Chapter 280: Display of Evidence
Chapter 280: Display of Evidence
Therefore, Prince Dingyuan will not be implicated in tomorrow's morning court session.
"Let's wait for the emperor's people to investigate personally. He has always been suspicious. Even if the evidence is solid, he may not completely believe what the prince has found out. Only when someone he trusts investigates will he believe it more and become more angry."
An Zhenyuan and Prince Xian are the people who know the emperor best. They both know how to handle this matter in order to achieve the most appropriate result.
The two of them sat for a long time, and the wise king glanced at An Zhenyuan.
"When will you go to the border? Can you wait until they get married?"
The main purpose of An Zhenyuan's return was to investigate the matter of Prince Dingyuan. Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, someone has reported it.
An Zhenyuan is a general guarding the border. It is a serious crime for him to return to Beijing without permission. Now he has stayed here for so many days. He should have left long ago.
Moreover, after the prince tells this matter tomorrow, the emperor will definitely arrange his confidants to go to the border to investigate the matter in detail, and he must be there at that time.
"I will leave tomorrow night." An Zhenyuan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
He also wanted to stay and watch his daughter get married, but there was simply no time.
He didn't have much time to stay in the capital. Once his secret departure from the army was discovered, the emperor would definitely not let him off easily.
"Alright."
The wise king also knew that this was the best way, but putting himself in An Zhenyuan's shoes, he also felt sorry for him.
The next morning, the prince's men brought up the matter in the court.
When the emperor saw the detailed evidence, he became furious and immediately summoned Prince Yong to the palace.
Prince Yong had no idea about this. He thought that the emperor suddenly had something important that needed his attention, so he changed his clothes and quickly followed Xuanren's royal guards into the palace.
When Prince Yong walked into the council hall, he realized that the ministers were looking at him strangely.
He suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart and quickly looked at the ministers standing on his side.
But he saw that they were all staring at him anxiously, as if they wanted to say something important, but because of the presence of the emperor and others, they couldn't open their mouths.
The emperor was too lazy to waste time and simply threw all the evidence in front of Prince Yong.
Prince Yong looked at the emperor in confusion, and subconsciously picked up everything on the ground.
When I saw the contents of the letter and the secret letter and other things next to it.
Prince Yong was instantly horrified. His face quickly turned pale and his whole body began to tremble slightly.
How is this possible? Why are these things here?
These things not only detailed his connection with Liu Qian, but also the fact that he had once secretly gone to the border. Even the specific time, the fast horse he rode, and everything he did there were recorded in incredible detail.
Even he himself had forgotten some details.
In addition to Liu Qian, he also met privately with a deputy general in the army and bribed him. The specific things they ate at that time, how much silver he bribed, and what conditions he agreed to were all listed on it.
Prince Yong took two steps back in disbelief. He finally understood why those ministers looked at him like that when he entered the hall just now.
Then he forced himself to calm down. He absolutely could not lose his composure.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. What I said above is all fabricated." Prince Yong had a serious expression on his face. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor.
"Father, I know that there have been villains trying to harm me during this period. I didn't say anything about the previous things, but now there are still people who frame me like this. I feel really wronged."
"Your Highness, there is solid evidence here. How can Your Highness say that you have been wronged?"
The prince's men stood up and looked down at the person kneeling on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Prince Yong just turned around and glanced at him with disdain, then turned to look at the person sitting at the top.
"Father, please understand. I have never done these things. These are all unprovoked disasters for me. I beg you to understand."
Prince Yong knelt in the council hall with his back straight and a frank look on his face.
This has caused many people to doubt the authenticity of the evidence.
If Prince Yong really did such a thing, how could he dare to let the emperor investigate?
Even the emperor couldn't help but feel that there might be other problems in this matter when he saw Prince Yong's look.
He did not trust his son, but he also did not dare to believe that he would arrange people to poison the commander just because he failed to win him over.
An Zhenyuan was in charge of an army of 100,000 and guarded the border. It was because of his existence that those ferocious barbarians did not dare to harass the people at the border at will.
If something happens to An Zhenyuan, there will be no suitable general in the court, and there will be unrest on the border.
Subconsciously, the emperor also did not want to think that he had such a son who would cause unrest in the entire country for his own purposes.
The prince's men wanted to say something, but were stopped by the prince's eyes.
The prince glanced at the emperor's expression and walked out of the court.
"Father, I also think that my Third Brother is not such a person. I hope Your Majesty will look into this matter."
Now that the Crown Prince has stepped forward, King Cheng naturally does not want to be left behind.
"Father, I also think this is absolutely impossible. How could Third Brother do such a thing? Someone must have deliberately framed him."
When Prince Yong's people saw that the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng both came out to speak for Prince Yong, they all looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
Shouldn't they be adding insult to injury at this time? Why are they still speaking for Prince Yong?
However, no matter what, now that the Crown Prince is taking the lead, Prince Yong's people have come forward to plead for Prince Yong.
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at those people without saying a word.
"Someone, go and summon King Xian to the palace to discuss matters."
Hearing the emperor's words, everyone present was a little surprised.
Why did King Xuanxian come to the palace for this matter? King Xuanxian had nothing to do with this matter.
Moreover, the wise king has not been taking care of state affairs in these years. What does the emperor mean by suddenly calling him over?
Everyone felt puzzled, even the old ministers couldn't figure it out.
Prince Yong was still kneeling straight on the ground, with his eyes lowered to hide the panic in his eyes.
He kept wondering what was going on with this matter and who listed these things as evidence?
Could it be that there is a traitor around him?
But who betrayed him?
The people who knew about this matter at the time were all his confidants who had followed him for many years.
Moreover, as of today, most of the people have died, and those details that even he had forgotten are being mentioned again bit by bit today.
