[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 20, the time of the year, the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace]

Li Jin, the king of Wei, followed Gao Liangshi into the Zichen Hall slowly, and he saw the emperor sitting on the throne, his face was like a layer of frost, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

It stands to reason that the King of Wei, with the respect of the Prince of Jiuzhu, no longer needs to bow down in front of the emperor, but Li Zhen still walked to the front of the emperor, knelt down on the ground facing Li Chongsheng, and said respectfully:

"The son knocks to see his father!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Gao Liangshi, get a pestle for Jin'er!"

Li Zhen cautiously took a seat on the pestle that Gao Liangshi had bent over, but before he could sit down, he heard Li Chongsheng's majestic and cold voice already coming:

"Jin'er, do you know why your father urgently summoned you to the palace?"

"I don't know!"

"Hmph!" Li Chongsheng snorted coldly, the expression on his face obviously didn't believe what Li Zhen said, only to hear the emperor ask again:

"Did your eighth brother come to you last night?"

"Back to my father, the eighth brother came to the son's mansion last night. ”

"What did you talk to him about?"

"Father......" Li Zhen was a little embarrassed in his heart, and said in his heart If I don't tell the truth to my father, it will be a bully, but if I beat the eighth brother last night, how can I say it clearly to my father?

"The eighth brother came to see Erchen last night and said that he hadn't seen Erchen for a long time and missed Erchen very much. Erchen and Eighth Brother talked about major events in the world by candlelight, and they all talked happily!" Li Zhen blurted out before he could think about it.

"You and Xi'er 'talk with candles and nights, and talk about the world's major affairs'?" Li Chongsheng's eyes were like electricity, staring at Li Jin, and then asked:

"When did you become so close?"

"Father, son-in-law and eighth brother, although their political views are somewhat different, they are brothers after all. The eighth brother has a handsome demeanor and is full of talent! In the heart of the son, he has always admired the eighth brother very much......"

Li Chongsheng waved his hand, blocked Li Jin's words, and then asked:

"Did you talk about Xu Ke's case?"

"Oh!" Li Zhen hurriedly said:

"The eighth brother also talked about the case of no illness last night. The eighth brother said that he had been impeached without illness and was suspected of 'fornicating with demons and harming the capital', but it was actually his impulsive action. Later, when he returned to the mansion, after thinking about it, he felt that he was a good official, but in fact there was no crime of 'fornicating with demons'......"

"Really?" At this moment, Li Chongsheng, a pair of dragon eyes and two golden rays of light shot out, shining directly on Li Jin's face, and the emperor stared at King Wei's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking.

"Enlighten the father and the emperor, what the son said, everything is true, and there is no lie!" Li Zhen was busy bowing to the emperor in front of his seat, and said earnestly.

"What a 'sentence is true, there is no lie'......" Li Chongsheng stood up, paced a few steps around the dragon chair, and sneered again and again:

"I have already asked Yuan Tiangang, the supervisor of Qintian, on the 16th day of April, Yuan Tiangang was in the Xu Mansion in Liquanfang, and he saw with his own eyes that there was not only a fox demon and a rat demon inside, but also a cat demon and a deer demon killed in on the way!

The dissatisfaction and disappointment on Li Chongsheng's face became stronger and stronger, and he continued:

"From this point of view, on the fifteenth day of April, Xi'er came to me, and Chen Zuo Xu Ke hid a big demon in the mansion, in a vain attempt to collude with the demons and kill the people of the capital. What he said at that time was really reasonable, and every word was true!"

Li Chongsheng walked down from His Majesty, came to Li Jin's ten steps, pointed at Li Jin, and asked awe-inspiringly: Love 999

"Your eighth brother and Tsing Yi Wei Xu Ke have lived in the same life, and the two of them have no grudges. He impeached Xu Ke for his crimes, and it was also out of a pure public heart! I ask you, what was wrong with him? How could he 'act on the spur of the moment'? How could he 'go back to the mansion and think about it, and then feel that Xu Ke was a good official and not guilty of the slightest crime'? He is not a three-year-old child, how can he act in such a inconsistent and contradictory manner?!"

"This ......" Li Zhen was already bitter in his heart at the moment. He said secretly, how could Yuan Tiangang see so many monsters in the disease-free mansion? I just learned about this. But even so, what I said is not false, the eighth brother did say so with me in the middle of the night yesterday!

