"What?"

"The person who colluded with the assassins of the Zhao Kingdom and assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned out to be the Great Prince?"

"How is this possible? The eldest prince has always been upright, how could he do anything to collude with foreign enemies and assassinate His Royal Highness the crown prince?"

"Is there any misunderstanding in this? How could the eldest prince be the one who assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

For a while, these ministers in the court began to talk one after another.

Even An Guogong couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard the news. However, on the field, only the right minister Yu Wen Chenghua and the fourth prince Chu Yu's expression was calm and calm, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

After letting the ministers talk for a long time, Chu Yunxiu, who had a gloomy face, glanced at Hong Sifeng next to him, and Hong Sifeng immediately understood what he meant.

"Quiet, quiet, what kind of system is it to be so noisy above the court?" Hong Sifeng shouted at the Manchu Dynasty.

These ministers who were talking a lot immediately quieted down, but everyone's faces were still full of shocked expressions, and the impact of this incident on them was too great.

Previously, although they also knew that the eldest prince and the crown prince Chu Mo had always been at odds, they even had the intention of replacing Chu Mo and becoming the new crown prince of the Chu State.

But they didn't expect that in order to get the position of the crown prince, Chu Sheng would do such a serious and stupid thing as colluding with foreign enemies and assassinating the prince.

Because of this matter, once exposed, the crime of colluding with foreign enemies is even greater than the crime of directly sending someone to assassinate the prince.

This is something that no king can tolerate.

If he just sent someone to assassinate Chu Mo, for Chu Yunxiu, it could also be regarded as a competition between children. But Chu Sheng colluded with the assassins of Chu State, so the nature of this matter has become different.

He can collude with foreign enemies to assassinate the crown prince now, so he can collude with foreign enemies to usurp the throne of Emperor Chu in the future.

Just ask, which emperor can tolerate his children doing such things?

Therefore, after hearing Chu Mo's words, Chu Yunxiu's face had become extremely ugly, and he couldn't wait to let someone pull Chu Sheng out and dismantle it immediately.

But the premise is that what Chu Mo said is true!

After Hong Sifeng scolded the ministers to calm down, Yu Wen Chenghua, the right minister, finally stood up and asked Chu Mo: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you said that the eldest prince colluded with the assassins of Zhao State to assassinate you? Do you have evidence? If there is no evidence to prove what you said, then falsely accusing and framing siblings, this crime is not small?"

Chu Sheng, who had been silent, saw that the right minister stood up to speak for him, and he was trembling standing next to him, and finally came to his senses, and he also shouted: "Yes! Your Royal Highness the Prince, you keep saying that I colluded with foreign enemies to assassinate you, what evidence do you have?"

"Of course I have proof. Chu Mo said with an oath.

Chu Sheng thought that he had dealt with it very quickly, so he also said without fear: "Oh, then what about your so-called evidence? Now in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, if you have evidence to prove that it was me who colluded with foreign enemies to assassinate you, I, Chu Sheng, let you fall!"

"That's what you said. Chu Mo smiled coldly at him, and then immediately said to Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu: "Father, the son has found a few witnesses and is waiting outside the palace, can you summon the witnesses into the palace now?"

Chu Yunxiu hesitated, but when he thought that the current situation was already difficult to ride a tiger, he had to nod slightly and agree.

Hong Sifeng, who was next to him, immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Summons the witness to the temple!"

A moment later, Li Jin took the few people who had promised to testify for Chu Mo and walked backwards to the palace hall.

As soon as these people saw Emperor Chu on the dragon chair, and then saw Chu Mo and Chu Sheng with an angry face, they were immediately so frightened that they trembled all over, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"When you see Emperor Chu, why don't you kneel down and salute?" Hong Sifeng scolded angrily.

These witnesses were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Emperor Chu again and again, and even forgot to say the words of greeting.

Seeing that they were frightened, Emperor Chu had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "Forget it, let's be polite!"

"Thank you...... Your Majesty!"

"Thanks...... Your Majesty!"

These people stood up tremblingly, but they all lowered their heads, and they never dared to look up at Chu Yunxiu on the dragon chair.

Instead, Chu Yunxiu couldn't help but ask, "Prince, is this the evidence you are talking about?"

Chu Mo nodded heavily, pointed at them and replied, "Father Qi, these people are the witnesses found by the sons. These people had previously helped the eldest prince Chu Sheng contact those assassins of the Zhao Kingdom, if the father didn't believe it, he could ask them now, and even send someone to investigate their identities, so that he could know that what they said was true. ”

"Okay, then you can tell everything you know!" Chu Yunxiu asked the witnesses.

But in the face of Chu Yunxiu's interrogation, these witnesses were silent all of a sudden, and they didn't say a word one by one.

Frightened, Chu Mo hurriedly asked them, "Your Majesty is asking you something, why don't you answer?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what should we say?" one of them asked Chu Mo.

"Tell me everything you know. For example, how did the eldest prince tell you to do things, and what did he tell you to do!"

One of the witnesses nodded immediately, then suddenly raised his head and said solemnly to Chu Yunxiu: "Your Majesty, it was the eldest prince who asked the villain to contact those assassins of the Zhao Kingdom, and the eldest prince opened up a good relationship, secretly escorted those assassins of the Zhao Kingdom into Kyoto, and then helped them wait for the opportunity to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Chu Mo was secretly happy, but the next moment, the witness who opened his mouth suddenly looked at Chu Mo and showed him a very sinister and weird smile, which made Chu Mo can't help but chuckle in his heart.

"It's not good, it's a trick!" Chu Mo secretly said in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the witness who opened his mouth immediately said to him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince? You see me answer like this, are you still satisfied? You have taken my family, can you release it now?"

"You !!" Chu Mo pointed at him angrily.

But before he could speak, the few people next to him also reported Chu Sheng's crimes to Chu Yunxiu, but after the report was completed, they asked Chu Mo more, asking him if he was satisfied and whether he could let their family go.

At this moment, Chu Mo immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder he thought that Li Jin had found these people who were doing things for Chu Sheng so easily, and these people so readily agreed to testify for him in the palace and point out Chu Sheng's crimes.

It turned out that all of this was a trap designed for himself, just waiting for himself to jump down.

Listening to those witnesses, who were still pleading for his family, Chu Mo couldn't help but close his eyes.
