yunxiu and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave only knows how to serve Your Majesty and solve problems for Your Majesty, and the old slave really doesn't know about the affairs of the court!"

This Hong Sifeng is worthy of being an old man serving in front of the palace, even if he knows what he says at this moment, Chu Yunxiu will not punish him, but he has always remembered in his heart that eunuchs and harems are not allowed to interfere in politics.

Chu Yunxiu naturally saw his careful thoughts, frowned and said solemnly: "I am worried about this matter now, if you have any good way to solve this matter, it is to solve my worries." ”

In that case, the old slave had the courage to say a word. ”

Hong Sifeng glanced at the witnesses below, and then smiled lightly at Chu Yunxiu: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is all caused by these witnesses. If Your Majesty wants to know, were these people coerced by the crown prince to give false testimony to frame the crown prince, or were they instigated by the prince to frame the crown prince?"

"Your Majesty only needs to hand over these people to the old slave to deal with, and the old slave has the means to pry open their mouths and let them tell the truth. Hong Sifeng smiled slightly.

However, this kind smile hides countless sharp knives at this moment, and knives cost people's lives.

After hearing what Hong Sifeng said, the two sides who were arguing in the court suddenly fell silent.

This Hong Sifeng is an old man in front of the emperor, he punishes criminals and uses torture to extract confessions, which is unmatched in the entire Chu State.

Therefore, after hearing the conversation between Hong Sifeng and Chu Yunxiu, these arguing ministers suddenly felt that there was no need to fight any further.

Because as long as Hong Sifeng was tortured, everything would fall into place.
