Under the gaze of everyone, King Lao Min walked out of the queue tremblingly and came to the center of the hall. Seeing this, Zhu Yinqi quickly went up to help, but was pushed away by King Lao Min.
The courtiers present could not help but be a little surprised when they saw him coming out.
You should know that after the old Min King fainted at the Zhengdan Banquet, he has been living in the Ten Princes' Mansion, staying behind closed doors and not seeing anyone.
Everyone in the government and the public speculated that the old man was disheartened after seeing his sons fighting with each other and getting to such an extent that he was completely unwilling to get involved in the matter.
Some people also think that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. When this case is tried, whether it is true or false, one of the two sides, King Zhennan and King Guangtong, must be punished.
King Lao Min couldn't bear to take any side, so he simply stayed behind closed doors and waited until the case was concluded before he came forward to plead for mercy.
However, compared to the surprise of the courtiers, the clan kings present remained calm.
They already knew King Lao Min's position before they came.
Otherwise, how could Zhu Yinqi, a mere junior, be able to help so many of their princes come forward?
King Lao Min came to the palace, leaned down to salute, and said.
"Your Majesty, this matter is an old matter, and it is not a glorious matter. Therefore, I have never mentioned it, but I never thought that it would be used to make a big fuss."
As he said this, King Lao Min glanced at the somewhat embarrassed King Zhennan and sighed.
"The person who ordered Hui Yan to go to the restaurant to bring Hui Xun back was none other than me. Otherwise, with Hui Yan as the crown prince, how could the people in the palace obey his orders and imprison Hui Xun, the legitimate son?
?”
"However, the reason why I issued this order is not because of any slander against Renmiao, but because of a romantic affair."
If you want to talk about this, everyone will be interested...
So, in the eyes of Old Min King, who hated iron for not becoming steel, everyone figured out the whole story.
Although King Zhennan is now as chubby as Maitreya Buddha, looking at Zhu Yincheng's son, we know that he was also a charming and charming young man when he was young.
As the saying goes, a young man matches a beautiful woman. At that time, King Zhennan fell in love with a courtesan in the city, secretly redeemed her body, raised her in a foreign palace, and even got pregnant.
But the fire could not be contained in the paper, and this matter was soon known to Zhu Yinqi's mother, the wife of Zhennan King, Xu.
So, while King Nan of Shangyuan was out for a banquet on the night of Shangyuan, Mrs. Xu rushed into the outer mansion with her people, took the oiran lady to the old King Min and cried...
"Your Majesty, according to the law of our court, the children of the royal clan are not allowed to approach prostitutes, and they are not allowed to take girls of low status into the palace as concubines. Therefore, when I learned about this, I was furious and immediately asked Hui Yan to come before me.
Went to bring Hui Xun back and imprison him."
"Unexpectedly, not long after, the imperial court sent officials, claiming that Hui Xun had defamed Ren Temple and came to investigate."
"When I asked about it, I found out that Hui Yan actually used the incident of Yuan Ye to make a fuss, slandering Hui Xun and slandering Renmiao. In the end, the court found nothing and instead deposed Hui Yan as the heir apparent. This
This is what I know about the truth back then."
After saying this, the officials in the palace looked at King Zhennan with a somewhat incomprehensible look.
I didn't expect this guy's body type and such a romantic past.
Everyone did not believe all of King Min's statement, but they believed most of it.
After all, it is very easy to investigate this kind of thing. This oiran lady is most definitely someone.
However, it is not certain whether it is involved in the case of King Zhennan.
But in the end, King Min gave a logical explanation.
As a result, the suggestion that the restaurant slandered Renmiao is somewhat untenable.
At least, as Zhu Yinqi said, there is no direct evidence that can prove that the poems written by King Zhennan in the restaurant were the so-called poems that slandered Renmiao.
At this time, Luo Tong, the left deputy governor, also stood up.
At this point, the officials who presided over the previous trial basically had no way out, so they naturally became the ones to find fault.
Luo Tong pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Since Prince Min said it himself, we believe that it is true for the time being. However, even if the Crown Prince of Min went there on the order of the Crown Prince, it still cannot completely eliminate the suspicion of King Zhennan. Perhaps, the Crown Prince has arrived.
Later, it is not impossible to accidentally break into the Zhennan King's slanderous temple."
However, Zhu Yinqi immediately retorted.
"Lord Luo also knows that this is only a possibility. Since the possibility mentioned by Sir is possible, it is also possible that the poems written by my father at that time have nothing to do with Renmiao."
"Does Mr. Luo have to be charged with such an unfounded charge?"
Luo Tong's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that this young Prince of Zhennan would be so sharp-tongued.
Frowning, he finally decided not to get too entangled in this matter and said.
"Your Majesty, after all, it has been a long time since the incident happened in the restaurant. It is very difficult to verify it. However, the poems used as physical evidence are indeed real."
"The paper and ink quality of the poems came from tributes given by the imperial court to various princes in the first year of Xuande."
"After many comparisons, the handwriting is the same as the handwriting of King Zhennan at that time. How can we explain this? If the prince wants to say that it is perjury, he is afraid that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Hanlin Academy will
Even the appraisal scribes won’t agree!”
In the final analysis, the cause of this case and the most important evidence were the poems that slandered Renmiao.
As long as this evidence is still there, King Zhennan cannot be freed from the charge of slandering Renmiao. With this charge on him, other charges are also a matter of course.
Seeing Luo Tong change his angle, Zhu Yinxi was not afraid and said: "Master Luo, please be patient. This is exactly what I want to say next!"
With that said, Zhu Yinqi turned to King Guangtong aside and asked.
"Uncle Si Wang, since you brought this physical evidence, my nephew dares to ask. According to Uncle Si Wang, this poem was originally used by the former Crown Prince Min to prove my father's crime of slandering Ren Temple.
So why was it that when the court finally sent officials to investigate, he couldn't produce it?"
King Guangtong frowned, a little impatient.
"Of course it was your father who was extremely cunning and secretly stole the poems, then bit back and framed my elder brother."
Zhu Yinxi sneered and continued to ask: "Okay, then if my father sent someone to steal it, then why didn't he destroy it, instead of it eventually falling into the hands of the fourth uncle?"
this……
King Guangtong choked on his words, his face turned pale, and he said in a panic.
"This, of course, was an accident. Although your father sent someone to steal the poems successfully, the man had a great sense of justice and couldn't bear to see such contempt for the king, so he hid the poems secretly. By chance, the poems were stolen.
Come into the hands of this king."
Zhu Yinqi pressed forward step by step and asked with a cold tone.
"Really?"
"Then I dare to ask Uncle Si Wang, who is the person who stole the poems, and why did he not give the poems to others, but to Uncle Si Wang?"
This time, King Guangtong had cold sweat on his forehead and was speechless.
"This this……"