Li Zhen saw that today's emperor has been in an aggressive posture since he first entered the palace, and what he said at this moment has no room for maneuver, if he changes his words at this time, it will be a self-confessed crime of deceiving the king. At that moment, he had to turn his heart sideways and said in a self-protesting voice:

"Father, what the son said is also the truth......

"Bold!" Li Chongsheng raised his eyebrows and said angrily:

"Until this moment, you still dare to lie and talk nonsense! Tell me, where did you catch Xi'er?!"

"Eighth brother was arrested?!" Li Zhen raised his head and asked Li Chongsheng in surprise.

"Last night, in front of your Wei Wang's Mansion, Xi'er was suddenly attacked by a group of gangsters and forcibly taken away, until now, his whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown......! Didn't he get kidnapped by your men?!"

At this time, a pair of dragon eyes stared straight at Li Jin's eyes again, and the emperor's eyes were already filled with a rush of anger.

"Father, son-in-law doesn't!"

At this time, Li Jin, who could no longer care about his identity as the Prince of Jiuzhu, hurriedly got up, knelt down on his knees facing the emperor, prostrate on the ground, and said bitterly:

"Even if Erchen has great resentment, he will not attack his own brother! What's more, there is no resentment between Erchen and Eighth Brother, how could Erchen send someone to kidnap Eighth Brother?!"

"It's really not you?"

"Father, there is absolutely no son!"

Li Chongsheng returned to his dragon chair and sat down, but his face was still angry. The emperor did not let Li Zhen get up, but asked coldly:

"Xi'er is within a hundred steps outside the gate of your Wei Palace, and he disappeared for no reason! If you hadn't sent someone to kidnap him, who else would dare to touch him as a Prince of Qizhu in the entire Chang'an City?"

"Father, the son doesn't know, why did the eighth brother suddenly disappear? Please believe that the child will not harm his siblings no matter what!"

"Hmph...... Li Chongsheng's eyes left the top of Li Jin's head, but turned to one side, and looked obliquely at the top of the pillar of the temple. The Emperor stared at the lifelike flying dragons, and his thoughts seemed to return to the time of the court meeting on the first day of the fourth month. I only heard the emperor snort coldly, and then said:

"On the first day of the first month of this month, at the early dynasty ceremony, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you bluntly said about the ugly incident of your sixth brother opening a brothel without permission! Pity your sixth brother has passed away, and you still want to let him die with an infamy! At that time, why didn't I see you thinking about the brotherhood with Zuo'er?"

"Father, on that day, when the son saw that his father was going to be guilty, the son was in a hurry, so he had to come out to testify!"

"Hmph! Jin'er, you are very protective of this 'disease-free'! However, no matter how good the disease-free is, he is also a person with a foreign surname! Zuo'er, Xi'er...... They're all your own brothers!"

"Father, the son knows that he is wrong! The son should not expose the shortcomings of the sixth brother in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military! No matter how much the father and emperor punish the son, the son will admit it! But the eighth brother was taken away, and it was really not the son's doing!"

"Not necessarily, right? You are a 'profound and straight' person, and you are still like this to Zuo'er, can you have good thoughts about Xi'er?"

The emperor's meaning is very simple, in the eyes of my Li Chongsheng, you Li Zhen was originally a merciless person, you don't even let go of the sixth brother who has died, how can you be soft on the eighth brother who is still alive?

"If the father still doesn't believe in the child, the child will only die once to prove his innocence!"

Li Zhen suddenly straightened up, his head and neck were strong, and he slammed it to the ground!

At this time, Gao Liangshi, who was hidden behind the pillar of the temple, and Li Chongsheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw that Li Zhen would hit his head on the ground and die with his will, and their faces changed greatly! The two of them were busy trying to stop them, but Li Jin's move was too sudden, and the two of them were still far apart, even if they made an emergency move, they were already beyond the reach of the whip!

I saw that Li Jin's forehead was facing down, and he had already slammed down on the floor.

It seems that Li Zhen is kowtowing to the emperor at the moment, however, if his "ringing head" really hits the ground, he will be dizzy, and if the strength is too strong, he will have to die on the spot!
